The Hiuhest waterman.

For a long time the highest known
waterfall in the world was Cerosola
cascade, in the Alps, having a drop
of 2,400 feet. But waterfall in the
San Cuayatan canyon in the state of
Durango, Mexico, now claims first
place. 1t was discovered by some
prospectors ten years ago in the great
barranca district which is called the
Tierras Desconocidas. While search.
ing for the famous lost mine, Naran'
jail, a great roar of water was heard.
With mich difficulty the party pushed
OH and up the mighty chasm until
they beheld the superb fall, which is
said to be not less than 5000 feet high.

NIT our goods to enter free. or course

1t Is not difficult to account for when

terests. Then, too, 1t was jealous of
the Northern industries, and preferred
to patronize the foreigner. Once this
was fastened upon the party, this
party was true to the tradition, as Mr..
Cleveland says 1t ought to be, and
consequently fell good many years
behind the times in this as in other
things. Hence the party became COM
mitted to this dogma, or tariff for
revenue, which is the nearest APP
proach to free trade that any civilized
country has ever had. OF course, the

MOUSE SINGS LIKE A BIRD.
Rarely Accomplished Rodent Is Nov
Prisoner in Yorkshire, England.

Singing mice are rare, but a corre
spondent writes from Yorkshire ask
ing whether we can give him any in
formation about a specimen he cap
tured.
He adds: ut has been warbling just
like canary for the last month in our
workshop, and although | have 1t in .
cage it still continues to sing"
That mics do occasionally Sing" II
undeniable. Some observers say thai
their song is softer sweeter ani
more delicate than that of the canary
which one can believe quite easily
Others so so far as to compare 1t ia
that of a warbler or even piping
bullfinch. But the question as to why
they lift up their voices in this tune
full manner still remains to be an
swered.
Three explanations have been sug.
gested:
First, that all mice are potential
vocalists and can learn to sing, by
imitation, from singing birds.
Second, that many mice possess an
exceptional talent for mlmlcry, To-
gether with a keen sense of the ludi-
crous.
Third that some mice are subject
to bronchitis and that the so-called
song" is only the wheeling of rodents
which suffer from the distressing COM
plant.
A certain amount OF color is given
to the last theory by the fact that a
mouse which was caught by the
neck in a wire trap not sufficiently
strong to kill it sang" while its
throat was under compression, but
never again during its subsequent life
as a captive.-London Mail.

watched and waited, too. But if he
ever CHANGED to go by, the happy
chance of seeing him was not hers.
During the previous spring and sum-
mer, and even late into the autumn, 1t
had been different-once or twice In
every blessed week he had come to
gladden. the days, to set them in jew
eled frames in her memorys gallery.
Or If he had not, strictly speaking,
come to her, she had yet seen him;
happened to see him; been permitted
by kind fate to speak with him.
Not that he failed entirely to seek
her out. There was denying the han
diness of the small riverside house,
where she lived with her widowed
mother, as place to drop into" for
tea or restful chat"
The first time he had entered that
gate, humorously dripping object Of
compassion out of an overturned sail
ing boat, the almond tree against 1t
was pink with blossom, and he al
ways afterward associated her with
the fragile pink flowers, weaving
many dainty compliment for her
out of the sweet resemblance which
poetic fancy helped him to keep
vividly before him-at least, when she
was bodily before him also.
BY the time the almond tree was
thick with leaf, he had grown in in
timacy at the little riverside house to
the privileged point of inviting her
into his boat whenever, as sometimes
happened, he was bound to no special
destination.
She was so young, such child, such
an embodiment of April tears and
sunshine and all the intangible, mock
ing gaity of spring, to set against his
almost worldwide experience and his
ripening years.
So her influence on him was as
ephemeral as the flower of the almond
tree, delicately sweet while it lasted
but to be oyerpowered by the next
succeeding interest, just as the al
mond blossoms are overpowered and
scattered by every wind that blows. A
weather the night.
But, if all her charm was INSULT
cient to help her, it served, working
mysteriously against itself, to help
him and also to help one near to her.
Through her very immaturity of
mind, her youthful perfection of body,
in some strange way he seemed, after
a time, to reach appreciation of the
woman who had brought her into the
world-a woman who, in spite of her
undoubted conversational powers,
guarded her personality with jeal-
Gus armament of silence and reserve;
who seemed to shrink from any
friendship which gave a hint of curl
osity, or even of interest pressed ever
so slightly home.
Yet, for all her care, put her sue
cessfully off her guard, there would
leap at rare moments into her cul-
tured manner, a manner that he knew,
the light-hearted gaiety her daughter
had inherited, completed, made salts
flying, made real, by all that life had
taught her.
He grew to longing for those depths
eagerly, passionately, that he might
gain rest in them, summed there by
her lighter manner, sustained by her
truth and steadfastness.
One whom he looked on as a
child had led him, with a chiids sure
ness of touch within sight of the
worlds Greatest Good. He knew now
what his life had always lacked; he
faced his remedy. He was in love at

The agent at the station where the
stock is loaded will give no passes on
account of the stock. but must enter
upon the back of the contract the
names of the persons who are actual
ly entitled to pass free with the stock,
and such persons must affix their per-
sonal signatures to the blank spaces

The Press Says: "The shipment of
beef cattle, 1884 head, while consid-
erably less than the previous year ow-
ing to the low market price, shows
one of the ways in which the people
are utilizing the native grasses and
making our sheep grazing lands give
profitable returns.
western North Dakota holds the
palm for high prices on grass fed beef.
In 1902 all previous records were brok-
en- when a carload of the Harkins g.
year old native steers, weighing an
average of 14z4 pounds, sold at $740
per hundred live weight; but in 1903
prices were different. The Jensen ma
tives, weighing 1901 pounds, topped
the scales of the season at $5.05 per
hundred. The top prices Of the two
years are given to indicate the differ
ence in market values of the two years
and the falling off Of prices is one of
the causes for our people wintering
thousands of cattle which would other
wise have been marketed in 1903.
Then, too, in 1902 the remnants of big
outfits we're mostly gathered and ship
ped, thus leaving the range to the
smaller owners-those having from
100 to 500 cattle each-and who, in
many cases, were not expecting to
ship much the past season. The COM
ing season the cattle shipments will be
large, probably more than twice as
large as last season. ~ r Z
