Officers at Fort Thomas have recom mended the site of the old government rifle range, on the Licking river, back of Newport. Ky.. as a desirable loca tion for one of the six remount sta tions that will shortly be established by the war department to furnish horses for the United States army, says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib une. It is the Intention of the war depart ment to raise all horses that are to he used in the future by the cavalry, ar tillery and infantry divisions of the army ns well as mules for the quarter master and commissary departments. At the present time great difficulty is encountered to supply enough good horses for the army. Agents of the war department scour the country regions and buy up all desirable horses. During the recent Japanese war talk it was pointed out by army officers that the United Stjites could not prop erly mount the different branches of the service, as there are barely enough desirable horses on tiie market to sup subject to. “/ can eet anything before mo and ply the pro; “ill standing army ot 00.- digest anything I eat.

The system of remount stations will put an end to tills practice, which has becu the source of considerable annoy ance, as many of the horses have been found worthless after efforts to train them. Every horse that leaves a re mount station will be thoroughly test ed. Farmers will lx* encouraged to raise horses for the army, as the govern ment will purchase horses ar all times without making the farmers wait, as is the present custom, until the army needs them. The Newport rifle range is recom mended because uincinnatl is a good horse and mule njarket, and it is the idea of the government to have agents watch the market for desirable steeds. Plan to Photograph a Whola City. A photographic view of Kansas City is to be taken in September from a balloon or an aeroplane. The photo graph will be taken from a point 1.500 feet above Harlem and will include the city from Sheffield to Swope park on the south and the stockyards and .Armourdule on the west, says the Kan sas City Star. When finished the pho tograph will Ik* about four feet long by a foot and a half wide. A repre sentative of a Chicago firm of photog raphers consulted with P. Connor, weather forecaster, the other morning concerning weather conditions in the early fall, particularly the prevailing winds. The balloon will be used in the •vent that there is not sufficient wind to *UDDort the aeroplane. Fine Instruments Have Eicon Picked Up Cheap. I real nuinliers of line old violins and oloncellos thal <*omo into the high 1.-.S market or London are procured rough Ihe medium of iulvertisenieids isorted in olsrr.iv country paport. id especially those of ancient enthe- ral eilies. Of course few of the fiddles thus ob ’ lined are veritable masterpieces, but i great many of them a re line exam ples of early English and foreign mak • rs. and they are often bought for ri- ■ iculousiy small prices by a group of •Xpert*, who have brought the busi- less to a lucrative system. Many a (niggling family of long descent, in ome oat of the way part of the coun ry. happens to see in the one cowntj icw-spaper of the week that good prices are given for old Addles, and ome long forgotten instrument in a umber room or put away on a shelf uddenly conies to mind. Correspondence follows. The dealer ends a deposit in order that some lul- Ue spoken of may Le sent to him and examined, and he usually replies that :lie instrument sent is dilapidated and >ut so-so generally, hut that lie is will ing to give .'10 shillings or £2 for it. In i great many eases the offer is ac cepted offhand, and in this way most of the finest fiddles extant of the sec ond class come into the hands of deal ers. Only lately a cello that came from a Shropshire farm at the price of £2 sold the same day to a west end dealer for nearly £li>0. One of the most shrewd and respect ed of all these dealers was until a year or two ago a humble member of the orchestra of a London suburban theater. He began to advertise in re mote papers to the greatest limits of his scanty wages and is now one of the most extensive and prosperous dealers in the trade.—London Tit-Bits A.TiLLY TRAGEDY. The Duel Between Tom Porter ano t»ir Henry Bellasis. Some of the royalists who were forced to endure the English common wealth seemed to console themselves for the dullness of life under a Puritnfi government by lighting as many duels fts they could compass, so that ignoble squabbles and foolish plots make up the history of their days. Tom Porter was of a family which had zealously served the king. Under the new government his occupation was gone, and he descended to a triviality of life which finally involved him In a most pathetic event. This was a duel which lie fought with his friend. Sir Henry Bellasis, and which, says Popys in ins “Diary,” is worth remembering for “the silliness of the quarrel. * * * a kind of emblem of the general com plexion of the whole kingdom.” But, siily as the quarrel undoubtedly was, it carried in it an element of heart break. \ The two young men involved were intimate friends and companions, but one day, “being merry in company,” Tom Porter said he should like to see the man in England who would dare give him a blow. With that Sir Henry Bellasis struck him a box on the ear. The Inevitable duel followed, wherein each was wounded. Sir Henry proved io be seriously hurt, so he called Por ter, kissed and bade him fly. “For,” said he, “Tom, thou bast hurt me, but I will make shift to stand upon my legs till thou rnayest withdraw, for I would not have thee troubled for what thou hast done.” Porter profited by his friend’s gener osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry died a few days later, and Pepys con- dude's. “It is pretty to see how the world do talk of them as a couple of fo<ds that killed one another out of love." TICKER FOR CONGRESS. Tapes In AM Committee Rooms to Re port Events on Floor. The ticker for congress is the latest wrinkle devised to lighten the burden of the heavily laden congressman. In Btrmnents quoting the market of the New York Stock Exchange will lie placed in the committee fooms when t!'< new office buildings are completed, •ays n Washington special to the New York World. The distance between the office build ings and the capltol is several hundred feet, and the ticker will save the con gressman walking this distance many times a day. The idea is to employ a trained newspaper man to watch the proceedings on the floor of the house and senate and send the reports out on the ticker. The house office building will be ready for use during the next congress. That some ambitious congressman might accidentally have his tape ma chine connected with the Wall street tickers Is a suggestion of wickedness in a national legislator that is purely con Jectural. KEY BENDING BEETLE. London Zoo’s New Insect Which Lives on Rotten Fruit. The insect house of the zoo In Lon don recently received a rare and curl ous acquisition, says a special corre spondent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It Is a fine specimen of the Goliath beetle from South America, which on account of its size and fiem appearance would send the British housemaid *'jto hysterics. It Is nearly five inches long and looks like a miniature parson in a white surplice and black stole. It is not poisonous nor intentionally ferocious but there is a spot between the neck and shoulders which acts like a vise. A finger placed in this aperture would be broken. The other day a keeper in serted a key there. Goliath bent it almost double by merely shrugging his shoulders. This great beetle is the most inex- pefisive guest In the zoo, for he feed.- - Grind*! QoMip. Grindal, Aug. 28«—The protracted meeting at Rehoboth closed Sunday. The pastor. Rev. L. R. Gaines, was ably assisted by Mr. Jno. Kirby, a rising young man of Gaffney. Most of the sermons were quietly yet force fully rendered and God’s love for men beautifully portrayed, and judging by the testimonials and happy faces, we would say that they were not de livered in vain. The visitors to the meeting were MIsg Lillian Jones, of Gaffney; Miss Julia Wood and broth er. Jamie, of Gaffney route; Miss Car rie Lee Williams, of Gaffney; Mr. Roffert Horn, of Union; Mr. Boyd Page and sister, of Pacolet; Mr. Brooke Porter and sisters, of Timber Ridge; Mr, Colie Holmes. 0 f Gaffney; Mr. and Mrs. Wane Frfdmore, of Sunnyslde; Mrs. Lucinda Fowler, of Union, and Mrs. Eva Moorhead, of Hickory Grove. Perhaps there were others whom we failed to note. Fodder pulling is the order of the day. A series of meetings began at As ‘ bury Sunday. We noted what "C.” said about our letters some time ago and thank him for same, but “C.,” we are some times almost persuaded to quit sit ing. Mr. and Mrs. James Arrowood. of Union, have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Mayfield, of this place. We have very little news to report as most of the doings of the past week consisted of eating and drink ing and going to churc.h Annie Laurie.

For angling in quiet, deep running water more sinkers should be placed on the leader to keep it down from the surface, but if angling in a quick running brook or river for chub, dace or brook trout tbe float and sinkers should lie removed and the bait al lowed to run in front of the angler wherever it wills on the surface by the action of tbe current, which takes it naturally just as nature does their general food. Louis Rbead In Outin? Magazine Advertising is called by some an art. If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than th^ proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In • (tore where the employer ■ells goods side by side with his clerks It is rare that the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason issimple.
