Some Pulling Facts.

Farmers find many curious
things happening around them
every day which they cannot I'M
derstand, aid nobody, even scien-
fists, can explain for them. Why,
for instance, does q horse strain a
drink of water through its lips2
Why does o COW poke her entire
face into the bran mash, eat ali
she can, then lick her nostrils
with her tongue? Why does the
chicken drink exactly opposite to
the horse and cow, having to hold
it's head up when it swallows a
drink of water? Then note the
pigeon, of the same feathered
family, as it keeps it's bill i'm
mersed while drinking. But a
dog laps the water in it's mouth
This animal, moreover, never
chews it's food, while the cat, his
companion household pet, always
chews thoroughly before swallow
ing. How is it that failing to
masticate does not hurt a deg,
while IN cases of all other ami
mails, including man unchewed
food causes dyspepsia? Why has
a COW a cud, and why can a horse
SILVER it's hide to drive away flies?
These questions and many more
like them that might be asked
will show US that we are far from
from knowing it all.-American

NO JURY YET.
W. 0. Haywood will be Placed on Trial
for His Life.

Boise, Idaho, May Civilian
D. Haywood, first of the alleged
participants in the avenging con-
spiracy by which it is averred the
assassination of Frank Steuten-
berg was plotted and executed,
was placed on trial for his life to-
day. Counsel for State and pris-
oner entered at once upon the ex-
animation of prospective jurors
and kept steadily at the task for
five shours. No juror was
finally accepted, but substantial
progress was made and the indl-
cations are that a jury may be
obtained by the end of next week.
= The opening day of the trial
was earnest and business-like.
Its striking feature was the alb
scence of demonstrations. At no
time, morning or afternoon, was
the court room more than half
filled, and the streets forming the
court house square contained not
a single %loiterer.
The case was halted shortly be-
fore 5 O'Clock by the exhaustion
of the jury panel and adjourn
ment was taken until Monday.
Meantime the sheriff will sum

The II mon under examination,
but not yet finally accepted or le-
jected, were locked up aud will be

TRIED TO MURDER her.
Soldier Shoots his wife and the Result
Proves Fatal to Himself,

A terrible and startling tragedy
occurred in the ordinary peaceful

terday afternoon, as a result of
which a man lies dead, two other
persons. a man and a woman,

the chances seeming to favor the
death of both.
From facts which could be gath
cred in the city lastnight, after a
futile attempt had been made to
reach the fort by phone, it seems
there We're two parties in the
shooting and that the action was
taken by one in defense of the
life of the other.
The tragedy occurred early yes
terday afternoon, shortly before
4 o'clock, when Henry Hamilton,
a private in the 10Th Co. artillery
corps, for some reason, now un-
known, became angry with his
wife and fred at her, the ball

After Mr.. Cleveland Again.

From Democratic sources it is
learned that efforts are being
made to induce Grover Cleveland
to become a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the
presidency in 1908. Some of the
most powerful financial interests
of New York city are back of this
movement. In it are included
as many Republicans as Demo-
Gratis.
The idea is to put Cleveland
forward in the hope of eliminating
Byanism and Hearstism and Sc

A NEAT RETURT.
ambassador Reid Comes Back at the
Poet Laureate.

The American press is having
a great deal of sport at the ex-
pense of Alfred Austin, the Brit
ish poet laureate, on account of
the neatness with which he was
tripped and bested one evening
last week by Whitelaw Reid, the
American ambassador to Great
Britain. at a dinner in London,
given by the latter, and at which
the alleged poet was a guest. In
the course of a response to a toast
Austin, with singular i'll manners,
exclaimed: "How unfortunate
that America, which has produced
so many millionaires, has not
brought forth a poet in recent
years." The guests were thunder
struck. Ambassador Reid rose to
the occasion. america consoles
herself" he replied genially,
with the thought that even Eng
land has poetless periods. Such
a period has s%upervened since Ten
nyson died.
It makes little difference, as
the Washington Post suggests,
that Mr.. Reid was not exat, since
Swiuburne and Kipling wrote poe
try, undoubtedly, and that both
are yet living. He countered very
handsomely, nevertheless, on the
laureate, who. the Post further
tells us, would not have succeed
ed Tennyson except for political
reasons. Both Swinburne and
Kipllng had attacked Russia saw
agely, and the choice of either of
them it was thought, would be
resented in that empire, with
which it was considered desirable
to sustain friendly relations.
But Ambassador Reid did him.
