A Canine Marvel.

A contemporary relates an extraor-
binary story Of the strength of a dogs
jaws, which, as It is given with full
details, we accept in good faith. The
strength Of a dogs jaws and teeth
were never more exemplified than in
the case of a Ross-shire gamekeeper,
whose collie was unfortunate enough
to be caught in a steel vermin trap.
The gamekeeper, gun in hand, was
soon on the scene, but in the short
time the dog had become quite infuri-
ated with pain. Having nothing suit
able for muzzling the animal and fear
ing to place his foot upon the trap
spring with the dogs jaws free, the
gamekeeper placed the gun barrels in
the dogs mouth and held them there
while easing the spring. With a vi
cious snap the teeth closed on the cold
steel ere he regained his freedom. The
barrels, which are of steel, were holed
through-an almost incredible perform
ance-and were examined shortly after.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that IS bv constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eutachian Tube. when
this tnb is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be restored forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

So Near and Yet So Far,

'I've lived for twenty years in New
York apartments" said a man who
would rather pay rent than shovel snow
around his own home, land I've en-
countered some extraordinary wrin.
kles In that form of existence. But the
queerest thing of all happened a few
days ago.
"Rent reduced?" asked an alleged
humOrist
"No. In the apartment over me has
lived for four years q family which
came to know pretty well. While not
on visiting terms, we met often and
agreeably. The head of the house was
q fine fellow, for whom entertained a
sincere liking.
well, sir, this man, familiar ac-
quaintance, living in the same house
with me, died suddenly and had been
buried nearly two weeks before l
heard of his death, and then learned
Of it quite accidentally through a
chance remark by the elevator boy.

life, isn't it? l wonder what they'd

TAFTFAVORS GOODROADS
Would Build National Highway
From Washington to Richmond.

Washington. Aug 3.-President Taft
has again indicated his interest in good
roads, the latest expression being elicit
ed in connection with a movement for
better highways in Virginia, this TAX
ing shape in an immediate plan for a
road from the national capitol to Rich
mOnd. II a letter on the subject the
president says:
4 regard this a. part of the genera /
good roads movement in the country
and 1 have pleasure in saying that
there is no movement that 1 know of
that will have more direct effect to al
leviate the difficulties and burdens of
the farmers life. will stimulate the
traffic, and add to the general happi-
ness OF the people more than the estab-
Hshment of good roads throughout the
country.
I do not think that because this may
have been stimulated by people using
automobiles is to be frowned upon. for
while persons using automobiles are by
no means the most important in the
community the fact that their sharp
interest has focused the attention OF
the public on the movement entities
them to credit"

HELD FOR RANSOM.
Two Children Kidnapped in St. Louis
$4,000 Demanded.

st. Louis, Aug. 3.-Joseph Bocano
was taken to police headquarters by
detectives who are working on the
kidnapping of Grace Vivano, years
old, and Alfonso Vivano, 3 years old.
The children were taken from their
home yesterday at noon and four
hours later a special delivery letter
was received by their parents de-
handing a $4,000 ransom. Samuel
Turrisi, who is said to have taken the
children from their home, was seen, it
is said, at Bocano's home with the
children. Bocano told the detectives
that the man who came to his home
was a cousin.
Despite the all night search by the
detectives and police throughout the
ghetto and the terminal of each car
line leading from the city, no trace of
Turrisi was found. The children are
second cousins. Four suspects, room
mates of Turrisi who were held by the
police, were released today.

JACKS UP" HIS RACE.
Colored Bishop Accuses His People of
Political Submission.

Chicago, Aug 3-The Right Rev. Henry
McNiel Turner of Atlanta, Ga, senior
bishop Of the African Methodist Epis-
copal church, accused his race of sub
mission to political oppression, and ap-
pealed to them to stand up and fight
for their rights, in an address here last
evening.
You men and women of the colored
race he said, edo not realize your
numerical power, and you are TOO lazy
to figure it out. A popular estimate of
negroes in the United States is 10000, 000
That is far from correct. There are not
less than 100000 today in this country
and there are 4,600 colored babies born
every day. We are here, and we should
be great political factor or nothing.
AT present we are nothing, and as long
as we submit we shall have our liber-
ties gradually limited. >,
