THE WONDERS OF NATURE.
Protection From Enemies Furnished
All Livinc Thincs.

Protection From Enemies Furnished
All Living Things.
BY a decree OF nature, one-han
the world fourishee at the expense OF
the other half The sparrow chases
the butterfly. but the hawk chases the
sparrow. For the problem of life is
twofold. II is not enough merely TO
eat; it is necessary 10 avoid being
eaten Yet nature deteats killing for
killings sake. Massacre forms no
part of her great Plan. So We see
that every creature is provided with
some more or less effective quality OF
defence. BY means of which the at
tacks OF it's natural enemies are rem
dered less frequent Or less deadly.
Thus, the antelope. by means of its
superior speed, at timeJ escapes from
the lion. The armad.llo, rolled in its
wondrOus coat of mail, lies secure
among a score Of hungry. gn2wing
foes, while the white hare. scarcely
distinguishable from the snow on
which it crouches. is often over
looked by his ice the fox. But OF all
creatures none nave received more
ample protection than the insects.
Some OF them possess stipas. others
bite, and Few puff ont clouds of
poisonous vapOr to stupefy or blind
their pursuers Again, there are in
sects clothed in impenetrable armor,
insects covered with sharp spines
and prickles and others whose means
of defence consists in nothing but a
likeness to the objects which sur
round them.

but of the many who have the happy
faculty OF selecting, enjoying and learn
Ing the real worth of the choicest prod

becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements OF the we'll in

manufacture must be Cf the most per-

after nearly q quarter of a century OF
growth and general use the excellent

accepted, throughout the world, as the

due not only to the excellence of the

BOLD HOLDUP IN OGDEN.
Saloon Robbed While Street in Front
is Well Populated.

Ogden, Utah, Oct. 2O.-One of the
boldest holdups in the history of this
city occurred, when three masked
men entered the Turf Exchange sa-
loon and compelled the bartender and
the dozen occupants of the place to
line up with their faces to the wall.
One of the robbers took over 500
from the cash register. another rifed
the pockets of the victims, while the
third stood guard.
M. d. Lessinger, a well known at
torney, who was in the place at the
time, insisted on turning his head
from the wall and was beaten in a
brutal manner, receiving severe
wounds. After taking all the money
in sight the robbers escaped. The
exact amount obtained by them can
not be ascertained. At the time of the
holdup the street in front of the saloon
was crowded with people.
