Now, we were hundred miles south

horse, a dog would be about the last
thing to occur to one in guessing at
the identity of any strange animals.
This looked like a little black blotch,
without form. Yet Peter knew 1t. It
was dog, lost from some Indian hunt

to an extent positively uncanny to us

KEEN SENSES of INDIANS.

Stewart Edward White, who wrote

the following and other stories to show
the keenness of their senses:
I'm journeying down the Kapuskas-
ing river, our Indians-who had come
from the woods to guide us-always
saw game long before we did. They
would never point it out to us. The
bow of the canoe would swing silently
in its direction, there to rest notion

seen something. Where is it, PeterY
would whisper. But Peter always
remained CONTEMPORARY silent. One
evening we padded directly into the

powders. There was no current. and
no breath Of wind to stir the water into
betraying rifles. But invariably those

Not infrequently animals are enlist

a drug store showed happy young

two cropping puppies. Common as the
sight of dog and her youngsters
must be to most persons, this show
window was lined from morning to

watched with interest every move of
the handsome mother as she tried to

Another frequent exhibit is one of
young chickens. Often the mother Is

Irrigation Men Want Chairman of

Unless George H. Maxwell, executive
chairman of the National Irrigation
association, opposes plans formulated
at Phoenix, Ari., during his absence in
the east, it is probable that vice
presidential boom will be formally
launched for him at the October con-
vention of the National Irrigation as
ISOLATION to be held at Ogden, Utah.
Recently P. C. Jackson, of Lomita.
Tex, sent communication to a local
paper strongly advocating Maxwell as
the running mate of Theodore Roose-
welt. The communication was pub
lished and the incident gave raise to a
determined effort of national irriga-
tionists to secure this honor for the
man who has been most active in fur
thering the aims of the association and
whose views on the comprehensive
plan of western arid land reclamation
are In conformity with those of the
president. Maxwell shares with Con-
gresham Newlands the honors of the
construction and passage of the Hans
brough-Newlands act which Is estab-
fishing the foundation for a great sys-
tenn of storage reservoirs and the re-
clamation of thousands upon thous-
ands of acres of desert land In the

Mr.. Maxwell is a native Californian
His political record consists merely in
stumping the state for the republican
party in 1894. He was a resident OF

any state as his home.
Mr.. Maxwell practiced law a the
