Discussing the question of college
education, the Cedar Rapids Gazette
concludes that mo man secures an
education in four years. All that the
greatest college can do is to point the
way, and the student must travel thai
way alone and under his own guidance.
The first thing he will actually learn
is that some of the impressions drawn
from books were not correct" =.
The GAINESVILLE Star does not think

Hack of real contact of ideas between

Each club is satisfied, selfish. absorbed

Their efforts are too diffuse. lacking eff

A WONDERFUL CADDY.
eagacfOus Greyhound Trained to
Carry Playing Sticks for Young
Woman Golfer.

Bob is the name of the intelligent
greyhound that has been trained as a
golf caddy by Miss Maud Pottle, of New
York city. The dog is"rapidly becoming
the pride of the members of the Marine
and Field club, and his picture will soon
be framed and hung on the walls Of the
clubhouse. Miss Pottle has taken steps
at Washington to patent the harness by
which the animal is able to carry the
clubs securely, for the plan is practical
enough to be extensively copied.
Bob was entered in the Brooklyn dog
show and bids fair to become one of+the
best known CANNES in the country. He
Is only Is months old, and was brought
from North Dakota when he was a
puppy by Charles Pottle, a New York
merchant. He is a handsome animal,
buff colored, with large yellow optics,
that recall the gem known as tiger eye.
He is already as big as the majority OF
his breed, He was bought of Dakota
rangers. Unfortunately his pedigree
list has been lost by his new owner.
Bob is a peculiar dog Except on
warm nights he insists on sleeping on

PARROT TALKED BASS.
Bird ResOrted to Clever Ruse to Am1'
tate His Masters Voice Almost
to Perfection.

The Epworth Herald gives the follow
ing instance of the ingenuity of par
rot in mimicking it's masters bass
voice:
The parrot, it seems, began, as soon as
it was bought, to learn to mimic the
voices of the household of my friend. 1t
mimicked the contralto voice OF the mis-
tress, the treble voice of the young son,
the soprano voice OF the daughter, and
the Irish voice Of the cook; but the
heavy and deep bass voice OF the mas
ter it was quite unable to cope with. 1t
would practice for hours at time, but
it could not produce from its throat the
deep, hoarse sounds that it desired.
Therefore, the family was astonished
one day to hear the parrot mimicking
the masters voice exactly. They sat in
the dining-room. The bird was in the
hall in its cage. Distinct and loud the
sounds came from the hall to them, q
thunderous and rolling bass voice, say
ing:
Bring me the evening paper"
Some one went out and looked at the
parrot. Its head was hidden in it's seed
CUP. and it was making it's voice reson-
ant by speaking from within the seed
cups hollow. And always now, when
it wants to speak in bass voice, 1t puts
it's head in it's seed cup. Isn't that
proof of the almost human Intelligence
of the bird?

ANOTHER "NATURE". BOOK.
In Which Bridget SetOn-C1ancy Re-
lHtes Tales of Her Intimacy
with Wild Animals.

"Wild Brutes l Have Saw" by Bridget
Seton Clancy This charming group of es-
says has about it the odor of the backwoods
to remarkable degree, says the Milwaukee
Sentipel.
The authoress explains, in the preface,
that her early life was spent in the wilde
of northern Minnesota, where she associated
almost entirely with wild animals. She
says:
"Many times used to set under tree
for hours at time, watching for to get q
shot at rabbit. could shoot good with
a rifle, and have often saw men W no were
worse shots than be. When the other girls
were wasting their time going to district
school, I would be walking through the
woods, watching the wild beasts playing in
the trees and on the grass and learning
something every minute. l seen lots OF
funny incidents, which will try to mention
in this here book"
Miss Seton-C Clancy is one of those. free,
untamed souls who occasionally startle the
literary world by their supreme disregard
for the statute in such case made and pro-
vided If she is ever worried by the rules
of grammar, it does not appear in her work
She has some thing to say, and says it straight
from the shoulder.
This is one of the best books Of the year,
and it should enjoy large sale.

Bum Is n Police Dog.

Bum may not Aave been very nice
name, but he is held in high esteem by
the patrolmen attached to an uptown
station house in Philadelphia. Bum is
police dog through and through. He
begins work with the first OUT squad.
When it lines up for roll call and inspec-
ton at midnight he inspects it as thor
oughly as the sergeant or lieutenant. He
walks up and down the rank, looks each
man over, barks his satisfaction and
/ then trots out with the first pair of
marching patrolmen. Then he goes
through the duties of a roundsman. He
travels from beat to beat, waiting on
corners until he finds each man. He
barks friendly greeting then and trots
off. He won't recognize as friend a
policeman from another district, even
though the man be only across the street
from the dogs headquarters. Bum
sleeps awhile after that, then goes out
with the eight-o'clock squad and the
four~o'clock squad. The dog can do all
sorts Of acrobatic tricks. TOO.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. IL LELAND vii.
Hanson, M. d.. one of the cleverest ply
sicians, has made a. statement, endorsing
Dodds' Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
them in his daily practice in preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for a physician to pub
licly endorse ything in the shape Of a
patent medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
AFTER twenty years. practice in a sickly
and malarious country have come to the
conclusion that it is always best to use the
remedy that will relieve and cure my pa
tents whether ethical or not.

THREE DREAMS.

Il had the very strangest DREAM
Said Jasper John, last night.
I dreamed the moon and all the stars
Were shining just as bright,
And yet the sun was shining, too.
And l was racing Ted,
While everybody else We knew
Was sound asleep in bed"
II dreamed" said little Theodore,
about IL monstrous horse
With twenty legs and lots Of tails go,
(He b'longed to me. of course).
His eyes were green; the rest OF him
Was yellow streaked with black; ~,
And nobody in all the world
But me could mount his back"
Their father, mother and their aunt
Agreed that these two dreams
Were very queer; but Bobby said:
''The one I had, it seems
To me, S the queerest CT them all.
I saw boy who said
He hated football and he wished
He'd been a girl instead"'

1t was through an accident that Bob
became caddy. One hot day last sum-
mer Miss Politics. red golf Jacket became
uncomfortable, and she tied it on Bob's
back He carried it so nicely that the
notion of club bearing soon suggested
itself to her, and leather harness was
speedily devised. The first few times on
the golf links Bob was led by a string,
but he stood so quietly that the cord
was soon dispensed with. But round

like horse as soon as the street is
reached. The minute the tools are put
away in the locker room Bob trOts home
contentedly behind Miss Pottle, wheth-
er she walks, cycles or drives.
The animal knows when she is ready
to start golfing and backs up contented-
ly to have the harness put on him. He
carries three clubs on each side. In
.3w days leathern pouch will be made
to strap around Bob's breast. so that he
can carry several golf balls.
The Marine and Field club members
think that Bob is more than the equal
of Lillian Russell, the cat belonging to
the neighboring Dyker Meadow Golf
club. Lillian, recently the subject of a
newspaper article, frequently dives into
the pool near the clubhouse and catches
fish for her kittens.-WashingtO Star.

Intrepid Men Make . Business OF

and IenaGeries.

Animal dealers Keep expert amman
catchers in all parts of the world. The
Hagenbecks have established two col

ship their catches, and when sufficient
number of animals has been gathered
they are transported to Hamburg,
whence they are sent to all countries OF
the world One firm has % representa-
tives abroad, all of them experienced In
trapping and shipping the widest and
most ferociOus beasts.
Tigers and occasionally lions are
caught in pits, and leOpards, panthers,
jaguars and the like in traps. Zebras
are extraordinarily hard to secure, and
are proportionately valuable. The emu
is taken in Patagonia by the natiH es,
who use the South American lariat. A
'hippopotamus, crocodile or a rhinoc-
eros is not caught by the agents OF ami
NAL firms, but is usually found in the
possession of the rajahs and other pro-
vincial rulers in Cochin China, Nera and
Siam. They keep them just as people
in this country keep kennel, and they
love to show them off to visitors.
All animals are towards, according to
the agents. Unless a tiger or lion. or
indeed any wild beast, has tasted human
blood, he is quite ready to let you 60
your way if you will let him 60 his. In
captivity, the agents say, you may enter
any cage provided you have your whip
with a lead bullet on the end in your
hand, and provided also that you know
how to use it effectively. But the least
lack of vigilance means destruction.
You might tend an animal for years
and have him know you we'll, but t!sat
would not insure you against an attack

st. Petersburg, Sept. 10, 2 a. m.-The
reports that Gen. Kuroki is pushing on
northeast of Mukden are not borne out
by official kilograms received here. Ac-
cording to the latest advices, the Japa-
nese forces continue to increase at
Bianiupuza and Yentai. A decisive
advance in the direction of Mukden is,
therefore, not expected to occur for
some days. Meanwhile, indications
increase of the probability of the jap
anese meeting with resistance, The
Russian forces at Mukden undoubted-
ly are very large and every days de-
lay enables the commander to perfect
his defenses.
Sakhalien make no mention of devel-
opments there, and the long promised
Japanese operations against Sakhalien
and Vladivistock, which were expected
to act as a diversion for Gen. Kuroki's
advance, are not yet in sight.
The disarming of the Lena at San
Francisco is accepted here as having
been inevitable, in view of the consid-
cradle length of time required to re-
pair the vessels boilers. The Russ
editorially points out that the United
States declaration of neutrality ex-
pressly provides for vessels of a belli-
gerent using American ports for need
full repairs, but admits that Russia
could scarcely expect to be allowed to
keep a warship eight months in neu-
trail port without disarming.
