"Cloth stretched as tightly as it is for the best three-cushion tables would absolutely prevent any kind" of a decent showing in balk-line play. I suppose no two tables are really the same for speed, though, of course, with the same quality of cloth, it is possible approximately to have two tables alike.

These long runs at balk-line are absolutely impossible unless the cloth is kept loose enough to hold the balls." PHYSICIANS MUCH INTER-i ESTED. A WEAPONLESS HUNTER. Woodsman Who Chokes Beam and Wildcats to Death, and Hunts Small Game with Stones. rV Pwfl? Millions of Bottles Bob Brown, of Fox Hollow, is a woodsman who gets much game, yet uses neither gun nor knife, nor any other weapon except occasionally a club or a stone, says the New York Sun. He has a record of choking bears to death, and even a wildcat is among his trophies that he bagged in that way.

His manner of hunting bears is of Syrup of Figs and the universal satisfaction which it has given attest the fact that it possesses the qualities which commend it to public favor. With the diffusion of knowledge of what a laxative should be and a general understanding of the fact that it should have a truly laxative and beneficial effect and be wholly free from every objectionable quality, or substauce, the large and growing de-dctaand for Syrup of Figs ehows that it is destined to supplant the old-time cathartics which were generally injurious and usually disagreeable as well. In Syrup of Figs one finds a true laxative, simple and pleasant to the taste, gentle in its action and beneficial in effect. In the process of manufacture figs are used as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal virtues of Syrup of Figs are obtained from an excellent combination of plants known to be medicinally laxative and to act most beneficially.

He was gradually growing worse and as advanced he became very despondent, often wondering if he would have to endure' this suffering all his lifetime. But at last he found a remedy that cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He was much pleased, but did not say much about it lest the good effect he experienced would not last. Now, however, after months of continued good health he has concluded that he is permanently cured, and his announcement of this has caused a profound sensation, among the physicians and the people who knew of his apparently hopeless condition. If to trail one to its feeding grounds, get to the windward of it, creep stealthily upon it, and, when near enough, throw a horse blanket or sometimes his coat over its head.

While the bear is blinded and its forepaws entangled in it, Brown jumps in, finds the bear's windpipe with lis right hand, clutches it with a grip like a vise, and actually chokes the bear to death. At least, he has succeeded in killing two in this way. One of them weighed over 200 pounds and one was a 110-pounder. The wildcat that Brown choked to death leaped at him from a hollow stump where she had kittens concealed. Brown, who is a powerful man, seized her by the throat while ehe was still in the air and held her at arm's length until she was dend, with her hind legs drawn clear up to her breast.

He killed a wildcat once with a single blow of his fist, crushing the animal's skull. Huffed grouse, or partridge, as they are called by the natives, will tree when flushed if they hear the barking of a dog. Brown hunts partridges by imitating the bark of a whiffet, when the birds rise. When they tree he brings them down with stones, with which his aim is almost unerring. He is said to be able also to kill a running rabbit by Btone throwing.
