INDIVIDUALITY OF ANIMALS.
Amateur Observers Can Frequently
Give N~aturalists Pointers.

Give NaturalistS Pointers.
The truth is, that he who watches
any animal closely enough will see
what no naturalist has ever seen.
This is the simple secret of the won
derful cat story, or the incredible dog
story, to be heard in almost every
house. 1t means, says DR.. William
J. Long, in the North American Re.
view, that, after you have catalogued
dogs perfectly, you still have in every
dog a new subject withsOme new hab-
its. Every boy who keeps a pet has
something to tell the best naturalist.
Every audience to which have ever
lectured on animals has brought for
ward at least a dozen men andwomen,
each with a true animal story that
seems incredible. In the state OF
Maine alone | have talked with at
least Is different guides and trappers.
They all follow the same classes OF
animals, yet every guide has a differ
ent record of the habits of those ami
mails, and nearly everyone Of them
has at least three or four animal
stories that would not be believed Il
they were printed. That is not be-
cause they lie; for | have found them
to be truthful and reliable men most
ly; and, since their success as guides
and hunters is at stake, they are keen
to listen and learn about animals,
The truth is they have discovered un-
consciously the secret Of animal in
diyiduality, which the old natural his
tory writers have missed they see diff
ferent habits, simply because they
follow different animals in different
localities.

pie are reading reform literature more

Nevertheless it Is made the only thing
which will completely satisfy all taxes
and judgments. And before govern
ment can secure services and commod-
tiles it needs for its maintenance il
must compel its citizens to find the
owner of gold coin and at a sacrifice
either borrow or buy that indispens-
able gold due-bill and turn 1t over to
the government then government in
turn pays out the gold due-bill to
those who furnish 1t services and COM
modities Why should government
give away this valuable due-bill to
one who has furnished nothing except
the "stock" on which to print it?
The answer is, that abolition of this
roundabout plan would practically
eliminate usuary-and as the usurers
own our government, they do not in
tend to lose their graft.
No, The Independent does not favor
the free coinage of anything. II

nomic rent should be paid In due

'due-bills' presented to certain fav-
orites because they happen TO have
peculiar substance on which to print
them.
So The Cincinnatian thinks taxes
are "a small item In prosperous
business" Well, perhaps; but so Is
the last straw" which broke the
camel's back. And If the matter of
taxes Is so Insignificant, wherefore the

In Cedar county this year we had

Let this populist friend denounce
democrats specifically If they have de-
feated populists, but do not dcnounce
fusion generally just because there are

Mr.. De Hart advocates adopting pro-
lection as principle OF populism.
Why cannot he be satisfied with nom
ey transportation and land? If he
would wish to draw from the demo-
cratic party lie should advocate free
trade rather than protection. In my
acquaintance there are many more
absolute free traders than tariff for

HOW CLARK BUYS 4 BOND
Which Guarantees His Family an Els.
tate, If He Dies, and Himself Z
Home, If He Lives.

Mr.. Clark, aged thirty-five, is man.
eger of the elevator in the town of Sa-
lem. The position pays him good
salary, enabling him to support his
family and lay aside about 5000 per
year. Though he is now living COM
fortably, he realizes that he must de-
wise some way of providing an income
for his declining years.
His idea Is to buy farm. During
q period Of meditation as to whether
or not he shall purchase certain quar-
ter section of land which is for sale at
$4,000, he is interviewed by represen-
tative Of the Old Line Bankers Life In
surance company of Lincoln, Nebraska
who endeavors to interest him in Life
Insurance.
Hardly does the agent get well start
ed, when he is interrupted by Mr.. Clark
who tells him OF his intention to buy
a farm. He states that he Is about to
make small payment on the purchase
price and will, If the agent can offer
anything better be an interested
listener.
WELL" said the agent, suppose you
buy farm worth SIS, 900 by paying the
small sum of $175.25 annually without
interest, for twenty years, the con-
tract for same containing clause spe-
cifying that, should you die at any
time, the party from whom you buy
the land will cancel all deferred pay
ments, ard give your estate ciea:
title; or IL you live to the maturity o.
the contract. give you not only the deed
to the land. but pay you as large per-
centage of profit as you could reason
ably expect to make from the property.
Would you buy a farm on those
terms?"
OF course Mr.. Clark was interested
and since the Company secures each
and every contract issued with q de-
post Of approved securities with thu
State Of Nebraska, he expressed a WILL
ingness to become party to such an
agreement.
We'll" continued the agent, III yor
will pay annually to the Old Line Bank

braska the sum of $175.25 they will, If
you die at any time, pay to whom yol
may name the sum of $1,000. II yor

cash settlement consisting OF the guar
anteed reserve and an estimated sur
plus, amounting to 5,491.25. You will
readily see that you receive $1,986.2s
more than you pay in, which is better
than four per cent compound interest
Then, too, having the assurance that
should you die, you would leave COM
