CARAVANS OF THE DESERT.
Gold Hunters and Consurnptives Found
 Travelling Side by slds.

Gold Hunters and consunptives Found
 Traveling Side by sidc
 Ever journeying across the desert sands and chnlbiag the arii peaks and foothills of the far southwest arc tvs caravans-one seemingly rugged and healthy, though afflicted with disease called goldomania, the other emaclated by the great whita plague.
 One is scarcely ,.1ore optimistic than the other; one procession seeks a gilt tering yellow dust that mea IS riches, the other 8 mere precious thing health. Though the trail may be long and the water holes infrequent; though the desert sun may be blister ing and the tongue swollen with thirst; though the mountains may be steep and the path strewn with cacti, there Is the glittering substance in the sand little farther on for the argonaut; q lease of life at the horizon, when the red desert sun announces the dawn of another day, for the white plagues victim.
 To many seeking their wonted vigor the hope that ever carries them on- ward Is sometimes as futile as the race after the will-o'- -the-wisp that lures the argonaut
 But the procession moves on and on; the pilgrims can not leave the sands until the mountain air and sun shine have healed the scars made by deaths chief ally.
 The main trail of the weak-lunged leads from Pecos to Yuma. For more than 1000 miles prospector and plague ridden traverse it's tortuous course In the caravan seeking gold nearly all are poor. Tn the caravan exiled and fighting for health there are rich and poor, high and low, democratic and fraternal in their ills and expectancy. To some this hope is as uncertain of realization as the prospector's pot of gol5 at the end of the rainbow. But many who have early joined the pill grims, after years of travel by day un- der the scorching sun and sleep by night in the pure air of the mountain top, end their allotted exile and return to the old home 1000 or more miles distant.
 But the ranks are soon recruited. And some there are who must travel along the great highway until the end,
 Oftentimes the bones of prospector and plague-ridden are found bleaching in the canyon. The skeleton hand of one is outstretched up the hillside, where others reach the goal-and gold; the bony fingers of the other point home.

A pERls11As1vm TnNGIrR.

About 30 years ago Henry Clay Dean, the eccentric Missouri lawyer and orator, was attending term of court, at which I was defending man on a pretty serious charge" said Judge Risdon of Kirksyille the other day. Two horse thieves that were there in jail sent for Dean. He took their case and after looking at 1t from all sides concluded the best thing for them to 'ip was to plead guilty and take two years each. His men baked on the idea of pleading guilty He told them that the penttentiary wasn't a bad sort of place; he had been all through 1t and he knew The warden a personal friend of iYline-is one of the kindest men that ever lived said Dean; he never makes you work when you are tired, and when you are sick he always looks after you like a mother. You get roasted beef and brown bread every day, and pie and turkey on Sunday. Why, when Bill Jenklns-you boys know Bill--used to run little saw mill over in the cor ner of Putnam county, they sent him up for er-borrowing corn. When he went there he didn't weigh over a hun dred and thirty pounds, regular skin and bones, and in six months he weigh ed three hundred pounds, avoirdupois and was made captain of the guard just getting along fine; said he wouldn't swap his job for any other in Missouri, and wrote his folks to come down and live with him. The prison can't hurt anything but your reputa- tion, and what does fellow who's been stealing care about reputation any way?' The two horse thieves by this time were dead anxious to plead guilty and begin life in the pen. More than that, all the other fellows in the jail who had heard Dean's talk insisted on pleading guilty and going along."-- Kansas City Star.

HAPPY CHIPMUNKs.
Cheerful Ground Squirrels That Come
 With the Spring.


 Tn Manitoba the chipmunk comes above ground about the first or second week of April. that Is, as soon as warm weather has surely set in. The regu- larity with which they appear, with the earliest soft wind of spring, sets me wondering at times whether there is not something more than mere yer biage in the phrase 'vernal influence" Snug In their deep, dark abode, far be- yond the reach of sun or frost, they cannot be reached or touched by mere temperature, nor can 1t be that they appear at set time, as some of our winter sleepers are said to do. No, they must come forth on the very day, when first the very spring is in the land.
 1 The chipmunk announces It's return to sunlight in q manner worthy of a bird. Mounted on some log or root, 1t reiterates loud, chirpy Chuck chuck chuck Other chipmunks run for their holes, for they awaken almost !, in a body; they run forth into the sun light, and, seeking some perch, add | their Chuck chuck chuck" to the I spring salute, so the glad news spreads l from point to point, from stone pile and log heap, to brush heap and fence sunmoning all the race to come forth and take part In the national retoic- | Ing.
 Dr. Charles Eastman informs me that in the wooded parts in Minnesota, the coming forth of the chfpmunks is a recognized event among the young Indians, and Is celebrated by a special hunt As soon as the bright warm days l of spring arrive to make 1t possible, the boys go forth between sunrise and 3 o'clock to some well known chip munk haunt where one of their num- Der who is an adept in initiating the creatures notes, begins the chorus with loud chirping. The chipmunks l pop out of their holes on all sides. "As many as fifty will come together and hold social reunion" Then, seeking some high perch, they join in l the spring music with a concentrated | energy that seems to make them heed- less of danger, and soon they fall in l numbers to the blunt headed arrows of tho little Indians.
 | The chipmunks are active from this time of the year on, and their sunny morning chorus is not by any means confined to that original outburst. On the 29th of April 1905, at Cos Cob, heard chipmunk In full song. He l kept 1t up for eleven minutes without ceasing, and uttered one hundred and thirty chirps to the minute, He got nc reply, Enough he worked very hard and seemed tired toward the last. On May 2S, 1905, at Cos Cob, heard achip- munk singing. He kept 1t up for three l minutes, uttering three chirps to the second. Ernest Thompson Seton in Success

were enrolled in addition to 213 in the
training school, which is the largest
total ever in the school.
Reference is made to the four years
college course established in Septem-
Der this year with sixty students Ell
rolled. Attention is called to the re
organization of courses of study to
meet the requirements of all classes
of teachers.
The library, which contains $4,000
volumes, is growing at the rate OF
5000 volumes year The new
100000 library building, work on
which has just begun, will have ca

The coin lacks the finish Of other

used as "speCtacle,' but. neverthe-
