A heavy rain accompanied by a
strong wind, fell all day Tuesday
that was of great benefit to the
cane crop. The cane planters were
only wishing for good rain and
strong wind to shake the cane
down TO the roots in order to make
them grow fast. The cane has on
ly a short time to grow yet, as
grinding generally commences be-
tween the middle of October and
the First of November.

BEAR DOGS STRATEGY.
This Well-Trained Animal Can Give
Some Military Experts a
Few Ideas.

Talking about stcategists, the we'll
trained bear dog csn make all kinds OF
rings around some Of the military ex
perts we are reading about in these
days" said q man from Arkansas, ac-
cordirg TO the New Orleans Times
Democrat.
Back in Arkansas scme years ago l
had occasion 10 give some little atten-
ton 10 one Of these humble ~strategists,
and under u%nfavorable conditions, too,
from the STANDPOINT of the dog, for he
was very old. almost blind and dldn''
have 4 tooth in his head. Bob "a
brinlle dog, medium size. and had the
most pugnacious temperament | have
ever known. He was the leader always
of the pack, and no better leader coulC
have been found, for he was the mos
successful dog in a bear campaign | aver
knew. Dogs that fought with him fol-
lowed him strictly in his methods. His
plan was TO limit the zone of operations
TO the smallest possible radius, and it
was q conspicuous fact in his career that
no bear ever succeeded in getting more
than 100 yards from the point of the first
attack. He simply could not get away
from Bob and the dogs that followed
him. Bob fought in a circle, and for
IN evident purpose.
Instead Of going in any one straight
direction the bear would keep whirline
around in q circle. Bob's plan in limit
ing the zone Of operations was to make
relief quicker. When We heard him
open up we knew we could go straight
to him, as the bear would not be al
lowed 10 make much progress, and we
never made any mistake about this.
Sometimes we would watch him for
awhile before wading into the slaugh-
ter, just for the simple grandeur Of the
performance. the ease and cleyerness
with which he directed his forces"

BIT OF REEDS HISTORY.
Building Where the Maine States
man Once Taught School
in California.

Until recently there stood in q pref
ty oak grove in the heart of Stockton.
Cal, a forlorn-looking brick building,
which perhaps in its palmy days had
some architectural beauty to recon-
mend IL; but for a long time. as age
m neglect began to show disfiguring
hands upon the structure. its windows
stared blankly and its shutters creaked
upon their rusty hinges until people
fancied the old place was haunted.
II the Old walls could have spoken.
writes William S. Rice, in Sunset
Magazine, what Interesting anecdotes
they would have been able to relate of
bygone days! What tales might be
told out of school," for this building
was once Van Dorm hall, built ex-
pressly LOT school purposes" and IA
nous as the place where Thomas B
Reed, late speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, taught school for several
months.
He was then a young man. a giant
in size and strength. fresh from Bow
dom college. and ne came to Stockton
10 ill the position vacated by his for
mer classmate, W. E. Greene. who
recommended him highly as his sue
cessor.
1t was the first and last position
held by Tom Reed as a sc~hool-teacher;
for soon afterward he received the ap-
pointment Of assistant paymaster in
the United States navy. and he then
returned in 1864 10 his eastern home.
