Prefers to Garry His Own Gun.

In the March American Magazine
Stewart Edward White tells the story
of the first lion he ever shot. In con-
| nection win his report of mis- adventure
ne makes he following Interesting COM
men:
Nov the habit in Africa is to let
your gun bearers carry all your guns.
You yourself stride along hand free.
1t is an English idea, and is pretty
generally adopted out there by every
one, of whatever nationality They
will expalin it to you by saying that
in such a climate man should do
only necessary physical work land that
a good gun bearer will get weapon
into your hand so quickly and in so
convenient position that you will lose
no time. | acknowledge the gun bear
ers are sometimes very skillful at this !;
but do deny that there is no loss OF
time. The instant of distracted atten-
ton while receiving a weapon, the ne
cessity of recollecting the nervous cor
relation after the transfer. very often
mark just the, difference between q
sure instructive snap shot and a lost
opportunity. 1t stands to reason that
the man with the rifle in his hands re-
acts instinctively, IN one motion, to
get his weapon into play. If the gun
bearer has the gun, ne must first reach
to pass it up; the master must receive
1T properly: and then, and not until
then. may 60 on from where the other
man began. AS for physical labor in
the tropics if a grown man cannot
without discomfort or evil effects car
ry an eight pound rifle. he is too feeble
to go out at all. In long Western exc
perience have learned never to be
separated from my weapon, and I be-
lieve the continuance of this habit in
Africa saved me a good number of
chances"

the Democratic members of the house

in Incorporating in the appropriations
bill provisions for tentative parcels

Taft Tariff Board to Go.

The Democrats have had suggested
to them a way to kill off the infamous
Taft tariff board. The plan is to pass
through the House a bill for the crea-
ton of bureau of tariff statistics
that shall be responsible to the legis-
lative branch of the government, in
stead of to the executive branch alone,
and that shall investigate and report
on facts at the request of the House,
which has authority to initiate reve-
nue. measures. There will then be no
necessity for an appropriationsfor the
tariff board. PERMITTING that body to
die with this fiscal year.

Controlling Fish Industry.

Armour'ds hand in the fishing indus
try, by control of the booth Fisheries
Company, a Chicago corporation. and
it's subsidiary holding and distributing
corporations, premises to add fish and
seafoods to other offenders against the
pocketbook. When meat
goes up in the retail markets fish will
not be so apt as heretofore'to compete.
Just how great hold the new Booth
concern has upon the supplies CT fresh
water fish in the middle west, upon the
salmon and hdlibut catch in the north
west and upon the great salt water
fish trade of Gloucester and Boston
the public has yet to learn. The Ar
mour control is through an attorney
who is now helping defend the Armour
men in the governments criminal case
under the Sherman law. The executive
head of the company is young lawyer
from the office of the Armour repre-
sentative. At the annual meeting re-
Gently the increase of capital was gen.
orally reported to be for the purpose
of capturing the ct wharf" fish bust
ness of Boston but no public reference
was made to the matter in the annual
report and no statement has been made
confirming or denying the reports.
Fish has been the poor mans reliance
for food in days of high prices for
meat and still is sold proportionately
cheaper than meats. How seriously
the small fisherman can compete with
q monopoly, if one should be created
remains to be seen.

Plainview, ILL.,, sent for one and it
cured her and she is open in saying
that she will never take pills or strong
cathartics again, as Syrup Pepsin acts
so mildly. Mr.. w. L. Bryant, the
Postmaster at Sardis, Tenn, says he
will never be without it again. No
sick person can afford to ignore a
remedy so highly endorsed as this.
1t is good for all the family from
