wATCHFUL WAITING

THERE was little Peter hidden I'M

his tail and Jimmy peeking from be-
hind a tree.
Who was the enemy. 1t was Tom
nv Fisher, the largest of the Mar

He wears a lovely brown coat and
looks like big black cat, but he is

body he happens to meet if he is
hungry-he was watching Mr.. Porcu-
pine.
The Marten family are so mean
that sometimes they eat their own
families. Anyway that is what Jim

He said he saw them, and the Blue
Jays, those blue coated policemen Of
the woods said that it was true.

Postum and Jimmy Coon were
watching Tommy Fisher. They
knew he was mean all through and

POWERFUL PILE
REMEDY DISCOVERED
Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti-
nate Case of Piles in Few Days.

For years'it has been proved that so
called external remedies applied to or
inserted in the rectum cannot cure
piles. and at the best can only give
temporary relief. Surgical operations
also do not remove this cause, but
simply the formation.
This wonderful prescription. known
as Miro Pile Remedy is SO efficient
in the treatment of piles, that even
chronic cases of from 20 to 80 years
standing with profuse bleeding have
been completely cured in from three
to ten days. Think of it! Just a few
doses of carefully balanced pres
cripton and the most persistent case
of piles is absorbed, never to return.
Quinlan's Pharmacy dispense Miro or
can get it for you on short notice. Sure
ly it's worth the little trouble to OBJ
tain 1t TO be rid of piles forever.
IMPORTANT-What is known as
itching piles are not piles in the true
sense of the word, although this con-
dition may accompany a true case of
piles. For this condition Miro Pile
Ointment has been prepared as in such
cases II is not necessary to take the
internal prescription.

S150,000 GIFT
MADE HOSPITAL.
BY MR.. PUTNAM
Portion to Be Used to Build
Nurses Home
ALSO BEGIN ENDOWMENT
Son of Memorials Founder Has Now
Contributed 1915, 900 to Construct
ion and Equipment

Secretary A. w Braisted of the
Henry w. Putnam Memorial Hospital
association today announced that
Henry w. Putnam of New York had
added $150,000 to his previous munif-
cent gifts to the institution. The
gift is in the form of securities with
a face value of $150,000 but which are
worth several thousand dollars more
than that sum.
The latest gift of Mr.. Putnam
brings his total contributions to the
hospital association to $685. 900. The
water system which came into pos
session of the village in January.
1913, through the gift Of the late
Henry w. Putnam, sr., could have
been sold, had the owner wished to
dispose of the property, for 100000
and it has already netted the hospital
association more than ninety thous-
and dollars. From these figures II
will be seen that the gifts OF the late
Mr.. Putnam and his son to this COM
munity are closely approaching a mil
lion dollars.
There are no restrictions placed up
on the latest gift from Mr.. Putnam
but it is presumably made with the
understanding that Whatever portion
of il. may be necessary for that pur-
pose will be used in the building OF
the nurses home now in process OF
construction and for a proposed ad-
dition to the main hospital building.
There is good reason to believe that
a portion of the $150000 may be left
for the establishment OF perman'
ent endowment.

soo-MlLE CROSS COUNTRY RUN
Cavalry Horsea Being Tested for
Endurance.

Northfield, Oct. 15-Notwithstand-
ing the lead won in the first leg o.
the 300-mile cross-country endur-
ance test for cavalry horses by Bob
the half,thoroughbred owned and rid
den by Col. c. T. George OF the gen
eral army staff, none OF the other 13
contestants expected to push their
mounts in today's run. They will,
rather, save their energies for the
fourth and fifth days when the maxi
mum speed with the least strain will
be required. The first run OF 60 miles
from Fort Ethan Allen yesterday was
over difficult course, but yeterinar-
ians who examined the horses when
they arrived here last night pronunc-
ed them all in excellent condition. In.
terest was centered on the eXamina-
tion of Bob" who is not only half
breed and 13 years old, the oldest
horse entered but is an overseas vet
eran, having been in engagements at
Chateau Thierry and scissors. He
was also a member of the punitiXe ex
pedition into Mexico in 1916.
The contest, although carrying sub
stantial cash prizes and the posses
sion for one year OF the United
States mounted service cup, is for the
purpose of stimulating interest in the
breeding of cavalry mounts among
American horse breeders.
The riders include a Chicago bank
er, several army officers. three mill
tary cadets, two English horsemen, a
southern breed and two cow punch
ers. The entrants include seven
Arabs and four Morgans.
During the test each horse must
carry at least 200 pounds, may not
cover the daily distance of 60 miles
in less than 10 hours, nor in more
than IS. and each animal receives the
same kind of food. The awards will
be made on basis of so per cent for
condition, 25 for speed and 25 for the
amount of feed consumed. st. Johns
bury was the goal of today's run.

1t became officially known yester-
day that the strikers are not to re-
ceive any strike benefits. as they
walked out without the sanction OF
their officers. Already thousands OF
longshoremen are without funds.
The most serious trouble occurred
at the pier of the NOrwegian-Amer-
lean Line foot of 30th street About
800 Italians, many Of whom admitted
they were members of two !. WV.
unions, were prevented from entering
the ner hv the police.
The agitators rushed the pier and
swept the few policemen off their
feet. A riot call was sent in and
police reserves charged the crowd,
Many of the Italians fired shots. but
as far as is known no one was struck.
For the remainder of the day only
longshoremen returning to work were
allowed within three blocks of the
piers. When it was found that police
protection was being afforded, more
than 1000 returned to their jobs later
in the afternoon. From present indi-
cations it is likely that shipping con
ditions along the water front in Brook
lyn will be almost normal by tomor-
row morning,

NE VI GARY RAIDS
SCOOP IN SCORES
D FRED SUSPECTS
Vigilance Breaks Up Plot
Against Homes
UPRISING WAS PLANNED
Military and Civil Authorities Keep
on Trail of Bomb Plotters-
Picketing Continues

Gary, Ind, Oct. 15-Army and city
officers today continued their search
here for radical agitators who have
aligned themselves with the striking
steel workers. Rumors of plots
against the lives of city officials and
steel mill heads gained wide circulat-
ion here but the police and military
commander refused to confirm the re-
ports.
Ficketing increased and Col. w. S.
Mapes announced that he had re-
ports of attempts to intimdate work
mer.
The first mass meeting permitted
since Federal troops entered the city
was held by the strikers this after
noon in public park and was ad-
dressed by John Fitzpatrick of Chi
cago, Chairman of the National Strike
Committee and others.
Col. Mapes, it is said. made re-
port to Major Gen. Wood today on
the Gary situation, presenting docu-
mentary evidence showing the actiyi-
ties of radicals in connection with the
strike.
Military authorities and Federal
agents declared today that Alex
ander Ivanoff, radical leader and
chemist, formerly employed in the
local steel mills and alleged maker of
the New York May Day and Chi
cago PostOfIice bombs, is not yet
under arrest. He is being sought as
the result of information said to have
been given the Federal authorities by
Anton Gorski a prisoner.
Convinced that Ivanoff has fed
from Gary, the Federal authorities to
day transferred their search for him
to Chicago where dozens of Depart
ment of Justice Investigators are re-
ported to be following clues.
Federal agents backed by troops
early today made four more raids
on homes of radical leaders here in
which about twenty persons were
taken in custody. Six are being held.
1t is said further evidence was OBJ
tanned in these raids of the alleged
plot for an uprising of radicals in
Gary although Col. Mapes and other
officials declined to discuss the infor
nation obtained.
The force of United States troops
here has been cut in half since yes
terday and SIS priyates and eighteen
officers were transferred today.
Washington, Oct. 15.-The Bureau
of Investigation of the Department of
Justice is without information as to
the reported arrests of persons in
volved in the nationwide bomb plot
at Gary, Ind, according to Frank
Burke. chief of the bureau. Mr. Burke
said tonight that agents of the depart
ment at Gary and at the district head
quarters at Chicago were unable to
throw any light on developments
there. Inquiry at headquarters here
of the Military Intelligence Depart
ment of Justice failed to bring out
any information.
