One who has penetrated this con

It Is an upright city (its merchants

worn in the examination room to ln
elude a black coat and a black waist
coat, in addition to the white tie and
the gown. The British public Itself
was appalled at such Puritan sever

thing that all civilisation Is allowed
to doff In summer, that Incited rebel

Would Not Pay Twice.
A man recently, whose banna of
marriage had been twice published,
asked leave to substitute the name of
another girl for the one which had
been so far coupled with his own,
He was, of course, told that this
could not be done without withdraw
ing the first banns and payment of
the fees a second time.
"Do you mean to say I should have
to begin all over again?" he asked.
"Certainly," was the reply: "the
banns must be pubMshed three times
in the names of the persons who are
actually to be married."
"And must I pay all over again If I
have the other girl?"
"Yes," replied the clergyman.
"Well, I call that too bad;" and
Chen, after a few moments, "All right,
I tihall stick to the first girl; I'm not
going to pay twice over for anybody."

Fine Art of Smuggling.
The latest thing in smuggling
comes from the Swiss frontier, where
tho art of bringing in contraband
goods by automobiles has been devel

A party of finely dressed tourists,
presumably a count and countess with
a friend, has been crossing the fron
tier repeatedly.
The suspicions of the authorities
were at last aroused.. The automobile
was stopped and searched and the
pseudo count and countess were
found to be notorious smugglers.
Their fine raiment as well aa their
automobile was simply loaded with
all sorts of dutiable stuff.

HERDS MUST GO HUNGRY
A Strange Fish Story Telling of a Great
Round up of Fish on a Western
Ranch Hunting Fish in Field and
Meadow Beats Fishing In the
Old Way.
The latest fish story is told by C.
II. Davidson, G. B. Richmond and II.
A. Dlehl as a personal reminisceucu.
They were down the river fish hunt
ing recently and managed to round up
a fine herd of fish of various eorts,
ranging from catfish to humpbacks.
The terms "fish hunting" and "round
up" are used advisedly, for fish catch
ing Is out of date in this valley and
the real sportsmen ihunt them In the
fields and meadows as they would Jack
rabbits.
The first place they stopped was
near the Haggard farm. Mr: Diohl,
like most Phoenix people, had learned
to regard everything that does not
have its credentials along with It as
necessarily false, and, therefore, he
was a little doubtful about the etory of
fish grazing on the Haggard pastures
and wanted to verify it, wliich he did.
He left his companions in a little
bayou, fishing in the old-fashioned
way, Just for fun, while he strapped a
canteen on Ms shoulder, for It was a
hot day, and went to the ranch house.
He asked to be shown the fish herds,
and a boy was detailed to go with
him as guide. He was taken to the
lower side of the field, where an arm
of the river runs up into the meadow,
and sure enough there were all kinds
of fish nibbling at the tender grass
not far from their watery homes.
Then the party Journeyed still fur
ther west to the vicinity of Indian
lake. Here they found numerous lit
tle bayous in which there was shallow
water that grew loss till lit vanished
entirely at the upper ends of the
sloughs. Selecting one that looked
as If it ought to be a good producer,
Mr. Richards and Mr. Davidson sta
tioned themselves near the head. They
saw several big humpbacked fish feed
ing on the grass, but Mr. Dlehl fright
ened them away by firing his shot
gun, so Messrs. Davidson and Rich
mond took off their ehoes, got behind
a number of big fish, ran them out
Into the open and roped them
In the meantime Mr. Dlehl had wan
dered down the riiver a little, fishing
In the old-fashioned way. As time
rolled on, Messrs. Davidson and Rich
mond noticed that the fish around
them were increasing in number. It
eeemed their feeding hour was Just
commencing, and some of the larger
ones waddled beyond, looking really
ferocious, while the mailed ones were
becoming so numerous that the ground
was slippery to walk upon. The cause
of It all was explained when they turn
ed round and saw the biggest sucker
In the river coming up midstream
with a caniteen strapped on his back,
and with a long stick In either fin,
heating the water on each side of him.

Green Peas for Feline Gourmets.
It is generally supposed that cats
are carnivorous aniinrals, yet from In
vestigations recently undertaken by a
French cat fancier it would appear
that vegetarians are to be found even
among the follne tribe.
Green peas cooked are among tie
vegetables most favored by these four
foqted gourmets, and asparagus is re
gar (led as an extraordinary daiinty,
even the white, hard stalks, usually
rejected by the most fastidious "hu
mans," being eagerly devoured. Hari
cot beans and sorrel are not much
thought of, nor spinach, but cooked
chicory and lettuce are more to their
taste. Carrots are generally appreci
ated, and are saiid to be beneficial to
cat health. They are also excessively
fond of maize, either green or even
the hard grains when cooked.
Fruit apparently does not appeal to
puss, apples, pears, peaches and apri
cots falling to rouse her appetite. On
the other hand, they show a decided
taste for melons and bananas, while
some were found to be absolutely
greedy over cocoanut in any form.
There is evidently likely to be an
opening In the future for a cat's vege
table man to compete with the peri
patetic cat's meat man of the present.

New Snake Bite Cure.
The prevention of death from snake
bite has been the object of a number
of Investigations recently undertaken,
and two methods of treatment have
, been developed with a fair amount
of success. One is the injection of a
specially prepared anti-venom, which
acts as an antitoxin, and which has
, proved useful In many cases.
I The other Is treating the afflicted
I part with permanganate of potash,
which has the advantage that this sub
stance can readily be kept at hand,
and does not require to be specially
prepared and stored like the anti
venom. The use of permanganate of
potash for snake bites was first sug
gested In India in 1869 by Sir Joseph
Favrer, and subsequent experiments
have demonstrated the effectiveness
of the treatmnt.

What is Wroug With College Sport.
Concluding "The College Athlete,"
in the July McClure'i, Henry Beach
NeedhHtn makes further revelations j
of the trickery and dishonesty which I
commercialism fosters in undergrad- j
uate sport Baseball players COme
iu for the same attention the foot
ball stars received in the first paper
and, because it is easier lor a ball
player to turn his skill into sur
reptitious source of income the con
ditions are worse with the ball nines
than with the elevens.
It is a startling story Mr. Need
ham has to tell of these young men
practising in their college days all
the wiles of the bribe-giver and the
bribe-taker.
"Few players could be convicted
in a court of law," he says, "on
the charge of receiving mo ley, or
its equivalent, for playing lall. It is
easier to convict a legislator of bribe
taking yes, the attorney for the
big corporation of bribe-giving
than to couvict a college gentleman
of evading the rules he is pledged
to live up to, andol taking money,"
This is a strong statement but
that it is within the facts Mr. Need
ham's narrative proves beyond any
doubt, for his story is one ot specific
instances and he never fails to name
the men, the time, and the place.
tor all the evils he shows up the
writer is far from pessimistic, "It
is true beyond question," he says,"
that conditions have been far worse
than they are today." He puts the
blame upon the spirit that makes a
business of winniug, of wiuning at
any cost.
"It the professionals, other than
the scientific trainers who watch
over the physical condition of the
athletes, were let go, if the amateur
coaches of college graduates
were sent about the serious busi
ness for which their collegiate edu
cation supposedly fits them, and ii
the development of the university
crews, elevens and nines were lett
to the undergraduates, primarily to
the various team captains, a large
part of the evils in college athletics
would disappear. The hop; ot col
lege amateurism is in the awaken
ing of the spirit of true sport fair

A Safe and Sane Fourth
Laws passed by the legislature of
iqoi and 1903 make a safe and sane
Fourth ot July a possibility in this
state. As dealers in fireworks may
not all be fully aware of the law itwi
will be expedient for them to exam
ine closely the following acts, and
also the proper thing for those who
contemplate an unsafe and insane
Fourth. One act, approved June
19, 1901, is as follows:
Any person or persons manu
facturing or selling fireworks con
taining dynamite, chlorate of potash
or any explosive except that con
taining ordinary gunpowder
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall be
sentenced to pay a fine of not less
than $50 or not more than $100, or
by imprisonment for a term of not
less than six months and not more
than one year, at the discretion of
the court.
Another act of assembly, approv
ed April 15, 1903, declares it to be
unlawful lor any person to dis
charge on the streets or alleys of
any city or borough in this common
wealth a flobert rifle, air guu, spring
gun, or any implement which impels
with lorce a metal pellet of any
kind." The penalty is $5 for the
first offense and $15 for the second
and the committing magistrate is
further authorized to impose for the
second offense an imprisonment of
from ten to thirty days in the county
jail.
School Directors' New Oath
Since June 1st, when the presi
dents of the diflerent township
school boards took office, they are
obliged to subscribe to an oath
different from that of former years.
They must take oath that the com
pulsory attendance law has been
com' lied with, that no teacher has
been employed at a salary of less
than $35 per mouth and that no
teacher has been employed for, or
had charge of, any of the schools
during the year who had not at the
time a valid certificate. The old
oath did not compel them to swear
that salaries less than $35 pet
month were paid. ' Another feat
ure that will meet the approbation
of Prohibitionists especially, is that
the subject of physioloy and hygiene
with special reference to the effects
of alcoholic drinks, stimulants and
narcotics upon the system, have
been regularly introduced and
taught in all the schools of the dis
trict. Thus far during 1905 automobil
es have i killed sixty-two persons
end injured 793. Persistent effort

Keep the nerves nourished, the heart
strong;, the head cool, the stnmnch vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test of time and has a wide repu
tation, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Tonics constating of large portions of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system ana are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep
tion of the alcohol, which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer to insult your intelligence by
telling; yon he has something better than
