WHY A DOGS NOSE IS COLD.

There has been some newspaper discussion
corning the dogs cold nose" A sailor in the New
York Times says: "The true story of the dogs
cold nose has been handed down to us sailors from
the log book of the Ark and we generally get things
pretty correct when the log book is the authority
The true version of the story is that Mrs Noah
went down one morning to the potato bin in the
lower hold for the vegetables required for the noon
day meal Her favorite collie dog. Nip. followed
her. as was his daily custom. While Mrs. Noah was
sorting out the tubers the Ark coided with small
snag which punctured hole in her side close to
where the lady stood. Seeing that immediate ac-
ton was necessary she took off her wooden peticoat
and apron and stuffed them into the hole; but the
pressure of the water so great that it forced
the things out, and so she put them back again and
sat on them calling loudly for some Ole to come
to her assistance; but one seemed TO hear her as
the animals between decks were making such a
noise In her position she leaned back so that the
backs of her arms were pressed up against the cold
sides of the vesscl-hence the backs Of women's
arms are always cold. The water was coming in
fast and she began to fear for the safety of the
Ark and her precious cargo, so she jumped up and
grabbed Nip thrust his into the hole and babe
him stay there until she went to the fore hatch and
shouted for help. A carpenters mate heard her and
came down into the hold with a soft pine Plug re-
leased poor Nip, and stopped the leak The water
outside was very cold, and Nip got cold nose and
hence all healthy dogs have cold nose"

ESSAY ON THANKSGIVING DAY.
(First PRICE


In the early part of the reign of James /. some
people in the village Of ScroUby Nottinghamshire.
undertook to establish church where they could
worship as they pleased But they were prosecuted,
and some of them were thrown into prison. In
1905 they fed to Holland, where they we're not
troubled.
But they didn't want to settle in Holland per-
mancntiy because they did not want their children
to intermarry with the Dutch. They wanted to
make homes in q new land and there establish free
government.
They went to Plymouth. England. and got two
ships the Mayfower and the SpeedweIl. But the
Specdwell was so leally that they had TO abandon
ii. The Mayfower set out with about one hundred
people on board.
In November. 1920. they reached America and
landed at Plymouth Rock. By spring half of their
number were dead, and they had to plant corn over
the graves so the Indians wouldn't know how few
their numbers were. That year their crops did not
Weld very good and they nearly starved. The next
year they had a good harvest, and Governor Brad
ford proclaimed general Thanksgiving.
The people were very busy preparing for 1t be-
cause they had invited Massasoit and his Indian
braves to the feast The men went into the woods
and shot wild turkeys and rabbits. and they got
berries from the woods, too. The women were busy
making pumpkin pies and cooking other good
things The feast lasted three days and even then
the Indians didn't want to go

HOW SEA BIRDS GET FRESH WATER.

"When | was cabin boy" said an elderly sail
or. | often used to wonder, seem birds thousands
of miles out sea, what they done for fresh water
when they were thirsty. One day squaf answered
that question for me. 1t was hot and gitterip'
day in the tropics, and in the clear sky overhead
black rain cloud appeared all of sudden. Then
out of empty space over hundred sea birds
came dartin' from every direction. They got I'M
der the rain cloud. and they waited there for about
ten minutes. circlin' round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their fill In the
tropics. where the great birds sail thousands of
miles away from shore, they get their drinkn wa
ter in that way. They smell out a storm a long way
off; they travel hundred miles maybe to get under
it. and they swallow enough randrops to keep them
goin'

Many years ago lot of people came over from
ENGLAND in a ship called the Mayfower They
had hard time coming, and a mighty hard time
after they got here.
They at last had nothing to eat and were AFRAID
Of the Indians, they all said prayers lots OF
prayers out real loud. for God to help them. One
dsy after they had prayed very long time big

New Year s Greetings
TO RI. REV. L. sCANLAN, D. D.
From Miners and Railroad Employees

From Miners and Railroad Employees
In a valley meath the Galtees,
Where the apple blossoms blow,
And the fragrance of its spreading trees
Untouched by winters snow;
Where the purling streams meandeTng so
To swell the rapid More;
And SIievenamon looks down below
On scenes, sad scenes of yore-
Sequestered in that verdant vale
Our bishop first saw light,
With buOyant heart meath swelling sail,
He bids a Ions good night;
His longing thoughts for freedom spot
Spurred his soul to valor born,
He rent the ties that bound his lot
To the land enelaved, forlorn.
Thro mountain gorge and sage untrod
lie roughed it day and night,
And impressed on all the ways of God
With rapturous fond delight
Tc penance swayed the culprts Old,
In mining camps and dells,
Aud brought many sinners to the fold,
As Utah's history proudly tells.
The spirit OF old Erin
Struck the chord of olden days,
For Christ's churches are appearing
Loud words of praise.
We never forget him,
While the tide of life remains;
We never will desert him
In undisputcd claims.
Happy greetings to our bishop,
Long may his life remain
To the ladders upper step,
His unflinCEing vigOr gain
May God and angels guard him
To stem the tide of years.
A crown of glory award him.
When Deaths messenger appears.
From the confines of Nevada,
To Frisco silver mines,
From the w-Capped range of Ala
To what Oquirrhs steppes defines,
All join in mighty chorus,
Send greetings this New Year,
For your noble works afore us,
Demands our heartfelt cheer.

LESSON FROM CATHOLIC REPUBLICS.

For many years Chile and Argentine have been
disturbed and rritated by dispute to the prop
or boundary line. An agreement has now been
reached, and as an outward symbol of its ratifica-

as properly symbolcal of peace.
What beautiful mark for a frontier boundary
line-the Prince of Peace enthroned OH high guard
ing the interests of both nations The Latin races
have ever possessed quicker Imagination and
greater facility in expressing their feelings than
the colder people of northern Europe What les
son these Catholic republics by this method OF e1-
preston, have taught the entire world What an
era of peace earth would be begun if all nations
settled their disputes in the spirit of Christ Pres

Russian government, however, is constantly becom-

which has practically destroyed the semi-independ-

frankly expressed Really, Aunt Busy must CON
TESS that she has not liked all the old ladies she has
met but some were very dear and ovable If old la

fault JUST as it is the fault of all persons young

young and old, to like everybody and then every

The city school opened with a
good attendance last Tuesday. A
new system has been adopted of the
city purchasing the text books and
renting them to the pupils. 1t will
be much cheaper for the school
patrons than for them to furnish
the books and we presume the rental
will be sufficient to purchase a new
book when the old one is worn out.
Hudson True Republican.
That is a step forward, but the
rental is superiority. River Falls
has purchased the text books used
in the schools for Is years and fur
nished them to the pupils without
rent. We tried the renting system
one year and found it unsatisfac-
tory-useless. There are many adj
vantages in a districts buying the
books. A change of texts can be
secured readily when needed and
the books will cost the district half
what pupil would pay. There is
always a uniformity. Books are in
the hands of the pupil the first day
of the term. The poor are always
supplied with good book as we'll
as the wel1-to-do.
In the unfortunate accident of
last week that resulted in the
death of little Carmen Bennett some
misinformation is being told and
repeated to the detriment of Emil
Anderson. Mr.. Anderson feels
acute sorrow for the death of the
child and poignant regret that he
did not see the child in time to him
der his horses from striking it.
When he saw the child he jumped
out of his wagon, picked it up, laid
| it gently on the grass and called to
its mother asking where he could
find the nearest telephone, saying
he would summon doctor immedi.
ate1y. Mrs. Bennett told him and
he jumped into the wagon and drove
to the house of Rev. Baur as rapidly
as he could to call doctor. This
is the occasion for the story that
Mr.. Anderson laid the child on the
grass and drove off. The parents
of the dead child exonerate Mr.. An
derson from all blame in the unfor
tunate affair.
