CHEETAH HUNT IN INDIA
Sport Was Once Very Popular VIA
English Residents-Is 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.
It was practiced both by Hindu
and Mohammedan chieftains over the
greater part of India, for the cheetah
even now is not rare beast, and a
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, 1t was not only In
dams who INDUCED in this form of
sport.
1t was enjoyed and practiced by
Europeans as well in the days when
they were content to abide in India
for fifteen years at stretch and
when they lived l'Indienne in a 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.

Dinner
Adventures

Young Mrs. Wilton hurried guiltily
through the dusk. This was the third
time within week that she had at
blended reception and remained so
long that her conscience, if not her
husband, reproached her.
I'll stay at home tomorrow and get
up regular dinner frills and ALL"
she promised herself, penitently.
The dining room clock chimed half
past 5 as she opened her door. There
was no time to change her dress, so,
slipping big apron over her finery,
she flew into the kitchen. There she
put on the kettle, turned the heat on
full blast under the oven and in ten
minutes more was Topping biscuits
into buttered pans.
She flew in and out of the kitchen
and the dining room with the beauti-
full quickness and sureness that some
times comes as a result of a happy,
restful, worry free day She felt
somehow that dinner would be good,
even though it was hurriedly pre-
pared.

Man and the Rat.

Man and the rat go everywhere and
eat everything. They are the two.
creatures that dwell in houses and
travel in ships. Each drives its other
rivals to the wall, but neither, except
locally and for brief periods, has ever
come near to discriminating the other.
The use of cement is greatly facilitat-
ing the fight going on against the
rats.

ALSCHULER HERE
IN HAPPY FRAME
Democratic Gubernatorial As
pirant Pleased With Loyalty
of Old Time Friends.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE
Says He Prizes This Most of ALTO
Give Informal Reception at
Harper This Evening.

Il am sure I am meeting with the
most cordial reception by republicans
as well as democrats throughout the
state in my canvass" said Hon. Sam
uel Aischuler of Aurora, candidate for
the democratic gubernatorial nomina.
ton, this morning on his arrival in the
city from FTeeport Mr.. Alschuler had
been asked how he was impressed with
his campaign so far as he had gone.
II am not making Sny rash predic-
tions as to the result of my own ef-
forts, but l feel reasonably confident
that will be nominated he contin-
ued, land there 10 a whole lot of en-
couragement in that, because ! candid.
ly believe the democratic nominee will
be the next governor of Illinois. This
Is the conclusion l reach from observa-
tons and assurances in my travels.
OLD FRIENDS ARE LOYAL.
"As for myself, find my old friends
OF my former campaign still loyal to
me, and this is certainly gratifying. 1t
would be gratifying IL we're not a can
didate, for after all the thing that a
man prizes most highly in this world
is his friendships-and his friends. In
these days when, unfortunately, so
much bitterness of feeling has arisen
among rivals in the game Of politics,
representatives Of different politicalpar-
ties, and within the ranks Of the great
parties as well. 1t is refreshing to feel
that you have your friends of old, and
to know that they still believe in you
and stand by you.
We in the democratic party in ILL
nois are fortunate in being free from
the intense animosities that do exist, to
an extent at least, on the other side.
Between the other candidates for the
democratic nomination for governor
and myself only the best of feeling ex
lists. We are friends. We are all after
the same job, so 10 speak, but we are
not hammering each other to get II.
Each man is out for himself, and may
the winner win"
MADE REMARKABLE RUN BEFORE.
Mr. Alschuler made a most remarka-
BILE run on the occasion OF his former
campaign for governor. That was in
1900. when he ran 10000 ahead of his
ticket in the state. In the city of Chi
ccgo he received 10000 more votes
than have been cast for any other DEM
ccrat running for any Office in Illinois.
tate. county, or city in Chicago, before
or since. and he carried the county of
Cook by 1900 majority, notwithstand-
lg that Mr.. Bryan. running for presi-
dent on the same ticket, lost the coun-
u by 1880.
CLAIM or AVAILABILITY.
It is on this account that Mr.. Al
sculers friends claim that, from the
standpoint OF availability. he possesses

distinct advantages. They maintain
that, having made the race at a time
when democratic prospects were not
the brightest in the state and made
such a remarkable showing then,
he is entitled to consideration at
a time like the present when the nom
ination carries with it reasonable as
surance of election. On the question of
fitness there is no dispute. Republi.
cans and democrats alike concede this
No man stands higher in the public re.
gard both as it involves ability and
integrity, than Sam Alschuler.
INFORMAL RECEPTION TONIGHT.
Mr. Alschuler was met at the Mil.
waukee station by a number of per-
sonal friends on his arrival shortly be.
fore noon, and was escorted to the
Rock Island club. Early this after.
noon he made number of calls on per.
sonal friends in the city, and ther
hurried away to Moline in an automo
bile. There he is spending the after
noon, and will return to Rock Island
later, and at 1850 this evening will
hold an informal reception in the lobby
Of the New Harper, where he will be
happy to receive the citizens of Rock
Island, irrespective of politics.
While Mr.. Alschuler is not here fol
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-02-21

doubtedly many thousands Of republic
can voters have not yet concluded
which candidate they favor.
Governor Harmon seemed also GER
tain of solid Ohio delegation to the
democratic convention at Baltimore
until a few days ago. When he OPP
posed the initiative and referendum in
a speech before the constitutional con-
vention, majority of whose members
had been elected on l. and R. pledges,
he provoked a storm among so-called
progressive democrats. Woodrow Will
son is accordingly likely to have some
of the Ohio votes on the first ballot.
Ed. H. Morse, Harmons state cam
paign manager, is doing his best to
put down the uprising.
At this time, to judge from reports
from the country at large, Taft will
be renominated through the advan-
tages of his position unless Roosevelt
sentiment develops into a Roosevelt
stampede-which is not impossible.
On the democratic side, it will be a
case of the allies against Woodrow
Wilson. The latter will be stronger
than any of his rivals. and will have
to run against the field.

BY VIRGIL v. M'NITT.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 20.-Politics is
our grandest national sport, and the
season of 1912 opens here Wednesday.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, ex-cham-
pion slugger and base runner, will then
endeavor to reestablish himself in the
game.
The job of being an umpire served
very we'll for a time, but what could
be expected when the umpire, as full
of fight as ever, concluded that his old
team was getting licked? In the case
of the colonel, there were friends and
fans to urge him to resume his players
uniform.
Would he?
Will duck swim?
So Teddy will appear here Wednes-
day before the Ohio constitutional con-
vention, to make his keynote speech.
He will tell the country just where
he stands with reference to trust pros
ecutions, the initiative, referendum and
recall, and other issues and problems.
If nominated, he will make his fight
from his Columbus platform.
Can Roosevelt come back?" Who
are the men behind his candidacy?
Is he as strong as of old with the
men in the ranks? Is he regarded as
the same Roosevelt that he used to
be?
While we are asking questions, here
are some more: Is it true that Presi-
dent Taft already has enough dele.

Pennsylvania and the southern states,

For generations Sage and Sulphur

An ideal preparation of this sort
Is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair

MANURE FROM THE STREETS.
Oil Must Be Extracted to Make u
Equal to Stable Product.

The department of agriculture re
ceives from truckers and gardeners
many requests in regard to the value
of street sweepings as fertilizer.
The collections from sweepings con
sst chiefly of animal manures. trash
and small particles Of paving materi-
MS. and at the present time, when the
use of power vehicles is SO extensive.
they also contain percentage of oily
matter.
Experiments were made to test the
effects of the sweepings on crops. Coco
stable manure was also used In order
that a comparison might be made. In
almost every case the sweepings prov
ed to he beneficial. The effect OF the
stable manure. however. was much
greater.
1t was thought that the oil contained
in the sweepings might affect their
fertilizing properties. In order to study
this point the oil was extracted and its
effect on plant growth was tested. In
every case it proved harmful. The
sweepings from which it had been ex-
tracted were next tested. In this case
the growth was about equal to that
caused by the stable manure. In other
words, street sweepings from which
the oil has been extracted are prac
tically equal to stable manure in fer
tilizing value If some method could
be discovered whereby the Oil could
be economically extracted street sweep
ings, on account of their comparatively
low cost. should constitute valuable
source of fertilizer to the trucker and
farmer.-Country Gentleman.
