Along the rocky shores Of Santa
Catalina Island California, there Is
floating forest of kelp, which IS the home of
countless animals, among them several
nest-brilding fishes. one a huge sculpin-
like fish also called rOck-cOd, with large
gaping mouth, colored within a brilliant
blue. This fish forms a nest among the
weed. selecting some rock as a central
point, and attaches its eggs in a great

In the singular lunp-fish the young
attach themselves to the parent by
their suckers at times, often following
them, calling to mind hen and chickens
In this California floating forest a singular
creature called the walking-fish is found.
One observed by me weighed eight or
nine pounds. Its side fins resemble feet
when resting on the bottom. This FISH
builds a remarkable floating nest, wind
ing the seaweed up into a ball and
attaching its eggs to it, the young later
finding protection there.

As TO THE EXTRA SESSION.

IF it is a fact says the Kansas City
star. that the president has under
consideration the Abandonment Of an
extra session Of congress, that fact is
disappointing. It was a diSappOint-
ment when the extra session was post
pOned from October to near the mid
die Of November, and for the very
reason now advanced against cOnven-
ing congress at the latter time-the
argument that little could be done
before the regular business would be
in order. Nevertheless something
could be done It has been the COM
mon belief that the object Of this spe-
cial session was to advance railway
legislation, and il is because the cOUn-
try is so much interested in this pro
pOsal that any Interference with the
--ogram is not only disappointing, but
actually discOuraging-
The plea offered by some members
Of congress that they would be incOD-
venienced by an early session is the
poorest excuse that could be offered
At every meeting Of congress, whetF-
er in regular or extraordinary session,
somebody is Inconvenience But
senator's and representatives are cleo
ted to serve the people, not to follow
their pleasures
IF the president abandOns the ex-
ira session he viii be governed hy-
good and sufficient reasons, whether
he chooses to give these reasons fun
publicity or not But it is inevitable
that he will suffer from the impres-
sion that the railway interests have
-lbeen too strong for him; that he does
not count on securing at this time the
legislation he had hoped to see enact
ed This impression viii be honest
among many; il viii be gladly as
stunned and promulgated by the presi-
dents political opponents. OF course
no .one-not even Mr.. ROOsevelts Sc
verest critics-could honestly declare
that he had been persuaded that ad-
diIionaI railway legislation is not nee
essaTy, for only the other day he re-
newedhis faith in this doctrine and
went further than ever before in fav-
or OF government supervision OF cor
porations.

ANCESTRAL WISDOM.

Our ancestors, so scholars say,
Were wont to live in trees,
Where they might comfortably sway
With every passing breeze.
They wore no collars. stif and hot;
They Stunned the fiery drink
IN faith, it was a happy lot
To be a missing link.
Where branches screened them
from the sky
And kept away the heat,
With wardrObes that were very shy
They dweIt in bliss complete
Now science answers to our call;
And yet I sometimes think
The very smartest Of US all

Beach Berry Has Judgment for $500
Against Matt BIahOney.


An echo Of the celebrated Dewey
Berry feud came up Monday in the
supreme court in Topeka It is a
cattle case in which Beach Berry was
the plaintiff in the Iowercourt, and
got a judgment for $500 against Matt
MahOney, sheriff Of Rawlins county.
Beach Berry is a son Of Daniel P.
Berry, a brother Of Alpheus and
Burch Berry, and a cousin OF Roy
Berry. Daniel, Alpheus and Burch
were all killed in the fight with the
Dewey ranchers, and Roy was ba.Ily
wounded.
The action now filed in the su-
preme court was begun in September,
1902, while all the Berrys were alive.
Sheriff MahOney Of Rawlins county
came out to Beach Berry's farm, and
attached seven cows and IA steers,
which were claimed under mortgage
by the Reeves Commission company.
As a result Of the COWS being taken
away, their seven calves died OF star
walton. Beach Berry sued for $3.50.
The Reeves company claimed that the
mortgage had been placed on the cat
tie BY Beach BerTy's father and bro
Their. Beach showed that the cattle
belonged to him, and got a judgment
for $500. The sheriff appealed the
case.

Wider discussions followed on top

The interest enlisted was remark

Inasmuch as an editor is one VINO
should know something about most
everything, these debates were highly
interesting and instructive They were
free from all partisan or religious
bitterness, and in the wind up there
was a uniformity Of sentiment
One question was Of peculiar inter-

solution The material universe is
