KNEW WAYS OF TURKEYS.
Texas Hunter Got His Sleep and

Some years ago l was the guest of
a friend who owned a ranch away

1t was well along in the afternoon be

then. with an apologize smile, he
said: We won't have to wait long
now, for this is the place the turkeys
come to roost, and all we will have
to do is to hide and shoot them down.
1t was Just as he said, and about sun

The Horse Teaches the Man.

While there is no royal road
to learning the game of polo in its en-
tirety, there is a plebian way that
leads straight to its secrets, says a
writer in Country Life in America.
Let the novice get on an old broken
down polo pony that knows the game
all the way through from a lifetime
OF playing. Then the pony will play
the game for him and will be his
teacher. The learner will start in
with few strokes of his malet till
his seat and guidance are assured,
later his aim and strength of stroke,
and gradually he will work into regu-
lar play. Then like other faithful
teachers the wise old horse Will be
superseded, but his work will live.

MARVELLOUS GIFT OF BIRDS.
Homing Pigeons Able to Make Their
Roosts in Pitchv Darknesa-


Although birds are not placed near
the summit line Of evolution. their

Their mysterious power OF changing
their polarity or weight in order to
dive in water or fly has been often
discussed and the almost incredible
velocity Of their motion when migrat.

miles a minute for vast distances, has
no parallel among other animals. A
series of careful trials with carrier
pigeons reported from France shows
apparently without doubt their pos
session of highly developed sense
of direction.
1t was supposed that homing
pigeons depended upon sight to find
their way. but these experiments have
been conducted between Ceremes and
Roam in the darkness of night. In
twenty minutes the first bird, dis

VERY RICH PEOPLE.
Estimate Of the Wealth Of American
MuIti-MiIIioraires.

Henry Clews has made an estimate
of the wealth OF number Of million
aire capitalists OF the United States.
in which he places John d. Rockefeller
first and Andrew Carnegie second.
This is the table he has formulated:
John D. Rockefeller, $50O.000. 900;
Andrew Carnegie. $ll5,oo0.0OO given
away, leaving s25OOOO,OOO; William
Waldorf Astor. chiefly in real estate,
5000. 1000 900; John Jacob Astor. $115,-
100000; Gould family. of which George
Gould's personal fortune represents
s35 900 900, $50, 900 900; Marshall
Field. s1OO 900 900: Blair estate. $780,
100000: w. X. Vanderbilt, $50 900;
Russell Sage. SS000O,0 900; d. o. Mills.
s75 900: William Rockefeller, $751;
100000; ]. Pierpont Morgan. 100000
600: James J. Hill. $60.000,000; Henry

ford. $2O.00O.000; James Stillman. $15,-
100000: George F. Baker, $15,OOO.OOO
Mr.. Clews admits that his list is by
no means complete. but says that 1t
undoubtedly contains the names OF the
very richest men in the country.
Prominent among the well known
capitalists who are not included are
the members OF the so-called Rock
Island "crowd"-William II. and ]. H.

English Motor Vehicles.

Motor vehicles for carrying or haul
ing heavy loads are now SO much used
in England that their operation is
closely guarded by government super
vision. United States Consul Mahin
at Nottingham has made repor- on
the subject. Hitherto" says he. the
legal weight limit of an empty motor
car has been three tons. Now II is
raised to five, with an increase in tine
legal joint weight (unladen) of mo-
tor car and trailer from four to six
tons. Heretofore there has been no
legal weight limit to the Dad on a
motor car. but the new regulations aim
to prevent excessive loading. The To-
tai weight of car and load Is limited
to twelve tons. The weight borne on
any axle shall not exceed eight tons

THE ENEMIES OF SUCCESS.
Endeavor First to Ascertain and Then
Overcome Them.

Bright. cheerful. hopeful thoughts
and strong belief in ones own abi.-
ity to accomplish the thing undertak-
en- are friends that will insure sue
cess. The ambitious person should
learn as early in life as possible to
pick out the friends and enemies OF
success and in many cases 1t will be
found that the greatest enemy re-
sides within himself. Morbid thoughts,
for example, are infinitely greater
hindrances to success than opposition
from outside. and no health. no
beauty, no harmony, no real success
can exist in the atmosphere of ab-
normal melancholy or morbid ideas.
Overcome the enemies to success
within yourself and you will have
done much toward reaching the goal
of your ambition.-London Answers.

Were Good for Both,

Paulding. Miss, May 15th.-(Spe-
ciaD-In this neighborhood men and
women alike are telling of the great
benefit they have received from the
use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and it fire..
quently happens they are the means
of curing members of both sexes in
the same family. Take the case OF
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Erby. The latter
voices the sentiment OF both when
she says:
MY lips cannot express too much
praise for Dodd's Kidney Pills. l suf-
fered with Backache and Female
weakness for four or five years and l
feel that l have been wonderfully
helped by Dodds Kidney Pills. MY
husband, too, was sufferer for FIVE
years from weak bladder and they
also cured him."
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys. Healthy kidneys mean pure
blood and good health all over the
body. No woman with healthy kid
neys ever had female weakness.

Policemen and the Devil.

The printers devil is well-known

ers could not have done without, he

printers in these days are not as a

than they are if the profession" were
not immemorially associated with
monks and friars and chapels and

Judqe Who Was JaiIbird,

minded that Chief Justice Pemberton
was in his youth imprisoned in the
Fleet for debt. While in Jail he took
to studying law. and in time the 9TH
er prisoners came to look upon him
as an authority and nicknamed him
Counsellor" He bought books with
fees they gave him for advice and
came out of prison sharper at the
law, having prevailed upon his cred
itors to such an extent that they
thought he would sooner pay his debts
if set at liberty. He was called to
the bar, became puisne judge, and
was made Chief Justice on the dis
missal of Scroggs.-Law Notes.
