Effect on Mental Development

fence to be told by the father of
family that he spends for medicine all
he earns. in the hope of Kidding his
children of this malady. Add to this the
physicians bills, the loss by death
and funeral expenses. etc, and it is
seen that this infection is keeping more
than one family in absolute poverty,
Nor should we forget that uncinariasis
has its important bearing upon the men
tai as we'll as upon the physical and
financial development of the poorer
white people. AS already stated chill
dren infected win this malady are often
underdeveloped mentally; frequently
they have a reputation in the schools,
IN the neighborh9od, and in their own
family of being stupid, or dull or
backward in their studies. etc 1t has

FALsEHOOD THE SIXTH.


Up in northern Montana some years
back a young wolf was captured. It
was taken into a small town there and
kept during the summer. It was dOci,e
so long as you had your eye on it, but
ii never overcome the sneaking in
stinCts peculiar TO its race. It's delight
was to creep stealthlly up behind some
one, bite him more or less severely and
rush away. II could not be cured OF
this habit. Repeated beatings had no
effect and although the animal was
docile enough in other respects. it was
a pronounced nuisance because of its
habit of biting people when they were
not looking. Naturally the animal was
complained against and the owner was
/ directed by the town marshal TO send

The wolf was thereupOn sent to a ranch
fifty miles or more from the town. IL

gAWoTHER RECORD SMASHED.

THIS SEEMS to be a season OF record
making, or record breaking, which
means one and the same thing. Per
haps the most remarkable performance
ever made by a harness horse was that
OF Prince Alert at the Empire City
New York; track on Wednesday after
noon. From the standpoint Of mere
speed e was far and away the most
phenomenal thing Of its kind the world
has ever known. though lovers OF the

the two-minute mile Of the game little
mare, Lou Dillon, Is more remarkable
Few people have an idea Of what it
means for a horse to travel in harness
a mile I'm less than two minutes. To
cover the distance in 1:57. the new
record established by Prince Alert, the
pacing king was obliged to cover more
than forty-seven feet every second.
There is no way Of knowing how many
steps he took per second without meas
urinE one of his steps. and that would
hardly be a fair test. for the reason
that the number Of steps taken varies
with the rate of speed.
A local horse, AItoka, owned by Hal
w. Brown. was once measured and it
was found that he stepped nineteen
and One-half feet while going at a PIP
gait Prince Alert probably stepped
twenty feet, so he took something
more than two steps per second on the
average for the mile. That is, a dis
lance of at least twenty feet was trav-
eled by the horse between the prints
of any given hOof. And he took two

THE SUNDAY HERALD.


THE NEXT ISSUE Of The Sunday
1 Herald is going to be so good that
we can't resist the temptation to say
something about it in advance. People
should be prepared for pleasant sur
prises as well as for surprises that are
unpleasant It is hardly necessary to
explain that the element OF surprise
has never entered into the feelings of
readers of The Sunday Herald when
they began examining their copies OF
the paper. unless il is the sort of sur
prise occasioned by the knowledge that
so good q paper can be published in
the intermOuntain country.
The new feature Tor next Sundays
Herald is the first of a series Of stories
by Forrest Crissey. The series is en-
titled, "The Tattlings Of a Retired
Politician" We have no hesitation in
saying that no more delightful feature
has ever appeared in any newspaper.
Mr.. Crissey is well known as the west
ern editor Of the Saturday Evening
Post. but he is better known as one
of the ablest young writer's In the
United states.
In THE Tattlings Of a Retired Poll
tician" he turns a powerful light on
the fnnermost workings OF the game OF
politics and does it so pleasantly and
70 brightly that nobody can fail 20 be
interested. even though the reader or
dinarily does not take any interest in
politics Most Of the readers Of The
Sunday Herald already know Mr.. Girls
sey's work. They need not be told OF
the good thing in store for them in
this series. Those who have not vii
welcome his future contributions as
eagerly as his old friends.
We desire to call attention to two
other stories that will appear in the
next issue Of The Sunday Herald. one
of these is by Sir A. Conan Doyle
"The New Catacomb," and the Other
is Frank IT. SDearman's THE Might
Mans story" Both of them, It IS
almost a waste Of space to say. are
well worth reading. The high repu-
tatious Of both Of these human inter
est authors is more than maintained
by their contributions to next Sunday:

Advice TO Street Car Men

Never start from either end of the
line on time. This Will give you
splendid opportunity TO pound the cars
to pieces. pass waiting people and kill
people by travelling at an unlawful
pace.
Never make the right change.
When behind time stop in the mid
die of a block for a woman to brush
her hair and put her hat on before she
climbs aboard. This VIII cause other
passengers to miss engagements,
trains, etc, and will thus afford you
much pleasure.
When you have a fiat-wheeled car
as you generally have-start late and
tear along as fast as possible. This
viii be certain to cause your passen-
gers discomfort.
Never help old ladies on or off the
car. Help the young ones, who may
smile at you.
Always smoke a few cigarettes be-
fore thrusting your way through an
/ overcrowded car. The passengers. es-
( pecially the ladies, are quite fond of
the odor of stale tobacco.
Ring UD half the fares you collect.
keeping the odd nickel for yourself if
the fares do not break even.
Have some Imburger cheese in your
lunch always and warm the same over
the car heater. keeping the doors and
windows closed.
Never stop at crossings IN muddy
weather. Pedestrians have the first
right TO the crossings and might be
wanting to cross while the car stood
there.
DO not bother to keep the car fend-
/ ers in working condition. Most people
are lucky. anyway.
! If an old lady should happen to make
/ a complaint. swear at her if there are
no men in the car.
! Always start the car with a jerk II
any lame people are standing up: 9th
/ eTwise start it gently.
| When operating on single tracks al
ways run past the switch, so you can
/ kill a little more time backing up.
Collide with light carriages contain
! ing women and children whenever pos
sible
Always punch the wrong date in
/ transfers. This gives your friends OF
! other cars a chance to do n little
! business.
When requested TO stop "on this sid.
Of the street" run across to the 'othei
side"
Observe the rules Of the company il
| you have reason to believe any of tn,
/ officials or a spotter IS on the car,
otherwise. disregard all rules OF the
company or Of politeness.

great deal easier to say things than
