HORSE DENTISTS NEEDED.

A bright young woman who at
tends the horse shows remarked to
US that she believed many horses
indicated suffering from diseased
teeth by restlessness and other
forms of "bad manners" On CIV
ing the subject consideration one is
led to the conviction that this is
not only true, but that there is also
room for much improvement in vet
erinary dentistry. About the only
treatment prescribed by the ordi-
nary veterinarian and sometimes
practiced by the coachman or
groom, is floating" or filing the
teeth which have become worn down
on one side and leave the higher
side sharp and sometimes jagged.
But we never hear anything about
filling the teeth, or otherwise treat
ing them, especially if they or the
gums be liberated, beyond pulling
them out. As the young woman re-
ferred to also remarked, "What ex-
cruciating pain it must be to have
a cold steel bit put on a sensitive
tooth, or possibly on a nerve ex-
posed?" There are many reasons
for a horses misbehavior, adds the
Rider and Driver, aside from his
"bad temper"

Then let him take some old window

When found, let him spray it, then
bring up a dry plate of glass behind
it and lift it from its moorings. In
about two hours the web will be dry
and SO hard that the plate can be

A well dressed man, whose gen.

indicated his recent arrival in this

the Grand Central station. When
he reached the window he asked for
one ticket to ''Rocky Sland."
"Try the next window" he was
told, and, gathering up his belong
ings, he took his place at the end
of another cue.
"One teecket, Rocky Sland," he
said when his turn came.
"What place-ticket to where? ?"
the clerk asked, to the distress of a
long string of people who had just
a minute to catch their train,
"Rocky Sland, Eelinois," said the
foreigner, and the ticket agent di-
rected the officer outside to show
the man where he could get ticket
for Rock Island, and for the third
time he became the last man in a
long line.

Who said Gettysburg was not
progressive? It has surmounted
many opposing obstacles and
gradually gone from one achieve
ment to another until it has now
arrived at a need of a solicitor
for the benefit of our municipal
ity, and our council in the exer-
else of its wisdom, and to secure
the best results obtainable has
found the needed commodity out
side our limits. 1t is believed by
some that this is all right. What
ever we get ought to be the best
to justify the wisdom of the ac-
ton. There may be some among
us somewhat puzzled with the
question whether home attain
ment did not advance as fast as
the needs of the village advanced.
Surely we have no small number
of persons here whose natural
talent is large, and whose at
tainments are abundant and var
ious in both ordinary and extra
ordinary affairs, and ought to be
equal to almost any emergency.
The only possible solution for this
action is a suspicion that we are
on the brink of some high classed
and numerous public improve
ments which will require extra
ordinary legal talent to secure
method and proper direction.
Well, this is once that Gettys-
burg attainments has felt itself
unequal to the occasion and rele-
gated itself to the rear to be di-
rected by what it was believed
could not be found, vizSZ wis
dom that is indigenous and a
bounds plentifully in the limits
of our classic village. There are
those among us, and thus it ever
is, who suspect that our treasury
is too plethoric, and something
must be done to reduce the sur
plus; and we are not without
fault-fnders, who have employed
their imaginatiOns as to which
would be the more needed, legal

There was a good deal of COM
ment recently, after the western
trip of Mr.. Bryce, the British
Ambassador, over some remarks
he had made concerning the con-
stitution of Oklahoma, a docu-
ment that has created considera-
BILE heartburning and jealousy in
this country and on which Am
bassador Bryce's opinion would
be valuable even if not altogeth-
er proper for a man in his sta
ton. There was talk in some of
the yellow papers about the gov
ernment asking for his recall on
the ground that he had trans
gressed automatically. Now the
exact language of the interview
on the Oklahoma constitution has
been produced, and it sounds very
conservative and harmless. Mr..
Bryce said that from all that he
had heard of it, the constitution
was a very interesting document,
that he had not had time to read
it so could not give a personal
opinion and if he could it would
not be a proper thing for him to
do under the circumstances. Mr..
Bryce is new to the ways Of the
American interviewer, but it does
not seem that he is much in need
of having a guardian appointed
for him.
1t is quite possible that some
action will be taken by the gov
ernment against the railroads
that have been transporting
troops recently. They have been
charging the government for first
class service, whereas they were
furnishing old and inferior cars,
the very worst of their whole e.
quipment. When the matter was
called to their attention, they
claimed that the Interstate Com
merce law would not allow them
to make any difference in the
fares. AS matter Of fact, there
is a special provision in the law
for second class payment being
made for inferior service and the
matter may be turned over to the
Department of Justice for settle
ment.

the loss, accused her son and his
father told him to get what art

willingly gave them up, and re-

The Oil King at Court.
BY LEO.


peared at court in Chicago, ILL.,,
to give Judge Landis information
anent the earnings of the Indiana
branch of the Standard Oil Com
pany. The latter concern had
been convicted of rebating, which
! is in violation of law, and Judge
Lands of the Chicago Federal
court wanted to know, before
assessing the fines, how much
the culprit company would be
able to pay. The oil king was
supposed to know all about the
earnings of the criminal concern,
but it turned out on examination
! that Rockefeller knew little of
the company's affairs, and there
fore Judge Landis pumped in
vain at the dry we'll.
Did the aged man know? It
is probable that he did not ex-
actly. Mr.. Rockefeller is nom-
inally the president of the New
Jersey Standard Oil Company,
but for several years past has
taken no active interest in the
management of this wealthy con-
Germ. He takes his dividend,
very large, doubtless, and let's the
boys" run the business. What
need he bother as long as the
concern earns and declares forty
per cent. dividend per annum?
The connection between the
New Jersey company and the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
is simply that of ownership OF the
bulk of the stock by the New
Jersey company. And, of course,
since Rockefeller is merely the
nominal head of the New Jersey
Standard Oil Company his con-
nection with the Indiana branch
is more shadowy still. In fact,
he may have told the exact truth
to Judge Lands when he said
that he knew hardly nothing of
the management Of the guilty In
diana company.
Mr.. Rockefeller, in answer to
the judges question anent the
annual earnings of the New Jer-
sey company during certain years
stated it to be about 40 per cent.
"a very large income from a
capital of one hundred millions.
This annual profit appears alb
normal simply because of the
hugeness of the capital. Many
smaller concerns make larger rel
ative profits, but on a smaller
scale. For instance, take a drug
gist, jewelry or notion store, DO
they think forty per cent. per
annum an enormous profit? Pro-
bably not. They may realize
much more, and yet, no fault is
found with them. A peanut
stand may beat the Standard Oil
in percentage on sales.
The Standard Oil Company is a
huge concern doing an enormous
business at home and abroad, and
forty per cent. profit is. very
large increment, but in smaller
concerns that make that much or
more the profit appears reasona-
BILE.
The government of the United
States has no power to determine
and order how much profit a bu-
siness corporation may lawfully
take. Any rule governing the
larger concerns must also govern
the smaller Concerns. A peanut
stand would be as subject to such
a rule as the Standard Oil Com
pany

Marion Boy Has Been
Most Successful.
Today He Stands the Peer of all
Ventriloquists Playing Only the
Big Cities.

The Toledo Blade has the following
to say about Edward F. Reynard, the
well-known vaudeville star, whose
real name is Edward Sharpless and
who halls from Marion:
Edward f. Reynard, the peer OF
all ventriloquists, is having gay
time this summer. Putting aside
thoughts of work, he purchased a
large touring car and with his wife
left New York few weeks ago for
a summer pleasure trip. He went to
Mt. Clemens without mishap and
took the baths for a while, although
the doctors objected to him being
around, saying he looked so healthy
that people would get the idea that re-
sort wasn't for invalids.
AS brown as berry, he pulled In
at the Farm last night to stay few
days. Every summer he spends a
part of his vacation with Mr.. Han
ner. 1t has not been long since Ed.
played the Farm summers, but now
nothing will tempt him to play sum
mer dates. He doesn't have to, for
he plays forty weeks in the biggest
house sat a salary several hundred
dollars larger than. any ventriloquist
receives, as he has an elaborate act
now, with figures worked by electric
! ity, and carries quite large COM
any. Lou Hammer tried to tempt
him with offers of large salaries to
play a week in Toledo, where he is
mighty popular, but Ed only smiled
and said it wouldn't be treating the
automobile right
After taking all the good runs
Iaround Toledo. he leaves for Indian
lapolis "to shoot Indiana" and then
tours back TO New York. He hopes to
establish record and not break a
tire all the way. He admits having
broken one OF the ten commandments
already. WhioS one he doesn't say,
but as he's an automobllist it's easy
to guess.
Before Sharpless left Marion. a num-
ber OF years ago, he drove a milk
wagon and was stage hand at the
Grand Opera House.
