DAMNED BY PRAIRIE DOGS.
River Clicked UP in Texas by Migra'
tion of the Little Animals.

River Choked Up in Texas by Migra"
tion of the Little Animals.
1.-THE prairie dog migration from
Oklahoma to southwestern Texas dur
ing July, 1874, eclipsed anything of
that sort witnessed by white men in
this country" said Matt Duhr last
week. Millions Of the frisky little
bankers must have been in quest of
new pastures or perhaps smelled that
the approaching legions Of homeseek-
ers would surely exterminate the dogs
and plow up the dog towns.
1.-THE prairie dog migration from
the north to the southwest lasted six
days, during the month Of July, 1874.
The travelling dogs while crossing the
Red river interfered to a great ex-
tent with the cattle that came to that
stream to quench their thirst. Some
cowboys that were on the banks of
Red river during the time when the
prairie dogs swan across say that the
stream was chockful of the little ras-
Gals for many miles up and down the
river.
"The thirsty cattle were either IN
able or unwilling to stick their mouths
into the water through the moving
mass Of living prairie dogs. The cow
boys were getting ready to drive the
furnishing stock to a distant stream,
but the Red river became clear Of the
repelling swimmers after blocking the
useful drinking place for about q
week. 1t was generally supposed that
the dogs halted when they had
reached the staked plains Of Texas.
"There have been some eccentric cy-
clones in this country. One on the
South Canadian in the year 1892 de-
horned about sixty steers, but re-
Trained from otherwise hurting the
animals. One cyclone between Still
water and Council Greek, about eight
years ago, played many fantastic
tricks. 1t pulled all the feathers out
of A. L. Curry's 11S chickens, and
after taking the naked poultry through
the air for about ten miles, dropped
them in the road. A colored man, who
happened to come from Pawnee City
shortly after, picked up over fifty OF
the naked chickens. He concluded
that the picked hens and ROSTERS had
been sent from heaven for his special
bensfit"-Kansas City Journal.

Time and Books.

The economy of saving time is wise,
but there is an economy Of spending
time. In reading, especially, hurry is
most wasteful. Reading is the max
ing of thoughts, of ideas, of pictures in
the brain. All young photographers
know how little is to be made out of
an "under-eXposed plate" but do they
understand that there may be such a
thing as an under-exposed brain? II
takes time to make impressions on the
mind. If you read too fast, either
aloud or to yourself, or skim over your
reading. the mind receives poor i'm.
pressions or none at all.-St. Nicholas

THIRTY YEARS AGO
Modern Trains Are Not SO Much Faster
than in Those Days.

Thirty years ago the North Western
road made a record run across the con-
tlnent to take a theatrical company
over the route in seventy-fve hours.
The train beat it's own schedule about
five hours, and was ten hours ahead Of
time: 1t was drawn by one of the
small locomotives Of the day, with light
cars and light roadbed, and made the
run from Chicago to Omaha-488 miles
in eleven hours and fifteen minutes.
1t made one burst of seventy-nine miles
in seventy-fve minutes and another Of
forty five miles in forty-four minutes.
The train passed Kelton, Col, ten hours
and forty-seven minutes ahead of time.
In, these days when the flyers are
highly advertised, it appears that the
cannon balls of today don't exceed the
speed Of the North train of
thirty years ago by great DEAL There
are many trains now between New
York and San Francisco that do little
better than eighty-fve hours.

HIS ULTERIOR MOTIVE.

James J. Hill addressing multitude Of

mental ownership of the railroads and municipal
ownership OF the trolley lines are not good ideas
simply because they are new ones.
TN such ideas, as matter of fact, there often
lurk covert and selfish schemes for their pro-
INDICATORS advancement Often municipal
ownership of an industry will not benefit the
community so much it will benefit the man
proposing it.
ct is a case of a new Ideas adoption for
hidden end. 1t is like the case of the small bust
ness who wrote dictated at the bottom of

Fresh Air movement and to the methods of
country vacations for sewing girls fl Paris, were
highly commended. Upon the motion Of NJ Leon
Bourgeois the isolation of tuberculosis patients
was prescribed for all hospitals M Leon Bour-
geois and NJ Paul Juillerat urged the repeal CT
the door and window tax IN France and laid
stress upon the municipal statistics of Paris
showing that tuberculosis mortality in eleven
years (from January 1. 1894, to December 81,
1900 was in direct proportion to the narrow
ness of streets and heights of houses. In con-
sequence Of the convincing demonstrations of
N. Paul JuiIlerat the congress voted recon-
mendation that in future in all constructions In
cities of over 10000 inhabitants the width of
streets and height Of houses should be so regu-
lated that all house fronts. from top to bottom,
should be exposed to the rays of the sun for at
least three hours daily. 1t was also decided that
in laying out new streets the points of the COM
pass should be taken into consideration, so that
each side of the street should be exposed for
several hours during the day to the direct rays
of the sun This idea, having been previously
submitted to q board of architects, pro-
nounced by the congress 'as quite feasible
from a technical point of view. NJ Paul luillerat
is a well known architect and is the head of the
Department of the Sanitary Inspection of Dwell
ing Houses In the city of Paris. Another
ure that was adopted OH the recommendation
of N. Juillerat prescribes that in future rooms
unprovided with windows supplying natural
light shall not be inhabited, even in the day
time, by human beings.
