In the week Of September 10 to Is there
is a nice little struggle on between con-

Revere Club has lent itself to running a
show at Waterville Me-, September IL to

fair at that town. while the Bay State Co
operative Association has a show booked
for Waltham on the 18th and 10th. Tom
Middlebrooke is managing the Maine event,
and has Mr. Oldham as his all-reunder and
Mr. Myron W. Robinson for Boston ter
riers. Both are In good demand at present
and are undoubtedly popular. Waltham
will have Mr.. Mortimer as all-rounder. and
has a good Boston man as well. so who VIII

The Shooting Season.

being marked by announcements regarding
field trials fixtures. and one which Is OF
special Importance to eastern sportsmen
Is the Pointer Club meeting. After many
attempts to hold trials within hail of New
York the club this year goes to North Caro-
lima, where there are birds to be pointed,
and try out the dogs in a satisfactory man
ner. The Pointer Club has been steadily
working I'D in the scale as promoter OF
trials, and this year promises to be mem
orable in the history of the club.
Mr. c. F. Lewis, as secretary, Is doing
excellent work in advancing the CLUB and
is being ably supported by the members
1t is a club which all pointer men should
Join in order to advance the interests Of
the breed both in the field and at shows,
for the club covers both styles Of compe-
titon.
There was a time when field trials were
carried on not so far from New York, and
also within reasonable distance of Phila-
delphia. but those days are gone for. the
present l will not say gone by for all
time. for believe we will in course of time
reach the stage they have arrived at in
England. and. as the Londoner who has
shooting property does, run out on the rail-
road an hours trip and have better shoot
ing over dogs than can be had in the pest
bird sections Of the Atlantic coast.
The birds in England have become ac-
customed to environment that the Amerl-
can birds have not been educated up to. nor
has that respect for the property of others
in the way of birds for shooting become so
thoroughly recognized as it Is abroad After
a while. when there is no more free shoot
ing, attention will be turned to preserving
birds on cultivated lands, and then we Will
have nearby field trials, as they do in Eng
land and on the continent.

Washington Holds It's Own.

With New York and Philadelphia out OF
the running for home field trials, 1t is good
to note that Washington still holds its own
in a MARYLAND and District Of Columbia
club. This club will hold series Of trials
November 81 to %. and a decision as to
the location of this years trials has yet
to be announced. The committee in charge
of this important point is making thor
ough investigation before committing the

Mr. Morgan Buys English Collies.
Mr. ]. Pferpont Morgan has added two
English-bred collies to his kennel by pur-
chase from the well-known Mr. T. H.
Stretch Of Ormskirk. England. The names
of the new dogs are Ormskirk Artist and
Ormskirk Tytonnian. Mr.. Morgan's check
for these English dogs is said to have been
up to four figures. which means $1,000.
If Mr.. Morgan could not make champions
out of his English dogs he would not buy
them, and he would spend his money on
American dogs which could do all the
English dogs do-that is, win. An English
breeder can get $1,000 from an American
for dog no better than he could buy for
500 or less here. but he prefers being made
to pay at least treble price for something
made In England to encourage the improve
ment of dogs in this country.

ton of the heart, misery after eating,
hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheu-
matte pains in the back and hips. The
doctor did me so little good that gave
up his treatment, and really feared that
my case was incurable
"When began taking DR.. Williams

my food no longer distressed me, my
nerves were quieted to degree that T

CARE OF BLANKETS.
SPECIAL TREATMENT NEcES-
sARY FOR BEST RESULTS.
Done in the Right Way, No House
keeper Need Dread thu APP
proach of the Regular Day
for Washing.

AS the immortal stump orator re-
marked, eve have blankets in our
cwadles, blankets in our twibs, blan.
kets in our four-posters," and having
blankets so prevalent" it behooyes
us to keep them clean.
Now, many otherwise excellent
housekeepers dread the annual blan-
ket washing simply because they un-
derstand little or nothing of the art
of blanket securing, as the Scotch
call it.
They usually resort to one Or the
other of the two very bad methods,
and either send the blankets to pub
lie laundry, where they may be made
white and clean, but will certainly
shrink, or they have washerwoman
in, who upsets the whole household,
washes the poor blankets very badly,
and leaves them hard to touch, very
grimy to behold, and some sizes small.
er than they ought to be.
Require Individual Care.
Now, if one lives in the country,
where a garden, or field, or good dry
ing ground is close by an excellently
appointed laundry, big annual orgie
of blanket washing may be advan-
tageous, though 81 hae me doots"
about that.
To the ordinary housewife, who has
neither the space DOR the appliances
nor the necessary pumber of servants,
it is far wiser plan to send one blan-
ket to the wash every week, or two
if the washing is light one, and it
is always necessary only to wash one
at a time, otherwise blankets shrink.
They cannot be treated en- masse
as linen or cotton things are, but
must be done speedily and thorough
ly, and dried on fine hot day, ont Of
doors, but not in the hot sun.
Right Kind of Lather.
A warm soap lather must be pre-
pared from soap jelly made the day
before, and little ammonia, either
lump or liquid, must be added to this.
and the blanket allowed to soak for
about a quarter of an hour to extract
the grease. Then it must be kneaded
and squeezed until the dirt is all loos-
ened, and, if necessary, pat through
two, and even three, fresh fathers.
The next process is rinsing, which
must be done in warm water, and if
no soft water has been obtainable, a
little ammonia to each rinsing water
Is great advantage.
When rinsing is over 1t is impor-
tant that folding should be even and
exact, and then the wringing through
a machine will act as mangling Also
Shaking well after rinsins, and then
pegging carefully to clothes lines in
the open air, and shaking occasionally
by two persons while drying, are the
final processes, except the 'last and
final" stretch between two persons
after they are quite dry, in order to
keep them to their proper size.

NAPOLEON'S MANY ESCAPES
Reckless of Danger, the Great Soldier
Was Wounded Many
Times.

In reply to the question in what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger Of
losing his life Napoleon once said, I'm
the commencement of my campaigns"
Indeed, if further proof were demand
ed to show that he did not spare him
self at Toulon 1t is only necessary to
add that during the ten weeks of its
siege Napoleon, in addition to bay
onet wound in his thigh, had three
horses shot under him, while at the
siege Of Acre during the expedition to
Egypt he lost no fewer thxa four In
the same manner.
During the last days of his life,
when captivity, disappointment and
sickness had we'll nigh completed their
work, it is said that the agony of his
fatal disease drew from him on many
occasions the pitiful cry of, why did
the cannon balls spare me?"
During his long military career Ma
poleon fought 60 battles, while Caesar
fought but 80. In the early part of his
career he was uttrely reckless of dan
ger while on the battlefield, and this
spirit of fearlessness contributed large
ly to the love and esteem In which he
was held by his armies. There was
curious belief among the English in
Napoleon's time that he had never
been wounded, and indeed the report
was current that he carefully if not in
a cowardly manner refrained from ex-
posing himself. Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was in
reality several times severely wound
ed, but as he wished to impress upon
his troops the belief that good fortune
never deserted him and that, like
Achilles, he was we'll nigh invulner-
able, he always made a secret of his
many dangers. He therefore enjoined
once for all upon the part of his i'm
mediate staff the most absolute silence
regarding all circumstances of this ma
ture, for it is almost impossible to call
culate the confusion and disorder
which would have resulted from the
slightest report or the smallest doubt
relative to his existence. Upon the sim
gle thread of this mans life depended
not only the fate and government Of
great empire, but the whole policy and
destiny of Europe as well.

JAPAN LAND OF JvecLERs.
Old Wizard Amuses Dinner Guests by
Pooling Foreign Skeptic.

Japan is the land of jugglers and
fashionable Japanese always have
them at any large entertainment they
give. One very clever old man goes
around in single cotton gown with
two baskets full of properties" over
his shoulders, and, putting them down
anywhere, performs his tricks, with
the expectant audience encircling him.
A hatful of coppers rewards him suf.
ficiently and he goes on to eat hre,
disgorge eggs, needles, lanterns and
smoking pipes at the next place. At
recent Japanese dinner foreign
guest determined to have no optical
illusions about what the jugglers did.
He never allowed his glances to be
distracted and was not once of his
guard. Noticing this, the old juggler
played to him entirely. An immense
porcelain vase was brought in and set
in the middle of the room and the
juggler, crawling in, let himself down
into it slowly. The skeptic sat for
half an hour without taxing ais eye
from the vase, which, he was con-
WINGED, was sound and firm and stood
on no trap door. After this pro-
longed watch the rest of the company
assailed him with laughter and jeers,
and pointed to his side, where the old
juggler was seated tanning himself
and had been seated for some min
utes.

Chicken Bouchee.

Here is recipe for one of the deli.
cacies of the season. Roll out some
puff paste about quarter of an inch
thick, cut out-by means of round
paste cutter-as many rounds as are
required, place them in baking sheet,
and mark the center of each round Of
paste with smaller cutter. Brush
over with beaten yolks of eggs, and
bake for 20 minutes in a fairly hot
oven. Remove the lids, scoop out
some Of the soft part of each patty
and fill them with minced chicken
mixed with enough white sauce to
moisten the mixture. Replace the
lids, dish up, and garnish with fried
parsley If this is done with care it is
not difficult, and it would be strange
palate that did not find it delicious.

Plain Spoken Man.

One of the candidates for governor,
in speaking to friends of his trip to
the sticks" of north Georgia, declared
that some Of the good folk in that
part of the state evidently were no
more familiar with the dictionary than
the old woman who said it was good
reading, but that she didn't like the
story.

said the candidate, when. everything
was going smoothly and / thought the
audience well under the spell of my
eloquence, spoke Of the gubernatorial
race as though it were already won.
When I mentioned the word 'guberna-
toriaI an old Inountaineer shuf-
fed to his feet IN the rear of the
building, and after waiting until l fin
ssned the sentence, declared in his
piercing voice:

SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com.
plant, lnfantile Eczema-Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.

sour baby had that dreadful COM
plant, infantile Eczema, which afiict-
ed him for several months, commenc-
ing at the top of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that ever
beheld, prior to the treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle

The Caravan Cure.

One of the many "cures" favored by
fashionable people weary of London,
is the caravan cure" This simple
and enjoyable method of renewing
ones strength consists in travelling
about Britain In cart, such as the
Gypsies have, and camping out at
night wherever haven can be found.
Lord and Lady Arthur Grosvenor
have spent the summer journeying in
this fashion through Exmoor, a wild
and mountainous country, made
famous by the great romance, Lorna
Doone. One night they encamped on
the farm of John Ridd, of the novel.
The difficulties in hill climbing have
been enormous, but the pleasure OF
the trip has made it worth while.

"L'ave that to me-" replied Police
man Flynn.
The real conflict came two days
later, and it was not Policeman Flynn
who sent in the call for the patrol
wagon. He was too busy. Something
had happened to rouse one Of the fac
lions to action, and it started out in
search of the other, while Policeman
Flynn hastily made preparations in a
side street that the mob would have
to pass, but where he was concealed
from view as it approached. Others
had leisure to call the wagon, how
ever, and 1t came on the run.
Policeman Flynn was found stand
ing like conquering hero, leaning on
the big nozzle to lead of hose that
he had borrowed from his friends in
the engine house on the corner, but
otherwise the street was almost de-
serted.
