PREACHER IN FOX CHASE.
His Church Exclamation Was to All
Appearances Understood
by the Hounds.

Some years ago Rev. William LunS-
ford was the pastor of a Baptist church
at Bowling Green, KY, and he was
popular with the community, for, be-
sides being an earnest and eloquent
preacher he was fond of an occasional
chase of the willy red fox, and with
the fine pack of dogs owned by the
kennel club he was enabled to crafty
his tastes whenever he desired. says
the Chicago Chronicle. The good doc
tor in his church services frequently
led the singing of some old familiar
hymn full of melody and inspiration
and he had the habit when announcing
hymn of raising his right hand high
above his head in persuasive invitation
% the congregation to all join in the
inging, and with his hand high up
would exclaim when he was ready to
start the hymn, Everybody" and
with the exclamation everybody who
could master a note of concord or dis
cord would join in with a whole-souled
willingness that made the walls of
the old church resound with melody
that found its way to the courts above.
OSIdASys VIII 6cAOl oily SAoP-
eroned DR.. Lunsford in his fox chases,
says they were out one night when ma
ture was in her happiest moods and
with fine pack of dogs, a trail was
soon struck and in few minutes the
pack was going at full cry in bend
of the river six miles around. The
dogs soon passed out of hearing, the
judge drifting off to place where he
was sure the fox had doubled on it's
track and the pack scattered. Very
soon one of the pack came in hearing
and rapidly was pursuing reynard in
the direction where the doctor was last
seen. The other dogs were beginning
to come in hearing on the hot trail of
the fox being pursued by the single dog
and the judge turned his gallop down
where the doctor was awaiting the re-
turn of the exciting music the pack
was giving when they went out of
hearing into the river bend.
The judge rode around a sharp de-
clivity and came up unobserved close
to where the doctor was tiptoeing in
his stirrups listening to the sharp. ex-
cited mouthings of the single hound as
he holly pursued the fox. Just then
the main pack begun to draw near and
the doctor. rising to the utmost OF his
stirrup feathers, raising his right hand
high above his head, sung out, Every
body" The passing pack realized that
the preacher knew what was wanted
and they closed up the gap between
them and the single dog and soon had
reynard running for life and the
preacher delighted that his church
lingo was thoroughly understood by
his fleet-footed friends of the kennel
So 1t has come to pass in Bowling

KEROSENE FOR THE HAIR.
Seems to BE n Rough Treatment, But
Its Results Have Proved En-
tirely Satisfactory,

woman recently asserted that the
fine appearance Of her hair was entirely
due to persistent and thorough treat
ment with the familiar kerosene of the
corner grocery commerce 1t was ap-
piled regularly once fortnight in the
following way: A little was poured into
a saucer and rubbed with the fingers
into the roots of the hair. The appli-
cation was slow and thorough, the gen.

lips being needed to open the pores for
the absorption of the oil. The treat
Dent was usually made at night, and
the hair afterward tied up in silk hand
kerchief.
The silk handkerchief is recon-
mended by hair dressers as useful in
retaining the natural electricity OF the
hair. By noon of the following day the
odor Of the kerosene had disappeared,
and in another IL hours the oiliness that
followed its use had also gone. The
effect Of this treatment on the hair was
promptly noticeable, the falling out
stopped, and some new short hairs were
found all over the head. AS the kero-
sene application was continued the hair
became thick and smooth. When, after
several months, it was finally discon-
tinued, abundant glossy locks replaced
the dry and lusterless hair-the former
condition existing, though no kerosene
had been used for several years.-N. Y.

Don't take flyer" in mining,

The Projected Tunnel.

The projected railroad tunnel
which is to be cut through the
Continental divide on the line of
the Denver, Northwestern and
Pacific will start at the head of the
south fork of Boulder creek, on the
eastern slope, the exit on the west
ern slope to be near the head of
James creek, which flows into Fra
zier river. The tunnel will be two
and one half miles in length, its
elevation to be $3.50 feet above
sea level. 1t will cut the ? POO feet
below the crest of the range at
that point. In size the bore will
be sixteen feet in width and twenty
four feet in height. The course of
the tunnel will be two and half
miles north of James peak. Chief
Engineer Sumner estimates that
about two years work will be re-
quired to complete the work.
Power plants for operating air
drills will doubtless be installed
on both slopes so that work may
proceed from both sides. The
work will be done under contract,
bids for which are being consider
ed. The project will afford fine
opportunity to test the speed and
economy of the various rock drills,
and it is needless to say that the
drill men will meet the demands
of the occasion with consummate
skill.

%Opini0n Of Others -

To his remarkable exhibition of
bias, displayed in his declarations
from the bench at Idaho Springs
last week, Judge Frank w. Overs
has added other Incorporate state
ments in letter to Governor J. H.
Peabody In his communication,
made public yesterday, he reiter--
ates his former declarations with
renewed vigor and misplaced zeal.
The question of which side in the
pending difficulty at Idaho Springs
is favored, or presumably benefit
ed, by Judge Overs utterances
does not enter into the merits of
the discussion. His words would
be equally deplorable had they been
spoken in derision of the expelled
miners as they are in denunciation
of merchants, mechanics and pro-
fessional men involved on the other
side. The regret of all right-mind
ed men must be, not that they are
uttered against the latter, but
are uttered at all by one invested
with the dignity OF high judicial
office. The recent unfortunate
occurrences at Idaho Springs are
to be reviewed, presumably, by
Judge Overs in due course of time.
but after his remarks from the
bench and his statements through
the medium of his letter to the
governor, there will be few people
in Colorado, or out of it, familiar
with the facts, who will be willing
to concede that Judge Overs can
calmly and dispassionately pass,
upon the issues in that controversy.
His course in this matter has be-
trayed a temper and prejudice in
consistent with his position, and
the danger to be apprehendtd is
that his utterances will have ten
dency in the minds of men already
agitated and infamed permantly to
array one class of citizens against
another-Colorado Springs Gazette
August 18th, 1908.

that guarantees dividends. Dame
Nature has something to say about
that.

time. If the mine is earning divi-

the inducement to lynch would be
largely taken away.-Justice Brew
er in Frank Les1ie's.
The town of Idaho Springs has
set worthy example to all COM
munities in its method for hand
ling outbreaks of anarchy and law
lessness. The miners are simply
getting a dose of their own medi-
cine, though it is administered in
a quiet, orderly and proper man
ner. The cases of Telluride and
Idaho Springs afford good illustra-
tions of both sides of the question.
In Telluride the agitators went un-
checked and a reign of terror, end
ing in a most dastardly murder,
ensued. In Idaho Springs the bus
mess people lost not moment in
taking the situation in hand. The
result is law and order and safety
of property and life. Society de-
pends upon the business element,
the people who own properey, pay
the taxes, uphold morality and
liberty, and this is the element
that must rule if the country is to
be preserved. We need not and
will not be ruled by either the inn
moral and dissolute aristocracy nor
by the anarchistic element of agi-
tators. The middle class is the
ruling element in American socie-
ty, and they are not to be deprived
of their inherent right to rule. We
believe i'll union, union for labor
ing men and for business men, for
in union there is strength and ad-
vancement. But when anarchy and
lawlessness creep in the check line
must be drawn taut.-Salida Re
