All the towns hens havs gone dry,
and laying no egg, now that eggs are
worth money. 1t is always the way
with town hens. They are absurdly
Industrious and 60 around laying all
sorts of plain and fancy eggs, when
hen fruit is so plentiful that you can't
give it away to acharity organization,
but when the price goes up and eggs
would be worth while, the fool critters
spend their feathers. One set of feath-
ers ought to last hen a lifetime; just
think of the time wasted every fall
getting rid of old feathers and grow
ing new ones, and nothing doing in
the egg department.! There ought to
be a law.

A Duck Fell Dead.

A prominent visitor from the Fork
tells rather strange but interesting
story.
About ten days ago on fair morn
ing about sun rise, so the story goes,
several negroes were standing in front
of the dispensary at Peak awaiting
the arrival of the dispenser, when q
large English duck came from the dl-
ractiop of the famous Broad, struck
the dispensary and fell dead at the
feet Of the dispenser.
Whether this is a warning of what
the future will bringforth the visitor
was not able to say.

The Enrsged Elephant Brought His
Trunk Down on the Bison's Head.

heads held high, charged across the
corral at the first sound of anger from
their leader, who, as soon as he had
given vent to his wrath, charged full
tilt at Gunda.
The elephant withdrew her trunk
hurriedly and dropped back a few
steps. Sitting Bull charged full into
the wire fence. The other buffalo
halted. He ran back a few feet and
plunged again at Gunda, but was
thrown back again by the wire. Then
Gunda gave snort of rage and the
keepers at the deer corral saw her
trunk go high into the air and descend
upon the head of the buffalo just as
he dashed into the wire for the third
time. The blow seemed to stagger
Sitting Bull and he backed off with
his head low, glaring at the elephant
Gunda was now thoroughly enraged.
She made a dash at the fence, and,
leaning as far over as she could, swung
with her trunk again at the bull buff
falo Her trunk again landed upon
his head, and the keepers could see
the beast fall to his knees. The blow
from an elephants trunk is harder
than the kick of a mule, they say.
Had not the fence been exceedingly
strong it is likely that Gunda would
have gone through, and the keepers
say that had such thing occurred
there probably would have been bat
tie to the death between the elephant
and the buffalo.
The keepers were now running as
fast as they could to the scene of the
duel. Gunda's keeper, Thurman, had
his iron hook. He yelled at Gunda to
keep away, but the elephant, usually
so obedient, paid no attention. Thur
mann and several of the other keepers
grabbed the elephant by her ears, and
pulled with all their might. Then
Thurman got his hook in soft part
of the elephants head, and the fight
was over. She submitted and was
hustled away to the elephant house,
pausfng now and then to look back
and trumpet defiance at Sitting Bull
The buffalo followed the elephant
and her keepers as far as the buffalo
corral would allow, and stood there in
a corner believing for several min
utes after they had disappeared.

UNIQUE DUEL FOUGHT In zoo

Termination of Bout After
Hay Is Stolen from

New York.-A strange duel between
an elephant and buffalo took place in
the Bronx park zoo, but both COM
batants escaped without injury.
Sitting Bull, the dean of the buffalo
herd, was munching hay which the
keepers had just thrown near the edge
of the corral bordering on the main
walk, and he and his subjects were
paying attention to nothing but their
breakfast after the nights fast. 1t was
not yet breakfast time in the elephant
Enclosure, however, and Gunda, the
small elephant who sometimes carries
children on her back and also rings up
contributions of money on little cash
register, had wandered from the ele-
plant house and was nibbling at bits
of grass along the walks.
Gunda, who is such harmless beast
that the keepers allow her more lib.
erty than they do any of the other
animals in the park, had wandered
on her foraging expeditions close to
the buffalo corral.
The wise beast had seen the keepers
throwing hay to the buffalo, and after
the keepers had passed on to the deer
corrals Gunda quickened her steps
until she arrived at point opposite
where the buffalos were feeding. The
fence around the corral is of wire, the
strands being about six inches apart,
quite large enough to allow the ele-
plant to insert her trunk through the
meshes. This Gunda did and began
to gather large hunks of hay and con-
vey them to her mouth.
For awhile the buffalo fed on with
out noticing the poaching, but sudden
ly Sitting Bull saw the long trunk dig
ging around in the hay, and all at
once the keepers, up by the deer cor
raj, heard below of rage from the
buffalo. The other buffaloes. with

is easier to get money from a doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
1t is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first of
the year. A doctors reception room is
open to all possible patients. A col
lector with grain of ingenuity can
find a way to worm out of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter-
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
it takes a mighty nerve on the part OF
the doctor to insist that he hasn't a
dollar to his name"

ROOSEVELT VS..
Senator FORAKER
THE PRESIDENT ISSUES STATE.
MENT SHOWING ATTITUDE
OF OHIO SENATOR.
Shows That Mr.. Taft Had No Wish
to be Aligned With Mr.. Foraker
and Vetoed Proposal for Joint In
dorsement.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 22.-Late yester-
day Secretary Loeb gave to repre-.
sentatives of the press formal
statement by the president which
was called forth by the recent ex-
changes between William R. Hearst
and Senator Foraker of Ohio.
Mr.. Hearst in public utterances had
the Standard Oil company inconsist-
ent with his duties as a senator and
his attitude as representative of the
Republican policies and professions.
In to-day's statement President
Roosevelt makes another appeal for
the support of Mr.. Taft and declares
that his defeat would bring Tasting
satisfaction to but one set of men,
namely, to those men who, as shown
in the correspondence published by
Mr.. Hearst, were behind Mr.. Foraker,
the opponent of Mr.. Taft, within his
own party, and who now are behind
Gov. Haskell and his associates, the
opponents of Judge Taft in the oppo-
site party"
The statement embodies a letter
written by Mr.. Taft to friend in
Ohio on July 20, 1907, in which the
present Republican candidate for the
presidency refused to acquiesce in
the plan of the Ohio state central
committee to indorse Mr.. Taft for
the presidency and Mr.. Foraker for
recollection to the senate in single
resolution.
: The president points out that Mr..
Taft's attitude has always been di-
rectly opposed to that charged
against Senator Foraker by Mr..
Eearst regarding the moneyed inter-
ests. .
The president cites the Brownsville
affair as case where the agitation
was phase of the effort "by the re-
representatives. of certain law-defying
corporations to bring discrehit upon
the administration" 1t was, he says.
in large part, mot a genuine agita-
ton on behalf of colored men at all"

Train Wrecked.

Rochester. = The accommodation
passenger and freight train that runs
between this city and Zumbrota was
wrecked near Pine Island, and with
the exception of the engine and one
car, the train was completely de-
stroyed by fire. The train was made
up of seven cars, two empties, two
cars of coal, one car of merchandise,
one oil tank and the passenger
coach. The train became derailed and
the oil tank exploded, sparks from the
engine igniting the oil, causing the
destruction. There were number of
passengers on the train, but all es-
capped with being badly shaken. These
were placed in the empty box car
and taken to Pine Island.
