Death GuIch.

A raviEe in the northeast corner OF
Yellowstone National park, in Wyo-
ming, is known by those living near by
as Death gulch. Grewsome as is the
name, it is exceedingly appropriate. 1t
is a V shaped trench cut in the noun
tainside and begins about $50 feet
above Cache creek. Apparently it
forms q natural shelter for the beasts
of the forest, as food water and shelter
are there, but entrance to the gulch
means death to any animal, for the
poisonous yapors that rise out of the
ravine are more deadly than the bullets
of the huntsmen.
For ages this death trap in the Rocky
mountains has probably been Turing the
inhabitants of the forest to their doom.
With the rains Of spring the bones Of
the dead of the preceding year are car
ried down to the creek and the gulch
cleared for the death harvest of the
summer and winter.
The biologists say that the lavas
which fill the ancient basin of the park
at this place rest upon the tanks of
mountains formed of fragmentary vol
canic elects. Gaseous emanations are
given out in great volume. These come,
the scientists say, from deposits Of al
tered and crystalline travertine mixed
with pools in the creek. Above these
deposits the creek cuts into bank of
sulphur. In the bottom of the gully is
a small stream sour with sulphuric
acid.
No wonder the poor animals seeking
shelter in the gulch meet death there.

The Celebrated ..Leaf Ant,

One Of the oldest little creatures in
all animal nature is the "leaf anti of
Central America. Although different
species Of this oddity are known to in
habit the American continent from
Brazil to Mexico, the real home Of the
true leaf ant is in Nicaragua. To all
outward appearances this little insect
Is a common ant, but one Of gigantic
size, it must be admitted, when COM
pared with the ants of our temperate
regions, being on an average over an
inch in length. The habit for which
these ants are so celebrated, and one
which we could hardly believe were it
not for the testimony of reputable nat
uralists, is that of carrying leaf for
a sunshade, just as our women and
men carry parasols and umbrellas for
the same purpose.
When at work, the leaf carrying ants
look like little army in which each
individual member is protected from
the suns rays by little banner Of
green. Another remarkable fact in con.
nection with the leaf carrier is that
only those at work carry the little leafy
protection. When long file of burden
bearers have deposited their budgets,
they discard their parasols and return
for load without the leaf which
made them such conspicuous objects
when on the up trip"

A Sit of Realism.

An instance of the way in which the
acting of play grows may be taken
from Ellen Terrys playing in mime.
Sans-Gene." In the play in question
the washerwoman duchess is having
lesson from professor of dancing.
The business Of the play requires her
to be awkward in her attempts at dane
ing, and the actress is awkward, de-
lightfully awkward. She has put on
long riding habit in order to become
accustomed to manipulate her court
train in the dance and is so much trou-'
bled with it that finally she tucks it
over her arm while she is learning tc
take the steps. The train keeps slip
ping off her arm and has to be perpetu-
ally replaced. and the episode is a cause
of much boiSterOus amusement.
One night in great English manu-
featuring city she was playing the part
with even more than her usual verve.
She was lost in the assumed character
SO thoroughly that it was real to her,
and the eX-washerwoman, with her
mind harassed and worried by the try
ing conditions of her artificial court
life, instinctively returned to the habits
of her youth. In a moment of abstrac-
ton, finding the fat coil of stuff across
her arm, she instinctively began to
wiring it out. The response Of the audi
ence was electrical. Every woman
and man-who had ever seen wash
tub recognized the sincerity of the ac-
ton. This moment of creative instinct
was recorded in the actress mind and
has been repeated ever since.-Cosmo-

to exercise. Being of playful nature
it started that day down long lane
at the bottom of which there was
high barbwire fence and the colt not
seeing it in time to turn ran full tilt
into the murderous barbs, tearing its
hide and flesh in a terrible manner.

20 Gauge His wife,. Temper.


II heard about peculiar case of hen
pecked husband recently" said young
woman the other day.
What was it?" her friend inquired.
There is man who has some diff
Guilty in gauging his wife's temper. At
times she is considerate of his welfare
and at other times-well, he rather
thinks that married life is failure.
He has peculiar manner of finding
out the state of his wife's feeling to-
ward him. In the evening when he re-
turns home from work he never steps
into the house without going through a
sort of ceremony. First he throws his
hat in the house, and then he seats
himself on the steps and waits. If five
minutes pass without the hat being
thrown out again, he enters and gener-
ally finds his wife very agreeable.
However, If the hat is thrown out
again the unfortunate man seeks hos
pitality for the night somewhere else
rather than brave the anger Of his help
meet. "-Cleveland Leader.

The Discount Fiena

There is probably no abuse which the
long suffering wholesale market has
had perpetrated upon it to such an ex-
tent as that for which the discount
fiend is responsible. Many apparently
reputable merchants who would scorn
the idea of dishonesty are at the same
time often guilty of taking an extra 20
days discount on bills which have
passed their maturity. But this is not
all Occasionally case comes to light
where the discount fiend goes SO far as
to deduct 10 per cent from ITO bill,
and if the firm in question sees fit to
return his check and ask for full set
tement the goods are shipped back and
the wholesaler told to whistle for re-
dress. -Bookkeeper.

S. D. Coonrod Passes Away.

| When we arrived at the Station
last Tuesday morning there was a
deep hush and our heart was saddened
by the announcement that Grandpa
5. ID. Coonrod was dead. For year
or more past he has been far from be-
ing we'll man but was able to be up
and about until last Wednesday when
he was stricken with paralysis or
some kindred disease. The neighbors
saw that the good mans life was sure
ly ebbing away and that the sands in
the hour glass of time were nearly
run out. His son, Will Coonrod, at
Coleridge, Nebraska, was sent for and
arrived in time to see his father alive
and to bid him last goodbye before
his spirit took its flight, which oc-
Cured on Monday night, ere the
dawning of another day, and was fer
ried across the dark waters of death
into the land where all is peace and
| joy and love.
| Grandpa was one of the most fa-
miliar figures and best known char
acters in the south part of the coun-
ty and was always found doing good
and OF the side of right. He was
always true disciple of the Metho-
dist church. When he came to Au-
dubon and settled where the hamlet
OF Old Hamlin stands this part of the
I county was sparsely settled and there
was no Methodist society closer than
Extra, but never wavering in his
faith he marched steadily on and
lived to see Methodist church spire
pointing heavenward only few rods
from the house where lie passed his
first days in Audubon county, with a
strong and growing congregation;
and from the edifice could stand and
count several other spires erected by
the different denominations. Tues
day morning they prepared the cas-
ket and at two o'clock in the after
noon a long line of carriages wound
its way from Grandpa's home at the
Station over the hills to the Metho-
dist church in Old Hamlin, where he
had worshipped in the days gone by
and where Rev. j. Wirth, the pastor,
said comforting words 10 the bereaved
widow and sorrowing son and then
the procession proceeded on it's way
to the Maple Grove Cemetery, up at
Audubon, where the remains were
laid to rest.
Seymour d. Coonrod was born in
Pickaway county, Ohio, October %,
1918, and died Aug. 26, 'Ol being near
ly SO years of age at the time of his
death. Father Coonrod first came to
Iowa IN 1899, returning to Ohio in
the spriug Of 1910. In the spring of
1872, in company with his brother he
again landed in Burlington, Iowa.
At the land sale he bought farm
north of that city. In 1s47 he mar
ried Ann Emory with whom he lived
happy married life for "a years.
They had one son, Will Coonrod
now residing near Coleridge, Nebras-
ka. Father Coonrod united with the
Methodist church in 1s47 and his
home was always the headquarters
for The pioneer preachers. He came
to Hamlin township, Audubon coun-
ty, in 1875 and all who know him
know that he proved himself to be,
while in this county, good citizen,
an exemplary Christian, an advocate
of temperance and good neighbor.
He leaves an aged widow, one son and
family and many friends to mourn
their loss, which, however, is his
eternal gain.

Analysing His Affection.

her.
