TOY DEER FOR RICH TO HUNT
Clarence MarLRy InstnIIs Mechanical
Animal on Long Island Estate.


Even in this age Of eXtravagapt me
chanical contrivanceS ii Is doubtful
whether any toy has been constructed
so unique and costly as that which
Clarence Mackay recently has had in
stalled OH his estate at HarbOr Hill.
near ROsslyn. on Long island. says the
New York Press. Shooting galleries in
which rabbits, pigs and lions bob up
and disappear In front Of screen n
dozen feet away to tempt and test the
aim OF spOrtsmen have long been IA
miliar 10 visitors to Coney Island and
other similar resorts. Clarence Mackay
has constructed in the widest part of
his big estate regular railway TO fur
nish him the same sport on u scale and
in a manner that are absolutely true to
nature.
The railway, which runs in an irree
ular ellipse and is operated by electric
ity. is mile long and goes winding in
and out among the woods and broken
ground with all the seeming irresponsi-
bility OF wild animal. The wild ami
NAL is provided in the shape of Il life
size deer. mounted on u small bogy
truck. At speed which can be reg
ulated at any pace up to ten or twelve
miles an hour the deer is carried
through the woods. and as it appears
at the different openings that have
been cut among the trees along the
route OF the railway Mr.. Mackay and
his sporting friends get chance for
Just such u quick shot as the hunter in
the Maine woods has TO rely on 10 ill
his bag.
At the end of the run the truck passes
over an automatic switch which shuts
off the current, and the deer comes to Il
standstill in a sheltered pit. where Il
marker is posted. He notes the places
where the deer has been hit. telephones
by means OF special wire laid down
for the purpose the results Of his aim
to the man with the gun and then, as
soon as he has pasted piece of can
vas or brown paper over the wounds
that have been made. is ready TO start
the deer OF again to run the gantlet
of the marksmen second or a third
time.

used to call her Makaile Nikolaievitch.
In short, she became quite accustomed
to her position, and sometimes she for
got even that she was a woman.
Smolka recently arrived at Hardin
to look after some business connected
with her regiment, and she showed Il
very practical business spirit in dealing
with IT, She had to make some impor-
tant purchases. AS she possesses no
female attire, she has been the butt OF
certain ladies at Hardin. However,
she pays no attention TO their remarks.
Quite recently she appeared at the the.
alter at Hardin. She was wearing her
ordinary uniform. During one Of the
intervals Smolka walked deliberately
into the ladies' retiring room, and OF
course the presence OF soldier caused
a great deal of bother. for the ladies
took the young amazon TO be an officer.

A Revolver For the President.

President Roosevelt has 4 new weap-
on for his armory in the gift from
Mart Allen. brother OF The" Allen, of u
revolver of service only to Its owner,
says Washington special dispatch to
the St Louis Post-Dispatch. Attempts
TO fire it unless one is familiar with its
combination are vain. Allen invented
this peculiar type of firearm while a
convict in Sing Sing prison. The idea
was suggested when two fellow CON
victs escaped by obtaining the ward
ems revolvers and holding him Mt bay
by threatening him with instant death
If he interfered.

He heard his loyal people cry
Like children TO saint:
Help. little father. or we die
We starye and freeze and faint.
The noble hears not for his crimes.
The SOLDIER for his drum.
The procurator for his chimes
At last to thee we come.
Tomorrow. with a faithful priest
Gods best gift to the poor
A throng shall stand. as at Il feast.
Before thy palace door.
And that with favor Il be crowned
The prayer we bring to thee
Shall to the holy cross be bound
As Christ on Calvary.
And wives and children. too. shall come
To move thy piteous heart
And when thou seest them. pale and numb.
Thy ready tear shall start.
We blame thee not: how couldst thou
know.
With courtiers trained to hide?
But thou wilt hear; our daily woe
Shall WOO thee to our side"
Then the good angel OF the car
Spake with n sibyrs voice.
Let no mischance this moment mar:
IT'S sent thee TO rejoice
Go meet thy people as they trudse
Toward thee their weary way.
To find In thee a righteous Judge
And go unarmed as they
Enough through centuries Of wrong
Thy lines inverted fame
The Romanoff has been too long
The synonym OF shame.
Then haste TO meet the cross attr.
Do thou what courage can.
And thou shalt be the greater car
II thou but show thee man"
He rose resolved. but-fortuue dire
One glance his purpose crossed.
An impulse from some recreant sire
Triumphed. and he was lost
The flower Il trampled in the sod.
False dawn delays the day.
And once again the will OF God
Marches the bloody way

And we all must see TO that duty
Ere we hear the dread Trump Call.

Al you tread the streets of the town
Should you witness deeds OF cruelty
Don't pass them by with a frown.

To stand up for beast and for bird
And speak outright with main ant

YOUCAN SCRATCH

Out the blot which defiles the clean
white page of a ledger, but you can't
scratch out the poisous that defile the
blood. 1t seems rather that YOU scratch
them in, and the irritation grows worse
with each new attempt TO relieve it.
There is only one thing to do in such
case, and that is to entirely cleanse the
blood from the injecting poison.
People who have suffered from dis
eases caused by impure blood, or blood
poisoning, have found in DR.. Pierce S
Golden Medical Discovery certain and
enduring cure. Lotions and liniments
may alleviate, but they cannot cure
The disease is in the blood, and the cure
must be in the blood also. vColden
Medical Discovery eradicates from the
blood the impurities and poisons which
breed aud feed disease. 1t increases the
activity of the blood-making glands, and
SO increases the supply of pure, rich
blood, which, nourishing each organ,
builds up the whole body in health and
strength.
The cures effected by "Golden Medical
Discovery are positive and permanent.
In many cases OF disease, such as eczema,
tetter. pimples, eruptions and rheuna-
usm, AN effectual cure has been found in
DR.. rierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
after ali other medicines and means had
failed to help or heal.
Sometimes dealer tempted by tile
larger profits paid by less meritorious
medicines will offer the customer a sub
stitnte in place of Golden Medical Dis
coyery" claiming that he knows it to be
'just as good" There is nothing gained
by trading one thing for another which
is only Just as good" There is every
thing to risk in trading the Discovery"
with a worlds record of cures for sub
stitute with nothing but the unsupported
claim OF an interested dealer behind it.
If you are sick you want to be cured |
That's why you want Golden Medical
Discovery and nothing else
There is no alcohol in the rDiscov-
cry" and it is entirely free from opium,
cocaine, and all other narcotics.
