Following the Leopard's Spoor.

The spoor led along the bank for
some distance close to the river, at
which the leopard had occasionally
halted, either to drink, or to watch
for a stray fish; for these latter they
will scoop out with the dexterity of

fact, they will eat almost anything

I felt satisfied that there were some
leopards in the neighborhood, so I
could only postpone my search until
the morrow. In the morning I got

four miles down to the place I had
turned back from the day before.
This did not occupy long, and I was

the leopard, which I was confident
had gone down, not up, the river; in.
deed, I had hardly proceeded a quar-.
ter of mile before I found pug
marks, and quite fresh ones, too,
where he had gone down to drink.
This time the heavy rains had not
washed all trace of spoor and scent
away, and my dog was able to pick
it up easily. Seeing that my carbine
was all right and everything In its
place to my hand, followed Snap"
with some difficulty, for l did not
want him to come to an untimely end,

was unable to keep him back some

they can surprise them. A cat which
has run wild at home is a fair exam
pie of what the leopard is on a very
much larger scale.
The dog now came to a poiat at the
foot of a tree, and after some search,
for the foliage was very luxuriant,
could distinguish the leopard lying full
length along a branch, his head be-
tween his paws, his eyes being just
discernible, and that was ALL l could
not get good shot at him, the angle
was too acute to fire with safety at
his head, and unless I got directly
under him could not see him at all,
whilst the limb he was stretched out
upon practically protected him at all
vital points. Now and again he would
just crane over little and then draw
back before I could get a proper
sight, making all the time snar1ing,
purring noise. Under the circum-
stances it would have been risky to
have attempted shot, so I was COM

COST OF LIVING.

There is one real live subject these
days-the increasing cost of living.
Commenting on this The Minneapolis
Tribune publishes the following:
The increased cost of living is an in
teresting phenomenon, whether 1t is
connected with the tariff, the financial
policy of the government or the gold
production Of the whole world. All
causes may enter into II.
The per capitc circulation of the
country is greater than ever and idle
money fostered reckless speculation I'M
I'll the revival of business began to alb
sorb II. The first effect of this revival
OF business is higher prices for every
thing. Manufacturers of protected
goods put UP prices as soon as they
felt the new tariff bill was going to
pass.
But that could not effect cereals, cof-
fee or raw cotton, all of which have
risen. There is a short crop of cotton,
but not Of cereals. The price of wheat
and cotton are fixed in the markets of
the world, which indicates a more gen.
eral cause, whether 1t be gold produce
ton or increased consumption, than
any due to local legislation or condi-
ton. The fact 10 here, however, 1t is
to be explained.
The figures Of The London Econo-
mist have wider range than those of
any American compiler of average
commodity prices. The latest index
number OF that puolicE ion for Novem-
Der is 2,s06, the highest for twelve
years except for the Elimination of the
last hot fit of prosperity in 1907. Pre-
vious law points were 1885 in 1897,
and 2,10S in 1904. A similar New York
compilation of prices of cereals, meats,
| coffee, sugar and cotton show such I'M
related articles as wheat, pork, coffee
and cotton far above the high record
after the last depression and every
thing but beef, oats and sugar higher
than any other record.
Universal high prices are no great
matter in the exchanges of business
and incomes from earnings soon be-
come adjusted to them by rise of wages
and salaries. Incomes from investment
lose purchasing power but nobody has
much sympathy with people who live
on invested money.

CRUSADE AGAINST SMOKING.


A curious and Interesting fight Ii
that which has Just broken out between
a company running an elevated rail-
road in Chicago and the smokers who
patronize the line.
The company has adopted a rule
prohibiting smoking in the cars The
smokers continue to smoke, regardless
OF the order, and some Of them rather
invite legal test OF the matter.
The company bases its action on the
argument that smoking cars are un-
sanitary-that most Of the persons who
use the cars are not smokers, and are
entitled TO exemption from annoyance,
and that the trip is so short-the ut
most limit being forty-five minutes be-
tween terminals-that smokers could
very easily accustom themselves to do
ing without the weed for that little
season, and so on.
But the appeal does not seem to be
and the courts may have to
settle the matter.

DEMOCRATIC PAPERS.

The present row between the lessees
of The Fargo News and Colonies Kelly
and Bloom of Devils Lake is attract
ing considerable attention among the
newspaper boys. 1t looks like the in
side deals on the local democratic daily
may be thoroughly exposed before the
controversy is over.
The News charges that Kelly and
Bloom have endeavored to secure con-
trol Of the Fargo publication. 1t also
insists that the Devils Lakers attempt
ed TO use unfair means and throw down
certain stockholders.
This Is strenuously denied by Colo
mel Kelly who tells how some of the
democrats Of the state were caught for
$4,000 and worked by the Northern
Trust Co. into assuming the obIiga-
tions the trust people had incurred In
backing an unsuccessful enterprise.
The present lessees are charged with
violations of the terms of the lease
ana OF turning the sheet into an insur-
gent rather than democratic publica-
ton.

Random Thoughts on the Gentle Arr
of Advertisins-And Results.
The comparative merits OF the morn
ing and evening newspaper as an adj
vertising medium is an interesting
study. It's careful consideration cam
not but result in favor of the evening
as against the morning paper. Not
long ago prominent San Francisco
daily argued editorially that in order
to equal the evening paper as an adj
vertising medium the morning paper
should deliver two copies on each SUBJ
scription, one to remain in the house
and one to be carried away by the
man OF the house to his work. Only in
this way says the editorial can the
morning paper hope to reach the eyes
of buyers and make the ADVERTISING
profitable.
This might be a good solution in
some neighborhoods, bur in Fargo 1T
is an unnecessary proceeding. 1t Is
recognized by nearly every advertiser
in this section that The Forum covers
Its field completely, and that money
spent in the morning paper is just as
much economic waste so far as it's ne
cessity is concerned. It is perhaps
Unsuitable from the standpoint of
wishing to help out" weak local In
stitution, but from the standpoint of
necessity and economy it is waste.
The evening paper has by force OF
its superiority as a newspaper, its SUI

Evening newspapers everywhere
have usurped whatever place OF pres
tige was enjoyed previously by the
