ROOSTER WHIPS A
47 POUND BULLDOG.
LOWERING COST OF LIVING
Blaok Minorca Wins In a Fast and Fu
rious Battle,
Spike, a forty-seven iwund English
bulldog, the property of MIsa Edith
Decker, prima donna, living nt Ocean
side, N. Y was vanquished recently
by n Mlnorcn rooster named Schmuko.
Spike has been lording it over all of
the roostore and tliclr cmnpnnlous of
tho opposite wjx over since he wits ndd
ed to Miss Decker's family of pets sev
eral years ago.
Schmuko met anil defeated several of
tho other gentlemen of tho haniynrd,
and when ho was finally accepted as
tho king of the hennery ho started
forth to inspect otlicr fields with tho
ladles of his court following. All went
well until the cortege invaded tho vege
table" garden, which had been under tho
guardianship of Spike, who had been
taught to shoo off tho fowl when they
Invaded that precinct. The bulldog
made his usual rush for the birds, and
all scattered except Schmuko, who flew
at the dog with spur and beak. Splko
fell back with n yelp and then rushel
to chew up his opponent. At each rush
Schmuko lenped high and jabbed Splko
In the ears with his spurs.
The combat lasted nltnost fifteen
minutes, despite the combined efforts
of Miss Decker and Raymond Peck to
put an end to the fray, nnd was only
finished finally when Schmuko ruon
aged to drive a spur through the pulpy
noso of tho bulldog, who shook himself
loose with n howl of defeat and raced
for the house kl-yi-lug, leaving tho
rooster minus n few mouthfuls of
feathers, but triumphant on tho field
of battle.
After Spike had been beaten Miss
Decker and the otlicr members of tho
household liad to spend the greater por
tion of Uie nftcrnoon standing guard
over tho vegetable patch, which the
fowls seemed to regard as ono of their
spoils aftar the old master had been
put to flight.
BULL MOOSE EASY TO RIDE.
W. S. Carpenter Says So, Proving It by
Photographs.
Riding a wild bull moose is a sport
just discovered by Warwick Stevens
Carpenter, n magazine writer, who has
Just returned to the United States aft
er "roughing It" for several months In
the Canadian woods, nnd he thinks
the new sport is particularly appro
priate just now. Mr. Carpenter has
several photographs showing how a
wild moose can be ridden with little
or no danger by a person who knows
how to swim.
"With a guide," said Mr. Carpenter,
"I was crossing Sturgeon lake, which
is on the Minnesota border line. A
big bull moose was swimming ahead
of us, nnd the guide paddled the ca
noo alongside the animal. Suddenly
he handed me the paddlo, nnd I was
surprised to see him step out of tho
canoe on to tho moose's back. Deftly
grabbing the antlers, he straddled tho
animal's back and before I knew it
was fast pulling away from tho canoe.
"The moose ut first merely swam
faster; then it tried to shake off its
rider by diving, but was unsuccessful.
Finally the guldo swam back to the
canoe, and tho mooso reached tho
shore and disappeared in the woods."
GEOGRAPHY TO END WARS.
Commissioner Claxton Urges It Be
Thoroughly Taught.
If geography were properly taught
there would never bo another war bo
tween nations, standing armies could
bo done away with and tho day of
worldwido peaco would be nt hand.
This is tho opinion of P. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of educa
tion. Tho real purpose of teaching geog
raphy,, according to Dr. Claxton, is to
do away with provincialism and tho
feeling of superiority that goes with
lgnoranco and to Inform members of
ono race nnd nation concerning tho
characteristics of others, so that they
may recognize their Interdependence.
"The rensons formerly given, that
geography trains tho memory and
makes us familiar with places, tlius
rendering traveling easy, Is nonsense,"
said Dr. Claxton. "There is no reason
for teaching anything simply to train
tho faculty of memory. Although I
used to get 100 per cent In geography
as n schoolboy, I havo to inquire my
way of the station ngent whenever I
take n train."
, Congressmen Try a Scheme- to
Jtedtico Prlco of Food Stulvs
Plnco Illaiuo on Grain Ex
changes. Toledo, Ohio, Sept 110. (Spec
ial.) Tho past year has been a .most
strenuous ono for tho grain dealers
of tho United Stntes.
Novor in tho history of tho busi
ness has thero been so ninny hosttlo
bills fired nt them from tho legisla
tive batteries nt Washington.
From tho opening of tho Inst ses
sion until its cIobo August 2G last,
Just G9 hills affecting tho grain
t ratio In all Its branches wero In
troduced in congress.
All this nctivity at Washington
kept tho grain men on tho Jump, Of
tho 69 hills all were not, of course,
Inimical to tho grain trade. Some
of them, If passed, would havo been
of great value to both consumer and
grain dealer nllke.
Thcro wero others, however, that
tho grain men stubbornly fought.
Among these wero tho autl-optlon
bills, of which thero wero thirty-six.
Thirty-two of theso bills wero in
troduced in tho houso and four in
tho senate. What was tho reason
for this sudden avalanche or anti
futuro trading bills?
Tho high cost of living?
Looking For n Itemcdy.
When tho prices of the necessities
of life rlso lawmakers begin to look
around for tho cause and to suggest
1 .1 remedy. Tho congressmen had
figured that tho speculators on the
grain exchange were rcspousiblo In
some measure for tho high price of
grain. They believed that through
manipulation the big market oper
ators had created "corners" and
boosted tho prices beyond tho true
value of tho cereals.
They decided to put tho "gamb
lers" out of business and then tho
price of grain would como down.
The thirty-two members of tho
Houso pooled their issues and went
in solid phalanx behind ono of the
bills.
To meet this onslaught tho Grain
Dealers National Association, an or
ganization composed of practically
all tho handlers of grain in the
United States, from the small coun
try shipper to tho big terminal mar
ket receiver, started a "campaign of
education" among tho members of
congress.
Thoy went into tho history of tho
grain trade, and followed its grad
ual evolution from tho time that
Joseph stored tho grain in Egypt,
down to tho present. They under
took to prove the difforenco between
legitimate speculation and gambling;
they pointed out tho economic func
tion of speculation; they showed
there would bo no price stability
without tho speculator; that in the
fall when all tho farmers dumped
their grain on the market at ono
time prices would he demoralized
unless the speculators stepped in nnd
carried tho load, and that in the
spring tho prices would bo boosted
out of sight if tho speculators and
merchants had not bought millions
of business in the fall and stored
them away to meet tho steady con
sumptive demand.
Tho Association frankly confessed
that there wero still some evils con
nected with tho speculative market,
but that tho grain men themselves
were gradually eliminating the
gambling features by passing anti
corner rules on all tho exchanges.
Bill Did Not Pass House.
Tho anti-option bill was not pas
sed, but Its advocates will more than
likely bo on the ground ready for
another fight at tho next session.
In tho meantime, tho grain men
aro doing everything in their power
to prove to the country that their
anti-corner rules really havo teeth,
and that by theso rules, aided by
public sentiment, it Is impossible
for another Hutchinson, or Leiter,
or Patten, to appear upon tho hor
izon. They contend that tho law of sup
ply and demand is more immutable
In tho grain trade today than in any
other industry in tho country, and
they assort that this contention will
bo borno out this year because of
tho 5,000,000, 000-bushel crop of
grain that will bo raised In tho
United States. This record-breaking
crop, they afllrm, will lower prices
and automatically reduco tho cost
of living.
At tho annual meeting of the Grain
Dealors National Association, which
Is to bo held at Norfolk, Va., October
1, 2 and 3 next, tho growth of pub
lic sentiment against tho exchanges,
as rollected in tho 3G anti-futuro
trading bills, will ho thoroughly dis
cussed and measures adopted to
make tho public moro Intlmatoly ac
quainted with tho functions of logl
timato speculation.
MONKEY A GOOD LAUNDRESS.
Srfilor Has Also Taught Pet to Polish
Ship's Brass.
On board tho British steamship
Loulslnnn, a vessel of tho tramp vari
ety, which arrived at Golveston, Tex.,
recently, was a young African monkey
which ono of tho sailors had pur
chased while In ono of tho African
Mediterranean ports nnd which ho has
taught to wash his clothes and also to
brighten tip the ship's brnsswork.
The monkey takes to Its task with
nil tho avidity of a high school girl
eating ico cream, the only drawback
being tho lack of Judgment on tho part
of tho unlmul ns to when tho Job is
finished. Miss Monk will continue
washing the pleco hi hand until It is
takon nwny or nnothur garment sub
stituted for tlic ono in hand.
Chicago Population Gains.
Tho population of Chicago is 2,320,
100, according to estimates based upon
tho now city directory Issued recently.
J This Is n gain In population of 141,117
mucu uio leuerai census was xaiten
two years ago.
THE
STATE
PENNSYLVANIA
COLLEGE.
Advaco registration for tho college
semester which opens September 18
Is unusually heavy. At this time
over COO students havo been ad
mitted to tho Freshmen class aud
100 to tho Two-Year Course In Ag
riculture Tho capacity of tho col
logo will bo taxed, notwithstanding
tho erection of an additional elec
trical laboratory and a horticultural
building. Ono-half tho largo college
dining hall has been mado into reci
tation rooms; thirty additional
houses for dormitory and boarding
purposes havo been erected in tho
vlllago. An nnnex to tho woman's
dormitory has been opened bocauso
of tho largo registration In Homo
Economics. A farm of 4 CO acres
has been recently acquired, making
tho total land area about 1000 acres
and furnishing now facilities for ex
periments In Animal Husbandry and
in Agronomy.
Tho reported changes in tho fac
ulty, said to bo duo to insufllclont
legislative support, havo been gross
ly exaggerated. Not to exceed eight
important resignations out of a staff
of nearly 200 havo boon rocolved
during the year. Theso havo all
been filled excopt two and theso aro
occupied by experienced substitutes
ponding permanont selection. It is
triio that tho appropriations mado
by tho Legislature havo not Increas
ed proportionately with tho growth
in tho number of students or de
velopment of tho experimental work;
but the eums havo sufficed to enable
tho collego to benefit tho peoplo of
tho stnto In countless wnys. No ses
sion of tho Legislature for tho past
25 years has fallod to mako an ap
propriation for tho support of tho
collego and it is confidently believed
that tho coming session will adopt
n policy which will satisfy evory
friend nnd patron of tho Institution.
A number of now positions havo
been created, among them a Dean of
tho General Faculty, to which Dr.
Arthur Holmes, of tho Unlvorsity of
Pennsylvania, has been cnlled; a
Collego Chaplain and Professor of
Plbllc Literature, filled by tho Hov.
Robert Hush Reed, of Princeton;
nnd a Director of Music, to which
Professor C. C. Robinson, of Okla
homa University, hns been elected.
WARSHIP NO. 38 TO
BE WORLD'S BIGGEST.
The New Battleship Will Be the Most
Formidable Ever Undertaken.
Tcutatlvo plans for tho construction
of battleship No. 38, the Pennsylvania,
authorized by congress recently, call
for a vossel that Is calculated to prove
the world's sensation In the matter of a
fighting machine. Naval authorities
have determined that this shall be not
only the biggest nnd most formidablo
war vessel so far ever undertaken, but
tho speediest of all battleships.
Tho fact that she is to carry twelve
fourteen-lnch guns nnd n water lino
armor protection of sixteen inches
thickness has made it necessary to de
sign a ship exceptionally long In order
thnt her beam shall not bo too wide
for safo passage through tho Panama
canal.
Six years ago, when tho Delaware,
tho first of tho American Improved
Dreadnoughts, was laid down, It be
came necessary to widen tho cannl from
100 to 110 feet. In order to carry ton
twelve-Inch guns tho Delaware nnd
Utah were made 510 feet long, with an
eighty-five foot beam and n displace
ment of 20,000 tons.
Tho Arkansas and Wyoming were
increased to 55-1 feet in length, 03 feet
beam nnd 20,000 tons; the New York
and Texas wero Increased to 505 feet
long, 05 feet beam and 27,000 tons; the
Oklahoma and Nevadn, authorized last
year, wero still further Increased to
575 feet long nnd 27,500 tons displace
ment, but holding tho beam at 05 feet.
Realizing the risk of taking n $15,
000,000 ship of wider beam through
tho canal, Secretary Meyer has decid
ed to gain space, buoynncy and speed
in length rather than In width. Ac
cordingly tho Pennsylvania will havo
a ninety-five foot beam, but a length
of C30 feet, 55 feet longer than the
Oklahoma. Tho speed will be Increased
from the Oklahoma's 20.50 knots to 23
or 24 knots if possible. A displacement
of Ql.OQfl; tons will be necessary.
There Are
Two Things
which the up-to-date business man
MUST HAVE In tho handling of his
financial affairs.
1. Ho must havo tho assurance
that his funds aro
than they could possibly bo in his
own bauds, and thnt his Interests
are being looked after moro careful
ly than It is posslblo that they could
bo oven under his own management.
2. In every detail ho must have
tho
posslblo in order to minimlzo tho
friction of his dally routlno of business.
