Space Has q Value.
From the Chester (Pa } Ti1nes.l

Some people act as if they think it
does not cost anything to put line of
type in a newspaper. 1t does, though,
and If for the benefit of an individual,
he should be willing to pay for it..
If no one else pays for it, the owner of
the newspaper does. Space in news
pape is the owners stock in trade.
He can no more afford to give it away
than a grocer his groceries, or haber-
his bakeries, or an FISHERMAN his
oysters. He has it for rent, and he
can no more afford to furnish it free
than a landlord can furnish rent free.

a Skeleton Encysted IN a Tree.
From the St. Louis Republic.l

From the St. Louis Republic.l
A most remarkable discovery has
been made at Paducah, KY. by some
laborers employed on the farm of
County Surveyor W. S. Gholson. A
poplar tree five feet in diameter was
sawed down, and in the hollow of it
a human skeleton was found in per-
feet preservation. The tree, to all
appearances, was .erfeetly sound, ex-
cept about seven feet above the
ground was notch, as if the tree
had once been chopped into, but the
cavity had grown over. The placing
OF the skeleton in the tree is suppos-
ed to have been the work of the
Indians.

Horses, itappears, are taking kind
ly to spectacles. The Optician,
which has made special investiga
ton into the subject. gives the case
of shortsighted horse whose owner
ordered for him pair of sIectacles.
Tney were made to fasten firmly into
the head stall, so that they could
not be shaken out of place a first
the animal appeared startled by this
addition to his harness, but he soon
got used to his glasses and liked
them so much that when he was
turned out to pasture he felt uneasy
and uncomfortable without his Cog
giles. and one Sunday hung around
the barn and whinnied so plaintivelv
that the owner put the head stall
and goggles on him, and the horse
was so glad that herubbed the man s
shoulder with his nose as the only
method of return-thanks. Dogs who
suffer from shortsightedness have al
SO been provided with spectaces, and
have been able thereby to recognize
their canine acquaintance much
farther off than before. If the sys-
tenn is not carried much further no
great harm will be done, but suppose
''uppish' horses and dogs insist up
on discarding goggles for the pince
nez or even the mOnOcle. Puppies
in eyeglasses would be intolerable.

The nron,Sey,s Thumb.

Here is little bit of natural history
which must be remembered about mon
keys. All the monkeys of the old world
have some kind of thumb. AS Mr.. st.
George Mivart. great zoologist writes,
"Any old world monkey with a rudi-
mentary thumb (that is, q thumb even
if imperfecO is superior in that respect
to an American monkey" In fact the
American monkey has no thumb at all.
Nature compensates in q measure for
this defect in our new world monkey by
giving him wonderful tail This Amer
ican monkey tail is prehensile. 1t an
swers almost the purpose of fifth
limb. A South American monkey gives
his tail single hitch around the limb of
a tree, and there he hangs quite com
fortably, independent of hands or feet.

Fence Ninety Mile. Long.

During former years considerable
trouble has been caused by cattle be-
longing to white stockmen straying
ncross the limo to the Indian reserva-
lions. Particularly has this been the
case in the extreme western portion of
the ceded Sioux lands. There are tens
of thousands of head of stock in that Sec
ton, and notwithstandiry the efforts of
stockmen to prevent straying on
the Indian land, large numbers of cattle
are each year taken up as estrays on the
reservation BY the Indians, and they al
ways insist upon receiving good pay for
their trouble before turning tho cattle
over to their white owners. This fire.
quently causes much troublsand bitter
ness between the Indians and stockmen.
and if not remedied would in time result
In serious trouble.
To prevent the possibility of trouble,
Agent Brown of Pine Ridge called
meeting of all stockmen with herds in
that section and made a proposition to
them that the government would furnish
wires and posts for inclosing the western
and northern sides of the reservation II
the stoclmen and ranchmen residing on
the border would construct q durable
4-wire fence. The proposition was con-
sidered fair one, and fence will un-
doubtedly be built. This miniature Chi
nese wall will be about 90 miles in length.
