THOUGHTLESS TRAPPERS.
Torture to Animals and Ruthless
Destruction of Game,
People who have not seen can form
no idea of the suffering trappers cause
nor of their ruthless @estruction of
game. Nothing escapes them. Even the
squirrels are sacrificed to bait traps
for marten and fisher, and not only the
squirrels, but all kinds of birds, wheth-
er game or song birds.
In trapping mink, otter, beaver and
a few other fur bearing animals the
trap is nearly always set near tle
water, where -the animal when caught
ean drown itself, thus ending its suf-
fering.
But with bear, marten and fisher it is
different. The bear must drag a heavy
clog about until it catches in some root
or bush. There he must walt until the
trapper comes to kill him, and this in
some cases is not for days. The bones
of the leg are almost invariably broken
by the trap, aud the leg swells to in-
credible size. One trapper in one day
shot nineteen large blue grouse merely
to try a new rifle. The birds were nest-
ing. He had no use for them, and not
one did be even bring to camp.
Years ago in British Columbia an old
trapper camped near our bear hunting
party. He shot everything he could
find, even little ducks and marmots. A
goat he killed fell over a cliff, and as
it was harder to recover it than to shoot
another he shot another. He was
trapping beaver out of season and
boasted of having caught one that was
about to become a mother.
1 have seen the spot where a bear
fast in a trap had been caught for more
than a week in a thicket through which
it was impossible to drag the trap and
clog. I once knew an old French trap-
per who shot seventy-three moose and
elk in one winter for bear bait for the
spring catch. I asked why he killed so
many. He said that he wanted a big
stink in the spring so as to bring the
bears around. All of the animals he
had slaughtered for a spring stink were
shot with a revolver, for they were
snow bound and could not escape. He
told me that he dropped five big elk in
one pile. This frightful destruction by
trappers has exterminated the game.—

Michael F. Dwyer Dead.
New York, Aug. 20. — Michael F.
Dwyer, long one of the most promi-
nent figures of the American turf, died
at his little cottage in Brooklyn, op-
posite the Gravesend race track of
the Brooklyn Jockey club, of which
Philip J. Dwyer, a brother of the dead
horseman, is president. Dwyer was
one of the most famous pluners the
turf has ever known. He was a large
operator, and amassed a greater for-
tune, it is said, than ever Pittsburg
Phil Smith, the most noted of the
modern race-track bettors. Smith died
wealthy, while Dwyer was practically
penniless.

Pottsville, Pa., Aug. 20.—A complete
surprise was caused by the late re-
turns of the Republican primaries re-
ceived from the country districts.
These so change the result that it is
apparent that Charles N. Brumm, of
Minersville, will have 800 majori
over William S. Leib for the pe
sional nomination.
Killed By Jump From Carriage.
Reading, Pa., Aug. 21.—While Susan
Garrett, aged 17, was out driving with

collided with another buggy. Miss
Garrett jumped and was killed. The
others escaped infary.

produced his cigars. To each man he
handed one. Taken aback at thelr
reception, they seemed abashed and
confused. “I know that you came to
kill me,” he said. “Why do you not
proceed to your task?’ This was too
much for even this bloodthirsty depu-
tation. They could not kill the man

who invited them to carry out their

it was the eye which counted. While

had so frequently heard the great man
denounced as the curse of Europe that
he feit impelled to seize the chance to
destroy him. He was a cominon sol-
dler at the time and had to do sentry
duty in one of the corridors of the pal-
ace along which Napeleon passed. He
put his finger to the trigger as the
duke, accompanied by Napoleon, drew
in sight. He aimed for Napoleon's
heart. Napoleon saw him. He said

gaved his life. He knew its effect

LANGUAGE EVOLUTION.
Use of the Sufix “Less” In
Nouns and Adjectives.
Many will remember that some years
ago there went on a violent contro
versy about the word tireless. The
discovery had been made that “less”
was a suffix which could properly be
appended only to nouns; hence the
Verbs,
forin must be discarded, dnd we must |
all take pains to say untiring. The
duty of so doing was preached from
scores of professional and newspaper
pulpits. No one seemed to think or
care for the various other adjectives
similarly formed and therefore liable
to the similar censure which they
never received. Hostility was direct
ed against it alone. The actual flaw
which vitiated the arguments against
tireless its censors never knew or took
into consideration. This was that the
fancied rule covering the creation of
guch words had practically long ceased
to be operative whenever a new forma-
tion struck the sense of the users of |
language as being desirable.
Unquestionably in our earliest speech
the suffix “less” when employed to
form adjectives was joined only with
pouns. But the general sloughing off
of nominal and verbal endings which
went on in later centuries reduced a
great proportion of substantives and
verbs in the speech to precisely the
same form. In consequence the sense
of any fundamental distinction be-
tween the two broke down in many
ways—in one way in particular. There
is nothing easier in our speech than to
convert a verb into a noun or a noun
into a verb. It is a process which has
taken place constantly in the past and
is liable to take place at any time In
the future, either at the will or the
whim of the writer or speaker.—

The Romance of Lisbon.
Of Lisbon itself and beautiful Cintra
it is scarce necessary to write. Com-
mander Shore in his book, “The Pleas-
ant Springs In Portugal,” says: “I be-
lleve there is only one other European
capital that can compare with Lisbon
in point of situation and splendor of
appearances, Constantinople, and the
resemblance seems to have struck
other travelers besides myself. Cer-
tainly when the morning mists are
clinging to the shoves, partly screening
their beauties and lending to the scene
the charm of mystery that Turner
loved, Lisbon does seem like an en-
chanted city.” What could one say

per second, the velocity increasing with
the temperature at the rate of about
one foot of speed per second for each

again, in damp air sound moves with
a greater velocity than it does in dry
air, no odds if the dry air be warm and
the damp cold. In water sound moves
