I could not restrain him he had wise

is development of conscience as well
as of reasoning power and it, was
thoroughly characteristic of the dog.
He was always given the kidneys Of

killed late in the afternoon and car
ried the carcasses into the meat house

them up. Next morning noticed

Pets That Cannot Walk,

In oriental countries it is customary
to have valuable fish as household
pets, in the same way as we have
cats and dogs. and in almost every
house in Japan one can find jars con-
tanning some fine specimens. japanese
mobiles have large acquaria, in which
are to be found species Of odd and
curious fish that have been bred and
cultivated for the last 500 years and
more. In China the paradise fish is
good example of the result of careful
cultivation, for it is nowhere found in
wild state and is remarkable for its
colors, which surpass in beauty those
of any other fish extant Another
household pet is the Chinese comet
goldfish, which is equipped with i'm
mense caudal fms that spread out like
sails when the creature is swimming.

Commissioner Glbreath ANNOUNCES Decision Of Judges in
Contest for Best County Description Articles

On August 18th, w. G. Gilbreath,
commissioner of agriculture, offered
three prizes to the newspapers in each
county in the state for a full and COM

shipped during the year, what ad-

settlement and improvements and such
other general information as would
be interesting and valuable to the
public. .g, l.s. 10
The newspapers in nineteen differ

In the main the articles were we'll
worthy Of perusal and reflected credit
upon the writer's. Some of the arti-
cles showed great care in their pre-
paration and must have consumed
considerable time and entailed large
expense in presenting them in such

nance the value of these county his

buildings, farm scenes and dwellings,
demonstrating that the enterprising
and capable editors of North Dakota
newspapers are keeping pace with the
progress and development of this
state. It can be safely asserted that

bright and talented editors as North
Dakota and in these historical sketch
es they had ample opportunity to dis

demonstrate their thorough familiari-

No carpenters chisel can do more eff
fective work than is turned out with
ease and neatness by the beavers
tooth. This is the principal tool with
which these patient, clever builders
construct their dams. The outer sur
face of the tooth is scale Of very
hard enamel, while the body of it is of
softer dentine. AS the softer sub
stance wears away in use the end of
the tooth takes a chisel-like bevel, leav-
ing thin, slightly projecting edge of
hard enamel as sharp as any carpen-
ter's tool fresh from the oilstone. The
thin scale Of enamel gives keenness,
the softer dentine supplies strength,
and thus the combination forms q for
midable tool, which actually sharpens
itself by use.

NELSON'S FIGHTING MEN.
Had Few Pleasures and Faced Death
with q Jest.

Had Few Pleasures and Faced Death
with q Jest.
OF the wooden walls of England,
the great sailing ships in which Admi;
raj Nelson won his victories, and Of the
men who worked them, critic writes:
Though beautiful to behold and terri
BILE to fight with, those old men-of-war
were more often than not abodes Of
tyranny and wretchedness. The yio-
lence of the press gangs, which seized
men of all ages and occupations, was
but prelude to the oppression that
followed. Decent men were herded in
discriminatory with rufians, the rights
Of free born Englishmen were rudely
snatched from them-for them thence
forward there was no law save the
will Of the captain and the dread arti-
cles of war. Shore going leave was
noneXistent, the food was atrocious
and scanty, punishments were barbar-
any Iberality was rum, on which the
men got drunk and then were flogged
for that offense at the gratings next
morning.
I'm Nelson's time the seaman had
few pleasures save the prospect of
hot fight and his daily pint Of rum.
But to these must be added the vail;
glorious satisfaction he took in his
clothes. When rugged out in bis bes;Ss
he frequently wore rings in his ears and
silver buckles on his low shoes, his
short blue jacket would be decorated
with gold buttons and colored ribbons
| sewed down the seams to give an addi-
tonal gayety, his waistcoat might Je
red or canary, and black silk hanu-
kerchief would be knotted Loosely
round his throat. AS the finishi Il
touch his hair would be hanging in
| cue down his back. The broad golfers
| were first worn as protection against
| the grease and pomatum used in Dress
ing the pigtail.
But all these fripperies We're dis
carded when the guns were cast loose
from their lashings and the linstocks
were lighted. 1t was the custom OF the
men when going into action to strip to
the waist. They took their black silk
handkerchiefs and bound them very
tightly round their heads over t:leir
ears, so that the roar of the guns might
not deafen them for life. 1t was re-
marked that men going into action al
ways Wore a sullen frown, however
merry they were in their talk.
Methods followed in that day We're
curiously primitive and toilsome, but
the results were undoubtedly satisfac-
tory save to the nameless and number
less sailors who met grim death on the
black and blood stained decks or in the
dark horror Of the cockpit. That those
hardy and careless men often faced
death or dtsablement with jest Or
cheer only renders their unconscious
heroism the more impressive."-Chica

n Il. POWER. 4.

~ Do men think? How do they
think? What is thinking? Who
knows? One cannot tell how he
thinks BY thinking about it! The
writer believes that men think by re-
calling a series Of memories, pictures.
II you Will, and associating them to-
gether In certain related positions. If
that is the how Of it, then why can not
the dog think in the same way? Is
there any doubt that he does think in
that way?
The writer, as an illustration, sat
one night In q railway train idly
thinking Of his uncompleted house.
There was upon his mind fireplace,
needing mantel. All at once there
came to his mind a picture Of that
mantel as it might be with its broad
shelf and simple brackets Of curious
form. He liked the picture and pro-
ceeded to put 1t on paper. Ultimately
he built It on the fireplace Then he
was astonfshed to be told by. his
carpenter that the form was very
old one, though to this day cannot
recall where Ihad ever seen 1t. yet
doubtless I had and thus the idea
had gotten Judgment In my mind, to
come up at a fortunate time.
Animals do think. in this way, and
they do draw certain logical deduc-
tons from their thinking, too. Some
things they do that are the result Of
inherited memories: those things we
call Instructive. The bird builds it's
nest as It's parents built theirs
whether It has ever seen 4 nest or not.
That bird fiies southwark when the
cold approaches and returns before
warm weather has come. Reason can
have little to do with this.
Things that they do that are unus-
nal. that they do to avoid certain dis
agreeable consequences, perhaps, or
that they do because OF an unusual

called stupid by those who do not
know them" That is perhaps because
the burro generally uses his intelli-
gence to further his own interests.
We call those stupid who disagree
with us, and the burro disagrees with
vehemence and for all day. Among
these burros was one that we called
Aunt Nellie. She was reputed to be
IS years old, which was doubtless a
misconceptfon, for burros take on airs
of maturity wonderfully young. Aunt
Nellie was an admirable pack animal,
carrying her burden with patience,
steadiness and dignity, granting a
good deal but no more than you or I
would grunt with $50 pounds of dead
weight tied on hard and fast to a
hard pack saddle on sore back over
weary trail Of 30 miles on scorch-
ing day, and no feed to start with
save the mouthful of greasewood or
''bottle shoppers" that grew along the
way, and no water at all. Most of
the burros would lie down to relieve
their distress, but Aunt Nellie would
never lie down at all unless she could
be sure of being helped up again. I
learned this fact and proceeded to
take an unfair advantage of her by
keeping her behind me; she would
plod patiently after and sometimes
the tinkle Of her bell would grow very
