his camera will back him up when boast
ing of his piscatorial prowess One pilot o
seen recently represented a huge fish the
length of which appeared to equal that of
a two foot rule which was also shown. In
reality the take" was little carp, and
while being photographed it had been
held very close to the lens. The rule
of course was taken some distance away.

Tn. Hor..le.. vehicle Contest.

Electricians are studying with q great
deal of interest and doubt their chances
in the horseless vehicle contest that the
Chicago Times Uerald has organized, to
take place next November between Chi
cago and Milwaukee, distance Of
about eighty-five miles, with two relay
stations, one at Kenosha, Wisconsin,
and one at Waukegan, Illinois, where
renewal Of power IN permitted. Already,
says the Evening Post. over seventy-fve
entries have been made for this race,
but 1t Is said that the electrical compet-
itors are comparatively few. The main
reason for the lack Of prominence Of
electricity Is that the batteries hitherto
In use and on the market have been al
together too heavy and have had too
limited storage capacity. Hence, with
the increase in strength OF the frame to
bear the burden has come further
drain on the insufficient power, and no
body seems able to reconcile these quail
tiles. Yet another reason for the ab-
sence Of electrical carriages is the rare
ness of charging stations, although the
condition In this respect Is steadily i'm
proving all the time. 1t is believed by
electricians that not many years will
pass before trolley systems penetrating
into the rural districts will allow their
circuits to be tapped for lines to run over
roads In such way that any cart can
hitch on by It's trolley pole and get all
the current 1t needs.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

The Value of Trees.

How. many farmers and others. too.
whose places are destitute Of fruit and
shade trees. Again. how many rented
places are devoid of trees of all kinds.
Has the landowner ever stopped to
consider that a small orchard. q few
yard trees around every tenement
house will greatly enhance the value,
attract and hold better class Of ten
ants, make life more enjoyable and
that too at practically no cost? We tell
you there is great deal of seldshness
when we look abroad and see how
stingy and selfish many are with their
tenants. and oftentimes perchance some
good farmer rents his farm and moves
away and is so selfish as to reserve all,
yes. all the fruit produced, denying even
this to his tenant. Landowners owe
their tenants and the public generally. a
duty by planting at least moderate
quantity OF trees. This is wise pub
lie policy.-Ornamental Tree Growing.

Maskes on the Streets Of Denver-Ths
Fireman's Parade.
Denver, Oct. 1S.-The powers that be
let down the bars of strict propriety at
noon to-day. Masking was the order
of the day and the privilege was taken
advantage Of by many men and women
whose bump Of humor is highly devel-
oped.
Some of the costumes were especially
amusing. and the practical jokes played
seemed to highly entertain the onlook-
ers. AT one place on Sixteenth street
considerable merriment was caused
by an attenuated individual represent
ing farmer who had a little bunch Of
whiskers Of the most approved sort.
The whiskers got him into trouble. On
one occasion they were violently seized
by a war-painted Indian, who was only
prevented from hanging them to his
belt as a trophy of the day by Harle-
quin friend Of the alleged hayseed.
The De Pudding Sisters, Rice, Tapioca

and while the hooded figures were COL.

furious while 1t lasted.

seemed to be a favorite with a great

several novelties in the way of "maka.
ups" that astonished both the natives
and the visitors. The maskers carrie q

corners for the benefit OF the pedestrian. .s
and were. on the whcle. orderly ard

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the. pure liquid

beneficial properties of perfect lax
