Horse Show at Syracuse during the week
of September 14th.
j. G. Place of this city entered his bay
Morgan stallion, Silver Allen, registered
No. 1880, in the class for stations for the
improvement of stock of other than rae
ing, including Arabs, thorouehbreds,
trotting breds, French coachers, Morgans
and American saddlers.
The classes all filled, and without a
doubt it was as grand collection as ever
came together, including such noted
horses as Guy Fortune said to be the
highest acting fast horse alive, with a
mark of 2:11 to his credit; lmanzada,
the imported Arab stallion that Colonel
Spencer Borden of Fall River, Mass,
paid $50, 1000 for and a few weeks ago
took to Sycamore Hill for President
Roosevelt to inspect as II competitor to
the Morgan horse for military purposes,
and many other noted horses including
the other Morgans after the display and
a thorough inspection by the judges.
Silver Allen was awarded the prize over
ALL excepting the thoroughbreds.
Silver Allen was the only horse shown
in upward of 700 entries without check
rein, as he possesses all the natural style
necessary and has extreme action and
has stepped 2:l2 gait to road wagon. -

Canad a S Election.

The noise and smoke of the political
fray in the United States has almost OBJ
scured to readers on this side of the in
ternational boundary line the fact that
Canada is having one of the most bitterly
fought campaigns in the history of the
Dominion. At the polls next Monday
the fate of the Liberal Laurier ministry
will be decided. Borden is leading the
opposition, and if the conservatives win
he will be premier.
While it will take landslide to dis.
lodge the liberals, who have a majority
of &C in the house, yet the conservatives
es of fraud, graft, and misgovernment
will turn the trick. The liberals have
been in power since 1896, and it is not at
all surprising that such long lease of
power should have developed a certain
amount of corruption. In fact. reitera-
ted charges of "wine, women, and.
graft" as the conservatives phrase it.
forced the resignation of two members of
the government this year. The conser-
vatives are making practically their
entire fight on the issue of graft and cor
ruption.
Borden makes the specific charge that
the liberal government is corruptly spend
ing $40 100000 year tits alleged that
hundreds of thousands of acres of west
ern lands have been given away to liber-
al politicians and their friends. One
conservative newspaper declares that
go, 900, 900 acres have been thus disposed
of since 1896. Electoral crookedness, de-
partmental jobbery, wasting of the pub
lie domain, extravagant contracts to
friends of politicians, the building of
useless bridges and roads, and the bribery
of towns by the erection of unnecessary
public buildings are among the charges
the conservatives are hammering home
with vigorous reiteratioD.
But the liberals are not without effect
i've batteries, not the least important of
which is the magnetic personality OF
Laurier himself.
Since the liberals came into power, in
1896, Canada has made enormous strides
At that time, after long period OF
conservative rule, the revenues of the
Dominion were only $4,000, 900; after
twelve years of liberal administration
they are now 500 100000 The eighteen
years of conservative domination increas
ed the public debt S11S, 100000; twelve
years of liberal rule has increased the
debt only $5,0OO.OOO. The Laurier parti
sans declare that their policies have
transformed Canada from a colony to &
nation in all but name, and they claim
credit for the remarkable expansion OF
trade, agriculture, and manufacturing
that has taken place within the past few
years. 1t cannot be denied that the lib
erals have the advantage of an aggressive
policy of internal improvements and ex
pansioD, which is particularly appealing
to Canadians at this time, following tn,
wonderful Development of their new
West.-Exchange.

Every Man Should Exercise His Brain
and Brawn Which Are His Heritage
Third of a Series.
''To every man his workn

"TO every man his workD
Yes to EVERY man his work.
Shirkers are not wanted in this
busy world, and drones have no
place here. No parasites-pro-
uucerS every one. Not all culti-
waiting cabbage heads, nor yet all
building great machines. But
tasks there are which call as all, to
fill the passing days. The world
does not owe living to every idle
tramp, but it at least should give
every man chance to make one.
Then to every MAN his work.
For today, as never before, the call
is for men-real men-men with
blood and iron in their veins
Problems are bigger, but oppor-
tunities are greater. No towards
please, nor men who will retreat
when danger faces us. Leaders
strong and true, who dare to do
the right, though all the world
protests. These are men we need.
But to every man HIS work.
Not trying to do another's task.
nor fretting in his own, but plan

room must be made for him else
where, if he is worthy of better
Job But we need them all-the
men who do the humble tasks,
even though they may not bring to
prominence the faithful worker.
After all, it is required of men to
be faithful-not famous.
Finally, to every man his
WORK. 1t isn't curse. Those
who insist that Eden was a work
less place, are ignorant of the
greatest fact in human history.
Work is Gods greatest blessing.
Cursed is the man who cannot ex-
erclse the brain and Drawn which
are his heritage. To blaze the
way, to win the fight, to bring
good cheer, to make the world a fit
abiding place-not only for him
self, but for all mankind-these
are the tasks which are laid upon
every man-''to every man his

ORGANIZER
CAL WYATT
Addressed the Trades Assembly
Monday Night---Big Protest Mass
Meeting Planned for an Early
Date.

General Organizer Cal WYATT. of
the American Federation of Labor
addressed the special meeting of
the Trades Assembly Monday
evening. BE discussed at length
the labor situation of the county
and the blows sustained by recent
court decisions and injunction
rulings and plainly outlined the
only course for labor to pursue is
to seek legislation favorable to the
working people of our county and
to elect men to all public offices,
especially legislative and judicial,
who favor the enactment and en-
torcement Of laws favorable to the
workingman and which will guar
antee them the rights and privi-
leSes set forth in the constitution.
He made an earnest plea to the
trade unionists of Charleston to
arouse to action and lend them sup
port and assistance carving
American labors' fight for national
legislation to Il successful termina-
ton.
His speech was listened to by
the delegates with the closest at
tentlon and will serve to spur them
on to renewed action in the present
organizing campaign.
Mr. Wyatt also addressed the
Carpenters and Painters on last
Friday evening and the Type
ographlcal union on Saturday
evening. He will remain here
until a thorough organization of
all crafts is effected.

Gov. Stuart's Story.

Gov. Stuart, Of Pennsylvania, ap
proaches public speaking with din.
dence. This feeling never left him,
despite his four years as mayor OF
Philadelphia. However, his long and
hard gubernatorial campaign gave him
greater confidence in himself, and to
day he makes strong and powerful
public address. But he never attempts
even. short address without first re.
ferring to the fact that he is not an
orator, and thus prepares his audi.
ence for surprise. The other day,
introducing himself to the students at
Pennsylvania State college, he told this
story:
There was q loquacious Scottish
dominic VINO alwaJs had something to
say to his parish lners. 1t was a rainy
Sunday. Mrs. Mcpherson 'ound her

USED POISON OF RArrLEsNAkE.
Preparation That Made W4r Arrows Of
Cherokee Indians Deadly.

An old Cherokee Indian recently
gave away the secret how the Indians
OF olden times used to poison their ar.
row heads for war purposes or for
killing bears, according to the Denver
Field and Farm. They took a fresh
deer liver, fastened It, 70 q long pole,
and then went to certain places where
they knew they would find rattle
snakes In abundance. About midday
the rattlers are all out of their dens,
cotled up In the cooking sun. The
DUCKS would poke the first RATHER
they found with the liver on the long
pole. A rattler, unlike common snakes
always shows fight in preference to
escaping. The snake would thus re-
peatedly strike at the liver with its
tangs until its poison was all used up
whereupon 1t would quit striking and
try slowly to move on. The bucks
would then hunt up another RATHER
and repeat the performance, keeping
up the work until the liver was we'll
soaked with snake poison. Then the
pole was carried home and fastened
somewhere In an upward position until
the liver became as dry ais "a bone.
Thei liver was then poGnded to a fine
powder and placed In u buckskin bag

This powder would stick like glue to
any moistened surface and was death
to any creature which It entered on
arrows. .... ,..... ....- ...

FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT
Prof. Garner Authority for Assertion
,@ That Wild Animals Converse.

The chatter of Monkeys is q, real
chatter and conversation, some folks
say. Prof. r. l.. Garner, who has spent
the greater part Of several years in
the forests Of Africa studying the Ian
guages of monkeys and other animals
says silence is not an absolute ele-
ment In the safety Of wild animal life
Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes Of human beings. This he at
tributes to lack OF social intimacies
and nomadic habits. The. carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
through the sound Of their voices, de-
pend almost entirely upon the sense
Of smell in pursuing their game, every
species having it's peculiar. odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night
Selling their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rea-
1ons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residences.
In the jungle he found that the chin.
panzee frequently breaks the silence
Of the forest by answering the cries
Of the various other animals. The
gorilla is less loquacious. but there
are times when he ignores all danger
Of betrayal and gives vent to a .delugs
Of speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting Of
the elephant Is common at night, and
the believing of the hippopotamus
by day or night. The antelopes cry a,
night when the leopard Is on the hunt
for them, the latter also gruntinE.
