The Seat on the Horse.

Why does a man seated near the
neck Of a horse travel faster than one
seated near his tail? For it has been
proved in very striking fashion that
he does. But why? The reason is
really very simple, and yet when little
Tod Sloane, the jockey, came forward
with practical proof nobody seemed to
be able to explain it. A horse to move
forward at all must thrust at the earth,
and the chief force of this forward
thrust comes from his hind legs. If
the chief weight is just over or close
to the thrusting power, naturally it di-
minishes its efficiency; instead of
thrusting the horse forward a portion
of it is wasted in lifting the weight of
the jockey at every stride. Strand

To Messins.

Thou art widow by the sea
With thy dead encumbering thee.
Thou art night, and thou art doom,
Desolate by an awful tomb.
Dust the greatness, dust the giea1n
OF thy glory and thy dream!
City, thou art one apart
With a gray grief in the heart,
Broken and with violence bent
BY the Titan element,
Weeping that where'er We tread
Stare the dim eyes Of the dead!
Sicily, this blossom warm
OF thy beauty rolls in storm,
Rocks in thunder and is lost
Where the tidal seas have tossed
Doom upon her, and her light
Fades with wailing down the night
Cease, ye cymbals; halt the feet
OF Theocran dancers sweet.
Yonder on the sulph'rous air
Floats the lurid giant Despair.
Horror follows, and the land
Rolls in fragments to the strand!
Yet be comforted, dark Grief.
Rushing to thy quick relief
All the old humanity
OF the Christian world, set free
On the wings of Love, makes haste
To repair thy wound and waste!
Time that buries also builds;
Doom that crushes also gilds.
Out of night the dream of night
Leadeth to the light of light.
Sister, bowed beside thy sea,
God forgets not such as thee!

PAPER OF SUGAR CANE.

Texas Doctor Conducts Experiments
In Mill at Newinston Center, Conn.
DR.. James House Butte Of Houston,
Tex, has been conducting an expert
ment on large scale in making paper
pulp from sugar cane at the old mill of
a paper company in Newington Cen
ter, near Hartford, Conn.
Fifty pounds of pulp have been
made and are being bleached. The
fiber is fine and very tough. In its
first stage the pulp is of dirty yellow
color, but bleaches out to pure
white The foreman at the mill says
the pulp can be "beaten" into very
fine state and be used for high grade
paper. The process of treatment is
not divulged, but DR.. Butte is much

STATE LOSES THE PENALTY
Supreme Court Refuses to Reopen
Gross Earnings Cases.

The supreme court has denied the
petition of the state to show cause
why the per cent penalty should not
be added to the judgment in the gross
earnings tax, already imposed by the
lower courts, against the Great North
ern and the Chicago Great Western.
The decision is as follows:
"The penalty was not claimed in the
complaint, the cause has been finally
disposed of and to permit an amend
ment of complaint at this time would
raise new issues, principally whether
the states right to the penalty is not
barred by the statute of limitations
and a renewal of the case to the court
below for the trial of that issue. This
the facts presented did not justify"

DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT
Wide Open Tax Amendment in Mime
sofa Carried.

Wide Open Tax Amendment in Mime
sofa Carried.
The wide open tax amendment was
carried by popular vote in this state
in 1906 and is now a law, accord
ing to a ruling of the state supreme
court. The state canvassing board,
which held that the amendment was
adopted, is sustained. The district
court of st. Louis county, which held
that the amendment had not passed,
is reversed and the state tax commits
sion now will have authority to i'm
pose a gross earnings tax on iron ore
if it sees fit to do so.
1t was for this decision that Gov
ernor Johnson and the state legisla-
ture had been waiting before giving
serious consideration to gross earn
ings tax laws on the iron ore of the
state.
AT the same time the ruling of the
district court that the good roads
amendment was adopted will stand,
so that both amendments may now be
considered law.
By deciding that the wide open tax
amendment had been adopted the court
opened the way for a number of new
taxation bills, the most prominent of
which is the tonnage tax, which will
be strongly urged at the present ses-
sion of the legislature. The decision
also strengthens the position of the
tax commission and removes the doubt
as to the constitutionality of the mort
gage registry tax.

A NE of my favorite buffalo hunt
III "a ing horses was small roar
or large Indian pony which
got from Ute Indian. AS
shis horse came from Utah, named
him Brigham, after the prophet. Dur
ing the construction of the Kansas Pa
rific railroad, now the Union Pacific, in
1867 the construction of the end of the
crack got into the great buffalo coun-
try, and at that time the Indians-the
Sioux, Cheyennes, Comanches and Arap-
ahoes-were all on the warpath. 1t
was before the refrigerator car was in
use, and the contractors had no fresh
meat to feed their employees. The
men were grumbling considerably for
fresh meat, for they could see fresh
meat-that is, the buffalo, deer and an
Sslope-in every direction, and they
would growl because the contractors
did not kill the buffaloes so that they
could have fresh meat to eat. This
was little more difficult job than
&estiRg every mile of railroad that was
Being built into their country. Besides
having military escorts to guard the
graders, every man from the boss
down who went to work on the grad
ing of the road carried rife with him
rs well as pick and shovel, and when
ne was using them his gun lay on the
ground near him, as the Indians would
daily attack them.
The construction of that road in
1867 was nearly a continuous fight,
and it was dangerous for a man to
venture any distance away from the
troops and the graders to hunt the
buffalo. They tried several hunters
who claimed that they could kill buff
falo and bring it into camp so that
Shey could have fresh meat for their
men. One or two of these men were
killed by Indians while doing so, and
the others gave UP the job.
At that time 1 was guide and scout
at Fort Hays, Kan, and had quite a
reputation as a buffalo hunter Some
one told the main contractor that if he
could get me would be able to kill all
the buffaloes he would require. He
came to Fort Hays to see me. Of
course l could not accept, although he
made me very tempting financial
offer, without permission of the mill
tary department commander, General
Sheridan.
The subject was even discussed at
headquarters in Washington, and after
considerable delay evidence was pre-
sented that it would solve one OF the
main labor problems in the great work
of constructing the great transconti-
nental railroad and facilitate matters
greatly. Leave of absence for the
purpose was given me with the un-
derstanding that in case of an impor-
tant outbreak should resume the du-
ties Of my position. AS rowing In
