A Jealous Canary.

A lady in Cincinnati owns canary
which shows himself to be the victim OF
jealousy whenever his mistress pets any
other object. A few days sgo, IN order
to tease the canary, the lady took home
a toy bird so ingeniously constructed as
to chlrp' The sight of the imitation
bird and the sound of its voice so en-
ragged the real canary that he flew at the
object of his scorn and tried to tear it
to pieces. In the confusion a pet dog
ran upon the scene and Selling the toy
bird bore it away, the other flying
about the dogs head and chattering
until the door of the room was reached.
After its triumph the canary went back
to its cage, put its head between its
wings and refused to be comforted. No
amount of persuasion has since induced
the bird to sing.

THE CATTLE INTEREST.
Glowing Reports from the Ranges
Lincoln journal.

Lincoln journal.
In. Raymond, president of the Red
Willow cattle company, whose ranch
is located in Hayes county, returned on
Tuesday from trip to that section of
the country, looking after the interests
of his company.
During his trip, which included a
stay of three days during the round
up, Mr.. Raymond had ample opportu-
nifty to see in what condition stock had
come through the winter and also to
ascertain something definite concern
ing the percentage of loss. He says
that the loss is much less than had been
anticipated and that while it had been
talked of as ten, fifteen, twenty-five
and even thirty per cent, it has been
in reality but from one to five per
cent.
There were from 10000 to $4,000
cattle in the Red Willow roundup, and
Mr.. Raymond reports that they show
up in exceptionally fine condition.
They are sleek and vigorous, and will
lose no time from growing, as is too
often the case, in recuperating from the
hardships of the winter. Men who
were in the Colorado round-up-Colo-
RADIO men who are unprejudiced-st state
that the cattle in Nebraska are in much
better condition than those in. Colorado,
and that the herds show larger per-
centage of calves. This is due, doubt
less, to the better feed on Nebraska
prairies.
The year, on the whole, has been a
more than usually good one for stock
men, and those of our capitalists who
have money invested in cattle ranches
are feeling that there is no other place
where it could be put to better advan-
fopp

What Is esEY0lutiOn."

The word evolution is used IN so
many different senses-it is so vague
and Indefinite and nebulous-that a
categorical answer to the question, "Do
you believe in evolution?' is impossl-
BILE to almost every one. Evolution
may mean growth, as of a chick from
an egg; it may mean production, as of
an egg from hen; it may mean crea-
ton, as of intellect from matter. Until
the word is defined, it is impossible to
say whether one accepts it or not. Mr..
Herbert Spencer, to be sure, has de-
fined it, after his own peculiar techni-
cal fashion, and in his own special
Latin-Greek vocabulary. He says, as
nearly as we can recollect, that evolu-
ton is progress from an incoherent, in
definite homogeneity to a definite,
coherent heterogeneity, through a
series of differentiations and integra-
lions. But all so-called evolutionists
do not accept this definition; or at any
rate they use the word in a way that
would not be justified by this definition.
If so-called scientists would unite on
some definite meaning for this term and
then employ it always in that one sense,
it might be possible to discuss the SUBJ
ject with some hope of arriving at a

Anecd0te of Washington Irving.
Harper's Magazine.


Many years ago-in fact, back in
the thirties-Dr. Grant, of Enfield,
whose reputation as physician in
Connecticut is still in memory of the
first rank after years of retirement
from practice, was travelling in South
Carolina, his native state, going by
stage from Savannah to Augusta. At
a certain stopping place it was found
that there were more passengers than
the stage could carry, and an extra
was ordered for the accommodation of
five passengers. These passengers
were John Forsythe, of Georgia, John
Branch, postmaster-general, George
McDuffie, of South Carolina, DR.. Grant,
and an unknown gentleman. The
party soon became talkative, and by
degrees all knew who each one was,
with the exception of the one silent
stranger. AS the stage creaked along,
the attention of DR.. Grant, who was a
lad at that date, was attracted by a
little dog following the stage, which
reminded him of one described by
Washington Irving in s'Astoria,"
which he had just been reading. He
was laughing quietly to himself, when
one of the gentlemen insisted that he

A few years ago one of the stingiest
men in Iowa had his attention called to
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and D .arrhea Remedy, by his drug
gist, who also mentioned to him that
for trivial outlay he could indemnify
himself and family from bowel com
plant in all it's forms during the sum-
mer, that the preparation was the best
and most reliable in use for those dis
eases. ssNo!" said the worshiper of
mammon, "when [ need it will send
for it, none of my family are ever trou-
bled that way" In less than month
he had a severe attack of cholera NOR
bus and sent man in great haste for q
physician or medicine. The physician
sent for was some miles in the country,
and as it was Sunday night and in a
country town the drug stores were
closed, so word was left for the physi-
clan to call as soon as he returned.
After the man had suffered intensely
for several hours, and as he thought
taken hot medicine enough to kill a
horse, the physician called, gave him a
dose or two of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy, and it
was only few minutes until he was re-
lieved, and next day he was ready for
work. He said, as we'll as he liked
money, he would not suffer as much
again for fifty dollars, and has ever
since kept a bottle of the medicine in
the house. 25 and so cent bottles for
sale by all druggists.

The New Theology.
Popular Science Monthly

popular Science MOutniy.
Thus far in its presentation the New
Theology is reformatory rather than
revolutionary in its teachings and tend.
encies. 1t accepts the nomenclature OF
the Old, but shades or expands its
definitions so as to accord with the sub
tiler experiences and the enlarged OBJ
servations of the age; and it maintains
the dogmatic statements of the Old,
but modifies their exposition SO as to
bring them into harmony with the laws
and processes of being. 1t affirms with
the Old that faith is the basis of saliva
ton and of all deliberate activity, but
it gives no pre-eminence to any form of
faith by the salvation it secures and the
activity it inspires. With the old it
accepts all scripture given by inspira-
ton as divine, and interprets scripture
by scripture, but it holds in allegiance
all biblical utterances which seem I'M
reasonable, and rejects all which
are in conflict with the nature
of things or the course of
Providence, and aims to understand
and to corroborate the written word by
the works of Nature; and it maintains
that no portion of the Scripture can be
a revelation of God to man except to
the extent that it is understood and
conforms to the laws of being.
One of the most distinguished char
acteristios of the New Theology is its
respect for science, indicated by its eff
fort to put all its statements on a
scientific basis and submit them in a
scientific method, and to question the
value or utility of any doctrine which
does not come under some general and
harmonious law, or which can not be
scientifically presented; and, were this
the only claim of the New Theology, it
would entitle it to respectable hear
ing, as we'll as put it in striking con-
trast with the Old. 1t does not insist
that any of the great doctrines derived
from the Bible could have been discov-
cred by scientific investigation, but,
being disclosed by divine Inspiration,
as claimed, they are, when philosophi-
cally considered, recognized as reason
able and essential, and to be in accord
with the constitution of things.

conclusion. Do they include the doc
trine of the bringing into existence of
new species by infinitesimal accidental
variations in their doctrine of evolu-
tionp Do they maintain that spirit is
modification or a product of matter?
Do they assert that it is impossible that
anything can be known concerning the
First Causep If they do, then we shall
know that Christianity never can assent
to the doctrine; but until there is some
such consensus among evolutionists as
to the meaning of their distinguishing
epithet, and some uniformity of usage
among them of the word evolution, we
do not think believers in the Bible need
trouble themselves about the doctrine,
one way or the other.

A TattOed Tramp.
Carson Appeal.

Carson Appeal.
The other day tramp walked into a
Carson yard and asked for days work
trimming trees, assuring the man of
the house that an old pair of pants or a
square meal would be considered equiv
alent for the job. The man who owned
the premises was philanthropic fell
low, and fished up an old pair of pants
in a few moments, at the same time set
ting the stranger to work mauling the
wood pile. While thus engaged the
children got around him and were daz-
lied with the pictures of some angles
in red and blue and lot of sheet an
chors and mermaids tattoed on his arms.
They soon learned the stormy history
of his life. He had been sailor in the
Caribbean, Caspian and Polar seas, and
after giving a graphic account of his
tiger hunts in India, his wrestles with
gorillas in Africa, and his great catch
as-catch-can match, Queensbury rules,
with boa-constructior in South Amer
lea, and it is but due to add that he
commanded the entire respect and at
tention of the audience. When the
wood pile had been sufficiently splin-
tered he announced that the hospitality
he had received called for more work,
and there seeming to be nothing spec
ial liz sight he expressed himself as I'M
easy unless he was shown something
more. One of the girls asked him if he
could put some pictures on her as he
had on his arm. He said he could and
in twinkling produced the necessary
paraphernelia. The children were SIM
ply delighted and almost had riot dis
putting over the first choice. By 4
o'clock in the evening he had two young
boys, aged four and seven, and a baby
all covered over with South American
scenery, hearts, sheet anchors and Ital-
ian sunsets, besides making engage
ments with twelve of the neighbors
children and enough of prospective jobs
to last him week. When last seen he
was leaving the premises in front of a
shotgun and bull dog.

One OF Washington's Curious Cranks,

Philadelphia Press.
That remarkable crank, Maurice
Pinchover, who has haunted the halls
of the capitol at Washington so long,
and to whom Ben Perley Poore gave a
national fame by putting his picture in
the Century Magazine, is dying in an
insane asylum at Washington. His
pet delusion was that some member of
congress, usually the speaker, had
swindled him out of millions of acres of
land. How often he has come storm
ing around the house of representatives
and been forced out nobody but the
police can tell. Until lately he was
never more violent than to pound with
The big tin case, in which he carried
the title deeds to his fictitious estates,
whoever ventured to disagree with
him. Then his crankism took a more
dangerous turn, and, for fear that he
might do harm, he was committed to
the asylum in which he will probably
take leave of life. He is an interesting
mental wreck. Nobody knows any
thing of his antecedents, but it is evil
dent from his talk in lucid moments
that he has been highly educated and
intelligent man.

ANIMAL SAGACITY.
The Newfoundland Dog and the Pony.

Chicago News.
A man stood on lakewood boulevard
whistling to large Newfoundland dog
that lay doing in the grass that bor-
dered the curbstone few rods away.
A shaggy little pony nibbled the long
grass which the dog had for the nonce
utilized as bed, occasionally pushing
his Unmatched companion over with
his nose to get tempting lunch half
hidden from view. Without resenting
this familiarity the dog good-naturedly
rolled out of reach, Immediately laps
ing into sleep. Aroused by his mas
ter's cries of "bring him in; bring him
in" the dog rose lazily to his feet,
stretched, shook himself, eyed the pony
a moment, gave one or two low pitched
banks and started toward his master.
There was little difference between
them in point of height and size, only
the dog appeared the heavier of the
two. AS the latter moved away it could
be seen that there was something more
in common between them than a mere
spirit of fellowship. The pony wore a
halter made of stout cord, one end of
which was fastened around the dog s
neck.
"Hurry up" said the man, impa-
tiently, and with that the dog forged
ahead, tugging vigorously at the cord,
but the pony was 10th to leave the juicy
grass, and took bite here and there,
in nowise disturbed by his mates eff
forts to hasten his steps. With an an
cry growl the dog wheeled about, came
up in the pony's rear, and gave him a
sharp pinch on the bullock, which
caused him to spring at once into gal
lop. Taking advantage of the sudden
impetus which his strategy had occa-
stoned, the dog again took the lead,
keeping the cord taut, and before the
pony had OWNED this latest move he
was within the confines of the stable
yard.
The sagacious herder relieved him.

1T PAYS.

1t pays to wear q smiling face,
And laugh our troubles down,
For our troubles wait
Our laughter or our frown.
Beneath the magic of smile
Our doubts will fade away,
AS melts the frost in early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
1T pays to make worthy cause,
BY helping it, our own;
To give the current of our lives
A true and noble tone.
1t pays to comfort heavy hearts,
Oppressed with dull despair,
And leaves in sorrow darkened lives
Our CLEAN of brightness there.
1t pays to give helping hand
To eager, 'rnest youth;
To note, with all their waywardness,
Their courage and their truth;
To strive, with sympathy and love,
Their confidence to win;
1T pays to open wide the heart
And "let the sunshine in"
