sAouLp HAVE IA CARE.

The men who nave obtained licenses
from the city council of Fairmont
granting them the privilege OF selling
lspirituous liquors IN this city should
be very careful to know that the pa
pers granted to them were legal, 9th
erwise there may be more trouble
ahead for them than tnev dream of
Inow. If they sell liquor on licenses
which are not legal they can be in
dicted by the grand jury Just the same
as If they mad no license. Therefore,
the proceeding before Judge Mason
lought to be welcomed by the men who
want the privilege of selling liquor
Iit has been alleged by men versed in
the law that the applicants did not
comply with the necessary terms of
Illegal procedure in obtaining the Ii
licenses granted by city couacil. If That
lis true then we might as well have
no legal procedure, If the courts do not
tdeclare the licenses thus Obtained void.
lit is a matter of common knowledge
Ithat the licenses were not obtained
Ifairly, that a trick was reSorted to
twhen two members of council were alb
sent and it had rot been announced
that council would sit a. license
Icourt. And one member present who
voted for license has no legal right to
his seat. With this accumulation of
I6evidence of fraud and trtckery in OBJ
tanning the papers signed by the
mayor and city clerk, 1t is highly I'M
portant for the men getting the license
to know before they begin selling that
their papers are legal and valid. 1t is
also alleged that the proper steps have
not been taken to get the natter be-
fore the members OF the county court
which grants the state license and
here again is place for the applicants
for permits to pause before they fur
Their go and see whether there can be
any afterclap or not. Toe matter of
selling liquor is hedged about by a
multitude of safeguards for all there
is in it for the town is the Slood mon

who care nothing for the people they

RUNNING THE RHE1.
Of Ostrich Chased 1cith Dog
md Horse
and Horse.

For the person who desires unique form Of
sport running the rhca' in Southern Pata-
gonia is recommended. The rhca is member
Of the ostrich family. but somewhat smaller.
It runs with the swiftness of the greyhound or
a fast horse. and has a knack Of doubling On
its track. which often serves it in eIudirg its
pursucrs- The natives in hunting it use horses
dogs and the bola- The dogs course after the
fleeing bird in full cry. while the hunters fol-
low after at top speed. prepared to throw the
bola if opportunity offers.
The bola, consisting Of two or three heavy
balls Of lead or stone attached 10 a thong 81
eight feet long. serves to hamper the moves
mcnts OF the bird. for the balls twine about the
part which the boa strikes. regardless II
whether it be the legs. neck or wings, This
permits the dogs and hunters TO overhaul and
dispatch tho bird
At the approach of danger the rhea will often
crouch fat upon the ground with neck out
stretched under the grass, remaining notion
less until the dogs have passed This stratrgem
is often successful when the wind is blowing
against the scent. but when the contrary is the
case the dogs soon discover the hiding bird. IN
this case doubtless bewildered by the sudden
failure of its artcss ruse, it makes no attempt
at escape.
The chase Of the rhea. which sometimes ex-
tends over a distance of five six miles is
thrilling one. It has, for the rider all the ex-
citcment Of a horse race. with the added s;Itis-
faction Of knowing that the winning of the race
will result in a welcome addition to the larler.
The wings Of the rhca have flavor not unlike
that Of turkey, and if one is not averse L. the
taste Of horse flesh the meat of the thigh is very
satisfactory. The rhea is one of the main food
supplies on a Patagonian hunting trip.

many as the erancipator of the pianoforte from

pamphlet home. After reading it he passed It
to Dante Gabriel Rossetti who in turn read it
and passed it on to Swinburne. All seemed to
