CURB ECHOES.

Any one who n constantly coming into
contact with doings and dealings Of the
curb will have noticed recently that q
great number OF actual reforms have
been brought about since the Curb Asso-
citation came into existence. 1t IL said
that various mining stocks have gone
through the wringer and much OF the
water has been squeezed out This Is
pointed TO by curb member. who COM
pare present prices with those Of a few
years ago.
The Isle Royale Copper Company has
recently issued statement OF their oper-
ations for the last six months, according
TO reports from Boston. The total cost
q pound OF production OF copper was ll.0l
cents, as compared with loss cents for
the year 1911. The production OF refined
copper for the six months period was
4,123,67s pounds. and the copper extracted
from crushed rocks a ton war 1873 cents,
as compared with 1874 cents IN the year
1911
AS result Of the large increase which
has been made in Braden's ore reserves,
IL Is reported that In all probability plans
will be formed in the near future for IN
creasing the capacity of the concenTatof

and who has had an engagement with
the young man which he failed to

on the street and cuts him cold-what
Is the difference getween her and the
young man who afterwards wins her
heart and hand and ratif1es their en-

There's no difference, is there? The

Where Horses Are Blanketed.

stand in the street on cold day in
Kansas, without being properly
blanketed. any officer can take the
horse to the nearest livery stable
and have it taken care-of at the ex-
pense of the owner. Should the
owner refuse to pay, he may be
taken before the court and fined
$3.50, and. if necessary, imprisoned
in the city Jail, Such an ordinance
is in force in almost every city in
the state and the horses are there
by legally protected from one of the
commOnest forms of cruelty.

DIALECT OF THE AVIATOR
About Time for the Sporting Writer
TO Get Busy With New
Sport.

We have been awaiting the time
when the sporting writers would take
up awaiting and dignity it with a
dialect that is all its own.
For instance, how is this for a
mild example?
"The premier sky pilot to negoti-
ate the upshoot was LIE Blanc, the
pretty boy from gay Paree. Froggie
made a good getaway and split the
ozone smartly on the first grade, hit
ing up the pace to a mile per on the
side swirl over the bunch of briny
water along the east shore.
with his chugger tuned up to D
sharp the parlyvoo put rings around
the high tower and did the swift
swallow swoop along the ragged edge
Of a chunky cloudlet. Then he mo-
6eyed earthward, and, jolting old
gravitation in the short ribs, gently
settled down two hops and skiplet
from the happy little hangar where
his birdie makes its nest"
How's this for a starter?
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1912-02-08

The republic.of Mexico is having
trouble again and Uncle Sam has
moved several companies of soldiers
down next to the border to prevent
any trouble or complications that
may arise on this side of the line.
Our Uncle Samuel has shaken his
fist at the Mexicans and warned
them that, rebellion or no rebellion,
the rights of the citizens of the
United States must be respected.
The Mexicans are especially warned
not to be so careless in shooting
across the Rio Grande as American
citizens are liable to get hurt.
Should the Mexicans Lot heed the
warning there will be something
doing.in short order

The melancholy days have come.
The saddest of tina year.
When no mosquitoes merry hum
Impinges on the car.
Nor does 1t sing to you and sting
And make you fret like anything
But though no more you feel its bite
You cannot sit out late at night.
Where are the flies. the happy flies
That lately sprang and stood
Upon our salads and our pies
And all our other food?
Alas! they all have heard the call
That comes to them in early fall:
No more they seek your bald bare
spot
And caper nimbly when you swat.
The iceman with his chilling load
Goes mournfully about,
And as he rumbles down the road
No more he lifts his shout,
But black with CRIME and right on time
The goldman makes his prices climb;
Your purse grows wan and weak and
thin
While you look at your empty bin.
And now when comes the calm, mild day,
There echoes on the breeze,
Which DER the golden7rod will play,
The sharp hay fever sneeze.
With wild ah-choo! they thus renew
Win tIlc AUTUMN VIC"
And sneeze both morn and afternoon
Because they have come home too
soon.
And now we think of one who went
From out our kitchen door,
Who vowed. with her vacation spent
She would come back once more.
But though we wait by dawn and late
No latch clicks on the garden gate,
And so once more we have to look
All DER the town to find a cook.

The Accused Steel Trap.

ne Accused Steel Trap.
Most OF the skins used for furs
ale obtained by catching their own
ers in traps, and dea,H in such cases
comes usually al the close Of hours,
or even days, of the most intense
suffering and terror, writes j. How
ard Moore
The principal device used by pro-
fessional trappers is the steel trap,
the most villainous instrument of
arrest that was ever invented by
human mind. 1t is not an uncom
mon thing for the savage jaws of
this monstrous instrument to bite
off the leg of their would-be captive
at single stroke If the leg is not
completely amputated by the snap
of the terrible steel, it is likely to
be so deeply cut as to encourage
the animal to enaw or twist it of.
This latter is the common mode of
escape of many animals. TrapperS
say that on an average one animal
out of every five caught has only
three legs A trapper told me re-
Gently that he caught a muskrat
who had only one leg. The poor
remnant was caught by the tail.
In order to guard against the es-
cape of the captive by the amputa-
ton of it own limb, trappers are adj
vised by their guide-books to use
traps with small pans" so that the
limb of the captive coming directly
in the center of the trap will be
clutched close up to the body. No
amount of administration then
can free the unfortunate. 1t is doom
ed. 1t may gnaw its fettered foot,
and, in the frenzy of its agony,
break its teeth on the unyielding
steel, but it can never get away.
Of all the accessories gathered
from every corner of the earth to
garnish human vanity, furs are the
most expensive; for in no way does
man show such complete indiffer-
ence to the feelings of his victims
as he does in the fur-trade. Fur
bearing animals, many of them, are
intelligent enough to require the
exercise by man of his highest cum
ming and perfidy to effect their cap
= ture. Yet, in addition to DEATH
they are compelled to undergo suf-
ferings so inhuman as to be utterly
unjustified, even though the pro,
ceeds of these sacrifices were mass
es of living gold instead of skin.

The HeartlesSness of the Wooden
Trust.

Trust.
Nothing will disclose better or
more clearly the absolute heart
lessness of the wooden trust during
the recent strike of their mill
hands. The report of the Fall River
concern show great profits, but the
contention of MIR. Wood is that the
tariff on wool and wooden goods is
for the benefit of labor. The Massa-
chusetts legislature passed law re-
ducing the hours of labor of women
and children from Sc to Sd hours a
week. Immediately Mr.. Wood, the
head of the trust, reduced wages in
his mills accordingly and a strike in
mid-winter resulted.
The wooden trust is one of the
richest and most powerful of Amer
lean trusts. 1t has accumulated
millions under the special privilege
granted by Congress in the most
exorbitant tariff that was ever en-
acted by any government, but the
moment the legislature tried to re-
lieve in a slight degree the hard
ships imposed upon the women and
children in the employment of the
trust, Mr. Wood undertakes to es-
tablish the former hard conditions
by reduction in wages. The ar
rogance and extortions of the old
feudal lords never exceeded this act
