JOHN S. WILLIAMS Def.

John Sharp Williams throws down
the gauntlet to the republican party
in this wise:
eff YOU don't revise the tariff, we
will If you don't admit Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory as one state,
we will If you don't pass just and
reasonable rate bill, we will
Mr.. Williams means that if the re-
publican party does not do these things
the people will send up a democratic
houcse pledged to get them done. Mr..
Williams threat is, of course, partly
buncombe, because the democratic par
ty could not accomplish anything with
out the senate, and the senate could
not be turned over to the democracy
inside of six years. Yet it is undoubt-
edly in line with the sentiment of ,he
country when he intimates that these
are things which the people have on
their minds to be done and that they
will be extremely Disguised with
party having both branches of the
congress and the president, which
fails to put them in the way of COM
pletion The republican party has
lost the house in the inter- presidential
campaign before this, because of its
failure the legislation desired by the
people.
1t is not out of the realm of prob
ability that it will happen again.
The senate has dallied with the rate
bill long enough. The people now
understand that it has been debated
as long as debate adds anything to
the stock of knowledge on the subject.
Further talk merely leads to irrita-
ton, especially talk upon technical
questions. The people do not expect
the senate to be a whole congress and
a supreme court rolled into one. Mel
ton of the senate in smothering in
committee fiscal measures which have
been passed by the house by the vote
of both parties This has been done
with the Philippine tariff bill and is
threatened with the free alcohol bill.
The holding up Of the latter measure
by Senator Aldrich is such plain sink
ing of the interests of the people be-
fore the greed of the Standard Oil
company that if the republican senate
permits him to have his way not only
is there reason to believe that the
house will be lost this fall, but serious
inroads may be made upon the senate
next winter

his attenuated bosom made hole
through which the forces of reform
rushed in bowling triumph.
After telling the house some of his
personal experiences in distributing
Seeds he said:
You see, gentlemen, when you get
down to the ground floor, this money
does the poor man, whether black or
white, a good deal of good. 1t enables
him to have his little onion patch his
lettuce patch and a pea patch, and
thus we aid many a poor man TO raise
vegetables which help him to round out
his fat stomach"
Anyone with an ounce of brains will
agree that the Hon. John Wesley had
the right of it, Why should not the
government use this money when it
does so much good? The only question
that can arise is why the government
should confine itself to the distribu-
ton Of seeds.
Consider for a moment the good that
might be accomplished by the distri-
button of sewing machines. Think of
the tired women who in this great land
are bending over seams to the detri-
ment of their health, and picture to
yourself the same women gaily
treading a first-class sewing machine.
the gift Of the nation, which enables
them to accomplish without effort in
a few minutes what formerly involved
hours of painful labor. Or think of
the clerks in stores who are every day
wasting their vitality in adding col
umns of figures when the government
by sending each, with it's compliments
an adding machine. could enable them
to have leisure for a golf club for
which the government would, of course,
Tic UdllS Va
consider for a moment the poor men
who are not employed, who have no
land to cultivate and no regular jobs
What gladness could the government
bring to them by the gift of seeds?
None. What would a present of adding
machines or golf balls be to them?
Nothing at ALL But there is a COM
modify which all men can use and
which the government appears to be
loaded with-money. All men can use
that. Why should not the government
make semi annual distributions of
cash? We feel sure that there is only
one reason why it has not been done.
The Hon. Wesley Gaines has not sug-
gested it. But this neglect cannot con-
tinue. The genius whic has rescued
the farmer from the grip of the seed
trust will not pause until he has re-
deemed the common man from the
clutch of the money trust.

THE MOTHER ANTELOPE.


Wonderful Manner In Which She
Provides For Her Young.
The manner in which the mother an
telope protects her young until they
are old and strong enough to join the
full grown bands in their wanderings is
an interesting and wonderful instance
Of natures providence. These beauti-
full creatures live in an open country
infested by all kinds of enemies and
especially prowled over by the coyote,
the gray wolf and the timber wolf,
kinds of animals. yet the mother can
easily protect her babies from the
6ercest of these marauders. The enc
my most dreaded is the soaring eagle.
There is a variety of cactus, prick
~ plant which grows in great abun-
dance all over the western plains,
which furnishes her the means for this
protection. Horses, cattle, buffalo and,
in fact, all animals know the danger of
treading on this plant. 1t grows in
large patches some four or six inches
in height above the ground and forms
a thick mat varying in breadth from
the size Of the top Of a mans hat to
many feet. 1t is in the center of one of
these patches that the female antelope
prepares place Of safety for her
young. The thorns of this cactus,
while very poisonous and terribly pain
full to every other animal, for some
reason are almost harmless to the an
telope. The cactus may lacerate her
legs. making them bleed freely, but
neither the stickers nor their poison
remains, while other animals seldom
bleed, but retain the poisonous stick
ers in their wounds until they become
malignant sores. causing excessive
and long continued suffering.
When the antelope has selected her
patch of cactus. backing away few
feet, she will make a running jump.
bounding high in the air and alighting
In the middle Of the patch. with all
four feet close together. the hoofs
pointing downward. Then. springing
out again and repeating this operation
until she has chopped the roots of the
cactus plant to pieces. she loosens and
clears space large enough for stand
ing room. She then will enlarge it by
paving and digging with her sharp
hoofs. Here she gives birth to her
young in undisturbed security. know
ing that she can leave them in COM
parative safety during the day and re-
turn to them at night to give them
suck. Should it be in locality where
eagles abound. however, the mother
does not venture far away. as the soar
ing eagle often swoops down on the
young. taking them away If she is not
there to do battle for their ives.-H.

When person has been bitten by Z

Then an incision is to be made over the

well rubbed on. Permanganate of po-

for men and women of wealth and
courage The count himself is regard
ed as the premier aerOnaut of the
world as he has taken the longest trip
ever made in a balloon and has re-
manned aloft the greatest number of
hours of any one. The count once
jOurneyed in balloon from Paris to
Kiev, in Russia, between 1900 and
1900 miles. in thirty-six hours, and
with the assistance of the French gov
eminent he steered a balloon over the
Mediterranean sea, travelling 1855 miles
and being up forty-twO hours. He was
the first aerOnaut to cross the English
channel from Paris, an extremely diff
ficult task on account of the air cur
rents.
The count brought three balloons to
this country for the experimental
flights under the auspices of the Aero
club. One of these is a dirigible air.

besides the operator. For the type of.
over water he has special steering
apparatus, and in one Of his trips over
the Mediterranean he used this so skill
fully that he landed his balloon on the
deck Of the torpedo boat which was
following him. In his trip from France
to Warsaw he slept in the clouds at q
temperature far below zero, and his
companion had to hammer the soles Of
his feet with club to keep him from
sleeping too long and freezing to death.
The count has Travelled more than H..
600 miles in the clouds, and in all his
ascents, numbering about $50, he has
never met with an accident, though he
has had many narrow escapes. He is

sport for gentlemen" and he claims it
is less dangerous and more exciting
than racing automobiles. In the as

Che New
Balloon Craze
and Its Hims

"HE sad fate OF the French aero
naut and sculptor, Paul Noe
Quet, who lost his life on the
shore of Long Island recently,
has not discouraged the aeronautic en-
thusiasts of the Aero Club Of America
In their efforts to popularize the science
Of navigation Of the air. At the very
time that Nocquet, after landing sue
cessfully from his balloon upon the
beach of a small island, was pushing
his way through marshes, swimming
creeks and dragging his weary body
through deep mud and sand, lured on
by the lights of distant village. his
friend, Count Henri de la Vaulx. was
giving an illustrated lecture on bal
looming before the members Of the
Automobile Club Of America at its
clubhouse in New York city. Those
who listened to the counts graphic de-
scriptions of his many voyages In the
air and admired the stereopticon views
Of his trips over the Mediterranean or
the English channel little thought that
the young artist who had taken up
aeronautics with such enthusiasm was
even then making vain battle for his
life. When the body Of Nocquet was
found lying in the mud and oOze where
he had fallen from exhaustion In seek
ing to make his way to human habita-
lions, the comment of his friends was
that his death was needless, that he
had made successful landing from his
balloon and would have been alive still
had he laid himself down to sleep in
his basket and proceeded to the main
land in the morning. The task Of cross
Ing the marshes and creeks that lay
between the ocean and mainland was
too much for his strength.
Count de la Vaulx declared that
NOcQuet was a novice in ballOOning,
that his trip was taken against the ad-
vice of the Aero club and that his bal
loon was primitive affair. There have
been several ascensions under the au-
spices of the club, but this was not one
of them. The Aero club was organized
last autumn as an OffshOOt Of the Auto
mobile Club of America and is chiefly
composed of men who have been prom
inent as autOmObilists and take an in
terest as amateurs in ballooning Count
de la Vaulx came to this country with
the view Of giving it's members the
benefit of bis extensive experience in
aerOnautics. He looks forward to the
time when sailing through or above
the clouds will take its place beside
