oner of the poor little raccoon. For a
time the little captive bore his i'm
prisonment very sullen1y; but good
food and kind treatment. soon
changed his wild, shy nature into 4
spirit of love and confidence. When
he had attained full size his appear
ance was between that of a fox and
bear, on a smaller scale, Of course.
For the benefit of our girls and
boys interested in nature, our friend,
Mr. D. A. Sterling, sends photograph
OF this pretty and intelligent little
animal climbing up the big limb of q
tree.
In the wild state the raccoon always
conducts himself like q perfect little
gentleman. His favorite feeding
grounds are along the shady banks
of streams, or in some swampy bit Of
woods, where can be found those large
delicious frogs he loves SO well. He
has, however, no scruples against go-
ing out into the fields and orchards
in search of nuts, fruits and green
corn; and, moreover, when Dame For
tune puts nice fat poultry in his way
Mr.. Raccoon is too much of a gentle
man to refuse them, which often gets
him into trouble with the farmer. He
also eats mice, rats, insects, eggs-in
fact is almost omnivorous. He is ac-
tive day and night.
A curious and interesting habit Of
raccoons is that Of washing all their
food in water. It matters not wheth.
er they have an ear of corn, nice
clean berry or a big fat bug, they
will always seek a little pool of wa
ter and carefully dip the object in it
several times before conveying it to
their mouth.st. Nicholas.

One of the eceentricities of Sir John
Lubbock. who was recently raised to
the peerage, is his fondness for live
insects as pests. He once made a IA
yorite Of a wasp he caught in Spain,
and the insect grew 50 fond of him
that it would lie still IN his hand to be

Did you ever feel good and lazy on an
afternoon in spring? Did You ever feel
that languor of ease and warmth and
sunshine that comes only in the month
of May. When the breeze just thrills
the NAPLES and the bright green grasses
wave and the birds are singing their
little throats to pieces from pure Joy.
did you ever look about you and won
der why man is about the only thing in
the universe that has to toll and worry
and did you ever stop to wonder if it
was all worth the worrying about.
Man is the lord of creation, so we fond
ly tell ourselves, but there is certain
'noblesse oblige' about it all that
grows irksome in the spring. That is
the way we feel about it today and the
foreman feels the same way for he is
yawning and the devil is looking out of
the window and wondering what that
rooster in the alley is growing about,
and the men down the street feel that
way for they are lounging about and
looking with scant courtesy at the Gus.

FUNNY. ISN'T l12

When the REVIEW started its semi
weekly editions the Bulletin laughed at
the idea, said a weekly was all kinds of
things better than twice a-week paper
and soon after it too became a semi
weekly and then it pulled up and said
how greatly it had improved. Now the
Bulletin finds it cannot make it pay and
so 1T decides for its readers that semi
weekly is a bad thing for the summer
months. If the Bulletin should cease
publication altogether we presume its
editor would blow about what bless
ing it had conferred upon its readers,
and it would be about right too. While
the REVIEW is a semi-weekly it will be
one and don't you forget it. There is
about as much sense in leaving out half
your issues as their would be in city
daily running but every other day dur
ing the summer. The Bulletin has its
annual case of summer complaint a
little earlier than usual, that is all.

good news this morning that Denison

the receipts of the Office amounted to
more than eight thousand dollars for
the year ending March 81, 1900. This
means number of changes in the pos

be employed by the government for

we're here, but the increase has been
kept up right along and goes to prove
that Denison has gotten into the rank
of I'd class offices for keeps. The fact
that it is the only Office of this class be-
tween Boone and Council Bluffs, is a
source of pride to Denison people.
There are only about thirty I'd class

The finance committee of the log roll
ing fund got down to business this
week and they are making an active
canvass of the lodge members. So far
over twenty-five $500 subscriptions
have been received. Every Woodman
will be invited to contribute and after
the lodge has shown its good faith the
business men will be asked for aid.
Our people seem to be thoroughly
aware of the fact that this will be one
of the biggest events of Denison's his
tory. Not only are many Woodmen
expected from such places as Boone,
Council Bluffs, Omaha, Logan and
Sioux City but the people of the sur
rounding country are invited TO come
and witness the merry making. AL
though the fund has good start, much
more is needed in order to carry out
the plans Of the committees in charge.
The lodge members are certainly re-
spending nobly to the call and if they
receive the cordial support they should
have from others there can be no doubt
of success. So look cheerful when the
solicitor comes round for everyone loves

DIED..

On Thursday, May 10, occurred the
death of Miss Maggie Mcintosh, the
bright and winsome daughter of Mrs.
Malinda Mcintosh of this city. The
deceased was born in Gallands Grove,
Shelby county. Iowa, on December 20,
1875, but had spent the greater part of
her life in this county where she was
known as a successful and ambitious
teacher. Nearly year ago she went
west to the home of her sister, Mrs
Hodges, in Utah, where she taught
She returned to Denison last February
and was soon stricken with an illness
which proved fatal. She leaves two
sisters and two brothers, John and
Steven D., both residents of Denison to
mourn her untimely death. The re.
mains were taken this morning to Gal.
lands Grove and the funeral occurs
this afternoon. Miss Mcintosh was a
member of the Latter Day Saints
church and was consistent follower
of Its teachings.
We grieve with her loved ones over
the death of one whose life was so full
of promise and hope. The members of
the family wish the REVIEW to thus
publicly express their thanks to the
many kind friends and neighbors who
by their sympathy and helpfullness
have aided them in this, their hour Of
sorrow.
