SEVEN cooNs KILLED.
No Matter WhsreI But the Animals are
 on Exhibition.

What looks like a coon hunting re- cord for the season was hung up during Tuesday night and the early hours of Wednesday morning by James Kent and his son George, of Elmville, Charles T. Thayer Frank McGoorty and Har- ry Morse of this city. In a local show window they exhibited on Wednesday the result of the ,hunt-seven coons, two of them weighing sixteen pounds each.
 Now, 1t would be interesting to add here-coon hunters will run their eyes down these lines from this point look ing for the information-the locality where the coons were taken, but that parr of the story has been deleted by the censor, so it will have to be in dicated by -. Nevertheless the coons are on exhibition and can be seen by anyone inclined to doubt the great prowess. of the hunters and their dogs, property of MT. Kent, the ami malls being among the best hunters now owned in Connecticut.
 Six of the coons were taken before midnight, the first one within a very few minutes after the party entered the woods. The last was taken in a rather sensational manner the dog rum ming him. down .in an open, pasture about two o'clock in the morning and engaging him in a battle royal. The fight is described as a rip snorting af- fair from start to finish, the finish being hurried by the hunters, after the dog had gained the advantage in the mixup.
 MT. Kent seems to be in line to win added laurels as a coon hunter this year, surpasSing even the great record he made last year. To date-and the season Is young yet-he has been in at the killing of Il coons.

HORSES CATCH AND EAT FISH.
North Carolina Half Wild Herd
FOrages- for Mixed Diet.

On the coast Of North Carolina there
are several miles Of low sandy shore.
where nothing grows except a coarse

parsley. On these banks live a strange
breed Of half-wiid horses. known as
bankers ponies" These creatures are
generally about twice the CHE Of Shetland
ponies: Every year the herd owners
drive the bankers into pens. brand the
foals with the proper mark, and catch
some OF the older animals to sell to the
dealers.
North Carolinans say the beasts must be
starved into eating grain, hay. or grass
for they have always lived on the rank
salt marsh grass OF the marshes and on
fish. They catch the fish for themselves
at low tide; with their hoofs they dig
deep holes into the sand below high water
mark. and when the tide falls they greed
lily devour the fish that are stranded in
these holes. Often they fight briskly over
an especially tempting morsel.
In captivity these strang horses are in
animals, for they have a strength that Is
teIligent. but seldom are even in temper.
Once tanned. they make excellent draft

from bankers in captivity make valu-

X. q. Professor Will Make Valuable
Contribution to States Literature.

Lawrence, KAN. Oct. a-For the past
four years Willard A. Wattles. now OF
the English department Of the Universe
ty Of Kansas. has been at work gather
ing the materials for a book on Kansas
Poems. The book will mark a new de-
parture in literature, at least in SO far
az the West is concerned, in that it
will be confined to the work Of the poets
Of one state.
While the poems were written by
Kansans the sale of the book will not
be confined to the state on account Of
the excellence Of the work.
1t seems remarkable that Kansas has
produced so many good things. Among
the best known poems to be reproduced
will be Mrs. Ellen Allerton's walls Of
Corn" Prof. Carruth's Each in His
Own Tongue" and Miss Clarks call
Of Kansas" but there are many others
of equally high rank.
Mr.. Wattles will publish a number Of
his poems for the first time and will re-
publish a number that have appeared
in Harper's Weekly. The American
Magazine, Smart Set, The Independent
and the Springfield Republican.
The poems have been selected. not
for the name of the author nor for his
standing, but for the real worth of the
poem itself, and it Is this careful work
In making selections that will make the
book priced everywhere by lovers of
good literature.

exceedingly difficult to get congress to

our intention to make sweeping arbi-

connection with the universal arbitra-

some three years ago. We announced

universal arbitration treaties under
which we could arbitrate everything.

W to try to assess or apportion the
blame. There arc plenty Of instances
Of violation OF treaties to be credited to
almost all the nations engaged ON one
side or the other. We need not try to
puxxle out why Italy and Japan SEEM

Tecklessly to mako q treaty which can

ties If they are not all-inclusive, II
they deal with subjects on which arbi-
tfafion can be accepted. This nation
has repeatedly acted In obedience to
such treaties; and great good has come
from arbitrations in such cases as, for
example. the Dogger bank incident.
when the Russian fleet fired on British
tfaWlers during the Russian-Japanese
war. But no good whatever has come
from treaties that represented a sham:

by these well-meaning persons who for

States ought not to keep up battleships
and ought not to trust to Notifications
nor in any way to be ready or prepared
to defend herself against hostile at
tnck. but should endeavor to secure
peace by being so inoffensive and help
less as not to arouse fear in others. The
well-meaning people who write these
editorials and make these speeches
ought to understand that though 1t IL
a bad thing for a nation to arouse fear
