Difficult Breathing Short breath fluttering, palpitation, sinking spells are symptoms of a weak heart, struggling to do its work. It must keep the blood in circulation to _ carry nourishment to make flesh, bone and muscle, and remove the wornout particles. iWhen it cannot do this, it must have help. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure gives strength to the heart nerves and muscles, and increases the heart action. J “I tun glad to say that I am so much improved in health. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure cured me when several doctors failed. I think no other medicine could do for me what Heart Cure has done. My case was bad; bad as it could be at times. I had difficulty in getting my breath, my heart beat so fast at times that I thought it impossible to live without relief: the pain was very severe in my left side, and my nerves was all unstrung. I had almost artven up all hope of being cured, and I am sure I would not, if I had not taken the Heart Cure. I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Miles’ remedies to .all who suffer with heart disease.” MRS. MARY C. HAHLBR, Sullivan. Mo. Or.

Gently though safely, it surely equalises the blood circaIf you have a headache, it's blood pressure. If it’s painful periods with women, same cause. If you are sleepless, restless, nervous, ft’s blood congestion—blood pressure.

The SPORTING WORLD

New Pugilistic Star. The latest pugilistic surprise was the defeat of Joe Thomas, the California welterweight champion, by Young Ketchell, who claims Butte, Mont, as his home. Ketchell was little heard of before he met Thomas the first time at Marysville, Cal., where they fought a twenty round draw on July 4 last In that bout Ketchell made such a great showing that another match was

YOUNG KETCHELL, NEW WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION.

Immediately arranged, which proved to be the undoing of Thomas, who was considered one of the best men of his weight in the country. Ketchell has been fighting only two years and a half, and. while he* has much to learn about the fine points of the game, he has a wallop and is full of courage and grit. He has met the best men In and around Montana. Such men as Jerry McCarthy, Warren Zubrick, Mose Lafontlse and “Big Jack” Sullivan have bowed to him. An Amphibious Automobile. An Ingenious Frenchman has invented and constructed an amphibious automobile. The machine goes just as well In the water as It does on land. The amphibious automobile Is the Invention of Jules Ravailller, an expert motor car builder In Paris. It has taken him nine years to complete his invention, not only to his own satisfaction, but to that of the French war department, which Is intensely interested in the new car. The Initial tests of the vehicle were recently held at Paris on the roads and in the Seine. On land the machine attained a speed of fifty-five miles an hour, and then, .without the slightest preparation or alteration, it ran Into the water and headed up the Seine at eighteen knots an hour. “M. Ravailller’s new car Is just as safe in the water as it is on land,” said an authority. “It has solved for many of us the problem of owning a yacht and an automobile at the same time,” he continued, "and it will surely take the place of the present type of motor car, which Is good for dry land only. With this new amphibious type of car we may safely cross any bay or river without relying on bridges or ferries. We may vary the monotony of long rides over country roads by spins up and down the lakes and rivers. “Apart from Its attractiveness as a pleasure vehicle, it will have an almost incalculable value as a war machine. The French government has already recognized that and Is prepar-1 Ing to experiment with several types of the amphibious motor car adapted to military needs.” As to an Oval Billiard Table. Will the shape of the present billiard table be altered as the outcome of the farcical results which have followed the Invention and perfection of the now famous “anchor” stroke? This is a question which is being seriously discussed. The present tablet It is contended, lends Itself to freak billiards and no sooner Is one stroke barred than some player Invents another which serves the same purpose, reducing the game to an automatic exhibition of skill on the part of the player who succeeds in getting Agoing” first A more drastic reform than a mere “tinkering” with the rules is evidently needed, and a suggestion has been made and has already found many supporters that the present two square table should be changed for an elliptical—oval—table. Many advantages are claimed for the idea. Here are some of them: (a) A more advanced field for the exposition of the possibilities of modern skill. (b) The introduction of more scientific play. (c) A fresh attraction to the spectator who has tired of the time worn strokes. (d) The Impossibility of such strokes as the "anchor” and “spot.” (e) Although the same length and width, the table can be placed in a much smaller space.

Notasulga a Great Filly. Notasulga Is believed to be one of the best fillies shown this year in the east. A leading trainer remarked to the writer a few days ago: “There is no getting away from the fact that Notasulga is the cleverest filly seen as yet She can carry any kind of weight and beat such a mare as Frizette.” Notasulga is owned by two young Louisiana horsemen who have never before raced on the eastern tracks. They are Jules Broulatour and Alfred Hamel.

Pitcher Jake Thlelman proved a splendid investment for Cleveland, as his purchase from the Indianapolis club cost but SI,OOO, and bls record justified a much larger sum. Contrast it, for instance, with Berger, who cost the clnb over $5,000 andhas been of ■b use to data. >

A Smuggling Episode.

By Florence Newhouse Fox.

Copyrighted, 1807, by C. H. Sutcliffe.

As Dorotfiy stepped from the train she cast a furtive look behind her and made a dash for a carriage. She was almost certain the tall man with a Vandyke beard had followed her all the way from Easton and still had bls eye upon her. She crouched back In a corner of the vehicle with heart throbbing madly and nerves at a high tension. “Drive fast to the Glen hotel,” she ordered the cabman. The driver whipped up his horses and In ten minutes drew up before the picturesque hotel in the woods of Glen Echo. As Dorothy sprang to the ground a girl of twenty came around the corner of the veranda. “Dot Graham!” she cried to the newcomer. “Can I believe my eyes? lam

“PARDON ME, IS THIS MISS PRICE?” HE ASKED COURTEOUSLY.

so glad to see you. We are as dull as rusty hoes up here since the season closed.” “Come in! Oh, come in quickly I” Dot exclaimed, pulling her friend into the bouse hurriedly. “Fan, I have been followed.” “Followed?” “All the way from Easton.” “Well,” laughed Fan, “you must blame your own charming face.” “No, no; it Is not a vulgar flirtation. He is a detective.” “Nonsense. Why should a detective follow you? Why, Dot, dear, you are trembling like a leaf. Come up to my room and tell me all about it.” “It all comes from buying this coat in Canada.” “Your new sealskin? Um, isn’t it a beauty?” “I hate it” Dot flung the offending article upon the sofa. “Goodness only knows what complications it has occasioned. I wore it on the train, knowing nothing of the duty imposed on such articles until brother George met me at the station in Easton. Even then when he told me the danger I incurred of being arrested for smuggling I thought it one of his pranks. You know George is never so happy as when be is teasing me. But when he insisted upon my coming up here to you until all danger was past I became really frightened and with cause, as you will admit,” continued Dot breathlessly, “for I noticed a man not five minutes later standing near where I was waiting for the train who seemed tq be watching me. Sure enough, be boarded the same train and alighted at Glen Echo station almost upon my heels. Fan, will you harbor a fugitive from justice?” Dorothy’s woeful face was too much for vivacious Fan Price. She bubbled over with laughter. “You are alarming yourself unnecessarily,” she assured her friend. “If the man had been a detective be would have arrested you then and there.” "Detectives are very shrewd people,** pronounced Dorothy distrustfully. “I am glad you came to me. We remain here until the first of the month. Father is keeping the hotel open to accommodate a party of congressmen who are up for a two weeks’ hunt, and mother refuses to leave him,** Fan explained. > “What are your congressmen hunting for?” Dot asked. “Bears,” said Fan. “I thought,” and there was a mischievous twinkle in Dorothy’s eyes, “that they might be hunting for dears?” “In which event,” twinkled Fan, “you would be obliged to flee from danger once more.” Both girls laughed with the gladneM of youth, and for the time Dot forgot her anxiety. They ran np to the cedar

room, where Mrs. Price with motherly forethought was laying away summer clothing in large paper bags scented with lavender. They strolled out under the leafless trees in the cold November twilight, exchanging confidences,, and came in shivering, late to dinner. The congressmen were all there, gathered around one large table which had been set apart for them. As Dorothy passed on to the family board she became conscious of an Intent gaze fixed upon her; an irresistible something drew her eyes toward the men—toward one, at least, and their eyes met. The color left her face, her eyes grew sick with fear—the fear of arrest. To be dragged like a common thief to prison to answer the charge of smuggling! The thought was unbearable. She blamed the law that made it a crime to wear one’s own garments into one’s own country. Slipping Into her seat she leaned toward Fan with a shuddering whisper: “He Is here! The one with short, pointed beard. Don’t look—and don't tell your father or mother.” Fan glared In the direction of the congressmen, singled out the Vandyke, which at that moment was oblivious of her critical scrutiny In an Interested discussion of venison, and whispered back: “He does not look ferocious enough to bite.” But Dorothy could not see the joke; it was an hour of agony for her. When at last the meal was over and they could get away, the two girls ran up to the safe seclusion of Fan's room, where they talked It over breathlessly and in whispers. They decided that Dorothy should steal away under cover of darkness, take the first train for Easton and so make good her escape. AS to the sealskin sack, the cause of so much agitation. It was secretly stowed away In one of Mrs. Price’s lavender bags; Dot enveloped herself in a borrowed cravenette, hiding her face behind an automobile veil. With timid step the two conspirators slipped down to the lower hall. They could hear the men’s voices as they exchanged stories around the office fire. Just as the girls reached the lower step, with freedom almost Within reach, the office door opened and Dot’s pursuer stepped forth. “Pardon me, is this Miss Price?” he asked courteously. “Your father said I would find you in the sitting room.” “Oh—er—yes,” stammered Fan, trying to push palpitating Dorothy past him. He seemed such a pleasant, polite detective that for one reckless moment Fan entertained the idea of appealing to him in behalf of the innocent offender, but before she could speak he pulled a letter from his pocket. “It is for Miss Price and is from my sister, Nellie Dayton,” explained he. “Nellie Dayton your sister?” both girls exclaimed in surprise. “Yes,” he said cordially. “When she learned that I was coming up here for a few days’ shooting with some friends she insisted that I become her courier. She also intrusted to my care a kodak picture—some of her own work, I believe. It is a group of picnickers, among them yourself and your friend here. I recognized Miss Graham when I saw her at the station at Easton, although it is three years since I have seen her. I Was strongly tempted to make myself known at once, but I saw that she did not remember me.” Dot threw back her veil, disclosing a bright smile and a face beaming with relief. “I wish you had, Mr. Dayton,” she said, impulsively extending both hands. “It would have saved me such a scare.” “What?" inquired Dayton, mystified. “Not afraid of me?” “N-no—of your beard,” laughed Dorothy. in which Fan joined. “You were a beardless senior when I met you three years ago, you know." “So I was. Why, I did not think of that. What a chump I am.” Several days later, when “Brother George” came to Glen Echo with a significant ring for Fan Price, she told him in confidence that his prank was likely to cost his sister her freedom. “Imprisonment?” he asked in a horrified whisper. “That is severe punishment for smuggling one article.” “That depends upon the article smuggled,” Fan hinted, with a wise side glance. “I am afraid our Dorothy has been guilty of smuggling other things than sealskin coats, and she began three years ago.” “Three years a smuggler! Then she deserves the limit for such an offense.” “Deserves it? She would not be happy without the full penalty of the law —imprisonment for life! There, I told you so,” Fan added mischievously as Dot and Mr. Dayton strolled into view. “Here she comes now with her jailer.”

Her Faith In Drugs.

Faith In drugs was the subject under discussion when an elderly physician who had spoken against the practice of “dosing” by laymen told this story: “I had a patient once who complained ot pains in her right arm. She was otherwise well and strong and looked upon the little ache as nothing serious. Weeks after she bad been to see me she met me and said that she used the liniment I gave her on her bad arm every night and that when she did not use it she could not sleep. One night she retired before making the application, but reached from her bed to the table, got her liniment bottle, gave her arm a good rubbing and felt better for it and went to sleep. When she awoke the next morning she discovered that she had grabbed the wrong bottle and bad applied copious doses of black ink. It did her as much good as my liniment’* New York Tribune.

CARRIAGE HORSES.

Development of the American Type Rests Largely With Farmers. Since the inauguration of work for the development from American material of a carriage horse which would breed true to type has come a movement to establish classes for such horses at the national and state fairs. The sentiment for this has grown rapidly during the past year, and such classes have been added to the premium lists of fairs in lowa and Kentucky, states from which large numbers of American carriage horses are marketed. On their own initiative the lowa state fair held at Des Moines, the Kentucky state fair at Louisville and the Blue Grass fair at Lexington, Ky., have offered prizes for American carriage horses for the season of 1907. A uniform classification has been made possible -by a co-operative arrangement between the national bureau of animal industry and the American Association of Trotting Horse Breeders. The classification was worked out by the committee on heavy harness horses of the association. A cordial reception of the classiflcation by the horse press and managers of fairs is reported. Among the earliest to adopt the classification for 1907 were the interstate fair held in Kansas City and the Kansas state fair held in Hutchinson. Farmers Breed the Carriage Horses. The adoption of the classification by state fairs is especially urged by those interested in it for the reason that the state fairs are in the closest touch with farmers, that the farmers ace the breeders of most of the carriage horses sold on the American markets and that the value of the American horse for carriage purposes is rarely appreciated by the fanners who breed them. Hundreds of horses are sold annually by farmers at really insignificant prices which after some months of finishing and handling are sold as carnage horses at prices up into the thousands. Furthermore, there is a continual sale of stallions to supply this trade. These horses are usually of only moderate value as speed producers, but are of excellent carriage type. If kept entire and properly mated they could be of inestimable value as foundation sires of the American carriage horse. When the farmers appreciate the intrinsic value of the native light horse for carriage purposes and recognize the worth of the stallion with good conformation and quality, but only moderate speed, as a sire of carriage horses the problem of fixing the type will be one of early solution. Keeping Hogs In Bounds. An easy plan of keeping hogs from going from hog pastures to cow pastures and at the same time allowing

CATTLE STILE.

the cattle to go from one pasture to the other at will is credited by an exchange to a writer in the Farmer. As shown in the sketch, the opening in the fence may be as wide as desired. Two by twelve inch plank are nailed to the fence posts about four or six inches from the ground, and two extra posts are set out from the fence about a foot. The plank is nailed to the inside of these posts, and this plank should be about four feet longer than the one fastened to the fence so as to go by the opening at each end about two feet. The hogs cannot jump the two planks, and small hogs that go between them cannot jump over, as they are lengthwise of the opening. The cattle will readily step over. The same plan may be used for sheep, only three planks may be necessary to retain them, although the writer uses only two for them also.
