A Double Gopher.


DR.. T. B. Hannah of Umatilla
who is attending the State Dental
association, brought to our office
today a curiosity in the shape OF
a small gopher with two distinct
and perfectly developed heads
protruding from either corner OF
the broad front of the she'll, be-
tween the heads is large leg
with two feet on the end. The
animal has four other legs max
ing five legs-.and six feet. The
little monster. eats and drinks
greedily from both heads, its dl-
gestive organs are separate and
the sense of feeling of one head
does not cxtendto the other. The
heads are as perfect as those OF
two ordinary gophers. The shell
i'm front resembles two, one Tapped
under the other, but in the rear
they Join into one. DR.. Hannah
has had the curiosity SIX months
and it gives promise of reaching
maturity.

Madame Sarah Grand has published no
book OF importance since "The Heavenly
Twins. She has spent her time In work
upon new novel, which will be her most
important literary undertaking. Her new
novel traces the development Of a woman Of
genius from her girlhood to her marriage.
II Is described as most subtle and extraor-
binary study of woman's psychological evo-
lution, while the book as story is said to
be characterized by an abundance Of de-
iightful humor and incident. 1t is supposed
IN England that the story is largely auto
biographical. 1t is stated that no book of
recent years has been written with more
care and in England the publication is
awaited with intense interest. Messrs. D.
Appleton & Co. will publish Madame Grand's
new novel probably about Nov. 1.
