Holland County Leader: No more tro- ting at Charter Oak Park, eh? And ju t because the legislators say that gamblers shall not be allowed to rob. Well, that makes us smile. It's regular school boy kind of revenge which. only revenges on the boy-a gun that only shoots back wards. And then, if horse trots will net pay on their merits, where is the argu- ment in their favor? Its entirely knocked out. They call horse trotting amusement. If, then, it is simply the amusement which the people want, how is the abolishing of gambling to take away from the people their desires The fact is, nearly every agricultural fair and horse trot in the state has been made worse than any gambling hell under a roof, and all honor to our legislators for s'sitting down. on it and to governor who unhesitatingly signs the bill. ts

 "I am."
 "And you are suing Mir. Train for ten feet of ground more than you own?"
 "But do own it. That's why l am suing for possession"
 "You think your lot extends ten feet east, on what MT. Train claims as his?"
 "Yes."

 ''Ever since had it surveyed, two years ago."
 "Why did you not bring suit for it sooner?"

 "Mr. Ferry, so late as last January, you laid no claim to this ten feet now in dispute!" .

muck Of the bureau of publicity and
promotion, has called down on his
head the deserved objurgations of a
good many country publishers lately.
A number OF letters we're received from
editors who wanted passes. They
were written in way that was regarded
as extremely funny by those in charge
of Handy's bureau and were given to
the Chicago reporters, who, as usual,
Only wrote up the country editor as a

matters and things were extremely

Pills andphysic have been thorough

in congress at the art institute.
Sportsmen will be greatly interested
in the display of game, fish and fur
bearing animals from the State OF
Washington. Some people have an
idea that Washington is composed of
arid prairie, high mountains and deep
gorges, but they may as we'll be pre-
pared to be astonished. They have
sent down elk, deer, lions, bears, goats,
wildcats, raccoons, lynx, grouse NAL
lard, teal. canvass back, pintails,
pheasants, wild geese, pelicans, quail
and so many other specimens that we
can't record them. As for salmon, no
other display is to be mentioned.
A sedatet man in shiny hat and
long tailed coat stepped airly up to a
son of the desert the other day and
said: "Gusss I'll take a little ride
with you, my friend" The heather s
camel knelt and the sedate man
mounted and threw himself into an un-
concerned. easy posture. But when
the camel bumped himself his attitude
suddenly changed. He had to use his
fingers and toes or fall off. Before they
had gone twenty feet he yelled "Stop
her." Before the camel got chance to
squat the sedate man slid to the ground
he was pale and held his head in his
hand. 81 won't try that again." he
said. "It's worse than sea sickness. "

THE DREAD scoURaR, CHOLERA.

Reports received at Constantinople last
week from several cities Of AsiAtic Tur.
key say that cholera had appeared in
many districts aud was spreading rapidly.
Along the Lower Tigris river people are
dying by the thousands. Whole villages
are deserted by those fleeing from the
scourge. The panic has become so great
that few families wait to bury their dead
or even to nurse the sick. but fee to the
next towns to escape infection. Fugitives
from the stricken towns are spreading
the disease with appalling rapidity. Let.
tiers receivsdii Conssantinople from Bas-
sora City say that 10000 persons have

Surgeon. General Wyman Of the Marine
Hospital service at Washington has re-
ceiyed dispatch from Mr.. Newberry,
U. s. Consul at Constantinopls, stating
that the cholera is rapidly spreading
westward toward the Mediterranean
ports.
The other day. in accordance with .
general request, the clergy Of Philadel.
phis prayed against the coming Of chol-
era. Cue Of them, however-Rey. d..
O'Connell--refused to pray, and gave -
reason for his refusal that the city
authorities are doing nothing toward
cleaning the town. The reverend gen.
tleman says: "If the cholera makes
havoc among US it will be because our
streets are dirty. our water is impure.
and our drainage is filthy" He
evidently doesn't believe in having the
Lord blamed for everything, . very CON-
mon practice with some pious people.

A Shower OF Black. Poisonous Rain.
Philadelphia Press.
The meteorological records of the
world chronicle several incontestable
instances of black rainfalls, to say
nothing of the more startling phe-
nomena of showers of blood, blue
SHOWS" etc. Prof. Barker, in April,
1915, laid before the Royal Society of
Dublin some observations on shower
of black rain, which fell around Car
law and Kilkenny, extending alto
gether over an area of about 400
square miles.
During the course of his lecture
Prof. Barker exhibited to the society
q specimen of this uncanny shower
which had been sent him by friend.
The specimen shown in the vial was
of a uniform black color, much resem-
bling common black writing fluid.
DR.. Barker, found, however, that af'
ter allowing it to stand for q short
period the black cOloring matter sep
arated from the water with which 1t
had mixed, rendering the color of
the rain water much lighter but still
dark enough to'be called black rain.
The shower, which was in broad
daylight, was pTeceueu ny uaIh-
ness so dense as to make it impossi-
BILE for one to read without the aid of
candle. After this darkness had
con tinued for some time hail storm
set in, attended with vivid lightning,
but without the least mblance to
thunder. When this hailstorm was
over the black rain began to fall.
On examination of the rain immedi.
ately after the storm was over 1t was
| found to- have an extremely tetid
smell, as well as very disagreeable
taste. All light.oolored animals and
all articles of clothing exposed bore
dark spots and stains, and cattle re-
| fused to drink the water or eat the
grass until after o shower of real
rain" had washed off the black, poi-
sonous matter.
