A Bird That Cannot Fly.

Who knows of bird that cannot
fly?
Even a tame goose can fly, though
very awkwurdly. But l know Of one,
the aux, who cannot fly at all, for his
wings are too short, and the poor fell
lows legs are SO short and are set SO
far back that he can hardly walk.
How. then, does he get about and lind
his food? An old Irish sailor nine
years ago explained that "all their
walkin' was done by swimmin'.'
Their broad wchbed feet are good oars,
and their short wings are useful pad
dies. They get over the ground by
swimmin, which is the best way for

is mostly Wathcr.'

STRIKERS CONCEAL OANNONS.
Italians Near Duryea Said to Have
Guns In Barn.

Guns In Barn.
Scranton Pa, Aug. discharges OF
startling nature are made by the own
ers Of the Warnke washery at Dury Ell,
near here, to the effect that the author
tiles of that town are in league with
the strikers to prevent the Washery
from resuming business. On top OF
these charges Michael T0hil, bust
ness man Of Duryea. has informed the
authorities of this city that Italian
strikers have concealed two cannons
in an old barn in Connellton, one mile
this side Of Duryea, Tohil sAid these
guns would be used by the strikers
when another attempt was made to
open the Warnke waShery.
Another encounter between strikers
and county deputies has occurred at
the washery. the scene of last Thurs
days riots. Before the approach Of
dawn q crowd of strikers surrounded
the washery and opened fire on the
five deputies who We're guarding the
property. A quick response from the
men inside, who We're armed with ri
fees, caused the strikers to break and
run for shelter. So far as could be
learned no one was injured.
Mr.. Warnke. who is general man
ager says he will make another eff
fort to open his waShery Tuesday.
This. it is thought. means another out
break. A part of the state militia
now qlartered at Shenandoah is in
readiness to 90 to Duryea at mill
ute'S notice. The burgess. however,
has Informed General Goblin that
troops are not needed.

FOR THE CHILDREN
An Am using Pet.

A box turtle Is an especially amusing
pet. A correspondent tells Of keeping
one in large but shallow box tilled
with sand to the depth of four inches.
The box was covered with wire netting
and contained large dish Of water,
plenty Of fresh moss and growing
terms. In the winter the turtle was al
lowed to roam around the house, as
nave seen them In schoolrooms. This
correspondent gives an amusing ac-
count or the manner In which the tur-
tie went downstairs, falling from step
to step, each time landing on it's back.
After struggle he would turn over
and then try the next step as before.
Arriving on the ground floor, he al
ways made his way to the kitchen and
established himself In a corner near
the kitchen fire.
This reminds me Of an anecdote re-
lated by DR.. Abbott. OF box tortoise
he writes:
followed and found him still travel
Ing in direct course and was Just in
time to witness a funny scene. The
steep bank of a deep ditch had been
reached, and the tortoise was contem-
plating the outlook. 1t was too abrupt
descent for ordinary crawling, and
to 60 In search Of more easy crossing
seems not to have been thought of. At
last, leaning over the edge as far as
possible, the creature withdrew into
his shell and sent himself by a sudden
push Of his hind feet head over heels
down the incline and landed on his
back. Was this accidental or
Intentional? l think the latter The

The Law as to AStrayS,

Following are cardinal points re-
garding the law as to taking up stray
ed animals under the Montana law:
The Montana code says that the de-
tainer of an animal saved from drown
ing or starving must make affidavit to
the fact before a justice of the peace,
when appraisers are appointed and
the justice files copy of the appraise-
ment with the county clerk. A descrip-
ton of the animal must also DE pub
lished in some paper in the county.
When these things are done, the ami
NAL, unless the owner appears and
pays all costs, becomes the property
of the detainer. But this procedure in
red tape is not necessary when an ami
NAL is simply taken up as an estray
In the latter event all that is necessary
is that notice reciting the facts be
published four consecutive times unless
the owner appears in the meantime,
proves property, and pays all
charges. If at the end of four weeks,
the owner fails to appear, or if he
does show up, but refuses to pay the
charges, the animal should in every
case be advertised for sale, one notice
being sufficient, and sold to the highest
bidder. The detainer may bid the
animal in.

at which time will have buyers for
oOOO horses. I have never sold less
than 1OOO horses at any sale, and
never mad as many horses as 1 could
have sold. At my last Sheridan sale
I had buyers from as far east as YER
mont and Maryland, and as far south
as Louisina and Mississippi. have
been in the range horse business for
twenty-five years, and have a wide
acquaintance with dealers in every
section. The time is now here to sell
your horses; crops are fine and feed
plentiful and cheap, and horses in the
farming sections are scarce and high;
the southern trade is also very active.
Anyone having horses large enough
for feeders will find a strong market.
These horses must weigh 1900 to 400
pounds; horses for the southern trade
should weigh $50 to 11OOpounds. There
is also strong demand for mares and
colts, yearlings and two-year olds,
from the farmer trade. Remember I
never sell a horse until the owner is
ready, and I never make any charge
:.1x
is the expense of bringing the horses
to Billings.
To those who live west of Billings on
the railroad I want to say that you
can bill your horses to st. Louis or
Chicago to feed at Billings, and we
will sell them subject to all freight
charges, so that you will be out nothing
but the commission. The commission
for selling will be one dollar per head
for all horses sold in punches, and
w. 50 for all horses sold singly or in
pairs. Horses weighing from 1900 to
14OO lbs. have brought $50 to $l37 each
at my former sales; mares and colts
have brought from SIS to 500; year.
lings have sold from $12 to $3s; two
year olds have sold from $13 to $45;
ponies at from SIS to $35; old COW
ponies at from Sis to $50.
REMEMBER no charge for horses not
sold.
REMEMBER no horse sold unless the
owner is willing.
REMEMBER I will have buyers for
5000 horses.
REMEMBER that conditions were
never so good.
REMEMBER we will have buyers for
the commonest ponies as we'll as the
heaviest draught horses.
REMEMBER to bring in your broke
horses.
REMEMBER the date and have your
horses ready.
REMEMBER this will be the greatest
sale ever held in the north west.
