THE JAcKAss AND DEBs.

Eugene V. Debs, the socialist lead

self:
81 was to address public meeting,
and there was intense prejudice
against me, so the young man who had
to introduce me thought he would try
to disarm it.
Debs is hated by some people. he
said, because he has been in strikes
This is not right. Why. even a dog

of the bone he is gnawing, goat will
butt you if you get in his way, and
you know what jackass will do if you
monkey with him. Ladies and gentle

CONSUL SHOT
A GRAY TAkIN
Honolulu Visitor Who Got a
Rare Specimen of
Mammal.

The North China Daily News has an
interesting account of the killing by
Mr. Mason Mitchell, now U. s. Consul
at Apia, Samoa, of new kind of mann
NAL. Mr.. Mitchell arrived in Homo
lulu on the Korea and is now visiting
at Waialua plantation. The News
says:
At the latter end of last year we
reported that Mr.. Mason Mitchell,
United States Consul at Chungking,
had shot a takin while on a big game
hunting expedition in Tibet. 1t ap.
pears that Mr.. Mitchell also shot a
very rare specimen of the lynx tribe
and sent the skins of both animals to
Mr.. Rowland Ward, the celebrated Eng
lish naturalist A letter referring to
these trophies appeared in The Field
on May IL, and Mr.. Mitchell received
very interesting letter from Mr.
Ward. These two letters were as fol-
lows:
Mason Mitchell, Esq.
Dear Sir: I have no doubt you
will be pleased to notice the enclosed
cutting relating to the very interesting
takin you SO kindly sent me, and which
has been named in honor of you ''Bu-
dorcas taxicolor MITCHELL -
In course of short time it will be
on exhibition permanently in our ma
tional collection at South Kensington,
and, I feel sure, will interest some of
your friends when they visit the Mu-
scum.
Having had many of the ordinary
specimens through my hands, it struck
me at once when yours arrived that it
may represent new form and I ven
ture to hope it will give you much
pleasure.
The lynx skin was Felis Seripta
milne Edwards) and the other new
race, so it becomes Felis temmincki
MITCHELL. Both these specimens I have
also given to the British Museum, as
one becomes the type of a new race
as above. With kind regards, ETC..

A Gray Takin.

takln has been one OF the few species
of big game ruminants that have not
fallen to the rifle of the white sports
man. Mr.. Mason Mitchell of the
American Consular Service, and a cor
respondent of Mr.. Rowland Ward,
claims, however, to have shot several
specimens of the Chinese representa-
tive of this animal in the province of
Szechuan. and in proof has sent home
the complete skull and skin of an
adult female This skin differs from
any takin that has hitherto come
under my notice in that the long hair
of the upper parts is uniformly light
gray, with the exception of a larg>
black area on the front of the face and
of a dark dorsal streak. In this re-
spect if presents a marked contrast to
the bulls of the Tibetan race of the
tal1in Budorcas taxicolor Tibetana
(from which the Chinese B. t. Sinensis
appears inseparable), these having all
the forequarters, bright golden yellow,
passing, I am told, into rufous on the
shoulders of old animals. The hind
quarters are, however, mainly dark
gray, and the front of the face and
dorsal stripe are black.
ne 1dtt IOltSSDI MlID6 LuWdIuS,
who named the Tibetan race, stated
that the females are paler and greyer
than the males and the natural pre-
sumption accordingly is that the skin
received by Mr.. Ward represents the
COW of that race. The sender of the
specimen states, however, that there
are two distinct kinds of takin in
Szechuan, which differ not only in
color, but in size and habits, the small
er red kind going about in small herds,
while the larger one is solitary, or asso-
ciates only in pairs. If this idea be
well-founded the grey race may be
named Budorcas taxicOlor MITCHELL, in
honor of the sender of the female skin,
which Mr.. Ward has promised to pre-
sent to the British Museum. The animal
was killed in the mountains near Ia
chinlu. According to Mr.. Mason Nit
cheH, the Chinese have separate names
for the two presumed kinds of takin,
calling the large grey one tunu-yea
(big wild OK and the smaller yellow or
rufous one yea-nu (wild ox). The skin
of the specimen sent to Mr.. Ward APP
pears to indicate larger animal than
the mounted yellow male from Szeeh-
uan in the British Mureum. The grey
kind, in which the short, stubby tan
is wholly black, is stated to have the
horns more bowed. If the two kinds
inhabit the same country they ought
perhaps to be regarded as species rath-
er than races.

Mr.. Mitchell has since received from
Tibet another very rare skin; it is that
of the golden monkey (Tibetan Ian
guar and has remarkably beautiful
fur On the back it is brown with
silver sheen and on the neck and ex-
tremities it merges into right bright
gold and the fur there is as soft as silk.

SECURES HUSBAND BY DOCTORS SKILL She Almost Lost Him But tht Doctor Came to Cupid's
 Rescue.

Boston. Nov. 4.-One of our wealth, women has just announced her weddin. after most remarkable courtship II which Cupid. two hearts. a doctor ana q blemished face played important roles.
 For years the couple were engaged but although she was wealthy, highl, educated and of pleasing personality all that Cupid requires of a woman she was blemished in facial appearanc, and he was reluctant to marry her.
 Atslast-in despera'ion-she appealed to pr. A. L. Nelden. the famous Bcaut, Specialist of IS East 2Sth Street, Nev York, to have scar, mole and somt superfuous hairs removed.
 When the doctor heard that he must aid Cupid by removing the only ob stacle. he entered upon the work eagerly for It demonstrated how futile money intelligence and social position are when the face is even slightly blemished.
 The work was not only successful and painless. the bride announces, leaving no scars and guaranteed to be perman ent. but she IS also pleased to have read that the doctor Is willing 10 send samples of these discoveries to ali who writs him. Cupid has von another victory which would have been impos ,ible except for pr. Neiden's slill-

houses and Improvements of villages and towns. The greatest loss. proba- ply. Is one that Is never taken into accountable loss of young trees and the loss in humus After one of these terrible confiagrations has swept over a timber slashing not a living thing of vegetation Is left. Nature has to begin again the work of furnishing protection for the naked earth; years must elapse before the traces of the dreary desolation are hidden. The farmer who returns to rebuild his home upon the ashes is without ma terial for building or fencing. and soon he is without material for living except what he buys. But the loss of humus Is a far greater loss. The vegetable matter so abundant on the surface of the soil in a new country is devoured by the flames. The top soil in a new country is devoured by the flames. The top soil with all that 1t contains is turned into ashes. For two or three years good crops may follow because of the abundance of ashes lying over the soil, but the stimulating effect of these is soon lost. The area thus burned over will not recover what 1t lost by such a conf1agration in score of years, or in a period much longer"

When the political writers are short of copy they pitch into poor old Tammany, and that organization has been getting it right and left since election. The old tiger is accused of selling out the party in New York, although not a bit of evidence to that effect has been produced thus far. Leader Murphy is called and accused of everything from a grafter to a man who would sell his vote. He refuses to be pushed aside, and now his enemies are going to try to best him by combining with the republi- cans and run a fusion candidate for governor next time. This is just
 what these same men have accused Murphy of doing, so even if he did, which he probably did not, they are not above selling out the party them selves. The man the New York World calls stupid leader seems to be holding his own pretty well. Tam many is not dead yet by any means.

Tho November American Boy

Baseball has given way to football and this winter game is finely illus trated by the picture Gin colors) of the boys on the gridiron which dec crates the November American Boy front cover. By the way, this issue begins the tenth year of that most popular of boys magazines. The con- tents will be found to contain just the stories and articles which boys delight to read. In addition to the chapters of the fine serials by Hous- ton, Tomlinson, and Optic, there are a number of short stories and ar ticles of most interesting character Malaga Dicks Thanksgiving is a fine story of how a boy earned his thanks giving by an act of heroism. Two interesting football stories, Farlow's S Trick and How St Albans Won the Game, will appeal to the athletic boys. The Little Red Stamp is an interesting story of Uncle Sam's postage. The Henley Overcoat tells humorously of how boy cured his brother of a bad habit. A Dark Nights Work relates how boy saved his fathers quarter section of land. In the Training of Uncle Sam tells of the work of Uncle Sam's naval recruits. How the Life Savers Work is a graphic description of the ardous and often dangerous du- ties of the life-saving crew. Part two of The Deer Trailers will inter- est the boy hunters. Washington $ First Thanksgiving Proclamation will be read by all. What Can a Young Man Do? treats of many ay- enues of work that a boy may take up. The Champions in Baseball will be a speciality attractive page. How President is Made will answer many of the questions which boys have asked on this subject. The nature lover will find his hobby treated in Some of the Strange Ten. ants of a Texas Ranch. Then there are How to be Fine Boxer. How to Study History. and a special ar. ticle on Lantern-Slide Making. The various departments will appeal tc allf boys with hobbies. 76 illustra. uons. q year.

President Roosevelt, who has SO long occupied the forefront of the stage, is for the moment and per- haps will be for a long time, eclipsed by the president-elect, and it Is just probable that he enjoys the eclipse, if it may be so called, for surely he has brought it on himself in his own approved way, says a Washington writer. Those who have talked to him recently relative to the New York senatorship are impressed that he would like very much to see the present secretary of state succeed Senator Platt, and it is rumored that the president himself hopes to suc- ceed Senator Depew in a year or two after his hunting holiday in Africa and his editorial experiment on the Outlook Magazine are ended Secre- tary Root would be able to uphold Jut pl cSllSS OL LNcW IOTh anu would do much to redeem it from it's pres- ent low level on the senate floor. MT Root is silent on the subject, but there has been extensive use of his name recently in connection with the New York senatorship. It is said that Senator-elect Taft very much de- sired to have Secretary Root remain as the premier of the new cabinet. He could no doubt be appointed to the chief justiceship of the United States supreme court if Justice Full Ter should retire within the next four years. There are, however, a num- Der of New York candidates for Sem ator Platt's place. among them ex- Governor Brank B. Black and Timo- thy Woodruff.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. ii, 1908.

A number of the editors around the state are feeling blue because Judge Robertson didn't send his congratulations to Governor-elect Lilley. Robertson, no doubt, wants to be consistent. He isn't politician enough to congratulate a man whom he tried to defeat, and one whom he thought was not properly qualified to be governor of Connecticut. By the way, did any one see congratula- tory telegram from President Roose- welt to Congressman Lilley?
