TRAINING OF ANIMALS.
Only Accomplished, 1t Is Said, by the
Use of the Whip.

Only Accomplished, 1t Is Said, by the
Use of the Whip.
The popular theory that animals can
be taught tricks by firmneSs and kind
ness is :. grim error, according to vet
eran circus man who has sent forth
the dictum that no animal was ever
trained TO do anything unnatural ex-
cept by punishment. If it knows hun
ger or pain will follow disobedience, it
will obey.
1t takes the whip to break the colt to
harness or saddle, but the end justifies
the means, and the animals intelli-
gence when once it has learned its les
son does away with further use of the
whip. But if Il horse is taught tricks,
such as one sees in Il circus, the con-
slant use of the whip is necessary,
and the little pat oil the neck the train
er gives the animal in public is not be-
slowed in private. There is never any
let up in their training.
Trained dogs always appeal to wOm-
en- and children. for the little animals
appear TO thoroughly enjoy their work.
But the barking and frisking are only
the natural joy of the poor beasts at
| being let out of the cramped quarters
where they stay when they are not in
the ring Moreover. they know the
trainer does not whip them in public.
| There is scarcely Il trick 4 trained dog
| does that he likes or that he will do ut
order unless punished. Willis Cobb
was the first dog trainer to make a
reputation, and when he was middle
aged he abandoned his profession be-
cause. he said, he had not the heart TO
go on making Il living by whipping
dogs.-Cleveland World.

one of the queerest industries has
grown up on the Hackensack meadows,
an otherwise apparently useless bog
unon which it is unsafe for man or
beast to venture. In the summer GER
tain parts of the meadows are covered
with a dense growth of cattails. They
grow particularly rank and large.
Sometimes the tail. or furry part, is a
foot or more long and thick in proper
ton. The light, furry down is long

The Boer Euvcvs.

The plans of campaign of the Boer
peace commissioners are not yet fully
outlined. They will probably remain
in Washington until Tuesday, after
which they will begin a tour of the
west, as has been previously init
mated. The delegates are not yet
decided whether or not they will
issue an official statement before
leaving Washington. They feel that
under the circumstances this would
be a delicate undertaking and no
matter how carefully it was worded,
would be liable to misconstruction
Therefore it is quite probable their
statements will be confined to what.
ever address they may make at the
pro- Eoer meetings, which are being
arranged for the coming tour of the
country.

POLICE CHASING THE LOAFERs
Must Explain How They Live With
out Working,

And now it is the street vagabonds
and lifelong loafers are having their
inning with the mayor and explaining
to him how they manage to live the
year through without working.
The harvest of vags has begun and
the police are thus kept busy.
Americas, like every other town, has
a class that never work and never will.
From January until December they
lounge on street corners, and the
wonder of everyone is how they get
three meals day.
This has also excited the curiosity
of Mayor Hixon, and he is going to
find out or know the reason why.
Hence the recent official ukase issued.
And it caused CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the Coxeyites here.
Chief Wheeler and the police officers
issued summons to number of the
street corner ornaments yesterday,
the old and young, though the lat
ter predominated to very consid-
cradle extent.
"Hunt job or crack rock for the
city" is the order that will be enforced.

CLAIM SHORTAGE IN ACCOUNT.
Grocery Firm Has Travelling Man
Put Under Arrest.

An alleged discrepancy of several
hundred dollars has caused the deten-
ton of Mr.. E. L. Heys, formerly the
travelling representative of the Whitley
Grocery Co. of Americus, by an officer
of Webster county. A day or two ago
the Whitley Grocery Co. had warrants
issued for Mr.. Heys, alleging that a
considerable sum collected by him from
customers in Webster county has not
been accounted for satisfactorily. Mr..
Heys came here yesterday with the Of
ficer for the purpose of consulting his at
torney, returning to Webster county in
the afternoon. It is understood that a
committal trial will be had at Preston
today. It is said that Mr.. Heys denies
that there is any shortage in his ac-
counts, and, it is understood, asserts
that he has not been given due credit
for all his collections, made while
travelling for the Whitley Grocery Co.
On the other hand Mr.. @. r. Whitley,
president of the plaintiff company, as
serts positively that the discrepancies
do exist as charged in the warrants.
Friends of both parties hope the diff
ferences existing may be satisfac-
torily adjusted.

HAVE TROUBLE WITH CURLING.
Some Property Owners on College are
Directing.

The holy calm which hitherto has
pervaded the classic precincts of Col
Iege street anent the curbing of that
fashionable thor oughfare has received
an unexpected shock quite recently.
One or two residents haye filed objec-
tions, based upon the claim that their
front property will be damaged in the
new fence alignment, and the pro-
ceedings have been brought to a halt
with suddenness that rudely Jared
that section of the metropolis. Mayor
Hixon said yesterday that the placing
of the curbing would proceed, from
which it is supposed that all rufies
have been pressed out and peace again
reigns in Warsaw.

SUCCESS Is ALWAYS ASSURED
Where Business Methods are Followed
by Business Men.

Every person who has a store, an
Office or other place of business, and
who considers painted sign over his
door necessary, can increase the num-
Der of his patrons by newspaper ad-
vertising. An immense proportion of
the people look at the newspapers for
information as to where they can get
what they want-a fact which should
furnish business men with a strong
motive for advertising. The success
full merchant would as soon think of
taking down his signs as leaving out
his lads" which is proof that they pay
for themselves. From business point
of view the only valid excuse for a
failure to advertise is that which pre-
vents an establishment from carrying
an adequate stock-a lack of capital.

STEEL BRIDGE FOR MUCKALEE.
County Commissioners to Build One
Here Shortly.

A handsome and substantial steel or
iron bridge is to be erected by the
county commissioners of Sumter oyer
Muckalee creek, taking the place of
the wooden bridge at Guerry's, one
and half miles from the city. The
road force is building long and sub
stantial turnpike on the west side of
the bridge, and as the old wooden
structure is not IN the best condition
the county commissioners have prac-
tically decided to replace it with sub
stantial iron or steel bridge. It will
indeed be a great improvement and
one long needed.

ADMIRAL Kempff was censured by
the Naval authorities at Washington,
bec ause he did not take part in the at
tack upon the Chinese forts, there. His
opinion was, that this would only
strengthen the Boxers against the I'm
periaL Government, G which was trying
to preserve it's relations with Foreign
Governments. Developments have since
proven that Admiral Kempff showed
more craftsmanship than all the repre-
sentatives of the combined foreign
powers, and that the naval officers at
Washington are now ''falling over one
another" in their desire to do honor to
the Admiral. More than this, it now
develops that Admiral Kempff saw the
growing demonstration of the Boxers,
and warned the foreign powers, in
time, that they should send force large
enough to take Peking and save the
Imperial Government, but his advice
was not needed. The. Admiral is a
statesman and diplomat, as well as a
gallant sailor, and our Government
should send him vote of thanks on q
golden salver. A man who knows the
right thing to do, and dares to maintain
his position in the face of great opposi.
tion, Is the man we want to tie to.
