There is no need, nor is it wise or
prudent, for any Democrat to permit
calamity howlers and hungry Repnb-
licans to stir up In his breast and heart
a senseless belief that the estate
crowd' have done anything that is
wrong, dishonest or inefficient. Fell
low Democrats, don'tyou listen to the
rawlings and promises of hu ngry Re-
publicans and forget yourself so far
as to go off in their camps, for IL they
ever get charge of affairs, they will
sup the cream and give you nothing
not even thanks. So brace up as a
man and Democrat and fight Repub-
licanism as you have long fought it,
as an enemy to everything that De-
mocracy stands for.

7. PINHEAD SUES AGATHA
 AMBEREYE BREACH PROMISE

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 DOPETOWN, Ind, Feb. 1l.-Al- fred Claude Pinhead, Dopetown's Pale Pink Symphony-and Mr. Pinhead certainly is all of that, from smile to socks-created a sensation here to- day by filing a $25,OOO breach of promise suit against Miss Agatha Elite Ambereye, a member of the younger social set and we'll known for her work as a local telephone operat- or. Some inkling of the sensation in store was obtained for Dopetownites a few days ago when members of the gang that loaf at the drug store saw Mir. Pinhead emerge from the Am bereye home at least an hour before his accustomed time and, pausing on the porch, angrily broke his beautiful walking stick. When next day Miss Ambereye appeared on Main street wearing a bandage over her left optic, speculation was rife. Told of the suit filed against her by Mir. Pinhead, Miss A. had nothing to say. It is understood from friends in a position to know, however, that Miss A., having proposed to Alfred and been accepted, broke the engagement after he met her unexpectedly in the hall one evening and stabbed here in the eye with his mustache Mr. F., on the other hand, insists there is nothing wrong with Miss As. eye but slight sty and that she is going back on her word to him because she doesn't think he is, to quote Mir.

Most hand bombs don't go off by contact They must be lighted first and then thrown. Sometimes the lighting is done with a match or a cigaret; other times by pulling a lit
 .ag which rubs two strips of sulphur together somewhere in the handle of the bomb. Both sides in the great war have bombs of various sorts for various needs. If the enemy is oncoming, for instance, you must nave a bomb that will explode quick ,y; if you're rushing toward him you need a bomb that you can throw far ahead and that will have done it's job by the time you reach the scene.
 The Fernch have the fastest hand bomb known. The thrower wears a leather thong on his wrist and a hook on this thong is attached to a hook on the bomb. The act of throwing lights the fuse, which is so short and so quick burning that the explosion is almost immediate.
 The slowest bomb, perhaps, is the Servian It is shaped like a pocket whiskey flash, neck, stopper and all and is of iron and brass. The throw CT unscrews the brass top, hits fir ing pin on a stone or the butt of his rifle and then, after a space of seven seconds throws it. The bomb thrObs in the mans hand just before it is due to explode, giving him warning. If he throws the bomb too soon the other fellow may pick it up and throw it back at him. Bomb experts figure that any soldier can pick up lighted bomb and throw it away from himself if he has five seconds to spare.

The big excitement today was a rabbit chase through the streets of the city. Bunny came in from the country and ran down towards the dock. He then doubled back Fourth avenue and hit out easterly along Washington street with dog at his heels. While racing from one dog Mir. Rabbit passed by another traditional enemy but the second dog paid not the slightest attention to him-just looked at him for a moment. The rabbit apparently got away clear.

ALMOST DECIDE TO
 CUT OUT SEWARD

ANCHORAGE, Feb. 25.-It has been about decided to run the dog team race from Anchorage to Susitna and return instead of from Anchorage to Seward and return.
 Seward would still be glad to have that dog race. Anchorage will prob ably not object to the suggestion that as that town took up this race first and decided upon it without asking the opinion of Seward this city was not prepared to take a hand An chorage has fine chance to make Seward feel that it should have sup- ported the race, perhaps. Next year Seward will be feeling much better)

 IN GASPARILLA FETE

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 TAMPA, Fla. Feb. 4.-Thomas A. Edison, James Whitcomb Riley, An drew Carnegie. George Ade, William Jennings Bryan. Henry WatterOn, Mrs. Potter Palmer and about 100000 other Florida residents and visitors win celebrate the festival of Don Jose Gasparilla, that ferocious cutthroat who sailed the Spanish Main with a dirk in his teeth and red rag on his head a century ago.
 Plans to organize Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce, with a view of replacing, for Americans, the Italian Riviera with the winter re- sorts along the Mexican Gulf, were to be discussed at a meeting here dur ing the carnival and South Florida fair. In the membership of the pro posed chamber of commerce would be included Gulf coast cities from Key West to Corpus Christi, Tex. The chamber also would discuss plans for a cross continent highway, to be known as the old Spanish trail, from Miami, on the Florida east coast, to the Pacific along the Gulf coast route.
 With festival dancing in the streets, allegorical and historical pageants, and a sub-tropical fair the carnival is to last until February l2. Harness and running races are to be featured daily. Most of the floats and pageants feature the vain at tempts of treasure-seekers to recov- CT the vast quantities of gold which Gasparilla and his crew are said to have buried on Gasparilla island, near Boca Grande.

BILL FAIRMAN
 SOLD PROPERTY

Professor Herschell Parker has re- ceived word from William Fairman that the latter has sold his property at the head of Quartz creek, the same creek on which the professor and hrs associates hold large amount of ground. Mir Fairman's ground con- sists of quartz and placer and is at the head of the creek. He is also in- terested with the Professor in the lower part of the stream. Quartz creek is the one that was prospected last fall by Case who stated that he represented the Miami Company. From what Mir. Parker has heard he believes the prospecting by Mir. Case was not done in the place to which he had been directed. It is said that he drilled in the flat where the valley is about a mile in width, and not from the canon up as he had been expected to do. The Professor has drilled Quartz creek with small drill from the mouth up. He found it too deep near the mouth but went further up. Three miles up he found bedrock at forty-fve feet and in one place at least he found prospects that indicat- ed values of about dollar a yard.

ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 2.-At last the warriors have got down to using clubs; just ordinary clubs, for brain ing men. The Austro-German soldiers are supplied with bludgeons and on parts of the British front the ally soldiers have been furnished clubs covered with spikes. These British clubs look much like the Big Stick American cartoonists used to picture T. R. using. The clubs are for use by troops enterting trenches on the sly and staying noiselessly so that men in other parts of the trench es don't know what is going on.
 One of the newest missiles in the great war is huge shell the Germans threw at the Dardanelles. Only air guns could throw the shell without exploding it, and these air guns must be ten inches in bore and many feet long. One of these big shells which fell in the British line unexploded has been taken apart by experts. It was ten inches in diameter and fifteen inches high, made of sheet steel with wooden plug-disks at each end. This big steel can contained seventy-six pieces of scrap iron and twenty five pounds of tri-nitro-toluol. The mis- sle weighed 51 pounds. The firing of the big shell must have been touchy work. Imagine fire cracker ten inches thick, that would blow a hole in the earth six feet deep and ten feet in diameter. Imagine yourself fac ing the duty of lighting the fuse on this ffty-one pound cracker and then, while the fuse was sputtering, placing the cracker in the mouth of a giant air gun in time to get the cracker out of your neighborhood before it went of.
