breeders cannot afford to STAY out,
and in this connection the following
from the American Horse Breeder
is very timely:
"luturities are an excellent thing
They have contributed as much. per.
haps more, than any one thing to
the maintenance of high values in
horsefesh. 1t has been >hrewdv
observed that the, are the salvation
Of the breeder. For relatively low
fee they enable one to win Il big
prize, which not only erriches the
owner of the foal, but brings fame
to sire, dam and stock farm.
The fact that brood mare Is well
entered in futurities greatly en-
hances the value of herself and her
produce. And this truth applies
with equal force to stations. The
more OF his get that are entered in
these futurties the greater are his
chances OF achieving marked dis
tlnction AS sire. Self-interest,
therefore prompts brood mare and
stallion owners to give these futuri-
ties their cordial support"

Madison, April Ex-Governor La
Follette's long looked for message on
the freight commission bill was de-
livered to the legislature. The

every phase of the case and contains
an answer to the arguments advanced
by the railroads, explains the reason
of the opposition to the bill by the
manufacturers of the state. and then
gives tables showing that the freight
rates of Wisconsin are higher than
those of Illinois and Iowa. This done,
he seeks to demonstrate from the
financial reports of the st. Paul rail-
road company that had the earning OF
that company been s6,O00,00 less, the
company could still have paid its stock

Geary's famous Red Star Division of the
Twelfth Corps, and was distinctly Cleve-
land institution, most of its members be-
ing from that city. The sons of the
former members have organized them
selves into the 7th Ohio Memorial Asso-
citation, and adopted a constitution, which
declares the purpose is for keeping alive
the spirit which animated their fathers
and to preserve the name of the 7th Ohio
and to care for and cherish its relics. The
membership is divided into three classes
active, associate and honorary. The active
members are limited to male descendants
of members of the 7th Ohio. who shall be

ary members can be elected by a three

REMOVAL FROM KENTUCKY TO ILLINOIS
In 1898, because Of the baneful influ-

leave Kentucky. assigning rs his reasons
therefor: Il would get entirely clear of the
evil of slavery; could raise my children
where work was not considered degra-

An Old but Good Story of ventriloquism.
Philadelphia Times.1

The following story is told of ventrilo-
quist, now famous, but at the time of this
happening so hard up he used to walk be-
tween cities where he was to appear. On
one of these tours he came to Philadelphia
on foot, and on the road he picked up q
miserable little dog because it looked SO
much like he felt" The story will explain
what became Of the dog.
The first house he came to was q saloon,
and, of course, he wanted a drink. He
had no money, but went in anyway to see
what he could do. The proprietor, q Ger
man, said:
well, what will you haveY'
He said: I'm take a little whisky"
and then, turning to the dog, he asked:
What will you haveY'
"Pll take q ham sandwich"
The German was SO surprised he almost
tainted. He looked at the dog a moment,
and then asked:
What did you say?"
81 said ham sandwich"
Hans thought it wonderful that a dog
should be able to talk, and asked who had
trained him, how long it had taken, etc.,
and wound up with:
"How much you take for himT'
"Oh," said Mr.. Ventriloquist, 81
wouldn't sell him at any price. but am
a little hard UP now, and if you will lend
me $50 I'll leave him with you till bring
the money"
"An right" said Hans. II Just want
him for little while, so can show him
to some smart people l know around
here"
So everything was settled, the money
paid, ETC., and as the ventriloquist went
out he turned and waved his hand to the
dog and said:
"Well, goodbye, Jack. III come back
SOON"

$40 after all I've done for you! So help

"TOLERATING" THE FLAG.
Strange Ruling of Roman Catholic Bisl

strange Eullng OF Roman Catholic Bishop.
Considerable feeling has been aroused
by the following edict issued by Rev. John

Roman Catholic Bishop of San Antonio,
Tex:
"San Antonio, Tex, May 13, 1903.
"First-The National flag may be toler-
ated in the church during the functions or
ceremonies which concern the whole Ma
whole Nation or State; viz: On the occa-
sion Of National triumph, thanksgiving,
etc.
"Second-In the case of a funeral of a
soldier, the National flag wrapped around
the coffin may be tolerated in the church.
"Third-In this case it is also allowed
to carry the flag to and from the church,
but behind the bier or caisson.
"Fourth-It may be carried within the
cemetery.
"Fifth-At military burial, the GUS
the TAPS" is allowed.
"Sixth-The ritual Of the Catholic
Church alone is allowed. If the "Our

no other service is allowed afterwards.
