ty Close to Thinking.
They were talking about instinct In
animals. 81 saw an exhibition OF
greediness and cunning by a horse"
said one Of them. There were two
old dirt wagon horses that had
stopped for the noon meal. The driv-
er had emptled a portion of oats into
a wheelbarrow set at the head of the
two horses, who still remained in the
traces. The horses we're to eat out of
the common mess.
"Old Mr.. Bay Horse, who evidently
was a veteran in the dirt wagon line
and possessor Of a good appetite,
would grab a mouthful of oats and
splitter them out on the ground on
his side of the wheelbarrow. After
he had collected quite pile on the
ground he commenced on the common
stock, and when he and his compan-
ion had cleaned out the wheelbarrow
old Mr. Bay Horse turned to his priv
ate store on the ground, while his
companion, from the other side of the
wagon pole looked hungrily on, but
could do nothing
81 was travelling in the mosquito
country last month" said the other,
"and the mosquitoes were terrible.
They attacked cattle and live stock
and would drive them frantic. At one
place farmer was burning brush In
the field, and I noticed a dozen cows
and horses clustered in the lee of the
smoke made by the burning brush.
They would move around as the wind
shifted, always keeping in the smoke
drift, where, of course, no mosquito
could live. And the animals stood
with closed eyes, too"

M'BRIEN TALKS TO STUDENTS
Speaks Highly of Work of the New
School.

KBARNEY-StateS Superintendent J..
l.. McBrien spent day at the Normal
school. He was most enthusiastically
greeted at chapel and addressed the
school, exhorting the students and fac
ulty to remember and not despise the
day of small things. He spoke highly
of the work he observed in progress
IN the various classes and contrasted
the ancient method of completing a
school building and then watching,
waiting and praying for students to
enter, with the present approved plan
Of students appearing on the ground in
time to study the architecture of the
building during the process of con-
strction. Mr.. McBrien gave a lucid
exposition of the new school law
relative to the qualifications of teach
ers and county superintendent, and
urged the proper preparation on the
part of Normal students to meet the
new requirements.

What do You Say?

Etitor Times:-Trusling in your n H. irgness to make public, shall venture a few suggestions, winch, if fol owed, will, in my judgment, relieve the sc.ti- zens of our town and community of il great nuisance. There is not day that passes but what there are one or more tramps or vagabonds at the doors of the prominent houses in our town often able-bodied men and boys who are as able to make d living as any one. Yet they are satisfied to beg in community where workmen are sore ly needed.
 Why should we be compelled to SUD- port these people? Gan there not te some plan devised whereby worthy per sons may receive aid from those who are disposed, and the people relieved of so many imposters.
 The following is my idea: Let us petition the council to pass an ordi nance establishing City Board oi Charities, and make it so that when a person wants to beg from our citizens he shall have to go before that Board or a representative of that Board, and get permit, which would entitl, him to ask assistance from eur people. If permit is refused him and he is seen again trying to fleece the people, let him te arrested for vagrancY.
 If the above could be set in operation think all of us would be relieved of an extremely annoying thing. If you think these ideas are worthy of publl- cation, l should be glad to see them in yeur paper. Respectfully,
