The hunters" are on Chestnut street again, with game in hand, look ing for the gullibles. They appear there each year as sure as the au- tumn leaves. It is tempting to see a "real hunter with big, fat birds, and the banker, broker or general busi- ness man cant resist buying just to surprise his wife. But there's mer- chant on Chestnut street who doesn't take much stock in most of these buckskin hunters. Speaking of them the other day, he said: "Oh, yes, they have got nice buckskin suits, big hats, top boots and nice looking guns, but, do you know those guns are not load ed all season. I'll tell you why. The only hunting that these hunters do is to hunt for game down on Dock street The men generally work in pairs, and after picking out four or five birds go home and put on the hunter costumes and take their posts on Chestnut street. They make a good profit on each bird, and their work Is as easy as the customers. If you will notice, their hunting suits are always clean and neat, showing they never went through the brush or marsh. - Philadelphia Record.

TAME FOXES.

A friend of mine in the Midlands, a young doctor with natural history pro- clivities, has two young foxes in a roomy pen in his stable yard. They were taken from the earth in private wood. within reach or which there is no hunt. One of the pair managed to get out of bounds lately, and, becom- ing bewildered by the traffic in the main street of the busy little market town, it ran hither and thirther, a ter TOT to some and the butt of others who tried their best to kill the poor beast. The fox, however, got the bet ter of all it's punsuers and ran off Into what is locally termed 'the upper country beyond, so that all trace of it was lost until the groom who had been attached to the little beast had the happy inspiration to take out the bull terrier in search of it's playmate. Bully led in the direction of park four miles away, and within it's gates the terrier quickened it's pace, and barking

TURN1p WATCHES WENT OUT.

When the neat man takes unto him self a watch as thin as parchment he little thinks that that thin watch re- suits from army regulations. Up to the time of the allies taking Paris the ordinary watch was convex in shape and called from it's outline a 'turnip." The officers of the Russian and other armies objected to this because it's bulbous form made the uniform of a man on parade look untldy, whether 1t were carried in the coat or the fob. There in Paris, however, they found that the watchmakers of the Palais Royal had contrived 8 chronometer which got over the difficulty,
 Flat watches were the fashion in Paris. The English when they ap- peared in the streets of the French capital marched in not in gala dress such as the others wore, but in the raiment which they had worn on campaign Great was the impress sion which their habiliments created. But they at once adopted the smart flat watch and brought it back to England for our own manufacturers to copy.-London Standards

The keen Hebrew was the only person who knew better and he bought enormous ly. at the wreckage prices, and the great, victory announced a few hours later made his purchases extraordin- arlly profitable and the prominence of the Rothschild house was then estab- lished.

The statement that autos are to be used in the German army and that therefore warllke autos may collide, has suggested to wide-awake French man the advantage of auto tourna- ments; and the mind begins to fill it. self with the awful spectacle of mon sters in weight rushing together with the speed of the wind!
 Will it be possible to invent and construct an armor which will make the life of the driver even decently secure? A knights armor of the mid dle ages would evidently be inadequate. French ingenuity may be depended upon to solve the difficulty. Seats about the Champs de Mars can be ar ranged for half a million. How mag nifcent will be the sight Football and bull fighting will be relegated to the past.
 France is in a pickle, very strong and biting pickle and, what makes it worse, pickle of her own brewing. Some time ago when it seemed as if Germany proposed gobbling up Moroc- co, the nations most seriously inter- ested assembled at little town in Spain not far from Gibraltar. Ger many came to and stated that she had no desire too gobble, but that her mer- chants must be protected in their en- terprises and that anybody might gob- ble who would do the protecting. After each nation assembled had had it's say 1t would finally decided that nobody should gobble; that France and Spain being the two nations chiefly concern ed should do the protecting; that for that purpose they might land troops, but that the troops could only act as | police, strictly on the defensive, and under no circumstances could they be advanced into the interior, France chose to regard the decision as a diplo- matic triumph, Germany had been thwarted, the emperor had been snub- bed French politics were once more to the fore, etc, etc.

Paris. Oct. 1, 1907


 Editor Journal and Courier:
 It's all very well to take your life in your hands semi-occasionally. A life devoid of risk, or danger, from start to finish would be dull, uninteresting; not heroic, or romantic, hardly worth liv- ing. But to be obliged to take your life in your hands every time you go out of doors; certainly every time you attempt to cross a boulevard, the Champs Elysees, or any of the wide streets of Paris, is quite another and a very serious matter
 Every graduate of Yale who took the higher mathematics understands tra- jectorles. If to his theoretical knowl- edge has been added sufficient experi- ence on Broadway and Fifth avenue, he is safe from the onset of vehicles approaching with reasonable and regu- lar speed He should be able to see at a glance where and how to avoid a number of them though approaching from different directions and with yari- ous degrees of speed, provided the speeds are steady and the directions unchanged If crossings were spread out on charts the crosser might be amazed at tIe skill he had acquired. But this skill will be of little avail in Paris. The roadway of the Champs Elysees is twice as wide as the road way of Fifth avenue. It is divided into three sections. The middle and widest section is reserved for autos. Therein they rush and roar to their heart S content without limitation of speed, or of erraticism of trajectories. The other sections are reserved for vehicles drawn by horses. The expert from Yale who succeeds in traversing one of the side sections and who advances boldly into the central station with conf1- dence begot of conceit and ignorance will at once find himself the target ot whirling monsters, each regarding him from the selfish point of view of fiat tening" it's average of killed and wounded.

road. from Minnesota to Seattle.
1t will thus be perceived that by the time
the government gets ready to put the
screws to the Standard Oil that trust will
be provided through this western system
and the roads In the east which II has
bought. as we'll as by its pipe lines. to serve
the major portion of the country with oil.
and there is not the least doubt here that
the Standard will soon be found. for selfish
reasons. the most strenuous opponent Of re-
bateA in the country.
1l1eed 1t Is the common belief in this
STATE that the Standard will not only op-
pose rebates. but that 1t Will stand for the
maximum rate on oils. no matter whose oils
are being shipped. For the slaughter Of
competitors rebates are not necessary when
you own the railroad over which your COM
petitor has to send his goods. or if you can
have uniformly high rates on all roads for
everybody, and can ship your own goods
over your own roads.
What matters 1t whether the profits are
made on fretghts or on oils. so long as they
come into the octopus pocket anyway?
There Is fine field here in this western
country. also. for the federal government to
satisfy itself as to the ultimate end of
things. II the Standard Oil crowd Is per-
mitted to go ahead and work its will In the
acquisition of business monopolies and pub
lie utilties. Here in Montana there is scarcely
line of business carrying a profit in which
the standard people are not engaged on a
big scale. Mining is their leading pursuit,
of course, but they also follow raiiroading
numbering. banking and general retail and
wholesale trade.

tions Change,

The Commissioners decided yesterday
afternoon to refuse, for the present the
Potomac Electric Power Company permis-
sion to erect a substation at the northwest
corner Of Sherman avenue and Harvard
street northwest. The residents and prop
erty owners in that vicinity protested
against the plant being erected in their
neighborhood. upon the grounds that it
would be a nuisance and a detriment to
property interests. 1t was pointed out
that the block in wiTich the company pro-
posed to erect their substation is an "ex-
cl'lsively resdential one, and 1t was in
view of this fact that the application for
permit was refused
The company has been informed by the
Commissioners. however. that If a new
apple alton Is made. and the consent of
two-thirds of the property owners within
200 feet Of the proposed site is obtained.
or If. In the meantime. the block ceases
to remain an Exclusively residential one
