Last Tuesday afternoon complaint
was made to Constable Hitchcock
that one of the Dago outfit, a member
of the gang working for the railroad,
was up inthe grove north of town shoot
ing robbins,meadow larksand squirrels.
Upon his arrival at the same he found
the Dago on the run with farmer A.
G. West in full pursuit—it was a pret
ty race, but Mr. West’s former re
putation as a foot racer with the
assistance cf the officer finally landed
the culprit who inthe run had skil
fully made away with any of the game
lie may have secured, thus destroying
the evidence against'him. After listen
ing to an oration delivered in Mr.
West’s forcible style, the Dago swore
by his macaronia and dog soup that
he would shoot no more if they would
let him go. Under the circumstances
this was all that could be done and the
rest of the outfit are probably warned
that it is not safe to be found with a
gun in that section of the country.—

SCHURMAN OF CORNELL
Learned University President and Let
ter He Could Not Read.
President Jacob Gould Schurman of
Cornell university was a warm friend
of the late Governor Frank W. Hig
gins of New York and was Invited to
deliver the principal oration on the
character of the departed magistrate
at the memorial services recently held
In the state capital at Albany. In the
course of his remarks he took occasion
to compare the problems of today In
our own nation with those which con
cerned the Homan republic In the
times of Tiberius Gracchus and warned
statesmen of the present era In the
American republic against overstep
ping constitutional limitations as Grac
chus did, however righteous the cause
In which they may be engaged. Presi
dent Schurman’s language was Inter
preted by some as referring to Presi
dent Itoosevelt, and as be and the

lie once received a letter written In
no languuge ,with which he was fa
miliar.
“Send It to Professor Schmlt for
translation,” he said to his secretary.
“I believe it Is Persian.”
Schmlt worked over it for hours be
fore he located the characters. They
were Arabic beyond a doubt, but he
was not quite sure whether of the
thirtieth century B. C. or the third A. D.
"I will send it to Oxford for investi
gation,” he reported.
The office stenographer, a woman,
was curious. “Let me see the funny
thing,” she begged. It was handed to
her, and a moment later she began to
laugh. “It’s in shorthand,” she cried,
“Perkins’ system!” She translated the
last line thus:
“Excuse my writing to you In this
abbreviated manner, but I’ve got to
catch a train.” President Schurman
hopes that he caught the train, but
Professor Schmit will never forgive
the hasty correspondent.
When a Trout Is Hungry.
A curious incident, showing that trout
will not be easily frightened from a
hook when they are hungry, Is told by
a Maine sportsman. lie felt a good
bite, but before he could haul In the
fish It broke ldbse and got away. He
readjusted his bait and made another
cast. In a minute the hook was again
taken, and ho pulled In a two pound
trout. It was hooked In the side of the
mouth, while upon the other side a
piece more than an Inch long had been
torn from the Jaw, and the wound was
still bleeding. This showed conclusive
ly It was the same fish that had Just
taken the hook and had got away.
The singular part was that a fish so
badly wounded should blta & second
time.
Relief From Rheumatic Pains.
“I suffered with rheumatism for
over two years,” says Mr. Roiland
Curry, a patrolman, of Ivey West, Fla.
“Sometimes it settled in my knees and
lamed me so I could haraly walk, at
other times it would be in mp feet and
hands so I was incapaciated for duty.
One night when I was in severe pain
and lame from it my wife went to the
drug store and came back with a bottle
of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I was
rubbed with it and found the pain had
nearly gone during the night. I kept
on using it for a little more than two
weekes and found that it drove the
rheumatism away. • I have not had
any trauble from that disease for over
three months. For sale by Gilligan &

Sir Robert is a graduate of Trinity

man In ordinary street clothes, but at

Queen’s Rifle Volunteer brigade (th«

Sir William Henry Preece, K. C. B.,
Is another “F. It. S„” and his reputa

won along scientific
lines. Ho was one
of tho pioneers In
the investigation of
wireless telegraphy.
He was conducting
experiments In tel

ten to a dozen years
ago. He was con

ford from the general postofflee through
a wire burled under Gray’s Inn road
The telephone wire ran along the
house tops eighty feet away from the
telegraph wire, and there was no con
nectlon between the two. Sir Willlair
began thinking about the matter, and
his Investigations led to the ascertain

by Marconi and other experimenters

If you are suffering from
impure blood, thin blood, de

with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the
Sarsaparilla you have known
all your life. Your doctor
knows it,too. Askhimaboutit.
You must look well after the condition of
your liver and bowels. Unless there Is daily
action of the bowels, poisonous products are
absorbed, causing headache, biliousness, nau
sea, dyspepsia, and thus preventing the Sar
saparilla from doing its best work. Ayer’s
Pills are liver pills. Act gently, all vegetable.
The dose is only one pill at bedtime.
