Gwen to me, and l wheeled her toward

she could look down the trail toward

Then Lady Charlotte set the canyon
before her in rich and radiant coloring,

the trail to where the elm tops could be

"Oh, it is lovely" said Gwen. "And

at last She could not help the question:

ANTS AND PARROTS ARE FIERCE
So Says a Man Who Has Lived Where
They "Rule the Roost."


Lions and tigers are all very well in
their way, but as really fierce and In
vincible creatures, ants and parrot bear
off the palm.
Parrots, when in their native wilds,
live in focks and guard themselves by
complete police system, which ena-
bles them to marshal their collective
force quickly when any animal or bird
attacks one of their number
They seem to be disciplined and
trained in fighting together and all
other birds and animals are afraid to
attack a parrot unless the bird can be
caught alone. Even then a shrill call
summons the parrot army to the res
cue.
1t is said that in the forests all par
rots die of old age and that none Is
ever killed by birds Of prey or other
wild animals.
The soldier ant is not only invinci-
BILE when attacked, but will make the
attack himself with great fierceness
and put to rout even lion.
A missionary recently returned from
Central Africa says Of these ants:
"One sees them busy in innumerable
battalions, ranked and disciplined,
winding away along like broad black
ribbon of watered silk. Nothing can
stop them nor change their route.

without thinking Of the child to whose
heart this was so dear, but whose eyes
never rested upon it. Lady Charlotte
made no reply. and we took the trail
that wound down into this maze OF
mingling colors and lights and shad-
ows. Everywhere lay the fallen leaves,
brown and yellow and gold every.
where on our trail. on the green MOSES
and among the dead ferns.
As we began to climb up into the open
I glanced into my ccmpanion's face.
The canyon had done its work with her
as with all who loved 1t. The touch OF
pride that was the habit Of her face
was gone. and in its place rested the
earnest wonder of little child, while
in her eyes lay the canyons tender
glow. And with this face she looked In
upon Gwen.
And Gwen, who had been waiting for
her. forgot all her nervous fear, and
with hands outstretched, cried out In
welcome:
"Oh, I'm so glad! You have seen 1t
and I know you love it! My canyon,
you knowp' she went on, answering
Lady Charlotte's mystified look.
"Yes, dear child" said Lady Char
lotte, bending over the pale face with
its halo Of golden hair. II love it." But
she could get no further, for her eyes
We're full Of tears. Gwen gazed up into
the beautiful face. wondering at her ST.
lence, and then said gently:
"Tell me how it looks today! The
Pilot always shows it to me. Do you
know" she added thoughtfully, "the
Pilot looks like it himself. He makes
me think Of it, and-and"-she went
on sLyly. "you do, too"
BY this time Lady Charlotte was
kneeling by the couch, smoothing the
beautiful hair and gently touching the
face so pale and lined with pain.
"That is a great honor, truly" she
said brightly through her tears-"to be
like your canyon and like your Pilot
too"

INQUISITIvE BEAR.
Investigated Can Of NitrogIyeerin,
With Immediate Results.


IF you want to kill a black bear

his experience in Potter county the

O'Brien is an oil well shooter, who
has met with many strange adventures
during the time that he has been haul
ing explosives over the Potter county
mountains, but none will compare with
that of which this tale relates.
O'Brien was bound for the Gaines Oil
field, driving through the mountains
with four cans Of the well-shootlns
explosive in his wagon. The lone
traveller camped at noon in little val
ley and rode one horse to a. small
stream down the slope for water, lead
ing the other. While the horses were
drinking they suddenly snorted and
broke into a wild run in spite Of any
He had just time to see a big black
bear shamble out Of the edge Of the
woods and make for them on trot.
Down the road the horses and rider
tore. Glancing over his shoulder MIR.
O'Brien saw the bear stop, snifle at
the wagon, and then, with a shove OF
his big paw, send a can Of nitroglycer-
in tumbling into the road. The next
thing O'Brien knew he was picking
himself up out Of the dense under
brush along the roadside. His horse
was not to be seen, and down where
the wagon had stood there IVES neith-
er wagon nor bear. Trees had been
uprooted and devastation reigned on
every hand. Half an hours search re-
vealed one foot Of the bear and hub
of one Of the wheels Of the wagon.
Later both horses were found unhurt.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The announce
nent that the king wore a white tall
hat" at the Phoenix Park races has
greatly interested the fashionable hat
tiers of London.
Not infreauently the hat q man wears
furnishes a very good index to his
character. but with the king it is diff
ferent. His majestys taste in hats is
largely dictated by his good nature and
the interests of the trade.
Five or six years ago West End
halter represented to the then Prince OF
Wales that the art of making white
tail hat was in a fair way OF being
forgotten. Make ME one of them,
commanded the prince. The Duke Of
Connaught also came to the rescue Of q
waning industry, but without lasting
result The white hat-which, by
the way, is not white, but drab-ilad
had its day.

The board of equalization. at it's
meeting yesterday, took up the protest
of Meritz Helm, in which the assess
ment of the street railway company is
attacked Oh the ground that it is too
low by some 100000 or more.
Before the clerk had finished reading
the letter, Mayor Smith apparently de-
tected who it was from, and, stopping
the clerk, asked if the communication
was from Mr.. Helm. He was informed
that it was.
Assessor Conley moved that the pro-
test be received and placed on file.
Auditor Krahmer opposed this method.
Addressing the mayor, the auditor
said:
DO you think that is the proper
method of disposing of such a commu-
nication?"

replied the mayor
Aid. Bantz moved that it be referred
to committee composed of Commits
sioners Pottgieser and Nash. but these
gentlemen did not care for the re-
sponsibility. Mr.. Pottgieser objected;
whereupon the county auditor made a
short speech. in which he said:
I'VE have been wrangling for two
weeks, and it is time we were getting
down to business. / oppose the refer
ence of the communication to a COM
lhltct dHu recommend THAT the street
railway company be asked to come be-
fore the board.
This company is assessed. directly
and indirectly, more than all of the
other corporations in the city, said
Mayor Smith. This fight is kept up
by Helm for a purpose. Last year the
city railway company paid into the city
treasury $125,000. and they have paid
for one-half the paving of the streets
over which their lines run. What is
the use of taking Helm UP again? He
went before the state board last year
and they paid no attention to him.
Assessor Conley stated that if it was
the Chamber of Commerce or CONNER
cial club the matter might be entitled
to some consideration. but. coming
from Helm, it was not.
After some farther discussion. the
matter was passed without any action
being taken.
Some other matters were discussed
by the board. but the body adjourned
without having transacted any busi-
ness.

Every effort has been made this year
to add all property to the tax rolls that
san properly be placed there. Per-
sonal property has been hunted down
carefully. Even where taxation will
bear upon the business interests of the
city, and to that extent burden our
progress, it is insisted upon. The
state is most careful that the compa-
MES operating steam railroads should
pay their share of public dues.
Why should exceptional generosity
be displayed toward corporation that
has received for nothing most valuable
gifts and privileges from the city?
Why should its assessment be fixed abb
normally low, and why should not the
public have right to inquire and to
protest if it believes that legitimate
taxation is eyaded? These questions
our people will feel like putting to both
the street railway company and the
members of the board.

error into which most newspapers have
fallen in discussing Judge Lochren's
decision in the Northern Securities
case is to speak Of the former dec1-
sion in the case brought by the federal
government as one rendered by the
circuit court Of appeals. The person
mel of the court. known to so many. is
the probable cause of the nearly uni
yersaI mistake. AS a matter of fact.
the question Of the legality of the
Northern Securities has not been be-
fore the circuit court Of appeals and
will not go there. The case of the

? The successor to Leo XIII. has been
chosen, and there is universal rejoicing
those who sy1npathize with the great
work that the church which embodies
1t is doing and has to do in the world
For the mantle of that great and good
man has fallen upon worthy shoulders.
He who yesterday became Plus x is
Judged, by the work of a long life, by
character and association, equal to the
mighty Office and the responsibility
that must be his until death.
From ail'that the church and the world
know of, Giuseppe Sarto, cardinal and
patriarch of Venice, the splendid honor
that has fallen on him viii be worn
with due honor and humility. He has
all the qualities that the devout church
man, ambitious for the richest devel-
opment of Roman Catholicism within

ardently reveres. He has the ability of
the executive without which a pope
must be to large extent dependent up
on the mercy of his associates He has
the uprightness of soul, the generous
thought, the sympathy with all hui
mainly that should belong to the ruler
of an empire material and spiritual.
And he has the largeness of mind, the
breadth of thought, the kinship with
his time which are perhaps most irval-
liable of all in head Of the church at
this epoch of it's life.
There is felicitous and an inspir-
ing resemblance between the latest in
the papal line and his immediate pre-
decessor in character and mode Of
thought, as there was sympathy in
their personal intercourse and likeness
in the circumstances Of theiS choice
Cardinal Sarto has been known best as
man of remarkable piety and purity
of life; bishop and father Of the peo-
pie. At the same age as Leo XIII. he
rises to- the same eminence, and there
are few who do not believe that he will
leave behind him a work as we'll round
ed and complete and a memory as hal
lowed.
Beyond and above the fortunes of
men, the rise and fall of parties, the
relations of spiritual and temporal
power and the struggle of questions OF
ecclesiastical policy, there towers the
impressive and monumental structure
OF the greatest of churches. Sacred
beyond expression is the preservation
and the guidance -.cf that order which
fixes for time and for eternity the lives
and destinfes Of uncounted millions.
If it be great thing for the church it
1T is no light thing for the world that
It should be committed to clean, strong
hands and to spirit as pure and as
intrepid as a flame Of fire. For by it,
to these nultitudcs, the everlasting
times are measured: and in it's weak
ness or It's wisdom they must find their
blessing Or their doom. =
1t is more than an ordinary event,
therefore, more Than the succession to
the proudest OF en,th's empires. when
new ruler sits in ST. Peters seat and
hears the joyful tteciaa,ations Of the
people of all lopds. 1t makes for a,e
history Of state as well Us church; and
for the growth Of The universal spirit
'lal life that is The center and core OF
human struggle ana human exis.ea4e.
The choice of Plus X. thus becon.ss a
