WHAT CAN | Do

To be curedl do want to be a
strong man once more. The answer
is, Consult the Hudson Medical Doc

which is the same. Tell the doctors
just how you feel, do all you can to
help them, and if the great remedy
treatment HUDYAN is good for you
the doctors will allow you to have 1t.
Just 10000 men claim to have been
cured with HUDYAN. Can they be
10000 fools or worse1 DR.. johnson
says what all believe to be true must
be true. Well, if it is true that HUD-

To HeID the Cubans.

The cowboy rangers are after the
Spani ards. They are actuated by a
patriotism inherited from the fathers
of Texas who fought for liberty from a
yoke OF the character that is now op-
press ng the Gu BANS, says the Post.
The company is composed of about
eighty men. Yearly every one of W HON
is native Texan and they feel that
they can do nothing better than offer
their services and arms to the patriots.
This was the decision reached at a
meeting held last night, on which the
following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, there now exists a war
between the patriots of the isle of
Cuba and Spain, in which the Cubans
are heroically struggling against great
odds to wrest their island from the
tyrannical rule of the SIP 4niards: and,
Whereas, We believe it is right that
the Cubans should rule and control
Cuba: and,
Whereas, We. as Texans, are imbued
with the same spirit for free govern
ment that inspired the heroes of Texas
to wrest from Mexico the Lone Star
State and offered up their lives on the
altar of liberty at the Alamo and San
JacintO, baptised the soil of Texas with
their patriotic blood, that freemen
should rule aud despOts should die:
now, be it
Resolved, That we, the Cowboy Ran
gers of Houston, Texas, in meeting as
sembled, tender our services as a
company to the Cuban junta to go at
their call to Cuba, and fight for Cuban
Independence. All we ask is transpor-
tation ard to be assigned place in the
ranks and we will do the rest.
Captain Perkins said: eff our offer
is accepted | can carry battalion of
800 men to the island. We mean bust

and when the job is finished we will re-

leave San Francisco for the east some

he will in all probability be matched

Gossip for Cyclists.

Racing will be a lively g sme in the
east this year. Baseball has lost much
of its popularity about the Metropoli-
tan district and wheeling is all the
rage. Golf is also coming up with a
boom. One and possibly two more new
tracks will be located about New York
this year. All the clubs are arranging
for meets and several Of them will run
two or three meets during the season.
The New York State Circuit will fur
nieh some excellent sport.
The wheelwomau is settling for her.
self what she shall wear when she goes
out on the wheel. Throughout the
country the short skirt and go.f stock
iDgs are favOrits S. Boomers are worn
unC ernealh. Some of the former
blCOmer fanatics, seeing that their
ideas would not be adapted, have taken
another turn. Many are riding the
diamond framed wheel in short skirts
and wooden tights. The divided skirt
is also popular, and properly made it
can be used on either the drop or the
dia mond frame.
Cyclists have been 10 for % ed from til 9
to Llme of severe tests on pneumat C
tires but it is doubted if any make ever
withstood such crucial trial as has
just been reported of GER
tain make of single tube
This tire was attached to a wheel to
the axle of which $50 pounds was sus-
pended. 1t was then run over a rough
wooden drum at the rate of a f, action
less than 30 miles an hour for los
hours, representing total of 3, 129
miles. During that time the tire had
to be pumped up once and except for
wear in several places was as good as
new after the test.
The authorities in New York City
are beginning to talk seriously about
what they are to do with the cyclists.
They are fairly overruu ming the streets
of the Metropolis and the lack of
proper facilities for getting to the good
Long Island and in New Jersey is caus-
ing the wheelmen to howl in indigna-
ton. The best way out of the difficulty
is for the authorities to go back to the
aqueduct plan suggested year ago.
Arthur Augustus Zimmerman will
head a rae ing team hims elf this season
and the tire competition will receive a
boom on that account. There will be
three tires represented in the COMPETE
ton OF the season, one with Bald,
Cooper, Michael and a small army as
representatives; another with Kiser,
Mertens, Mcdonald, Titus, Oldfeld
and others, and still a third with Zim-
norman and a team of a half-dozen
men. The Zimmerman team will. as
it is reported, be under the active man
agement of Will Young, who will have
a number of pace making machines
with which 10 pull zimmerman along
in the exhibitions for which he has
arranged. The ''Skeetur" made his
debut at the race meet at Newark
Decoration day, and he will follow the
New York and probably the national
circuit. A new phase of the return
amour cement of Zimmerman devel-
oped within the past few days. Zim-
norman stated to Ray Eaton that he
would race this season and his friends
exoect him to appear in competitor
within few weeks.

The era Of cheap telephone con

many towns in which the erstwhile
monopoly is not enfranchised, they
have now very popular rates. With
in the next five years, telephone
rates will go lower and lower, and
the consequence will be that not only

AN IMMENSE OCTOPUS.
Was Twenty Feet Long-Too Big to
Preserve.

Preserve.
A letter from Augustine, Fla, is
published in the American Journal
of Science, which tells of the body
of IAN immense octopus thrown
ashore some miles south Of that city.
Nothing but the stump OF the ten
tacles remained, as it had evidently
been dead for some time before be-
ing washed ashore. The body meas
ured 10 feet in length by ten feet in
breadth. It's immense size and con-
dition prevented all attempts at
preservation. Prof A. E. Verrill
says that the proportions given in
dictate that this may have been a
squid-like form and not an octopus.
The breadth" is evidently that of
the softened and collapsed body, and
would represent an actual maximum
diameter in life of at least seven
feet, and probable weight of four
to five tons for the body and head.
These dimensions are decidedly
larger than those of any of the we'll
authen ticated Newfoundland speci-
mems. 1t is perhaps a species Of

corded many years ago species of
