Gallantry Among Amin a Is.

Farmers, and horsemen in general,
know that although a horse will
promptly attack any other horse that
may interfere: with him, either in the
field or in harness, he will very seldom
attack a mare. Farm horses which
cannot be worked alongside of any
other horse on account of their savage
temper, may be safely yoked in double
harness with a mare. It is not so gen.
orally known that dogs have this same
chivalrous trait. No self-respecting
dog will bite q female, except in the
most extreme need of self-defense.
though the female, as rule, has no
scruples whatever about Furnishing, to
to the full extent of her power, dog
of the opposite sex that happens to be
Inferior to her in size and strength
So strong is this unwillingness to fight
a female that few male hounds will
attack q she-wolf or even follow her
trail. " SSSEI E Nj. .S3,. Y. :,.e.. >

ABOUT SLEEP WALKERS.
How Two of Them Were Cured OF the
Habit Before 1t Had Become Un-
alterably Fixed.

Somnambulism is phenomenon
that has not been solved, either its
cause or cure, and the stories related
about sleep walkers are never ending.
Usually the eyes are wide open, but
it is frequently agreed that the SOM
nambulist cannot see at those times.
A gentleman relates that when he
was a young man an acquaintance
was badly given to the habit, and he
would often go out into the yard and
wander about. One night a number
of his friends lay in ambush for him
just to watch his operations. By and
by the door opened in a business-like
way and out came the young man.
He went straightway across the street
into lot where there was a nut tree
and proceeded to pick up nuts and
put them in a pile. A few moments
at this task, then he started toward
the house. In getting over the fence
he made a misstep and fell. THIS

usually could not awake sufficiently
to find his way to bed again, so one
or the other of his parents would
hear him crying and come to his res

of the bother and no one should be
blamed for what followed. AS stated,
the chamber was an unfinished one.

his mind, as well as his body-he was
near those barrels and it seemed had

stairs. The noise aroused the parents
and on this memorable occasion the
father visited the chamber and just
in time to save the lad from getting
through. He was on his hands and
knees pushing through and the op

The State Of Washington

Is known as the Evergreen State because
of its vast forests. Outside of the limited
areas Of BIG TREES in California. there are
no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce,
cedar. etc., as are found here. The trees
ars long and straight, and the massive tim
bers and fine shingles made from them are
shipped all over the world.
Washington Fruit is product of great
value. Its flavor and color are unsurpassed.
East Of the Cascade mountains, the climate
is dry and warm. and irrigation is neces-
sary. This makes the farmer independent
of rain West of the mountains irrigation
is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for
all purposes Canneries and fruit drying
establishments can be operated profitably
in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are
very profitable crops, and beet sugar is
rapidly making Roadway.
Washington is coming empire. Brains
are in demand in all professions, and labor
is wanted and is paid remunerative prices.
Fuel. coal as we'll as wood, is abundant and
cheap. Schools and churches abound the
state is we'll supplied with railways.
Varied attitudes and climates render this
country desirable place of residence, and
