MO MORE SHOW THAN A RABBIT.

To see a rabbit scamper along I'M
iii the hounds are almost upon him
before he realizes his peril, to see him
race madIv against pursuers that are
twice as fast, and finally to see him
dodge wildly with two enemies to dis
count his greater agility, may be a
fascinating sport to those who fol-
low it. It is said to have been a
favorite diversion of royalty for hum
dreds Of years. To the uninitiated, 1t
looks like a spectacle designed to pam
der to a vitiated taste. If the rabbit
IS to be considered at all, the sport is
lacking in the first principles OF fair
play, which is the essence of sports
manship. The cOursing is done on a
level, enclosed field, where the rabbits
chance is reduced to a minimum. Two
or three small escapes placed at the
far end of a field are only an aggra-
walton, as the rabbit doesn't know
where they are and if he stumbles up
on one of them he hasn't time to dodge
through before the dogs are upon him.
About one rabbit in four escaped
the day the writer watched the
proceedings, but 1T was explained
that the hounds used in the opening
event were only pups. Real sport was
promised upon the appearance of the
older dogs later on. The announcer
explained that 1.-THE coursing is con-
Quoted to test the speed and working
qualities of dogs that are worth up to
81 600, that the rabbit is not worth con-
sidering and besides many sportsmen
fill birds full of shot and leave them
TO die a lingering death" Nevertheless
coursing. as seen at the fair grounds
that day, is hardly sport that will
appeal to the average American, vino
likes TO see even a rabbit get some
kind of an even break.

measure the city has ever considered,

fort TO expedite il. His most import
ant appointment, Mckenzie as chief

lowed it up with an appointment of a
man who knows the political game too
well TO be entrusted with control of a
police department. Mr.. Bransford' 5

either the knowledge or the determina-
ton that should be demanded of the

city government.

need be said. He has had no experience

nominated as a sacrifice to Republican
necessity; he is going to be traded for

would put him on the political funeral

full about it.

NOTHING DOING.


In that morrow visionary when your
kitchen Mag or Mary
Comes and tells you that she's being
overpaid;
When the labor unions clamor for a long
ct day to hammer
And for lower wages wrangle and pa
rade:
When an edifying way TO eat an orange
is discovered,
Or when Hetty Green a careless nickel
spends
In the golden age to come, in the sweet
millennium,
The tariff viii be lowered by its
friends"
When the law of grsvitatiOn is no more
in operation,
And you see penny rolling up hill;
When we learn about the labors of our
planetary neghbOrs;
When the iceman sends really honest
bill;
When a railroads first endeavor is to
serve the public, never
Taking count OF what IS done 10 divi-
bends
In that blessed time to be- We can easily
The tariff viii be unkered by its
friends.
When We alter human nature by an act
of legislature,
And the motto Of all men is 'Quantum
suf.;'
When The tariff hog is willing to sus-
pend his steady swilling
And acknowledge that he's had about
enough:
When thai gobbling. guzzling porker takes
his feet from out the trough
And his greedy grunt no more our ear
offends-
In that future day Elysian we shall sure
The tariff viii be tinkered by lis
friends

IN NEXADA,

Governor Sparks, of Nevada, has ia

claring a bank holiday lin the state
until the banks have time to call in re-
serve funds from outside and be in
position to meet the possible demands
of depositors for cash. While general
financial unrest was In part RESPONSE
BILE for the situation, a curious anomaly
was presented in that part of the diff
ficulty was due to big dividends that
had to be disbursed and made an I'M
usually large draft on the banks. Two
dividends alone were to call for s42O,-
600, and this big sum, together with
the possibility that uneasy depositors
might call for funds presented a dilem-
ma that had to be met promptly.
On top of this. the ore purchasing

averted any likelihood of prolonged
disturbance. During the interim the
banks have prepared for re-opening

October the Beautiful.

In spite of the chilly evenings and
cold nights of October, this month is
the most healthful month of the whole
season.
There is one liability, however, which
constantly hangs over the month of
OctOber-the liability to catch cold at
night.
Clothing Too Thin.
People have been accustomed to
warm nights during the summer. They
go out for the evening without proper
clothing Before their return they find
themselves chilled to the bone.
Sometimes people go to sleep without
proper covering, only to waken in the
morning and find they have caught
cold.
PE-RU-NA TABLETS can now be
obtained by those who prefer solid
medicines.

Catching Cold In October.

1t is very unfortunate indeed to get
a cold during the month Of October
Any cold more or less undermines
the system, and a great many coldS'
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh,
pneumonia, and other diseases Of the
winter.
The watchword Of October is to
guard against cold. so as to make the
most of this beautiful and healthful
month.
Pe-ru-na a Convenient Remedy.
Peruna kept in the house is a con-
venient remedy against colds. At the
appearance of the first symptoms Of
cold, few doses of PeTuna will often
mitigate the attack entirely.
Peruna is the recognized family
medicine in over a million homes. and
its value cannot be overestimated when
it Is properly used.
