This difference in our viewpoint

the progress of our civilization.
You may think this strange

seldom knows what he is talking
about. That is, when he is using
human speech. The rooster tells
his flock when hawk Is near, by
one call; calls the hens to share
some food of his finding, by an
other; challenges the neighboring
cock by still another, and warns
the hens of the approach Of dog
or other enemy that does not ap-
proach from above. These calls
are familiar to nearly everyone.
The crow, according to Audubon,
has twenty seven different calls.
The Canada goose has distinct
call for danger signal, with
which I am familiar. That is the
reason why some hunters fail to
call them over decoys; since it is
more distinct and is easier to imi-
tate than it's other calls.
One could 60 on enumerating
the animals and birds, which ap-
pear to have a language, indefi-
nitely, since all the birds, except
vultures and few of those that
feed on fish, have voice. While
a few reptiles and insects have no
voice, a great many more have
strong vocal powers. There is
reason to believe that the majority
of animals communicate by telep-
athy, using only the voice to di-
rect the attention of those with
whom they wish to communicate.
In view of the facts known con-
corning the habits Of so many ami
mails, it is mystery to me why
people will persist in clubbing them

find it rather hard to swallow the
appeals for reelection, which oc-

As We See Things.

It is fact that no two persons
ever see an identical object in the
same light. This popularity may
be assigned to various causes:
physical conditions of the behold
er; mental capacities; moral, social
and political training, etc. By
physical conditions I mean not
alone the individual bodily attrib-
utes, but the position, environ
ments, sentiments, likes and
dislikes, ownership, etc. For in
stance: My dogs bark is not so
annoying as the other fellows.
Then there are the subjects men,
tai capacities and training. If his
education is greater than that Of
his fellows, or if it has been along
opposite lines, his view of an OBJ
ject is of course dlssimilar to that
Of others. If his intellect is
keener he sees more in the object
at Issue than they.
But it is not my intention to
attempt an explanation of this
phenomenon, which long has baf-
fed both physicists and psycholo-
gists, but rather to point out few
of the interesting phases arising
out of this difference in our point
of view.
All depends on how we see it.

The Language
o. Of Animals.

Animals, generally referred to
as dumb brutes, are not, with
very few exceptions, absolutely
dumb. They all have some
means of communication with
their own species. However, their
vocabulary is generally limited to
a few calls, including a danger
signal, call to the young, another
for the mate, and an expression of
satisfaction. Some have a large
assortment of calls, the meaning
of which it is difficult to deter
mine.
Those who are familiar with the
habits of dogs, know that to ex-
press different emotions they use
different sounds and actions. The
howl of lost dog is not like his
growl of anger, or his sharp, quick
barks and whines of pleasure in
greeting his master.
The wolf has a distinct call to
summon his kind to the chase,
which can easily be distin-
guished from his cry when he is
only bowling at the moon. That
they have other calls that have
significance, I am certain, for /
once noticed an incident that oc-
CURED while a friend and /
were staying at logging camp
which had been unused for about
two weeks. The camp buildings
were situated on hill. The tim
Der, which had been Norway pine,
had been cut during the winter,
leaving only the tops and stumps,
SO that clearing was left about
half mile around the camp. We
were in the cook shanty one day
when we saw through the back
window a wolf eating at the gar
bage heap. When it started away
we went outside and watched him
until he was about half way to the
woods, when he gave a few yelps
and another wolf came and accom-
panied him back to the feast.
The bobcat, Of Northern Mime
sofa, has eleven distinct calls that
I have counted, tho I don't know
what they mean. One, which is
like the note of those small owls,
called by the natives ''sawwhets. !"
It is used when they hunt in pairs,
I suppose, to aid them in keeping
a certain distance apart.
Birds, tho they arc MOI referred
to as dumb brutes, are in reality
just as dumb as animals so desig-
mated. The most familiar example
of bird language is exhibited by
the common barnyard fowl. Pos
sibly some would say the parrot
took first honors. But q parrot

,,spinster OF forty five with sarcasm.
The young man of twenty looks
upon the same bridal pair with
interest; the married man of forty
with indifference; and the bach
elor Of sixty with disgust. Mrs.
| Newwed beholds her first pie with
pride and satisfaction; her hus-
band with a sickening in the re-
gion of the heart. The young
man from the city is greatly de-
lighted and amused by the antics
of the sportive cow and calf in the
pasture, while the practical farmer
is chagrined because they trample
down the grass.
The poet is transported into rap
turous ecstasy in .beholding the
"cedar's dim cathedral and the
palace of the pine," and begins to-
rhyme fine, pine, and divine;
while your true woodsman upon
seeing the same majestic forests
mentally begins to calculate the
millions of feet of lumber con-
tanned in them, and the best way
to bring them to market. The
painter sees in the rugged and
lofty mountains objects Of idyllic
beauty, and tries at once to transfer
them tot his canvas; the prospect
or beholds the Identical mountains,
but sees not their beauty, he looks
only for ''psy streak"
The young and thoughtless see
the beautiful sunset with careless
delight; the tired laborer with
thankfulness; and the old, whose
days will be few, with regret. The
attorney sees in the big book of
statutes large fees and a fat living;
his clients see the same big bills,
but oh, with what different feel
ings! The doctor looks upon his
bottle of diabolical mixture with
satisfaction and thinks: "That'll
fix imp His patient regards the
same bottle with dire misgivings
and wonders: "Will that kill
me?' The old spinster beholds
in her furry and frowsy old cat an
object of incompatible beauty;
the unfeeIing man sees in that
decrepit feline thing disgusting.
And thus I could 60 on and de-
scribe the various and peculiar
ways we have of regarding things.
But enough has been said to illus
trate my point, and the fact re-
mains that we do behold objects
in different lights. Not alone is
this true of two or more people,
but the same individual does not
see an object twice in the same
light. Upon beholding it the
second time he either sees more
than he did the first time, or less.
For instance, we may see a picture
which at first sight seems very
beautiful; a second look may re-
veal to US the fact that it is mere
blotch of light and shade or COL
ors. And the case may be re-
versed. What at first seemed like
a daub may upon a second and bet
ter look. prove to be masterpiece.
Nature has done nothing hap.
hazard, and this is one of her
Interchangeable. If it were not
so we should perhaps all want to
live In the same country, own the
same home, do the same kind of
work, and-yes, marry the same
woman. But our tastes and fam
cies are, happily, dissimilar. No
matter what our station in life is
we are happy and contented if our
natures are not corrupted by greed
and jealousy. It is true that there
