Mrs. George Hauck. of Cincinnati.
o., owns spaniel which has taken a VIC
lent dislike to automobiles. Whenever
one passes the home OF his mistress he
has spasms. Finally he seemed de-
termined to end it all and deliberately
leaped from third-story window. He
was picked up by two men and carried
upstairs.
When placed upon the floor the dog
made a second dash for the open win
dow and again fell sprawling upon the
sidewalk, unconscious Mrs. Hauch ran
downstairs and picked up the animal
after being carried to the third floor the
dog in few minutes opened his eyes.
Looking about for second he darted
out of the window for the third time.
The last fall came near killing the des-
perate animal and after being tied Sc
curely he was put back to his bed and
the window closed.

WATERWAY FOR INDIANA.
EnEineers 10 Survey for ship Canal
from Lake Michigan TO the

Charles Peters and Judge Burson, Of
Starke county, Ind, have engaged engi-
neers to make a survey for ship canal
to connect Lake Michigan with the Wa
bash river. A number of surveys have
been made since 1881, but with the MAX
ing Of this survey 1t is understood that
IN effort will be made to interest the
Indiana legislature in the hope of secur-
ing an appropriation and enlisting capt.
talists in the project. 1t is said that
such canal would shorten the water
way from Lake Michigan to the Gulf Of
Mexico nearly $50 miles in comparison
with the Chicago canal

AUTOMOBILE MAKES PACE.
TrOtter, Cresceus, in Break
ing Record.

Every day new uses are being found
for the automobile, but it remains for
Dayton, o., to demonstrate a new and
most peculiar activity for the machine
steed. There few weeks ago tour
ing car was used effectively as pace
maker for Creceus, the famous Ohio
trotter, says the New York Tribune.
Horses and automobiles have been
connected in thought and story from
the beginning of the wonder vehicle.
When the first practical machines were
put upon the market the alarmists
cried out: "The horse has run his race.
His day has passed. Soon he will be-
come relic, curiosity" Even the
animals took fright. and for a long
time runaways in punches followed
every footing machine. Then the ma
chimes began to break, and the horses
had their revenge, though it was one
that made them work They were
hitched to the fallen ones, and towed
them to the repair shops.
1t has long been the custom of trying
to break records with trotting horses
to send a running horse in sulky out
ahead or alongside. The owner Of
Cresceus, Toledo horseman, conceived
the idea of adding to the drawing power
by running swift automobile outside
the running horse. Several machines
were tried in preliminaries, and steam
car was finally selected, on account OF
the nicely with which speed could be
regulated, and because there was no
unusual noise to frighten the horse.
The scheme was tried on a haIf-mile
track at Dayton in the presence of a
crowd that packed the grandstand.
Cresceus was to go after the record for
mile on half-mile track-a record
of 2:09A, made by himself at Kansas
City on October "a, 1901. Mike the
Tramp. the running horse, went with
the trotter, and a new record of 2.O8%
was established

SALMON rs WASTED.
Tons Of the Fish Thrown Away In
Alaska Fisheries.
OnHy the Bellies Are Saved, Leaving
About Six-Seventh of the Fish
TO BE Cast Aside as
worthless.

A steamer bound for Seattle touched
at this place day or two ago to take
on lot of salmon, which had been put
up by the salteries here. One OF the
passengers CHANGED to notice that the
barrels which were being raised on
board were labeled Salmon bellies"
He asked an officer of the ship what
was done with the rest of the fish, re-
ports the New York Tribune
often 1t is thrown away" was the
reply. Il have seen thousands and
tens of thousands of pounds of good
salmon thrown into the sea-"
why isn't all the fish used?" was the
natural question.
I'm the canneries it is" answered the
officer, but in the salteries they often
pack only the bellies. You see, it takes
lot of money to start cannery You
have got to have big building and
expensive machinery for cleaning, boil
ing and packing the salmon. So good
many men with small capital start salt
cries. They clean the fish by hand, cut
out the bellies and pack them in barrels
with salt You see this doesn't require
any big or expensive plant The bel
lies are considered the choicest part,
and they bring better prices in Seattle
than the rest of the fish would"
But wouldn't it be just as easy to
salt the rest of the salmon too?"
Eyes, it would; but there isn't so
much money in that. The fish are SO
plentiful that while they run you can
catch all you can handle. The salter-
les work all their men as many hours
as they can in the height of the. season,
and they find it most profitable to
hard die only bellies"
''How much of the fish Is wasted when
this is done?"
About six-sevenths. / have seen
them. throw away 20 pounds of good
meat of king salmon, and salt only the
belly, which weighed maybe four
pounds"
Then there's enough salmon wasted
every year to feed all the poor of Sc
attic, | suppose" said the passenger.
yes, If you could only get it to them.
For that matter, you could make your
fortune hundred times over il you
could only deliver some of these Alaska
glaciers in the states free of charge"
In spite of the prodigality in the use
of salmon, it is generally believed that
the supply will never run short. The
United States treasury department has
issued regulations for the artificial
propagation of fry by the owners of
canneries, but complaint is made that
the task is an exceedingly difficult one

Still keeping in sphere above

dice that blow this way and that
around the play boats of party

us look at ourselves. Our vote
should be for a greater man, in
some way, than we. Certainly
he must be greater;for we should
surely never dream of passing
the power of our little household
ozone less fit than we; if not the

ly creature of excuses in self

powers of manhood suffrage to
the ideals of the style or the
barter bee If such is running,
why is he running and how dare
we help him TO success !? The
wand of election, waving this
man up and that man down, has
no such magic about it that it
can take a man who is unfit, un

lazy mans excuse to say to him
self that there were. The situa-
ton is simple-bad men run for
votes and get them when good
men are regular" sleepers,
thinking by proxy and moving
towards the polls like sleep
walkers.
Bear yet with our thinking !!
If voting be SO great an honor,
so ancient and honorable an evil
dence of human distance from
savage states, what must forever
hereafter be our attitude towards
the buying and selling of votes :?
1t is an insult for a political.run-
ner to offer an election day smile
that will wear off, or a cigar, OF
a rent receipt, or an order for
coal, or a drink or greenback
or job in return for vote.
The offer stamps him as unfit for
any vote of any free man at any
time. Why ? Because his poor
sharp-edge soul has no sense of
what a vote means. A vote is
au opinion. Opinions cannot be
bought or sold; they are above
the realms of huckstering and
near the throne of all power,
where is seated One whom we
cannot picture other than as a
glorified man. Thought alone
keeps US up in that realms; bought
thought puts us down in the

ereign power as men.
Voting has its root of sublime
endurance in the trust that one
man is willing to extend to an
other. Voting means mutual
confidence. The family used to
have its patriarch; and he held
sway over few. The clan of
families came in due course to
see the need of q chief. The
tribe, made up of many families,
came in due course to see the
need of o chief, and to him all
minor powers bowed, for the
sake of power to the tribe. Trib-
es of like mind or like ancestry
advanced to the point where they
trusted each other and made
king to rule over them, to whom
they gave their abject service,
placing their honor in his noble
palms; for, mark well, no bad
king ever held sway in comfort
and his abuse of power was a
first move towards it's vanish
ment.
Patriarch, chief, king-these
have come and gone as mile
stones in the far back history of
every one of us. And now

from the sparkling lakes of

world grouped around it ? But
its far-spread testing is not larg-
er than the stupendous idea that
one common man, with no king
liness but character, does in

sacred honor, his honesty, his
sovereign power to another com
mon man, selected for the little

however. that in case the strikers are
