GOOD HUNTING"

Roosevelt has entertained the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
for two days and said: mo newspaper
has a representative with the Roose-
welt party, nor any nearer means or
gaining information of the party's do
ings beyond what is generally known.
Any special dispatches appearing are
in all human probability sheer inven-
tions. Moreover, the details which
purport to be thus obtained can only
be due to bribery, and 1t is safe to-
state that a dishonorable man giving
bride and a dishonorable man ac-
cepting the same would be wiling TO
invent untruths for money or traffic
in other forms of dishonor."
The game bagged by the ex-presi-
dent is given as: Lions, A; rhino-
ceroses, 3; giraffes, 2; wildebeest, 2;
Thompson's gazelle. 1; hippotamus,

Patterns Wheat Corner.

What is generally conceded to have
been the most successful wheat deal
in the annals of the Chicago board OF
trade closed Saturday, and what is
symptomatic of modern speculative
conditions, 1t closed without that
squeezing of shorts which in other
days was wont to furnish a show to
gallery visitors and leave La Sale
street staggering on its financial feet.
James A. Patten during the brief
hours of the session held May wheat
in the hollow of his hand. He made
the price as fixed as the laws of the
Modes and Persians-$1. "a the bushel.
Through his pet clerk, Ed Walker, he.
bought or sold at that price, but the
buying was almost purely theoret-
ical on his part. He did take in few
thousand bushels from some trailer
who waited till the last moment for
his profits, but mainly he disposed Of
about half million to shorts who
had hoped against hope to the last
moment, and then, in the parlance OF
the pit, took their medicine"

Four Men Were Killed Instantly.

Four men were sent to instant
death, two others so badly injured that
they died soon after and another re-
ceived serious hurts, when the boiler
in the hoop mill situated in the out
skirts of Dowagiac and owned and
operated by Geesey Bros, blew up
Wednesday afternoon The accident
was the result of slow working
steam gauge it is claimed. There was
a,dangerous pressure at the time the
engine was stopped to put on a belt.
The stoppage increased the pressure
and the boiler gave way. The report
was heard for more than a mile.

Waiting for Himself.

Prof. Henry Beers Of Yale is a t--pi-
cal savant OF the most oldfashioned
sort. and his oddities have given rise
to a mythology Of Observation-Disclosures
On leaving his lecture room one day
he pinned a notice on the door to the
effect that he would be back at four
o'clock. Returning some time earlier
than he had expected. he was attract.
ed by the notice. He read 1t thought
fully, loked at his watch. and, seeing
that the professor would not be in
for fully ten minutes yet. sighed and
turned away to kill the time till he
himself would return.-Bohemian.

England Losing Population.

The Increasing exodus OF emigrants
Is alarming England. Mr.. Ellis Barker
in the Nineteenth Century points out
that the chief cause of emigration 10
unemployment and ill-paid employ.
ment Lately emigration has been
increasing at an alarming rate. The
net total. 71.1ss in 1900, rose to 13s. 1856
in 1905 and 237 .204 in 1907. Nations
which choose to rely for their food on
foreign countries, and which cannot
export a sufficient quantity of manu-.
features to pay for them. have to en-
port men. Men are the largest OF our
invisible exports"

AmberorIs and Amber.

There is some popular confusion OF
ambergris with amber; in fact. how
ever, there il no relation between
them. But for a long time the nature
Of ambergris was hidden in mystery.
In ancient days II was commonly be-
lieved that 1t flowed up from the bot
tom of the sea. Sinbad the Sailor tells
of a spring of ambergris that he
found; but 1t was In a crude state.
The FISH swallowed It. and then dis
gorged 1t in CONCEALED form, and In
this condition II fioated on the sur-
face Of the sea. This story har.
monires perfectly with the old Ara
bian belief.
