WHAT A GOOD SEBPDOG KNOWS.
 What herd dog has first to learn is to know every one of two or three hun dred sheep and to know them both by sight and smell This he does thor oughly. When Watterson was running sheep on the plains he had young col lie not vet put to the herd, but kept about the pumping plant. As the sheep came in by hundreds to the troughs the ] dog grew so to know them that when they had picked up stray from an- other band he discovered it from afar off, and, darting at a hornet, nipping and yelping, parted it out from the band. At that time no mere man would have pretended, without the aid of the brand, to recognize any of the thousands that bore 1t.
 How long recollection stays by the dog is not certain, but at least a twelvemonth, as was proved to Filon Girard after he had lost a third of his band when the Santa Anna came roar ing up by Lone Pine with cloud of saffron colored dust on its wings. Af- ter the shearing of next year, passing close to another band, Filon's dogs set themselves unbidden to routing out of it, and rounding with their own, nearly twenty head, which the herder, being an honest man, freely admitted he had picked up on the mesa following after Filon the spring before.
 Quick to know the wilful and unbld- dable members of flock, the wise col lie is not sparing of bites, and, follow | ing after stubborn stray, will often throw 1t and stand guard until help arrives or the sheep shows q better
 mind. But the herder who has dog
 trained at the difficult work of herding range sheep through the chutes and runways into boats and cars for trans portatlon is the fortunate fellow
 There was Petes dog, Bourdaloue, that at the Stockton landing, with no assistance, put eight hundred wild sheep from the highlands on the boat in eight minutes by running along the backs of the flock until he had picked out the stubborn or stupid leaders that caused the sheep to jam in the runway and by sharp bites set them forward, 1 himself treading the backs of the rac- ing flock. like the premiere equestrienne of the circus. which all the men of the shipping cheered to see.-Mary Austin in Harper's.

There are many who seek to unriddle The secret the sphinx has concealed. But give me mellow old fiddle, And II it is never revealed don care a darn, I'll be toeing It off to the scratch of the bow; on, the days of the autumn are going Let's play 'em tune as they go. Let's arms round the girls, go a'swing-
 ing,
 With hearts beating glad to tune That the tiddles are screeching and
 singing,
 Or, out heath the light of the moon, Go walking with someone beside us, As glad as the season is glad. When we're old then whatever betide Cant steal the good times we have
 had.
 There's Mary and Nellie and Molly, And Betty and Jennie and Sue; Oh, never a note melancholy
 The Tilt of the music comes through There's laughing and talking and sigh There's teasing and chaffing and fun, And calling across and replying, From sunset until the new sun, So let tho sphinx hang to her riddle. Or others go ponder the rune. It's me for the scratch of the fiddle And the world swinging round to a
 tune
 It's me for the clasping and swinging, The balancing lassle and lad, The scrape of the bow and the singing, And all the world happy and glad,

1 LITTLE MOTE oRSrRrcrroN

Our Panama canal isn't getting to
 be a canal very fast. Awhile ago it
 was announced that contractors had put in bids for supplying Chinese to dc
 digging. Now some doubt is express ed that contractors will be able to carry out any contract which may be award ed for supplying coolie labor. Prefer ably, because of climatic conditions, the Tsthmian Commission desires that any laborers sent to the Isthmus shall come from the southern provinces of China. In that section reports receiv- ed at the Chinese legation show that not a single Chinese newspaper favors the immigration of Chinese to Panama, as the experiences of those who went there for the French Canal Company are still fresh in the minds of the peo- pie. The Chinese were unable to with stand the conditions then existing, and u iS Sdlu lHdl dDuuL io per cent, or those who went there died This nor
 tality was due largely to the unhealthy sanitary surroundings then prevailing
 on the isthmus, which, however have been vastly improved under the Amer ican administration of affairs. Peti-
 tions from Chinese residents in Peru,
 San Francisco, and at Panama have been sent to the government at Pekin asking that it refuse it's sanction to any proposition to permit contract la
 borers to go from China to Panama
 Thus far however, the Chinese author ities have remained passive in the mat ter, and have not made any representa- tions to the United States.
 Interesting. Perhaps there are people who don't want this canal dug. If there are they must get out of the way. If
 not MT. Roosevelt will have to be re.
 elected until the big job is done, or SC

rt,r r F14G 4BoYE THE SCHOOL

THE FLAG ABOYE THE SCHOOL.
 There is a stir in Manitoba over the order of the Provincial Ministry that hereafter the Union Jack must be flown during school hours above every school which receives funds from the public treasury. The government will provide the first flag for each school, but the trustees will be required to replace it when it is worn out. and every school which fails thus to display the flag dur ing school hours will forfeit it's right to public support. The Prime Minister, MT. Robin, in explaining the order says frankly that 1t is intended chiefly for effect upon immigrant children from non-B British lands. "We welcome the various peoples that come to our prov ince who are born under foreign flags" he says, "and we give them immediate ly the benefit of our civil laws and their children obtain free education in the public schools" But he adds: "The man who comes from a foreign country in order to better his circumstances and to make a home for himself and his family, who objects to perpetuating the glories of our flag, who declines to have his children infused with British pa- triotism, is a man that is undesirable"
 True as preaching. The flag above the school is all right, as we in the United States know.

Governor Bell, of Vermont, who is a man with a backbone, made this allu- sion to capital punishment in the course of his farewell address to the legislature on Thursday: During my term of office 1t became my duty to see that this law was carried into effect. In the general discussion of the subject thus occasion cd in the State and elsewhere I have been deeply impressed with the fact that Vermont has more regard for the law than for sickly sentimentaity. I am more firmly convinced than ever be- fore that, as a safeguard against vio- lence and as a protection to society in general, the law making capital punish ment, in some form, the extreme penal ty for crime should be retained on our statute books.

Interior Miiiers Have No antage
Over Minneapolis.

From Fridays Daily.
A meeting of millers along the Chicag,
& Northwestern road was held in Man
kato last evening to consider the matter
of changes in freight rates proposed to
be asked for by Minneapolis millers.
who claim that Mankato and Other
points OIL the road have the advantage
of them OH Chicago rates by 21Es cents a
hundred. The minneapolis millers have
made tentative proposition to change
the rates so that the alleged advantage
of the interior millers shall no Longer

FOOL GIRLS IN CHICAGO.
They Would Make q Hero Cut Of the
Murderer IVenS.

Chicago, June 9.-"Undcr no circum
stances whatever shall howels he Leiiv
cred to the cell of Richard G. Irens, now
confined in this jail under sentence oil
death for the brutal murder of wOm
an"
Warden Whitman of the county jai
has issued this order to all deputies and
guards of the institution, and thereby
effectually blocked the attempts of many
women to iOniZe the man who attacked
and murdered Mrs. Bessie Hollister.
In the case of other men held in the
county Jail awaiting the execution of
the death sentence, hundreds of women
and girls have spent much time and
money in visiting the jail and in sending
flowers to the condemned. The practice,
while not encouraged. has not been for
hidden by the authorities, and Whit
mans order was the first of its kind ever
issued in the state of Illinois.
81 shall not permit man like lvens
to become an object of morbid curiosity
said Mr.. Whitman every day the
steps of the Jail are filled with Idle girls
and women who, having nothing better
to do, come to talk to and sympathize
with Ivens. l shall not permit Ivens
from now on to see any strange woman.
and all who come here for that purpose
will be turned away disappointed"
Yesterday many women carrying flow
ers visited the Jail and requested to see
Ivens. All were requested to place their
names and the object of their visit on
a card and this was submitted to Mr..
Whitman for approval. Only the pris-
oner's relatives were admitted.
Many dollars worth of flowers ad-
dressed to the condemned man were de-
livered at the gate, but all of these were
thrown away.
''ThrOw these flowers into the street" "
was the order. Don't let any of them
get to Ivens, and don't let him know
that there are any women in Chicago
crazy enough to make him the object of
their attentions"
Assistant States Attorney Olsen has
decided to fight an application on the
part of Ivens for stay in execution
pending a motion for new trial. The
state will endeavor to see that the exc
cution is carried out on the day fixed
by the court.
