cHEETAHS USED FOR HUNTERS
Are Regarded as the Swiftest Of Ami
mals-Combine Speed, Courage
and Stalking Ability.

The fastest animal on four legs is
said to be the cheetan or hunting Loop
ard, which is part of the establish
ment of many an Indian noble.
The cheetah is a tall, rangy spotted
cat as large as the America puma and
is the only one of the large cats which
has been dOmeSticatcd so that it may
voice of man.
This hunting cat is wonderful COM
bination of speed, courage and stalk
ing ability; indeed, the chief weakness
of hunting with the cheetah as q sport
is that the cheetah does everything
and has all the fun.
Any traveller who visits an Indian
Ipotentate in the excellent hunting re-
IgiOnS along the foothills of the Hima-
layas will be sure to be taken hunting
with the princes Cheetahs. These for
NAL hunts are specially dull, as
the game is commonly driven by beat
Iers almost under the nose of the cat,
which merely butchers it. On more
informal hunts however, there is much
maneuvering with the cart in which
the cheetahs are held until the ami
mails see the quarry, which is usually
some sort of deer. Then the cheetah
is unhoOded and either proceeds by
an elaborate stalk TO approach and kill
the deer or if it is close TO make one
Of those lightning rashes from which
nothing on earth is feet enough to es-
cape. Occasionally buck, taken by
surprise, will turn and catch the
springing cat upon his horns, thus
turning the tables completely.

Edgerton People Should Not Neg

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache
or urinary irregularity. Nature may be
warning you of approaching dropsy,
gravel or Bright's disease. Kidney
disease is seldom fatal if treated in
time, but neglect may pave the way.
Don't neglect lame or aching back
another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells,
headaches, WEAKNESS or depression. If
you feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable. time tried remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. For so years
Doan's have been found effective. En-

On FindinQ Fault.

1t is much easier to pick fault with
others than to be correct yourself. 1t
is better to be forbearing. No one
likes others to be eXacting of him
about every little mistake or folly. Be
not so to others. Be ready to overlook
small things, to make allowances. Be-
cause you can do this or that or live
so or so, it is not to be expected that
everyone can do or be the same.
Though you may think your way the
best, someone else may have just as
good ideas-Or better. Who made you
Judge, that you can make laws for all !?
Do you want to toe the mark of an
others making? If not, do not expect
others to come up to your line. Live
your own life the best you can, and,
while you try to help, leave the lives
of others to their Creator for judg-
ment A habit of debating grows on
one. It is better to watch out and stop
yourself before you begin. If it is part
of your business to direct others, do so
in the right spirit, with a respect to
their rights and your own self-respect.
Nagging is belittling to yourself and
does harm, not good. 1t improves or
reforms no one. A habit of finding
fault renders one disagreeable. Make
criticisms and suggestions with great
care. Seek what you can commend
and emphasize that-Milwaukee Jour-
nal.

Has Never Been Captured.

Throughout the little kingdom of
Liechtenstein, which lies between
Switzerland and Austria, are many
shrines, little crosses, and crumbling
castles. One of the latter, beside the
village of Blazers, has stood 1000 years
and never has been captured. The
Swiss tried to take it in 1899
from it's baron. Overlooking the Rhine,
the ruins recall the days when
robber barons extracted a tariff from
every boat which passed in front
of their domains. Most of the inhabit-
ants are farmers, They grow flax,
maize, apples, pears, plums, and vege-
tables. Liechtenstein practically ex-
lists on it's own bread, cheese, milk,
honey and wine. Cattle Craze on it's
fertile meadows and the frs of the
mountains furnish wood for heat.

Preserving Flowers in Wax.

1t is not generally known that pre-.
serving flowers in wax is one of. the
easiest of tasks. Ordinary candles
may be used. To prepare the wax it
is only necessary to cut the candles
into chunks, being careful to remove
the wicks. The wax is then melted
in a saucepan over a flame, after
which it is ready to receive the flow
ers. Each flower should be dry on the
surface when treated; there should be
no rain or dewdrops on the petals
Take the blossoms separately and dip
them for a moment or so into the liq-
uid wax, constantly moving them
about. Immerse the blossoms COM
pletely and also an inch or so Of the
STEM, Then take them out and hold
until dry. Do not lay them on table
or fiat surface until they are dry as
this will crush them.

NONE NEEDED HIS PRAYERS
After Tainted Money Warning CoIored
Pastor Expresses Satisfaction
With Purity of the Flock.

The collections had fallen off badly
IL the colored church and the pastor
made q short address before the box
was passed.
'Ah don't want any man to give
more dan his share, breddren," he said,
gently, "but we mus all glib ercOrdin'
to what we rightly hab. All say rightly
hab, breddren, because we don't want
no tainted money in de box. Squire
Jones tole me dat he done miss some
chickens dis week. Now eff any OBJ our
breddren hab fallen by de wayside in
connection wild dose chickens, let him
stay his hand from dat box.
Deacon Smith, please pass de box
an Ah'H watch de signs an see dere's
anyone in dis congregation dat needs
me ter wrastle in prayer fer him."
The effect of this brief discourse
was instantaneous and remarkable.
Throughout the congregation loud
whispers Of Lien me a qua'tah," ''Let
me hab half a dollar" "Gib me a
nickel It'll mawnin'," were heard. APP
parentlv everyone put something in
the bUG.
The Rev. Sam Small Smith surveyed
the coins with a satisfied smile as he
remarked:
"Ah done .toIe Squire Jones dat none
oh my lambs was guilty of sech dia-
bolical cccentricity."

ICEBERG AS A SEA WONDER
Among the More interesting Things to
Be Seen in Steamer Lanes"
of the Atlantic.

Among the wonders of the sea there
are few more interesting things than
icebergs for their size, shapes and the
manner in which they array them
selves.
Icebergs exhibit q tendency to form
both clusters and long lines, and these
groupings may arise from the effects
both OF ocean currents and of storms.
Some very singular lines of bergs,
extending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfoundland, have been
shown on official charts issued by the
government. Two of these cross each
other, each keeping on it's independent
course after the crossing. In several
instances parallel lines of bergs leave
long spaces of clear water between
! them.
Curiously enough while enormous
fields of ice invade the SO-called
steamer lanes Of the Atlantic at the
opening of spring during certain years,
in other years at that season there is
comparatively little ice to be seen.
The ice comes, of course, from the
edges Of the Arctic regions, from the
ice-bound coasts Of Greenland and
Labrador where huge bergs, broken
from the front Of glaciers at the point
where they reach the sea, start on
their long journeys toward the south,
driven by the great current that flows
from Baffin's bay into the northern
Atlantic ocean.

GRACE LUSK FOUND SANE
Convicted Slayer of Mrs. Mary Rob

WaukeSha, June 19.-Grace Lusk,
who was found guilty of murder in the
second degree for Staying Mrs. Mary
Gilman Roberts, wife of DR.. David
Roberts, former state veterinarian,
was declared to be sane by a board
of alienists and was sentenced by
Judge Martin Lueck to 10 years i'm
priSOnment.
For ten minuteS-it seemed to those
in court an hOur-the woman convict
ed of the murder of Mrs. Mary New
man Roberts stood at the bar, clinging
with her hands, half leaning, listening
to the arraignment of the court before
sentence was pronounced.
Doctor Roberts is in some ways
more blamable than yourself" he said.
"One sincere regret / have is that L
cannot mete out to him the punish
ment he deserves, but SO far as in my
power lies 1 shall try to see that he
gets that punishment.
"YOu and Doctor Roberts aSSailed
society at it's most vulnerable point
the home. You attacked Mrs. Roberts
secretly, and when she could not de-
fend that home. Neither of. you had
any right TO do anything to deprive
Mrs. Roberts of those rights to which
she became entitled when she became
his wife.
"YOu were mature and knew much
of life. You had no right to yield to
his entreaties and pleadings."
All those friends who stood by her
during the trial were beside her and
feared an outbreak whel>rsentence was
pronounced. Throughout she pre-
served an attitude of nervous, expect
ant self-reStraint and only as the last
words of the sentence were pro-
nOunced by the judge did she relax her
grasp on the bar rail and fall intO the
arms of her attorneys and one of the
deputy sheriffs. The defendant is to
be taken by automobile to Waupun to-

Tact and Charm.

Dinner conversation offers the OPP
portunity to eliminate all disagreeable
topics. To lay aside ones worries and
keep ones troubles from obtruding.
The same should be said Of all Occa-
sions and good form particularly de-
notes that dinners, and formal dinners
at that, should be freed of personal
burdens retAiled.
At all times give interest as we'll as
try to inspire it and one of the en-
phatic ways Is to let the person who
happens to be speaking have your I'M
divided attention. Attention and con-
centration amount to about the same
thing and should apply to what one is
oneself saying as well as hearing.

The EIephant.

Nature supplies elephants with
tusks as weapons for defense as well
as for uprooting trees in search for
food. Their small eyes are supplied
with a nictitating film to rid them OF
dirt and small flies. They take mud
baths to stand off the sun at its hot
test as we'll as TO keep off the many
small insects which annoy them. Ma
ture also provides number of small
birds which stay on them continually,
living on the small flies and other in
sects found on their backs.
The elephants only equal in combat
is the rhinoceros. but neither is usu-
ally belligerently inclined toward the
other. The elephants only deadly en-
leny is the human ivory hunter.
