President Roosevelt will win in the
battle Of ballots tomorrow. : If there
was ever any doubt about his carrying
New York, and probably every other
northern state, that doubt was re-
moved when Judge Parker, the demo-
cratic nominee for president, on Satur-
day night renewed and reiterated his
base SANDER upon Theodore Roosevelt
and this after the presidents vigor-
Gus, outspoken and direct denial of
all; the charges prev. ously made by
Judge Parker against the chief execu-
tive and the chairman of the republi-
can national committee. Judge Park
er stands before the American people
as dishonest, unfair and undignified
political antagonist. . The people like
fair play. Parker said there should be
no mudss.inging. That was the utter
ance of an insincere heart, the declara-
ton Of a hypocrite. Judge. Parker
now stands out. in bold relief as the
dishonest champion. the worthy figure
head of senseless, aimless, incompe-
tent and unsafe democracy. He will
go down to defeat before the righteous
judgment of patriotic people.

urally, occupy positions inferior to re-
pubMcans in legislative halls. This
is true of every state so far as the
subordinate party is concerned. What
does Bismarck and Burleigh county
want? A solid republican delegation,
that will be alive to the interests of
this county and able to achieve things :?
Or does it want an Independent and
democratic representation. that will
be able merely to sit by and see the
procession pass? 1t is not rejecting
upon the ability of the Independent
and democratic nominees to state this
fact. It Is the simple statement of a
hard fact It is up to the voters.
Burleigh county has many interests to
conserve and protects It has the state
capitol, the penitentiary. military
post, an Indian school in prospect. It
wants friendship. from the other legis-
lators. It wants to be factor in the
reelection of Senator McCumber. 1t
is purely a business proposition into
which personality and personal griev-
ance should not enter.

On the banks Of the Santa Ana river,

ony. It is situated in the cliffs which
rise above the surface of the river and
has multitude OF Inhabitants: In
passing along the river by daylight one
would not imagine that the cliffs were
inhabited, for the members of. the col
ony are fast asleep in the chambers
Of the cliffs. But at dusk; there is a
change. At every one of the openings
with which the cliffs are perforated APP

The tiny faces belong to a family

individuals are small. tits the family
Of Strix pratincola, or monkey faced
owl. So much do their faces resemble
those Of human features that they are
often called the human faced owl. In
the holes of the cliffs they pass their
days and rear their: young. At night
they emerge in flocks and search the
fields for mice, gophers and insects,
upon which they live. This owl does
not boot as do most owls, but utters
a low, chuckling whistle as it flies
about in search Of prey. = se'355*s.. II

English Military Method of Training
Them to Swim.
~ The most interesting and amusing Of
all the sights of Aldershot, England, is
the big reservoir, or lake, where $cav,
airy horses from oil parts of tile world
are trained to swim with a thorough
ness that rivals even the Italian system
Of horse training.
1t is well known, by the way, that
cavalry horses in the Italian army go
through almost as much training as
though they were intended for a circus,
and the writer has often been amazed
to see patrician Roman officers riding
their fine chargers down steep flights
Of stone stairs and down especially
constructed precipices which look as
though they were especially invented
to encompass the destruction of both
horse and rider. ...: e. ri, e.sr r
Again. the writer witnessed the az.
tonishing army maneuvers of the Ital-
ian troops in the river Arno at Flor,
ence and also at Spezzia, the great
naval arsenal of Italy. The Count OF
Turin was seen leading his regiment
"out to, sea- the prince, often dis
mounting and himself swimming with
one arm about his chargers neck IL
The newly received horses at Alder
shot, however, coming dis they do most
~ from inland regions, have: deep
seated objection to the water, and as
their riders are for the most part rscant-
lily clad indeed the struggles between
tutor and pupils" are lud1crous in the
extreme. If it is found absolutely
impossible to coax the animals into
water deeper than their knees or girths
collapsible boats are used and the re-
fractory animal dragged by main force
beyond his depth, when he has to swim
for dear life.-H. G. Roberts in Har

The Wise Judgment That Was SDeliv-
cred by Simple Seyny Jean.
Here is a story which has gone the
rounds Of three and half centuries. 1t
has been credited to- many writer's, but
was first told by Rabelais: ~
In Paris at roast meat cookery Of
the Petit Chastelet a certain hungry
porter was eating his bread and at the
same time shifting the reek and steam
turned on spit before great fire,
thereby gaining savory accompaniment
to his dry ration. * 49, ~ = sr.,rasjify}"
He, ate very slowly that he might en-
JOY the reeking, smoking SAVIOR as long
as possible, and when his penny loaf
had been consumed he attempted to de-
part. But the cook was not Of that
mind. The master Of the shop laid
hold upon him by the gorget. demand
ing pay for the smoke and steam of
the roast goose. The porter demurred
The. cook claimed that. q portion of the
meal had clearly been made from the
SAVIOR shifted up and swallowed. :.
~ CuduCSu Willie Tic U1SCuSSlOu was
going on that Seyny' Jean, the fool,
entered the shop. and the matter was
referred to him. 5>t'H, nj. = tll&rs I:
"Wilt thou submit to- the judgment
Of this good ,citizen?" asked the cook
aye, by the. blood Of the goose, that
WILL" answered the porter. -. ~
The story was then told, and tie case
argued. The fool listened attenttvely;
and In the end lie asked the porter to
let him take two pieces Of his money
The poor man drew from his fob two
pieces Of copper. Seyny Jean took
them and jingled them awhile between
his two hands, and then gave sthem
back whence hehad received them. Then
to the cook He said: a'The porter did
shell Of thy goose, and thou hast heard
the Jingle of his money Thou hast
thy goose intact, he hath his money, as
seemeth5 to me right and proper. And

Senator Hansbrough gave some good
advice to. republican, voters at the
republican meeting at the Atheneum
Saturday night. He showed the folly
of voting for Independent and demo
cratic legislative nominees by the per
son who has some personal grievance
against the republican nominees and
yet desires to cast his. ballot for the
reelection of Senator McCumber. He
pointed out, as, has been done before,
that republican senator will be
chosen by republican caucus. No
independent and democratic candidate
will be admitted to this caucus. The
republican voter, therefore, who de-
sires to vote for Senator McCumber,
and yet is Persuaded through personal
dislike or grievance to vote Tor the
independent democratic nominees -
practically throwing his vote away
