rw;.,inn : Habbit.

The wretched rabbit Is first driven
into a hollow log or tree or hole. as
the case may be. Then the twister
cuts and trims a supple CAD Of suita-
BILE length, inserts 1t into the retreat
and pokes about till he feels the rab-
bit. The CAD Is then withdrawn, and
It's ten to one that a hair or two
clinging to the end will prove that
the rabbit has been touched. Tho
twister now makes a split In the end
of the CAD, feels for the prey again,
and when the split is In the fur turns
the CAD steadily in one direction till a
firm hold has been taken Of the fur.
The rabbit Is then dragged out and
dispatched, II everything works just
right. Too frequently things go wrong.
A rabbits skin Is very tender, and q
rough handed twister may twist on
inches of skin and wads Of fur before
he thinks that he has secured proper
hold. Not seldom the agonized rabbit
resists 80 strongly that the skin Is torn
of during the pulling process. The
whole business savors too much OF
faying a beast alive to be worthy OF
further discussion.
But in one instance the rabbit did
not suffer. A clever youth found q
hele under stump and decided to
twist the hidden rabbit. The stick
took hold in excellent style; the rab'
bit struggled bravely, but powerful
pull brought 1t forth with a bounce.
1t was very curious rabbit-in fact
the only one on record which wore q
long bushy tail and black and white
coat, and, Judging by the odor OF It.
It must have been In that hole very
long time.-Outing.

Every man to his trade" Is an
old adage and Is familiar to nearly
all or us. It is brief in It's wording
but conveys a great deal in It's mean
ing. It is merely a terse way OF
saying that man who makes a spe-
cialty OF any one thing knows more
about, and is more proficient IN his
particular specially than any one
else could be. II Is for this reason
that we all seek a specialist when
we have any serious physical all
ment. II is for the same reason that
The Rydale Remedy Co. went to one
OF the best specialists in the United
States on liver and intestinal trou-
bles, a professor In a Columbus. o..
Medical College, and secured from
him a prescription from which Ry-
dale's Liver Tablets are made.
This specialist knew more about Iiv-
er troubles than a doctor who treats
all diseases, and that Is why Ry-
dale's Liver Tablets relieve and cure
more quickly all liver troubles than
the ordinary liver pills and pow
ders.

touches are being added to the pre-
parauons for the start to Denver

make up the party. They expect to
have oddles OF fun. under the lead
ership of Big Chief Murphy. and
they expect TO pay at least $4,000
for Il. This is the most modest esti-
mate OF those in charge of the de
luxe excursion TO the mile-high
town. The arrangements include
the provision of liberal quantity
OF all varieties of snake-bite RENE
dy. The braves have heard that
there are lots of serpents out In the
wild and woody and undiscovered
country TO which they are going and
they will not go unprepared
Five special trains will carry ESQ
braves to the great pow-wow. Two
trains will go over the New York
Central, two over the PENNSYLVANIA
and one over the Erie railroad. All
will be made up OF cars de luxe.

many mon will parade with martial
music before going to headquarters

pect to make fine appearance.
headed by Big Chief Charles f.
Murphy.
The cost OF transportation for
each brave will be $50 the round
trip. with s22 extra for a berth II
is estimated that each man will eat
and drink-$19 worth.
The total cost of transportation
is figured at $4,000. with $4,000
more to make a big show in Den
yer.
Tom" Smith, secretary OF Tam
many hall. the most famous man of
that name east OF Pixies Peak, has
charge OF the excursion. So the
trip is bound to be a success no mat
ter who is nominated.
II has been arranged that the
trains en- route to Denver will stop
more than two hours at Kansas
City and omaha. Sunday, in order
to allow the Tammanyites to go to
church.
Maurice Featherson. who is not
on good terms with Charles f. Muir
ply, has arranged to lodge his dele
gates away from the rest OF the
Tammany braves When Secretary
Tom Smith went TO Denver some
weeks ago to engage quarters for
the Tammany contingent he includ-
ed in his arrangements lodgings for
the Featherson men But Feather
son has obtained special accommo-
dations for himself and his men. He
thinks that he and his friends will
enjoy themselves more and feel less
restrained If they are lodged un-
der some other ROOT than that which
covers the Tammany chief.
William j. Bryan's representa-
tives in this city have engaged a
special train for themselves and
other admirers of the Pereless One
who wish to attend the convention.
The trip will cost $118, including
meals, and at Denver the Bryanites
will sleep in the cars. The train
will be stopped at Lincoln, Neb., for
visit to Mr.. Bryan at his home.

TOWNE VISITS
MIR. BRYAN
DISCUSS VICE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES-NEW YORKER
CLAIMS HE HAS ASSURANCE
OF SUPPORT FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 2.-Charles A.
Towne, OF New York. was a visitor
at Fairview last night. Mr.. Towne.
who is an avowed candidate for the
Democratic nomination for vice
president as well as an old time
personal friend of Mr.. Bryan. stop
ped of here for the express pur-
pose OF discussing vice presidential
politics. Mr.. Bryan was expecting
him and for half an hour they re-
NAMED closetsd.
At the conclusion of the interview
Mr.. Bryan said that he had been
glad to see Mr.. Towne. He had
nothing further to say.
New York the Logical State.
Mr.. Towne admitted to newspa-
per men that his candidacy as well
as the platform had formed the
main topics of conversation. New
York is the logical state to furnish
the vice presidential nominee" said
Mr.. Towne. THE public does not
seem to realize the number of Dem
ocrats there are in northern New
York. | am not surprised at the
declination of Judge Gray to be
mentioned for vice president
have expected 1t right along. Judge
Gray is a strong man. a popular
man with all classes, he has ability,
magnetic personality and marked
attachments. However, l have been
assured by friends from all parts of
the country OF support for myself.
Assurances of an unmistaking char
acter were given me by leading New
York Democrats before | would per-
NIT the use of my name"
What will be done with the anti
Injunction plank at Denver?" Mr..
Towne was asked.
1T should be a strong one-one
that does not hedge. The laboring
man will be protected"
will provision for the interlocu-
tory decree be made for use in ex-
treme cases7 What is Mr.. Bryan's
position OF this phase OF the ques-
tion?"
That | cannot discuss; l cannot
even express my own opinion, for
1t would borrow color from the fact
that | have been talking with Bry-
an"
Mr.. Towne smiled as he parted
this question. Likewise he laugh
ingly lodged interrogations as TO
whether Mr.. Bryan had singled him
out for support in his canvass for
the vice presidential nomination.
Previous to Mr.. Towne's visit, how
ever. Mr.. Bryan had practically set
at rest, temporarily at least. re-
ports that he favored Mr.. Towne.
Mr.. Bryan is silent on all matters
pertaining to probable action by the
convention in order to disarm prob
able criticism on the score that he
is attempting TO dictate.
His intimates here have taken the
cue and If he has confided his wish
es to any OF them they are guard
ing their secrets. Mayor Brown,
who is a delegate at large and Ne
braska's choice for member of the
resolutions committee Is generally
credited with being the man in Lin
coin who knows Mr.. Bryan's wishes
regarding a platform.
SO far as can be learned Mr..
Bryan will not have a telegraph
wire in his house during the con
vention. He will depend on the
wires being strung into a cottage
three hundred yards away for the
conveniences of newspaper CORE
sDOndents.
