ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, tho Sufferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear
Ing Rabies.

Whether fish can have dydro-
phobia Is question that Fred
Henry of Hancock street, Brooklyn.
would like to have settled, and for
that reason he has sent to the Pas
teur institute in New York the head
Of q pickerel that bit him at Swarts-
wood lake recently. says a Newton IN.
~ correspondent of the New York
Press. Henry was fishing in boat
that was trifie leaky and he took on
his shoes and socks. His first catch
was pickerel Weighing three pounds.
When he yanked the flsh 1t Topped
around in the bottom of the boat in
a lively fashion.
AS Henry was batting up again he
felt sharp pain in one of his feet,
and, looking down. saw that the pick
erel had made a jump and fastened
Its teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away, but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to use the handle
Of his landing net to pry open the
f1sh's jaws before he got free Of 1t.
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured 1t, and Henry be-
came worried. He says he thinks 1t
possible that the pickerel may have
had hydrophobia and as a precaution'
ary measure. he sent the head to the
Pasteur institute.

of President Taft in vetoing tariff
bills passed by the present Demo-
cratic house, the farmers would al
ready be experiencing the beginning
of tho distress which is certain to
overtake them as soon as the Demo
Gratis are given an opportunity to en-
act free trade laws.
1t is also a noteworthy and inter
esting fact that while the farmer has
been receiving high prices for his
products he has not been compelled
to pay as high in proportion for the
things which he uses upon the farm.
Statistics show that the increase in
the selling price of farm products
has been 72 per cent. while the in
crease in the cost of manufactured
articles has been only IL per cent.
The farmer, therefore. has not been
seriously affected by the increase in
the cost of living. He has had to pay
more for some things, but he has
received SO much more for the prod
ucts which he has sold that the bal.
ance is heavily in his favor.
This condition of affairs must GER
tainly appeal to the farmer and con.
vince him that II he desires a con.
tinuance of the prosperity he now
enjoys he must vote for the re-elec.
tion of President Taft. He may be
dazzled by the glittering promises
held out to him by political aspirants
who oppose President Taft. but when
he sits down to reason out the stu.
alton he must see that those prom
ises are nothing but words and that
the practical benefits which Presi-
dent Taft has afforded him and which
will be continued II President Taft
is reelected are better than all the
promises in the world.
For the farmer. 1t is a matter OF
experience against uncertainty. The
farmers OF this country. who are In
telligent, sensible people. will not
hesitate in deciding that they will
vote for President Taft. In doing
this they will make their present en-.
viable position secure beyond doubt.
A vote cast for any other candidate
will invite repetition of the dis
tress which during the last Democrat
ic administration rested upon every
American farm.

VIII the business man change GER
tnlnty for uncertainty?
This is the one vital question Of the
present campaign. II business men
do not want a repetition Of the dis
tressing times of 1898 they will vote
for the reelection OF President Taft
The decision of the question will af.
feet the business stability of the coun.
try.
President Taft has given the coun-
try a safe. honest and efficient admin
istration. He has done much to
strengthen business at home and to
extend the foreign markets. He has
faithfully and impartially administered
the laws. 1t has been his constant
endeavor to improve conditions. In
the four years Of his presidency the
country has enjoyed unexampled pros
perity and his continuance in office
means further progress. II he should
be succeeded by a Democrat no one
can tell how far disaster will extend.

certainty for uncertainty?
THIS is the vital question of the

FARMERS WELL OFF
THEY OWE THEIR PROSPERITY
TO BENEFICIAL REPUBLICAN
POLICIES.
ANY CHANGE MEANS DISTRESS
Under President Taft's AdmInIstra-
tIon Agricultural interests Have
Received Great Aid and consIdera-
tion-saved From Tariff Danger
BY His vetoes.

There are millions of farmers in
the United States. Every farmer to-
day is better of than he was four
years ago.
He is getting more money for his
crops and the value of his farm lands
has increased. In addition to this,
the national government is doing
more today for the practical assist
ance of the farmer than ever before
In the history of the country.
For all the benefits which he en-
Joys today, for all the comforts and
oonveniences which he possesses,
the farmer owes a debt of gratitude
to William Howard Taft. Under
President Taft's administration the
farmer has enjoyed unexampled pros
perity. The contrast Of the condition Of
the farmer under President Taft with
his condition under the last Demo-
cratic administration is overwhelm-
ingiy in favor of the farmer of today.
Corn was then worth about 25 cents
a bushel as against rs cents now
and wheat has advanced from 35
cents to nearly dollar a bushel.
Oats. barley. rye and other grains
have advanced in practically the
same proportion. These are facts
with which every farmer is familiar.
''It is also true that under Presi-
dent Taft's administration the amount
of money appropriated from the fed
eral treasury for agriculture has been
greater than under any other admin
istration. About s15.000,000 a year is
now being appropriated and every
cent of 1t is devoted to practical aid
for the farmer. No other class of
citizens receives as much considera-
tion from the government. Under
President Taft's direction efforts are
constantly being made to improve the
fertility OF the soil, to add to the pro-
ductive quality of the seed, to in
crease the value of stock and to rid
the country of insect pests which de-
stroy crops In the field and fruit in
the orchard. It is no exaggeration to
say that through the efforts OF Presi-
dent Taft in these various directions
millions of dollars have been saved
to the farmer and that the value Of
crops has been immensely increased.
On the other hand, the record Of
the last Democratic house Of repre-
sentatives shows that as soon as. tho
Democrats came into power they re-
duced the appropriations for agricul-
ture and discontinued many of the
efforts which were being exerted for
the good of the farmer. In addition to
this, they passed tariff bill, which, II
1t had been allowed to become law,
would have placed the American
farmer in competition with cheap for
eign labor and thrown down the bars
for the admission of foreign-grown
grain and other products. II 1t had
not been for the courageous action
