Live by the Sun.

Little spiders OF certain species are
carried on the backs of their female
parents, In some cases for six or seven
months, without taking the slightest
visible nourishment. This fact has led
the imaginative but learned and emil
nent French naturalist. NJ. j. II. Labre.
to conclude that the young spiders live
by the absorption of solar light and
heat. AS he words It, "the motor hea,
In these young animals, Instead of be-
ing released from food, might be util-
lied directly rs the sun. source OF all
life, radiates It."

Bomb-Throwing Degenerate.

In connection with the attempt on
the life of King Alfonso IL Is recalled
that Emilio CASTELAR,, the great Spanish
statesman, once eXpl essed the opinion
that "the mountaineering anarchist Is a
degenerate, whose brain has been ex-
cited by debauches or ideas" This
theory seems to be borne out by the
description his relatives give of Manuel
Morales, who made the attempt on the
life of King Alfonso. IL Is to be noted
that while the autopsy showed the
brain of the murderer to be well
formed, the frontal lobes were found TO
be 'prodigiously developed"

ROCK SPRINGS YOUTH
DIES SUDDENLY,

Many hearts were saddened by the
news of the sudden death of Charlie,
youngest child of Mr.. and Mrs. william
Ace, which occurred at 3 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon, says the Rock Springs
Miner. He was as well as usual on
Tuesday, but complained of feeling
badly Tuesday night. On Wednesday
he was worse and a doctor was called
but his condition was not considered
alarming. On Thursday afternoon the
end came very quickly and he passed
peacefully away.
He was IA years of age and consid-
cred a very bright boy; a member of
the high school, having graduated from
the eighth grade last year.
One particularly sad fact is that
four members of the family were away
from home at the time of his death.

ChiId's Gratitude,

ChIlds Gratitude.
Carrying a pet spaniel in his arms,
S-year-old Alexander Wilson walked
into the accident room of the Samar-
itan hospital and said appealingly to
DR.. Raiman, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer:
Won't you mend my dogs leg?
He was run over by a big wagon on
the street"
DR.. Raiman tried to tell the child
that the institution was not a veteri.
nary hospital, but the child pleaded
so hard that the physician consented
to operate on the injured animal. He
found that Jessie" so the boy called
his pet, had sustained a fracture of
the left hind leg. The injured limb
was soon set and done up in splints.
When the operation was over,
Alexander began to search his peck
cts and finally produced a fve-cent
piece, all his available earthly wealth.
He gravely presented it to DR.. Raj
man. The physician told him to put
it back in his pocket. The boy in.
sisted, but finally obeyed the doctor.
AS soon as the accident room door
closed behind him Alexander took the
nickel from his pocket, rolled it
through the crack under the door into
the room and ran away.
The physician is thinking of having
a watch charm made of the nickel
piece, so hat in after years he can
lyhibit ii when he tells the story of
his first fee.

WILLING TO
TAKE DOSE
CITIZEN OF DOUGLAS BUCKS THE
STATE HORTICULTURAL LAW
AND BACKS OUT.
Secured Shipment of Trees VIOLATING
Provisions of Statute of Writ of
R%ePlevin, But Did Not lose Time
in Getting Right When Secretary
of Board Showed Up.

DR.. Aven Nelson, secretary of. the
state board of horticulture, returned
Sunday from Douglas, where he had
been to settle a dispute between a
tree agent and the agent of the rail
roa company concerning the delivery
of a shipment of young trees which had
not been tagged to comply with the
state law on horticulture. The ship
ment arrived and the agent for the rail
road company notified Dr.. Nelson, the
secretary of the board, that it did not
come within the requirements of the
law, as he had been instructed.
Thought He Was Frisky.
The c~onsignee, who was a county of
fetal of Converse county, secured a
writ of replevin and gained possession
of the shipment. After he had taken
this step he began to look into the law,
and when DR.. Nelson arrived the coun-
ty official was n of the worst scared
men in the city. Not only was he rea.
dy to comply with the terms of the law,
but he was quite willing to bind the
Nebraska nursery company, where the
shipment originated, to compliance
with the law and to do all in his pow
er to assist the board in future cases.
The matter was settled out of court,
the offending consignee feeling that he
had gotten out easily.
Law Doing Good Work.
DR.. Nelson says the law is working
beautifully and hat the people of the
state and the nurseries selling stock
in the state are keeping in line for the
betterment of the horticulture of wy
oming.

Man o Years AGO,

Man 600 Years Ago.
Ounce" is generally applied to
dull, stupid, un~teachable boys. The
person from whose name the word is
supposed to have been derived was
quite a different character.
1t was used az a term of reproach
by the Thomists to the followers Of
Dunsscotus, who was their antagonist
in a religious controversy. This
Johannes Dunsscotus' was a very
learned man, who lived about the end
of the thirteenth and beginning of the
fourteenth century. The English say
he was born in Northumberland; the
Scotch allege he was born at Duns,
in the Mers, the n~eighboring county
to Northumberland, and hence he was
called Dunsscotus.
He died at Cologne, Nov. s, 1903.
His fame was so great that when at
Oxford, 8 1000 scholars attended to
hear his lectures.
The Thomists were the followers of
Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican friar,

THE ELECTION IN GENERAL.

The apparent lack of popular inter-
est throughout most of the states, i'm
the campaign which closed yesterday
is explained by the result. The peo-
pie had made up their minds, before
the campaign began The country had
already taken solid position Tor
President Roosevelt and for the men
who are his allies and the principles
which the president represents. The
interest of the people was in those is
sues which they have heard thorough
ly discussed and concerning which they
felt the need of no further instruction.
Therefore, instead of spending time
and enthusiasm at political gatherings,
men kept on at work in the prosper
Gus conditions which make everybody
busy On the day appointed, they
went quietly to the polls, cast a vote
in accordance with the policy and
principles of the administration, re-
tired at the usual hour, and read to-
day of the result of the elections with
the same certainty of expectation as
they read the date of today's paper
The result is that which every man
must welcome who appreciates the
great issues which confront this coun-
| try. The president and the people,
whose aims are one with those Of the
president, seem to have a strong COM
gressional majority to carry out their
plans. This is commensurate with the
advance in the peoples useaaH along
the line. The judgmentsii Secured
against the New York Central railroad,
in particular, and the Standard oil
| monopoly, the end of rebat5hE by
/ which these monopolies have been
/ built up, are promises of complete VIC
Il tory for the people and their leader
The result, Of the coming winter should
put the triumph Of the peoples cause
beyond question.

Cheap Alcohol.

North Dakota Farmer: There are
large number of waste products up
on every farm which could be con-
verted into alcohol to be utilized for
fuel purposes, or light production, or
as sources of power.
Experiments made under the direc-
ton of the department of agriculture,
at Washington in Illinois canneries i'm
dictate that the corn cobs from cam
ming factories are a good source for
the supply of alcohol 1t was
found that one ton of the green cobs
yielded eleven gallons of alcohol, while
a ton of green stocks yielded six gal
| Ions. In other words, from expert
ments that have been made for
corn during the past few years it
would be indicated that there Is o
possibility of recovering as high as
Ififteen gallons of alcohol to the ton
| OF stocks The manufacture of al
Icohol in North Dakota would enable
| the farmers to utilize in bad years the
unripened grain, or in years when
corn failed to mature the crop could
| be largely converted into alcohol.
The soil of North Dakota is especi
ally adapted to the growing of pota
toes, and in northern Europe the pc
| tatoes are the chief source of the al
cohol supply. The manufacture OF
denatured alcohol should, therefore, bs
encouraged in the state, for being
without natural forests the produce
tion of fuel and energy producing
product in the state would be great
gain to agriculture, and therefore Of
direct benefit to all the people of the
state.

said a farmer near where he lived
owed him $40. He desired the attor-
ney to notify the farmer to pay this

to, notified him as requested, and by
return mail the following day received
La long reply to his letter and also a
check signed with the farmers name,
drawn on bank near a town in
which he lived, amounting to $170
