Is your support worth two cents? If not, don’t read the rest of this. If it is ,why haven’t you sent in your straw vote to the Pioneer in support of your man? The Pioneer is not tak- ing this vote for a past time. Tt wants an accurate expression of the preferences of its readers. Mail it or hand it in at the office now. The first ship that crossed the ocean propelled by steam carried as a part of its cargo several hundred volumes of a book written by a “learned scholar,” “proving” the phy- sical impossibility of navigation by steam power. i When Peter Cooper, the great in- ventor, raced his first locomotive with a stage-coach drawn by white horses and was defeated, peo- | ple who feared that the locomotive| would mean the passing of the horse returned home again to the quiet farm and the peace of agricultural pursuits.—Thus does the two world move. We stand at a new point in time— the dawn of a new age of thought is flushing the sky. Man has solved the riddle of the universe; it is energy. There is nothing in the universe but this one mysterious substance and life itself is nothing more than trans- formed sunlight. Man has solved the riddle of en- ergy because he has found a way to harness and apply it. Since Ben Franklin sent his kite into the sky and made peace with the lightning’s flash, the world has moved forward at a pace which even those who have played the biggest part in this ad- vancement themselves really do not comprehend. While a certain contingent of the “old school,” which insists on run- ning a flower garden in winter and cutting ice in summer, sits about idly on boxes talking of the folly of the airship and how, “if it had been in- tended that man should fly he would have been provided with a pair of wings,”—an aviator sails down over New York City from St. Louis, circles the Singer Building a few times, crosses the Hudson—and out of sight against the eastern sky. We stand at the tomb of the old way of doing things—the world is beautified in degree as we make it so. The thing we elect to do reflects the spirit of the man who plays the game. The spirit of the man Wwho conducts a business is seen in every advertisement, in every sale, in every display of merchandise and, most of all, in the class of customers that pat- ronizes his place of business. “Power gravitates to the man who knows how.”—Customers rally to the store that offers the finest service in conjunction with the most depend- able merchandise. The old, ossified notion that a shop was a place for the rat and cobweb to make merry has been given an appropriate burial. Today, the shop, the store, the plant, the factory—is a place where men do useful work; and to do use- ful work is the greatest happiness— and the greatest happiness is the greatest good. Nothing goes in business anymore but honesty, integrity, and material- ized truth. The drupken poet who rhymed verses and reveled in wine has been succeeded by the man -who builds temples to truth and beauty, ‘who paves streets, lights cities, builds parks, constructs bridges, plants flow- ers and gardens and gives employ- ment to the sons and daughters of men. 0ld methods of doing things in ev- ‘ery craft, profession and business have been discarded and we have evolved more practical, efficient and beautiful ways. The part each of us plays in this drama is recorded for or against us here and now. You are becoming a master in your line Whereas many public men take their physical exercise at one or more of the recognized athletic pastimes, Senator Robert M. La Follette, Progres- sive Republican candidate for president, when relaxed from his mental labor, dons 2u old pair of Mexican trousers and a big straw hat and plunges into farm work at his home near Madison, Wis. One of his favorite diversions is actual tilling of soil. picture was a snapshot of the senator while driving a disc harrow. The accompanying It was taken by Alfred T. Rogers, La Follette’s law partner. The senator had thrown his suspenders back and Mrs. La Follette was removing them so that Mr. Regers could snapshot the senator. The latter’s partner did not wait, how: ever, and caught the picture before it was ready. or else you are on the high-road to the oblivion of mediocrity —Effi-/ cieney, CHEETAH HUNT IN INDIA Sport Was Once Very Popular With English Resldents—Is Not | Rare Beast. ¥ The cheetah Iunt which the vice-! roy witnessed recently at Hyderbad | reminds one that cheetah hunting was | an extremely popular sport with In-; dian princes in former days, although ! the initiation of European forms of sport has done much in these times to rob it of anclent vogue. It was practiced both by Hindu and Mohammedan chieftains over the greater part of India, for the cheetah even now is not a rare beast, and a century or so ago must have been common enough. i Another animal used in the same way by Indlan nobles was a sort of lynx, spelled variously as “shoe- goose,” “syahgush.” But this was used much more rarely than the chee-; tah. However, it was not only In- dlans who indulged in this form of| sport. | It was enjoyed and practiced by| Europeans as well in the days when for fifteen years at a stretch and ‘When they lived a I'Indienne in a way unknown to modern times. More than one of the Company’s nabobs kept their own cheelahs, which were fre- quently presents from friendly chiefs. It may easliy be imagined that chee- tah hunting was very good sport and welcomed by the servants of the Company as an excellent substitute for the coursing which was familiar to them in England and which, like the cheetah hunt, has vanished be- fore the spread of games such as ten- nis and golf.—Madras Mail. | they were content to abide in India| | TO THE WAYS OF THE WILD Timid Doe Finds There Is Some Good After All in the White Bipeds of the City. The heart of a deer, a poor, timid, pretty little doe, must have been near to bursting with gratitude a few days ago. Somewhere up among the pines in the moonlight she must sure- ly have found & way, dumb brute though she is, to tell her companions of the antlered tribe how good after all are the white” bipeds of the city when the hunting season is over. Out of the maelstrom of queer sights and scenes of snorting, puffing monsters that ran on wheels and ut- tered terrifying metallic sounds in Which she found herself she was trans- ported back to her native environ. ment—in a motor car, Poor, little trembling creature, She shook and cowered and looked as though she were gazing upon the end from her great liquid eyes. They took her back to the mountains, loosened their hold upon the soft neck and sald to her: “Go, little girl.” She hesitated a minute, then, realiz. ing what to her was doubtless some- thing beyond all belief, she sprang from the tonneau of the motor car and in three bounds was out of sight. Whatever caused the animal to stray Into the city from some one of the nearby canyons no one knows.—Los Angeles Times. —_— Promoting Pleasant Impressions. “What is leave to print?” inquired the lady who has the art of seeming interested. “Leave to print,” replied Senator BSorghum, “is something that enables a man to pretend that he has deliv- ered a speech, and which also enables his friends to pretend that they have made themselves familiar with its contenta.” This is the season of the year when mothers feel very much concerned over the. frequent colds contracted by their children, and have abund- ant reason for it as every cold weak- ens the lungs, lowers tLe vitality and paves the way for the more serious diseases that so often follow. Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy is famous for its cures, and is rleasant and safe to take. For sale by all dealers. " THE WAY NOWADAYS.

An Englishman who was appointed to an important post in China got mar rled soon after. Among the recipients of the usual little card boxes contain- ing a plece of wedding cake was a Chinese merchant with whom the bridegroom had an outstanding ac- count for goods supplied. After the honeymoon, one of the firs§ persons the newly wedded hus- band met was his Celestial creditor. “And how did you like the cake?” said the Englishman, laughing, after the usual congratulations. “Ah, ah,” returned the Chinaman, | with a cunning leer, “me no such big fool to eat him, sah. Me put cakee in fire. Burn him up. He, he!” “Oh, that’s too bad,” said ‘the Eng- lishman, very much hurt. “You might have tasted it, at least, out of com- pliment to my wife and myself. Why, didn’t you?” “Me too clute, sah,” said the Celes- tial, with the same winning -smile. “You owe me monee, sah; sendee poi-| ' son cakee; I eat him; I dle; you no payee up. Houp-la!
