HOW ABOUT TEDDY
The Hanna Candidacy Boom Seems
to Conflict with q Certain
Understanding.

It is eminently natural that Mr..
Perry Heath's interview, booming
Senator Hanna for the presidential
nomination in 1904, should greatly
tickle Senator Hanna. There is prob
ably but one other development in
the political line which would tickle
Mark more-and that would be his
nomination, with the trusts solid1y
arrayed to bring about his election.
For you must keep in mind the fact
that no American really makes joke
of the chance of the presidential nom
nation if other Americans are inclined
to seriously consider him as desir-
able candidate.
Perry Heath is not the only repub-
lican to urge the nomina ton of Sen
ator Hanna. Senator Scott, a mem
Der of the republican national execu-
tive committee, has but recently made
the same suggestion, and these two
''booms" for Hanna have led to sus-
picion that the republican national
committee would like to see Hanna
nominated.
But isn't all this mighty rough on
Teddy Roosevelt? 1t was understood
when Teddy graciously consented to
accept the vice presid entail nominal
ton that he was the accepted repub-
lican heir apparent to the presidential
nomination in 1904. And now comes
all this talk of Mark Hanna, between
whom and Teddy there is not much
love, for the place which Teddy so
strenuously covets. Col Roosevelt
climbed San Juan hill in his deliberate
march on the white house. Will he
now find the burly Hanna a more in
surmountable obstruction ?-St. Louis
Republic.

of the windows and ran into the
streets to watch the chase. Every
time crossing was passed the whole
outfit bounced high into the air and
"a dollar more if you drive little
faster" some one gasped as it struck
the ground again. For the accom-
mediation train had already got
steam up and was beginning to show
plain signs of impatience.
Boy and mare both did their best
and the three men were just able to
climb on the rear platform of the
accommodation train as it pulled out
for Summitville.
What happened to the grocer's boy
when he got back with his iaded
mare is still an unsettled question.
Nor did the boy or the people who
watched with startled eyes the fight
of the gaunt white mare even now
know what was the emergency which
made the mad chase necessary. There
were three cars on the accommoda-
ton train to Summitville. In them
there were perhaps 80 people all told.
A quick canvass of the train proved
that not a person on board had even
heard of any disturbance at Summit
vile, which village the train was not
due to reach until 1880 o'clock. By
that time of the night it was likely
that everybody in town would be
sound asleep. To wake them up and
wait to get their stories would near,

COALING APPARATUS.
BattIeship Illinois to BE Equipped
by an Improved Device Invent
ed by Spencer Miller.

Spencer Miller, inventor OF proc
ess for coaling warships under way at
sea in storm or cain, has been ordered
by the navy department to equip the
new. battleship Illinois with the APP
paratus. The collier supplying the
warship will be taken in tow by it
and coalfilled bags will be passed over
cables stretched from the foremost
of the collier to the military mainmast
of the battleship. Winches that will
do all the work of the Illinois, but
which are especially constructed for
operating the coaling apparatus, will
be substituted for the ordinary ones

impossible to get long telegram
into the Office by midnight. A coun.
Gil of war was held and the three
men determined that something must
be done to hurry things along.
Finally a telegram was prepared
and sent to the mayor of Summit
vile. asking him if he would be
kind enough to meet the train when
reached the depot on a. matter of
great Importance connected with the
battle of the previous night.
At station few miles above Sum-
mitville man got on the train who.
on being questioned. proved to know,
in a general way, the story of the
fight. He told in graphic way how
the bandits had come into the vii
lage, only to fall into the ambush
which had been carefully prepared
for them.
AS soon as the staff correspondent
had got the leading facts clear in
his mind he started to write his
story.
"Now," he said, "if the mayor doesn't
go back on us, and we get tele-
graph wire, we'll pull through all
right
It'll get wire of I have to climb
a pole and cut one down." said the
operator of the party.
At last the poky train came puff
ing up to the little red station at
Summitville. It was several minutes
late, but the first glance showed that
great excitement prevailed about the

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA
and His stock Growing Fat, He
May Have Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such a pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing of
the favorite pastime says: "There is
one particular spot where L saw a
man drop 20 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too, for
they dropped in open water or on
fiat prairie. At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly. and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is a bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where a few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled, and
a short drive will bring you to a
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
ga very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fiat, DOGGY land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering. All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"
Particulars regarding settlement of
the lands of Western Canada can be
had from any agent of the Canadian
Government, whose advertisement ap-
pears elsewhere in your columns.

A Worthy Successor.


"Something New Under The Sun"
All doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry
up the mucuous membranes causing them to

used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their markers have
aimed TO cure, while pnstes and ointments can
not reach the diserse. An old experienced
practitioner who has for many years made a
close study and specially Of the treatment of
CATARRH, has at last perfected treatment

at once, but permanently cures CATARRH, by
