HE LOVED ANIMALS
LANDsEER's CHARACTERISTICS.
Great English Painter Was on Inti
mate Terms With the Animals
He Painted,

Conrad Cooke, the son of distin-
guished English painter. says he used
to hold the paper while Sir Edwin
Landseer drew one animal with his
right hand and different animal with
his left, writes j. A. Manson in Sir
Edwin Landseer, r. A" This species
of dexterity comes from practice, no
doubt, and is akin to the adroit ma
nipulation of the accomplished pian-
ist, but Is nevertheless extraordinary,
and several cases are recorded in
which Sir Edwin fairly astounded the
onlookers by such displays of manual
skill. Two instances of well-applied
facility are related by Vernon Heath.
Once while staying at Arlington
house. Robert Vernon's place near
Vantage, Landseer consented to go to
church. At luncheon he was asked who
had preached. Really, ! don't know.
but 1t was someone like this" and he
sketched the priest in a few adroit
strokes. why, that's Mr.. Blank"
said Vernon Heath. His living Is
nine miles off and l don't think he has
ever preached here before. | know
him only from seeing him at a meet of
the old Berkshires. But that's the
man, sure enough" AT Arlington a
billiard table stood in the hall and one
across to the blackboard which screened
the crate and drew upon it in chalk
a life-sized head of royal stag.
When Mr.. Vernon saw it he was so
enchanted that he had a sheet of
plate glass placed over the board.
which he forbade being taken to the
hall any more.
An intimate friend of his gave
most instructive account of Landseer's
ways with animals. He had a strong
feeling" she wrote. against the way
some, dogs are tied up; only allowed
their freedom now and then. He used
to say a man would fare better tied
up than a dog because the former can
take his coat off. but a dog lives in his
forever. He declared a tied-up dog
without daily exercise goes mad or
dies in three years. His wonderful
power over dogs is well known. An
illustrious lady twhom we shall ven-
ture upon Identifying as Queen Vic
toria) asked him how it was that he
gained this knowledge. BY peeping
into their hearts, ma am was his an
swer. remember once being wonder
fully struck with the mesmeric attrac-
tions he possessed with them. A largo
party of his friends were with him at
his house in St. Johns Wood; his SER
want opened the door. three or four
dogs rushed in, one n ierce-looklng
mastiff. The ladies recoiled, but there
was no fear; the creature bounded up
to Landsccr, treated him like an old
friend, with most expansive demon
strations of delight. Someone remark
ing how fond the dog seemed of him,
he said: Il never saw it before in my
life."

WHY GIRLS PREFER THE SHOP
They Have Greater Freedom Than in
Domestic Employment.

The Labor Bureau of the state of
Wisconsin has been Investigating the
subject of feminine labor and collect
ing reasons why girls prefer work in
factories and stores to household SER
vice. Inquiries were sent to 169 per-
sons. Among the answers were these:
If ladies' would only give girls bet
ter rooms, kinder treatment and
warmer beds and let them live indie
pendently more girls would do house
work.
l love housework, but. like host
of other girls, refuse to do it under
present conditions.
The reason | won't do housework
is because l will not be treated like
half slave and always a nobody.
None of the girls l know would do
housework because a girl who does
it is always looked upon as kitchen
drudge, always on duty and seldom
treated justly.
l am treated better in the factory
in every way and. besides, l am no
longer obliged to entertain in the
kitchen or receive my friends at the
back door, since l can live at homo
with my own people.

Denver. Nov. 30.-In his annual re-
port to the state engineer. submitted
yesterday, Superintendent Armstrong
of irrigation division No. / says the
scarcity of water resulted In bringing
up questions never before thought Of.
and that the drought was II fruitful
propagator of litigation, as well ms an
injury to farming interests. Concern
ing the injunction method of getting
water which he calls trick" the su-
perintendent says:
at Is becoming understood that the
value of water for irrigation is very
much above the price that has been
set upon it, consequently the very best
legal talent is being employed to Sc
cure the right TO use the water by jun
ior appropriations. very often To the In
Jury of older and senior appropriations.
A favorable procedure in this line OF
action is in obtaining the issuance
from the county courts of wit
of temporary Injunction, restraining
the officers of the irrigation depart
ment from enforcing the laws made
and provided for the proper distribu-
ton of water for irrigation purposes.
Especially is this true where the inter
ests of one irrigation district come into
conflict with those of another
.'This office has been seriously EN-
barrassed in the performance of It's
duties by this trick. for it is trick,
although II legal one, whereby canal
company, or district, can hold the WA
ter to which it is not entitled for II
period of time and, when n hearing Is
had, ask for n dismissal OF complaint
and the dissolution of the Injunction
on payment of costs, which they can
well afford to pay. | would suggest
that something be done to remedy
this, either by the coming Legislature
or by n ruling of the Supreme Court on

"The health of the army has shown
a continued improvement. The deaths
from all causes during the calendar

and of mean strength as against 22.Ii
per thousand of mean strength during
the calendar year 1900. This large re-
duction of death rate was in 4 great
measure due to improved conditions in

Referring to the operation of sec

which prohibits the sale OF beer and
light wines in post exchanges, l sad
in my last report that great BODY OF
reports had been received, which indi-
Gated that the effect of the law was un-
fortunate. but that | thought sufil-
cient time had not elapsed to give the
law fair trial. and that the observa-
ton and report of its working would
be continued during the ensuing year.
"A great number of additional re-
ports have now been received, and
they confirm the impression produced
by the earlier reports. | am convinced
that the general effect of prohibiting
the use of beer and light wines within
the limited area of the army post is to
lead the enlisted men to go out of the
post. to frequent vile resorts which
cluster in the neighborhood, to drink
bad whisky to excess, and to associate
intimately with abandoned men and
more abandoned women; and the op-
Grafton of the law is to increase drunk
enness, disease of the most loathsome
kind, insubordination and desertion.

Vibration Cure in London.

everything by his treatments, a claim
which is supported by Adelina Patti

monia, appendicitis, all are vibrated

Concerning some other abuses which

perintendent says: "rhe right of old

pacity so as to enable them to appro-
pirate and take from the streams the
full amount of water dccrecd to them
of n date twenty or thirty years ago,
and apply such water TO IL territory
recently brought under cultivation;
also the right to sell and transfer to
new bitches the surplus portion of de-
crecs granted to old bitches, but never
appropriated and used by them. TO the
injury of intermediate appropriations,
are questions which should be settled
so that the old appropriations and pros
pective investors in irrigation enter
prises may know on what ground they

BRUSH SURE OF
SUGAR FACTORY

Denver. Nov. 3O.-A Brush special to
the Republican last night says:
At mass meeting of farmers held
here to-day it was definitely settled
that a sugar factory of 600 tons capac-
city should be erected as socn as pos
sible. Excavating for the foundations
will be commenced before the end OF
the year. The factory. it is expected,
will be in operation in September. 1903.
Dyer & Co., of Cleveland. Ohio, have
had certified check on deposit with
the Brush bank for some time to back
their proposition to build factory as
soon as 5000 acres for beet culture
could be guaranteed. At the mass
meeting to-day 1000 additional acres
were pledged. making total of ISIS
acres guaranteed. The representative
of the company expressed himself as
satisfied with the outlook and tele-
graphed that work would be COM
menced as soon as satisfactory con-
tracts could be secured.
The meeting was enthusiastic. The
land contracted to the manufacturers
is the best the state affords. 1t is level
and fertile and is under two nj the
best bitches in the state. The farmers
in this district have thousands of acres
more to draw on.

the owner and manager, was con-
sumed in the fire. He carried q large
insurance in both the Modern Wood
men and the Woodmen of the World.
Both orders contested the policies and
refused to pay because there was
ground for thinking that Angel had
not died. The wife of Angel removed
to this city and conducted a boarding
house.
Last night Angel returned from
California, where he claims that he
has been for more than year. It is

cided to change the date from the last
week in February to the first week in

same week as the meeting of the State
Cattle Growers Association and the
American Cattle Growers. The date
decided upon is for March 3rd, 4th and
5th, instead of February 23rd, 2ith and
25th. 1t was decided to have the form
al opening of the new packing plant at
the same time. and the first week in
March will be memorable time in
live stock circles. The committee
elected Mr. c. X. Boettcher to be the
treasurer of the show in place of Mr..

There was enthusiasm over the out
look and it was decided to hold gen.
eral meeting of all the committees on
December 18th. at which time steps will
be taken to push the work of prepara-
ton and appoint other committees. The
indications are that there will be
large number of cattle. sheep and hogs
entered at the show. and that there
will be large attendance OF stockmen
from all parts of the United States.
