Mad Dog.

The usual Sunday morning quietude
was disturbed last Sunday by what at
first was thought to be repetition of
the battle of San Juan Hill, but what
upon investigation, proved to be chase
after supposed mad dog. A "yellow
cur" was discovered in the yard of the
Graded School, and by non-experts was
thought to show signs of rabies, then it
happened, someone on Lexington street
fired shot at him and the dog lit for
''battle row., with a crowd of men and
boys hot on his trail, armed with pistols,
guns and rocks. The dog was finally
killed in the alley adjoining the cod
ark by Mr.. Elisha Murphy. 1t is
thought that he only bit one other dog,
that of Mr.. Murphy. Whether or not
this dog was mad, it is time that a
war of determination was commenced
on the many worthless ours which in
fest the town, and which commit de-
predations among the nearby farmer s
sheep, and which are a menace to the
community in many ways.
What about the dog tax? Are al
these dogs being taxed, if so where
are the license tags? There was none
on the dog that created the Sunday ex-
element.

Another Declines The Honor.

Democrats unfriendly to the candida
cy of Senator McCreary have moved
Heaven and earth to secure some one
who would oppose him for the nomina-
ton. They tried long and earnestly to
get Judge Allie w. Young to have a
try, and after his refusal, they hit up
on Hon. Owsley Stanley as a likely man
to take the measure of the man from
Madison. Mr.. Stanley came down from
Washington, and after consulting his
constituents in his own district and
looking carefully over the situation, he
concluded he did not want to be Cover
nor, and that he had rather be in Con-
gress anyway. He came out in Mon
days Courier Journal in a card to this
effect.
You cannot get many men to fight a
buzz saw, and this is what the man
who opposes Senator McCreary for the
nomination would be doing.

Try This On A Balky Horse.

When a horse balks do not whip,
scold or quarrel with it. "Speak gent
ly." Be patient. Take time. Go to
the bit. Fasten a strap around one
front leg, between the hoof and fetlock,
and tie the foot up to the names, or
hold it up, as the case may be, compel
ling the horse to stand on three legs
while it rests (O. Resting will very soon
become more irksome than going. But
with kindly "whoas" and the continued
holding by the bit, compel the horse to
stand until thoroughly anxious to go,
which will not be long, when the foot
should be let down and the animal al
lowed to go. Repeat the process as
often as the occasion demands, increas-
ing rather than diminishing the time of
the restraint.

Stanford Interior Journal-There
were about 500 cattle on the market
here Monday, court day, but trading
was rather dull owing to the high
prices asked. Some extra good stuff
brought as high as cents and many
traders whose cattle were not so classy
seemed to think they ought to get the
top notch figure too, hence the inactiv-
ity of the market. Cattle buyers and
traders were here from a dozen coun-
ties.

and in the county, if the town thrives,
the county thrives with it, if the town
falls, they go down together.
The county seat is the seat of gov
eminent, the capitol, the trade mart,
the seat of the leading educational in
situations; and the residents of the
county should be equally as much in
terested in its welfare as those who
dwell within its limits. The advance
ment of their commercial interests
means a better market for the products
of the farm; the betterment of the ed
ucational facilities means better schools
closer at home. AS the value of prop
erty in your county seat advances in
value, so in like proportion does the
value of farming land advance. All
things being equal, give the home town
the preference. If your farm products
will bring you equally as much in your
home market, market them there, then
if the proceeds are to be spent, spend
them with your home merchant, pro-
vided you can do as well there as else
where. If the money is to be placed in
bank and you have no bank near your
home, leave it in your county seat bank /;
do not take it to a nelghboring county,
because perhaps it is little nearer.
Every dollar treated thus harms your
home county that m oh, for the stabili-
ty of your banks, and the financial show
ing they are able to make, has its in
fluence and goes to enhance the value
of your land and its products in the
eyes of the outside world.
Come to town often, visit our church
es, attend our public gatherings, get
better acquainted with the people, learn
the condition of the market, the schools
and all the bushes institutions, and then
when you start to haul that load of
corn to an adjoining county to market,
stop and think about the home market,
and probably you will change your mind
and bring it here.
On the other hand, the countryman
should be made to feel at home when
he comes to town, made to feel that he
is one of US, that our interests are I'D
entical, and shown that his presence is
appreciated. If he is accustomed to
doing his trading at the county store in
his own immediate neighborhood, that
is all right and proper, but perhaps you
may interest him in something which is
not obtainable at that store. Any way
he is citizen of the county,, and as
such is entitled to consideration. In.
vite him to come in often, to church,
to the various gatherings which occur,
in short make him feel as much al
home as possible.
The time is near at hand when if we
keep up with the pace Of neighborine
counties, we must all stand togethe,
and put up an united front, must worl
together for the common good. It i.
more than probable that in the neal
future tobacco market will be estab
lished in this county, in your county
seat. This may be done by individuals

sleeve and the pearls slipped from his
fingers. With a quick movement Bruce
stopped and caught lem before they
fell to the ground. and, whipping a
handkerchief from his coat, he wiped
away the moisture.
The Oriental, recovering himself,
bent very low, murmuring an abject
apology. A frown had sprung to
Bruce's face: he said something has
tily, in some dialect, his tone sharply
much to have known what it was. The
detective had, at that instant, invol-
unfairly risen from his seat. What

out. Along the horizon the vague
warmth of heat-lightning made itself
manifest: a hemlock, on the second,
stood out with spectral-like vividness.
Bolger's pulses beat faster. Around
him, heads began unaccountably to
nod this way and that, as If a gust Of

"Beastly motor broke down, don't

Sorry!-Veryl" A voice, broadly ac-
cented, slightly bored, fell upon graf
ified ears; it was Sir Archibald him
self who was speaking. Mr. Goldberg
had not raised expectations in vain.
The Englishman came forward from
the direction Of the house, followed by
the other late arrivals. Bolger's
glance swerved an instant to him, then
returned to Chatfield Bruce.
That gentleman no longer had the
pearls; he had returned them to Miss
Goldberg. There was no doubt about
that: Bolger saw them very distinctly.
He gave half sigh, as of relief: he

Sharpshooters In Duel.

Len Doremus was the crack sharp
shooter of Gen. A. p. Hills division
1t was his boast when the war was not
yet two years old that he had picked
off thirty odd Yankees. some OF whom
were officers of high rank. No doubt
he had done 1t.
Pete Martin of Gen. Slocum's divis-
ion was his equal in skill and daring
He and Len had been intimate friends
before the war, and the dearest wish
of each was a chance to draw bead
on the other. They manoeuvred for a
long time to do so without success
One sultry afternoon In the summer OF
1863 while both were scouting a
stretch of woods between the lines
they came face to face so suddenly
that neither had an advantage.
Lets fight fair!" called Len, in
stantly recognizing his enemy.
"All right: you do the counting
Make ready"
Each man brought his rifle to his
shoulder and took deliberate aim al
the breast of the other. In clear
even voice Len called:
"One-twO-three!
The weapons rang out at the same
instant. Then each lowered his gun
and stared I'm amaZement at each 9TH
er. Neither had been graZed
"Goodby!" called Len with an oath
of disgust as he turned or his heeI
and walked away.
THE same to you," replied Pete
fully as chagrined as ne.
Since both were unerring rifle shots
their mutual nausea was beyond de-
scription. They could not understand
it.
After the war they met at a reunion
Of the Blue and Gray. Recalling their
former encounter, Len said:
Il have never been able to figure II
out; have yOu?"
Yes" replied Pete with a grin
Our aim was true, but the bullets
met in midair and each smashed the
other"
He was right.-Los Angeles Times.

TEMPERATURE OF OCEAN.
Atlantic Deeps Colder Than Formerly
Great Floating Meadows.


Sir John Murray called attention to
the fact that the temperature Of the
ocean Is changing. The Atlantic deeps
are colder now than at the time Of the
Challenger expedition, thirty-five years
ago. and there is apparently a cycle
of this change in the north Atlantic.
In the North Sea the spawning
grounds are distinctly the places Of
current from the Atlantic, and for the
different fish correspond with the de-
gree of salinity Of the water. What
the reason for this Is has not yet been
determined, but it Is important from
the food Of man standpoint to know
where the fish are to be found and why
the places to which they resort change.
The different fish select spawning
grounds and they distribute them
selves from a given centre, this har-
ing been determined by means Of
marked individuals.
Another interesting story was the
means of telling the age Of the fish.
The otoliths, or as they are popularly
called earbones, can be used for this
purpose on which the same principle
as the trunk of a tree gives evidence
Of its growth. In both there are rings,
one for each year. The scales Of cer-
tain of the fishes give similar indica-
tions. The herring may grow to IL
or IL years. BY the width in the ear
lier rings the fish may be located as
to spring or fall hatch. Further than
this there Is evidence Of certain years
being better for the propagation of
fish than others. The catcnes Of a
number of seasons point to 1904 as
prolific year and the fish born in that
year formed an important portion of
the catch till within year or two.
The sea is crowded with life. So
minute are the forms that nets of
hardly greater cOarseness than silk
pocket handkerchief are used, 1t hav-
ing been found that what were for
merly considered to be fine nets caught
less than per cent of the actual life
in the water through which they were
taken. The surface growth-plankton
it is called-consists Of plants and ami
mails and these require food just as
any other plants or animals do. THE
surface of the sea Is a great fioaling
meadow" said the speaker, land
there is more vegetable matter in 1t,
including to the depth OF a hundred
fathoms, than on any meadow or for
est tract on land"
He suggested that it might be pos
sible to cultivate the ocean by fur
nishing to the water. perhaps by means
of sewage, some lacking elements, so
that certain places might be made at
tractive to food fish and be economi-
calIy valuable. He noted further how
at the meeting Of cold and warm cur
rents the life Is particularly abundant.
One such place Is off the elbow of
Cap Cod, and there the plants and
animals congregate. These small
plants are fundamental food supply
not only Of the surface larger organ
isms but of those at all depths below.
