Animal Gem Collectors

Every once in a while there comes
around a new sort of gem swallowing
story that carries in its wake many re-
minders of similar happenings. Antonio
Gagliardi, a Yonkers barber, while play
fully teasing his collie recently placed
his hand in the dogs mouth and began
shaking the animals head. The dog
shook back clasping his teeth over his
masters hand just enough to hold and
not hurt, says the New York Sun.
Suddenly the dog coughed and swal-
lowed. The barber withdrew his hand
and just as suddenly noticed that his
$500 diamond ring was gone. His fond
ness for the dog was not sufficient to
balk him in his determination to get his
ring back before the collie sought new
quarters. So he went to the house for
use an emetie instead. and shortly after
wards he was wearing the ring again and
the collie was gnawing a bone
The wife Of British army officer in
India placed a number of valuable rings
on a stand i'm her bedroom in their bun
galow. They were missed shortly great
snake was seen gliding away to the
nearby jungle. Servants went on a snake
hunt, and after killing seven serpents
were fortunate enough to get the one
that had swallowed the rings.
There were those who doubted the
story when they heard 1t, but, according
to old residents of India. the big snakes
Will swallow almost anything. Rubber
balls, soft hats, pipes and many other
seemingly unpalatable things have been
grabbed by the serpents. Hogs have
been known to swallow things containing
not a particle of nutrition. A Bound
Brook On. J) farmer not long ago found
at hog killing time that one of his big
porkers had swallowed a porcelain door
knob and toy Noahs ark lost by his
little son q month before.

OUTPUT FURTHER
REDUCED BY MILLS
Keener Competition Among
Small Mills Responsible
for Declines

New York, October 1s-Steel mills re-
duced output further this week. The
United States Steel corporation is produc-
ing steel ingots at SO per cent of capacity
and has about SO per cent of its blast
competition for new orders among the
smaller mills is responsible for further
declines in steel sheets. plates and shapes,
and even bars are less well sustained.
Store prices of bars, plates and shapes
at Chicago have been reduced on the
heels of the decline of 81 to 50 per ton at
New York 10 cnyc ago.
A full return made by the Steel corpo-
ration showed that business booked in
September averaged 33, 750 tons per day.
The probability is that the next two weeks
will be more satisfactory as the railroads
are releasing larger orders for equipment
and in turn the carbuilders and locomo-
tive works are placing larger orders for
plates and shapes with the mills.
The Great Northern has placed some
additional rail orders with independent
manufacturers.
ThesNew York, Chicago and ST. Louis
has ordered 5000 tons. Export orders in
cluded 5000 tons for Havana. $500 tons for
Toxic and 1000 for Buenos Ayres.
Car orders included 1000 for the Chicago
and Northwestern, 800 for the Burlington
and 100 for the Missouri Pacific.
Locomotive works reported orders for II
engines outside of the 46 to be construct
ed by the Pennsylvania railroad.
Steel building and bridge work was more
active Orders for only 1900 tons were
closed, and bids were submitted on 45,OO(
additional tons. The American Bridge
company is to build 20 more steel barges

KOLB CONFIDENT OF
SUCCESS NEXT YEAR
Very Enthusiastic in Annis-
ton Address
coNvIcTs ON ROADS
In Address Kolb Declares He Believes
Henderson Will Not Run Out Race.
Ford, in Address, Advocates
Convicts on the Roads

Admission, October 1S.-(Special )-Reu-
ben F. Kolb, the venerable candidate for
governor of Alabma, featuring the local
option plank in his platform, fairly effer-
vesced with enthusiasm and optimism in
his address before the Alabama Convict
Improvement association rally at the
Calhoun county courthouse here Saturday
morning, stating without any qualification
whatever that he will be the next chief
executive of this state.
The meeting was called to order by
Ross Blackmon, chairman, who intro
duced the speakers and stated the object
of the meeting. He also spoke a short
time In behalf of removing the convicts
from the mines and read telegram from
Congressman Oscar w. Underwood, ad-
dressed to his brother, Congressman Fred
l.. Blackmon. regretting that important
business at Washington prevented his be-
ing present. Mr.. Underwood was to have
been chief speaker at the meeting and he
said he wished that he might attend.
The first speaker at the meeting was o.
P. Ford, president of the Alabama Far
mers' union, who held the close attention
OF the audience, composed mostly of gen.
tlemen from the country while he spoke.
Mr.. Ford spoke with fine logic in behalf
OF change in the manner of working
the state and county convicts, drawing
applause when he stated that the farmer
would derive greater benefit If the states
convicts were worked on the roads than
they now do under the system of leasing
the convicts to private corporations.
Mr.. Ko1b made an extended address
in the interest of his candidacy for gov
ernor. He stated that in all of his cam
paigns he has had a plank favorable to
the working of the convicts on the roads
and that he has seen no reason to change
his views on that subject.
The speaker declared 1t as his belief that
Charles Henderson will not run out the
race for governor of Alabama, SITTING
that he would beat Henderson in Pike
county, Seed in Tuscaloosa and Conner in
Jefferson. He said Henderson's inconsis-
tency regarding liquor makes him ineligi-
Bile; that the people are not warming Up
to Mr.. Seeds handshakipg; that "he has
never done anything in the past and gives
promise of doing little In the future. Co.
mers past record is a solemn warming
to the people of Alabama never to elect
him again." he said,
The commissioner of agriculture was IN
good voice and fine spirits, and his ad-
dress was very we'll received. The meet
ing was not very largely attended on ac-
mount of bad weather. but those present
seemed to be, favorable to a change in
the working of convicts. l.. F. Greer
state convict inspector, was there, but did
not speak.

several months and do great damage.
In spite then of the fact that October
Is pleasant month, it Is a month that
presents especial liabilities for CATCH
ing cold. OF course the best way to
fortify ones self against cold is to avoid
exposure, but people will not always
do this, hence colds are the result.
To have a remedy handy to break up
cold is almost a household necessity.
1t has been at least thirty-five or forty
years that Peruna has been a standard
