A public man must be a great reader Of
human nature. He must perforce know
men and take things "cum grano, " with
not too ELUSIVE belief in everything he
hears. The faith of the little boy at As

beautiful, but it might not work all too
successfully were he 70 become a famous
man later.

Various Kinds of Ladies',

The young husband had waited with
exemplary patience while his wife made
tour of inspection through the various
departments Of the store. He counted
the number of street cars that passed
and scanned the shopping public with
interest. Then he turned his attention
to the store windows and studied the
various bargains. When his wife came
out, she said in an apologize manner:
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting
SO long, my dear, but ! had to wait for
my change an endless time. Has it been
awfully stupid out here?'
'Oh, no." said the obliging husband,
"On the contrary, have learned that
there are many kinds Of women l never
dreamed Of"

she snapped.

The theory that the remains of ami
mails form the raw materials from which
petroleum is formed by nature is still
held by some prominent scientists. And
as to the manner in which the organic
substances of those animals became de-
composed DR.. Engler sets forth as a
primary starting point the fact that such
substances consists essentially of nitrog-
enated material and fat. the former cas-
lily decomposed, the latter very staple,
as has been well known for a long time
and demonstrated by exact investiga-
tons, examples in proof being the wax
OF cadavers in old graves, the fat in the
bones of mammals thousands of wears
old. and the fat on the bottom OF the
ocean recently found.
Whether and how the fat was de-
composed in this long period by the wa
ter splitting up glycerol and forming
the free acid-for instance, the fat in
the bones of mammals-cannot be an
swered, but both fat and the fatty
acids form petroleum when distilled
under pressure. One Of the many pos
sibilities cited by DR.. Engler. by which
the mechanical process Of the transmu-
tation of fat into petroleum may have
taken place, is that remains of the char
acter in question, wrapped in mud and
transported by the currents in the ocean,
easily accumulate, and, later on, under
the pressure of sedimentary layers or
strata-perhaps under the influence of
heat, too-are transformed into petro-
leum.-New York Sun.

The Early Astronomers.

The early astronomers were all astrol-
ogers and claimed to be able to predict
the future careers of various individuals
by casting horoscopes" showing the po-
sition of the planets at the time of their
birth. The position and movements of
the various celestial bodies We're not only
supposed to control the destinies of men,
but were also thought to bring veal or
woe, tempest or sunshine, upon the earth
itself. A man born when the sun was in
the constellation of Scorpio was believed
to be naturally bent toward excessive in
diligence of the animal passions. One
born when the sun was in Pisces was
predestined to grovel or be a servant,
while one whose earthly career was
opened when the great luminary was in
Aries would be great scholar and a
man known to the world despite all op-
posing inf1uences.-St. Louis Republic.

Intemperance Among Women.

There Is much said sbout the growing habit o,

LANGUAGE OF A DOG
lew the Csnane Dictionary Was Evolved
From His Tail.

ASs~ the CaM1no Dictionary Was Evolved
From His Tail.
In the case of all hunting dogs. such
as fox hounds or wolves, which mack to-
gether, the tail is carried aloft and is
very free in movement. 1t is frequently
rendered more conspicuous by the tin
Delng white, and this is almost invari-
ably the case when the hounds are mixed
color. When ranging the long grass of
the prairie or jungle, the raised tins of
the tails would often be all that an indi-
vldual member of the band would see of
Its fellows. There is no doubt that
hounds habitually watch the tails of
those IN front of them when drawing q
covert.
If a faint drag is detected suggestive
OF the presence Of the fox, but scarcely
sufficient to be sworn to vocallv. the tail
OF the finder is at once set in motion. and
the warmer the scent the quicker does it
wag. Others, seeing the signal. instantly
JON the first, and there is an assemblace
OF waving tails before even the least
whlmper is heard. Should the drag
prove doubtful one, the hounds sepa
II 1t grows stronger when followed ND
the wagging becomes more and more
emphatic until one after another the
hounds begin to whine and give tongue
and stream off in Indian file along the
line OF scent. When the pack is in full
cry upon strong scent, the tails cease
to wave, but are carried aloft in full
view.
The moment when the dog most en-
joys life is the moment when he sights
game. That moment is the time when
he ways his tail most vigorously in order
to announce his discovery to his fellow
dogs. In this way, by the habit of asso-
cation, he got to wagsing his tail when
ever he was pleased. and the more pleased
he is the more vigorously he wags his
tail, so that the wagging of a dogs tail
under pleasurable emotion can be traced
directly to the time when the dog used
his tail as signal of the discovery of his
prey.-Contemporary Review.

GONE TO HER REWARD.


Mrs. McRoberts, a Beloved Woman of Coe,
Passes Away.
PORT BYRON, July 31.-Death has
again called one of Rock Island coun-
tvs early settlers to her eternal home.
Yesterday at 4:45 p. m. Mrs. Eliza
beth McRoberts nee Allcot, beloved
wife Of William McRoberts, Sr., died
at her home in Coe town. She was
born in Manchester, England, Aug.
8. 1927. and was therefore &c wears,
IL months and 90 days old at the
time OF her death. She came to this
country when IS years old with her
parents. She was married to Mr..
McRoberts Nov. 10. 1858, and came
to Coe town in 1857, where she has
resided ever since. There were nine
children, of whom eight survive with
the husband to mourn the loss of a
good mother: Mary, William, Dr..
James. Emma B., Frank L., Edward
g., John W., and George 1. Annie
died in infancy.
A Noble Woman.
She was a true christian WON
an, and it can be truly said that new
er was christian resignation, in her
two years illness, more truly mani
tested than by her. No complaint
passed her lips, and even to the last
she was only solicitous about the
welfare of her family. A true wom-
an, the best of mothers and kindest of
nighbors has gone to her reward, and
while all coincidence will not drv a
single tear, still the family have the
heartfelt sympathy OF the entire COM
munity

A Pretty Event at Lake Crystal This
Evening.

AT SPIN Tuesday, in Lake Crystal,
Miss L. Addy Read and w. III. Roberts
will be united in marriage at the home
of Dan Owens by Rev. u. d. Foot.
The affair has been kept a profound
secret, except among few of the
most intimate friends and relatives,
until the past few days. The same
air of unostentation which has per-
vaded the coming ceremony will pre-,
vail tonight for only a few of the
nearest friends are to be invited.
Mr. Roberts is one Of the most popu-
lar young business men in Lake
Crystal. He has been in the general
merchandise business in the little city
for the past four years, and numbers
his friends by the hundred.
Miss Read is a graduate of one of
the Iowa State Musical colleges at

circle who now wish for her every hap

directed Queen Of Thebes chances out
of the window and cries "See!IxiOnr'
They rush to the window to see what
she means and behold man on a BIZ
cycle, whom she has associated with
lXiOn, the man on the wheel. The
name of the modern IXion is legion,
and complete census of Wheelmen
would develop surprising results. The
same thing would happen if an at
tempt were made to take the census
of those who patronize the Saint Paul
s. Duluth Railroad, for the Duluth
Short Line, as this artery Of travel is
generally known, is the popular route
always with those who desire to ride
between the healthy twins of the big
| Northwest-St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and West Superior. Progress
| SiveneSS and an eye to the comfort of
patrons is responsible for this excep-
tional popularity, which is so wide
spread and well-founded. The latest
and luxurious cars make up it's fast
trains, which are run smoothly and
rapidly at handy hours between the
handsomest and most finely appointed
of modern terminals, so that the IA
cilities and service appeal strongly
and effectivly to the majority of
travellers. The line runs through a

OR MONEY LOANED.

Mr.. Clark states that he will either
take down the sign or cash no more
drafts or checks.

cards upon which were printed his
name as a member of the firm. He is
described as being about IS years of

pleXioned, and wearing dark NOUS
tache.
He is believed to be in the Twin
Cities today, and the police have been
notified to keep lookout for him.
There is poor prospect, however, of
bringing him to justice. He is evil
IDENTIFY shrewd forger, for he was
smart enough to make the checks
small and cause little inquiry or suspi-
cion.
County Attorney Benedict at noon
today made out the necessary court
papers for the fugitive, and Chief of
Police Yates will leave this evening
for st. Paul in the effort to capture
his man.
The penalty for forgery in the sec
Ond degree is imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than two nor
more than five years.

NO MORE DOGS.
r. ID. Hubbard Beats the Canine
Game For Mutton.

r. d. Hubbard today received car
load of sheep which he will at once
put to feed on his ranch a mile north
of town. He will receive car of
lambs in few days and expects a good
crop of mutton and free wool when
the frost is on the pumpkin.
Last year sundry taxed and untaxed
CANNES broke through the fence that
surrounds the pasture and there
were some equity dogs in
that vicinity, while the CANNES
of royal blood down town had to be
satisfied with platter of Coxey hash.
This emergency has now been well
provided for with barb wire around
the top of the fence, and the Mr..
Dog who undertakes to crawl over the
outposts will be impaled as a punish
ment, and by the time he has picked
the steel slivers from his downy
coat, his appetite will be more easily
satisfied with the meat of other ami
mails.
