will appeal to the west and northwest,

1t will be gratifying to the majority
OF the Republicans to have Mr.. Allison
come out into the open and take pos
tive stand on this subject Heretofore
the Iowa senator has been regarded as
an unknown quantity. Like the
small boy who got his trousers trans
posed, his friends could not tell
whether he was going to school or
coming home.

Race Of Bovlnes That Excite Great
Curiosity Among Travellers.
One OF the greatest curiosities among
the domesticated animals OF Ceylon is
a breed of cattle known to the biologists
as the Sacred running oxen" They
are the dwarfs OF the whole OK family,
the largest specimens Of the species
never exceeding 30 inches in height.

ing and believed to be somewhere near
10 years Of age is only % inches high

the country with express matter and
other light loads and It Is said that
four OF them can pull driver Of a two

Island of Ceylon and in other Buddhistic
countries for more than a thousand
years. One story told to account for
! their origin Is to the effect that they
were originally cattle of the ordinary
height and bulk; that a Buddbistic
priest was once imprisoned In a stone
building, one-half Of which was used
for a cattle stable During the night
he managed to dlslodge one OF the
stones in his prison wall. The stone
In question was exactly two and half
feet square.
II was almost daylight when this
apostle of Buddha felt the air rush
through the opening he had made and
realized that he was all but free. He
knew that he would be unable to get
out Of the enemy's country on foot, SC
he prayed that he might be provided
with a beast OF burden that would safe
ly carry him to the homes OF the follow
ers OF Buddha. No sooner had he done
this than one Of the large oxen which
had been quietly feeding in stall al
his side walked leisurely to the 30-inct
square opening and miraculously passed
through Il. The priest followed and
mounted the now sacredly dwarfet
beast and was soon safe in his owl
country. Since that time, so the story
goes there has been a breed OF sacred
running oxen" In Ceylon. 'Fhich neve

official co unit shows that the Demo

the one polled by Grover Cleveland in

ll,499 votes less this year than they
did in 1892, while the Republicans
polled c,995 more votes than they did
