CARVINGS ON WHALES TEETH
Mementoes Of Days When Industry OF
Catching Monsters Of the Sea
Was In Its Glory.

In the museum of the Dartmouth
Historical society at New Bedford
there is a collection of ivory carvings
made mostly from whale teeth on board
the old whaling ships on long voyages.
Capt. George l.. Rowland, who served
10 years in the old whale ship Canton,
told recently Of pulling teeth at sea.
First" he said, 1.-The jawbone was
cut from the whale and lifted on deck
by tackle. 1t was then dashed firmly
to ringbolt In the deck. The gum
was cut from the teeth on both sides
Of the jaw with whale spade.
"a seaman then took crowbar and
drove it In hard under the first tooth
at the end of the jaw. A line was
strapped around the first two or three
teeth thus loosened AMI three men then
hauled on the other end Of the tackle,
loosening the whole row.
1.-THE big worries were then cleaned
and usually distributed among the men
who wanted to make carvings. In a
fully developed whale there are 40
teeth, varying in size from 3 to z
inches"
Many ormantal things were made by
the whalemen from these teeth, but
the majority Of the carvings In the col
lection are very fancy pie cutters.
These were brought home to New Bed
ford housewives to use for trimming
pie crust. ;.

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK ''CAsCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get q 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness. dizzi-
ness, coated tongue. foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed. fermenting food in the
bowels or sour. gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue 1t causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach. remove the sour. undigested
food and foul gases. take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10@cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

FORMAL" HUNT POOR SPORT
Where the Cheetah Is Given a Chance,
However, 1t Is Something of a
Different Matter.

The formal cheetah hunt, which is
SURF to constitute a part of the enter
tainment provided by any one of a
couple of dozen of the most prominent
native chiefs of northern India for
his distinguished guests, is, If any
thing, tanner and more tiresome than
a state tiger hunt, with the latter's
elaborate provisions for rounding up
the torpid quarry and still more elabo-
rate precautions against anyone but
the heaters being mauled. An in
formal cheetah hunt, however, where
things are taken as they come, is rare
ly a very entertaining experience. On
such occasions, as no maharajah's rep
utation for hospitality is held to hang
upon the number of slaughtered buck
laid at the feet of the guest of honor
in the official photographs, it is posi-
Bile to give the quarry something like
a sporting chance, the consequence be-
ing that the cheetah is seen far nearer
the limit of its really phenomenal
stalking and sprinting powers than
when the game, frightened and con-
fused by a line of beaters, is driven
under the supercilious nose of the
"hunter."-Wide World Magazine.

ocratio party and that the nation rec
ognizes fully how dependent the Pres
ident is upon Republican support,
freely given; for the success of his
var measures as they come in sue
cession before Congress. The people
are unwilling to turn to the Demo
cratic party for congressional repre-
sentation-and they will presently be
found insisting that tley shall not be
compelled to turn to the Democratic
party for representation in wal coun-
ellis and action.
Yet the President is forcing this
upon the country. He is seeking ad-
vice from no Republican. He is avail
ing himself of Republican talent and
patriotism and experience only as he
is compelled to do so by force Of cir
cumstances. This is not what the
country desires, as these two special
elections show. The country wants
Republicans in places of honor and
responsibility, where their capacit,
for service may be utilized for the
common good. How many more times
must this be emphasized before the
President will realize it?

DEMOCRACY OUT OF FAVOR

Whatever may be the feeling of the
people regarding the President. it
seems fair to ssh that they ha '
little sympathy with his party.
Following hard upon the heels of
the special election in the First New
Hampshire congressional district
where Republican supremacy was
maintained in the face of a strong
Democratic drive" the Sixth indiana
district voted. with an increased ma
jority, to retain Republican repre-
sentation in Washington.
In each canvass the issue presented
was the same; in each district the
response was identical. There is no
disposition to extend TO the Demo-
cratic party the favor and support
which exceptional reasons unite %
secure for a Democratic President.
Ii is evident that the American peo-
pie have little use for the Democratic
party.

elections should not be lost upon the

Providing a TARGET.

With the spread of overland auto
touring the milepost and budapest are
coming back into a prominence that Is
reminiscent of stage coach days. The
leading problem of countries, states
and auto associations in this line is the
development of a signpost that will
stand up under the abuse it almost in
variably gets. One of the newest de-
signs was developed by a prize contest
in Illinois. The prize-winning design
calls for a post which is built of con-
crete throughout. Another concrete
post which is finding favor has ever
the names Of towns and distances in
concrete letters. In the West much
damage is done by hunters and others,
who shoot the signboards full of holes.
The newest post in this region has its
directions on one board, and a target
specially painted on another, with the
adjuration, IF you must shoot. shoot

skillet in the company and let a fire
be started. Nor need a picnic con-
sumo the day. In summer it requires
but the late afternoon, with such Dor
rowing of the night as is necessary
for the journey home. You leave the
street car, clanking with your bundles
like an itinerant tinman. You follow
a stream which on these lower
stretches. it is sad to say, is already
infected with the vices of the city.

come to town, it has fallen to dissi-

thousand suppers. Up from the city
there comes the hum of life, now some
what fallen with the traffic of the day
as though nature already practiced
the tune for sending later her crea-
lures off to sleep. You light a fire.
The baskets disgorge their secrets.
Ants and other leviathans think
eventually that a circus has come or
that bears are in the town. The chops
