They Dislike the Wet weather and
Seek q Place of Safety.

Both wild and tame animals, four
footed or with wings, have a deep seat
ed aversion to wet weather. Even wa
ter fowl viii seek dry hiding place
when it rains
Did you ever watch the actions Of
cattle before a big storm? If so. you
must have seen them grow more and
more uneasy as the clouds gathered.
You also saw them run up and down
the field, as IL seeking to escape some
impending danger. Finally, when the
storm breaks, they draw close together
and with lowered heads present a pic
ture Of despair.
Domestic animals when IL rains will
always keep indoors, or, failing that.
they will seek shelter by the barn or
under trees or beneath the hedges and
thickets-in shsrt, in any convenient
place where they may not be entirely
exposed to the downpour.
1t is the same with fowls. They dis
like the rain, which soaks their feath-
ers. They seek sheltered places and
creep under wagons or behind boxes
and boards. Chickens do not mind get
ting their feet wet. for they will scratch
the ground soon after a shower In
search OF worms and beetles.
Wild birds do their best to keep out
of the rain. Some Of them build roof
over their nests; others choose a home
under the caves or under a projecting
cliff, where they may be safe from the
discomfort that the rain brings.
But most of them are without shelter
provided In advance by their own fore
thought. These take refuge In any
place that they happen to find at hand.
II you watch them before the storm.
you will see them looking for such a
place. IL the storm comes suddenly,
the small and helpless ones seem be-
wildered, flying from tree to tree and
from limb to limb, quite unable to make
up their minds exactly where to hide
themselves.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A REMINIsCENCE.


The Washington correspondent Of
the Anaconda Standard tells the fol-
lowing Nevada story, which is prob
ably new to the larger number Of the
States people.
Edward Rosewater of the Omaha
Bee when in Washington last week
was entertaining a party Of friends
in the lobby Of the Raleigh with stor-
les connected with his busy life. Mr..
Roeewater, is an old-time telegrapher
and in war times was regarded as one
Of the fastest operators in the service
Of the Western Union. During the
course of the talk the question Of long
and costly messages came mp. Mr..
Rosewater, who was the local man
ager of the telegraph company at
Omaha before he entered upon bis
career as journalist, said that ho re-
layed at Omaha the longest and cost
lest message ever sent. 1t was dur
ing the time when Nevada was knock
ing at the doors Of Congress to be ad-
mitted as State.
"In order to pass the thirteenth
amendment" Mr.. Rosewster said, cit
became necessary to admit Nevada
into the Union of States. But how to
get the proposed constitution OF the
new State to Washington before the
adjournment of Congress was seri-
GUS question. 1t took q month to get
letter from Carson City to Omaha 30
inadequate was the service in those
days. The constitution as adopted
by the constitutional convention was
staging along somewhere between
Carson and Omaha when there came
orders to have the bill Of rights of Ne
vada sent by wire to Washington. We
didn't have the facilities in those days
for handling Presidents messages and

pany got as many good senders to-
gether as they could in Carson City,
while l, as local manager in Omaha.
did likewise, and we started sending
the constitution of Nevada to the ma
tional capital. It took us in the neigh
borhood of five hours to relay the mes
sage at Omaha.
"The message contained $4,000
words and as the cost per word in those
days was fifty cents, that message
cost the State of Nevada IS, 800. That
was the biggest message | ever heard
Of and certainly was the costliest. The
constitution OF Nevada, by means OF
the telegraph, reached Congress in
time to be acted on, and the admission
OF Nevada made the passage of the
thirteenth amendment possible"

"No, gentlemen" replied the man

not against card playing on principle,
but FIVE years ago made a VOW never

the glue factory traveller.
"Oh, no. My mother died many years
ago. l was on c., b. and q. train
one day, and we made up a game OF
poker. There were five of us, and had
never had such luck in my life. One
Of the players was from Montana, and

strip of high mountain, and not worth

But where does the vow come inr
81 will tell you. After holding that
land three years sold 1t to Chicago
stone syndicate, and men were put to
work quarrying stone. A blast started
an avalanche, and not only ten work
men lost their lives, but a party OF
twenty-five emigrants were overwhelm-
ed in the valley below. l was thus in
directly responsible for the death Of
thirty-five of my fellow creatures. Had

been sold for quarry"
"Yes, we see," said the glue man.
''The other fellow would probably have
used II for toboggan slider
'T believe that was his plan, sir"
"And II he had, the slide might have
busted some day and fifty people been
hurled into eternity"
"Do you think II possibleY
''Not only possible. but extremely
probable. Yes, hundred people might
have been involved In the awful dis

the lives of about fifty people and are
entitled to great credit"
'Do you really assure mef'

"Then, gentlemen. I will cancel my
