as a result of the tales of adventure
that drifted back to civilization in
connection with the cowboy expert
ences of Theodore Roosevelt, at that
time in the West.
The disease proved incurable as far
as Porter was concerned and he went

a tenderfoot to remain in that To-

rode the range for six years.
The climax was reached when Por-
ter was appointed deputy marshal and
served during the hottest period ever
known in that state. This, too, was
the first work as a peace officer for
Porter, although not long afterward
he was commissioned deputy sheriff
in Laramie county, and he had four
years more of strenuous life as an Of
ficer.

Animal Maternal Instinct.

81 have a young retriever, gentle,
we'll bred, handsome" says a CORE
spondent of an English paper. Her
kindly disposition has won her much
popularity, and she is loved by the
family cat, the green Amazon par
rot and the village children. A few
days ago some poor little superAu-
Gus Aberdeen puppies had to be
drowned. But when the man went
to get the little bodies to give them
a decent burial two had mysterious
" vanished from the pail in which
they had found watery grave. For
a long time We searched in vain,
much puzzled at the unaccountable
disappearance, until servant vol
unteered the information that Mag.
gle had two little dogs in her bed.
And here we found them, two little
corpses. licked clean and dry and
gently laid side BY side on the straw
She had fished them out of the pail
carried them there and apparently
done all she could TO revive them
She has never had any puppies ot
her own, so this seems a curious in
stance Of maternal instinct"
woman's sphere is to keep mai
guessing.

THE game law in Durham
county for this season closes the
last of the present month. A
new law will go into effect be-
fore another season which will
shorten the time in which game
may be killed. We understand
from Mr.. Manning that the
new bill shortens the season a
month and a half, the beginning
being November the 18th, and
closing being February the first.

easier for people to keep track
