Though their toes are webbed, they
can climb, dig, run, have sharp teeth

In times Of famine offers have been

but have to be taught how to swim
by their anxious parents.
Offers are very amiable and make
good pets. In disposition they are
something between kitten and a
dachshund. and the only complaints
against them are that they Will not sit
still nor go to sleep like dog or cat
and that when once they get into the
water Ii is hard to make them come
out.
The speed Of an otter under water
is amazing. Fish have no chance
against him. In some places in India
offers are kept by the natives to fish
for them. They are tied up to stakes
like dogs when not working, wear
plated straw collars and seem happy.

In a pretty Wisconsin town not far
from Milwaukee there Is "spite
fence" which tells it's own story to all
the world. 1t is high and tight board
affair and cuts Off a view across a
number of beautiful lawns. The man
who lives on one side of it evidently
feared that the fence would bring down
on his head the condemnation Of his
neighbors. Not wishing to be unjustly
blamed, he has therefore painted on
his side of the fence in letters that can
be read a block away these words:
"He built this fence. didn't do it."
The man on the other side also had
no idea of letting a false impression
get out. Accordingly he has painted
on the other side of the high barrier:

True BenevoIence.

The benevolence Of John Wesley
was certainly not of the kind which
cost no self-denial. When his income
was but $50 year he gave away $40.
The next year. receiving $780, he still
only spent $40 on himself and gave
away the remainder. The following
year he received $3.50 and of this he
bestowed $40 on the poor. In the
course Of fifty years he gave away
more than $1J0.O00

HATCHERY SITE SELECTED
GAME COMMISSIONER SHARP
MAKES CHOICE.
Picks Out Tract of Land In Big
Cottonwood Canyon, Eight Miles
From the City.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
John Sharp has selected a site for the
new fish hatchery, for which provision
was made by the last legislature. On
behalf of the state, Mr.. Sharp has pur-
chased five and three-quarters acres Of
land in Big Cottonwood canyon, eight
miles from the city. and a mile and a
half from the southern terminus of the
Murray street car line.
The commissioner considers the site
an ideal one. There is plenty of water
on the land for all his purposes, and
as soon as an investigation of the title
he is now conducting is concluded,
deed to the property will pass. The
property IS at present owned by James
J.. Walker. and Mr.. Sharp has agreed
to pay $1,000 for it. in case the title is
clear
This will leave a balance from the
legislative appropriation sufficient to
cover the cost of putting in the hatch
cry and starting the work for which
it is intended in earnest. This will be
done as soon as practicable, and by
early spring Mr.. Sharp expects to have
the hatchery in full operation.
