ABOUT PRAlRlE-DOGS,

What q Visitor to One of Their "Towns''"
Says of Them.
The prairie-dog is no more like dog
than he is like an elephant Instead of
being carnivorous canine, with dam
ger in his eye and treachery in his
mind, he is a prairie marmot, chubby,
fat-paunched ground-squirrel, with
short tail. He is the jolliest little ro-~
dent under the sun; he is as lively as a
cricket, as watchful as weasel, and,
to all appearances, as happy as the day
is long.
While you are still some distance
from the town you see the inhabitants
running freely about, nibbling at roots
and blades of grass, and foraging at
quite a little distance from their re-
spective dwellings; but as soon as you
show yourself within hundred wards
OF the municipal suburbs, the alarm is
quietly given and every dog scampers
for his burrow as fast as his stumpv
little legs can carry him.
On reaching his open door, which is.
a six inch hole running down through.
the center of a little mound like a.
miniature volcano with bottomless pit;
for crater, he poises himself on the
rim, stands up on his hind-feet so high
and so straight that he looks uncom-.
monty like tent peg, and views the
landscape DER.
When you get fairly into the town the.
holes are found to be as thick as apple
trees in an orchard, and on each of the.
mounds, excepting the very nearest.
there will be a prairie-dog, yapping
away at you as if his whole life depend
ed upon his bringing out hundred and
twenty yaps to the minute. Perhaps:
twenty dogs will be barking indus
triously at you in concert with twenty
tails jerking systematically in unison.
and twenty pairs of eyes watching you
with keen interest.
AS you slowly walk forward and cross
the imaginary dead line that the near
est dog has drawn around himself. he.
dives head foremost into the bowels of
the earth, and his tail wrinkles merri-
ly from side to side as his hind feet
disappear.
When you run forward and apply
your ear to the hole your hear an indis--
t:nct, sheff1ing sound, which grows.
fainter and fainter, until it finally
ceases, and then you hear his jolly lit
tie bark. ''Chit-tit-tit-tit!'' come like
smothered laugh from the regions be-

A Woman of One Poem.

Rose Hartwich Thorpe, the author of
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" Is
now living III the South for the benefit
of her husbands health, but as her own
health suffers there, they think of max
ing Southern California their future
home. She Is now a woman of 80, and
she wrote the well known verses when
she was under II. All she got for them
was letter of thanks from the editor
OF Detroit newspaper to whom she
sent the lines. She Is a native of
Indiana, and passed her childhood in
great poverty. She says: ''Of all dull,
prosaic lives, mine was the dullest and
most prosaic." When she wrote Cur
few" she had no education and no know
ledge of books, though she afterwards
applied herself to them and became a
school teacher. But even during her
early married life 1t was more import
ant to her reputation among her neigh
bors that she should ''keep house" in
approved fashion than that she should
write well, and she remarks: Until the
wear 1850 1 was laundrymaid, cook,
seamstress and nurse for my children. ."
This experience recalls the story of Mrs
George Ripley, to whom suspended
Harvard students used to go to be

found her listening at the same time to
one boy who was reciting Greek and
another who was demonstrating a propo-
sition in analytics, while she shelled

THE Marine Conference Is now con-
sidering the adoption Of a rule Tequir-
ing all boats to carry lights at night.
The proposition is that regardless of
size and whether they be rowboats,
sailboats or steamboats,, lights shall be
carried, and it is good one. No river
in America has so many small sail
boats as the Delaware during the sum-
mer time, and nearly every small boat
sailor in this vicinity has had one or
more narrow escapes from being run
down by larger vessels. Hundreds of
others did not escape, and tie great
majority OF the accidents and the mar
row escapes were due TO the fact that
the small boat had no light. The pilot
Of the steamboat, tug or sailing vessel
was hot able TO see the rowboat or cat
boat until it was too late To avoid 4
collision.
