Badger as a Fireman.

A badger, which had made it's home
among the granite cliffs, dealt with the
fire god with sagacity and skill, says
Nature. A friend, while painting a sea
piece, discovered a badgers lair, and
thought to play the animal practical
joke. Gathering together a bundle of
grass and weeds, be placed it inside the
mouth Of the hole, and, igniting it with
a match, waited for the ignominious
fight Of the astonished householder
But Master Badger was resourceful
animal and not disposed to be made a
butt of practical jokers.
He came up from the depths of his
hole as soon as the penetrating smoke
told him that there was fire on the
premises, and deliberately scratched
earth on the burning grass with his
strong claws until all danger was past
No human being could have grasped
the situation more quickly, or displayed
greater skill in dealing with an unfa-
miliar event.

Representative Lacey of Iowa op-
poses the plan Of naming new States
after famous Americans; he recalls
that it was once proposed to name Col
orado, and subsequently one Of the Da-
lkotas, for Abraham Lincoln, just as
Jefferson" has now been suggested
for Oklahoma. Congress refrained, he
believes wisely, from making the
change. A statement that Lincoln is
leading in gold' or lin the front rank
as wheat producer" would not sound
in harmony, he thinks, with the asso-
Citations that cluster about the name Of
that great American. Each State should
have an appellation that is distinctive.
The Indian words have served the pur-
pose admirably.

in the Water.

the water
T.. E. Duyal, timber cruiser for the
land department of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad, who has just returned
from a trip through Clarke County,
Washington, tells of a lake completely
filled with dead wild animals hemmed
in by the recent forest fires and smoth-
cred to death in the water. Said he:
''In township north, range east,
is a lake l have often visited before. 1t
is about one acre in extent On this
occasion 1 suppose | was the first to
visit it since the fire, though there have
been many there since | spread the re-
port, al of whom can corroborate what
I say. Long before l reached the lake
I was greeted by a smell so nauseatlng
that after satisfying my curiosity /
went away and was sick for hours.
81 found the surface Of the lake one
mass of deer, foxes, bears and wolves
and all the varieties of small animals
that roam our woods. The lake is in
a deep hollow between the hills and the
fire had encircled it at a great distance
in the first place. crowding towards
the lake by degrees, and at last driving
every living animal of the woods into
the water to be either drowned or
Smothered.
''The water was completely covered
for the whole acre with rotting car
casses, and how many deep they We're
I had no means of knowing; [ was not
equal to stirring them up even could
I have secured a stick to do it with.
From the remains of other animals in
the woods nearby l surmise that some
tried to escape through the circle OF
death. | have heard that in such SUI
preme moments the iercest animals
forget their ferocity. Something like
and deer, minks and squirrels were
mingled in the pestiferous mass indis-
criminately.
'Probably the only struggle at all
was for lodgment on the backs of the
already dead. The hides were begin
ming to fall off the bodies of the ami
mails, leaving an unsightly mass as
displeasing to the eyes as to the nos
trils Several of the people who went
to visit the lake afterwards were
forced to turn back by the stencil"
Duval has included his story in his
report made at headquarters and re-
ports townships and as also com
pletely cleaned out by the forest holo
caust which killed the wild animals in
such quantity.

HIS DREAM INACCURATE.

AS to presentimentS," said the Cass
County man who was in the city on
business a few days ago, eve had
three or four in my time, and [ can't

was located in this town. I fell into a
doze in my house one Sunday after
noon, and had vision or presentiment
that as l walked along Woodbridge
street l saw through the window of a
shop a man sharpening a tool on
grindstone. AS / continued to look,
the stone burst and killed the man.
1.-THE thing made deep impression
on me, and week later, when 1 came
to the city, went out of my way to
walk up Woodbridge street. Strangely
enough, l found the shop and the man
working at the grindstone. MY heart
was in my mouth as opened the door
and grabbed him by the arm and pulled
him out on the walk"
"And then the grindstone few to
pieces?" queried one of his listeners.
according to the Detroit Free Press.

called me some sort of fool, and when

say there's nothing In presentiments.
but give you the straight tip that the
undersigned will take it out in dreams
after this, and he'll be particular not to

blase. Sunet !mes he buys gun and
ends 1t; or he takes to absinthe, which
is a slower way. 1t is impossible to
arouse or enthuse him. Isn't the bulk
Of humanity getting a touch of that
feeling? 1t is a sort Of fat, lazy sensa'
ton, and it isn't good for US. For In
stance: The other day Marconi sent
wireless messages from President
Roosevelt to King Edward, across the
ocean. There was no trouble. 1t was
as easy as calling messenger boy,
and much more prompt The pursers
of two ocean vessels, separated by fifty
miles Of heaving waves, played chess
by the aid of the Marconi invention.
The game was most enjoyable and un'
interrupted. 1t was enlivened by wire
less conversation, and the loser con-
graduated the winner You woulo
think that this Yankee nation would
build bonfres and sit upon its h1no
legs and whoop at such marvellous
feat. It did nothing of the kind. II
was scarcely interested. one New
York newspaper gave the affair lesa
than half the space that was accorded
to a woman who had accumulated sew
en- husbands, and as for pictures, the
woman had the best Of 1t by a ratio
Of two columns to nothing. It is doubt
full if there has been an invention that
will exceed in importance the one
made practical by Marconi. 1t is worth
all the enthusiasm that can be aroused
over it. and any honor that this nation
can show to the author of it should be
his by right. When the steamer st.
Louis limped into port days behind
schedule time, and tears of joy rained
down the cheeks of those who feared
they had lost loved ones, few per-
sons at least realized that no amount
of money could equal in value an in
vention that makes it possible to con
vey information without wires,
through storm and fogs, to the friends
safe on land.

unbending dignity that knows no per-
turbation. While Governor he once
went to the lobby of principal hotel
in Little Rock on Sunday, spat in the
face of a member who, he considered,
had offered him an affront concerning
q public issue, and when the legislator
showed a disposition to resent the at
tack the Governor drew pistol from
his pocket and was in the act Of using
it when friends interfered and prevent
ed what might easily have resulted in
bloodshed.
The Governor then voluntarily went
before magistrate, submitted his case,
and paid fine Of $50 for carrying
weapon. And there the matter drop
ped. This was eight years ago, but he
has not wholly eradicated this feature
of his character. Within the last few
months, when journalist who had OPP
posed him vigorously in all his cam
paigns accosted him with a simple,
"How are you, Governor" he answer
ed with a blow from his fist which left
Its mark on the face of the man who
had presumed to offer him a friendly
salutation.
The new Senator has a marked indi-
viduality that is sure to make him
prominent figure in the Senate. His
enemies predict that his temper will

of popularity and effective organiza-

The celebration Of centenaries, which
began vigorously in this country in
1875, with the centenary of the battle
Of Lexington, and has been proceed
ing at lively rate ever since, is be-
lieved by some good people to be
growing tiresome, and they call for
a halt. If the practice Is stopped, II
will be because formal celebrations
have become monotOnous, not because
the list of important centenaries has
reached an end. The year 1903 was
prolific Of events deserving Of recol-
lection If not Of celebration. So far
as the United States is concerned the
greatest event of 1903 was the Louisi-
ana purchase. That transaction dou-
bled the original area of the nation
and confirmed it's destiny of grandeur
to which the revolution only opened
the way. The territory thus peace
fully acquired by President Jefferson
from France for the nominal sum of
$15,OOOOO0, or less than $12 square
mile, extended from the Gulf of Mex
leo to Canada and from the Mississippi
pi to the Rocky Mountains. Jefferson
made the purchase without authority,
and there were critics who denounced
The Louisiana Purchase Centenary

worlds fair projected upon such a
scale that it cannot be got ready till
1904. Ohio was admitted to statehood
on the 10th Of February, 1903. It was
in the same year that the Miami Ex-
porting Company opened the first
bank in Cincinnati. The twelfth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States was submitted to the
States for ratification or rejection on
the 18th of December, 1903 It RENE

which had been laid bare by the mar
row escape from trouble when Burr
instead of Jefferson might have been
made chief executive Of the nation in
1901. There are some people who sup
pose strikes to be Of very recent
origin. They are wrong. New York
City had its first experience Of labor
strike in 1903. A number of sailors de-
manded an advance from $40 month
to $14, and marched~about the city
compelling other sailors to join them.
New York was small place then. Its
population in 1900 had been 10000.
The strike and the violence accom-
panying it created CONSERVATION till
it's leaders were arrested by consta-
bles and lodged in Jail.

Fixed Dates.

Routine is exceedingly strong in Rus
sia. There is day in June upon
which, says tradition, it becomes safe
to battle in the rivers, after the winter
freeze. No matter how warm the
water may be earlier, no matter how
cold it may be on that day, then is the
time to take the first swim. Other fixed
dates are mentioned in Ivan at
Home" by Herbert Barry. OF course
the statements do not apply to all Rus
sians but to the average peasant only.
No man dare touch an apple before
the sixth Of August, however ripe the
fruit may really be before that day.
He does not believe it is fit to eat.
The village sportsman, although he
may have observed the blackcocks
fighting among themselves unusually
early, owing to the warmth of the
spring, cannot make up his mind to
shoot them until the appointed day has
arrived.
No traveller will start on journey
on either Monday or Friday.
Although the delay is strongly
against his own interests, the fisher
man will not cast his nets before a GER
tain day, whether the season be late
or early.
No lamb is supposed to be able to
reach the age of mutton should it have
been born before the day named in the
peasants calendar. And so on through
all the common events in their daily
life does this attachment to fixed dates
