CKEETAH HUNT IN INDIA
Sport Was Once Very Popular With
English Residents-ls Not
Rare Beast.

The cheetah hunt which the vice.
roy witnessed recently at Hyderbad
reminds one that cheetah hunting was
an extremely popular sport with In
dian princes in former days, although
the initiation of European forms of
sport has done much in these times
to rob it of ancient vogue.
1t was practiced both by Hindu
and Mohammedan chieftains over the
greater part of India, for the cheetah
even now is not rare beast, and q
century or so ago must have been
common enough.
Another animal used in the same
way by Indian mobiles was a sort Of
lynx, spelled variously as "shoe-
goose" "syahgush." But this was
used much more rarely than the Chez
tab. However, it was not only In
dams who INDUCED in this form of
sport.
1t was enjoyed and practiced by
Europeans as we'll in the days when
they were content to abide in India
for fifteen years at a stretch and
when they lived PIndienne in way
unknown to modern times. More than
one of the Company's nabobs kept
their own cheetahs, which were fire.
quently presents from friendly chiefs.
1t may easily be imagined that chez
tab hunting was very good sport and
welcomed by the servants of the
Company as an excellent substitute
for the coursing which was familiar
to them in England and which, like
the cheetah hunt, has vanished be-
fore the spread of games such as ten.
mis- and golf.-Madras Mail.

The first ship that crossed the
ocean propelled by steam carried as
part Of it's cargo several hundred
volumes Of book written by a
Learned scholar" "proving" the ply
steal impossibility of navigation by
steam power.
When Peter Cooper, the great in
ventor, raced his first locomotive
with a stage-coach drawn by two
white horses and was defeated, peo-
pie who feared that the locomotive
would mean the passing of the horse
returned home again to the quiet
farm and the peace of agricultural
pursuits.-Thus does the world
move.
We stand at new point in time
the dawn of new age of thought is
flushing the sky. Man has solved the
riddle of the universe; it is energy.
There is nothing in the universe but
this one mysterious substance and
life itself is nothing more than trans
formed sunlight.
Man has solved the riddle of en-
ergy because he has found a way to
harness and apply it. Since Ben
Franklin sent his kite into the sky
and made peace with the lightning's
flash, the world has moved forward at
a pace which even those who have
played the biggest part in this ad-
vancement themselves really do not
comprehend.
While certain contingent of the
"old school," which insists on run
ming flower garden in winter and
cutting ice in summer, sits about idly
on boxes talking of the folly of the
airship and how, eff it had been in
tended that man should fly he would
have been provided with a pair of
wings, an aviator sails down over
New York City from St. Louis, circles
the Singer Building a few times,
crosses the Hudson-and out of sight
against the eastern sky.
We stand at the tomb of the old
way of doing things-the world is
beautified in degree as we make it so.
The thing we elect to do reflects the
spirit Of the man who plays the
game. The spirit of the man who
conducts business is seen in every
advertisement, in every sale, in every
display of merchandise and, most of
all, in the class of customers that pat
ronizes his place of business.
Power gravitates to the man who
knows how."- rally to the
store that offers the finest service in
conjunction with the most depend
able merchandise. The old, ossifed
notion that a shop was a place for
the rat and cobweb to make merry
has been given an appropriate burial.
Today, the shop, the store, the
plant, the factory-is a place where
men do useful work; and to do USE
full work is the greatest happiness
and the greatest happiness is the
greatest good.
Nothing goes in business anymore
but honesty, integrity, and material
lied truth. The drunken poet who
rhymed verses and reveled in wine
has been succeeded by the man who
builds temples to truth and beauty,
who paves streets, lights cities, builds
parks, constructs bridges, plants flow
ers and gardens and gives employ
ment to the sons and daughters of
men.
Old methods Of doing things in ev-
cry craft, profession and business
have been discarded and we have
evolved more practical, efficient and
beautiful ways. The part each of us
plays in this drama is recorded for
or against us here and now. You
are becoming master in your line
