COOT BE CALLED GOVERNOR STATES

Marshall Thinks That There Is No Great Haste to Vote On the Proposed Income : Tax Amendment. HE STATES, HOWEVER C HE WANTS AMENDMENT Thinks That the Government Should Now Curtail Expenses and Not Try to Raise More Income. . Indianapolis, Ind., July 21. If anyone has haj the Idea that Governor Marshall Intended to call a special session of the Legislature to consider ' the income tax amendment to the Federal constitution, they are mistaken. He does not propose to do anything of the kind. He will let the next regular session of the Legislature act on the matter. Recently Congress passed a bill calling on all the states to decide for themselves whether they wish the constitution amended so as to give Congress the power to enact an income tax law. Under the constitutional rule this means that in each state the Legislature shall submit the question to the. voters at a special or regular election. If eleven states vote against such an amendment to the constitution the scheme fails. This is the only way that an amendment can be made. : Want Prompt Action. Soon after the bill passed Congress the governors of some of the states, particularly the western states, announced their intention to call special sessions of their legislatures so that the matter can be taken up at once and voted on at elections that will be held this fall. Governor Marshall, however, is not one of this number. He says he will not call a special session but will leave the matter rest until the next regular session, a year from next winten The Governor is in favor of an Income tax law, all right, but he is also of the opinion that the Government would do better to curtain its present expenses instead of trying to raise more money to spend. Marshall's Reasons. "I do not wish to be understood as opposing an "Income1 tax measure,-'as such," he said. "I believe such a meas ure could be devised which would be of national benefit. I have not studied the proposed plan to say that it is or ' Is' not good. However, in my opinion, it. would be better for the lawmakers of the federal government to be considering means for saving money, rather than considering measures for raising more money. Many of the questions now agitating the country would be eliminated if a sensible policy of retrenchment were introduced and followed out. The federal government is ; spending annually more money than Is represented by the entire taxables of the state of Indiana. Instead of devising an Income tax measure as a means of raising more money, it would in my opinion be better to devise some means of operating the government on less money." The Governor says his main reason for ' refusing to call a special session of the legislature to consider the income tax measure is that there is no necessity for haste. He says if he could call the special session for the specific purpose of considering this one subject, however, he might do It, but that under the constitution the Legislature, once in session, could remain in session forty days if it wished to do so, and it could consider any an 1 all measures that might be introduced or presented.

MOST PHOTOGRAPHED MAN Eaton, O., July 21. Nathan Heywood aged about 75 years, universally considered an exact prototype for the cartoon drawn by artists and cartoonists to represent Uncle Sam, is ill at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harvey Kisling, south of Eaton. He is afflicted with a complication of diseases and chances for his recovery are not the best In an advertising capacity Mr. Heywood visited every state fair in the United States, dressed in a suit of the National colors, and everywhere seen the unanimous thought was of the striking resemblance which he bore to the cartooned Uncle Sam. He has probably been photographed by more photographers and sketched by more artists than any other individual in the world. Even without the suit of the red, white and blue, he is an exact counterpart. THIS WEEK Emmons Tailoring Co. will show the New FalL Styles in Suitings this week. The styles for the fall are very attractive. Neat plaids and stripes will be worn, also blue serges, Venetian cloth and unfinished worsteds in plain colors. There are , also Scotch mixtures and decidedly pretty" are certain Eng lish effects in which a distinctive pattern is produced by two tones of the same color blending into the design. A cordial invitation is extended to ail to see the new fall styles. Fine suits $15, $18, $20. 20-5t HAS BEEN RELEASED Eaton, O., July 21. Preston Tuttle, who was arrested a few days ago and placed in the county jail because of his failure to pay a sum assessed him lor the support of his child, an inmate at the Children's home, was released Monday after a hearing in the probate court. Tuttle was given the custody of the child and was allowed to take it to the home of his parents, where he promised it would receive the proper care and attention. In order to insure this he was placed under a bond. How to Grow Dollars. Every worker in the ranks hopes for a competence that will tuake bis old age comfortable and independent. Sudden strokes of fortune are rare. and. besides, they seldom come to those who fall to put up their lightning rods. There is no royal way to wealth, anl the only way the average person can hope for that competence is by saving. You must plant pennies and nickeb and dimes now that they may grow ti dollars when you need them. That seems rather u slew way. to be sure, but it is the only way. You can't an; more hope to gain independence li spending nil you make than you can hope to grow potatoes by eating them Besides, it isn't nearly so slow as i; seems.

CAMBRIDGE WOMAN PAINFULLY HURT Mrs. Boyd Falls Down a Stairway. Cambridge City, Ind., July 21. Mrs. Louisa V. Boyd, mother of Dr. H. B. Boyd, of this city, met with a very painful and what may prove to be, a very serious accident, Monday. Mrs. Boyd is visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary West, in Ada, Ohio. While descending the stairway, and within a few steps of the landing, she lost her footing and fell. She was badly bruised, but it is now thought thrt no bones were broken, as was first reported. Mrs. Boyd has a wide acquaintance over the state, having been actively identified with both church and literary work, as well as with the reforms of the day. I

IG-HORN, more commonly known as mountain sheep, are extremely wary and cautious animals, and are plentiful In but few places. This is rather surprising, for they seem to be fairly prolific (although not as much so as deer end antelope), and comparatively few are killed by the hunters. In size the big-horn comes next to buffalo and elk, averaging larger than the black-tail deer, while an old ram will sometimes be almost as heavy as r Up the slippery ice-covered buttes vie clambered. a small cow elk. In his movements he is not light and graceful like the prong-born and other antelopes, his marvellous agility seeming rather to proceed from sturdy strength and wonderful command over iron sinews and muscles. The huge horns are carried proudly erect by the .massive neck; every motion of the body is made with perfect poise; and there seems to be no ground so difficult that the big-born cannot cross it. There is probably no animal in the world his superior .in climbing; and his only equals are the other species of mountain sheep and the ibexes. No matter how sheer the cliff, if there are ever so tiny cracks or breaks in the surface, the big-horn will bound tip or down It with wonderful ease and seeming absence of effort. The perpendicular bounds It can make are truly startling in strong contrast with its distant relative the prong-horn which can leap almost any level jump, but seems unable to clear the smallest height. In descending a sheer wall of rock the big-horn holds all four feet together and goes down In long Jumps, bounding off the surface almost like a rubber ball every time he strikes It. The way that one will vanish over the roughest and most broken ground is a perpetual surprise to any one that has hunted them; and the ewes are quite as skilful as the rams, while even the very young lambs seem almost as well able to climb, and certainly follow wherever their elders lead. ; , To him the barren wastes of the Bad Iands offer a most attractive home; yet to other living creatures they are at ail tlms as grimly desolate and forbidding as any spot on earth can be; at all seasons they seem hostile to every form of life Occasionally the big-horn come down Into the va!le7s or along the grassy slopes to feed, but this is not often, and. in neh w avesv member of

HUNTING; THE

Mountain Sheep

BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT

t&eband'fs always keeping the sharpest look-out, and at the slightest alarm they beat a retreat to their broken fastnesses. At night-time or in the early morning they come down to drink at the small pools or springs, but move off the instant they have satisfied their thirst. As a rule, they spend their time among the rocks and rough ground, and it is in these places that they must be bunted. In color they harmonize curiously with the grayish or yellowish brown of the ground on which they are found, and It is often very difficult to make them ont when Ivinff motionless on a led ire of rock. Time and again they will be mistaken for boulders, and, on the other hand, I have more than once stalked up to masses of sandstone that, I have mistaken for sheep. ' ' When lying down the big-born can thus scan everything below it; and both while feeding and resting it invariably keeps the sharpest possible look-out for all danger from beneath, and this trait makes it needful for the hunter to always keep on the highest ground and try to coine on it from above. As far as lay in us, on our first day's bunt we paid proper beed to all the rules of hunting-craft: but without success. i the slippery, ice-coverea buttes we clambered, clinging to the rocks, and slowly working our way across the faces of the cliffs, or cautiously - creeping along the narrow ledges, peering over every crest long and carefully, and from the peaks scanning the ground all about with the field-glasses. But we saw no sheep, and but little sign of them. Finally we struck the head of a long, winding valley with a smooth bottom, and after cantering down it four or five miles, came to the river, just after the cold, pale-red sun had sunk behind the line of bills ahead of ns. Our horses were sharp' shod, and crossed the ice without difficulty; and in a grove of leafless cotton-woods, on the opposite side, we found the hut for which we had been making, the cowboy already Inside with the fire started. Throughout the night . the temperature sank lower and lower, and it was impossible to keep the crazy old hut anywhere near freezingpoint; the wind whistled through the chinks and crannies of the logs, and, after a short and by no means elaborate supper, we were glad to cower down with our great fur coats still on, tinder the pile of buffalo robes and bear skins. My sleeping-bag came In very handily, and kept me as warm as possible, in spite of the bitter frost. We were up and had taken breakfast next morning by the time the first streak of dawn had dimmed the brilliancy of the stars, and immediately afterwards strode off on foot, as we had been hampered by the horses on the day before. This day, though the weather had grown even colder, we did not feel it for we walked all the while with a quick pace, and the climbing was very hard work. The shoulders and ledges of the cliffs had become round and slippery with the ice, and it was no easy eask to move up and along them, clutching the gun in one hand, and grasping each little projection with the other. , When on the way back to camp, where the buttes rose highest and steepest, we came upon fresh tracks, but as it was then late in the afternoon, did not try to follow them that day. When near the hut I killed a sharp ta 11 for supper, making rather a neat shot, the bird being eighty yards off. The night wa3 even colder than the preceding one. and all signs to!d es that we wo-jdd soon have a change for tn worse In the weather, which made me doubly anxious to get a sheep before the storm struck us. We determined that next morning we. w.onId take the horres and make a quick push for the rt2ln of high boties where we had seen the fresh tracks, and hunt them throusb with thorough care. . We started in the cold gray of the morning and pricked rapidly off over

steam rising from the nostrils of the galloping horses. When we reached the foot of the hills where we Intended to hunt, and had tethered the horses, the sun had already risen, bnt It was evident that the clear weather of a fortnight past was over. The air was thick and hazy, and away off In the northwest a towering mass of grayish white clouds looked like a weather-breeder; every thing boded a storm at no distant date. The country over which we now hunted was wilder and more mountainous than any we had yet struck. High, sharp peaks and ridges broke off abruptly Into narrow gorges and deep ravines: they were bare of all bat the scantiest vegetation, save on some of the sheltered sides where grew groves of dark pines, now laden down with feathery snow. The climbing was as bard as ever. At first we went straight up the side of the tallest peak, and then along the . knife-like ridge which joined It with the nexThe Ice made the footing very slippery as we stepped along the ledges or crawled round the jutting shoulders, and we had to look carefully for our footholds; while In the cold, thin air every quick burst we made up a ateep hill caused us to pant for breath. We had gone but a little way before we saw fresh signs of the animals we were after, but It was some time before we came upon the quarry itself. . We left the high ground and-descending into a- narrow chasm walked j along Its bottom, which was but a couple of feet wide, while the sides rose up from it at an acute angle. After following this for a few hundred yards, we turned a sharp corner, and shortly afterward our eyes were caught by some grains of fresh earth lying on the snow In front of our feet. On the sides, some feet above our heads, were marks in the snow which a moment's glance shewed us bad been made by a couple of mountain sheep that bad come down one side of the gorge and had leaped serosa to the other, their sharp toes going through the thin snow and displacing the earth that had fallen to the bottom. The tracks had evidently been made Just before we rounded the corner, and as we had been advancing nolselesly on the snow with the wind In our favor, we knew that the animals could have no suspicion of our presence. They ! hail tmn. nn tttA ?1n An rtnf iHwKf tint as that on our left was much lower, and running for some distance parallel We found Mm lying on hie tide, to the other, we concluded that by running along Its top we would be most certain to get a good shot. Clambering Instantly up the steep side, digging my hands and feet into the loese snow, and grasping at every little rock or frozen projection, I reached the top; and then ran forward along the ridge a few paces, crouching behind the masses of queeriy-sbaped sandstone; and saw, about ninety yards off across the ravine, a couple of mountain rams. The one with the largest horns was broadside toward me, bis sturdy, massive form outlined clearly against the sky. as be stood on the crest of the ridge. I dropped on my knee, raising the rifle as I did so; for a second be did not quite make me out, turning his bead half round to look.

pitched forward, bat recovered Htm self and crossed over the ridge out of sight We jumped and slid down into the ravine again, and clambered up the opposite side as fast as our lungs and slippery ice would let us; then taking the trail of the wounded ram we trotted along. We bad not far to go; for. as x expected, we 'found ninnying on his side a couple of hundred yards beyond the ridge, bis eyes already glased in death. The bullet bad gone in behind the shoulder and ranged clean through bis body csosswlse, going a little forward; no animal leas tough than a mountain ram could have gone any distance at all with such a wound. He had meat obligingly run round to a part of the bill where we could bring up on of the horses without very much difficulty. Accordingly I brought up old Manitou, who can carry any thing and has no fear, and the bigborn was . soon strapped across his back. It was a line ram. with perfectly-shaped but not very large boms. The other ram, two years old, with small horns, had bounded over the ridge before I could get a abot at htm; we followed bis trail for half a mile, but as be shewed no signs of baiting and we were anxious to get home we then gave up the pursuit. - It was still early in the day, and we made up our minds to push back for the borne ranch, as we did net wish to be caught ont In a long storm. The lowering sky was already overcast by a mass of leaden-gray clouds; and It was evident that we bad no time to lose. In a little over an hour we were back at the log camp, where the ram was shifted from Manitou's back to the buckboard, A very few minutes sufficed to pack up our bedding and provisions, and we started home. Merrlfleld and I rode on ahead, not sparing the horses; but before we got borne the storm had . burst, and a furious blizzard blew in our teeth as we galloped along the last mile of the river bottom, before coming to the home ranch house; and aa we warmed our stiffened limbs before the log flra, I congratulated myself upon the successful outcome of what I knew would be the last bunting trip I should take during that season. The death of this ram was accomplished without calling for any very good shooting on our part. Be waa standing still, less, than a hundred yards off, when the snot was fired; and we came across him so close merer by accident Still, we fairly deserved our luck, for we bad bunted with the most patient and' painstaking care from dawn till nightfall for the better part of three days, spending most of the time in climbing at a smart rate of speed up sheer cliffs and over rough and slippery ground. Still-hunting the big-born Is always a toilsome and laborious task, and the very bitter weather during which we bad been out bad not lessened the difficulty of the work, though in the cold It was much less exhausting than It would have been to have hunted across the same ground In summer. No other kind of bunting does as much to bring out the good qualities, both moral snd physical, of the sportsmen who follow it If a man keeps at It It Is bound to make him both hardy and resolute: to strengthen his muscles and fill out his lungs. Mountain mutton is In the fall the most delicious eating furnished by any game animal.
