A careful observer has noted the demand of
young COW to be let out to grass. 1t contains
three notes-starts with a descent of a fifth
and then rises one note. But does any one sup
pose that Goldsmith's sober herd that lowed to

Some of its remarks have been gathered up
and noted for the benefit of the unbeliever.
No two, thus recorded, said the same thing IN
the way. As for q certain 2-year-old bull,
his infrequent expression of his feelings dis

That animals do say things, by the way, is
beyond peradventure. It is no modern theory,
first enumerated by Professor Garner. and ap-
plicable only TO monkeys As far back as 1900
there was published in Vienna a curious little
book by G. E. Wetzel, called "a New Discovery
of the Language of Animals, Founded upon
Leason and Experience"
There had been others before it, but nom
Of such elaborate, if unconvihcing, seriousness.
In it the author tried to prove that animals
make themselves understood by a combination
of sounds which constitutes the simplest written
language He actually pubhshes a sort of rudi-
mentary dictionary of this language, and tried
TO translate into his native German dialogues
of dogs, cats chickens, etc, In illustration of
sation-comp, sed of abrupt little cries-in
which IL is alleged some captive frogs we're PLAN

ever that some of them did escape, it is fair Il
conclude that he had not quite caught the drift
of their conversation.
That animals do talk. or have some means
of communication, at least with those of theis
own species, seems perfectly plausible. That
any mere MAJ. has as yet mastered their lap
guage seems more than doubtful.
A young colt. for instance, had one word o.
greeting for his mother; another for strange
horge and still another for his owner. And his
remarks when he was alone out of doors, and
bit uneasy were Enthusiastically different from
any of the others. Possibly his mother and the
other horse understood exactly what he said in
each case. His owner only understood that be

grown horse is rather silent animal.
He rarely gives voice to his feelings When he
does, it must be confessed that he is rather par
tial to the chromatie scale. a horses neighing,
in four cases out of FIVE, takes IN part of that
scale, and a good. generous, prolonged whlnny

1t is not hard to see where the expression,
"a horse laugh" comes from; for it certainly
does sound like hideous, harsh parody on hui

him-whines, growls or bowls, but never banks
1t is even recorded that Columbus, returning Il
America, found that certain dogs that he had
left on previous voyage had relapsed into
state of nature and forgotten how to bark.
Cats have three separate ways of audibly
expressing their feelings, each one more ex-
pressive than the last. There is the purr of
satisfied cathood-the song of Thanksgiving. i
there any sound on earth more thoroughly ew

from the barking of great dog introduced by

Objects to Boards Statements.

| Editor imes-Republican: Our at
tention has been called to statement
made in the school board meeting last
Tuesday night, in which it was said
that the ELM Norwegian Lutheran
church had used the Click school build
ing for parochial school purposes two
years ago and that the said building
at that time had been left in dirty
and untidy condition"
! We had heard that some complaints
had been made, but could not find out
of what nature. Last summer we asked
for information, and again this spring.
but no reply.
The first intimation we had of the
real cause of the board again refusing
lis the use of the building for school
purposes was when we read the ac-
count of the meeting in the T.-R.
| Somebody must be responsible for
| this statement. II this has been brought
to the school board, we wish to say
that they have been misinformed.
We wish to say to the guilty party
or parties, that the building was not
left in the above said condition and
we positively protest against such pro-
cedure.
1t is an injustice to u.s.. Surprising,
that the few rooms which were used
| by our school did not quite come up to
! the standard that they were in when
we got them, 1t would not be right to
STATE to newspaper reporter that
they were in such bad condition. The
following reason can be given: We had
| agreed to leave the rooms in a salts
factory condition. Now If they were
not, it would have been the duty of
the proper party to let us know and
we should have been willing to remedy
this. But not word was said to us.
We were willing to make right what
ever was wrong.
Let us try and be more cautious in
such matters in the future.
