brought by T. A. Massie to re-
cover money for his collection

Ditcl, Commission at Work.

The commissioners appointed
by County Auditor Innes to
assess the damages and to adj
just the cost of the bitches.
which are to be constructed in
the northwestern part Of the
county are hard at work upon
the labor delegated to them.
The $25, 900 damage which the
Chicago & Northwestern Rail
road company claim from the
construction of the Pigeon creek
ditch has been withdrawn, and
a compromise has been reached
between the company and the
commissioners of the ditch. In
stead of the ditch crossing at
an angle the right of way of
the railroad, the course of the
ditch has been changed and the
creek now will run through a
big trestle. This will avoid the
necessity of a new bridge by
the railroad company. Non

Some appear to have the
idea that they can subscribe

from the postoffice. We got a
refusal card from a party this
morning and we're going to
collect what is coming to us if
there is a lawyer in Harrison
county that can get it. We
need the money and we think
that the subscriber got his dol
lars worth every year, SO it is
not our intention to be fleeced
out of a cent in a proposition of
that kind. If you don't want

According to the showing
made on Mr.. Livingston's books

Some one in canvassing the tip sub
ject has discovered that we tip the
wrong people all the time. Particu-
larizing, the discoverer declares that
1t is the cook, not the waiter who
should receive this material expression
of our favor and that 1t is the en-
glneer, not the conductor who should
have the extras for getting us about on
time when we travel in haste. OF
course this discovery will not result in
the searching. out of the man behind
the man who reaches out his hand for
the tip. We shall continue to send our
gratuities along on the same old lines,
getting SNUG contentment over feel
ing that we have done our duty--or is
it the satisfaction of making the petty
display of our cash resources?-an
that we can't be expected to chase up
the real benefactor, but it adds an
other complication to the tip question
for those who already find it too per-
plexing.-Boston Transcript.

A Tale OF ratlle.. Cats.

Travellers have noted that in the Bis
marck archipelago cats without tails
are very numerous. The explanation
as given in. the World Today is curious
The natives Of the islands have q su-
perstitious belief that remnants Of food
falling into the hands of an enemy en-
able him to cast spell over the eaters
of the meal at which the remnants
were left. Now, the natives value their
cats less as pets than as a convenient
source of fresh meat. 1t follows that
thefts Of cats are frequent, or rather
were frequent until some genius
evolved the happy scheme of cutting off
their tails and storing them away in a
safe place. For" said he, IF thief
should steal my cat and eat it, an in
cantation muttered over its residue will
make the miscreant so sick that he will
be sorry he ever tasted stolen cats
flesh" 1t was an idea worthy of the
great chancellor himself, and the hum
BILE, brown Bismarckian, in pursuing
the blood and iron policy which it en-
tailed, was, like him, serenely indiffer-
ent to bloodshed, pain and caterwaul-
ings so long as he secured his ends or
his cats ends.

Tree and Plant Leaves.

The general arrangement of the
leaves on limbs and stalks of trees and
plants secures between each sufficient
space to prevent one leaf from Interior
ing with another. And not only are
leaves so arranged as to exist independ-
emily of each other, but in a general
way they have taken upon themselves
the forms best adapted to secure the
maximum of sunlight as 1t is showered
upon them in different ATTITUDES. At
the equator, where the suns rays are
vertical, we find large fiat leaves like
those of the banana, plantain and the
various species of the cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine NEE
dies" are found. Then again note the
popularity of the Australian gum tree.
Instead of exposing their broad faces to
the sun the edges only are so turned
Were 1t otherwise the sun would rob
them of all their moisture, it being a
well known fact that the gum tree
grows in the driest region on earth.

The EnrIx Catbfrd.

At 4 o'clock the catbirds have it al
to themselves, and they will not only
sing their hearts out into the trees and
the sky, but they will give us imita-
tions and will sing over again all the
sounds and melodies they have heard
My nearest neighbor, who builds in the
Tartarian honeysuckle, comes near to
me with evident comprehension of my
admiration and undertakes to tell me
that he is not like other birds, but
understands human folk. He jumps
about the limbs near to me and with
whistle calls back and forth, l envying
his musical ability and he possibly
wondering somewhat about my books
and my balconies. l should be very
lonely in the country without the cat
bird. He only has the power of COM
partnership with us.-Independent.

The sting Ray.

OF the many dangers which beset
navigators of the tropical rivers Of
South America perhaps the natives
fear the sting ray most. 1t is poison
Gus and is to be found in very large
numbers when the river is low. That
is the time when boatmen have to get
in the water to push their canoes over
the shadows. They are often stung by
the tail Of the ray and usually die I'M
less medical assistance is promptly CIV
on. The raw cannot be seen, as it Is of
Tho same color as the h on which it
coils itself. The stab of rs sharp knife
like tail is the unwary navigator's first
intimation of its presence.

To Give Gar a Noisx Time.

the cars visit to Rome will precipi-

tic and Republicans are arranging TO
give the car disagreeably noisy
welcome They have planned to main
tain pandemonium as long as the car
remains in Rome. They have pur-
chased 10000 whistles, which will be
Justify blown from the time the car
enters until he leaves the city Wher-
ever the car goes, day or night, he
will be greeted by the din Of thou
sands of shrill whistles. which are
guaranteed to drown the music of the
hands. The Socialists and Republi-
cans hate the czar intensely, especial

they intend to make his visit to Rome
enc he will not forget soon. The So
cialists are preparing a general strike
which will be declared the day the

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. S.-President
Roosevelt Monday was accorded a
magnificent reception by the citizens
of his own state. From the moment
of his arrival in this city in the morn

thousands came from the country i'm
