IT SHOWED ITS QUALITY.
MFR. Hunfington's Switch Engine Did
Not DisappOint Him In
Its Power.

Some II years ago, when Coils ?.
Huntington was president of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad company,
J. X. Murray, of the vice presidents
staff, with Capt. Rogers. California
railroad official, was with him on his
private car. Capt Rogers had been of
fered the general agership of the
road by Mr.. Huntington, and he was
going over the line. The train stopped
and a switching engine was attached
to the end of Mr.. Huntington's car TO
pull it out.
At that moment, relates Chicago
exchange. the party on the car was
breakfasting. and Mr.. Huntington was
seated at the table nearest the door,
deftly carving a steak. The switch
ing engine had been coupled to the
other end of the car and started off,
and it happened that the brakeman
forgot to uncouple the bell rope be-
tween the car and the rest of the train,
so, as the switching engine pulled the
private car away from the train. the
rope stood the strain until it became
taut and then broke with rebound
that sent one end with terrific force
into Mr.. Huntingtons car.
The flying rope with its metal end
grazed Mr.. Huntington's head and
shattered the meat platter in front OF
him. He quietly began 70 pick up the
fragments, and Capt. Rogers re-
marked: THAT was narrow escape
Mr.. Huntington"
The railroad king, with his manner
unchanged. replied: Il don't know
captain. / would have felt pretty mean
if one of those new switching engines
of ours couldn't pull a bell rope in
half"

DOGS SUFFER FROM WORRY


The grand army reunion and the
Labor day parade have left some sad
remembrances along Michigan avenue
in the form of regular epidemic of
canine nervous prostration, says the
Chicago Tribune. The pet and toy
dogs which have been lording it over
the common kind along the Lake
Front park are now many of them
under the care OF veterinary surgeons
for most aggravated cases of snap
pishness and nerves. Following upon
the excitement and crowds of the re-
union and parade came the hot spell,
and then the dogs betrayed symp-
toms which were feared by many to
be hydrophobia. Their usually kind
and placid dispositions were decidedly
soured and they became really dam
gerous.
At one time three pet dogs from one
block were under the care of the doc
tors, with their feminine owners
weeping nearby and begging their
lives be spared. Had they been ordi-
nary, plain dogs their deaths would
have been decreed forthwith.
The veterinary in charge said that
he had had at least a dozen cases of
the kind in the space of few days
and found that in every instance the
patients were suffering from overex-
citement, overfeeding and heat.

SPIDER TIME IN MANILA.
There La Great Sport for the Filipin o
Boys in Making the In
sects Fight.

When 'spider time" arrives the Fill
ipino boy is happy. He does not know
much about marbles, but when spider
time arrives, and that is just after the
rainy season begins, he knows that
he is to have great sport. There are
two harmless varieties of spiders that
are green and yellow in co.or that ma
ture in June. They are al large as the
common black spider so plentiful in
California. The Filipino boy catches
these and keeps them secure in box.
\ small rod the size and length of a
knitting needle is procured. spider
is then placed on the rod. Another boy
comes along and he bets a cent that
his spider will whip, says the San Jose
(Cal) Mercury. Then the sport be-
gins.
The boy who is challenged produces
his spider, places it on the rod with
the challenger's. Each spider makes
rush for the other and fierce bat
tie ensues. Sometimes the stronger
of the two win wind web around the
other. fastening him to the rod and
completely putting him out of bust
ness" The spid&rs sometimes fight for
ten minutes Nearly every boy has
from eight to ten spiders, and they
bet all the Filipino pennies they can
get on the result of the fight.

Through a gradual evolution, ma
t'onal irrigation has finally crystal
lied into a movement which is essen
TALLY national in its broadest sense,
and the organizations that are now en-
listing in the cause are not promoting
it from any local or sectional point of
view, but from the conviction that the
planting of American civilization and
the building of homes for one hundred
million new citizens under the Ameri-
can flag in places which are now waste
and desolate is national purpose,
which demands support from citizen
and statesman, from merchant and
manufacturer, from farmer and fac
tory operative, and from every class of
the people and section of the country,
because the far-reaching and wide
spread benefits from the reclamation
of this vast area of virgin territory
would create new national prosperity
in which all would share.

What We Eat

Is intended to nourish and sustain us,
but it must be digested and assimilated
before it can do this. In other words,
the nourishment contained in food
must be separated by the digestive
organs from the waste materials and
must be carried by the blood to all
parts of the body. We believe the rea-
son for the great benefit which so many
people derive from Hoods Sarsaparilla
lies in the fact that this medicine gives
good digestion and makes pure, rich
blood, 1t restores the functions of
those organs which convert food into
nourishment that gives strength to
nerves and muscles. 1t also cures dys-
pepsia, scrofula, salt rheum, boils,
sores, pimples and eruptions, catarrh,
rheumatism and all diseases that have
their origin in impure blood.

IS THE GIRAFFE GOING7
The LonG-Necked Animal Seems 20
Be Following the North
American Bison,

Cosmopolitan sportsmen who have
hunted in the different countries of
the world agree that the giraffe is one
of the most highly priced game ami
mails of the world. it is generally be-
lieved, though, that this animal is al
most extinct. Once it was quite abun-
dant in South Africa, but it was ruth
lessly slaughtered by the native hunt
ers there until it has become a rare
animal there.
A writer to the Field, of London, as
serts that giraffe are still to be found
in considerable numbers in Angola,
Portuguese West Africa. and that it is
likely to be many years before these
splendid animals are exterminated.
The giraffe is known to the Angola
natives as ondue. It's range does not

The Twentieth Century.

the twentieth century, apd the nine
teenth is thing of the past. 1t will,
however, always be known as the CEN

among some of the greatest of these
we can truthfnlly mention Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the celebrated remedy
for all ailments arising from dis
ordered stomach, such as dyspepsia,
Indigestion, flatulency, constipation,
nervousness and biliousness. It has
been one of the greatest blessings to
mankind during the past fifty years as
a health builder. Many prominent

it. Take their advice, try bottle and

TOBACCO GROWS IN TENTS,
Attempts Are pe4ng Made TO Grow Ha-
vana and Sumatra Leaf in
Connecticut.

An experiment in growing Havana
seed and Sumatra tobacco in Connectir
cut soil, under a tent, is being COM
Quoted by Prof. i. II. jenkins, of the
state agricultural station of New
Haven, and Marcus A. Floyd, tobacco
expert of the United States department.
of agriculture, says recent report.
The covering is made of cheese cloth,
is nine feet high and contains 3,l00 feet
of cloth. Prof. jenkins told Q
Sun reporter that the covering
offered many advantages, retain
ing the moisture in the ground
longer than where it was exposed se-
curing a temperature of from five to
ten degrees hotter, and protecting the
plants from heavy transforms or hail.
Excessively heavy hail may penetrate
through the cloth, but the fall will be
sufficiently broken to prevent the
plants from being broken. Mr. Floyd,
in speaking of the experiments, said:
"The Sumatra is progressing finely.
The leaves are smaller, of brighter
green and finer shade, and are silkier
than that raised in the open. We are
gathering the crop by leaves, picking
them as they become fully matured
and leaving the stalk. This produces a
much better result than to dry them on
the stalk. The Havana seed is not do
ing so WELL and the outcome is IN
doubt"
Prof. Jenkins said that Connecticut
tobacco no longer answered the de-
mand of the trade, and if the attempt
to grow Sumatra here was successful
it would result in great prosperity for
Connecticut growers.

Society is, after all, but conglom-
Grated mixture of mysteries and mis-
cries.
The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1901-01-11

To the newspapers of the country is
largely due the credit for the remark
able progress which the national irri-
cation movement has made, because,
without regard to party or section, the
almost unanimous and united support
of the press has been given to the
movement.
The great political parties of the
country in their platforms In the last
campaign both endorsed it, and hence
the movement is in no sense partisan
or political. 1t rises to the highest
and the purest patriotism, and the
motto of the movement-'sa the
forests and store the fioodsr-is one in
which every citizen, no matter to what
political party he may belong, may en-
list, and fight as a soldier in the cause
of the conquest and subjugation of the
deserts of arid America.
