Reason Is an appreciation Of the fact that par.

cific causes. Two animals do not fight unless one
reasons that It can vanquish the othes. To-day
there are savages in both the Old World and the
New whose reasoning powers are not % good -
those Of the little chief hare. which knows enouEh
to house itself comfortably where It's enemies can
not get at it, and to pack away enough food to last
throughout the long winter.
Some species of animals are mentally higher than
Others. just some races of men are and some are
keener than Others in the line Of original thought
There are millions Of men who know only to do
as they have seen other men do The mechanical

inventors. The animal world also contains its share
Of inventors. OF course it is true that not every
animal possesses an the mental attributes and there
are plenty Of men and women Of whom the same
may be said.

out Of his great animal park at Hamburg many
magnificent groups of trained animals. this ques-
ton: I'm general mental capacity and suscepti-

jaguar and puma stand in relation to each other:"
In his reply he placed the lion and tiger in a
separate and Superior class. and the other three
species in another, Of less intelligence and tracta-
hIty. He said in substance: ''The hon and tiger
are alike in good temper and reliability. The
leopard aguar and puma also equal in character
but are not SO good as the other two. As to the
intelligence Of these five animals. the ono (speces
intelligent the other. but with these animals it IS
just the same as with human beings: some learn
quickly Others stupid and give much trouble in
training. For example. take the two lions and one
tiger which my trainer has recently educated for his
large group. In month he trained Of the lions
to do very difficult tricks. and in five weeks the tiger
learned do all the tricks Of the other animals in the
group. The other lion was no good at all Although
fine beast to look at, it nervous and stupid"

A young friend in the forest department Of Bur.
ma, A. E. Ross relates striking case Of long memory
in a working elephant Among the grass-cuttefs
who supplied force Of working elephants with green
food there was who had incurred the pronounced
dislike Of one Of the animals Before matters
reached crisis. however. the grass-cutter was sent
some distance away to work in another camp.
About a year later the man came hack and quietly
drifted into the ranks Of his fellows fully believing
that during his absence the elephant had forgotten
him. But not 50. At the first assembly Of ele-
plants and men. the elephant espied his old enemy
in the ranks Of the grass-cutters and instantly
charged him. The man fled for his life, and
never dared to return.

Last June We helped our fine Altai wap;ti doe

whipped out his knife and successfully opened and

TO Be NO ELECTION
The "For Saloons Crowd
Lack "a Names.
Public Opinion Supports the Action
Which Has Been Taken in This
Matter by the Board of
Aldermen.

There will be no election in Raleigh
this year on the liquor question.
The special committees of the Board
of Aldermen have been busy all the
week in the Sheriff's Office going over
the list of registered voters to see how
many have paid their, poll tax and
thus qualified themselves to have Il
voice in the petition or in the cleo
ton. 1t was stated last night that the
For Saloons people lack thirty four
names of having enough to order an
election. That ends the matter. the
Board of Aldermen at it's last meeting
having determined not to cali the cleo
ton unless one third of the men en-
titled to vote signed a petition asking
for the election.
There are conflicting reports of
what, the For Saloon" people will do,
though it is supposed they will apply
for mandamus ordering the Alder
men to call an election, claiming that
a man has a right to sign petition
to secure an election, even if he cannot
vote therein. If they do that, the
courts will probably reach the case
next month and it may be decided by
November, in which case. if the For
Saloon" crowd win the election could
hardly be held this year.
1t is best for Raleigh to let the
agitation drop for at least two years.

Supreme Court Dismiss

FILE OPINION LATER
OaIy Judgment Rendered. No Intima'
tion of Reasons Governing De-
c;sion, Whether Contempt is
Inherent or Comes Under
Statute.

M. E. McCown, attached for con-
tempt and sentenced to fine and i'm
prisonment for contempt committed
George w. Ward, must serve out his
time in the Durham county Jail and
pay the fine imposed.
The Supreme court so decided yes
terday morning when the Chief JUS
ticefannounced briefly from the bench
that In re McCOWn, the refusal of pc
tition in habeaS corpus by Justice Wal
ker had been sustained by the court
and the appeal of petitioner dismissed.
The hearing on Tuesday was an
appeal to the court and not technically
4 proceeding in habeas corpus. the
real question being whether or not
Justice Walker had erred in refusing
the writ. The effect is that the petition
for the writ is refused and there is
now no recourse open to McCoWn eX-
cept to serve out the sentence of the
court Later on the court will file
written opinion in the case in which
will be set forth their reasons for the
judgment rendered yesterday.
Whether or not the court in dismiss
ing the appeal concluded that McCoWn
vas guilty of contempt under
4 construction of the statutes of 1859
and 1871, or whether they
took the broaded ground that the
offense was of so grievous a char
acter and displayed so much disre-
spect and contempt of the court as
to give the judge the right to punish
through the inherent Dower of the
court to protect itself from insult, is
not known. 1t is considered highly
probable. however, that the court has
taken the last named ground follow
ing the line of decisions from other
Jurisdictions which were cited by the
ATTORNEY General and Mr.. Brooks dur
ing the argument of the case on Tues
day In that event, the subsection
of the Section 44S which expressly re-
peals the commOn-laW right to pun
ism for contempt will have been 10 all
intents and purposes declared uncon-
5titutionaI such action practically
over-ruling a number of former de-
cisions in which the constitutionalltyI
Of the statutes appeared to be sus-
tanned
While there is sympathy existing
for Mr.. McCown. who is said to have
acted in a sudden burst of temper
following upon a great mental STRAIN
brought about by the trial of negro
for the killing of his nephew and also
bv reason of the condition of his ST.
ter. the determination of the court Is
generally felt to have been the only
one possible. Aside from the law dnu
the public distruSt of indiscriminate
use of the power to hold for contempt
if was generally felt that an assault
upon a Judge growing out OF the eXer-
rise of his judicial discretion could
not be permitted to go unpunlshed at
the hands of the court which had been

In reply the Governor stated that
the act was not directory, but only of
a character to permit the use of the
penitentiary brick and labor in the
repair of the walks. He stated that
he had communicated: with the peni-
tentiary authorities about the mat
ter, but had been informed that all
the brick now being made were used
in the construction of the addition to
the State Hospital, and that it was
impossible at this time to furnish the
necessary labor. Governor Glenn
stated that he had been assured by
the penitentiary management that the
work could not be done until next
spring. The news is disappointing,
but the condition seems to be fixed.
The act of the egislature-which
was thought by many to direct the
sadly needed repairs to the square
provides IS follows:
THAT the board of public buildings
and grounds is hereby authorized and
empowered to use such brick and
other material from the penitentiary
as is not otherwise appropriated, and
such labor from the penitentiary as
may not otherwise be employed as
may be necessary to repair the walks

drew it to one side causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble, till a
friend suggested that possibly the cof-
fee we drank had something to do with
it, and advised that we quit it and try
Postum Coffee.

the day thta we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in a
yerv short time both of us were en-
tirefy relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
