 Editor American Field:-When a man kicks. every one says 'Sorehead, < so it's useless to kick, for one gets no sympathy. But for the sake of discus sion we are going to kick. First we want some one to come out and tell us what shooting dog is? We went down to Hampton, Conn, to see the New England field trials and ineiden- tally to run shooting dog, "a meat dog"-.a plug shooting if you like, nevertheless a bird dog. There were three days of trials and never a point and nary a bird. One old farmer at the banquet volunteered the infor- nation that The knew where there were nine quails and that is all there are in the county.
 Well, we all went out and capered about among the rocks and pasture lots, while the followers on kicked up woodcock and grouse in the brush. The dogs didn't go into the brush too far, as they might have been called on to point, and that isn't field trial work. Some of them chased robins (and got in the money), others walse-pointed and were commended, but fortunately for the winners there were no birds, and 1t was 'leg it, you sinner" and keep out ol the way of birds
 Now the above is a kick, but we ac- knowledge we are wrong. We are ig- norant; that is all, We supposed New England shooting dog, thoroughly

Man Who Fell Down Simply Had t

Man Who Fell Down Simply Had to
 Fight.
 Because one man falls down and an- other man laughs at it is no reason why the former should whip the latter, and yet that Is exactly what happened on San Franciso street last Friday afternoon. And Furthermore it may be stated that the licking was admistered in the most approved style, though both combatants subsequently, found themselves in the calaboose. It happen ed because it had rained and the as phalt was unusally slippery. Other- wise black eyes and bruises for two would have been avoided
 Along came 8 cargador staggering under a heavey load held on his back by the head strap. His jig-jog trot was perfect and he ambled along with the most serene indifference to weather conditions. But a catastrophe was in store. A quick turn to avoid an on coming team caused him to miss a footstep. The next instant his heels were in the air and his head received D severe thump from the box which had
 
 head with it. He extracted himself and looked on with a most painful express ion of countenance- pained because of the shock administered to his dignity in. falling, Then his eyes lighted on a by stander whose face was wreathed in smiles. Before the laugh cough break forth, he had received poke in the face which caused him to turn around several times as if to ascertain what struck him. When he found out, the fight was on in earnest. Both were fairly matched and for ten minutes blows and blasphen1y were about evenly divided. Then the cargador got his man down and was handing him a few about the region of the eyes when the gendarne appeared. The next minute both were headed for the sta- tion. From the Mexican Herald.

Should Store the Water.

Every spring when the frcshots come.
great quantities Of water 10 down tho
streams that ought to be stored for irri-
cation. This problem is constantly before
the people. When tho hot suns. OF July
and August come. when the days. weeks
and months 60 by without drop Of rain.
when tho water in tho reservoirs is all
gone and hardly u suspicion Of water is
left in the streams. it is then we think Of
the millions Of cubic feot of water which
swelled the banks Of the rivers in the
sp-ingtime. Now damage. these floods
should be stored and thus become an as
set worth millions to the people. The
storing Of such great bodies of water is
too great a work to be dono. however. by
private enterprise, though our reservoir
systems are constantly growing. 1t must
be done by the government. Occasionally
we hear Of government intentions along
these lines. but the work seems to be ex-
asperatingly slow. It does seem that the
government ought to do something and
do it quickly to reclaim such a vast farm
ing country as las on the eastern slope of
the Rockies. when it may be done by as
sisting the people to conserve the water
supply. The product Of an empire could
thus be added to the worlds wealth.

me of the business of the two broom
makers OF Jersey City. Didn't you
ever hear about those two broom max.
ers?"
Mr.. Clews smiled. Then he went
on:
They were rivals In business. and
In their hatred OF each other they cut
rates until both were selling at star.
vution prices.
zone day they met on the street.
each with a load of brooms on his
back. They frowned at each other.
and then the man with the smaller
load said:
"'How Is it-tell me how It is-that
you can sell brooms cheaper than me.

How a Champion Athlete Is Made

1t is an interesting fact that our
champion all-round atnlete. Ellery II.
Clark, is, first of all, worker in the
ordinary business life OF his commun-
ity. Athletics are with him an amusc-
ment. He is not bunched-musclo
athlete and does not believe in appa.
ratus, and therefore his accomplish.
ments are possible to most men. 1t
was not the mere mechanical opera
ton of muscular force, so many move
mcnts to the right or to the left, that
won the championship. He won b.
cause his muscular action was doni-
natcd by strong mind, because it
was willed into concentrated effort.
as he said, to exert every atom Of
strength in a grand explosion" that
wins not only on the athletic field.
but in every field.
As Mr.. Clark himself puts 1t, 1t is
not the training, not the development
of muscle, not the diet that counts, it
Is the mode of flife.-Everybody's Mag.
azire for October.
