has vanished and the harvest come
to gladden. the toilcrs. She is
growing into great agricultural
state; in few years more she will
dispute for supremacy with many an
eastern state which long has been
famous for nothing else as her fer
tile acres. The miracle of the
waters. In more than one place
the snags have been cleared from
river and the channel depened and
men have rejoiced that way has
been provided through which in
rude boats they could send their lit
tie harvests to market. 1t is diff
fcrcnt up in Idaho. There the
great Snake river which through
uncountcd centuries has held its
iord1y way to where it mcrges
with the greater Columbia; its
clear waters and impelling energy
being the more accumulated by it's
blasted and dead banks, has been
induced to forsakc it's channel, to
flow out upon the descrt,to quicken
it to life; to bring out its latent
strength, so that those banks are
now in their season clothed with
emerald and gold. 1t is trans
formation such as the wild tribes
that built theirrude wickiups on its
banks and fished in its blue waters
for ages never dreamed of. And
the land responds in a way that
makes clear that it was retaining
its strength and fertility, through
all the centuries when man did
not know how to reduce them to
his use. Such grain, such fruits
and flowers, such luxuriancc OF
growth seem to be so many voices
speaking in rcproach of the ignor-
ancc of man that he has not sooner
called in the right way to them to
do their part.
And there is a statelicr flow to
the great river in the autumn when
its help is no longer needed, as
though it was conscious that II
hcnceforth was to flow through
green fields and hear the songs OF
happy children as it held its way &c
the sea.
In a few years more with her
harvests, her sugar, her fruit, Idaho
could without other resource be-
come a greater and richer state
than either of many tamuos agri-
cultural states OF the east. Blu
she has other sources of wealth,
real wealth, which make sure {
convenient market for the products
of her soil. Her mines show M
sign OF failure. She has gold ant
silver and lead; within her owl
boundaries she is perfectly equipped
to support unassisted great popu
lation and to enable them to grow
richer as the years roll on.
And her people are a strong, splen
did race, alert in all fields of higl
endeavor, such as give assuranc
that in peace or war, everywher
and on all occasions will make sue
an accounting of themselves as vii
be an honor to their state and I
their country.

ly. He would wave his arm, indi-

round them, Katie, way round ~
Off would dash Katie in a headlong
run, disappearing amid the timber
or around a hill. But all along
her course we could see the sheep
scuttling in from outlying points
twos and thrccs and cights and
tens of them, old and young, I'M
til the herd was compact once more.
Presently, perhaps opposite to us,
there would be Katie, standing and
gazing for further instructions.
The herder would slap his thigh
and signal her in.
One might talk to Katie just as
to human being. Nov, Katie,
would Instruct the herder. II
want you to herd the sheep from
the rim rock yonder to the timber.
Don't let them stray outside"
Yet, Katie understood. She sat
and watched the sheep. The herd
er went to sleep. Katie made an
occasional circuit, and if any sheep
were found beyond the rim rock or
in the timber, they were sent sour
rying back.
Or the herdcr would say, Katie,
there's a lamb there | want to
catch; but we'll let the eve
alone
Once Katie knew which lamb it
was, she would pay attention to no
other, nor would she pay attention
to it's mother the eve. That one
lamb in bunch of thousand other
lambs, she would stick to uncrring-
ly until with her assistance the
hcrder had caught it.
Intelligent and lovablc as Katie
was, and much as she solicited it,
was not allowed to pet her.
''I'd rather you'd cuff her when
she comes near you,' said tie
hcrdcr.
This seems strange; for with
most men it is, Love me, love my
dog;" but the hcrder explained
that he wanted his dog attached to
him only. They were alone to-
gether, and it was necessary that
Katie mind him absolutely, and b9
his second self, with thoughts for
no other person. A dog like Katie
is extremely sensitive; u cross word
will cut her to the heart. To strike
shsep dog is sometimes to lose its
friendship forever, and even to
drive it away to other quarters.
1t is this sensitiveness that marks
acute intelligence.
