The Shelton Clipper says that a
whole lot of the members of the leg
islature will be turned down at the

sent them to Lincoln and voted every

a man be turned down for being loyal
to the interests of those who employed
him?

The Beef trust issued another defy"
to Teddy and the grand juries last
week. The price of beef was raised
from two to five cents pound. Por-
terhouse steak right in the shadow OF
the great South Omaha packing houses
and all over the west, will hereafter
retail at 20 cents pound. Sirloin
has been raised from Is to Is cents,
round from IL IL to Is cents, shout
der from 10 to IL IL cents and rib
roast to Is cents. The price OF pork
shops was raised to Is cents a pound.
What will Teddy do about it? Nothing,
except to order Garfield to make an

President Roosevelt might do some
thing to prevent race suicide besides
talking, if he would turn his attention
to the slaughter on the railroads.
Every year there are more people
killed and wounded on the railroads
than were killed and wounded at the
battle of Gettysburg. The railroads in
England carry twice as many passen-
gers on less than half the mileage OF
the United States, with less than one
tenth the accidents. In England life is
valued higher than profits.

81 The beef trust figures that it will
not be very long before the people
who have to pay 20 cents for porter
house and Is cents for round steak,
will be bowling for the government to
call off its dogs of war and let the
trust alone. If they don't the trust
will put up the price few notches
higher. The stupidity and humility Of
ia majority Of the people give r
grounds for the belief of the trust
! that that is the way to bring the gov
eminent to time.

A cHOcTAW GAME PRESERVE.
Scheme to Protect the Indians WILD
Animal Haunts.

Scheme to Protect the Indians Wild
Animal Haunts.
Several sportsmen of Ardmore are
game preserve in the Choctaw Nation.
The proposed preserve will be Il OF
the greatest in the world. The park is
situated in the Choctaw country, ten
Arkansas and Choctaw. The park will
embrace over 100 600 acres. The coun-
try is mountainous and practically I'M
settled. Sportsmen who have hunted
in many parts of the United States and
Canada declare that there is 10 spot in
all the country that will appeal more to
the man or woman who loves nature
in its virgin state than the proposed
preserve in the Choctaw Nation. which
is said to be the natural haunt and
home of every wild animal known in
North America. The land will be pur-
chased probably from the Government.
1t is appraised at twenty-five cents per
acre, but the promoters are willing to
pay a great deal more to acquire it. 1t
is intended to construct a fence twelve
miles square. or a total of forty-eight
miles around, of woven wire game
proof fencing, and establish in each
corner a keepers house to protect the
fences. It is said that the park will
not be menaced by trespassers, as the
inhabitants of that section are peace
full and law abiding citizens. Six hun
dred and forty acres, or one square
mile, will be turned into q park and
beautifed. A two-story building Of
pine and stone, with a porch of at
least twenty feet surrounding the
building. will be built. The house will
be especially constructed for the com.
fort of the members. The first floor
will be an immense living room and
will contain two big Hreplaces. The
second story will be used for sleeping
rooms. 1t is also proposed to construct
an artificial lake near the clubhouse
for pleasure and sport.-Kansas City

AWAY DOWN TOME.

IT will not be long before they hear
The bull-bat on the hill.
And in the valley through the dusk
The pastoral ~whippoorwill.

The bluets through the loan,
The buttercups and daffodlls.
Away down home.
"Knee-deep.," from reedy places
VIII sing the river frogs.
Terrapins will sun themselves
On all the jutting logs.
The anglers cautious oar will leave
A trail of drifting foam
Along the shady currents
Away down home.
The mockingoird will fee. again
The glory OF his wings
And ant through the 5almy air
And sunshine while he sings.
With a new cadence in his call
TIE glint.wing'd crow will roam
From field to newly furrowed field
Away down home.
When the dogwood blossoms mingle
With the naples modest red.
And the sweet arbutus wakes at last
From out her fragrant bed.
'Twouid not seem strange at all to meet
A dryad or 4 gnome
Or Pan Or Psyche in the woods
Away down home.
Oh. come with inc. thou weary heart!
Forget thy human ills.
Since God has come to walk among
His valleys and His hills.
The mart will never miss thee
Nor the scholars dusty tome,
And the mother waits to bless thee
Away down home.

8 often unreasonable. but no amount
If reasoning will close up the little
,ne's mouth so effectually as a warm
stream Of milk trickling down the in
Iantile throat. There are some chill
iren who e to think that this
should be at hand instantly. and for
such instances as this a Philadelphia
inventor some time ago devised a
stand which would hold the nursing
bottle in such a position that it would
be always at hand and always in q
convenient position for pulling on the
contents thereof.
Another scheme to accomplish much
the same purpose forms the subject Of
the accompanying illustration, which is
the invention of a woman. This idea
consists Of connecting the bottle to the
frame Of the bedstead or crib by means
of a piece Of flexible tubing. One end
of the latter is supplied with a means
for clamping the arrangement securely
to the crib, and the other end is fitted
with a shell-like arrangement for
clasping the bottle. BY this mean the
bottle is always in reach Of the young
ster, who has but to reach for it and
thrust it in the mouth-an accomplish
ment which is learned very early in
life by the little ones.-PhiIadelphia

MOISTENER FOR GJMMED SURFACES.

Most Of the machines referred to re-

erative that it is said to be economical
in the end to do the work by hand.
For those compelled to do the work
in this manner, it is a great comfort
to have the essential moisture handy,
and a recent inventor provides the
meal Of placing this literally at ones
finger end. The device consists OF a
small water reservoir fastened to the
back of the hand by a tape and con-
nected by a small length OF rubber
tube to a thimble of absorbent ma
