THE REAL FIGHT.

It was on the amendment to Section
IL, or the proposed amendment by the
committee, raising the fash-test from
120 to 40 degrees, that the real fight
was made. McCandless, who was hav-
ing field day of defeat, made a
speech in favor of the bill, saying that
he had learned that the companies SELL
ing oil here had agreed upon a test of
140 uegrees, once, and that they had
then changed base. He pleaded that
there was grave danger in low-grade
oils, and said that the people should
be protected by the high-fiash test,
which would really prove more profit
able for everybody, even the planta-
lions.
"The only thing sought to be accom-
Dlished by raising the test of oil used
in this Territory is to create a monop-
oily" said Bishop. "That is all there
is to it,
Hewitt spoke as a user of oil in ia
vor of the high test, and Kalama spoke
as a user of oil for the low figure. And
both gentlemen claimed to know some
thing about oil. The vote then came on
the motion to adopt the committee IS
| report favoring a test of 140 degrees,
and it was lost on a show of hands,
to 7.
81 vote to leave the test at 120 de-
grees," said President Isenberg.
Consideration of the bill continued
then without any matter of special
moment arising. A determined effort
was made to have the bill referred
| just before the reading was finished,
thereby killing it, but this failed and
the bill passed second reading. 1t
was then referred to the Revision
Committee to have its inconsistencies

RAPID TRANSIT FIGHT.

At the morning session it was that
the Senate got into a fight over the
speed of the RAND Transfer, rather,
that Senator McCandless got into
fight over it. The fight was on the
second reading of House Bill 225, reg
ulating the speed of street cars. A
motion to refer to the Public Lands
Committee failed, and Diekey moved
an amendment making the passage of
the bill dependent upon the approval
of Congress.
McCandless made a speech against
the bill. accusing the Rapid Transit of
lobbying and log-rolling to get the
Senate to pass a bill that was uncon-
stitutional.
cit is conceded by every person in
this community" he shouted, that
the Rapid Transit has not kept its
'oreement with the people of this Ter
ritory-has withheld money that be-
longs to the Territory"

to have il out to a finish with any
cross grained creatures in their charge.
Excepting the polar bear, the hyena is
the only brute / know of that never
gives in to a human being. He cannot
be whipped or caressed into decency.
He has no more use for jungle crea-
lures than he has for men.
1--WE had to lasso and tie down stiffiy
the hyena whose tongue and jaw / tore
badly with the elephant hook, so that
he might be treated and saved. His
mouth was forced and kept apart by
narrow block of metal about two inches
thick, and for several weeks we had to
feed him by means of tube. He got
thin and red eyed and looked to mean
to live. He is now kept by himself.
and his food is showed into his cage
by means of a long handled pan.
THE hyena makes me think of a
man who has his hand always raised
against the world. Nobody likes him,
and he is always a picture OF COM
plant. He is a bundle of nerves and
always on the go. and shows his livid
gums and threatening teeth to every
living thing that comes within his
sight.
Il have never known him to show
any signs of quiet or comfortable in
terest in any other beast. He flies into
a rage when any other kind of an ami
NAL is brought within close range. and
would fight crazily anything that
breathes and walks il he got the
chance.
THE hyena Is not liked much better
by the general public than by my men.
During the circus season few people
loiter in front OF his cage. II a per-
son is nervous IT is just as well, for
he is as restless as the storm swept sea
and usually snarling or splitting in
rage.
Il had a high strung fellow working
for me once who never could pause be-
fore the cage of hyenas without getting
into an almost fainting condition from
overwrought and uncomfortable nerv-
GUS excitement. The young man was a
fine character and had that something
which made good feeling for him in all
the other wild animals.
Ringing Bros. will not permit any
man to work about the animal quar-
ters who is not as cool and passive as
the beam of an oak log. They hold,
and l agree with them, that the ami
mails themselves are tensely nervous
and require just the opposite in any
| human nature with. which they must
| mingle.
IF there is a dark part in the tent
/ locate the hyena den there. At winter
| quarters they are put off by themselves
and left severely alone. This treatment
| Is the best medicine for their mean
natures. None OF the men care about
them.

his obligations, then he must ride back
over the long and often rough and mud
dy roads.
Preaching is not his only task. Six
months in the year re teaches a country
school. Five days each week he trains
the mind of the American youth. But
that is not all. He owns a farm. which
he cultivates in the RUNNER season. He
raises corn and wheat and hay and oats
and live stock. When he returns home
from his preachin- tour or from his la
bors in the school room there is plenty
OF work for his hands to do-feeding the
stock, chopping wood and doing the thou
sand and one other things which must
be done on every farm.
There is no school on Saturdays. but
II Is the law OF the country Baptist
Church that a religious service. combined
with a business meeting, must be held on
Saturday So the preacher must leave
his home bright and early Saturday morn
ing and ride twenty miles away to his
church. On Sunday mornings at IL o'clock
he breaches his principal sermon. Except
in the revival meetings there is no night
service. When the congregation is dis
missed the country parson goes to the
home Of some member of his flock for
his dinner and then wends his way
homeward again. seldom reaching there
until long after darkness has overtaken
him. Thoroughly tired out he lays down

plow must not look back. 1t is forward
and onward, living strictly up to the
moral code in every sense. Brother Jones
must not cheat Brother Smith in a horse

Only once in great while does a MEM
Der depart from the straight and narrow
path good story is told OF an old
brother who was pillar In one Of the
churches In his younger days he had
been somewhat reckless and the working
out OF a complete reformation was most
difficult task He would smile upon the
fluid that beads in the glass occa-
ionally, and even the rigor of his religion
had not completely demolished his love
for the dance. 1t must not be forgotten
that dancing Is a pleasure which the
strict religionistS Of the rural districts
do not tolerate. There was a German
settlement nearby where dancing and
drinking cider We're the principal forms
of amusement. The old Baptist found
himself at German ball one night
slightly under the influence of something
stronger than water He watched the
sturdy country boys swing the rosy
checked German girls around the room
with increasing interest, keeping time
with his feet to the lively music of ths
violin.
Finally the old Baptist could stand II no
longer. The hour hand OF his life had
been turned far back and he was young
again-for a moment. He flung off his

hooked to a nail In the wall he looked

l lost one Of my best men through this
fear.
The nervous creatures looks the
part of a low nature. His eyes are
close set, his forehead narrow and the
lower part of his face has little to it but
a mouth, which is long and thin Tipped.
His teeth are like rivets of steel and
sharpened to a point. On each side of
his jaw are two overgrown molars and
pair Of inciSorS, with hooklike tops
that mean destruction to anything
they touch in anger.
Usually the hand that feeds an
animal is safe, but in the hyena ma
ture all hands look alike. One of my
men, round and jolly chap who knew
no fear and was liked by every beast
in the collection, for awhile got on well
with Snarling pair of these restless
beasts, and even got so far as to pat
them on their narrow pates and short,
twitching necks. The boys warned
him to be careful, but he laughed at
them.
This rugged German did seem TO
have some kind of power over strange
jungle creatures. He could stroke the
arched, overhanging nose of tapir and
make its eyes close in soothing Ian
guor. When he left off in this caress-
ing the tapir would actually weep. big,
rolling teardrops showed that 1t w4s an
honest emotion. He was the only man
who could go near a baby elephant
born at Baraboo, Wis, for weeks after
it was born without the mother cut
ting up high jinks and turning the
whole menagerie into a bowling and
nerve grating chorus.
The hyena, though, lived up to his
reputation He was only playing pos
sum with his human friend. One sun
ny morning, when the kindly German
had his back turned, the low lived
whelp slammed his extended right paw
Into the keepers shoulder and cruelty
tore his flesh down to his thigh. The
man was overcome by the fierce charge
and fell face downward
Luckily l was near at the time, and
grabbing an elephant hook, l iabbed
the enraged cur between the tender
joints of the front leg. This made him
vince and recoil and make a savage
grab at the Furnishing weapon. He got
the hook in his mouth and I gave 1t a
| cruel twist. 1t tore his tongue and jaw
and made him let go. This diversion
gave my men time to draw the wound
| ed keeper out of danger. The poor
fellow was in the hospital for several
months, and to this day wears a GRIM
son scar down his side. He Is just as
| fearless as ever. however, and IL l did
not forbid him going near the hyena
dens he would probably get into worse
trouble and maybe get killed.

Origin of Hard She'll"

-
Hard Shelf Is a term ap-
piled to some classes OF Baptists
on account OF their pronounced re-
ligious views 1t originated about
1885. when a number OF Bap-,
list churches or Itra-Calvinistic
Il faith withdrew from the prin-
2 cipal organization and called
themselves Primitive, or Old
a School Baptists. They soon be-
!. came popularity known as "Hnrd

The first real Baptist Church
was established In America by
