Dr. Martin Potter, says tho New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times-Star. Ho runs an animal pawn
shop. If you have a Hon that you
don't need as badly as you need th,o
money, or want to soak a trained bear
for a fow weeks, or put up an ele

Business," said Dr. Potter. "I started
out to furnish trained animals to
Bhowfl. I've rented everything to show,
men from a troup of thoroughbred
horses to a red eyed Nutnldtan lion.
By and by I found that I had to lend
money now and then to my patrons
and take their stock In pledge It
was a necessity of the business, but
now I like It."

We think that it is wuikc than use
less to attempt to euro constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics may
do much harm. They may cause n re

and mako constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may bo caused by weakness of the

WHAT HORSE-POWER MEANS
Example of Great Liner's Turbine En-
glnea Given to Explain the Com
tnon Phrase.
In connection with steamship pro
pulsion the average man Is apt to
speak very glibly of bo many hundred
or thousand horse-power. Dut It is
extremely doubtful If one person In a
hundred really has a duo appreciation
of what the phrase actually means.
On this point some ver) Interesting
remarks woro made by John Heck,
the Glasgow engineer surveyor.
He said that, calculating the
strength of twelvo men to bo equal
to ono horse-power, It would require
840,000 men to produce as much en
ergy as tho 70,000 horse-power de
veloped by tho turblno machinery of
tho express Cunardcr Lusltanla. Then
If the men were to work on tho eight
hour day system thoso figures would
glvo a total of 2,520,000, that being
the number of men whose strength
would bo necessary to drive tho vessel
across tho Atlantic ocean. So It would
tako all the men in Scotland to supply
tho energy produced all tho day round
by tho wonderful turbine machinery ol

These Gentremanly Arabs.
The Arab vices nnd virtues (for they
have both) are drawn from tho desert.
They aro tho handsomest men In the
world, these Arabs; but they aro not
the cleanest. In reverent demeanor
and tactful courtesy they surpass tho
most cultured gentlemen of Europe;
but they aro notorious thieves.
Their hospitality is proverbial. For
three days the Arab host will protect
one who has eaten bread and salt in
ills tent, even to dying In defense of
his guest. When tho timo limit of the
salt brotherhood has expired the host
will feel quite free to rob the for
mer guest on his own account. Ordi
narily the Arab lives on Dread and
milk, or bread and cheese. If a guest
arrives he will Insist upon slaughter
ing tho choicest animal In his flock.
If there is no food at all, as fre
quently happens, tho Arab starves for
awhile. From "The Real Palestine of
Today," by Lewis Gaston Loary.
8tyle in Mourning.
"Spectacular mourning Is not so
popular as It was some years ago,"
said the manager of a city department
store in answer to an inquiry on that
subject. "There Is still a large busi
ness done In all kinds of mourning
goods, but either tho somber period
has grown shorter or many bereaved
persons prefer not to bo conspicuous
because of'tbelr sorrows, for tho sale
of mourning goods has fallen off. In
tho stationery department there seems
to be no change In fact, tho demand
for black bordered cards and writing
paper has increased." To lllustrato
the quality of some "show mourning"
be said: "At a stationery establish
ment a short time ago a woman In
deepest black asked to see samples
of dinner dance cards. She selected
one and ordered ono hundred to bo
done on black bordered cards, com
promising with her conscience by
suggesting that the border be not too
heavy."
