! have often been asked: How do
YOU train the dogs and ponies2' The
easiest way To answer that question is
to put another. HOW are fifty or 100
children trained and educated in differ
/ ent homes and schools In the old
style the method was the same for
every dog and pony. Under the new
system. each dog or pony is handled
differently and it is in knowing how TO
handle each animal that the trainer
shows his ability. The fundamental
principle which makes. the successful
/ trainer IS patience. This must he sup
plemented by an ability to work week

after week on the same candidates,
each in its own way, without seemingly
any results, and, what is more import
ant. without losing temper or cour-
age.
The successful trainer must also
couple firmness with consistency. Firm
ness does not mean brutality, hut 1t
doeS5 mean that when a dog or pony
once learns what is wanted of him he
must respond when called on. Under
the present system this has resolved it
self into a conflict of viii between the
trainer and animal. I have made this
rule-when an animal once learns
what is wanted of it and ccntinually
balks he is discarded, as there are too
many willing dogs and ponies who de-
light in their work, and are keen to
leaEn. An intelligent sulker can do
more damage than half a-dozen stupid
animals who are trying to do their
best.
I have ponies working here today
which in the early days Of their ecu-
{ cation were sullly and refused to work
properly. They were discarded and
others substituted They soon discOv-
cred that they had iOSt caste, and later
when given another chance became
willing workers, and are as good as
any in the lot. This, however, is an
! exception.
As a rule. dogs, ponies and monkeys

THERE has been remarkable
change I'm the training and hand
ling of animals I'm the last fifteen
years. When 7 began in the dog and
pony show business, says AIr. Gentry,
trainers were hr1 believers in spare
the rod and spoil the animal" They
thought the whip worth more than the
command and accompanied almost
every order with a slash. The ponies
and dogs Gid their work. but they
Cringcd through it. frightened and
trembling. expecting every minute TO
feel the whip. There was absolutely no
discrimination. Willing stock received
the same treatment as sulkers, and
there was no bond of feeling or sym
Vathy between the trainers and their
stock. In fact. a comparison of the
animal trainers of twenty years ago
with those OF today would be like com
paTing the schOolmes ters of fifty years
ago with present day teachers.
Now the conditions under which ami
mails are trained are radically differ
ent. The whip has been disc 3rded- ex-
cept as a badge Of authority. and the
trainers one aim Is to establish closer
bond Of sympathy between himself and
the stock. This is particularly true in
regard TO the handling Ct elephants,
ponies and dogs. The treatment of

take fully as much pride in their work
as children do when permitted to show
their ccOmplishments IN public, and
they are as susceptible Of praise or
censure. I have always found that
with dogs, particularly, a scolding is
better than the use of the whip. There

form with the physical and mental con-
ditiOnS of the trainer If ne IS sick or
careless if the attendance is light or
there is a discOurag ing chilIiness among
the spectators. the animals know it at
once and go through their work in an
Indifferent manner.
IT, however. the tent is packed. the
trainer at his best, the animal perform
ers are on edge and win do their ut
most to make the performance a sue
cess. Their eagerness some times causes
trouble, but that is excusable.
There is another interesting thing in
connection with dog and pony actors.
Nearly every animal performer has an
several times a week. Almost every
doc and pony act in the Gentry pro-
gramme has a duplicate and in some
cases the understudies are as good as
the regular performers In watching
the show you win often notice dogs
Jump from their stools when not called.
They are understudleS who are hoping
they viii be given a chance. 1t is the
same with the ponies.
In the old days Of dos and pony
shows there were two or three star
performers and the others were simply
stool warmers used to I'll in. This
made it easier on the trainer. Now
every dog or pony that comes into the
arena has some special act to perform.
It may be that he simply walks across
the ring at a certain time. but that
is his act. This requires much more
work, but should one or two OF the
best dogs be hurt. the performance
would not be crippled and would go on
lust the same.

THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON
Rev. d. b. Shuey Delivers u Strong
Address to the High School and
Friends Sunday Morning.

Rev. d. B. Shey, OF the Reformed
church, delivered the Baccalaureate
sermon to this years. graduating class
OF the lola high school in the auditor
ium of the high school building Sum
day morning. The room was well filled
with students and friends in spite OF
the shower and threatening weather,
and the graduating class attended in
body.
Rev. Shuey took his text from Prov
cribs, 'lx, l: "Wisdom Hath Builded
Her House" The house he likened
unto the high school building, state
ly structure devoted to learning. And
in that house there was feast, not Of
things 70 eat, but feast of reason.
Invited to this feast is the entire pop
ulation OF young people. The service
is excellent and the guests areinspired
by the precept and example to get the
best and put it TO the best use. The
speaker dwelt on this last idea and
said that as poor fruit is poisonous to
the body, so poor literature is poison
Gus to the mind while good fruit is
intended for use and sustains the body,
likewise good literature strengthens
and improves the mind. The purpose
OF education is to cultivate the mind
and to enlarge the understanding so
that the individual might discern be-
tween good and evil and not only pre-
serve himself but help others less for
tunate. Study should be carried on
with the purpose of attaining higher
ground in life where broad view Of
the divine purpose is visible, and so
that the individual may not seltishly
live for himself but for his fellow man
as we'll. And to attain this the speak
err emphasized the value of o good
Christian training and education.
1t was most able effort and his
hearers are unanimous in their opin-
ion tAat the talk was most timely.

LnHarne Wants the RaiIroad.

LaHarpe News:-The county wants
the branch road of the M. X. & T..
built from Moran to Piqua for more
toan one reason: 1t will add over a
score of miles of r. r. to the taxable
property, it will add several new
buildings, bring more people, make
work and give an advantage to a con-
siderable portion of the comfy in the
way of a competing line of road. A
railrod one built is very apt to be a
permant improvement no matter what
comes or doesn't come, or what goes
or doesn't go. We have the very best
kind of u chance to get road at no
great colt to us, and we should spare
no effort to locate it. OF course some
people will be damaged if the road is
located on any one of the streets in
LaHarpe, but to the town as a whole
it will be a benefit. The News has not
word of censure to say against any
who are kicking. The man whose OK
is being gored is mighty sure to OBJ
iect The road ought to be somewhere
where it will be OF most advantage
and of least detriment.

The Bugs Own the Town.

The bug trouble is getting worse
instead of better. Saturday night
Ramsay brothers found the pests had
entered their store and the light in
front was turned off while everybody
fought bugs. In front of Northrups
store Sunday the carcasses .of several
hundred big water bugs lay exposed,
although the city has two scavengers.
And Charlie Spencer, who is all
swelled up because he lived once be-
fore where there were electric lights
says the trouble hasn't begun; that
some day ninety-nine billion little
green bugs will come along and will
make life burden while they stay.
o ne man says his cat destroys the
bugs, and under another lamp small
boys were amusing themselves in the
slaughter. 1t might help to offer a
reward to the kid making the largest
collection of bugs. A strange coin
cidence is the lease OF Ft. Scott where
the lights are turned off because the
joints are closed and the revenue
stopped. AS soon as the sale Of "bug
juice" was stopped and people ceased
getting "bug house." the bug trouble
ended

Mr.. NOBLE BUYS A We'll
A Six-Million Well Sold for $1,000
Cash-The Gas Will Be Brought
to lola.

Mr.. j. G. Noble, of whose activity
in attempting to extend the limits of
the lola gas field readers OF the REG
lister have been kept informed, has
given further proof of his determine
ton to do business by the purchase of
the A. L. Stewart we'll, located on the
north half of the northwest quarter Of
8-25-19. The we'll is a mile and half
south of Gas City, with an estimated
capacity of 100000 cubic feet, and
the price paid for the we'll and two
acres of land surrounding it was
"a, 900 cash. The we'll belonged to
Mr.. Stewart who drilled it at his own
expense.
In addition to this acquisition Mr. 4.
Noble expects to close today q deal
for thousand acres of leases lying a
short distance east ofthe Stewart we'll,
and will begin the work Of develop
ment at once.
81 am determined to show you peo-
pie that there is gas in Allen county
outside the present known limits, "
said Mr.. Noble. And those who have
met Mr.. Noble are perfectly willing to
admit that "if anybody kin, he kim"
and they all sincerely hope that if any
body does he will, for he has invested
large sums Of money and a great deal
Of time in a work that nobody else
seemed willing to undertake.
When asked where he intended to
use the gas from the Stewart we'll Mr..
Noble replied without hesitation;
''Right here in lola. Pm not ready
just yet" he continued, ITO say just
what am going to do with it. But
will say that it will be big thing for
lola. All l want isgas, plenty Of gas.
And here is sincerely hoping that he
will find gas, plenty of it, and that
right speedily.

MR.. CROUCH IS JUyLIhAT
Has Assurances From the Missouri
Pacific and Capitalists That Make
Street Railway q Go.

Mr.. f. V. Crouch returned last
Friday from his trip to st. Louis
and he looks mighty jovial and pros
porous. Several conferences which he
heldwit st. Louis people have cleared
away the last lingering mist that
threatened to throw a shadow on the
proposed street railway for lola.
In the first place he has been negoti-
ating and parleying with the Missouri
Pacific railroad for some months for
the privilege of using its rails for his
cars, instead of building a new line.
The Missouri Pacific operates but
four regular trains daily through here
and a schedule he thought could be
arranged that would give the electric
line regular service and not interfere
with the freight and passenger trains.
The company finally told him, how
ever, that they could not consider
such plan. They did express kind
~ interest in his scheme and gave him
hearty assurances that as soon as he
had his line ready to operate the Sub
urban train on their road will be
taken off. There will be no fight be-
tween the lines, entailing loss of
money and no benefit to either. This
in itself is a good deal.
Mr.. Crouch also had conferences
with St. Louis capitalists and told
them of the way things are progress
ing here, and received assurance that
when his bond issue is ready they will
be ready to take any or all of the
stock. So the finances of the new
street car line are in frst-class shape
and the road will be rushed to com
pletion as fast as possible. The great
rush in all manufacturing lines, how
ever, m kes the delivery of material
suueertain, the engine which he wants
not being cbtainable within four
months. Aside from the delays in
getting the material he looks for no
lost moments.
As the view widens Mr.. Crouch has
almost concluded to waive the privil-
eye of getting power from the city. To
install such a plant as he will need
would mean that the power house must
be enlarged and other expenses would
be incurred that would mean that he
must build large addition to the
city's power plant and then rent of the
city. For the same money he can build
and equip an independent plant and
this may be done.
And in the meantime look out for
the cars!

Two New Firms for lola 4.

Already the new buildings going up
on the square have been rented and
among the renters are two new firms,
a drug firm and clothing firm.
One of the rooms in the Hobart
building will be occupied by Helton $
fruit store and the west and larger
room has been rented by new drug
firm Of Baxter Springs. DR.. Dewitt
and DR.. Thompson, from there were
here Friday andH arranged for the
building. The former is a physician
and the latter a dentist. They have n
third partner who is a druggist and
will take charge of the store, which
they promise will be modern, up-to-
date and not handle booze.
Everybody who has been within a
hundred miles of Pittsburg, Kans,
knows of the big Globe Clothing store.
1t is one of the largest and finest in
the southeastern Kansas. Messrs.
Schlanger, the brothers who own IT,
have rented the Northrup store room
under the Masonic Temple and will
occupy the room when finished with a
big stock of clothing, stock that they
say will be a credit to the town.
And thus the ball continues to roll.

Death of CLYDE SeitZ.

The sad news reached lola by tele-
gram Friday that Clyde Seitz, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John II. Seitz. of 5ll
south Walnut, died at noon Friday at
Las Vegas, New Mexico, where he
went some months ago in the hope OF
beneftt'ng his health. He was but
seventeen years old and is we'll known
in lola where he attended the public
schools until his poor health compell-
ed him to leave. A bright, promising
young man, a good student, a loving
son and a warm friend, his death
brings a personal sense of loss and
pain to very large number of lola
people.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence Monday afternoon at ? O'Clock.

A Delivery Cart Smashed.

Sunday morning there was one OF
the most destructive runaways yet
down in the fourth ward. Frank Peed,
boy who delivers meat for one of the
markets, was making his rounds in a
two wheeled cart when the horse ran
away. The boy fell to the ground and
lay stunned for minute and then fol-
lowed his Pegasus. The horse got
weary of having the cart rattle at his
heels and turned in at Leigh Hunt &
home, running foul of patent swing.
The cart struck the heavy metal sup
ports of the swing and was converted
into kindling wood, the shafts, wheels,
single, seat and everything about il
being broken.
