Dogs and Woodchucks.

To show that dogs have the power to
ntercommunicate ideaS-the power of
converse tion-allow me to tell a story
which came to me from a Mr.. Wood
ruff, Of this State. There We're two
dogs at summer hotel in the Catskill
Mountains. They were once noticed to
chase a WOOdchuck into hole. 70 this
hole there were two openings-one on
each side of stone fence. The dogs
saw the two openings, and each Of them
took one and began digging. Because
the day was hot and the work hard, be-
cause they saw that the stony charac-
ter of the ground would not allow the
sufficient enlarging of his opening to
let the larger dog in, or for some other
reason, the dogs simultaneously quit
digging and met in consultation on the
wall. When their plan was completed
the smaller dog, who had sufficiently
enlarged the opening at which he had
been working for the admission of his
body, entered, While the larger dog
took his station at the other opening.
What took place in the hole l do not
know All that 1 know (on the very
best evidence) is that the woodchuck
soon appeared at the larger dogs open
ing, was nabbed, dispatched, and the
two dogs had great feast.
AS to how these dogs carried on their
conversation 1 can not say, but that
they did so there can be no doubt
They formulated plan. Their knowl-
,Jrr ,,lo Nl,oi,
snouts We're together as they talked on
the wall. Their interchange of ideas
may have been telepnthic, if there be
such a thing as telepathy, Of which
am not sure.

over the smooth roads about Hawar-
den Castle on a swift-fying wheel CT
the latest approved pattern.
Where is there to be found another
man of his age who would not totter in
palsied dread at the mere thought of
such youthful athletic revelry. Indeed
there are few men at half his age who
would not declare against the sport rs
one that they had far outgrown in
years. so that apart from the fact that
a man of Gladstone's worldwide fame
has taken to cycling, it is really mar
velous performance for one so old. The
great diplomat has fallen under the
magic spell OF the bicycle and is now
an enthusiastic supporter of the fad.
No more the long walk up hill and
down dale, for which he is celebrated.
No more the vigorous use Of the keen
edged ak on some fallen tree trunk.
The bicycle has replaced both as a
means of outdoor exercise And in the
latter game he may be looked to excel,
for at either Of the former tasks he

His Face the Sole Guide.

Policeman Thomas F. Harrigan is
one of the most conspicuous Of the
splendid force Of bluecoats that protect
pedestrians and straighten out the
traffic tangles on Broadway, New
York. Some time ago I noticed a pass
er-by take a snap shot at him with his
camera. A few days ago there arrived
at the New York postoffice letter
with only a photograph for an address.
The officials were puzzled, but the let
ter was handed around among the car
riers. One Of them recognized the pic
ture.

And so the letter was delivered. The

The President and His Salary

81 shall not attempt to answer the
question, How much of his salary does
the President expend?" writes EXPIRES
ident Harrison in an article in the La
dies Home Journal, on 'The Social
Life Of the President" But those who
think he can live at his ease after his
retirement on the income from his say
ings should take account Of several
things: First that the net income from
safe investments does not exceed per
cent; second, that the amount invested
in a home yields no, income; and,
third, that he must have private sec
retary, for his mail will be so large
that he cannot deal with it himself. A
dents who had lost all Of his means
told me that it was pathetic to see his
father, who was in i'll health, laboring
beyond his strength to answer the let
ters that came to him. But if the Presi-
dent retains fair measure Of health
he will take care of himself. If he was
ever capable of directing the affairs of
the nation he may be trusted to admin
lister his own business; and if he has
won the esteem of his fellow-citizens,
and has rightly valued it, he will not
barter it for riches. To any vocation
from which a man may be suitably
called to the Presidency he may suit

shown by the records of the patent Of
fee. exercise much ingenuity in try
Ing to improve on the common, every
day match. Not least interesting is a
spherical match-a little ball Of wood
pulp covered with phosphorus compo-
sition. In using it a holder is required,
inasmuch as there is no stick. the ig-

been patented, the stick being dipped
in oil of cassia. OF course, there are
ever so many odd sorts Of ma atches actu-
ally in use to-day-as, for example, the
wax matches, which are employed in
Europe to an extent vastly greater
than in this country. Most of the wax
matches are manufactured in Italy and
Great Britain. They are made by
drawing strands of fine cotton thread,

ing them through perforated iron
plates. 1t then remains only to cut
them into proper lengths and dip them
into an igniting composition.
1t is an odd fact that even at the pres.
ent day patents are sought for pipe
lighting contrivances in which flint and
steel are utilized with mechanical mod
itications. It is probable that citizens
Of the United States use more matches
than any other people in the world.
Every man. woman and child in this
country, taking the average, consumes
eight matches every day in the year.

n N ISIS ANNIE ROSSNIAN is be-
IV| ing treated at the Arapahoe
AVA County Hospital in Denver af-
ter having broken the record in SOM
nambulism. During her excursions
while asleep she has been rescued from
injury or death by the police more
than $50 times. Bolts, bars, handouts
and chains have all failed to keep her
within her room, and clad in a night
gown she has roamed the streets Of
Denver night after night.
Everything possible was done to cure
the young woman, but to no purpose
until she was placed in the hospital.
There she has been watched by an
attendant, and cold water has been
thrown in her face every time she has
sought to leave her bed or escape. This
plan seems to be proving eff1cacious,
and for the present at least her Sleep
walking career has been closed.
Many methods have been unsuccess-
fully adopted to restrain her from her
nocturnal excursions. The windows of
her room have been locked and the KEY
to the door hidden, but to no purpose.
At other times she has been tied in her
bed. In releasing herself she has ex-
hibited the skill of the conjurer, for no
knot could be tied that she was unable
to loosen. Handouts have been at
tached to her wrists and then chained
to the bed, but her hands slipped
through the rings in her sleep in a
fashion that she could not explain
when she awoke. At another time the
key to her room was placed at the bot
tom of barrel of water, but she Sc
cured the key, and the contact with the
chilled fluid did not awaken her.
About the only instance when she
distinctly remembered having a pur-
pose in view was the time when she
was found seated on a letter box with
her arm around the lampost, when she
declared she had believed herself to be
seated on a rail at the theater with her
arm about one Of the supporting pill
lars.
One Of the most narrow escapes she
has had was on the occasion of trip
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1897-05-07

on which she started to North Denver.
She reached the bridge which crosses
Cherry Greek, but instead Of crossing
the structure made her way down by
it's side, and apparently was going to
walk through the water 1t so hap
pened that the creek was not booming
to any great extent just then, and a
policeman happened to see her action
and rescued her from drowning. Even
the shock Of the water did not fairly
waken her, and it was several mo-
ments after her rescue before she en-
tirely regained consciousness.
1t has always happened that when
ever Miss Rossman has left her room
and home at night on one Of these
sleepwalking trips she has never stop
ped to don any clothing besides the
nightgown and has been guiltless Of
shoes or stockings. Just how she could
so often make her way about Denvers
streets in this costume unobserved is
a matter of almost as much mystery
as the real cause of the aff1iction which
has rendered her miserable for eight
years. ...
One night she left her home about
midnight and wandered down 21st to
Curtis street. When in front of the
Curtis street hosehouse, a cable car
came upon her unexpectedly, and she
was knocked down and to one side, en-
tirely escaping injury except a few
slight bruises.
Once she walked from her home to
the Union railway station. This time,
however, she had lain down without
removing her clothing, and SO attract
ed less attention. She sat in the sta
tion awhile, where her peculiar actions
We're noted, but there was no suspicion
that she was asleep. Finally she went
to the ticket agents window and
bought a ticket for Cheyenne. Then
she left the tracks, diyssted herself Of
most of her clothing and walked up the
track toward the approaching train.
Fortunately the engineer saw her in
time 70 stop before he reached her, al
though she was walking toward the
locomotive all the time.

Again she made her way down to
10Th street early in the morning, when
there were heavy wagons passing up
the street, and calmly walked in front
Of one of the largest that was going
west at a lively gait. The driver saw
her and pulled up his horses, but she
would certainly have been badly in
jured had not policeman seen her just
in time and pulled her fairly from be-
meath the horses feet. She was not
even scratched.
Once she attempted to leave her
room, in the third story Of her home,
via the window. She crept through the
window, having raised the lower sash,
and, grasping the sill with both hands,
swung herself out. AS fortune would
have it policeman happened to be
passing aud saw what she had DONE
He made his way into the house, rush
ed up the stairs, broke in the door of
her room, and seizing her by the wrists
pulled her back.
Another of her experiences was the
first and only time she gave an eXhi-
bition of dancing on the street. That
evening, to the amazement of several
children and two or three pedestrians,
she began a series of movements very
like the double shuttle of a negro min
strel. No officer CHANGED to be near,
and no one interfered. On one of her
trips, she apparently imagined herself
to be lineman, for she climbed a tele-
graph pole and had succeeded in max
ing her way well toward the top be-
fore she was discovered. She was rest
ing near the top Of the pole when po-
licemen happened to see her. Here
was a quandary. If any one shouted
to her, she might awake and fall to the
ground. The officer could not climb
the pole. Finally ladder was procur-
ed from neighboring fire engine house
and placed against the pole. A stall
wart fireman mounted it and q mo-
ment later had Miss Rossman in his
arms. She awakened almost instantly
and in terrible fright. She was taken
home and was prostrated by the shock
for several days.
