about Is feet long and is hinged to a

about ten feet from the top. A heavy

the operator taking the tail in his
left hand. pulling 1t firmly while with
the knife in his right he makes a
quick. strong downward motion, sever
ing the tail. This method is not only
crude but cruel, for the tail is usually
partially broken on. However, 1t has
the advantage of speed. A modifica-
tion and improvement of this method
is found in the use of q block and
chisel. but this is wholly impracticable
on the range. The best method of all.

recommended, is the use Of shears

pose. These shears are heated to a
red heat and in clipping the tail on
they SO completely scar the wound

should be apologized for is appalling,
but it is human nature. But with re-
duced campaign expenses and the real
publicity which is sure to come may
we not hope for better things:
Both Taft and Bryan have declared
against the acceptance of money from
corporations. This is well. Neither
candidate will suffer. but each will
gain. The time has come when the peo-
pie of the United States want govern
ment without a suspicious interference
on the part of corporations. The coun-
try recognizes that business interests
of the country will be endangered.
But it realinzes that good government
will not hurt the business of the coun-
try. Unless a corporation is disobey-
ing the laws Of the land it need not
fear a man like Taft. The growing
tendency of the candidates for the
highest office in the land to be free
from all pre-campaign promises and
entaglements is the country's best as
surance that we are going to have
honest government.

RIVAL AND BROTHER
Unusual Kentucky Tragedy Is
Enacted.

Glasgow, KY, July 20.-Haden
James shot and fatally wounded Clyde
Ballard at camp meeting four miles
from here on the L. and N. pike. The
trouble arose over Ballard trying to
persuade a young lady, whom James
had accompanied to the meeting, to
let him see her home. The shooting
occurred just as the congregation was
leaving the grounds and created a
panic.
Ballard was shot in the breast by a
forty-four caliber revolver at close
range and will die. James went to the
home of his parents, two miles further
and this morning while showing how
the shooting was done, the pistol.
which was thought to be empty, ex-
ploded and Sam James, brother, was
shot in the breast. the ball entering
precisely the same point as the one
that struck Ballard.
Both victims are still alive. but no
hope is entertained for the recovery of
either. 1t is feared that the double
tragedy will unbalance James mind
Ballard is considered a tough, while
James stands we'll with the people.

WOOD CUTTING AS SPORT.
Championship Saving and Choppina
Matches In Australia.


At many of the agricultural shows.
which in the up country districts Of
Australia and New Zealand are fix
lures of the utmost interest and impor-
lance to those engaged in pastoral pur
suits, the tree Telling contests provide
the chief excitement Of the day.
Throughout the Australian bush there
are to be found axmen SO expert that
their achievements are the subject Of
discussion for miles around, and it is
at the agricultural shows that these
giants Of the game meet TO decide the
local or international championships.
The competitors take up positions
by the stumps allotted, and when the
signal to start is given the long han
died, keen edged axes fash downward
to the opening stroke. The cooper round
a cask is but a sloth to these brown
skinned, brawny woodsmen, who with
marvellous accuracy and strength strike
up. down and straight until the hard
wood chips fly in showers from the
smitten tree. To him who In the best
time most cleanly decapitates the
stump the prize is given. The saving
contests. which are hardly less excit-
ing, depend upon the evenness and
speed Of the cutting, and for the man
who thinks he knows what a hard days
work is a share in saving through q
perature OF 120 degrees or thereabout
would be the most perfect disiIlusion-
ment Observation-Disclosures Tatler.

KEEN OF EAR
Hogs Have q Finer Sense of Hearing
Than You Imagine.

Than You Imagine.
Hogs have a much keener sense of
hearing than most people seem to
think" said a man from the country.
They can see we'll and at a considera-
bic distance, but the nose and eyes of
the hog must give first place to the
ears.
This is so, no DOUBT. because hear
ing is probably the most useful of the
senses in the hog life, particularly at
that season Of the year when the hog in
the wild state must rely upon the fruit
age Of trees in the main for food. Even
with this advantage it Is frequently a
fierce race to see which hog can get
there first. 1t would be interesting to
know just how far a hog can hear an
acorn fall. 1t is remarkable how quick
ly they become cogniZant of the fact
that an acorn has been blown from its
outer shell and tum bIed toward the
ground, and he seems to catch the
sound quicker when he knows a com
petitor is near who will run him a
race for the nut. l have witnessed some
fierce and interesting races between
hogs with an acorn as the stake
Put hog within twenty yards OF an
oak and in nine cases out of ten he will
beat the acorn TO the place. In nire
cases out Of ten the hog will be within
a few feet of where the acorn strikes
the ground, another fact which argues
the superiority of the hogs hearing.
He can apparently tell pretty well by
the sound where the acorn will fall,
and he will rarely miss 1t more than q
few feet."-New Orleans Times-Demo.

PUBLICITY IN POLITICS.

One of the most hopeful signs in
modern party politics is the proposal
and intention of both candidates for
the presidency to make public the
money which have been received for
campaign purposes. Any amount of
legislation would not have gained the
same object. That the movement
should have come from the candidates
themselves is a guarantee not only
that there will be complete publicity
in this campaign but in succeeding
ones. There is little doubt that this
precedent will in time become as bind
ing as the one which George Washing
ton set in regard to a third. term. 1t
will be great safeguard against cor
ruption in politics and it reflects hon
or and credit on both of the candidates
that each should vie with the other
in their efforts TO attain absolute open
ess in regard to the amounts received.
1t will be interesting to know how
much money it costs to elect pres
ident of these United States. There
is an enormous amount expended in
the fight. Travelling expenses of the
candidates and spellbinders, literature
rent of places of meeting. and the act
ual cost Of the voting at the polls will
be great. The next step will be to lay
before the public the way in which
the money is spent. When this is
known. there might be some inquiry
made into how much it costs to gain
the nomination for Offices That
would not only clarity the atmosphere
in doing away with much graft and
corruption but it would toa large ex
tent act in favor of the man of moder
ate means going into politics. 1t is
commonly said and believed that 8
man who has spent large sum Of
money in obtaining the Office is partly
justified In getting 1t back by rake

Inc IDEAL legislator should above all
things have three cardinal qualities:
Capability.
Honesty.
Fearlessness.
By capability we mean that he
should be informed on the law, able
to understand the meaning of laws al
ready passed and those under consid-
Grafton. He should be able for exam
pie, to distinguish a blind tiger bill
when he sees it.
By capability we mean that he
knows what laws are necessary He
should be informed as to local condi-
tons all over the state so that he may
legislate wisely. Let him know when
people are disobeying the law or evad-
ing it on technicalities. On the liquor
question he ought to know that men
sell liquor illicitly. The ideal legisla-
tween local option and the remon-
STRANGE law. If he can not he must
be stupid or willfully blind-in either
case incompetent. BY capability we
mean man who will act without hav-
ing his whole constituency force him
into action. The man should be able
to act without studying the situa-
;c
By honesty we mean a man who has
an opinion on every subject which
comes before his notice which is deep
ly grounded in his character. BY hon
esty we mean not only that of dollars
and cents, but of squareness on every
proposition. We do not mean a man
who says one thing one day and an
which side he is talking to. We do
not mean a man who waits to see how
the cat will jump. We mean a man
who comes out definitely on one side
or the other and stays there. Honest
never despised. But a man who will
evade direct question is not honest.
1t is a principle of logic that a thing
is either so or not so; there is no
middle ground. The ideal legislator
must always recognize this and act on
it, else he will not merit the honest
regard of his constituency.
But above all things he must be fear
less-let him act. Let him show his
colors. The timorous soul who is
afraid to speak out will bear the just
criticism of those who are honestly on
one side or the other. What avails
capability and honesty in expression,
if the man be afraid to act?
The people of Wayne County want
an ideal legislator. Is there a dearth
Of capability, honesty and fearlessness
in this county?

OATS WILL YIELD
WELL THIS YEAR
The Crop Will Be Ready to Cut
Soon.

The oats of Wayne county will be
readp for cutting within the next sew
eral weeks. The oats this year are
not so heavy as they usually are, but
it is believed that they will yield at
least % to 80 bushels and in many
places more than this to the acre.
The majority of the farmers have just
completed thrashing of their wheat
crop which has turned out in many
places % bushels to the acre. while in
others it averaged only from Is to 20.

gates and members of the order since
his arrival in indianapolis last week
When order was finally secured
Pre- sident Cummings made a spirited
growth Of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, has been due to the preserva-
ton of the faith and the nationality of
the Irish. During the last few years
he said, the order has shown a net in
crease in membership of 10000 per
year.
Other reasons given by the presi-
dent for the steady growth in member
ship were that it NEEDLES in no fac
