TWO ANIMALS ARE IN ONE.

Half of a Chameleon May BE Wide
Awake and the other Asleep.
To all appearances and according to
the researches OF those best capable of
forming an opinion on the subject the
nervous centers In one lateral half of
the chameleon go on independently of
those on the other, and 1t has two lat
eral centers of perception-sensation
and motion--besides the common one
In which must reside the faculty of
concentration.
The eyes move independently Of one
another and convey separate impress
sions to their respective centers Of per
ception The consequence is that when
the animal is agitated its movements
resemble those of two animals or rather
perhaps two halves of animals glued
together. Each half wishes u go its
n way and there Is no concordance

four-legged vertebrate that Is unable

later this was enlarged to accommodate
vehicles. In 1884 the building of rail

four years later another project of the

to carry on their sturdy backs all the

driven, and thereafter special locomo

up the summit. The road is nine and

Full 40 years have come and gone since
the boys of 81
Came marching back, in their faded blue,
from the fields that they had won.
Full 40 years have passed away, their
ranks are sadly thin,
But whitened locks nor feeble limbs can
queneh the fires within.
And now they tell how once they fought
their country's battles Ger;
Of charges made and victories wor on
loattlefields of yore;
OF Gettysburg and Donelson you often
hear them tell;
Of comrades dear who persisted there IN
the rain of shot and shell.
At Mission Ridge, at Seven Oaks, on
Chickamauga's plain.
Death walked abroad. with awful mica,
Grim Reaper, through the grain.
Right on the brave old heroes went. nor
finched when facing death,
Their lines of blue closed up when thin
ned by the baleful lannon's breath.
With Farragut at New Orleans and
bloody Mobile Bay
They worked their guns, and courted
dealh, fighting their bloody way
Past forts manned with the very best OF
Dixie's Cavaliers,
And broke the yoke the slaves had worn
for many weary years.
Shall we. their sons, forget the deeds Of
warriors gone before,
When the same old Flag they fought te
save is colored with their gore?
Shall we forget, and calmly sit. while the
grizzled veterans march
Beneath the trees of this broad and
their own triumphal arch?
Shall we forget the sainted dead who al
their country's call
Gave up their lives in prison pens, and
sleep beneath the pail
Of Southern cypress, or beneath the
snowy cotton fields,
In graves unmarked still slumber on, al
rest upon their shields?
No! no. i say, well not forget the deed.
Of these our sires,
But on our affairs win renew our Nations
hallowed fires.
Our dear cid Flag. the Stars and Stripes
We'll proudly raise on high,
Our hearts will throb with a patriot
zeal. our cheers will reach the sky
Our fathers deed will be the pride Of
thousands yet unborn
A thousand years viii scarce efface IL,
glories that adorn
The noble brows of those we love, Colum
bias bravest sons,
Who offered life, sacrifice. mid the thun
der of her guns
Let US, then. stand, their t,yal sons, an,
lend a helping hand
To those who in the hour of need CAV
succor TO our land.
Their mem'ries keep. their graves keel
green, the Flag that once they Dor
In Southern lands shall be oar pride an.
care forever more.
And when at last our race is run, and W
cross the shining strand,
We pray our sons may do the same, an.
keep our native land
Free from the hand that would destn
what they fought hard to gain,
And try as hard as they have tried GU

Capt John Kicker was Oh of those
daredevil fellows In the war, and he
cared for nothing. One night after
there had been a fierce fight we found
him stretched on the ground In an IN
conscious condition, and the doctor said
there was no chance to save him. So
we covered his body over, and went on
to look after the others
After a while We got back to the
captain again, and the doctor found
that be was still living, but unconscious.
The doctor assured us that there was
no chance for his life, but, after con-
sultatIon, we decided that we ought to
arouse him and let him know that he
was about to die and ask him IL he
wished any message sent to his FAM
lily. He was accordingly rolled abo1t
on the ground and punched to a mild
extent to bring him to his senses
Pretty soon Kicker opened his eyes,
and the doctor told him that there was
NJ chance of his living UNITY morning.
and asked II there was anything he
wished done. Kicker motioned to wal
let that was fastened In his clothing,
and the doctor opened It. First, a small
photograph was held up, to see IL it wa1
that which was wanted. but Rick er
shook his head and signaled to he dc-
tor to keep on. Then three or four
letters were pulled out, one by one. and
then another photograph, all of which
were received with looks of disgust
from Kicker.
''At last the doctor pulled out dirty
$40 bill. rolled up into a small ball,
and this was held up to Kicker A
glance Of approval shot across the face
of Kicker, and he raised himself slight
ly on his elbow and beckoned to the
doctor to get nearer, and then be sshis-
pered hoarsely: L will bet you that.
dn you, that live longer than you
do
s'The truth is that Kicker got better,
was made major, attended the funeral
of the doctor. and did not die until a
few years age" Lewiston Journal.

The New State of Oklahoma.
No sooner had Congress passed the

State, than poets began singing songs
Of the new member of the Sisterhood

1t has been only seventeen years
since oklahoma Territory was opened
for settlement, bu. to-day its popula-

combineS population of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory is estimated at 1850

The census of 1900 gives Indian Terri
tory's population as composed of 302,-
$50 whites, % 800 Indiaps, and 1858
negroes. The new State Will have an
area of 70.230 square miles. 1t will be
larger than Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illi-

also has natural gas and oil deposits.
The new State will be rich Ia salt.

Farmer. Arc Beneac.arie..

Among farmers one does not hear
the demand for tariff revision that was
heard the last time there was an agi-
tation for reduction of tariff. That
was in 1S90-1S92. The Farmers ALI
ance at that time voiced the demand
and politicians took up the cry for the
purpose of riding into Office on the
crest Of the popular wave. The result
was that there was change and the
farmer got the worst OF the deal At
this time the politicians lead the de-
mand for revision. They must have an
issue and have to fan life into the old
revision idea. thinking that the farm
ers viii tumble all over themselves for
the benefit Of the politicians. But they
don't enthuse very hard OF course, a
Democratic farmer enthuses, but he
does it because Of his party principles.
Republican farmers recognize that they
are the benefciaries of the sound eco
nomic system maintained by the Re
