THE GIRAFFE LIVES HIGH.
Animal with the Long Necl. Finds It Hard to Craze Grasses and
 Low Bushes

You can always tell giraffe country at a glance" said Capt. Manel, the big game hunter. A place of low bushes or no bushes or trees at all is sure not to have any giraffes in it. Always look for low trees with abundant Ieafage be- fore you look for the giraffes. No ma ter how fertile the ground may be, or how full il may be of fine. juicy grasses and other vegetation that would furnish h abundant food for the giraffes, you won't be likely to find them unless there are trees. The reason for this is that it is very nearly as hard for a giraffe to browse on the ground as il would be for a man 10 stoop without getting on hands and knees. and pick something up from the ground with his mouth. There is no more awkward and painful sight than to see one of these beautiful beasts feed ing from the ground. IL straddles it's immense forelegs out sideways ill they look as if they were being stretched like india rubber. Then it slowly and clumsily lowers its body. jerking it's forelegs spasmodically 10 keep its bal ance. That is why giraffe is not eager to browse on low growing vegetation. " Cincinnati Tribune.

The Carrier Bee.

You often have heard of carrier pi- geons and the part they play in war. but how many boys and girls ever heard of a carrier bee?
 These little honey Atherers have such sense of direction that they can always fly straight 10 their hives, even from places they have never wis ited before.
 We are told that a few years ago a bee-keeper trained some of his insects as message carriers. Knowing they will always fly home from any point in a range of four or five miles, he tied tiny notes for his little daugh- ters on the bees and set them loose in a totally unfamiliar place. In a very short time they were back their own hives. messages and all.
 Some people think bees might be made very useful in war times. and even now experiments are being made 10 see just how far and how directly they will fly.

GENERAL LINEvITCH.

Picking, succeeding Admiral AleXeieff
In command of the Russian troops in
August, 1900, and was congratulated
by Emperor Nicholas for his services.
For a time in 1904 General Linevitch
was governor general Of the Amur
territory, but later assumed command
Of the Russian forces at Vladivostok
under Alexeieff and is understood to
have placed that fortress in a state to
resist a siege.
During the Manchurian campaign
he has been in charge Of divisions in
the field, and is said to be one of the
few Russian commanders who possess
the absolute confidence of his troops.
Measured by the usual army retiring
age standards, General Linevitch is
well along in years to conduct such an
active campaign as the Russians would
have to wage in the far east to stem
the tide of Japanese advance. Still,
there have been other commanders
who have made military regulations
after they passed the threescore mark.
General Linevitch, like the earlier Rus
sian commanders, will probably find
that campaigning against the Japs
skaters rather than builds up military
regulations.

The evil, bitter thoughts within her
shut out the bright ones that might
come and make her bad company. But,
worse still, they have a direct physical
effect upon her system. Nothing can
so ruin ones digestion as flying into
tantrum at the dinner table. The food
taken in will not assimilate, and the
appetite is lost. The heart Is affected
and the circulation is retarded. The
nerves are so wrought up by con-
slant series Of tantrums that the wom-
an with temper is invariably a thin,
anaemlc little thing.
The best way to cure bad temper is
first to convince yourself that you are
not really being wronged. Once you
have got in tune with the world and
feel quite certain that the universe Is
better ordered than you could order 1t
you will cease expecting to reform the
rest of your fellow men and thus be
saved lots of disappointment.
If you can cure your temper in no
other way, simply run and glance in
the looking glass while you are in the
midst of it. That should cure you.-

Good Roads.

We have read with interest in last
weeks COURIER and Leader an article
by 81. E. French on good roads, and as
far as the making of good roads is con-
cerned we agree With him. But the
difficulty with good roads is how to
keep them good and this we claim is
an imposSibility as long as we insist
and continue to use narrow tired
wagons. You make two roads equally
good and let one be used by our pres
ent style of narrow tires and the other
with wide tires, say three or three and
one-half inches wide. We will venture
the positive assertion that the narrow
tired road will be cut up and need re-
pairs when the wide tired road will be
good condition. One can shut his
eyes, as che saying is, and see the mar
row tire cutting and digging up the
road, while the wide tire acts as
roller might-say road maker press
ing the road down and making it bet
ter. We notice that there are few
wide tired wagons come to Elk Point
once in while. We asked the owner
of one of these once how he liked it,
etc. They all seem to like them very
we'll, but they say the trouble is there
are not enough of them in the country,
for the reason that when they get on
the main road to come to town, es-
pectally with a load on, they have to
pull through the cuts and gullys made
by the narrow tires and that if the
narrow tires would stay off, they would
soon have the road improved. But the
very next time they would come along
why, there has been lot of narrow
tires ever since then and cut them all
full of ruts again. II the wagon tires
stay of they would be all right. Then
again, see how much easier the wide
tire will go over your farm, haul your
hay, your corn, your wheat etc. We
do not mean those little low wheeled
wide tires that we see once in while,
but wheels of regular standard size or
height. Otcourse they may look a
little heavier, but the difference is
only in the width of tire. They run
lighter on the farm and all conditions
OF the road, and we have been wonder
ing for years why they do not get into
common use. We understand that in
some of the eastern states, we think
New Jersey. they are coming into gen.
eral use and the counties are encourage.
ing their use by exenpting them from
taxation. Why can not our county
commissioners do the same? AS far as
we are concerned we would be willing
to have decree issued that no loaded
narrow tired wagon will be allowed on
the public highways ten years from
date. Will some advocate of the mar
row tire tell US wherein they are bet
ter than the wide ? We would like
to hear from HMM. HOFFMAN, SIR.

PtOmaine Poisoning.

The term "ptomalne poison" Is in ev-
erybodys mouth, but few know what
1t really is. 1t develops, says What
to Eat, through the action of acid on
tin. That is why every can of meat or
vegetables or fruits should be turned
out into an earthen bowl or crock i'm
mediately upon opening the tin can,
and that is why mayOnnaise should
never be put into tin receptacles. On
ly recently several women were made
seriously i'll by eating salad at a re-
ception. Investigation showed that the
mayonnalse, In which was considera-
BILE lemon juice, had been allowed to
stand all day in tin pail. According
to the physicians, enough poison was
generated to kill forty men, and had
the women eaten the mayonnaise from
the bottom Of the pail it would have
been fatal to them.
