One of the most curious traits to be

unconscious imitativeness Of creatures

many Instances Of where the creatures

One might know. for instance, the beg

very nature of the animal. The beg
CARS dog never looks cheerful, never
smiles. never frolics. but simply sits
by his master and broods and begs for
whatever charity may give.
I have seen the dog character nodded
under happier Influences and the dog

WHO come within these unhappy clas-

A Haneit to Farmers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent lncor-
poratIon of the International Harvester
Company which took over the business
Of the Ave leading harvester manufac-
turers have probably not been consid'
cred by a large portion Of the farming
community.
The economical necessity Of a console
idatlon Of the interests of manufactur-
ers and those OF their farmer CUSTOM
ers must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and increasing cost OF
material. manufacturing and selling
the latter In consequence OF extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
facturers and their sew eral selling agents
has nude the business Improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufa cturers were either the increas-
ing Of the prices Of machines or the re-
ductlon Of the cost of manufacture and
sales. The latter could only be accom-.
plished by concentrating the business
in one company.
As can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centering OF
mutual interests. There Is no watered
stock; the capitaliza ton is cOnserva-
tive and represented by actual and tan
gible assets There is no stock offered
to the public. it having all been sub.
scribed and paid for by the manufac-
turers and their associates.
The management Of the International
Harvester Company is in the hands Of
well known, experienced men.
The officers are: President. Cyrus H.
Mccormick; Chairman Executive Com
mittee, Charles Deering; Chairman FL
nance Committee. George w. Perkins:
vice-Presidents, Harold r. Mccormick.
James Deering, VIM. II. Jones and John
]. Glessner. Secretary and Treasurer.
Richard F. Howe. The members Of the
Board Of Directors are as follows: Cy.

not be otherwise than beneficial to the

How Rowing Originated.

In primitive time, before mankind
wore clothes, when two persons met
the stronger knocked the weaker
down.
After the passage of several thou.
sand years the weak of the world dis.
covered that IT, on coming upon the
strong, they threw themselves upon
the ground they escaped that way
heavy blows. Therefore. that Is what
they began to do. .
The strong were pleased, and their
manner softened toward the weak.
They permitted these unfortunate per-
sons to moderate their voluntary falls.
The weak, instead of hurting them
selves violently to the soil, were al
lowed simply to bend toward 1t.
And then the bow was born. Its
age is many thousands of years great
er than that of the handshake.
