prove the shape of the female form.
| guess this is no news to the sex.
A corset costs from SO to $500. But
the female shape is about the same.
a woman wears q corset to acten-
tuate her hips and to hold her up.
If it would improve mere man to
accentuate his hips he would wear
corsets, too. Perhaps our female
friends would be surprised to know
how many men do wear corsets. -

This is supposed to be, country
where freedom of the press pervaiIs.
The action of the, public officials is
subject to criticism but IL any Of
them are falsely accused of wrong
doing. they have a remedy at law
against him, if, they can make out
a prima facie case.
When Jefferson was president he
was slandered grossly by one of the
clerical blatherskites of his day. and
an effort was made by the federal
prosecuting attorneys in Connecticut
to bring case of criminal libel
against his slanderer. What did the
great Democrat do? He interfered
and had the case dismissed. He took
the ground that his obligation to exc
cute what was law involved that of
not suffering rights secured by valid
laws-such as freedom Of speech andi

The attempt to carry the Alien and
Sedition Laws into effect came to
grief; for a free people will never
acquiesce in giving the government
power to crush free press. The
charge that the president has brought
against some of the newspapers of
slandering the government isnonsen-

able to talk of slandering the equa-

Roosevelt is going entirely too far.

Noah Webster never dreamed the
world would one day get far enough

that was half zebra and half burro or

happened. And this is only the begin

The sire of the two young hybrids

King Menelik of Abyssinia, following
the Skinner expedition that opened up
Abyssinia to American trade, sent to
President Roosevelt. The dams are
two burros, or Texas donkeys. One
of the colts is about three weeks DID,,

It is the hope of the experts that

both the horse and the mule and will
be- immune to some of the diseases
that affect both of these animals.
What the experts want, also, is,
a. Hybrid that will be half horse, half
zebra. Experiments to that end will.
be. begun. The zebra that was sent
over by Menelik, however, is too vici-
GUS to be adaptable for the purpose.
But it so happens that another and
younger male zebra has been import
ed for the experiment station. and
this animal will be used for the hy--
bridization of the horse and the zebra
From this experiment it is thought
there can be evolved an animal not.
merely useful for draft purposes, but
an animal that perhaps would. be use
full for cavalry purposes in the
tropics.
Time was when the zebra sent over
by Menelik was reasonable kind,
gentle and considerate beast. He
was first sent to the President, but
there was no room for him in the
White House. That was before the
warfare broke out in Congress Now
he might be useful to kick recalci--
trant statesmen into submission. Any
how, the President sent him to the.
geological gardens.
