Now this is the saying Of one who

son, it is good dope.
Touch not the funny water when
thy conk whirleth, for it will rise
up against thee.
Thy couch wherein thou seekest
rest, it will whirl thee like unto the
merry-go-round,
And climb the wall Of thy habi-
talion,
Defying the laws Of gravitation.

the hoochie while thy tummy pro-

Whilst thou hang on wildly, and

Anon great sickness shall over

thee much; but wise is he who las
sooeth the first water faucet that
danceth by;
For therein lieth comfort.

The French Livestock Bill.

A bill has just been introduced
in the House Of Representatives by
Representative French and in the
Senate by Senator Hey burn, that is
of great interest to shippers Of live
stock in every section of the coun-
try. The bill has the very warm
approval of President Roosevelt and
provides that it shall be the duty
of every railroad engaged in inter
state commerce in the transporta-
ton of livestock to maintain on all
trains carrying livestock an average
speed of not less than sixteen miles
per hour from the time the livestock
is loaded until the train reaches its
destination, deducting only such
reasonable time as the stock may
be necessarily delayed in unloading
for feed, water and rest. The bill
proposes a penalty of not less than
one hundred dollars and not more
than five hundred dollars for each
violation of the act. The railroads
are very bitterly opposed to the
proposition, as at present they are
allowed to run trains carrying stock
as they please, with no regard to
the shrinkage in the weight Of the
stock or the cruelty the long delay
ed trips cause the animals. The
shrinkage i'll weight is estimated to
amount to one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars each year on cattle
shipped from Idaho alone. Asso-
Citations for the prevention of cruel
ty to animals are taking the matter
up and rendering much assistance
in the effort to secure the passage
of the bill Hearings have recently
been held upon the bill. Hon.
Fred w. Gooding, of Shoshone,
Idaho, President of the National
Wool Growers Association, Hon. P.
G.. johnson, of Blackfoot, and Mr..
L. L. Ormsby, of Boise, prominent

under consideration. The friends
of the measure are very hopeful of
its early passage.-The Republican

Concerning the Booze Fighter. and
Good Advice Unto Him.
By Arthur copp in eoodwiu's weekly }

INTO Une booze lOlnCS, nor rest
long thy shirt-front against the
mahogany thereof.
For the breath of them is as
sickness, and their free lunch as
the SIRENS voice which bringeth
thee nothing but the swift kick.
Remember thy seat on the wa
ter wagon, and keep it wholly;
for though the "Seeing Water
town" car is painted blue and
loseth many passengers; though
the car slippeth when passing
Jim's, and thy hat, it clamoreth
to blow off;
Remember thou that the wise
boss considereth that the cloven
footgoeth with thecloven breath,
and a half-nelson on the hay of
an evening is worth two bromo
settlers in the morning. Far bet
ter is a stand-in with the boss
than stand-off with the barkeep
when the board bill confronteth
thee.
But if thy toe stubbeth, then
touch not the third cocktail, nor
the olive contained therein, for
they slammeth upon thee a head
ache that is a pippin.
Sayest the booze clerk unto
thee, "Partake now of this tub
OF suds, for the house buyeth,
offend not thy tummy;
But take thou soft one; for
he is a wise rooster who knoweth
when the good thing passeth.
Sayest thy friend then unto
thee, ''Have one on me-" neither
offend him, but bespeak him
gently, and grab thou a fifteen
center;
For Of truth, as thou art get
ting that fuzzy taste, the smoke
it helpeth nightly in settling
everything but the bill.
Now, this thing say unto you:
Thus far and no farther shouldst
shou go in bucking the booze
when thy friend clamoreth:
When the next one it looseneth
thy tongue.
And thou callest thy new ac-
quaintance by his first name,
And thy hand, it seeketh his
shoulder,
And thou talkest shop, and
cusseth the country correspond
emit unto the uttermost,
And proclaimeth that thou art
a gentleman, and careth not who
knoweth it; then shouldst thou
turn from the suds when they
creameth, and the highball when
the ice crackleth enticingly.
Grabbest thou another, then
woe INTO thee; for thy tribula-
tions multiply like theinterest at
Uncle's.
Mayhap thou liftest up thy
voice in agreat noise, and singeth
OF "The Old oaken Bucket" or
"The Lions Cage"
And bestoweth thy small
change upon the orchestra, reck-
oning not ofthy board bill, which
accumulateth and worketh over
time to smite thy pay-envelope.

a charge Of professionalism, was held yesterday

over the situation complicated by Al Cope

Valentino This case was discussed at some
length and also continued.
The present trouble in which Ewry and Valen-
tine are concerned grew out of the discussion
over the appointment Of Matthew T. Halpln as
manager of the American team for the olympic
games in England this year. BY much adverse
criticism from various quarters Halpln was lea

athlete had accepted prizes in distinct violation
of the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union He
asked Ewry what he had received for an ex-
hibition at the 22d Regiment games IN l9Vz ana
for another at the 23d Regiment games, and the
b.road iun1per acknowledged frankly that he got
a watch fob and small watch, which his wife
is now wearing. After rigid examination
Eyrrv made a strong denial Of receiving money
for his exhibitions and offered to produce his
ards of record. He said further that he had
not knowingly violated any of the rules or the
Amateur Athletic Union.
Indications seemed to point to his having COM
ne+ed at unsanctioned games. but the committee
decided that a further hearing was necessary

SILENT CHESS ROOM.
Chance for More Meetings IN old
Home of Professor Rice.

Chess players who have been accustomed to
meet in the famous silent chess room in the
residence of Professor Isaac L. Rice on Riverside
Drive will be glad TO learn that the chances are
in favor of many meetings being held there,
despite the passing of the title to Solomon Schiu
ash who will take possession Of the premises on
Friday.
Professor Rice is known the world over as one of
the patrons of the game of chess, and his
chess room in the past has been thrown open for
the reception of noted visitors from all climes and
for the purpose of holding some of the intercol-
Iegiate and interscholastic chess tournaments. as
well as several of the cable matches with Oxford
and Cambridge. Down in the subterranean cham
ber hewn out of the solid rock, the chess players
are free from outside disturbance, even though
tugs may toot and engines whistle in the near
distance.
The new owner will make many alterations, but
he has assured Professor Rice that the chess re-
treat will be allowed to remain intact. As chess
is played in his family and he himself proposes
10 take up the study of the pastime, there IS a
likelihood that the chess world has not heard the
last of the famous trysting place.

anphitheatre. These buildings were generally
constructed on a level site. supporting the tiers
of seats on massive arches and vaults of solid
masonry, and utilizing the space below the
seats for passages and stairways, as we'll as for
other purposes. The Roman circuses, which
were used mainly for horse and chariot racing.
were colossal structures, in which audiences
equalling the population of a considerable city
could be seated. In plan they were similar to
the Greek Stadia, though wider in relation to
the length Many of them contained great
central wall of spna, dividing the arena into
halves, so that the chariots could drive up on
one side and back on the other. The greatest Of
these circuses the Circus Maximus, at Rome,
as finally enlarged, would seat it is claimed,
3SO.000 spectators. 1t 100 feet wide and
200 feet long. The circus of Nero, which
stood on the present site of the Cathedral of
St. Peter, was about $50 feet wide and loo

circuses is that of Maxentius the Appian
Way. two miles from Rome. This structure
was 245 feet wide and 1.620 feet long.
