order by the president. The Sect.
called the roll; about twenty five

Brauner and Robt. Propst were
presented and duly elected men,
bers. Total membership seventy
two. Many incidents of the stirring
times of 1S40 were related, and all
expressed themselves delighted
with the opportunity of voting for
the grandson of Of our grand old
standard bearer, Gen. W. Fl. Har-
rison. Fl. I. MILAN was called on
for such remarks as he might see
proper to make. He responded by
reminding the club cf how init
mate the issues of this campaign
were to those of 1910, and drew a
striking illustration of the effect
of protecting our own manufaot-
ing interests by referring his hear
ers to some of the magnificent dis
plays of home manufactured hard
ware in our presence, as result
of the policy inaugurated in 1910.
Mr.. MILAN excused himself from
further remarks on account of pres
sing legal engagements, and was
followed by Judge Sands who took
up the subject outlined by Mr..
MILAN ana in a clear and lucid
manner showed up the results of
protection not only on hardware
but every other industry. Show
ing conclusiyely that it was by |
protecting our every interest by |
levying duty on foreign imports
that has made our government not
only the richest, but grandest and
most Independent government in
the world, whereas, had the policy
advocated by the free trade Dem
ocratic party in 1910 been adopt
ed and pursued to the present
time, instead of being the grand
est, mightiest and happiest nation
on the face of the globe, he believ-
ed we would to-day have been a
mere dependence upon Great
Britain or some other more DOW
erful nation. The Judge was lis
tened to with the closest atten-
ton and was frequently interrupt
ed by applause or by some one of
the old veterans in confirming his
statements by relating his person.

ELECTRIC ACCIDENT PRE-

A most wonderful invention is re-

gineer has, it is said, designed a truck
to run before every railway train, be-
ing maintained always at fixed, but
adjustable, distance in front by the
force of an electric current transmit
ted along the rails from a dynamo, on
the engine. --,r
The current is conducted through

truck comes into collision the tubes
are broken and the contact conse-
quently destroyed. The interruption
of the current instantly and automati-
cally applies the brakes on the follow
ing train. ... .f..f
It is claimed by the inventor that
two expresses fitted with this system
might with impunity be set to run full
tilt at each other. The, collision of
their pilot trucks would arrest the
progress of both trains before they
could meet. The element Of human
fallibility is accordingly entirely elm

There is great significance in hand.
shaking, and many are the methods
used to perform that operation. Some
seize your hand with a fervent grasp
one foot extended-and holding
your eye with their own. Such is the
salutation of the. jolly tar, ready to
share "the last shot in the locker"
with the stranger of the hour. Others,
again, seize your hand with as much
~fervency, and may mean as weu~to,
ward you, but, they do not look
directly at you, but past your cheek,
with eyes steadily set, as if looking
for some underlined ghostliness beyond,
and seeming to converse with the
same. Others give too great a show
Of fervency to the salution, causing
your fingers to Jingle with pain; you
involuntarily glance at the injured
hand, expecting it to have been, com
pressed into one horrid, bruised, ex-
tended dexter finger. Others, again,
add to this exhibition of muscular
power by swinging your hand up and
down, a sort Of intimation that they
are about to "pump" you Some
give you the tips of their fingers;
others take the whole hand. The most
abominable hand shaking is that lazy,
~listless' offering, giving no pressure,
and averse to receiving any. We
have shaken hands with such persons,
and the memory of it annoyed us for
an hour afterward. It was like touch
ing a wet dish-cloth, or a cold, CULVER
ing frog. An embarrassing shake of
the hand is when the party greets you
hastily, yet silently, as if he felt guilty
of holiness, or was not quite sure that
he had not been misled by a resem-
| blance. It is as awkward as a pause
in conversation-no one knowing
quite what to say under the circum-
| stances.-Er. -t-. 49,.

CALIFORNIA RABBIT DRIVES.

Rabbits have multiplied so rapidly
throughout California that they have
become one of the most serious pests
Of the country, 1t is estimated that
three rabbits will eat as much as a
sheep, and that what can be killed in
a days rabbit drive will consume as
much alfalfa as a hundred beef cattle.
A good many schemes have been de-
vised for getting rid of the pests, but
the only eficacious one is the rabbit
drive. This is considered very good
field sport also, and a drive is always
participated in a much by those who
are after fun as by those who want
the rabbits killed. -. 80
The first thing in getting up a rab-
bit drive is to make a rabbit-proof cor
raj Of close, high palings, enclosing a
space about thirty by ten or twenty
yards. Leading into this at right. an
giles are two lines'o OF closely set palings,
a quarter of a mile in length. Several
hundred men on horseback and on
foot then surround a section or two of
land, and work slowly toward the or
raj WITH Shouts and beating of the
ground. At first but few rabbits Will
be seen, but as the drivers close in to-
ward the palings, the little frightened
beasts are as thick as sheep in a cor,
rail- They make frantic efforts to
escape, and in trying to break through
the heaters many are killed by the
clubs of the walkers. The drivers
close in slowly, and the rabbits are
gradually driven into the space par
TALLY enclosed by the pallings, and
from there it is easy to force them
into the corral. They troop in like
sheep, crowding W one another, and
filing the corral. The drivers on foot
follow, the corral is closed and the
slaughter begins. They r killed
with the clubs by striking them on
the head. The air is filled with their
shrill squaling, which can be heard a
mile away. They leap about in des
peration, jump high and dash them
selves against the fence, huddle in the
corners and try to hide behind one
another, or behind the heaps of those
already killed. The clubs whistle
through the air, not infrequently
striking the shins of the killers instead
of the heads of the rabbits, for it re-
quires a good aim, a steady arm and
no small amount of skill to guide
every stroke to it's destination on the
skull of a rabbit that is leaping about
like mad. IHEH# tI1# ~
When the slaughter is ended the
rabbits r. strewn w the ground as
thick as dead leaves, and in places
their carcases will be in piles two feet
high. Between 1900 and 1900 rab-
bits are usually killed in each drive,
and it is no uncommon thing for one
man to score a hundred dead rabbits
in one roundup. In parts most in
tested the drives are held once a week.

LAST WEEKS SALES,
fghe Boom Not Yet Departed From
Los Angeles.

. He hOOtan lNoh HEt Etp6EteU FROM
Los Angeles.
The abstract companies report that
there has been a decided improvement
in business during the past week or two,
and the employees of the Recorders
Office find that as the weeks go by their
work increases. The sales OF real estate
in Los Angeles must therefore show that
the slight dullness which has been said
to have prevailed is wearing off and must
be greater in the aggregate than they
were the week before. This, upon ex-
animation, is found to be the TACT.
For the week ending June 10th the
sales amounted to 5000 2S6, while for
the week just ended they aggregated
81 1925, ,349, or about twice as much. In
comparison with other cities it is also
found that Los Angeles still leads. The
activity OF the Kansas City real estate
market has been considerably talked
about, but on comparison it is found that
the sales there are something less than
one-third as great as they are here. The
figures below will give an idea OF the
business OF Los Angeles as compared to
that OF Kansas CITY:
