Treatment of Live Stock.

Horses and, in fact, all domestic
animals, are very much more i'm
pressionable than they are generally
supposed to be. Cattle which have
had a kind master, man of gentle
but firm nature, show the effect of
their associations as a breed or
strain. Years OF impressed with
such force as to become a bred char
acteristic. In short, good treatment
not only makes an impression on the
individuals, but are keen judge can
tell pretty nearly what sort of as
sociation horse has had by his tenn
permanent.
The Importance of creating a good
temperament in a trotting or racing
horse should not be underrated.
The horse with a good temperament
will do more work and do it better
than one which has not got a we'll
balanced temperament.

EXCUSE Us, COLONEL!

Col. Roosevelt says, in a recent
number of The Outlook, that: No
self-respecting man should stay with
in the Republican party" under ex-
isting conditions. That's rather hard
on us, Colonel. We have been in
the Republican party for good
many years. Our fathers were in the
party before us. We feel at home in
it. We should hate to leave it. But,
at the same time, we want to retain
our self-respect. Can't the thing be
compromised some way, Colonel?
Suppose we should discard Senator
LaFollette, a pretty lively Progress
sive Republican out in Wisconsin?
How would that do? Or suppose we
should drop Hon. William Finn,
head of the present Republican or
ganization in Pennsylvania. Wouldn't
that fix it up for us so that we could
stay in the party? We don't like to
part company, on such short notice,
with Lincoln and Garfield and Nc
Kinley and the other great Republi-
cans of the past. There have been
good many men in the party in years
gone by for whom we have had great
reverence. We often confess to hav-
ing had a sort of sneaking admira-
tion for you, Colonel, when you were
a Republican. And as we look
around us now and consider the
standing and character and patriot
ism and political honesty of most of
the Republicans whom We know,
both locally and in the state and ma
ton, we can't help having a kind
of notion that we are still in pretty
good company. We want to preserve
our self-respect. Sure we do! And
we're very sorry that you think there
can be no such person as a self-re-
specting man who belongs to the Re-
publican party; that hereafter all
Republicans must of necessity be de-
based and despicable in their own
esteem as they are in yours-we are
sorry, but if you will kindly excuse
us, Colonel, we think We'll remain
for another season yet under the old
banner and with the old friends.
And you know there is a possibility
you won't admit it OF course but
there is-just a bare possibility that
you yourself are mistaken in charg-
ing all those of us who adhere to the
Republican party as wanting in self
respect. Think it over bit, Colonel;
maybe you will change your mind.

ONLY A BIG FIZZLE,

Colonel Roosevelt has been very
fond OF drawing on Abraham Lincoln
for illustrations that seemed to lend
force to his own position. 1t may
be out of place to recall a Lincoln
story that seems to fat the exigency
that confronts the Colonel.
Lincoln, as everyone knows, relied
a good deal upon anecdotes to point
an argument or illustrate a problem
under discussion. One time, to ex-
plain the difficulty he was having in
finding suitable place for a certain
army general, he told a story about
a blacksmith who was struggling
with a piece of metal that did not
seem well suited for any use for
which it was tried. He endeavored
to hammer it first into one thing and
then into another, but each time 1t
went back to the forge to be heated
anew. At length the blacksmith,
his patience almost worn out, de-
cided that II the piece of iron would

quent to the adjustment with the
conductors and trainmen. The en-
gineers have worked under the exist
ing differential for the past two
years without protest until the issue
raised at this time.
Engineers wages increased in
1910 approximately $4,044,230 per
annum, or 1884 per cent, at which
time full consideration was given to
all the conditions of service then pre-
vailing. Since that time there has
been no increase in risk or RESPONSE
bility or physical labor of the indiv-
tdual engineer on any of the fifty-two
railroads either on account of %
the size of engine; (2) the speed Of
trains; or 90 the loading of trains" "
The spokesman for the railroads
also said: There we're zoos loco
motives purchased since the last ad-
justment with the engineers for the
fifty-two roads; only 6S of these en-
gines were of the Mallet or double
engine type, and most of them we're
purchased for helper service; 202
were of the Mikado type; SO Con-
solidation type, while 524 had about
10 per cent. excess capacity over an
engine with slightly less than 200,-
600 pounds on drivers; from which
it is quite clear this could hardly be
used as an argument for increase in
compensation based on the size OF
engine"

WHO GETS THE PROFIT?

From a Georgia paper we learn
that the price of watermelons has
fallen so low that in one county
three thousand acres of the fruit are
allowed to rot because the prices
will not pay for the picking, One
grower complains that he shipped a
carload to Philadelphia and got $5
after paying expenses. Watermelons
are far from being cheap here in
Honesdale and We would like to
know how it is that the consumer
pays so much and the grower gets
nothing. A good many melons can
be packed in a car and the freight
on any one melon is not much. 1t
looks as if we aught to be paying
no more than ten cents each for a
good melon. Who gets the surplus?

not make anything else it at least
would make a bolt, and so he sat
about trying to make a bolt of the
intractable metal. But it was not
success as a bolt any more than it
was as an ak or a hammer. Finally
in disgust the blacksmith hurled the
hot iron into a tub of water and ex-
claimed: We'll, if it won't make any
thing else it will make big fizzle."
The cold water that is being dash
ed on the Roosevelt boom and third
party movement from all parts of the
country suggests that this is what the
Coloners third party movement is
about to resolve itself into.

MUST NOT MASQUERADE.

Let the whole thing be perfectly
clear. There must be no praise of
winning by fair means or foul.
Roosevelt is entirely at liberty to
start his third party movement but
let him and his followers squarely
shoulder their responsibilities. They
must go to the polls in November as
an Independent party, and any at
tempt to smuggle themselves upon
the official ballot as Republicans will
only invite the adherence of honor
able men.

About year ago it was reported
that there was a big increase in the
price of shoes in prospect. This
year it is announced that twenty per
cent. will be added on September l.
That is ridiculous. 1t seems likely
that the price of shoes will increase
somewhat on account of the high
price and scarcity of leather, but
twenty per cent. is out of the ques-
tion. Retail dealers here say that
most of their contracts for fall shoes
were made long ago and that there
is not likely to be much difference
TO the consumer save in some of the
higher grades. One explanation of
the alleged rise is that automobiles
consume so much leather. 1t is true
that this Industry consumes a good
deal OF leather, but with free hides
this ought not to do much more than
tax the tanneries to equal the de-
mand. We are assured by those
who ought to know that the price Of
shoes is not likely to increase more
than a small sum on a few grades,
and that the public has no need Of
anxiety on this subject in contem-
plating the increased cost of living.

BEAUTY TRUTHS
Pimples, Sallowness, Blotches and
Dull Eyes Caused by Stomach.

Beauty is only skin keep, but
that's deep enough to satisfy most
women, also men.
In order to keep the skin in
clear, clean, healthy condition, the
stomach must supply the blood
plenty of nutrition. AS long as the
stomach is out of order and the
blood lacks proper nourishment, the
skin will be affected.
If you want a perfect skin that
you will be proud of, take a weeks
treatment of MI-O-NA stomach
tablets.
Get a fifty cent box to-day, and IL
you are not satisfied after a weeks
treatment, you can have your money
back.
