for labor, that will put money in
circulation. 1t. will also cause a
demand for raw materials, such as
wool, lead, copper, silver, and so
forth, This increased and increas
ing demand will cause higher prices
for all products. And that is
where we here will be benefited.
We will get better prices for lead
and silver, and will do better than
we have done during the past few
years. Wood River Times.

"Fas Doceri Alb Hoste" is a good
maxim-learn something from
your enemy. The Republicans did
not fuse with any party, They
maintained their party organization
intact, and the voters who went TO
them received no recognition from
the party. They come out of the
contest with no entangling alliance
TO disturb their future.

his Glasgow English only brought a

thought. By signs he bought a basket,
measure and berries of trim French
woman, and, shouldering his stock,
went along the street shouting: "Fine

sets, a bawbee the pine" The crowd
laughed at the mad Briton, but the fa-

How Sharp Drummer Got the Best Of q

Prom some Of the reports circulated
in the east" said German p. Tetnew, OF
Galveston, Tex, the other night, zone
is led 10 believe that the western, par
ticularly the far southwestern, citizen
is a pretty bad man, whose chief amuse-
ment and means Of gaining livelihood
consist OF highway robbery. But
think the finest piece of holding up
over heard of was accomplished by o
young New Yorker who travelled in our
state and Mexico for druggists fancy
articles manufactOry.
"Thisyoung man, he continued, twas
travelling in the state of Coahuila, Mex
leo, about two years ago and went one
night 10 Saltillo, the capital of the state.
1t was the first time he had been in the
town, and, after transacting little
business, he started out to see the
sights. AS he entered an isolated street
he was suddenly confronted by brig
andish-looking fellow, who, in glib
mongrel Spanish, demanded his valu-
ables, with accompanying gestures that
made his meaning perfectly ineligible
to the intended victim. The highway
man held in one hand long, sinister
looking knife and waved it about in a
suggestive manner which implied the
necessity of ready compliance with his
wishes or tragic result.
"But the salesman was man of quick
wit and ready resources. Instead of
handing over his property he thrust his
hand into his pocket, and moment
later the cold, shiny barrel Of what
seemed to be a revolver was pointed at
the wonld-be robbers head,
Excuse me- said the young man,
but this is my game
Naturally, the surprise caused by
the unexpected production of the sup
posed revolver produced a change in
the confident manner in which the rob-
Der had confronted the New Yorker,
and he started back, Instantly the
salesman knocked the knife from his
hand, stopped down, picked it up, took
the highwayman by the collar before he
could escape and marched him before
the police authorities. AT the prelim-
mary trial of the would-be robber the
following morning the guilt Of the pris-
oner was already established, and his
commitment was about to follow when
he asked II 1t were not an offense for
strangers in the country to carry con-
cealed weapons. He was told that it
was. Then he demanded the arrest Of
the young salesman, charging him with
carrying a revolver, The native JUS
tice asked the salesman il the charge
was true, This was admitted. He was
then asked If he still had the weapon
concealed on his person. The young
man said he had, but pleaded that its
possession had the night before pre-
vented q robbery and possibly murder.
He was informed that such circum-
stance did not alter the case and that he
had violated the law.
THE prisoner smiled sardonically on
beholding the tight place into which
the authorities were seemingly draw
ing the New Yorker, but his mirth

The old man is a great favorite on
Newspaper row; his only failing is that
he has asthma, which he has to drown
out occasionally. Last week he started
out to drown his hay fever on pay day.
When he left the Office he counted
among his possessions $25 his weeks
salary. Just what happened to him is
a mystery, because he never gained
consciousness until he woke up in the
station house the next morning. He
searched his pockets-they were emp
ty. Eight o'clock came and the sta
tionkeeper came to let him out. There
was no charge against him; he had
only been locked up to sleep it of. Sta
tionkeeper Collins called out Bob's
name, and then began to hand out
things that had been taken away from
him when he was locked up, Of which
Bob had no knowledge. First his
watch, then $3.50, half again as much
as Bob had when he started out then
a new suit of clothes, an umbrella, a
box of paper collars and basket Of
grapes. Bob is still wondering WHARF,
they came from. But he entertains the
highest opinions of the police depart
ment and the board of safety.-Louis-

QUEER HOSPITAL.
IL II Located in New York and 10 for

1t Il Located In New York and 10 for
Animals.
The animals hospital is in charge of
the New York College Of Veterinary
Surgeons, and that, II you please, Is
part Of the University of New York;
so that il you wanted to send your
dickey-b bird there for the pip, he would
be in a manner under the suffering
wing Of all the DDS and LII. DIS that
shine as regents Of that noble instist-
ton. A great deal Of the hospitals
most interesting practice is among the
animals kept in geological gardens or
in travelling shows. An old circus lion
was brought here not long ago to have
his liberated tooth pulled. Now If the
toothache makes you feel "cross as
bear" how cross does the toothache
make a live lion feel?
To tell the truth, no one at the hospl-
tai wanted to know how cross that lion
did feel-they thought it was a case in
which it would be folly to be wise.
The first thing to be done was to drop
VI lopC vi IiiO hooi VI hio Cas-,
and then draw them up when he put
his foot in one-he knew he had put
his foot in it" when he found himself
snared-and so, step by step, get him
bound and helpless. If you will think
how particularly hard it is to tie 10
a cat, you may guess that 1t is no joke
to make a lion fast; he Is just like
stupendous cat in his agility and slip
periness. The only way to render him
helpless is to get his hind quarter tied
up outside his cage, and his head
bound fast within it,; the next thing,
for dental work, is to put gag in his
mouth; that is the easier because there
is no trouble at all about getting him
to open his mouth-he does it every
time any one goes near him. When
medicine cannot be given disguised in
drink or food, it is usually squeezed
down the patients throat with sy-
ringe The horses are very good about
that operation, but the dogs are often
troublesome at first; but both dogs and
horses soon learn that they are with
friends, and then they are wonderfully
good and grateful even when the doc
tors have to hurt them.-Harper's

CATCHING A DEER'S TAIL.
1t Can BE Done but 1t Has Some Dis
advantages.

1t Can BE Done but 1t Has Some Dis
advantages.
The process of grabbing deer by the
tail is full of difficulty, but it is not to
be compared with hanging on after
| getting a grab on the tail, says the
Milwaukee SeKl Incl. The deer is wary.
The deer is fleet and the tail Is short,
but. In spite Of al! difficulty, a man who
is not over 100 feet from me as l write
caught young deer by the tail few
days ago and remained sort of tail
attachment for considerable distance.
The man was out in the forest on his
big farm and he espied a fawn at a
lick While he was looking at the little
spotted beauty it lay down beside log
and the hunter resolved to get the ami
NAL alive. He knew that if he could
get hold of one or both of the fawns
legs he would succeed. Luckily, the
cows of the farm appeared at that mo-
ment, on the way to the creek for
drink, and the fawn, evidently fire.
qucnter of the pasture, seemed to DE
unconcerned after quick glance at
the cows. Selling the opportunity, the
hunter, while the cows were coming and
cracking branches and sticks, stole up
to the log. A moment later the fawn
passed directly in front Of him and the
hunter made quick thrust of his arms
to catch the deer by the hind legs. He
partly succeeded, but in the struggle
that followed the delicate limbs of the
fawn began to slip out Of the wise Of
the human hands and, somehow or 9TH
er, in desperation, the man grabbed the
fawn's tail. The little animal began to
run and the hunter. who is a very
strong man, held desperately to the
tail. Down the old logging road they
went little way and then the fawn
turned in. 1t could not run very fast
with man attached to it's tail, but the
first quarter of mile was done in good
time, nevertheless. About the begin
ming of the second the fawn went over
a log and headed for a thicket. In
spite of all the little beauty reached
the brush and plunged in. The hunter
was scraped off and had the pleasure
of seeing the fawn join the mother on
the other side of the thicket and dart
off with her into the depths of the for
est
