WHEN THIEVES FALL, OUT.

The first important decision
rendered by the court of COM
MERGE, the new court appointed
by President Taft, with power to
annul decisions of the Interstate
commerce commission, is not sur
prising. It is in favor of the
Southern Pacific railroad.
The Payne tariff law increased
the duty on imported lemons.
This was done ostensibly to help
the lemon growers Of California.
But as soon as the new tariff
rates went into effect the South
ern Pacific increased freight rates
on lemons and the additional rate
was exactly equal to the increased
import duty. The lemon growers
appealed to the interstate COM
merce commission and secured a
decision ordering the railroad
company to restore the old rates.
The company appealed to the
court Of commerce, which has re-
versed the ruling of the commits
sion.
The lemon growers do not de-
serve any sympathy. In the hope
and expectation of securing power
to plumber American lemon con-
sumers they demanded from con-
gross the increased import duty.
When the Southern Pacific
snatched the loot from them they
howled and fought. The lemon
consumers, bound to be robbed in
any event, have no cause to be
anything more than disinterested
spectators Of the fight for the
spoils. Thanks to tie Southern
Pacific railroad and Mr.. Taft's
court of commerce, another OBJ
ject lesson has been furnished of
the great truth that protection is
fraud as well as robbery.

Cardinal Gibbons recent out

Cardinal Gibbons recent out
burst against political progress
seems to be well thought Of by the
predatory interests. Thus their
principal Ohio organ, the Ohio
journal Of Commerce, publishes
extracts from his sermon iii big

The Cardinal certainly did not
realize when he expressed himself
as he did that he was giving aid

Game in the Philippines.

"a paradise for hunters" Is the way
Judge Liddell describes the country in the
vicinity Of his home and plantation on the
southeast coast of Mindoro. One game
Mindoro excels in is the tamarao, rarest OF
animals and one which Is found only IN
Mindoro This fierce animal, much like an
American buffalo, is held IN universal
dread by every native on the island, who
looks on him as a far more formidable
creature than the maddest OF Wild cara
baos
Mrs. Liddell, wife of Judge Liddell, Is,
perhaps. the only white woman who has
ever seen tamarao. A few weeks ago one
came within Is feet of the window OF the
Liddell kitchen, where she was instructing
the cook. and peered in. The natives IN
the neighborhood took to their heels and
then the tamarao walked off.
But If the tamarao is the piece de re-
sistance among the game Of Mindoro 1t Is
not the only game to be found on the
island. There are myriads Of deer, wild
chickens and game birds of all sorts. There
are also plenty of wild bears on the island;
some of them of extraordinary size and
none of them noted for their docillty
Judge Liddell has one tusk fully is inches
long. This came from monster boar
which charged the hunters repeatedly be-
fore he was shot down.
Wild carabao hunting is another pastime
of the Mindoro planters and one that is
not destined to soothe the nerves Of weak,
hearted men. These big animals are at all
times dangerous, and when once wounded
or angered will charge their hunters with
all the ferocity of an African buffalo.
James Lddell, a son OF the judge, had
an experience with one of them recently
that will not be forgotten in hurry, He
was hunting and shot the big fellow,
knocking him off his feet, As the carabao
lay still he approached him and when not
a foot away the carabao leaped to his feet
and charged.
There was no time for shot, so young
Liddell did the only thing open to him
grappled with the Infatuated beast. Three
times the animal gored him, and finally the
boy made his escape. What the Filipiinos
in his party regarded as the. miraculous
feature of the incident was the fact that
the carabao had permitted him to escape.

Why Consumption Isn't Cured.

Brown had moved in the month oil
Nav. into a house in another part Of
the town where he had always hved.
Bv fall. he had contracted tubereulo'
sis. 1t was discovered later, thar sew
eral different families, who had oeeu,
pied this same house in succession, mad
lost in turn several members from
tuberculosis. No attempt had ever
been made to disinfect the house.
Brown went to Arizona, pitched his tent
on a certain spot. and never made any
change from that one spot until ms
death. Note that fact, As a result,
the soil over which he slept, night after
night, became saturated with the ac-
cumulated germs which he expelled in
coughing, so that he was continually,
at night, rebreathing into his system,
the very seedsn which cause the dis.
ease. He was repoisoning himself
nightly, and didn't know it. His sys,
TEN would have been able to throw of
the original germ-poison which it
contracted. but it was not strong
enough to withstand new dose of the
poison every night. Had he changed
the location of his tent daily. he could
have slept each night in an atmos-
phere practically germ.free. There is
a new lesson in this. The open-air
treatment is all right. but it must be
carried out by right methods. All
early cases of consumption which have
failed to recover by outdoor treatment
must lay the blame to faulty. incom-
petent treatment. Jones, who recov-
cred YOU will remember. did change
his location every day. having no tent
to bother him, and in doing so avoided

tracted the disease-a room reehng
with tubercular germ-life, and which
had been occupied, it was learned later,
by five different consumptives at vari-
Gus times. The disease got a hold of
him a second time for the simple rea-
son that he came back to the original
source of his disease. He should have
sought new quarters; or else the house,
and particularly the room he occupied,
should have been disinfected, before
being occupied by him or any one else.
These three cases cited are but typical
instances. There are thousands upon

seem to realize that these moods are only

The flight of life from dying persoi

An invited number OF physicians at

Thursday night at Mercy hospital. Prev
Gus demonstrations had been held in IN,

men were used as subjects.
Using film OF dicyanin and other chem
icals held between two small plates o
glass. sealed together, all of the physicians
agreed they could distinguish the auras o

strong radiation of light, surrounding thu
entire outline OF the body and head
In carrying on these experiments DR.

and described in a book written by IN

Why the Turkey Is Bald.

The Indians of our country have many
legends connected with certain peculiar
habits or customs prevalent among them.
If one should chance to visit the home OF
an old Indian he would perhaps notice a
turkey wing hanging near the fire.
This the Indian uses to fan his fire into
fame and make it burn brightly, OF
perhaps in the sultry days of summer to
fan himself If asked why he uses the
other bird he would no doubt relate the
following story:
Many years ago the fire of the world
was nearly extinguished; this happened
lust at the beginning of the winter sea
SON The birds of the air were filed with
anxiety, for their intuition told them they
would need heat to keep them warm
through the winter
A bird council was held and it was de
cided that birds which could fly the high
est should soar into the air and see il
they could find a spark of fire anywhere
The efforts of the eagle lark and raven
were in vain. The honor was lett to the
little brown sparrow who spled spark
of fire in the hollow of an old stump In
the heart of deep forest.
The birds focked around the stump and
tried to decide who should pick the spark
out. But all their efforts were in vain;
to their dismay they saw the spark grow
ing smaller and fainter. The turkey Their
volunteered to try to keep the. tiny Goa
alive by tanning it with his wings. Day
after day the turkey kept tanning; the
heat became greater each day. until the
feathers were singed off the turkeys head
If one notices carefully he will see Jumps
on the head of turkey that appear as
blisters.
It is believed that the. turkey was SC
badly burned that all turkeys since have
had bald heads and wear the blisters as a
memento of the bravery of the. turkey:
The faithful turkey lost his beautiful
feathers, but he gave back fire to the
world: so in his honor and as a memorial
of his faithfulness the Indian uses the
turkey wing to make his fire burn.-Red
