WILD LIFE OBSERVATION.
Few Persons Can Describe Accurately
What They See in the
Creatures.

Good observers are probably about as
rare as good poets, says John Burroughs,
in "On Humanizing the Animals" in
Century. Accurate seeing-an eye that
takes in the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth-hOw rare indeed it is.
SO few persons know or can tell exactly
what they see; so few persons can draw
a right inference from an observed fact;
so few persons can keep from reading
their own thoughts and preconception
into what they see; only a person with
the scientific habit Of mind can be trust
ed to report things as they are. Most OF
us in observing the wild life about us,
see more or see less Of the truth. We
see less when our minds are dull, or
preoccupied. or hiuntcd by want Of in
terest This is true OF most country peO-
pie. We see more when We read the lives
of the wild creatures about us in the
light of our human experience, and i'm
pute TO the birds and beasts human mo-
tives and methods. This is TOO often
true of the eager city man OF woman who
sallies out into the country 10 study ma
ture.
The tendency to sentimentalize nature
has in our time. largely taken the place
of the old tendency 10 demonize and
spiritize il. 1t is anthroT0morphism in
another form. less fraught with evil to
US, but equally in the way of clear
understanding of the IL about us.

The G. DIS Sputterings.

In its persistent and hilarious
asininity the Globe proceeded on
Friday to declare that Folk had
defeated his party. Thus:
"His touch was fatal to every
one of his associates, and be
pushed down to defeat even the
Nestor of the party, Senator Cock
rell."
Whereas, the plain truth is that
Folk was an advantage and pulled
far more than his own load in
Tuesdays election.
Folk received the entire Demo.
cratic vote everywhere and ran
ahead of his ticket.
Had there been Il weak candi-
date Mt the bead of the ticket, it
would have suffered fate even
worse
The fact that Folk ran so strongly
helped the remainder of the ticket,
1t is the evident truth that many
of the Democratic votes which were
east for the ticket are attributable
to Folks attraction. With Folk
on the ticket, many Democrats
were drawn to the polls who would
not have been drawn otherwise,
Folk ran ahead of his ticket, not
beeause Democrats scratched the
remainder, but because he received
many thousands OF Republican
votes, The figures prove it.

THE BUCKET SHOP.
1t Is Getting Attention From
the Officers.

Auuf0ln county readers or tie
MESSAGE will be interested in the
following article taken from the
Columbia (Mo.) Tribune:
IF Frank Harris does nothing
but break up the bucket shop sys.
TENS at Centralia and Sturgeon, i"
remarked a north Boone banker to
the Tribune man, "he has earn
ed the emOluments of his office, for
the time to come" This was said
the past May when the bucket shop
iniquity was hourishing i'm all its
vigor in Centralia and Sturgeon.
The Tribune man CLEANED some
interesting facts from Mr.. Harris
in an interview yesterday after
noon.
The bucket shop man" said
Harris, is usually a telegraph
operator of pleasant address and
plausible personality who believes
in getting more money than his
craft will bring him. Men of this
sort are invariably selected by the
commission houses, as the whole
stock of the shop consists of
small room, pine table cheap
blackboard,a a telegraph instrument
with connections and an unlimited
amount of unisOlated nerve. Then
the operator is ready for business
and the unwary and greedy swarm
around him like flies at the bung-
hole of cider barrel. 1t is the
gambling instinct pure and sim
pie; and you find it in men who
have regulations as keen dealers
and straight citizens. have case
IN mind now illustrative of this
which yen will perhaps remember.
A wealthy stock buyer not far
from Centralia went to circus
where he saw the ancient shell
game. In a fever Of excitement
he rushed to town, got $7J and
put it upon the swiude. He lost
his money and raise a loud howl
1t is the same old desire to get
something for nothing which is
back of the bucket shop"
when | first instituted an in
Quiry, resumed Mr.. Harris after a
brief pause, "a number of persons
told me that | could not get at the
bucket operators. I had taken the
step at the request Of the bankers
and business men who assured me
that the habit was demoralizing
the community, so kept up the
investigation. The operators,
Hudson and Mason, both of whom
were at Sturgeon, fought the cas-
es; but Mason finally plead guilty,
and the Donovan commissi on
company for whom he worked
promptly paid his fine. Huds on,
who had gone to Audrain, com
promised by paying a fine of $3.50
The plea of the bucket shop men
is that their business is perfectly
legitimate, aud that their patron
simply waive the right of delivery
If any man is simpleton enough to
suppose that he can buy wheat ,
corn or consolidated stocks thru
such agency or that any such
stocks are actually sold 10 him, in
themselves or in option upon the
right to purchase them, he Is Il
down right fool. 1t is swindle
from start to finish and | intend to
make Boone county an unhealthy
place for such operations"

mated that the number of visitors will

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
PREPARE CAMP PA|GN
Plan to Flood Russia With
Literature and Rejoice
Over Plehye's Death

BERLIN, July 29-The Social DEM
ocrats held meeting tonight to re-
ceive the report of Herr Liebknecht,
Democrats who were tried recently at
Koenigsberg on charge of sending
anarchistic literature into Russia. Four
thousand persons, including many
Russians, attended. The hall was filed
an hour before the meeting began, and
5000 persons were turned away.
After reviewing the trial Herr Lieb-
knecht declared it was the duty of
German Socialists to assist their Rus
sian comrades, and said that he would
neglect no opportunity to send them
printed matter. Herr PaetZel, one of
those condemned at the recent trial,
made similar declaration.
Herr Liebknecht then proposed that
the social democratic statutes be re-
vised by the addition of a clause max
ing it the duty of every member of the
party to send to Russian socialists
printed matter that was allowed in
Germany, in order to prevent future
prosecutions for alleged membership
in secret society.
Herr Liebknecht spoke in the harsh
est terms of the late Russian minister
of the interior, Won Plehve, character
izing him as the bloodhound of Wilma,
whose hands are soiled by the blood of
hundreds of thousands of working
men," There was prolonged applause
when the speaker declared that he saw
Russians embrace, kiss and weep for
JOY when they heard the news of the
minister's assassination.

10000 HARVESTERS
NEEDED FOR CROP
N. P. Issues Circular Showing Where
and When Hands Are Wanted

The Northern Pacific has issued a
circular showing the number of farm
hands. approximately, that will be re-
quired to harvest the crops along the
lines of the Northern Pacific tributary
to this city.
The circular also gives the rate of
wages paid in each locality and the
time the harvesting will begin.
The dates mentioned in the circular
run all the way from Aug. 1 to Aug.
30, and the localities lie from a few
miles west of here to the western
boundary of North Dakota.
The number of men needed to harvest
the crops is well above 10000, and the
wages range from $3.50 at Tower City
and Sanborn, n. D., to $3.50 in dozen
other localities.
The rush for tickets has already
commenced as far as inquiry and prep
aration are concerned, and all the roads
are looking for tremendous press of
harvester business during the coming
week
