SOMETHING for the LITTLE ONES

SIGHT OF CAT IN THE DARK ' »• When Feline Is In Search of Mouse Where the Light It Dim Pupils /“ of Eyes Open Wide. ~; ■ / .;' Some persons will tell you that cats can see in the dark. Now nothing can see in the dark, but some animals can see with a great deal less light than others, just as some cameras will take a picture with less light than You open or close the lens In a camera according to the amount of light, or else you speed up the shutter or slow it down. The human eye does this automatically, as the pupil or contracts according to the amount of light to which it is exposed; but cats can expand or contract the pupils of their eyes at pleasure, just as you open or shut the stops in the lens of your camera. When cats are not particularly anxious to see anything the pupils of their eyes become nothing but narrow slits, like this:

Pupils at Ease.

But when a cat 1b hunting a mouse in a room where there is very little light, or when the cat Is being hunted by some bad boys and wants to see every move the boys make, It opens the pupils of Its eyes until they are perfectly round.

Pupils Open Wide.

If you happen to be between the cat and the light you will see a peculiar gleam in this wide open pupil, which Is the reflection of the light at the back of the cat’s eye.

LANGUAGE USED IN SPORTING

Many of Terms--la Our Inheritance From Middle Agee—Phraseology Extended to Man. x Much of the language used In various sports Is our Inheritance from the middle ages. Different kinds of beasts when in companies were distinguished by their own particular epithet, which was supposed to be In some manner descriptive of the habits pf the anfinals. To use the wrong form of these words subjected the would-be sportsman to ridicule. Many of these terms have passed away, but some of them are still retained. This list from the middle ages is still good usage today. A “pride" of lions, a “lepe" of leopards, a “herd" of harts and of all sorts of deer, a “bevy” of roes, a "sloth" of hears, a “singular” of boars, a “sounder” of wild swine, a “route” of wolves, a “harras” of horses, a “ray" of colts, a “stud” of mares, a “pace" of asses, a “barren" of mules, a “team" of oxen, a “drove” of klne, a “flock" of sheep, a “trite” of goats, a “skulk" of foxes, a “down” of hares, a "nestv of rabbits, a "clowder” of cats, a “schrewdness” of apes and a “labor" of moles. Also, of animals when they retired to rest, a hart was said to be "harbored," a roebuck “bedded," a hare "formed,” a rabbit “set” Two greyhounds were called a “brace," but two harriers were called a “couple.” There was also a “mute" of hounds for a number, a "kennel” of raches, a "litter” of whelps and a "cowardice” of curs. This kind of descriptive phraseology was not confined to birds and beasts, but was extended to the human species and their various propensities, natures and callings.

Care of Persian Girls.

“Great care la taken that the Perelan girls shall conform to the recognized standard of beauty, which requires her to have a cypress waist, a full-moon face, gazelle eyes and eyebrows that meet,” says a traveler. “Her eyes, brows and hair must be black as night, her lips, cheeks and gums as red as blood, her skin and tetfth as white as almonds, and her back, limbs and fingers long. If these conditions are naturally absent they -azcu-suppHed.-aa far- as -possible, by art. Persian women are always painted, their eyes darkened with khol and their fingers stained with henna."

VOTE IN BALLOT BOX IS ONE THAT COOUNTS

REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE CER TAIN TO GO TO THE POLLB NEXT TUEBDAY. GIVE OLD-TIME MAJORITY Taft Can Ba Elected If Every One Who Wants to Bee Him Elected Will Go to the Poll* and Vote for Him. If everybody who really wants Taft elected goes to the polls and votes for him he will be elected. There is no doubt as to the truth ol this statement. The country wants Taft and a continuance of Republican policies under Republican administration. The only reason there has ever been any doubt of Taft’s election has been a sort of “feeling” that there was no show for him. Within the past two weeks tljat feeling has been rapidly giving way to a conviction that he could win and a wave of Republican enthusiasm has been sweeping over the country. This change In sentiment has been due chiefly to two causes: First, the collapse of the Third Term party campaign; and, second, the realization that in a business way the country has absolutely nothing to gain, while there would be grave danger that it would suffer a return to the hard times which characterized the last Democratic administration. In the first blush of enthusiasm for the new party a great many Republicans believed there was a chance for Mr. Roosevelt to win. But as the campaign has progressed that hope has been shown to be absolutely futile. It is a matter of common knowledge that Roosevelt - has gained practically no adherents from the Democratic party. This leaves him dependent upon the votes of the Republicans and in order to win it will be necessary for him to get .eight out of every ten votes In the country, basing the estimate upon the returns of 1908. Of course, everybody knows he cannot do that. r _ The only possible result of his candidacy, therefore, may be to endanger the election of Mr. Taft. And now with the certainty that either Mr. Taft or Mr. Wilson will be the next president every Republican is called upon to give his loyal support to the Republican ticket. In fact, everyone, regardless of party, who Is satisfied with present business conditions and doubts the wisdom of a change should join to secure the re-election of President Taft and a Republican congresß. This could not possibly result in detriment to the business of the country and it is equally certain that to return the Democratic party to power would bring about such disturbance. What is the sense In taking any chances? Republicans everywhere should realize the absolute necessity of active work from now on until the polls close. Republicans In strong Republican precincts should especially appreciate the importance of making their vote as large as possible. The fact that they have a large majority in their own town or county should not he permitted to make them careless or Indifferent about getting out their vote, for every vote counts in making up the state’s total. It should be remembered always that it is only the vote that goes into the ballot box that counts. Let every Republican bear in mind the fact that “if everybody who really wants Taft elected goes to the polls and votes for him he will be elected.”

TAFT WOULD BE ELECTED

beyond any question if Theodore Roosevelt had not divided the Republican party when he failed to receive the presidential nomination. The party was good enough for Roosevelt until Taft was nominated. Now he is trying to wreck it. His present position is a combination of selfish ambition and personal spite. Why should you desert the party which has done so much for the country and thus given you a share in prosperity and progress ?

FOR PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY.

, Your vote on Tuesday, November 5, for the Republican ticket is a vote for protection and prosperity. It Is also a vote for the preservation of constitutional government. A vote for the Democratic ticket is a vote for free trade, with legislation that will place farm products on the free list and will adversely affect practically every industry In the United States. A vote for' the ThM Term ticket is worse than a wasted vote. Roosevelt cannot possibly ba elected and a rotn.. for him aids In the election of the Democratic candidate. f

REGISTRATION LAW A FARCE

Democratic Measure Without' Safeguards of Any Kind —Advantage to Corrupt Machine. In enacting a registration of voters law the Democrats attained the height of the ridiculous and made themselves obnoxious to the taxpayers all over the state. The registration law is without safeguards of any kimLio prevent fraudulent registration. Already the Democrats in Vigo and some other counties have been exposed in a systematic game of registering fraudulent names to be used by hired repeaters “at the November election. In the first place, the honest public is given no protectien under the law against the fraudulent or hired repeater who appears to register. There is no poll book holder, and no challenger under the law to see that only legitimate registration is permitted. The man who appears at the polls next November with a certificate of registration, has a prima facie case, and is awarded a distinct advantage over the honest challenger who may attempt to purge the precinct of fraud. In short, the law, as it is made, gives the corrupt machine an advantage over the honest electorate at the polls. The item of expense, registration boards, appointed by precincts being paid under the Democratic law $4 a day, whereas election board members get but $2 ar day for harder work, is one of the things for which the Democratic bosses who dictated the law, will have to answer| It is known that the statute was prepared by a Democrat who now sits on the supreme bench; that it was the work of the Taggart household; that it was not properly studied or intelligently passed upon by Governor Marshall, who turned It over unread to a Taggart committee which rushed it through without change. The law needs many amendments to make it fit for use for attaining honest ends. It is utterly unjust in the fact that it requires the voter to be present and register in person regardless of the distance he may be away from home. Sickness is not accepted as an excuse. The commercial traveler can not send In a certificate by mail. The government employe must make two trips home from Washington if his vote is to be reorded. In connection with the travesty which is called a corrupt practices act, the Democratic registration law is a huge farce. **- Under the democratic corrupt practices act the candidate for office can not be assessed, but he may contribute to campaign funds. He may hire “political agents,” and there Is no limit on the number. This means, in the that the candidate may uimer the law use boodle among “political agents” by the scores, so long as he calls the floaters “political agents.” Under this law political clubs may Incorporate, and raise money and call the fund “membership dues.” This money may be disbursed by the “treasurer” of this incorporated club. He, as “treasurer,” hae power to pay members of the “club” for doing political work. The members of the club may be “floaters,” and the “treasurer” under the law, may give them $2 each election day, and give each floater, with his $2 bill, the title of “political agent.” This preposterous statute already has occasioned the incorporation of scores of Democratic political clubs, largely among the foreign element in Lake, St. Joseph, and other thickly populated counties. The object of the law thus is laid bare in advance.

WHAT COMPARISONS SHOW.

Rockport Farmer Recalls Conditions in Lean Democratic Years. Many Indiana farmers with long memories are reviving facts and figures as a basis of comparison of their personal financial condition in the last Democratic administration and during the time of President Taft, and these comparisons invariably lead the farmer to “let well enough alone” and to vote for Taft. One of these farmers lives at Rockport, and the Journal says of him: J. M. Killian, of this city, has a record of prices of labor and farm products made during the last Democratic administration that makes very interesting reading at this time. Jack, as he is familiarly called, waa farming in Clay township at that time and kept a record of the wages paid for labor and prices received for products sold from the farm. One of the prominent teachers of this county now worked for Mr. Killian at that time for 50 cents a day and hoarded himself except for dinner. Another citizen of this county who has been successfully operating a threshing machine for a number of years worked for Mr. Killian during that distressing period for $9 a month. And with this cheap labor it was Impossible then to make on the farm because the laborlife people In the cities were out of employment and had no money with which to buy the farmer’s products, and, consequently, there was little demand for them at any price. For instance, Mr. Killian’s record shows that he sold eggs at six cents a dozen and everything else at correspondingly low prices. Mr. Killian was for Roosevelt before he bolted, but he is now for Taft. He is a Republican and believes in Republican .principle*. He.Jtnawa by. experience that they are best for the oountry and that the way to continue prosperity Is to vote the Republican ticket

PORCUPINE DESTROYS TREES.

Pernicious Activity of the Animals. Reports made to the local forest bureau from Bishop, Inyo county, indicate that the porcupine is seriously damaging the lodgepole pine forests of the eastern slope of the Sit.ras. Practically the entire area of the Inyo national forest has been affected to some extent. In some localities the damaged trees aggregate as high as twenty-five per cent, of the total stand. While these areas are not large, forest service authorities declare that Jt is evident if something is not done to curb them much of the timber in the Inyo reserve will be destroyed. The porcupine feeds to a large extent during the winter months upon the- Inner hark oCtheplne.aud in order to obtain food he girdles the trees, eating the bark and eventually destroying the trees. As the animal visits several trees in a single night to satisfy his hunger the damage done by one animal is considerable.

Not Wholly Careless.

Thomas Gbett was a meek but less clerk, who, through no greater fault than carelessness, was continually blundering in his work. His most usual mistake was to misdirect letters, either by substituting a wrong street number, or by writing, say “Cal.” for “Col.” One day his employer laid on his desk a letter which had been over a month in the mails without reaching its destination —and all because of Thomas’s error. “Now, this has got to stop,” said his employer. “Such delays waste time and money. If you had used an envelope which hadn’t had our address in the corner, we might never have known where this letter went to.” “That’s true,” assented the humble clerk. “But I am always careful to use that kind of envelope just for that reason. Being a little slow of comprehension, he did not understand why his patient employer bit his lip and turned away smiling.

A Germ Immune.

—“Well,” said the old gentlemanr walking through the International Tuberculosis exhibit, “when I see all this I wonder how I have ever lived to be 84 years old, and I never took a mite of care of myself, either. You see, I was born in the days before they discovered germs. I have slept with the snow blowing in on my bed, cut through the ice to wash my face and hands, eaten all kinds of rich, hearty foods, got my feet wet and let them get dry again or stay wet, put my flannels on and took them off when 1 pleased—am 84 years old and never had a serious illness. I am afra.d now, however, that I will never reach 90 years, as my father and mother did. Looks like a man don’t have a fair show with so many germs ready to floor him."

Simple Rules for Self-Protection.

The warning and suggestions have reference not only to grip but to tonsilltis, bronchitis, colds and pneumonia. He asks nothing impossible or difficult of the average person. He expects no sacrifice, no giving up of cherished habits. As he well says, the price of immunity or of health is not high, in fact, a little thought and a little firmness is all that he asks, and the “price” spells more enjpyment and fuller life in the long run. Moderation In eating and drinking, a reasonable amount of exercise, walking in the open air, ventilation of houses and offices, avoidance of overheated places and excessively heavy clothing—these are the very simple and feasible forms of “insurance” which he prescribes. To know them should be to adopt t|bem.— Chicago Record-Herald^.

It Might Be Either.

A bony, lank village youth of artistic bent, who was sniffed at by his fellow natives, finally disappeared from his usual haunts. He was missed chiefly because his peculiar personal appearance was bound to attract attention wherever it was exhibited. No one seemed to know whither the lad had gone, till the storekeeper, returning from a visit to a near-by city, announced that he had discovered his whereabouts. “I found him!” he proclaimed. “He was in the art museum.” “As a curio,” inquired one, “or as an object of art?”

And So Got Riches.

although a writer in the Atchison Globe does not so describe him—was asked at a little evening gathering to tell what book had helped him most. “My wife’s cook-book.” he replied, after some thought. All the ladies present bridled, and one asked him in what way bis wife’s cook-book had helped him—would he not tell them in a few words? He would. “About as soon as I married,” he said, “1 made up my mind I’d rather work than eat.”
