tion knew of the big deer and made eff
forts to get it alive.
John Benham went to the nearest
village and had the druggist make
some pellets of glue, -four, paste and
opium a trifie larger than buckshot-
Then he loaded several shells with
them.
The next time he saw the big buck
on the runway he sent the contents Of
both barrels into it's side. 1t ran and
he followed it, coming up to it about
two hours later. The buck was in a
clump of evergreens fast asleep.
AS soon as the hardened mixture so
heavily loaded with opium entered the
deer's body it had begun to dissolve.
and soon the animal was overcome by
sleep,
Benham said the deer had run in a
circle and was only few rods from
his camp when it dropped asleep.
1t was carried to camp and boxed for
shipment, the antlers and hoofs being
tied to the sides and bottom of the
crate. When the buck awoke it was
well on its way to the private park.
Benham got check for $500 the next
day.

ChIfeds' TRAINING Trip.

Secretary Charley Williams has
practically closed negotiations for the
Chifeds' 1915 training quarters. The
team will train in Shreveport, where
it worked last year. The far Louisi-
ana town is an ideal place for condi-
tioning. according to Charley, the only
objection he finds being the lack of
high-class teams in that neighborhood
for practice games. The secretary
says that the third league clubs will
not play exhibition games among its
own members next spring.

PLANS ONE GREEN TO
SERVE EIGHTEEN TEES

An 1S-hole golf course in 40
acre tract is the idea of
Scotch golfer. His plan is to
lay out perfect putting green
in the center of the tract and
place the Is tees at varying dis.
tances and at different angles
about the green like the spokes
of a wheel. The brilliant
thought occurred to him while
watching a clock golf putting
competition.
Needless to say, the plan
would be useless for clubs, as
the spectacle Of Is foursomes
approaching the same green
from Is different directions
would be appalling. For a pri-
vate course to be used only by
the owner and his friends the
scheme might be worth con-
sideration.

Empress Garden

In the ten, days since the Empress Gar

of 1900 people have dined within its
luxurious SURROUNDINGS and the stamp of
approval has gone out broadcast from
the lips OF these sirst patrons. Invaria-

OF the place and the quality of the food
have been heard from those who have
paid but small prices for the highest
standard OF food and service at this
unique establishment.
Those who have doubted the success
of this vast enterprise, in which u fortune
has been invested, need but note the

The greatest drawing power upon which

cent below the usual charge. The quality
of these, moreover, is exceptional and
the flavor delicious.

Don't Sleep Well
No Good Reason

Some people can't sleep. There
seems to be no special reason. They
have no disease Of the nervous sys-
tenn. Digestion is fairly good. Their
habits are pretty good. They may
smoke little or drink a little, yet
their habits are fair. Still they can t
sleep well.
Just a little unbalanced in the nerve
centers. That is all. They should
have little Fighting up"
A tonic will generally do this. The
right sort of tonic. Peruna is ex-
actly the tonic. Digestion is hurried
by Perura. The stomach is empty
and ready to rest for the night. The
circulation is equalized. The brain
is relieved of all congestions and irri-
tations.
The Peruna acts on every blood
vessel in the system. 1t acts on all
of the nerve centers. One begins to
sleep and hardly knows why.
Take a teaspoonful to one table
spoonful of Peruna before each meal.
Sometimes another tablespoonful at
bedtime is necessary, where the sleep
lessness is very pronounced.
Just try it, neighbor. You will be
glad if you do. One bottle will con-
vince you. Peruna is no sleep medi~
cine. It is not nervine. 1t contains
no narcotics. It is nothing of that
sort. It is simply a, regulative tonic.
