There is nothing more significant
| that the recent elections showing that
the people are aroused. This the Daw-
son News observes as real and gener-
! al awakening of the people as to the
performance Of duty by public servants.
And this does not stop at the F1esi-
dent, ST Congressman and at Governors
of States. 1t goes all the way down
the line. 1t says to each and every
public servant, even down to the Off
cials of the smallest town and to the
constable out in the country district:
1--WE expect you to do your duty, we
expect you to do the things we elect
you to do, that we pay you to do, that
you take the oath of office to do; we
want you to toe the mark and do your
duty, remembering that man placed
in office should have no aspiration
higher than the faithful performance
of duty and to win the confidence Of
his people .
That is the sentiment Of the people
to-day. There is no sort of doubt about
it, and the official who doubts it and
closes his ears to the voice of his people
is foolish and will live to repent his
blindness or stlff-necked course.
There is no "fanaticism," no wave of
"crankism," in this attitude OF the
public mind. 1t is a real awakening Of
the people, who mean to nave faithful
and honest adherence to duty. High
and low alike OF office-holders may be
warned where any one of them knows
he is not living up to his duty aud his
oath Of office.

water and when first deposited are COW

THE CALM BAD MAN.
He Is More Dangerous Than the One
Who Busters.

He Is More Dangerous Than the One
Who Busters.
The bad man of genuine sort rarely
looked the part assigned to him in the
popular Imagination. The long haired
blusterer, adorned with a dialect that
never was spoken, serves very we'll in
eastern fiction about the west, but that
is not the real thing. The most danger
Gus man was apt to be quiet and
smooth spoken. When an antagonist
clustered and threatened, the most
dangerous bad man only felt rising in
his own soul, keen and stern, that
strange exultation which often comes
with combat for the man naturally
brave. A western officer Of established
reputation once said to me while speak
ing Of a personal difficulty into which
he had been forced: Il hadn't been in
anything of that sort for years, and 1
wished 1 was out of it. Then 1 said to
myself, is it true that you are getting
old and have lost your nerve?' Then
all at once the old feeling came over
me, and 1 was just like I used to be. 1
felt calm and happy, and 1 laughed aft
er that. 1 jerked my gun and showed
it into his stomach. He put up his
hands and apologized. I will give you
a hundred dollars now,' he said, IF
you will tell me where you got that
gum 1 suppose 1 was a trife quick
for him."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

BIRD JOURNEYS.
Small Animals often Travel ON TIA
Backs of Large Ones.

Small Animals Often Travel ON th4
Backs of Large Ones.
1t has often been asked how small
and weak birds manage to fly such
enormous distances when migrating.
AS a rule, however, small birds that
have come very far across the sea
have not flown, but have been blown
owe during violent gales, and many OF
them arrive on land in a half dead
condition.
In fair weather small birds make
long journeys successfully over con-
siderable tracts of ocean, but the rea.
son is that they are carried on the
backs of the larger ones. When pass.
ing an autumn in Crete a writer as.
serts that he distinctly heard the twit.
tering of small birds when f1Ocks of
sand cranes were passing overhead Oh
their way to southern shores. On an.
other occasion, when firing a gun, be
saw three small birds rise from the
flock and disappear again among the
cranes. A native priest assured him
that they came over from Europe
with them, while it has been found
that small birds, never before seen in
certain parts, have been brought thith.
er at times of migration.
Another JUS is that small birds do
not make their journeys in one flight.
They generally rest during the day,
searching for food, and thus proceed
to their destination by easy stages.

Costly Competitions.

When a new cathedral or a new col
lege is to be built it is well that archi-
tects should compete for it, for then,
other things being equal, the best man
gets the job and the best possible kind
Of building is assured. Few persons,
though, realize what it costs an archi-
tect to enter a competition. They do
not understand the time and labor that
must be devoted to the design, the esti-
mates. etc. There is one firm of archi-
tects in this city that spent $500 last
year On a single competition. This firm
entered ten competitions altogether,
winning four of them, and the total cost
to it was $7,000.-Philadelphia Bulletin.
