John Burroughs, the naturalist, was
laughing about the story, widely pub
lished not long since, of wild duck
that got salt water mussel OIL its
tongue and had intelligence enough to
| fly from the salt to the fresh water,
where it dipped the mussel, sickening
| it through osmosis, and thus causing
1t to loosen its firm grip.
II believe that story of the duck
that understood the theory of osmosis,"
said Mr.. Burroughs. Il believe it as
implicitly as believe the story of the
crippled lion and the young lieuten-
ant
No? Well, then:
"a young lieutenant, during an AZ
rican campaign, came one day upon a
badly crippled lion. The great brute
limped over the tawny sand ON three
paws, holding its fourth paw in the
air. And every now and then, with
kind Of groan, it would pause and
lick the injured paw.
when the lion saw the young lieu
tenant it came slowly toward him. He
stood his ground, rifle in hand. But
the beast meant no harm. 1t drew
close to him; it rubbed against him
with soft, feline purrs; it extended
its hurt paw.
"The lieutenant examined the paw,
and found that there was a large thorn
in It. He extracted the thorn, the
lion roaring with pain, and he bound
up the wound with his handkerchief.
Then, with every manifestation of re-
lief and gratitude, the animal with
drew.
But 1t remembered its benefactor.
1t was grateful. And in a practical
way it rewarded the young man.
This lion ran over the regiments
list of officers, and ate all who were
the lieutenant's superior in rank Thus,
in few weeks. the young man, thanks
to the astute animal, became a colo

Discovered Plot to Free War Prisoners.
John n. UnvarSaw, second city mar
shal of indianapolis, died in this city
recently. He was marshal during the
civil war, and discovered one of the
pots of the knights of the Golden
Circle. who had planned To free the
Federal prisoners held in Indianapolis.
His death resulted from general
breakdown of health.
During the civil war indianapolis
was the scene of considerable rioting
by Southern sympathiZers, and it was
the central point in the plots of the
knights of the Golden Circle. During
the time that Mr.. Unversaw was city
marshal the knights made several at
tempts to free the prisoners held here.
Firearms We're shipped from Green's
burg to Indianapolis, intended for the
sympathizers.
An inkling of this scheme was gain
ed by Mr.. Unyersaw, and he went to
the old union freighthouse. where he
found quantity of boxes marked
Sunday school books" He deter
mined to investigate the shipment,
and hurried away to the city hall to
get attachment papers. On his return
to the freighthouse the boxes had dis
appeared.
He called at the home of dray-
man who hauled great deal of
freight. The man denied any knowl-
edge of the shipment of Sunday school
books. While Unversaw was still
questioning him the drayman's wife
came to the door and asked what the
trouble was.
HE is trying to find those boxes of
books said the man, speaking in
German.
Better tell me where they are
said Unversaw, also speaking in Ger
man. The drayman at once told him
where the books were. When the
boxes were opened they were found
to contain Sunday school books, but
packed carefully among them We're re-
volvers and rifles enough to supply
two thousand soldiers. The arms We're
cOnfiscated by the State.
Unversaw was friend of Governor
Morton. During the disturbances of
the time Unversaw was frequently
called on to assist in the plans of the
governor. He helped place the guards
at the State House when it was ex-
pected that the knights of the Golden
Circle would invade the city. Guards
were placed at all the windows, and
when the knights came. as was eX
pected, they turned about and went
back, realizing that it would be use
less to try to free prisoners.
Unversaw played a prominent part,
also. in the Quelling of the most Sc
rious riot of the times. when 5000
knights and their friends gathered in
the Governors Circle, now Monument
Place, to celebrate Southern vic
tory. Shooting occurred and three
men were killed. Unversaw made his
way through the crowd and seized the
man who had fired the shots. The
man wheeled on him and tried to fire
at him. Unversaw grabbed the re-
volver and his hand was caught by
the falling hammer, preventing the
discharge of the weapon. He received |
a bayonet wound through his fore

{ LOOKER.ON IN IOWA

Luverne, May 30. - The reported
statement that in the next Legislature
bill will be introduced to establish
here in Iowa. what is known as the
South Carolina dispensary system, is
the cause of more than usual COM
ment. This because of existing con-
ditions. The mulct law is a compara-
tive failure, for exactly the same
reason, that the prohibition law was.
or is in counties where it is now in
force. AS an unprecedented observer,
the writer thinks this is a fair state
ment of majority sentiment in Iowa.
In the wet" counties, ! e where the
mulct law is in force, the non enforce
ment of the law makes conditions UNI
bearable to those opposed even to pro-
hibition. In many places little or no
attention is paid to closing at stated
hours on week days, or even on Sun
days or holidays. The sale to miners,

Judge Cownie OF the board OF con-

views. but few are the wise heads
which have uttered more wisdom thar
Cownie did when he told newspaper
man in Des Moines that manual train
I'M. nromised the salvation of the boys
in the reform school at Eldora.
"There," says Cownie. I'VE teach them
carpentry, machine and printing trades
and when the boys leave the school
they can go to work right away and
keep out of mischief
Mr. Cownie's words should be stud
led further at this time of year When
thousands of boys are about TO leave
school for a summers idlenesss and the
fact recognized that IL every parent
believed as thoroughly in mama
training for the boys around home as
thrifty Scotchman recognizes rs
value there would be SO few boys SEN.
to the reform schools that the state
would hardly need an institution of the
kind.
Cownie also calls for more land SO
he can have a larger farm at the in

There is no kind Of work more health

the state is going to undertake the
work of manufacturing men where the
parents have failed the state can't
have too good an equipment for the

But parents themselves can take

there are farms by the hundreds adj
