POINTS ABOUT TURTLES.
They Are Not So Much Like One An
other as Many People Think.

They Are Not SO Much Like One AL
other as Many People Think.
In moist places in the fields anu
meadows may be found the wood tor
toise a sober sort Of tuctta2'f brown
or reddish brown color above, the shell
having a ridge in its middle along the
back, says Nature Study. Each plate OF
the shell underneath has a black
blotch.
In mud holes and in small ponds, Of
ten resting on a log or stone above the
water, one may almost always find the
painted turtle, which has the margin
of the shell marked red, while the shell
underneath is yellow. These turtles
are not 80 easily captured as the wood
turtles, for they are rather timid and
often slip into the water when ap-
preached, but with patience and 1n-
genuity they can be outwitted ut last
and one secured for examination.
1t will be rare good fortune to find
turtle at a meal and see him hold his
food, sometimes with one fore foot,
sometimes with the other, but never
with both at once, as cats and dogs
often do.
After watching him for awhile try to
find whether he always draws his tail
In on the same side Of his box house.
Experiment with the same turtle over
and over; then sometimes try other tur-
ties in the same way and find out for
yourself whether turtles vary In this
matter of hiding away their tails. This
is more important than you can imag-
Inc. If all the animals and plants OF
the same sort were always the same
there would never be any change In
the living world.
Count the toes on the fore feet and
on the hind feet, noticing whether
there are the same number all around.
As you find other turtles, particularly
in different parts Of the country, If you
travel about, or In such museums as
you can visit, see what differences you
can find in this matter Of the number
and arrangement Of turtles toes. 1t is
not so silly as it may appear to some
people. Notice also that some turtles
have webbed feet, to enable them to
swim the better.
Manage In some way to open the tur-
ties mouth and find whether It has
teeth, or only hard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the jaws. Touch
the eyes gently with a small stick aud
see the turtle draw thin skin over
them. This is the third eyelid, the same
as in hens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tail are COW
cred with scales; then some time exam
inc the foot Of hen or pigeon and see
that they are scaly also. In this mat
ter of the third eyelid and the scales
the birds and the turtles have features
In common. Perhaps some time you
will learn how it happened and will
find it q very interesting story.-NeW

Gently gotten a stranger into thru a

came along by Willis place trailing a
specimen of the horse kind that was
SO badly knocked out further progress
was out OF the question. In response
to a query as to whether he had any
trading stock, Will brought out an
old gray trotter that was a mighty
peart sort of a boss twenty-seven
years ago last spring, and a bargain
was soon struck. A good judge Of
horse flesh places the value of the two
equines at $7.lS, but each man was
satisfied he had made $6.93 by the
trade. The stranger came on to Sum-
NIT with his new treasure where it was
recognized as a horse that had got
away from Ole Bakken fourteen
months ago and which Will had taken
up and gained legal title to under the
estray law. Instead of going down to
see Will about the matter, Mr.. Bak-
ken listened to some untimely advice
and replevied the horse. This soon
brought Will into the game and he
came to town to show cause why he
should not be hung for horse stealing.
He exhibited proof that he had fully
complied with every provision of the
law IN taking up the animal as an es-
tray and had gained legal title to it.
Mr.. Bakken saw the point and gave up
the horse, settling with the stranger and
paying the costs. And all for a five
dollar boss.
