BULLET DIDN'T KILL

Moose Lived for Days With One In
Its Heart.
The head of q bull moose. which
lived for days and perhaps for weeks
with a bullet In its heart, now graces
the west door Of the South Dakota
capitol at Pierre. 1t has an antler
spread Of SIX feet. The animal was
killed by b. A. Cummins of Pierre
while hunting in Canada and the
mounting was done at Winnipeg.
When the moose vas dissected the
bullet was found In its heart, covered
with rust, and hunters believe that
the animal had carried the bullet for
a considerable length OF time. The
moose seemingly was In the best Of
health when killed.

useless to say anything, almost a pity
to have the ability TO think anything.
1t is not now that our attention is d.
rected to the difficulties many people
nave to withstand since the new sanitary
dem n Is are being thrust upon the com
munity without regard to whether they
are feasible or not or even lawful. We
have heard enough of il and when
we have explained TO some parties
that these regulations are not COM
pulsorv, we have been answered that
such and such orders had been given
them and it they were not carried out
they would be fined. The strangest part
of the whole thing is that while we are
being impressed upon that these meas
uras are for the public benefit and abso-
lutely e%xpedlent, attention, is only being
constantly paid to these ''reforms'' where
such viii entail sons expense to private
parties. The gu9+ers on the streets are

mer0us yards al orders from the SAM
tary officers, is left Just there. in
our opinion in q dangerous, and far
more unsightly position than if it had
been lift inside; public wells do not seem
to require wire shutters: a useless trough
erected en- the public wharf in memory of
a person unknown to anybody here, and
itself a useless obstacle, except to harO)r
m0squitoa larvae, are unobserved while
tn sanitary men are busily engaged in
roofing 10 somebody's backyard to inspect
tha closets or order some dry trash
thrown out of the yard.
The limit Of extreme demands seems
to have been reached the other day when
We learned of parties being ordered to
uproot greens planted in their wards dur
ing the time when all were enjoin4d up
on to plant vegetables and raise gardens.
1t amounts to an encroachment upon pe0-
pies civil rights to attempt to control
what they shall plant in their yard or
what they shall not plant, Or whether they
shall plant anything at all. Sanitary mea-
sures will be welcomed by all progressive
people and nowhere will objections be
raised to purely reasonable and neces-
sary demands, but what we object to is
that any department should have the
right to be Instrumental in mourning ex-
penses uDon poor people because some
sanitary feature is to be carried out. In
former times, the prices for doing all
kinds of work did not reach the half
of what We have to pay for inferior
labor along the same lines now, and
it should be borne in mind that while

cute the Sanitary DEPARTMENTS or.
ders are unable to do so for lack of
pecuniary ability, such orders should
be fulfilled from public furds. 1t APP
pears to US hat the renovation
of c~isterns and water closets for the ben
eft of the public health should be
paid for from rublic funds. There
is talk of a water supply for the island:
IN event this project natures, it would
be carried out as a measure for the pub
lie good and the expenses connected
Herewith betrayed from public funds;
we'll likewise when we want to eXpel or
alter something for public good, the
resources of individuals should not be
taxed and embarrassments thrown up
before them, because the work is to be
performed on private property, Cases
are recorded where the price charg-
ed by the Sanitary Department for
executing work has been as much
as half underbid BY other Workmen
privately engaged. This sort of thing
gets The people riled and largely defeats
the intended efforts at cuitivating inter
est in sanitation which then becomes
a disgusting institution the value Of
which, when compared with former
times. is not apparent.
What we nave here said is intended
solely az .nst a system and it should be
entirely clear hat no personal attack
Is iE,ended against any of the sanitary
officers who may be simply following
their plans an instructions. What we
aim at is to have the Government take
serious notice Of the question 10 have the
sanitary requirements performed without
annoyance or distress TO persons unable
to stand the burdens imposed upon them,
and that attention be paid to consisten-
cy which we have pointed out to be lack
ing, in that sanitary demands rigor-
ously enforced on private property are
net carried out on public places where
there is as much danger to public health
from neglect of the same; also that the
sanitary regulations provide moderation
in prescribing the nature in which chan
ges and additions shall be made. For
instance the introduction Of backstops to
closet seats are a nuisance which it ought
to be left to the people to decide whether
they will have or not. Now let US ask
in this connection, what control has the
Sanitary Department got in regard to
seeing that the same thing it aims at eli
mlnating by the use of the fixture re-
ferred to is not violated indoors ?

after that hook the string TO the notch

This toy works just the same way so

piece of wood. You will notice that
this piece tapers both ways-both in

the broad end must be cut carefully.
A fine saw viii be necessary-as
near the thickness of the cardboard
to be used for the wings. as it is pos
sible to get. It is easily seen that this
piece can be split very easily in saving
this slot.
Cardboard is to be used for the
wings and for part c. 1t should be

The Boy Who Made Possible for You To Get There In

would help him to do big deeds. He
had ideas but not the proper means
to execute them. And so, when he
was a young man he started in at
little school and with the first grade
children studied his A B C's and
learned to read and write. AS soon
as he could read he got all the books
he could about steam engines and
studied them carefully. All this time
he was working hard for he was try
ing TO save up enough money to get
married on. By careful saving he
managed to get enough and he and
his wife worked doubly hard to keep

and George moved to another town
where employment was offered him.

all the way back again. One trouble

spent in making clay models of the

out of a nearby mine. When the fore
man of the mine found that George
had discovered for himself quite lot
about the working of the engine he
employed the boy to look after the
engine which pumped water out of the
coal pit. The more George saw of the
engine the more he wanted to know
about it, and the longing to read
books that would teach him of these
things flIled all his thoughts. When
