Standard OIL case. but this lawyer ex
pressed doubt If the deal could DE
put through now.
The copper folks weren't the oriy
ones who were whistling for courage
There was hardly big corporation

OF the opinion that mighty few oil the

be able to pass muster before the prln

seemed confident that the decision
would lead to a proper amendment o.

would be no attempt on the part OF
the federal government TO apply the

Mr.. Archbold added that the decis

Mr.. Elliott holds that the decree

Pledged the Whole Vote.

IL Is related of a certain candidate
for Office in the last Kansas campaign
that he billed himself for a speech in
a Southern Kansas town, on GER
tain October day, and wrote ahead
to a number of friends to give him
tips"
One of them says the Mobile Reg
lister, told him TO see a certain colored
man upon his arrival in the town.
IF you can get the vote of this ne
gro." wrote the friend. you can ge'
the vote of the whole negro pOpUla
ton in this town. Don't fail to see
him and get him to your way of think
ing"
About the first thing the candidate
did after registering at the hotel was
to look up this negro. 1t was only
a little while after the introduction
that he was calling the negro by his
given name. filling his pockets with
cigars, passing him compliments and
generally giving him the taffy.' The
negro took it all and enjoyed the &C
casion immensely. The candidate
spent several hours in the negro $
company. and after he thought the
proper degree of warmth had been OBJ
tanned. preached the real object of
his friendship;
Say, John. l want the negro vote
of this town
"All right replied John. 'T'll vote
TO you, sab. "I'll vote TO you. I'm

That's all right" said the candi-
date. That's all right. I'm sure you

DEHoRNING NOT CRUEL.

Inquiries are frequently received as
90 whether the operation of dehorning
is very painful, and whether it may
not be classed as cruelty to animals,
says a department of agriculture bull
etin. Those who have had an extern
slve experience in dehornibg appear
TO agree that the pain induced by the
operation has been greatly oyeresti-
mated, as careful observation has
shown that shrinkage in the milk as
well as butter fat following the de-
horning of cows is very temporary
and insignificant. On the other hand.
the worry, pain, and cruelty often In
flicted by cattle upon their mates be-
fore being deprived of their horns is
much more to be considered. and not
infrequetnly results in the death of a
valuable animal A neighbor on an
adjoining farm to that owned by the
writer a few years ago lost two good
mich COWS in one winter through
their being disemboweled by the horns
of barnyard mates while out for ex-
ercise.
He dehorned his entire herd almost
Immediately. The increased safety OF
the animals much more than oompen-
safes for any loss of beauty resulting
from the removal of horns. Calves
