PROCLAMATION
For Relief of Russian Famine.

In this age of Christian brotherhood,
no call for the deserving hungry should
go unheard. ! have received from
Samuel j. Barrows, Secretary of the
Russian Famine Committee, an appeal
which that Committee is making to
the Governors OF the different States,
which contains the following:
Direct information obtained by the
Committee from personal witnesses,
as well as from the public press and
official sources, confirms reports as to
the vast magnitude of the calamity
and the widespread misery it entails.
In the next three months before the
new harvest can be sown and reaped,
disease and death from slow starvation
will be the last act in the dark tragedy.
Our country is prosperous and gen.
erOusand has often responded tOappeals
to aid unfortunate sufferers. ****t
If the people OF the United States can
be made to fully understand the con-
uItIO1S III huoclh, thCJ VIII give
promptly and generously to avert the
disease and death which threatens
hundreds Ofthousands of fellow beings.
The Committee expresses the hope
that you will call attention to this
calamity by public proclamation SO
that opportunity may be given to the
people of your state to aid the stricken
people of Russia"
Contributions should be sent to the
Secretary, Samuel j. Barrows, 1875 East
18th Street, New York City, and will
be deposited with and acknowledged
by the Morton Trust Company.
Let this noble charity be invoked
everywhere, in Church, Sunday school,
Fraternal and Benevolent Organiza-
tons and individual contributions,
and let the aid be promptly extended
because delay of too great length will
make the help unavailing.
In Witness Whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great
Seal OF the State Of South Dakota to
be affixed.

at IS important to be cool and self

writes one who has commanded men
in battle. "AS soon as the first shot is
fired men become serious and go into
action with a CalmncSs which is most
impressive. High explosive shells,
with their dcafening noise. make the
most impression ON young and unsea-
soned soldiers, while shrapnel affects
the old soldiers the most. Those who
imagine that 1t is possible to see a
heroic look on mems faces at a de-
cisive moment are completely miStak-

hard look about them. The struggle
which is going on within them betrays
itself by the nervous haste of their

When \ Girl Graduates

Not SO very long ago graduation
came but once in a girls lifetime. To-
day no less than four distinct and
separate graduations mark the upward
steps in her education; and as each OF
these is honored by a public reception
given at the school, graduation gowns
are required by girls OF all ages. This
e arrangement makes the wee grille
graduating from the primary into the
grammar school quite as important a
parsonage, for the time being, as she
who graduates into or out OF high
schoolor college.

silks are coming into vogue for child

This material is dresssy yet inexpens-
i've, since it requires less trimming
than washable material.
Girls at the age when they graduate
from the grammar school are apt to be
AWKWARD NAV az we'll admit it,
and their successful %gOwning requires
careful study.
Graduation gowns, as a rule, are
pure white; occasionally, however, one
see in the girdle, or in a scarf or a
shOulder-knot, an expression OF the
c~lass-colors. The materials may be
simple or elaborate, ranging from a
dainty dimity to a chiffon, crepe de

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
British View of the Course It Will
 Probably Take.

We believe that extreme reluctance to take any such step is due to cause which is the origin of half the difficulties in American politics-the great jealousy of the power of the Federal government which has marked the entire history of the union, which is the source of the partial opposition to Mir. Roosevelt's pol icies but which the people arc slowly. very slowly, being forced by their devel- opment to give up They want their union to be great nation, and must consequently invest the federal govern ment with the powers-international, mill itary, and fnancial-which every other great nation possesses. To do this com pletely they may be compelled to revise the Constitutions; but undoubtedly, as things cannot be and not be at one and the same time. sSey must in the end, however reluctantly agree to that reduce ton of local independences. They did 1t in the civil war when they authorized conscription; they will have to do 1t if they limit the extent of individual fortunes or establish a graduated success sion duty. and they must do it whenever in any emergency the nation is compelled suddenly to put forth it's national strength. The reluctance is natural enough for million of men have died to preserve the Constitution as it is; but Provldence mas passed no law eNehhp'ihs Americans from the pressure of events or the operation of necessities They will have to accept them. willingly or unwili- ingly and will-gradually find that the only effect of the changes is to make their choice of a President, and therefore of his cabinet--for cabinet ministers in America are legally only clerks-more and more matter of vital importance. The President of the United States will in no lcng period of time be the greatest cleo tive monarch history has ever known.

toothpick was put in its cage, but instead a coarse silver of ivory and a stone. The monkey first tried the ivory in it's rough state. and finding 1t did not work rubbed 1t down to a point.
 Perhaps the most astonishing incident of all is described by M. Hachet-Souplet, as follows: q taught a parrot the word 'armoire' (cupboard), at the same time showing it little cupboard which l could fasten to the wall in different parts or the laboratory. and from which l always gave her her daily allowance of food / Then 1 taught her several other words always trying to identify them with the object named. Among these was lad der, and taught her tile word mount al ways performing the act when we used the word.
 Now, one day hung the armoire with the parrots food on a nall near the cell ing while the ladder lay in corner among other articles familiar to the bird The problem. then was: When the parrot was brought Into the room, what would she do when she saw the arnioire high up out of reach on the wall, her usual habit being to reach ''More, 'more, 'moire. until fed her.
 "She spotted the armoire in second, and when I raised my arm and showed her l could not reach 1t she became greatly excited, and gnawed at the bars of her cage violently screaming "Moire, 'moire! This day I could get no further result. I fed her on millet, for which she didn't care much. giving her no hemp seed, of which she was very fond.
 .srhe next day she began by going into a great rage. Then her eye seemed sud denly to light on the ladder. Suddenly she screamed ''Chelle, chelle; monte, monte Qor 'Echelle, montez, meaning ladder, mount.) This Is fact. Was it merely a coincidence or was 1t a genuine effort of reasoning under strong stimu- lation? The question is at least an open one. Of course, do not so much think the effort of thought lay in the use of the words as in recognizing that the ladder and the act of mounting it, which she as- sociated with the words would solve the problem of reaching the cupboard.'

Mental Power of Animals.

Many animals are found to have men, tai power sufficient to operate easy mechanisms. Birds will supply tenn selves with water by working a little winch to raise a tiny bucket from a miniature well. Even fish will learn to push open a door that flinders their movements, but they cannot learn to lift latch. This, however, can be taught to some birds. and many ami mals will do 1t of their own accord. Birds will learn to open a drawer, in which their feed is placed.
 Sense of weight was developed in dog by using marbles of different densi- ty as playthings. They were all ground to the same size and all painted the same color. There was absolutely no way of telling then apart except by the difference in weight. Then the dog was told to fetch the "heavy one." and after some training he learned to do it un- failingly.
 Some progress toward developing the idea of personal identity in birds and animals was made by means of look ing glass. A majority failed altogether to respond, but a few grasped the idea that the images they saw were them selves. A night heron was observed to take great pleasure in looking at it. self. Experiments were made by put ting fluff of bright color on its wings without attracting its attention. Then it was put in front of the mirror. It noticed the fluff at once and instead of pecking at the mirror began picking the fun from its own wings. Some parrots and parakeets also seemed to recognize themselves. White rats seemed to be attracted by the re- factions of their tails
 As a proof of reasoning power an ex- pertinent made with an ape afflicted with toothache was remarkable. It was noticed that after eating nuts the little animal picked it's teeth with Its fing- CTS, but could only do so imperfectly. Then it was taught to use a toothpick. The observer next took a piece of ivory and rubbed 1t down on & rough stone until 1t was pointed like a tooth pick, afterward using 1t for that pur- pose in the apes presence. The next day, whenI 1t was fed with nuts, no

We are assured by several citizens OF
Calvary that the movement to entlce
the portion of Clarendon ilto Sumter
to help that county pay her enormous
debts will not have as easy sailing as
its projectors imagine: there are very
many who signed the petition who VIII
vote against the project, and some OF
these would have refused to sign hao
they been told The true conditions.
When they were asked to sign the
petition there was nothing said about
the mountain of debt frowning down
upon Sumter, the whole argument was
the railroad facilities to Sumter court
house, but since the last issue Of THE
TINES there are many who have put
on their thinking caps, and they are
not disposed to look upon the scheme
with so much favor. There are some
people in the Pinewood section who
own landed interests that possibly favor
going into Sumter because they have
nothing in common with the people OF
Clarendon, except in election years,
and only then, when some one OF their
number is candidate for office. We
should dislike to lose any portion OF
our present citizenship, but il they are
anxious to get into Sumter, and are
not contented with staying with US, let
them pack up bag and baggage and go,
but do not persuade every yoody else to
90 with them.
