One sporting man told a story about
good-natured race horses and another had
spun yarn of uncertain horses, including
few anecdotes of that tickle old campaign

that no one had said anything about vi

or two he had known in his time.

member, of course, the famous duel be-
tween Ludwig and Dave Gideon's Ramapo
several years ago, in which the animals
came pretty near to chewing each other to
pieces. Well, this Ludwig was the toughest
animal that I ever saw. He would take a
chance at anything. and once he got grip

to go down to Long Branch to see him.

earned such a reputation for himself that
he ought to have hts picture painted. So
he sends for Henry Stull, the horse painter,
and gave him a commission to go ahead.
Stull went down to Long Branch and into
the stable. One Of the grooms told him to
be careful or Ludwig would bite him, but
Stull said he thought he could soothe the
animal, and proceeded to do 1t by the use of
soft words, Ludwig meantime being in a
box stall, with only his head extending
from the top. He could wag his head pretty
freely, though. and Stull was trying to
make friends with him by patting his nose

The MISSION orDemocracs

r. N. Field in the Chicago Post: Com
rade Altgeld, always prudent. conserya-
tive and far sighted. is right when he de-
clares that we must trust to the ultimate
triumph Of justice and that it is better
to 90 down fishing for our GLORIOUS
principles" under Bryan, "the idol Of the
people, than to repudiate them and win.
This is hot stuff for cold day. Let us
stick by our idol. who manifests every
disposition to stick 10 us. Why should
we treacherously turn to Cleveland and
Carlisle and Whitney and Hewitt and
other notorious emissaries OF Wall street
and win when we can remain loyal to
Altgeld and Bryan and keep on glorious
5ly going down? The mission of our be-
loved Democratic party is not to win
political battles, but to embrace an idol
and 60 down. How much5longer we can
keep on going down we are unable to
say, but it would appear that the bottom
must be reached sooner or later. It is q
grave mistake to suppose that the Dem
ocratic party cares anything about sue
cess at the polls; 1t would rather get hold
Of an old, frayed, bedraggled, decayed
piece Of dead issue and chew on it for
half century than win the loyeliest
victory Of the age. The deader the issue
the more glorious the principle. We
thank Comrade Altgeld for SO clearly
reminding US Of our duty, and we shall
take up our idol with renewed courage.
This idol OF ours. by the way, is becom-
ing uncommonly heavy, and the only
thing that saves us is that our journey is
consistently dcWnhill.

Official Paper Of the citr and County

Most newspaper men are familiar with
the man who "takes more papers than he
can read" and consequently has no use
for his local paper. He takes q paper
published at Augusta, Maine, which con-
taiEs all the news about The Smuggler's
Last Cruise" "The Bandit King" big
Moose in Dead Gulch,'' etc. While he is
storing his mind with such valuable in
formation, bis wife is reading an al
manac. But that man gets into trouble,
and he rushes to the local paper to get
him out. II relative dies, he wants q
column obituary, yet he "takes 80 many
papers" that he cannot subscribe for his
local paper. THIS Is the man who wants
a ftteen-line "puff, ," just ito fill up.
We think the ABOVE tloater contains as
much solid truth as it is possible to put
into seventeen line paragraph. II
there is one thing above another that
will cause the average editor very
loud smile, it is the specimen who is
always running to the country print
shop with column article OF some dry,
unheard OF subject "just to flll up" The
struggle in country newspaper Office
is not to find matter OF live interest to
print, but rather to fjnd space and time
in which to print small part OF the
ocean of stuff available.

More thought and expense than ever

exclusively. The central figure Of the
Calendar is an ideal portrait OF Puritan
maiden Of Plymouth, and the Is colors
in which the Calendar is Autographed
reproduce the delicate colorinp Of the

After the usefulness of the calendar is
past, the portrait of Priscilla can be cut

ceiye, in addition to the 90 issues Of the

Passing of the nelgian Hare

IdS6luS Oh INC IAN AAfc.
Turf, Field and Farm: The Belgian
hare fad is over in Oregon and California.
The San Diego Sun states that these
much-boomed rabbits, owning to their
wonderful fecundity, can hardly be given
away in Los Angeles:
1t is the same here in San Diego. Al
ready many breeders are preparing to
turn their rabbits loose on the country,
as they cannot sell them at any price,
and the fear has become general that If
this is done the country will be literally
oyerrun within five years. Supervisor
Griffin reported that one woman near
Enclnita has 800 which she intends to
liberate, and several other ex tmples were
given. 1t appears that the favorite food
Of the Belgian hare Is the tender bark OF
young fruit trees, and if tho hares are
not exterminated the youag fruit trees
will be. The supervisors, therefore,
passed an ordinance compelling all own
ers OF Belgian hares to keep the animals
strictly confined, fixing the penalty for
turning them loose at not less than $20
nor more than 300.
The boomers are now at work in States
east Of the Rocky Mountai,fs, but their
success is not marked. 1t is not so easy
to humbug people in this direction as it
was one year or more ago.

Macon, Ga, Telegraph: From one

Not only this, but James K. Jones is At
subject for home for the feeble minded.
He kept claiming the election of Bryan
in 1898 until the inauguration the fol-
lowing spring. At last accounts he was
declaring that he did not know how the
election this year had gone. The fatal
error OF committing great party to a
dogma OF finance discredited by all civil
lized peoples was followed up by booting
out men like Bayard, Carlisle, Wilson,
Olney and Turner, and substituting
Jones. Stone, Altgeld, Weaver and
Croker-a motley aggregation Of incom-
petents and moral idiots.

more About the Corn STAIRS.

W. B. Bruner. q farmer living near
Lynch, Neb., recently gave to the Sioux
City Journal unique prescription for
the treatment Of cattle which become
affected as a result Of eating corn stalks.
Two Of MIR. Bruuer's COWS had recently
been taken sick Immediately after feed
ing in the corn stalks. Without expect
ing to do any particular good, and as a
sort OF, experiment, Mr.. Bruner took four
quarts Of coal oil. two quarts of which he
poured down each animals throat. Then
be took two cups of turpentine and pour
ed a cup Of that down the throat Of each
COW. Shortly after that he goJ two
dozen eggs and beat them all up in a
bunch, giving half to one COW and half
to the other. Then, as a last course, he
gave each animal some linseed oil to act
as a physic. Then he went to bed, ex-
pecting to find the animals dead in the
morning. But Mr.. Bruner says that
much to his surprise when he rose in
the morning, he found both animals
alive and apparently as well as ever.
One W. H. Bennett OF Morningside,
Sioux City, writes the GRAPHIC in sab
stance as follows:
II see by an extract from the GRAPHIC
that the farmers in your locality are
losing a good many cattle from eating
corn stalks. have never yet heard q
cure, but why should we look for a cure
when the trouble can be prevented. I
have been farmer all my life, and have
raised great many head Of cattle. I
used to lose stock right along from run
ming in the corn fields. Twenty. five
years ago had two fields Of corn, in cne
of which planted pumpkins with the
corn, calculating to feed them to the
hoga. Before the crop matured, lost
tie hogs, SO did not gather the pumpkins.
In the fall, whenever / turned my herd
into the field without pumpkins, lost
cattle; and when I turned them into the
pumpkin field I did not. Ever since
then have always planted pumpkins
with the corn. and have meyer lost any
cattle from the stalks. My neighbors
afterwards took it up, and have never
known OF their losing any stock when
this plan was followed, You can raise
1 just as much corn that way, and it adds
that much to- the feed.'
After all has been said, however, the
i |GEAPHIC sticks to what has often beer
reiterated in these columns, !. e., there
ts only one absolutely safe way out 81
the difficulty. and that is to keep th,
cattle out OF the stalks entirely.
