SOME LOCAL ANIMAL STORIES.

| Animals of various species have been re-
ported in singular experiences the past
| week Among them we note the following:
THE HORSE. While the teams were COP
gregated on Lewis wharf one day recently
waiting for the river steamers d passing
| train frightened d horse harneSSed to Jig
ger. The horse ran back despite the eff
forts of the driver, and hind wheel struck
one of pair OF hack horses. The latter
was thrown over the wheel and upon the
body of the jigger, but rolled Off with both
hind legs striking outward between the
spohes of the wheel. 1t was necessary to
remove the jigger wheel from the axle be-
fore the horse could be relieved AS it was
he was badly bruised and had very mar
row escape from one OF two broken legs.
HEIFERS. Three heifers belonging to a
farmer in Knox got out of their pasture
last week and into neighbours field. A
part of the field was planted last season to
potatoes and when the owner finished using
the Paris green on the vines he put the box
under a stump and covered it with another
box. Now the first thing those heifers did
when they got into the field was to hook
over that stump, get at that Paris green
and eat enough to produce fatal results.
SWINE. A shoat that had attained a
weight of about 200 pounds was the pride
of one of our local fruit dealers. One night
recently that shoat managed to demoralize
the fence of his pen to such an extent that
he departed to parts unknown, after which
said fruit dealer was unable to learn of
his whereabouts until an advertisement in
The Journal restored the shoat to it's own
er.
Doc. A valuable trained shepherd dog
owned by Percy Redman was the victim
few days ago of most dastardly act. The
dog was found one morning bleeding about
the mouth and evidently in great pain. An
examination by DR.. Darling showed that
the dogs tongue had been cut completely
out. The doctor humanely killed the ami
NAL to end it's sutferings.
CAT. Animals bearing this name usually
show considerable intelligence and good
sense but one in Belfast recently exhibited
depraved taste. A meat market, fish mar
ket and newly-papered billboard are in
close proximity. The feline in question
visited both the markets, at either of which
she could have secured good square meal
for the asking, or by steathy larceny, but
she deliberately walked out and ate the
surplus paste that had dropped to the
ground near the bill board.
RATS. The experience of certain animals
of the rodent family in dealing with paste
was more disastrous. A box of innocent
/ looking prepared paste in powder form
proved their undoing. They pushed off the
cover and ate from the contents of the box
The powder swelled when it met the
warmth and moisture of their stomachs
and the whole lot died of Indigestion with
,, in few feet of their supper table.

brick kiln, storehouses, offices, and
shops of all kinds. About $50 men are
employed in the quartermaster's de-
partment-carpenters plumbers, paint
ers, wheelwrights, blacksmiths, tin
smiths, etc., and numerous common
laborers. The latter are strong, young
Indian bucks, who are hired to do all
the harder labor of the post. Every
house has its little lawn and flower
beds, the verandas, porches and fences
are covered with rose vines, and there
are large vegetable gardens at the rear,
with stable and hen house in cOnjunc-
ton. The ladies and children all have
saddle ponies, and picnics and daily
rides to places of interest are always in
vogue, and with weekly dance and an
occasional theatrical entertainment or
minstrel show given by the soldier
troupe we while away the time very
pleasantly here in this glorious climate,
where there is little or no sickness and
the sun shines every day and all day.
This is certainly the ''land of sun
shine" and were it not for the rivers
and springs in the mountains, which
are turned into irrigating bitches cross
ing the country in every direction, we
should dry up and blow away, as very
little rain falls through the year, ex-
cept in the rainy season. which usually
begins in June, continuing at intervals
until September. Some years there is
considerable snow in the mountains,
and it is now unusually dry for lack of
it, there having been but a few light
snowfalls which vanished with the
monday sun and several summer
showers. From the White River we
obtain a good water system through
the post, and hot and cold water and
finely appointed bathrooms are an adj
junct to every house. In May we ate
our first crop of peas, beans, radishes,
luttuce, onions, etc, and now have
new potatoes, with a second relay of
garden sass well along. All the ter
ritory of Arizona needs is more rain
and extensive irrigation to make it one
one of the gardens spots of the earth
The climate is equal in every way to /
that of California and some of the /
grandest scenery in the world is locat- !
ed here. Nothing in foreign lands can
equal our grand canyon.

OBITUARY.

Saturday, June 18th, the "great summons"
came to one of the Oldest and always sim
cerely respected citizens of Stockton Springs,
Mr.. William Staples, after lingering ill
ness, from pulmonary consumption. The
deceased was born in Belfast, December IA.
1919. Oct. -. 1915, he married Miss Jane
Staples Of Prospect, now Stockton Springs,
and to this happy union three children
were given, only one of whom, Mrs. Evelyn
c. Jackson, survives to mourn the loss of
an always fond and exemplary father. AL
ways an upright, quiet and unassuming
personality, his genial greeting, ready wit
and good humor will be long missed upon
our streets BY his many friends, who ex-
tend the fullest sympathy to the bereaved
wife-his devoted companion for nearlyi59
years-in her irreparable loss. Two grand
daughters, Miss Mary Ella Staples and Miss
Erma Jackson, mourn this taking away of
an indulgent and watchful grandfather. To
all children the deceased was ever attracted
-"Uncle Billy" was always the friend who
took them on his express cart for ride,
chatting and laughing with them, willing to
wait for them to get on or from his car
riage, unless especially hurried. Few of
our younger generations will fail to remem-
Der their childhood rides upon his "team."
Surely, a good man has gone from our
midst The funeral took place bnday
afternoon at his late home on Church ST.,

sympathetic and comforting manner The
family desire to extend thanks to all neigh
bors who have so kindly given assistance

Our Mauchurian consn1s.

The United States having just appointed
some consuls to take station at the treaty
ports in Manchuria under the lately nego-
tiated treaty with China. a question has
arisen whether those officials will be accred-
tied to China or to Russia. The answer to
this question is of some moment and IL may
place the United States in position of
either affirming or denying Russia's right to
her present physical status In the province
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Telegraph, discussing the effect up
on the other powers of Russia's recent note
to the effect that it would respect existing
treaty rights, declares in late dispatch
that government officials have explained
that Russia admits China's right to con-
clude such treaties. but that all powers in
the exercise of the rights granted by them
in Manchuria must acknowledge the fact
that that country Is actually occupied by
Russian troops and cannot be treated as
IL its condition were normal. Therefore,
concludes the correspondent:
For this reason the American govern
ment will doubtless recognize the necessity

Snithson's Tomb.

The expectation evidently is that the
body of James Smithson, which is today
transferred from the steamer to the Smith
sonian Institution, will eventually be in
TERED on the grounds with an appropriate
architectural setting. 1t is quite true as
has been repeatedly suggested since the
enterprise of bringing the remains to the
United States was undertaken, that no
greater, finer or more conspicuous memorial
could possibly be erected than the red pile
which is known throughout the scientific
world as the first tangible fruit of his be-
quest. Few men have ever been accorded
finer tombstone, few could desire wider
post-mortem fame than the Smithsonian
accords through its great usefulness to
James Smithson, chemist.
But at the same time many Americans
desire that the tomb itself, the actual rest
ing place of Smithson's remains, shall be
so impressively indicated as to cause it to
occupy conspicuous place amid the capt.
tails features of interest. The fact that
beneath a slab or a monoiith. or within a
beautiful granite or marble structure rests
the dust of one whom men delight to honor
and whose influence still lives potent force
in the world, is always an inspiration to
the behoder. 1t is not to be doubted that
in the course of time the grave of Smith
son, even though plainly marked and OBJ
securely placed, would become shrine in
the eyes of all American scientists, who
owe to his benefaction the great impulse
which this government has given to the
pursuit of knowledge irrespective of it's own
practical needs.
The original trustees of Smithson's will
in creating the institution bearing his name,
wrought we'll when they chose the design
of the structure. Its resemblance to an
English castle was happy tribute to the
nationality of the founder. 1t betokened
age even when the mortar was moist from
the masons trowel. 1t was eloquent of
earnestness and the patience which marks
the true scientist. With peculiar fitness
1t suited the role assigned it and exerted
a certain influence upon the minds Of legis-
lators and others who had to do with the
gradual development of the idea it rep
resented.
Just so Smithsons tomb should be in
keeping with the great significance which
attaches now to his name. 1t should SYM
| bolize the dignity of the institution and
| the perpetuity of the work it is accom-
| plishing and the benefcence of the influence
it exerts. 1t is unfortunate that no anthem
tic portrait exists today of James Smith
son, else his actual features, sculptured in
stone or bronze, might, with entire APP
propria teness, crown the memorial Struc-
| ture. But in the absence of reliable data
| from which such portrait should be pro-
duced the tomb can yet be made eloquent
| of the man and his work

Senate committees on agriculture to adj
vance this movement Those in attendance
are from all parts Of the country and rep
resent all lines of professional and business
activity They are deeply in earnest In the
belief that substantial beginnings can only
be had through the medium of federal a3-
preparations 1t is the duty of the govern
ment, they aver. to show the states and the
counties the way, by actually making
series of good roads in all parts Of the
country, forming thus system of national
highways which will be both practical and
illustrative. The Department of Agricul-
ture has for some years at the experiment
stations been engaged in the prafseworthy
work of demonstrating to the farmers the
actual economy represented in the good
road. Time and again the fact has been
proved that on scientifically built and
conscientiously maintained highway more
produce can be moved to market in less
time with fewer head Of draught animals
than under the average condition Of the
roads. This proof has been concrete and
convincing, yet the awakening from the old
conservative, stingy lethargy has been slow
and at the present rate of progress many
years will pass before the highways Of
America begin to show any appreciable bet
terment 1t IS evident that If the federal
government does not take the initiative and
foster the work already undertaken by
few of the states this great enterprise, so
essential to the advancement of the coun-
try, will lag
