EYPANDING.

Perhaps by and by this country will be able to make all other countries rich as well as itself We read that Chicago firms are ordering steel abroad. Last week ten thousand tons of steel billets were received from Europe, while im- portations oe structural steel and iron were also recorded. It is sad that the reason for ordering structural materials from abroad is that orders placed in Europe can be filled more speedily than they can be in the United States. The manufacturers here are so busy that they can't keep up with their orders.
 Let us continue to expand until all other countries are doing nothing but working for us Then when the whole world is behind in filling the orders we give we can look around for means to get hold of some other world and set it at work for us.

wild dogs round the tree, and there was no. doubt tiger had been in the tree, and wild dogs tracks were all round about.
 I am pretty well certain that wild dogs do not live on game alone, as on several occasions I have seen single dogs hunting about on the banks of streams, evidently looking for frogs, beetles. etc, and once I watched about a dozen spread out on hillside hunt ing for something in the tufts of grass, and through my glass I could see that they caught and ate something. l could never understand how the bitches both before and after they have had their pups. manage to exist, as from what I have seen Of the packs they are always on the move, here to-day and miles off tomorrow.

COULDN'T KEPT DOWN.

It's hard to keep a good man down. A citizen of Tucker county, West Vir- ginia, wanted to be liquor seller, but he was baffled in every attempt to se- cure license in the village in which he lived. Six times did he ask for @ license and six times was he repulsed. But he had made up his mind to sell liquor, and he persisted. He bought a tract of land separated from the village by a small stream, and there founded settlement, which in time took on a name and se- cured a charter. In his new municipal ity he became everything official, and had no difficulty in obtaining permission to open saloon. Having triumphed thus far over the grave difficulties, he caused wire bridge to be built across | the stream in front of his establishment, giving easy access to the thirsty of the village that had denied his application for license, and he is now a liquor sell | CT, in accordance with a long cherished and persistently carried out purpose. This teaches what can be done. With a firm purpose and persistent pursuit man can not only become liquor dealer. He can get into Congress or into Society.

IOWA PROSPERITY AND SCHOOLS

An interesting effect of the prevailing prosperity is noticed in Iowa. This is the decrease in the number of male teachers in the schools. According to Superintendent R, c. Barrett, of the Iowa Department of Public Instruction, only one-fiftieth of the attendance at the county institutes in Iowa this sum- 1ner has represented the male element In other words, the proportion of fe- male teachers to males in the institutes has been as about fifty to one. In one institute of 125 there was one lone, soli- tary man. In another institute of 195 there were 191 female teachers. The explanation given by Superintendent Barrett is plausible. "The male part of the teaching population" he says, lis decreasing at rapid rate, because times aresprosperous, and men see they | can make more money in other lines. If times should change for the worse | then many men who have formerly | taught would brush up again, obtain certificates, attend institutes and go back into the schoolrooms." A tenden- cy to increase the wages of teachers has been remarked by MT. Barrett in many parts of the State. He says the matter has been repeatedly called to his attention. but he will not be entirely sure there is general movement of l this kind until he obtains the statistics for the State. "A movement of this
 kind would be very gratifying" said MT. Barrett. Teachers wages in Iowa
 have been so ridiculously low that we
 have had no reason to be proud of the
 State in that regard. I shall be pleased
 to see an improvement in wages"
 Iowa ought to have fair proportion i of male teachers, even if she does have
 to pay them well, and she ought to pay
 all her teachers better than she does.

 INDIA's WILD DOGS.
An Anglo-Indian's Recollection of
 Them.

An Anglo-Indian's Recollection of
 Them.
 As lived on the hills in Southern h. dia for something like twenty years and had many opportunities for studying the habits of wild dogs, the following notes may be of interest. have watched them hunting sambur and barking deer on numerous occasions, The smallest pack ever saw running sambur was three and the most In one pack was thirty seven.
 I never heard them utter any sound when running, but on one occasion I saw a large pack pull down yearling sambur about half mile from me and stalked them with my rife. When q got near found two dogs keeping sen- try on ridge above ravine where the rest were eating the sambur. These two when they saw me ran toward me uttering short sort of bark, 'agh," "agh,' "agh," several times very quiAl- ly. On my firing at one of them the whole lot immediately bolted.
 On several occasions when had dis turbed pack at kill and they had got scattered in long grass I heard them ealing to efiem another a single short whining note. One evening when out stalking was watching herd of bison that was grazing about half a mile away, they suddenly put their heads up and bolted. I then saw stag sambur some way from where the bisons had been, with three wild dogs hunting him they disappeared in the direction of the river.
 I followed them as quickly as possi- ble, telling my dog boy who was with me leading two dogs to come after me. When I got to the stream I found the wild dogs had killed, the stag and were busy tearing out his entrails. fired at one of them and broke foreleg and he went off up an open grass hill. My dog boy ran down and slipped the dogs. | who ran into him in about 100 yards and when I got to them the wild dog was apparently dead.
 had my dogs coupled, and dragged l the wild dog down to the stream by the tail, and left him on the bank, while we crossed the stream and were pulling the sambur out on the bank Looking round saw the wild dog had again gone off up the hill, My dogs again caught him, and he was again apparently dead, but to make sure I proceeded to cut his throat, when he immediately turned round and snapped at my hand. I have known several occasions of jackals pre- tending to be dead when coursed and caught by greyhounds, and when left getting up and running awy again, but never heard of another instance of 8 wild dog doing so.
 l I never knew of tiger being killed by wild dogs, but once found a dead wild dog lying beside the remains of @ sambur, and tigers tracks all around | it: in this case there was no doubt I that the tiger killed the wild dog.

NOT LIKE MR. WELLER.

Before and since MT. Weller warned his son to beware of widows there have been men who have spoken slightingly of widows. But there have also been and are men who neither fear nor dis like widows. Colonel Bowers, editor of the Mule published in Panola county, Texas, is such a man. In a recent is- sue of the Mule Colonel Bowers states that for sixty years he has been a close observer of the hardships the widows are compelled to encounter as they pass through the thorny valley of life, and as the best evidence of his sympathy with and thoughtfulness of them he married widow, and for the past thirty-six years has tenderly cared for her the best he could-has been unre- mitting in his efforts to see that she stepped upon as few thorns in this life as possible, and even at the time of year when Old Boreas was blowing his bluest blasts has crowned her head with bouquets of sweetest flowers, and for the discharge of all these marriage al- tar obligations he has been amply re- warded with her smiles, forbearance, constancy and wifely devotion"
 Good, for Colonel Bowers. He edits the Mule, but there is nothing mulish about him. He offers to send his paper free for year to every widow in Pan ola county, and probably both he and the widows will profit by his philan- thropy.
