Willy REYNARD.
Few Wild Creatures Can Compete
With the Fox In Craftiness

With the Fox In Craftiness.
Those familiar with the gables of
Esop'' will remember the reputation
which reynard bears among the rest
OF the animals. 1t is questionable
whether any wild creature can com
pete with the fox in craftness. To
look at him generally, even in his or
binary habits, he exhibits an amount
of cleverness which astonishes one.
Should d fox catch hedgehog. whose
spfnes effectually protect him from
most of his enemies, he does not waste
time, as fox terrier will do, in en-
deavoring to worry his prey He mere
~ rolls him to the nearest water,
knowing that drop or two will cause
the animal to relax his hold
1t is rare thing to catch one in
trap laid ut the door of his earth
even. If he is inside when the trap Is
set he waits until some other animal
springs 1t and then energies to eat the
victim and the bait. Only when driven
by the terrible pangs Of hunger will he
tempt fate in his own person. Most
animals gorge themselves when they
are fortunate enough to come across
superabundance Of food Not so with
reynard. Should he find a poultry
yard well stocked and i'll protected he
fills his larder first. Nor does he, as
the proverb says, put all his eggs in
one basket" lie puts one fowl in
hedge, hides another in bush, places
n third in hole in tree, rapidly digs
cavity for fourth and covers it up
again, remembering in each case where
his stores are concealed And when
his supplies are sufficient in his own
estimation he takes fine fat chicken
OF duck to his "earth" for present en-
joyment.-London Field

No place is sacred to the rat. From
sleeping man to an elephant there is
nothing which he will not eat. Rats
have eaten their way through live
pig and bitten off the legs of living
birds. Some years ago the keepers of
the London geological gardens could
not understand what made the ele
plants SO restless, so uneasy on their
feet. Investigation showed that at
night the rats came out and gnawed
off the thick skin growing about the
nails on the monsters feet. Apparent
ly they must have fancied the horn Of
the rhinoceros, too, for regularly the
keepers used to find fattened rats
where tile rhinoceros had been lying.

When Gambetta, accompanied by

Hotel de Vile, where he was officially
to read the proclamation of the third
French republic, the crowd which fol-
lowed the two deputies caught sight Of
a fine portrait of Napoleon III. hanging
on wall. They promptly took it down
and We're about to smash it to pieces
When Gambetta interviewed. Turning
the portrait to the wall, he said: my

A Queer Family,

Little Charlie was very fond Of
watching his mother dress. One day
when she was brushing her hair he
exclaimed, Mamma, why does your
hair snap so?" Because there is so
much electricity in it," she replied
Charlie sat looking at her for few
moments very thoughtfully and then
he could contain himself no longer,
when he burst out with: what a
queer family we must be! Grandma
has gas in her stomach and you have
electricity in your hair"

Will Make It Their Business.

Flasher Hustler: The prairie fire OF
last Thursday has been the principle
talk of the week. Everyone has a
different experience to relate. Some
of those who received notices through
the mail during the early fall days,
urging them to look after their fire
guards and see that they were in good
shape, are looking q little cheap now
when they remember how they talked
about the letters and wished the land
men would tend to their own bust
ness" Its good thing to have some
one to tend your business for you If
you're to slow to tend it yourself. It
Is safe to say we have lot of wiser
people now who are certain they'll
never neglect fire guards again. Sever
al of our farmers have lost their hay
that was in stacks and the grazing
land for miles around is perfectly bare
and means hard lot for the cattle next
summer as well as now.

Misslo MAR RIDGE.
How the Scene Of . Terrible Battle

How the Scene Of Terrible hattie
Originally Got Its Name.
Stretching for. miles along the east
ern border Of the city, picturesque and
pleasing to view is Missionary ridge.
How well that name is known from
the hemlocks OF Maine to the flowers
OF Florida, and yet how different from
Its name are the associates one gives
1t when 1t Is pronounced! In history
1t Is recorded as being the scene of one
Of the fiercest conflicts Of the civil was,
but to the people who know the origin
of the name 1t Ia q monument to tho
memory Of band Of devoted, self sac
rifcing Christian men who. Drawing,
the hardships Of emigration not for the
love Of gain, but to help their fellow
men, built the Brainard mission on the
picturesque heights known by the name
of Missionary ridge. IS.
1t was In 1917 that the Rev. Cyrus
Kingsbury, Ainsworth F. Blunt and
the Rev. John Vail first viewed the site
Of their mission. They were sent here
by the American board Of commission
ers for foreign missions, and the same
board had provided for the erection of
q mission, including school buildings
and home for the missionaries. But
the contractors failed IN their contract,
and the missionaries were left without
money and without even shelter. But
by energetic efforts they created mis-
sion school and built a mill on the
banks Of Chickamauga creek. The mill
race, nearly mile long, Is still visible.
The mill was purchased by Philamon
Bird in 1852. He tore down the small
structure and built what Is now known
as Birds mill. ...
On May q, 1919, the president Of the
United States, James Monroe, appeared
at the door of the mission unannounced.
He was accompanied by General
Gaines. Although surprised by his Wis
II, the missionaries were ready to re-
ceiye him, and he complimented them
on their work and in glowing terms
praised the beautiful location of the
mission. The Brainard mission was
used until the Indians left. It did an
immense amount Of good, and at one
time there were more than 800 Indian
children being taught beneath it's roof.
The Lords supper was observed for
the last time on Aug. 10, 1888.
In the old mission cemetery east of
the ridge, overgrown with weeds and
forgotten by almost everybody, is a
little monument on which are the fol.
lowing words:
"Here lie the remains of Samuel
Worcester, D. D., pastor of the Taber-
nacle church, Salem, Mass, first secre-
tary Of the American board of commits
sioners for foreign missions. Born

Divorced, But Reunited.

Jamestown Alert: An instance Of
how q middle aged couple with chill
dren were divorced, the decree, set
aside, and the couple reunited and APP
parently made happy once more came
to light in 9 jamestown lawyers Office
last week. The husband. who lives In
q neighboring county, secured q d.
vorce from his wife, who had been
absent from home In the west q year
or more. The notice of such divorce
proceedings was published in papar
which would not, In all LIKELIHOOD ever
reach the woman, and 1t 10 claimed
never did. No appearance was made
by the defendant and the decree for
divorce was obtained by default. After
ward the woman learned that she was
legally divorced, and then began to
take steps to repair the break which
her absence had In measure caused.
An attorney was consulted, the irregu-
larity Of the proceedings contested,
and the decree Of divorce was recently
set aside by Judge Burke. Through cor
respondence the couple were brought
together in Jamestown last week after
over two years Of separation, their
differences adjusted, explanations
made and they returned home together,

aHob' sanborn Resigns I.

r. G. Sanborn, who for the past
three and onehalf years has held the
position Of register q the U. s. land
Office In Minot, will sever his connec.
\ ton with the local ONCE Oh December
4, 1905. .s
An announcement, to the above ef-
/ feet, was made by Mr.. Sanboen Satur-
day. He stated that he had tanlered
his resignation to President Roosevelt,
the same to take effect ON Dec. I. 1906.
.5 Believing that he9could not properly
/ fulfill the duties ID connection with the
registership Of the land ONCE and also
those connected with the presidency
OF the State bank Of Minot, which will
coon open it's doors in that city, Mr..
Sanborn decided that he would with
draw from the federal service and de-
vote HE entire time to his new bank
ing interests and other business enter
prises in that city in which he is
heavily interested. 4 ss,5.$E 4
The present register Of the local
land office was appointed to that posi-
ton on January |, 1902, but he did not
assume the duties of the office until
March 4, OF that year, therefore his
term does not expire until March 4,
1906. s.a IF 3.
The announcement Of Mr.. sSanborn,s
retirement from the land Office will
come as a surprise to many OF his
friends and furthermore 1t will come
as source Of regret, for during his
service in the employ OF Uncle Sam,
Register Sanborn has managed the at.
fairs Of his Office in an honest and
business-like manner and has gained
the respect and esteem Of all whom he
has had! occasion to transact business.
Mr.. sanborn's resignation reaches
Washington today, but it is not known
when his successor will be announced,
probably not until the latter part of
this month. 7. ~, ~ IN, =
