by the legislature Of Indiana which pro-
hibits a person from "depriving any ami
NAL of any natural means of defense or
protection" The object of the measure Is
said to be the abolition of the practice of
docking horses tails, but it is capable of
a great many interpretation. For in
stance the farmers hesitate to dehorn
their cattle, step deemed necessary to
protect the herds. This measure was evil

 The rain which fell at intervals was a handicap to the performance and a great discomfort to the people who re- mained at the park to see the show through.
 The unexpected showers of rain frustrated any chances of beginning the performance early. The managers promise to start the Fall of Port Ar thur" more promptly tonight and dur ing the remaining performances.
 The cratic car service of the Mont gomery Street Railway prevented the bulk of visitors to the park from reach ing the resort at comfortable hour. On account of the snapping of the troll ley line In the truck-farming lands about half a mile before entering the park long string of cars loaded with passengers was delayed for upwards Of an hour. When the passengers altght- ed from the cars upon reaching the shed the arrival was signalized by terrific downpour of rain.
 All luck operated against the efforts of the agents behind Port Arthur" and the effort will be repeated tonight under better circumstances.
