In which the wild creatures live, and tried
to pitcure to myself what life would be to
me, or to any Of us, hedged about by so
many dangers, real or imaginary.
The squirrel would shoot up the tree,
making only brown streak from the bot
tom to the top, would seize his nut and rush
down again in the most precipitate manner.
Halfway to his den, which was not over
three rods distant, he would rush up the
trunk of another tree for a few yards to
make an observation. No danger being
near, he would dive into his den and reap
pear again in twinkling. Returning for
another nut, he would mount the second
tree again for another observation. Salts
fed that the coast was clear, he would spin
along the top of the ground to the tree that
bore the nuts, shoot up it as before, seize
the fruit, and then back again to his re-
treat
His Little Nerves at High Tension.
Never did he fail during the half hour or
more that watched him to take an obser-
vation on his way both to and from his nest.
It was "snatch and runr" with him. Some

were just beginning to slit down, and the
squirrel was eager to finish harvesting his
nuts in time 1t was quite touching to see
how hurried and anxious and nervous he
he was I felt like going out and lending
a hand. The nuts were small, poor pig
nuts, and 1 thought of all the gnawing he
would have to do to get all the scanty meat
they held. The red squirrel is not so provi-
dent as the chipmunk. He scorns to lay I'D
stores irregularly, by fits and starts; he
never has enough put up to carry him over
the winter; hence he is more or less active
all the season. Long before the December
snow the chipmunk has for days been max
ing hourly trips to his den with full pockets
of nuts or corn or buckwheat till his bin
holds enough to carry him through to April.
He need not, and I believe does not. set
foot out of doors during the whole winter
But the red squirrel trusts more to luck.
As alert and watchful as the red squirrel
is he is frequently caught by the cat. My
Mig, as black as ebony, knows we'll the taste
of his flesh. have known him to be caught
by the blacksnake and successfully swal-
lowed. The snake, no doubt, lay in ambush
for him.
The Czar Knows the Feeling.
This fear, this ever present source of dan.
ger of the wild creatures, we know little
about. Probably the only person in the civ
iliZed countries who is no better off than the
animals in this respect is the Gear of Russia.
He would not even dare gather nuts as
openly as my squirrel A blackerand more
terrible cat than Mig would be lying in wait
for him and would make meal of him. The
early settlers in this country must have ex-
perienced something of this dread of appre-
hension from the Indians. Many African
tribes now live in the same state Of constant
fear of the slave catchers or of other hostile
tribes Our ancestors back in prehistoric
times, or back of that in geologic times,
must have known fear as constant feel
ing. Hence the prominence of fear in in
fsnts and children when compared with the
youth or the grown person. Babies are
nearly always afraid Of strangers
In the domestic animals also fear is much
more active in the young than In the old.

their part in songs, reSitations and Gi-

splendidly, especially the pant at the
close in which, by means Of a dialogue,
they made an appeal for collection.

WON ON A FOUL.
Len Phelps and Thurber Fought "Gamy
Saturday Night.

Len Phelps and Thurber Fought "Gamy"
Saturday Night.
G. r. Thurber is no longer king of
sporting circles in Redwood. Like
Sullivan, he fought once too often, or
rather deliberately fouled in the ring
once too often. He was officially van
pushed by L. R. Phelps, young
Hutchinson pugilist.
The mill took place last Saturday
night, down on the Minnesota bottom,
just across the river. About $50 adj
mirers of the sport pulled out for the
spot in carriages and wagons and on
foot about 1870 o'clock. A sixteen
foot ring was quickly pitched, and the
sluggers appeared stripped to the
waist. The referee disappointed the
crowd by announcing that it would
only be five round contest, but the
first round made them forget their dis
appointment.
At call of time the contestants came
up quickly, Thurber taking the ag-
gressive and landing one or two wick
ed blows on Phelps chest and face.
The latter, however, also took the ag-
gressive, and for the next two minutes
and a half, blows were landed on each
others chest, side and face more rap
idly than the falling of chestnuts after
the first hard frost. When time Was
called both men were weary and pulled
hard.
The second round was counter
ance of the first, so far as smuggling
was concerned. Thurber deliberately
fouied Phelps, by catching one of his
legs and dropping him to the ground.
Phelps remained there until the count
OF six, when he jumped up quickly,
before Thurber cculd reach him. Time
was called with honors equally divided.
In the third round a minute or more
was consumed in chasing. Then, the
two men came together, both using
full strength and each landing a ter
rife blow on the others face. Thurber
went to the ground, dazed slightly
but Phelps was SO exhausted, that
when Thurber came up, and he struck
at him, the blow, at snail pace, passed
under Thurber's chin. The round end
ed in a clinch.
In the fourth round, after a few,
blows were exchanged Thurber again
deliberately fouled by catching
Phelps leg and throwing him. The
referee warned Thurber that if the
foul was repeated he would give the
fight to Phelps. With heavy breath
ing both men landed blows, slow by
utter exhaustion, on the face, breast
and head, and while thus fighting,
time was called.
At the opening of the fifth round
Thurber, for the third time delibar-
ately fouled, and without further hes
'itation the fight and money was given
to Phelps. That Thurber was the
best man at this time, no one doubted.
His fouling was condemned as I'M
worthy of any man, and may cost him
a better punishment sometime in the
future.

One Horse Power.

When men first begin to become fa-
miliar with the methods of measuring
mechanical power they often speculate
ON where the breed of horses is to be
found that can keep at work raising
5000 pounds one foot per minute, or
the equivalent, which is more familiar
to some mechanics, of raising $50 pounds
100 feet per minute. Since $4,000 pounds
raised one foot per minute is called one
horse power, it is natural that people
should think the engineers who estab-
lished that unit Of measurement based
it on what horses could really do. But
the horse that can do this work does not
exist.
The horse power unit was established
by James Watt about a century ago, and
the figures were fixed in a curious way.
Watt found that the average horse of
his district could raise %, 900 pounds one
foot per minute. At that time Watt
was employed in the manufacture of en-
gines, and customers were SO hard to
find that all kinds of artificial induce.
ments were necessary to induce power
users to buy steam engines. AS a method
Of encouraging them Watt offered to sell
engines reckoning 80, 900 foot pounds to
a horse power. And thus he was the
means Of giving a false unit to M Of
the most important measurements in the
world. Rider and Driver.

\ Curious Mining Coincidence.

The figure 0 is curiously and intimate
ly connected with all the great gold
mining eXcitements Of the Nineteenth
century. The great Algerian gold bub-
bic formed and broke in 1909. Next
came the Mantazan mountain craze in
1889, when solid powders of gold as
large as flour barrels were reported. The
California gold fever broke out in 1849,
and ragged until counteracted by the
Pixies Peak boom in 1859. Ten years
later, in 1869, ''Old Virginy," the cele-
brated miner, struck the lucky lead
which made Virginia City and Nevada
famous III the mining annals Of the
world. Eighteen hundred and seventy

The Gulf Stream.

The question is often asked, To what
extent does the Gulf Stream modify the
climate of the United States? To its
supposed cratic movements is laid the
blame of every abnormal season. There
is every evidence that the Gulf Stream
is governed absolutely by law in all its
changes. The course through the ocean
Is without doubt fixed. Its fluctuations
are by days, by months, by seasons or
by years, and they do not vary materi-
ally n from the other. Its temperature
changes, depending upon the relative
heat of the tropical and polar seasons,
and upon the strength of the producing
trade winds. The warm water may BIZ
driven toward the shore by the waves
caused by a favorable wind, but the cur
rent remains in its proper place. The
warm water gives off a certain amount
of heat to the air above it, and if this air
is moved to the land we feel the heat.
The presence of the warm water on
the coast of Europe would in no way
modify the climate if the prevailing
winds were easterly instead of westerly.
If the prevailing winds in New England
in winter were southeast instead Of
northwest, the climate would be equal to
that Of the Azore islands, mild and
balmy. For the cause of abnormal sea-
sons we may look to meteorology. The
current is in its place ready to give off
the heat and moisture to the air when
ever the demand is made upon it, but
by the cratic movements of the air this
heat and moisture may be delivered at
unexpected times and seasons, and thus
give rise to the belief that the
Gulf Stream itself has gone astray.-

Canine SagacitY.

Mr.. o. D. Everson of this place has a
handsome dog that delights in the name
of Bushwhacker, and from all accounts
this same Bushwhacker possesses a Won
derful amount of sagacity.
Mr.. Everson's mother resides in Bry-
a~ntville, about eight miles from this
place, and a few weeks ago she was sur
prised to see Bushwhacker at the door
whining to come in. Upon opening the
door the dog began to bark and appeared
to have something on his mind.
He was told to lie down, but although
he had travelled so far, the dog evidently
preferred to stand up, and not until a
note was found under his collar did
Bushwhacker manifest any desire to
rest.
The place where the lady resides is
quite a distance from the p~ostofice, SO
that the dog acts as letter carrier, max
ing the trip of eight miles every day in
the week.
Bushwhacker is a great dog for rab-
bits, but a whole army of the stubtailed
rodents might cross his path when he is
on the road with the mail and his atten-
ton would not be detracted from his
work.
He is a faithful carrier, and if the re-
turn letter is not ready when he thinks
it should be he will start without it,
covering the distance from B%ryantville
to this town at a better rate of speed
than the majority of horses.-Brockton

Ramie Fiber for Pipes.

Steam pipes are made of ramie fiber.
hardened under tremendous hydraulic
pressure, and possessing a tensile strength
equal to two and one-half times that of
steel. The ramie fiber, or China grass.
has the property of being unaffected by
moisture; it will not shrink nor swell, it
is a nonconductor of heat, it cannot
rust, and these features, together with
its great strength, are all desirable in
steam pipes, its utilization In this line
being regarded, therefore, as one of the
possibilities of the future.-New York

S~tylOgraphic Ink.

Not every one knows the difference
between stylographic ink and ordinary
black ink. The s~tylographic ink is
strained, SO that all the minute particles
which are found in ordinary ink are re-
moved and it will flow freely through
the point of the pen in which it is used.
This process of straining also renders it
valuable in households where careless
people are likely to spill ink, and where
children go away to school in white
aprons, too often returning from their
writing lessons ink begrimed. Style
graphic ink will wash out without diff
Guilty in clear cold water. 1t is the mi
mute particles of matter in unstrained
ink which become clogged in the fiber
of cloth and which render a stain from
it practically indelible.
There are a great many kinds of style
graphic ink, but we believe they all pos
sess this excellent quality of washing
out if taken care of at ouce Certainly
the first bleaching will bring out all
remnants of the stain in white goods
