rarely disappointed. He also says
that during the days that he spent in

prnxiBity to bears and never heard
one OF them approach him. Somehow

MORTON THE WINNER.
Topeka Man Outshoots Every
one at Kingman.

Charles Morton of Topeka won the big
shoot at Kingman Tuesday handily de-
featihg all corners and scoring 81 out of
100 clay pigeons.
Mr. Morton. of the Topeka Gun club,
is exhibiting all the symptoms of an ex-
pert shooter. He has demonstrated this
not only by breaking twenty-five blue
rocks in succession at the club grounds,
but by making the high average in the
tournament at Kingman, Kansas, yes
terday- Shooting in the numerous
events he broke 81 out of 100 clay
pigeons and made run of AZ without a
miss, winning first place in every
event.
The Kingnan shoot was a great sue
cess and the attendance was large. The
team shoot between Kingman. Hutch
inson and New Murdoch WAS won by
the Hutchinson boys who broke 68 out
of a possible rs. Z. 0. Hudson Of
Hutchinson leading in the race. A fea-
ture Of the shoot was match at %
bluerocks between Hudson and Van
Keuren OF Hutchinson for SIS, resulting
in a tie on p birds each.
Should the Topeka boys conclude to
give a shoot they may rest assured of
a large attendance from the western
clubs.

inclined him to believe that there is

be conclusively proved to have resulted
from the bite of a dog or any other
cause
For the benefit OF credulous or timid
dog owners, however. and without fur
Their discussing the question of hydro
phobia in man, let US repeat the ''Hints

have been compiled by the society on
the authority of the most prominent
specialists in the country:
H. 1t is supposed that a mad dog
breads water It is not SO. The mad
dog is very likely to plunge his head 70
the eyes in water, though he cannot
swallow it and laps it with difficulty
-. It is supposed that a mad dog
runs about with evidences Of intense
excitement It is not so. The mad dog
gallOps; he IS always alone, usually In
a strange place. where he joys along
slowly. If he Is approached by dog or
man, he shows no signs of excitement.
but when the dog or man is near
enough he snaps and resumes his soil
tary trot-
"s. If a dog barks. yelps. whines. or
growls, that dog is not mad. The only
sound mad dog is ever known to
emit is a hoarse howl. and that but sell
dom. Even blows will not extort an
cutlery from a mad dog. Therefore, If
any dog, under any circumstances. ut
tiers any other sound than that of a
hoarse howl, that dog is not mad.
a. Tt is supposed that the mad dog
froths at the mouth 1t is not so. If a
dogs jaws are covered or hecked with
white froth. that dog il not mad. The
surest Of all signs that dog is mad is
a thick and ropy mucus clinging to his
lips, which he often tries vainly to tear
away with his paws or to wash away
with water"
