OIL FOR TROUBLED WHISKY.

It was after the fourth round of

across the room and, pulling a small

boisterous companions and they de-

ENGLISH TELEPHONE SERVICE

ate.

In the matter of telephones England
is probably worse served than any civ
ilized country in the world, says the
National Review. Switzerland or
Sweden can give her points. A tele-
phone monopoly was created, which
has worked badly. Quarrels of all kinds
with the local authorities have arisen
as to way leaves.

DOGS AS DETECTIVES.
Use If Blnodhounds in Tracking
Criminals Growing in Favor.
Many Indiana Towns Now PoSsess
Kennels In Connection with Their
Police Servtce-GOod Re-
suits Obtaine

Hunting criminals by the use of
bloodhounds in many Of the smaller
cities and towns of Indiana has caused
wise. During the slavery days in the
south bloodhounds were kept on many
plantations to run down fugitive slaves,
and their vicious attacks became q
theme of discussion throughout the
land. Since the emancipation OF the
slaves the breeding OF bloodhounds has
been much less and the champions OF
this breed of dogs are not numerous.
The city of Seymour, in Indiana, has
gained the sobriquet of "bloodhound
town" on account of its many kennels
of dogs to trail criminals. That city
was the first in Indiana to engage in
this peculiar industry. Its success was
so great, however, that other towns
caught the fever, and the animals are
now bred in Winslow, Churubusco and
in different localities of Noble, Pike,
Gibson, Marion and other counties.
Indiana has hundreds of kennels and
many cities and towns have purchased
They are always kept in readiness for
pursuing offenders when necessary and
the people in many of these towns en-
joy greater degree of safety than
heretofore.
The commissioners of Noble county
have invested in pair of the dogs and
appointed an official dogkeeper, who
looks after them and keeps them like
fire department, always ready to
take the chase.
This department of police protection
has its supporters in various towns, and
the dogs are regarded as an excellent
| investment by some, while others con-
denim the action of their officials and
question the ability of the dogs to To-
cate criminals.
The ability of the dogs is always
much better in the country districts,
and many cases of the successful cap
ture of murderers, robbers and other
criminals through this agency have
| been recorded in the annals of the
state.
In the thickly populated districts, as
well as in the cities, the most sagacious
| bloodhounds are frequently baffled and
unable to follow the trail for any con-
siderable distance on account of the
constant travel around and over it.
| They have often done much to aid the
police departments of the larger cities,
however, and, if given the trail as quick
| ly as possible, and without too much
publicity, they are able, in nearly every
case, to accomplish almost impossible
results.

PHOTOGRAPHIC A BATTLE.
The Ircessant whistle of Bullets IL
Not Exactly Conducive to
Good Work.

Many people have had ideas of pho.
tographing battle. A photograph of
Modder river would reveal othing but
bare stretch of veldt with a line of
willows and poplars in the background.
Not a Boer could be seen, and even our
own men were almost invisible as they
lay there in sand-colored khaki, keeping
aliberal five PAGES apart-only here and
there where a slight undulation gave a
precarious cover could one see the
khaki backs clustered together like a
swarm of locusts on the plain, says
Scribner's.
Personally, having been fortunate
enough to find a small ant-hill for my
head protection, | endeavored to take
few snapshots with kodak, not be-
cause there was anything to take, but
in order to give some idea of the bare
aspect of a modern battlefield, but
am free to confess that to let go the
shutter and still keep ones head be-
hind an ant-heap proved so difficult an
operation that it was pure matter of
chance whether | photographed the
yeldt or the SKY.
The incessant whistle of bullets is
not good for photography, though, GU
riously enough, it encourages sleep.
Many men dozed off that morning I'M
der the rays of a particularly insistent
sun, only to be awakened by the
bursting of big shell or the repeated
reports of most disagreeable quick
firing gun employed by the enemy with
equal impartiality against our firing
line and our hospital wagons.
All the morning the one cheering
note was the incessant reports of our
own field pieces and naval guns. Early
in the day the two field batteries had
moved round from our extreme right
and came up in the center just little
to the east of the railway and did most
magnificent work.

THE ELECTRIC FAN.
1t Has q Promising Outlook for the
Future in the Lands beyond
the Seas.

The fan-motor is peculiarly Amer
lean invention. 1t made its appear
ance upon the scene about II years
ago and met with immediate and
hearty approval. During the few
years of its history it has been rapid
ly improved and has now reached a
state of high perfection, says the
Electrical Review.
Certainly the man who first
thought of making a little breeze
machine was a public benefactor.
The amount of discomfort that has
been relieved by the familiar whiz-
zing fan is almost incalculable and
there oan be no doubt that it has
really prolonged and doubtless saved
many lives. 1t is strange that in
ceuntries where the climate is more
oppressive in the summer months
than it is even in the United States
there should not be more wide
sprea' use of these fans. The new
eastern possessions of the United
States and the vast area beyond
should open a large market to Amer
lean manufacturers of such goods
The punkah has been in use in India
from time immemorial, but it's days

MISSIONS FOR PORTO RICO
MethOdfsts Follow Other DenOmi ma
tiOns In Taking Up Work
In Island.

Rev. DR.. C.. w. Dress, a missionary
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
has sailed for Porto Rico to establish
the work of missions of his denomi-
nation in the island. The doctor has
had wide experience in missionary
labors among Spanish-speaking peo-
pie, having served for 13 years each
as superintendent of the Methodist
Episcopal missions in Mexico and
South America, travelling and preach
ing in all sections of the latter coun-
try but Venezuela and the Guianas.
This will be the initiative work of
the Methodist church in the island.
At the time of the American invasion
the Anglican Episcopalians had n
church in Ponce, which, however, had
been closed for two years. With this
beginning the Episcopal church was
the first of the Protestant dcnomina-
ton to follow in the wake of Ameri-
can occupation and establish mission

land.
Since then the Presby terian and
Baptists have organized and estab

the missionaries sent to this post

at work and have bought church prop

KING OF FOX HUNTERS.
One of His Greatest Rides Made when
He Was Thirty-One Years
of Age.

A fox hunter at SO years of age-a
fox hunter for more than three score
years and ten-Brisuin Skies has. in
deed well earned the I. rht to the title
"the king of fox hunters" says the
Philadelphia Times. He loves the chase
to-day as much as he did 70 years ago,
when as boy OF ten he followed
hounds and fox il is first hunt. He
has probably participated in more fox
chases than any living man in America.
1.-THE king of fox hunters" lives at
Gap, Lancaster county, not great
One of his most remarkable rides was
made when he was 81 years of age.
There were 60 hounds and 30 riders
in the hunt. When liberated. the fox
took a course 10 the northward for four
miles, then doubled to southwark for
five miles, then westward, giving
hounds. horses and riders a chase OF
nearly II miles before he was cap
tured.
Over fence, hedge and ditch the old
man, on his fine hunter, kept at the
heels of the hounds, and was up with
the quarry when seized by the first
dog. The hunters participating were
unanimous in declaring it one of the
greatest rides in the history of Penn

the age of the man who was first lin

THE pRoDIGY's PoLITENESs.
He Spelled the Word So the Preacher
wouldn't Understand What He
Called Him.

A Baptist church on the East side in.
cludes among its membership devout
family consisting of father, mother
and precocious cherub of six, says
the Kansas City Star. The pastor has
!, the usual weakness for chickens, and
SO has the eherub. In the early part of
the week the pastor was invited to dine.
The pride of the family had been Prop
erly coached for the event, End more
attention than usual had been paid to
his spelling. He had mastered any
number of words of three letters, but it
il was still safe for mother and father to
spell out the words of two or more syl-
tables which they did not wish him to
understand.
1t was: ''When you go down town
purchase some candy" from moth
er, and father was always saying:
"Get some bananas this morning
The pride of the household had learned
that whenever you want to use word
in anyone's presence that you do not
wish him to understand it ought to be
spelled out.
There was chicken for dinner when
the pastor came to dine, and he showed
his appreciation by requesting two
helpings. Only one piece remained
and the cherub in the family had not
been satisfied. 1t was the father who
said:
"Mr. -, let me give you another
piece of chicken"
The pastor, with show of reluc'
tance, passed his plate, and the pride
of the family addressed his mother:
mamma. don't you think the preacher
is p-i-g?"

RICHELIEU's CLEVER STROKE.

One of the cleverest strokes Riche- lieu ever made was the securing of the dismissal of Wallenstein from the inn perial army. Stephen Crane writes in the August New Lippincott. It seems a remarkable piece of craft, at the very moment when Wallenst5in's army had brought glorious victory to the emper- or, and when Gustave, absolute master of his military operations, was advan- cing on German soil, to deprive tn inn perial armies of the only leader whose abilities could stand against the tall ents of Gustavus. To be sure. there was great dissatisfaction with Wallen- stein among the Catholic league on ac- count of his personal pretentions. but this of itself would not have brought about his downfall The only effectual voice to influence Ferdinand was the voice of a priest. His own confessor wrote of Ferdinand:
 Nothing on earth was more sacred to him than a sacerdotal head. If it should happen, he often said, that he

 values will treble and this will become the most desirable ag- ricultural region on earth. In the face of these facts the charges of bond boodiing'' attest to the asininity of the men who make them. The capitalists who would sub scribe over two million dollars to build a reservoir would hardly consider the half million asked of the county suf- ficient recompense for the risk they are willing to take Their idea is to create a property that woula make Maricopa county rich and prosperous ana give the company substantial div idends for years to come. and they ask for a guarantee of cooperation in the form Of county bonds.
 Some of the objectors assume that capital should donate a magnificent reservoir and take its chances of get ting any revenue. No financier would endorse this visionary idea. The think ing man sees that a purely business transaction is the only one likely to succeed. There is no question that If the county should issue bonds and ex- change them for either preferred stock or reservoir bonds the deal could be so .hedged about that the users of water would be amply protected. Without an ample guarantee of protection the county's bonds need not be delivered. With the example of unsuccessful ir rigation enterprises staring it in the face capital would naturally desire 10 pursue a course that would invite the confidence of the people. In that di rection alone would there lie a chance of profit. He who takes an opposite view has not studied the signs of the times alright.
