The Democrats Of this State have
shiued up their fighting armor. and

This ls the kind IF treatment the
Republicans had TO put UP with in

octopus has been killed, the sack OF

To see a horse when out at pasture
rolling Oh the ground and endeavorlng
10 turn over on his back Is Q common
sight but how many people have no.
ticed that In doing this horses observe
an inyarlalle ruleY
The rule Is that he always rolls over
either M the first or third attempt
never AT the secondhand more than
three attempts are never made. In
other words If the horse succeeds in
rolling over N the first tsy. well and
good-that satisfies him: but II the
first attempt is Il failure. the second
one always is Then he either rolls
quite over M the third or gives it up.
He never makes q fourth.
If horses are rolling on sloping ground.
they usually roll up hill This Is more
easy of explanation than the strange
custom regulating the number of at-
tempts. AS to this 10 adequate reason
has ever been offered. VIII those in
genlous people who tell Us why dog
turns round before lying down. and
why ducks walk behind each other in a
string instead OF abreast. explain why
a horse never makes four attempts 10
roll over and never succeeds at the
second?

Had the instinct of dumb brute not
been ignored and the supposed superb
GRITTY of human intelligence trusted the
fate of Ella Maud Cropsey of Eliza

A bloodhound. one Of the best trained
of that extraordinary species the world
over. in the presence of thousand
persons led the way from the Cropsey
house out to the road and down to
pier 600 feet away. then to the edge of
the pier.
1t was near this pier that Nell Crop
sey's body came to the surface
through patural causes, thirty seven
days after the dog had unerringly
shown where she had gone.
In those thirty-seven days detectives
had followed innumerable clcws lead
ing to twenty different cities, the po-
lice chiefs of hundred towns worked
on the case, and in the end the sagac-
ity of the bloodhound, descendant
of famous dogs employed TO hunt run

he enlisted and in the presence of DR..

ate in the same way living snakes,

More Laughter. less Suicides.

The physiological benefits of laughter
cannot be oyerestimated 1t shakes up
the dlaphrG GIN. sets the pulses beating
TO n lively measure, stimulates the
blood corpusclCs. enlivens the brain and
sometimes produces dslocation Of the
jaw when INDUCED in too heartily by
a man with large mouth. Used with
discretion, laughter is as inspiring as a
sea breeze. as refreshing Is an August
shower. Its moral effect is beyond
computation. Ii has killed more rdicu-
lous supcrstitions by its rollicking roars
Of unbelief than any other agency.
What can be more derisive than a
laugh? The man who laughs never
kills himself. This is the reason so few
lrishmen commit suicide.-Literary

One of the paradCXcs OF waste is that
the persons most addicted To ii are not
men and women OF Independent means
who can support themselves in spite Of
their eXtravagant expenditure. but the

financially independent If he would but
carefully husband his receipts and
guard against the little leaks of need
less expense But unfortunately this Is
the one thing which the workingman
finds il the hardest to do. There are q

willing properly 10 husband their earn

centage Of their receipts so as TO pro-
vide against sickness or want of en-

earnings as they go. and thus in the
