QUEER USE OF GRAMOPHONE
That Instrument 10 Not Designed Merely for Amusement Has
 Been Proved.

The gramophone is sometimes put to strange uses. The leader of an Ali rican hunting expedition, who set out on motor trip from the Cape to Cairo. recently used it as a decoy for tigers and hippopotami. In tiger hunting it Is usual to tether lamb to tree; it's bleatings attract the tiger within reach of the hunters. Before leav- ing England, the explorer had some records made by bleating lambs. and, says a writer in Answers, he tried them on the unsuspecting tigers of the African jungle with considerable suc- cess.
 The record makers gained one of their greatest triumphs when they suc- ceeded in getting good nightingale and blackbird records. The chief diff ficulty was the objection that the birds had to the sounds of the re- cording machine. The clever men got round that by setting up dummy recording machine, in the horn of which they put some of the birds fa- vorite food.
 When bird entered the horn to get the food the clockwork was set in motion. The little creatures soon grew accustomed to the sound, and so, after much tedious and discour- aging labor, successful records were made. These records Are selling in thousands all over the world.
 The gramophone is also of service in more serious and more scientific undertakings. Records of all dialects and languages spoken in Great Britain have been made and preserved in the British museum for the benefit of posterity. The people of the thir- tieth century will know by the help of these records just how Manx and Gaelic sounded, and how the cockney lingo differs from braid Scots." Sev- eral of the universities also have col iections of the same kind-Ytuth's Companion.

Kills Raspberry Canes.

The disease known as raspberry an. thracnese causes small dead spots on the canes and kills fruiting clusters. Sometimes SO many of the dead spots occur that the entire cane is killed This disease is spread by unclean nur- sery stock or may come from wild plants into plantation. The com. monest source of it, however, is nur- sery stock Under favorable weather conditions and on some soils especial ly, 1t may destroy a years fruit crop, and destroy the prospect for next years crop at the same time.
 It may be only imperfectly controll. ed by spraying. It is safest to plant only clean stock and to destroy an old diseased patch rather than fight the disease.

My regrets for time were keen, but upon my re- turn to this country found myself in the height of the 1907 panic. Secu- rities seemed almost worthless and actual money unobtainable. Then I congratulated my wife on her wisdom, and pointed out what fine fellow l had been to follow her advice.

Wife's Advice Made Her Think Otherwise.

When I am going to be extravagant always like the encouragement of my wife. and 1 usually get it. writes A. Edward Newton in the Atlantic Monthly. I determined to talk over with her a proposed purchase. Her prophetic instinct in this instance was against 1t. She reminded me that the business outlook was not good when we left home and that the reports received since were anything but en- couraging.

Profit In Mistakes.

Because one has made a mistake in the business world is no cause for dis couragement, for if one is keen enough to see and correct it, it may lead to fu- ture success.
 Setting the goal high and permit ting no discouragements or mistakes to change the course will do away with many of the disappointments found in the path of most people at some time in their experience.-Christian Science Monitor.

 Happlneaa.

The small boy gets his happiness neck deep in the creek on an August day; the grandfather finds it in the society solumns of the newspapers when their names appear "among those present." some look for 1t in the stock market-to them it is matter of dollars snd cents. There are as many varieties of happiness as there are sorts of people. But the most satisfying and lasting happiness is the retroactive type that comes through making others happy. We get out of life in proportion to what we put into it.

Relic Of the Roman. in England.

Relic OF the Romans In England.
A farmer brought about the discov
cry Of mysterious house In Somerset.
England. In blowing he turned up sew
eral pieces of pottery and some coins.
Men were set to digging on the spot
and uncovered the charred ruins Of an
immense house. 1t was about $50 feet
long. 80 feet wide and contained nine
teen rooms. The outer walls. still
standing. are of heavy masonry, and
the floors are Of concrete. Some Of
them were formerly covered with tiles.
Quantities Of charcoal over the ruins
showed that the building was destroy
ed by fire. The house has been exam
ined by scholars, who say that it was
built in the days when the Romans
were in possession Of England. about
1000 years ago. The occupants have
left many relics scattered about the
ruins-p0ttery dishes and utensils. a
grindstone. a small milestone and 9TH
er objects. Buried in corner were
several pieces Of window glass and the
neck of a small glass vase.

NOT NATURE TAXING

Harry Hutton, the genial pump boss
- The Horn Rapids Irrigation COM
pany's plant No. l was in town the
ather day and was heard to relate a
most marvellous tale. A good many
81 those present at the recital were OF
-. on;nion that Harry had been hit
t;rv ,em up" a little too strong, but ne
vouehed for the fact that he had been
amt IN the timbers for several days
before the affair occurred and so this
Alteration was entirely erroneous.
According to his narrative he was
sitting in his parlor one evening
.uuistly reading the war news when ne
t.ppened to look up and there, COM
ins straight for him was a snake
vh;eh looked to him about six feet
lone. He courageously grabbed a hoe
and killed the intruder. He then re-
sumed the latest reports from the
front and after an hours quiet read
ing CHANGED to glance up ana mere
came another snake as large as num-
Der one. He Immediately proceeded
to disable this one as he had the first.
A few nights later Harry woke up
suddenly, thinking he was pursued by
a legion of snakes, only to find that
he had wound the bed clothes round
and round himself, until he resembled
nothing so much as reptile. He then
turned over and went back to sleep,
feeling that he had already been visit
ed by his quota of snakes for this
season. Harry says that he hadn't
been to Kennewick for two months, so
any knockers can cease to sound the
anvil chorus and look upon this as a
purely animal story.

versy For Stated Sums Of Money
Many Defendants Jointly Named
Agents Thought to Have Grated.

| Chicago, Dec 4.-Forty- six indict-
ments, naming fiftyfour defendants
were returned late yesterday as re-
suit OF the grand jury's inquiry into
alleged labor graft.
| Fifteen OF the true bills charge ex-
! tortion; fifteen, containing sever
counts each, charge conspiracy: third
! batch Of fifteen charge malicious mis-
chief and one indictment, containing
sixteen counts, charges conspiracy.
| The defendants named range from
| heads of local labor organizations and
small plate glass manufacturers to
| sluggers.
Testimony before the grand jury
wove long tale of intimidation, ex-
tortion and the harassment OF per-
sons who declined to submit to the
demands of certain union business
agents and their alleged associates.
Total bail in the cases aggregated
| s10,530,000. The return of the bills In
the criminal court was preceded by
raid in which detectives gathered up
e. number of the defendants. who. it
had been rumored. were about to leave
the city.
Frank Comerford, Benedict J. Short
and William A. Guinea appeared for
the defendants and argued for reduc-
ton Of the bail.
Attorney Charles Center Case, ,Brr,
representing the state, opposed the
reduction, but consented to stay the
issue OF capiases on the promise OF
counsel for the defense to surrender
their clients in open court tomorrow.
Defendants Jointly Named.
The imposing proportions of the
aggregate bail was due to the fact
that all of the defendants were jointly
named in each of the indictments.
Evidence presented to the grand
jury purported to show that where
contractors or property owners fell
out with the business agents OF the
unions the windows OF their places
of business would be smashed.
1t was alleged that the victims, to
stop persecution. had to go to John
B. Johnson's saloon. where the al
legged extortioners made their head
quarters, and settle. Until he did

ers involved would refuse to replace
broken windows. Those indicted in-
cluded the following business agents:

general plan OF procedure In the al

Heavy Bail Demanded.
Charles c. Case. assistant states att
'torney, said today he was prepared to
demand bail aggregating 1850. 900 for
the release Of the fifty-four defendants
named by the grand Jury yesterday In
indictments charging labor graft. He
said he would demand total bail Of
$4,000 for each man. Attorneys for
the defendants commended that the bail
was excessive.
There are 6.946 counts against each
defendant. forty-seven Of whom are
officials and members OF the buildings
trades unions, two are saloonkeepers.
two bartenders, two plate glass deal
ers and one electrical contractor.
These men are disgrace to union
labor and should be drummed out Of
it." States Attorney McClay Hoyne
said.
Twenty-six Of the fifty-four defend
ants appeared in court today and
pressed for reduction in bail from the
$1s5,000 each. asked by the states at
torney to $4,000. Assistant States At.
torney Case insisted on the higher
amount. Counsel for a number Of the
men under arrest said the grand jury
action was part Of conspiracy to de-
stroy union labor in Chicago.
