Adamson recently had an experience
that he would not like to undergo
again. Readers will remember the
death from hydrophobia, Of John
Calhoun at Nevada q couple OF
months ago, whom II required sew

had at one time been employed by
Mr.. Adamson, who thought a great
deal Of him, and was beside him In
his final paroxysm, assisting to con.
troll him. In trying to tie the unfor.

an operation on bis skull, was not

Ing to Superintendent Walter C. G.
Kirchner, who was present during the
entire operation. Doctor Daniel F.
Hochdoerfer, coroner's physician,
who conducted the post-mortem,
agreed with the report Of the super.
intendent that death had resulted
from paralysis Of the pneumogastriC
nerve, but thought it was from On
overdose OF the aneethetic.
Doctor Kirchner denies this. He
says that all precautions were taken,
and that the same paralysis Of the
nerve that leads to the heart and
lungs Is constantly q source OF iesi

occurred, and will occur again, Doc
tor Kirchner says, because the physi,
clan never knows what patient will
be affected as was young 0'Neil.
The boy was takeh to the hospital
August 20. His skull WAS fractured

The operation had been finished
when the pulse stopped short. Re

were tried without avail. The nerve

THE LAW AGAINST KILLING.
Deep Rooted Feeling Against

Animals.

From Ernest Thompson seion's "The Natural
History Of the Ten Commandments" In the
November Century.

against murder In most animals.

Wild animals often fight for the

mates, but In virtually all cases the
fight is over when one yields. The

In various parts OF our country,
and especially in that Middle West
OF which St. Louis Is near the center;
there has grown up pharaisic sys-
tenn which not only add to the pre-.
cepts OF God the commandments OF
men, but ehbodies them In legisla-
tive enactments, with penalties for
violation OF them. That the Presi,
dent did not knuckle down to the
powerful influences that would i'm.
pose this system on unwilling voters
is to his credit. The most useful ex-
ample any man can set is the ex-
ample OF doing what he thinks Is
proper. A hypocritical example or
one exhibited from Interested mo.
tives has no value. The President's
example rs a very abstemious per-
son in daily life isgood. His example
In drinking champagne at St. Louis

2.cENr FARES 70 CONTINUE.
Railroads Will Not Be Ready For
49,
Litigation For Five Months.

X. o. Star.
The railroad attorneys now say II
willtake until December to compile
figures and decide whether they will
fight the enforcement Of the two-cent
fare law.
The people Of Missouri will have
%he benefit Of Ave months experiment
with two-cent fares even II they do
not obtain the rate as a permanent
condition. The returns for the three
months, July, August and Septem-
Der, were to furnish the basis for f1g
ures on which the litigation could be
carried on later. The railroad peo-
pie expected them to ask for an in
junction to prevent the state from
enforcing q law that would confiscste
their property.
The fret railroad that had occa-
sion to use figures was the Burling
ton. In some litigation In North
!, Missouri il was necessary to know
the receipts for local passenger ser.
vice In the state for the month OF
July. The auditors Office prepared
the figures, and there was surprise
when Il was found that the receipts
for July, 1907, were greater than
those for July, 1905, on local traffic
only. Part Of this was due to the
fact that in early July there we're no
through rates on the two cent basis
and passengers going from the west
to points beyond the Mississippi
would buy to Kansas City, then buy
to St. Louis and at st. Louis buy
tickets for New York, Washington or
other points east.
But no ono was prepared for the
discovery made by the Burlington
people. 1t is not likely that the final
D figures will show that there has been
an actual increase in cash receipts,
but the Burlington experiment indi-
Gates that the actual decrease could
not have been large. The discovery
hes taken MOST Of the fight on this
Nubject out Of the railroads, though
tAe Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
people say their receipts have de-
creased at every station 10 the stete
except Excelsior Springs, where there
has been an increase because the rate
of$1 for the round trip to Kansas
City was taken off and the regular
two cent rate was substituted.

Letter to T. =. Mcssath,
Gainesville, Fla.

Dear Sir: We should like to set
your boys and girls at work on this
question IN arithmetic and casuistry:
A farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care, and are fed
in these three ways; first hog, on a
certain proportion OF milk and cooked
cornmeal; second hog, on the same,
half water, third hog, on the same,
half water and sawdust. How long
will it take, how much viii they
weigh, how much will they cost, and
whatll the profit be on the three?
And a similar question In pigmen-
try. That same farmer is going to
paint three barns same size; and he
says to three painters: "whatll you
take to paint that barn?"
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says: 'Il do II for
$50"
Second painter: "s75."
Third painter: "$97.4S."
VIII they each get a barn TO paint,
or one get two. or one Nan three, or
nobody any; and what'n they make
on the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes.
But there IS a way TO reckon: So a
gallon. The difficulty is in knowing
how many gallons 70 buy. There's
way out OF that.
Buy the least.gallvns paint, Devoe.
No matter how much one buys; he re-
turns what's left; costs nothing.
