sequences. If you have short
breath, fluttering, palpitation,
hungry spells, hot fushes; il
you cannot lie on left side; If
you have fainting or smother
ing spells, pain around heart,

Suicide of Animals.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
 The supposed suicide of animals raises a subtle problem and to deny it is to fly in the fact of deep-rooted popular belief. It is just as much a natural history myth. however, as the hoary headed belief in the adder swallowing it's young in time of peril, the toad living in a stone nedule for thousands of years, or the gerninat- ing powers of mummy wheat The most ancient felo de SC verdict of the myth mongers- relates to the habit of scorpions digging their stings into their heads when unable to escape from fire.
 Experiments have proved the fallacy of , the scorpions suicide, notably those car ried out some years ago by Dr. b. Ray Lankester, director of the natural his tory department of the British museum and Professor Bourne of Madras. Scor- pions were confined in an extremely hot place. from which escape was impossible and their frantic gymnastics wore care fully studied with serene and phi1osophic complacency. As in the case of the tor tured rattlesnal1e biting it's own body, the action of the scorpion in an apparent attempt to put an end to it's sufferings by stnging it's head was purely muscu- lar, and Dr. Lankester himself compared the action to the biting the dust attrib- uted to men who die i'll hand-to-hand struggles, or to the biting of their own hand or arm by unhealthy children in a paroXysm of anger.
 That animals bring about their own deaths by violent and abnormal actions is certain, but if all the contributory causes could be ascertained it would prob ably be found that they did so under the pressure of some torturing pain produo- ing hysterial madness

nee River Nelly Gray, Yankee Doodle, Dixie and wound Up with the Star spangled Banner The multitude ap- plauded and l made my share of noise.
 While the band was playing this pot pourri the cop asked:
 "sWhere are you from When l told him he said You can get up on the fence if you won't stay too long. I'm from the United States myself
 T gave him a cigar, and we got chum- my l told him to thank the leader for me. and tell him that he had made me feel as if l was not very far from home.
 T guess he knows how it is himself. said the cop. He's from the States, toe. He lives in Boston, and comes over here in the summer to give the band lessons. He told me once that although all the members were Canucks. they learned the American airs quicker than any other
 After the concert I took a seat in conveyance that took me back to my hotel It was crowded, and I sat beside the driver He was very polite, and I asked him if he was a Blue Nose.
 Not by long shot he replied. I come from Woonsocket k. I. I'm lip here to skin these canuclzs, and I'm doing it all right
 Then indeed felt as if I was not far from home"

Favorite Dishes of Public People.

Miles Bradford in "The Charm of Old
 Fashioned Dishes" in The Bohemian
 Magazine for November
 Lloyd Osborne's favorite dish is an Irish stew Edwin Markham is a frugal eater who loves the simple old-fashioned foods best of all. Hall Caine prefers tne plain, country fare to anything that he can obtain at the best hotels and Jerome K. Jerome assured his friends during his recent visit to this country. that he feared that the American cooks would kill him with their rich dishes. If left to follow his own incllnations, he would never eat anything more complicated than a grllled steak, or a chop, or, at the most, white bait as 1t is cooked at Gravesend- where the dimnutive fish are merely dusted with crumbs before being fried, quickly and crisply. in deep, boiling fat. Pork, In other forms besides that of sausage, has been the favorite food of many men who have acquired a reputation by their literary achievements. Julian Hawthorne has lauded the merits of scrapple. and ham, prepared in one style or another, is highly esteemed by such writers as F. Iopkinson Smith, John Fox. Jr., and Charles c. D. Roberts. as, in fact, 1t is by almost everybody who has once enjoyed the privilege of partaking of ham that has been daintily reared. delicately cured, and cooked by a tur- baned 'mammy'' in the south
 | Cyrus Townsend Brady is extremely fond of bacon whether it is served alone, with eggs. or as an accompaniment to calves liver. Dr. Brady is also an enthu- siastic supporter of beans as an article of diet and, in this respect, he is fully m accord with Morgan Robertson, for the latter Is so fond of beans that he has himself invented a method of cooking | them.

 "You are not always in a foreign coun- try when you are out of the United States" said a man who was exchanging experiences with friend just as the or chestra finished playing q medley of Amer ican airs. That number recalls an even ing in Nova Scotia last summer.
 "I was held up In coast town one evening, waiting the arrival of belated steamer The only attraction in the place was an open air concert by the town band, and I stroled out to kill time The members of the band wore the rcd uniform and the British colors were sus- pended from the front of the stand

 While waiting for the music I chatted with the cop. The band got busy and played several numbers. all foreign airs
 Then I asked the cop if he knew the leader He said he did. l asked him to butt in and tell the leader that an Amers- can was in the crowd. and that he would like to hear something from home.

HoBoES' PARADISE.
City of Manila Retreat for Weary
 WIlies Who Scorn to Work.

From the New York Times.
 "Theres been a Weary Willie on every corner in Manila all the time for a long while" said soldier of the Twelfth in fantry, yesterday. The soldier was dis cussing d communication recently sent to Secretary of War Taft by the chief of the bureau of insular affairs, in which the chief informed the secretary that the time was at hand to solve the prob lem of how to drive the "hoboes' out of Manila.
 For years every merchant vessel that has touched at the great Philippine port has left behind her a tramp or two, and now the city is simply overrun by them. According to the soldiers who have just returned to this country from the island, the hoboes have become serious imped- iment to the progress of the islands. Not only do they come in merchant vessels, but in the army transports as well, man. aging despite the officers, to stow away in the vessels. It is impossible to detect
 them until the ship is well out to sea. Then they apepar on deck to ask for something to eat
 Captain Davis, adiutant on Governors island who recently returned from the Philippines said yesterday that Manila's unemployed seemed to have landed there from the four corners of the earth. Among them are a great many Ameri- cans, but all the other countries have large delegations. When a consul in the Orient gets an American hobo on his hands he immediately sends the vagrant to Manila, as a consular passenger, that port, unfortunat tely, being the nearest American possession.
 What the private soldiers say of the Philippine Wandering Willies' Is couched in strong language.
 "He aint even jolly like some of the species you see in this country" said one soldier, land he's so lazy that he won't even knock a mosquito off his nose. Then they're the funniest dressed fellows you ever saw. For instance, you will see fellow wearing a soldier hat an old blue shirt with more holes than cloth in it, that some soldier has thrown away, and a pair of those funny looking trousers that the poor Filipino wears. As for shoes, he wouldn't wear a pair if you gave 'em to him.
 "What do they do? They don't do any thing. They're too lazy even to try to do somebody else. Lots of 'em marry Filipino girls and then if they ever even thought of work before, they forget all about it for sure. The wife works Ho- boes have to be fed, you know, and the bride has to find grub for both.
 Before I left. Manila had become too small to hold the hoboes, and they had scattered through the islands. Today you meet them everywhere you go. I've seen em in Iloilo, Panay, and on Luzon from end to end. They are always the same, no matter where you see 'em. Sleeping when they are not eating, and eating whenever they're awake.

MARK sMITH's SUCCESSOR WAS PICKED.

While Mark Smith is fighting Ari- zona's battles at Washington, his un~ grateful constituents at home are planning for T. C. Norris to succeed him. Norris is one of the most prom inent Democrats in the territory and his candidacy for the congressional nomination was announced at the an nual banquet of the Northern Arizona Bar Association, held few nights ago at Prescott Norris will have the support of all of Wilson's old follow CTS and will receive strong support | in both the north and south. Smiths followers do not look with favor upon the announcement made by friends of Norris at the Prescott banquet i Tucson Post.
 The Courier man attended that ban
 quet and can say Mir. Norris was no
 picked" there, although as the newl! elected president of the Northern Ari
 zona Bar association, he conformed t
 the custom of paying for the banquet
 which the newly elected president ha so far done. The only action takel
 at the bar association banquet havini the least political significance was protest against joint statehood.-Pre; colt Courier.

Considering that on account of floods
 the first territorial fair was held dur
 ing the holiday week, the large asten
 dance was remarkable, as during the
 Christmas holidays people generally , desire to remain at home and enter.
 tain Santa Claus and pertake of the joys of the childSen.
 The preparations for the first fair entailed large amount of work and those who had it ia hand are entitled to the thanks of tue territory. The original date for holding the fair. was too late in the season, but this was because of the vast amount of work to be done; buildings hSf to be erected, racing tracks had to he made and line of street railway had to be constructed to the grounds All this required time and. frequent rains during the summer and, fall. afser she work began, interferred with it.
 1t would be better to fix the date for the annual fair nos later thar the middle of October in the future. as at that season it is nsr likely ts be interfered with by bad weather
 The racing last week in Phoenix brought some excellent horses, and the time made was equal to the record on any track in the country. In fu. ture, however, We woud, suggest tfiat the racing money be appropriated more HberaIiy to contests in which horses onEy should com pete The large sums put up for pac- CTS and trotters last week were uDt within reach of Arizona horses.
 The Arizona fair proved to be a territorial affair, and all who had aI hand in its promotion are deserving of prsise.
