There's inventor in Philadelphia who has
invented mouse trap that beats everything

and lay it on the floor and then put piece
of cheese in the farthest end. The mice
smell the cheese and they crawl in the hose
to get it. Then when the hose gets full, he
just puts a cork in the nearest end an6 all
the mice is caught. He knows when the
hose gifts full by hearin' the mice squealin,

NATIONAL POINT OF VIEW

The reason for the satisfaction in financial
circles over the elections last week is to be
found in the feeling that the Republican gains
have been sufficient to check the radical ten-
dencies OF the party which still controls all

from election returns that is well founded

A Tale With a Strong Moral

Henry J. Aufgang, was prosperous
farmer
He saved money and got to be well
off.
He bought his stuff at the store in
town and so did his neighbors.
Almost every day Henry drove to
the store with load of something
which he sold and then visited around
with his neighbors In town and his
brother farmers who, like himself
drove in often.
The women folks came sometimes
and it was nice and sociable and ev-
erybody grew to know everybody else
Henry ]. Aufgang had a telephone in
his house and a rural free delivery
carrier brought him daily paper from
the Pig City every day He could
call up the doctor in town if his folks
took sick or he could ask the store
keeper the price of eggs over the phone
and take in some to sell il the price
was right.
One day he GOT a catalogue from a
mail order house" and read what il
said about saving money by buying OF
the big concern (Which was many
stories high according to the picture
on the cover of the catalogue and en-
ployed thousands and thousands OF
people,
Henry thought as he read the cata-
logue.
Business is business" he said and
sent in an order for a stove-not to his
friend. the storekeeper in the town.

WILL EXHIBIT STOCK IN cuBA
J. ?. Cook, Formerly Of Lincoln Ships
Fine Animals From Lexington

Last weeks Saddle fiorse Chronicle,
published at Lexington, had the fol-
lowing about former Lincoln county
man, Jesse +. Cook, who has made
great success in the horse, mule and
lack business in Lexington:
One Of the most significant and I'M
usual adventures in the history Of
saddle horse affairs is the excursion
Just now under way by J. +. Cook. of
Lexington. with a number of car loads
OF live stock which he is sending to
Cuba. Mr.. Cook has been one Of the
most successful dealers in live stock
in the whole country. Starting origin
ally in the jack and mule business, he
quickly rose to the highest achieve
ments as an exhibitor Of these ami
mails, and in breeding champions which
he was able to sell at very remunera-
tive prices in all parts OF the country
He has gradually branchcd out into
other lines and has achieved the same
success as a breeder, trainer, deale,
and exhibitor OF saddle horses as at
tended his earlier efforts with nam
moth Kentucky jacks, in which depart
ment he still reigns.
One of the incidents of his trade has
been the gradual development OF very
extensive export business, and parti-
cularly is this true with regard to
Cuba u is probably well within the
mark to say that Mr.. Cook has sold
more highclass, pure-bred live stock
in Cuba than all other dealers and ex-
porters combined. consequently il is
not matter OF surprise to learn that
an h.st. .t,t Ia sst n
uban National Live Stock Exposition.
to be held in the city OF Havana. that
it should he quickly recognized by Mr..
Cook and that he should be both sui
ficiently progressive and mindful of
his own interests to realize that this
WAS an Unprecedented opportunity for
extraordinary benefits.
Three car loads of live stock will be
shipped tomorrow from Lexington by
Mr.. Cook. and reaching New Orleans
on Saturday they will be transported
after day or two rest via the Excel
sior scheduled to steam from the Cres-
cent City on April g. Included in the
lot are twelve saddle stations. twelve
mares and geldings. saddle bred, six
mammoth Kentucky JACKS and two
Jennets. six Jersey bulls from the fam
GUS Elmendorf herd. and twenty Berk-
shire hogs from the same celebrated
establishment. There will be also
twenty Duroc Jerseys, five boars. by the
great five thousand dollar Defender.
thirty Southdown sheep and five
Hampshires.
That Mr.. Cook has realized the ad-
vantage of this live stock exposition. is
well disclosed by the entries that he
has made for the various classes. In
the first event. being for walk ,rot
stations he has named six horses,
which include kentucky Peacock.
King Edward VII. Preston Rex SAIL,
Jim Martin 5lS4. Bourbon Chester 1850,
and Fayette Prince In the walk trot
mare class he has named seven. these
including Fair Acre Missile, Fair Acre
Wanita. Lula Preston. Kentucky Belle.
May kendrick. Alice Roosevelt and
Diana c. -Four horses have been nam
ed for the gated stallion class, and
five for the gated mare class.

of Storms Determined.
Leslie's: Most Of the severe storms
do not originate In the United States.
They come to us from the Philippines,
Japan, Siberia, Alaska. Canada or the
Gulf of Mexico. Our weather bureau
gets cable, Geographic or wireless nd
tice of a foreign storm. station after
station of the weather bureau, and
vessel after vessel in the path of the
storm report it's arrival, so that the
general direction and the speed with
which 1t travels can be- very nearly
told as much as ten days in advance
of their arrival at a given point
When = storm from Siberia drifts
eastward around the north pole and
reaPpears in Alaska, the speed with
which it has covered that section OF
Its course Is made the basis Of the call
eulation of the time when it should
appear in Washington or Oregon;
when 1t should get to the Great Lakes
and finally to the Atlantic coast, and
each section is warned in advance.
Unexpected conditions may delay the
storms or divert them from the course.
Tabs are kept on the cold waves in
much the same manne The weather
reports from Canada, Iceland. Europe,
Russia and Siberia are studied and
predictions made as to when the cold
waves from these countries will reach
the United States.
To predict floods information Is re-
corded as to the amount Of rainfall at
headwaters Of streams. AS the rain
reaches the main channel the height
of the water is recorded from gagings.
Records show what a height Of TWEEN
ty feet at Dubuque, Ia. will produce
at Davenport, eighty miles down the
Mississippi, This plan is followed OH
the large rivers, and at each sta
ton full allowance is made for the eff
feets of water from tributaries, and
from additional and local rainfall.
