I wonder who is the author of that
saying, Better be sure than be sor-

first came out. Pa was riding a high
wheel (makes you laugh to think of
those things now), and he said pneu-
matte tires would never do for BIZ
cycles because they wouldn't admit of
speed. Say,3wouldn't that bump you?

DAVIDSON NOT ELEcTRocUTED.
Unfounded Rumor Regarding Sub
station Operator.

A curious crowd assembled before the
substation of the United States Electric
Lighting Company, Sherman avenue and
Harvard street. this morning shortly after
g O'Clock, attracted by a report that the
operator in charge, ]. H. Davidson. had
been electrOcuted.
Other branches Of the company also
heard the rumor. and S. Folsom, In
charge of substations. quickly cut off the
current, disabling the Brightwood line for
a few seconds. Supt. Folsom and others
hurried to the little substation to investi-
gate. and Davidson greeted them at the
door.
There had been no trouble at the sta
tion. When the current was shut off Da-
wilson thought there was trouble at some
other point.
1t appears that some person passing the
building had seen Davidson seated at his
desk with his head resting on ms hand.
He seemed motionless. The pedestrian
thought he had been electrocuted BY the
time the police received the report David
SON was said to be clinging to the wire
with his feet off the floor.
Pm the man who was supposed 10 nave
been killed" was what Davidson said
wher a Star reporter reached the build
ing Pm glad to be able to tell you
about how it didn't happen.
Davidson said he thought the report was
started by some person looking through
the window and seeing him. and the story
was exaggerated by boys in the neiShbor-
hood.

Stamping Competition.

From SYSTEM
That competition is at least the back
bone. if not the life, of trade is illustrated
by the big city department stores. espe-
cially those located in the same district
where rivalry runs high and the efforts
to attract trade are studied with particu-
lar care in time of depression. That this
same incentive for progress is not given
to stores in the country may be one cause
or is il effect?-of the degeneration of
some of our rural districts in the east.
One Of the heads of a prominent New
York concern who spent a vacation in
New England last summer went to the
local general store to buy few yards
of certain cloth.
I'VE don't keep it, said the store
keeper.
"Why not?" was the reply. This is a
staple. How can you get along without
it?"
Wal was the Indifferent explanation.
1--WE Jest can't keep it. 1 laid in some a
short spell ago. but it vas bought out.
and every time I've got some ii only gets
sold. There's no use trying to keep 1t
here.'

Robin a Ventriloquist.

From the London Field
The familiar robin is at times ventril-
oauist. The bird seated only few yards
off is singing and the sound appears to
come from some other bird at distance.
When singing thus the beak is kept
closed and only the ruffiing of the feath-
ers of the throat shows that the robin is
singing at all. Such power might be
useful especially to bird like the black
cap which sometimes sings when sitting
on the nest.
AS regards mimicry the starting is our
most accomplished mimic. He will sing
so like the song thrush and blackoird
that it is hard to tell the difference. and
I'm autumn he gives fire imitation OF
the curew.
The blackbrd as rule is not mimic.
vet Yarrell relates that 1t has been heard
to crow like the cock. and the writer of
these notes had the pleasure OF hearing
it do so on one occasion. Sometimes the
imitation is unconscious, as in the case
of the jackass penguin, which. according
to Darwin, makes loud noise very like
the braying of an ass.

MUzzlING ORDER IN EFFECT
THOSE DOGS IN LEASH, HOW
EVER, ARE NOT AFFECTED.
CORPORATION Counsel Renders Opinion
as to Meaning in Law Of
Running at Large"

Owners of dogs may take them I'M
muzzled on the public thoroughfares If
the animals are in leash or carried.
The Commissioners were undecided on
the point yesterday when they issued
the order requiring the muzzling Of all
dogs for the next six months. The mat
ter was referred to Corporation Counsel
Thomas. In an opinion rendered late
yesterday afternoon that official held
that dogs in leash or in arms are not
running at large within the meaning
of the law.
Although the muzzling order became
operative yesterday morning and the at
taches OF the dog pound were instructed
to impound all dogs caught on the streets
without muzzles irrespective of the fact
that they may have the required tags.
no dogs were captured yesterday simply
because they did not have muzzles.
Dog Owners Buy Muzzles.
The Commissioners have been Informed
that dog owners are losing no time In
providing their pets with muzzles.
Health Officer Woodward. who has SD
pervision of the dog pound service. was
at the pound yesterday afternoon and this
struction Of temporary quarters for
tagged dogs caught without muzzles. Such
animals will not be Gagged with the tag
less dogs. An additional pound wagon
has been ordered and within the next two
weeks four wagons will be in service. with
a crew Of three men for each wagon.

Haiti's Legion of Honor.

From tIauIolS
1t is not generally known that the IA
NOUS order of the Legion of Honor was
adopted at Haiti in 1919. When Soulouque
became emperor under the name of Paus-
tin he instituted an order in imitation or
that which had been established by Ma
poleon in 1902. Statutes, ribbons and
insignia were precisely Identical, and
since the sovereign of Haiti distributed
his honors to all and sundry with lavish
hand. the French government was con-
siderably embarrassed. The death OF
Soulouuue ended the difficulty.

ONLY NECESSARY TO TREAT
The STOMACH, SAYS COOPER

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom-
ach has attracted such widespread
attention that the public in cities
visited by the young man has been
Joined by many physicians in a dis
cussion Of his beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis.
ease can be conquered without first
alleviating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and wom-
en- Of this generation are half-sick,
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenate the
human stomach in 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting in
each what he calls a campaign of
education. For the past year he has
met the public in the larger cities
Of the country, and his c has
been phenomenal. Thousands Of
people have focked to his headquar-
tors wherever he has gone, and the
sale Of his medicine has been beyond
anything of the kind eve before
witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting fea,
ture of the attention this young man
has attracted is what his army of
followers, whom he has converted to
lis beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol-
lowing statements are from two well
Known residents of Chicago and Bos-
ton, respectively, and the enthusiasm
Of these is characteristic Of Cooper's
admirers generally.
Mrs. H. B. Mack, of 1901 State
street, Chicago, says: 81 have been
suffering for IL years from a COM
bination of stomach troubles, catarrh
and constipation. I had a gnawing
nain In the pit Of my stomach. a sort
