Dave Lane, a one time influential po-
litical boss in Pennsylvania, one day
walked into the assembly room just as
a henchman of his was in the midst OF a
speech in which he made bitter at
tack on pet bill of Lanes. He held it
up as the most reprehensibe measure
ever presented to that body for action.
He tore il to tatters.
Just as he was reaching his perora-
ton, Lane strolled into the Assembly
chamber He listened for minute,
and then walked down the aisle in
which the statesman was speaking.
"That's my bill" Lane hissed, as he
passed the speaker.
That clever person did not pause. He
finished his peroration. Then he ex-
claimed dramatically: 'These, gentle
men OF the Legislature, are the argu-
ments the opponents of this measure
will bring against this meritorious en-
actment. These are the miserable sub
terfuges to which they will stoop to de-
feat this measure. These are the err
rononeus reasons with which they will
try to win support against this measure
Having thus referred to them shall
now proceed to show you how utterly
untenable and fallacious they are"
This reminds us OF an incident related
of Henry Ward Beecher. He walked
down the aisle of Plymouth church
one warm Sunday morning mopping
the perspiration from his brow, and, as
cending the pulpit, remarked in voice
that everyone in the audinace could
hear: ''It's as hot as hell, " and after
slight pause ''those were the words
heard on my way to the sanctuary this
beautiful Sabbath morning.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
he had the undivided attention of his
congregation during the sermon he
preached that morning.

DR.. Andrew Stephenson, head OF the
history department in Depauw Univer-
sity, Green Castle, Ind, has promul-
gated rule for his department which
is arousing much comment among the
students. DR.. Stephenson is a great
admirer of red coloring. Addressing
the class the other day he said:
''You all, of course, know that red is
the only color in my opinion. l have
decided to make a new ruling for my
department next term, and | will ex-
pect all the students to abide by it.
This new rule is that all male students
must wear red neckties and the female
students must wear either red feather
in their hats or gown of that pretty
color. Just remember that when you
matriculate next term, and if you do
not like the departments idea in the
matter you had better not enter"

LIES ABOUT HUNTING
Pennsylvania on the stand with Three
Big Ones

Ohch
The following comes from Laurel and
the perpetrators of it are entitled to
the laurel wreath.
among all the deer hunters in this
section Charley Yeager and Rube My
ers are known as the human blood
hounds. They lately trailed wound
ed deer thru the most inaccessible
parts of the mountains and slew it.
The deer. fine doe, had been wounded
by another member of their hunting
party and when Yeager and Myers ar
rived on the scene only a few drops OF
blood indicated the direction it had
taken. Soon the signs of blood on the
fallen leaves were lost This offered
no obstacle to such experienced woods
men. They called into play another
faculty highly developed in all expert
hunters. Their delicate nostrils caught
the scent OF the deer and they erept
thru the brush with such accuracy that
their companions were astonished.
Over the rocks and across streams they
went in pursuit, guided alone by the
sense of smell. 1t grew dark, but they
never faltered AT one spot another
deer had crost the trail, but it only de-
layed them a few minutes. 1he two
scents were distinguished and that of
the wounded animal was followed.
Finally, in thick swamp so overgrown
that the hunters had to crawl on their
knees, the doe was found and single
shot brought it down"
This one, from Leepers Cross Roads,
might be true, but it isn't:
"Few hunters have such luck as
fell to Squire Faber. He had not been
in the woods twenty minutes before he
had killed a large raccoon, and on his
way back he shot two gray squirrels.
He made a second trip and this time
still using his shotgun, be brought
down six quails at one shot In the
afternoon he went out with his rife.
Walking along the lower edge of hill,
he noticed a rabbit about twenty yards
above him. He fired and the rabbit
fell over dead. Then he was surprised
to see fine pheasant drop at his feet,
while on an opposite hin a fine 10
pound deer rolled down thru the brush,
shot thru the heart. After killing the
rabbit the ball had glanced, killing the
pheasant in the air, and continued to
the hill where it found a mark in the
deer"
This from Cold Springs will amuse
the children:
0 Some person had told Doc Sheaffer
that he could get deer by putting salt
on their tails, and having failed to get
any with his new automatic rife he de-
cided to try the suggestion. Getting on

white skin Grated on Negro Turns
Black

That the skin OF a white man grated
upon the body of a negro will turn
black has been demonstrated at the
city hospital IN Seattle, says the Post
Inteligencer. The discovery was made
in the case of Isaac Spears, colored
boy who was badly burned about three
months ago.
Spears was burned about the arms
and chest. When it was found, after
he had been in the hospital for some
time, that it would be necessary to per-
form a skin grating operation, there
was no colored skin available and the
skin of a white man, who had under
gone an operation, was used.
Before Spears left the hospital an ex
animation was made by some of the
doctors and they found it was only with
difficulty that they could distinguish
between the skin which had been bor-
rowed for the colored man and that
which had grown around il as the re-
suit of the grating process. The skin
that had been white was very dark and
the doctors believe that it will continue
to grow darker until it and the rest of
the colored boys skin are OF the same

An amendment to the free alcohol
law has been introduced in congress by
Senator Hansbrough which has for its
object the creation of small farm distil-
leries so that the farmers may get the
benefit of cheap fuel, light and power,
without having to go to the big distil-
leries where they would sell their farm
products at small figure and buy back
the denatured alcohol at high price.
This feature of the free alcohol law is
one which has aroused considerable
criticism and it is believed il the prob
lem of small farm distilleries can be
satisfactorily solved it will mean a
great deal more popular satisfaction
with the measure.

When Captain Ducross of Darien, an
old sea rover, was arrested because he
punctured the fiippers of sea turtle
and made it fast to his boat house on
Long Island sound, he declared that he
believed the justice of the peace who
fined him 81 and costs was wrong, and
appealed the case. He maintained that
the turtle was not an animal, and that
punching hole thru it's fiippers ard
tying him up was no more an act of
cruelty than mailing a shoe to a hoof
would be cruelty to horse. The
charge was nolled and Captain Ducross
left the courtroom yesterday elated.-

Fifty-three years of mountain life had
put no chill on the ardor OF Ballard
Cole and Mrs. Nancy Jane Wiseman, of
Cumberland Gap, Tenn, who ran away
from the wrath OF their own children
and came here today to be married.
The ardent couple report that they had
been forced to walk several miles across
the mountains TO where they could get
aboard a train and escape their pur-
suing children. who thought that the
elopers were too old TO know their own
minds in the matter.-Chicago Record

wealth Restores sanity

While attorneys for heirs of the late
George Wells, a millionaire of Grundy
Center, Ia, were preparing to fight the
will because it left sl50,000 to Ralph
Wells, an insane brother, the latter re-
gained his reason. Wells has been con-
fined in the Rochester, Mimi, hospital
for nearly twenty years, and is about
eighty years old. He had been de-
clared an incurable. When news of
the bequest reached him he began to
compute the interest and his mind re-
covered.

the lee side he crept up noiselessly un-
til he could touch the animal. Then
just as quietly he withdrew a handful
of salt and scattered it over the deer's
tail. The buck, aroused by tickling
sensation, reached around and began to
lick off the salt. Now, it is fact that
if there is anything deer likes it is
salt, and so pleased was this animal
that it tried TO get the salt from Docs
pocket. The hunter started toward
camp, the deer following. When the
deer got within 100 yards of the other
hunters it was shot with ease.

The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists are
unanimous in the conclusion that the
generally accepted limitation Of human
life is many years below the attainment
possible with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its dura-
ton, seems to be between 80 and 90; the
proper care of the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures
