THE ATTEMPT TO eesMiRcH
SULLIVAN.

The attempt Of some people at
Washington TO discredit the fine race
that Roger c. Sullivan made for
United States Senator last year. meets
with no favor in Chicago.
On the contrary 1t is looked upon as
the result of malevolence still lurking
in the hearts Of some small minded
enemies of Sullivan.
The race that he made for Senator
is now a matter Of history. It was the
greatest fight ever made by Demo
crat, for Democratic principles, in
Illinois.
Some persons now in Washington
whether as senators from other states
or just common Job holders in the
departments were very officious In
Illinois during the battle.
They appeared in this state stimuli.
taneously with the Menace" and
clean campaign.
Their efforts had some effect down
the state and cost Mr.. Sullivan some
votes among people easily moved by
appeals to narrow prejudice.
But in Chicago where he was known
to everyone he received the unpre.
coded majority OF over $1,000 votes.
For these jayhawkers and guer.
rillas who are behind this latest at.
tack TO insinuate that the vast ma.
jority OF the Chicago Electorate was
bribed by Sullivan money, is to in
suit the voting public Of Chicago.
The very suggestion of the use Of
corrupt methods in an election that
was so honest and above board that
it met with such overwhelming ap.
proval from the people of Chicago,
is a sneer at self government.
Roger G.. Sullivan emerged from the
senatorial campaign a much greater
man than he went into IL.
He was defeated in those sections
OF the state where he was not known.
In Chicago where he was known,
the electorate approved of his Candi.
dacy with $1,000 majority and $780,,
Gil votes.

The Gentle Rloodhound

No real reason exists for the COM
mon belief that the bloodhound is a
fierce animal, ready to tear the person
whom it may be tracking to pieces. 1t
is, on the contrary, rather noted for
its gentleness, even seeming timid, I'M
less especially trained to attack. The
origin Of the breed, according to Count
lie Couteulx de Canteleu, the greatest
living authority on the subject, is from
the st. Hubert of st. Hubert's abbey
In the Ardennes. 1t dates from the
earliest ages, and the breed certainly
existed in the time of the Gauls. As
regards the name bloodhound, the
Count lie Couteulx believes that when
fox hunting in something like its pres
ent form was instituted it was found
that the sleuthhound was not fast
enough for the purpose, and the pres
ent foXhound was evolved from vari-
GUS material and about this time it
became usual in speaking Of the old
hound of the country to call him the
bloodhound, meaning the hound of
pure blood las might be said of a
blooded horse), to distinguish him from
the new hound or foxhound. There is
only one breed Of pure, genuine blood
hounds, and that is the English.-Ar-

executed from a distance; monogram

the same analogy and in good accepta-

Puzzle of the Arctic Tern.

Ornithologists have finally awarded
first place as migrator to the arctic
tern. Recent investigations have proved
beyond all question that this bird Of
mystery makes fight every year to-
falling 1900 miles. 1t is on the wing
literally twenty weeks out of the fifty
two, with daily average flight of ap-
proximately $50 miles. When it Is
winter In the northern hemisphere the
tern is feeding at the edge Of the ant
arctic circle, far south of Cape Horn.
When spring banlshes winter 1t re-
turns to the arctic, 1000 miles away
from its winter quarters, to build its
nest In the arctic regions. Almost
with mathematical precision the tern
arrives In the north every year on
June 10 and on Aug 25 begins its long
southern fight. Curiously enough, re-
ports of the birds seen en- route are
exceedingly rare. One or two have
been seen In the last three or four
years along the Long Island shore, but
beyond this clew to the course they
pursue nothing at all is known of the
route they follow.-Philadelphia Rec

Preparedness.

Obadiah, trying to cross the field

a foot race Of great personal interest
to Obadiah. His neighbor, Silas, saw
the race start in fair field and saw
Obadiah putting his best foot forward
and mending his gait at every step IN
an eagerness to make the creek, q
good mile away. Obadiah, Logging 1t
at the peak Of his effort, managed to
make the bank scant few feet In ad-
vance Of the bull and essayed to leap
the thirty feet between the banks. he
landed In the middle of the creek.
Silas observed this dispassionately and
looked back over the mile of field with
a judging eye. He hitched his shout

BLEEDING by Bowshot.

That all diseases can be cured by
bleeding is still firmly believed by sew
eral savage tribes and especially by
the Papuan negroes. When one of
their physicians becomes convinced
that IT Is necessary to bleed a patient
he goes several feet in front Of him,
and then, drawing his bow he fits a
sharp pointed arrow to 1t and, after
careful aim, fires the arrow into the
vein which he desires to open The
arrow, It is said. invariably goes
straight TO the mark, and the thorn or
splinter Of glass with which 1t is tip
ped does the work as successfully as q
lancet Moreover, the patients never
show the slightest fear. since they are
convinced that from the moment the
arrows pierce their veins they will be-
gin to recover.
