condition. having eaten everything
within reach
Searching parties on horseback
started on Sunday from Gunnison

Fine lamb skins are raised in great quanti-
ties In Southern Europe and throughout
Hungary, Servia, Bulgaria and Roumania.
The. American glovemakers buy most of their
lamb skins at Vienna or Muhlburg.
London is the chief market of all the mis-
cellaneous skins. Here may be found the
Cape sheep skins, tough and durable, from
the Cape of Good Hope; colt and calf skins
from Buenos Ayres and other cities of South
America; hog skins from Mexico and Brazil
antelope from India, Brazil. Colorado and
Africa
OF late years many of these skins have
been brought directly to New York, and
American buyers no longer find it necessary
to go to London.
While fine lamb skins are the staple in
mems gloves, colt skins are rapidly coming
into favor, and fine calf skins are extensively
used.
Each has grain peculiar to itself, which,
while not visible to the ordinary buyer, can
be instantly perceived by. the expert.
Calf skins are good looking, soft and plia-
BILE, but are apt to crack. This fault is not
found in colt skins, which are durable and
handsome and in many respects make model

are of hard ivory and the longest is generally
about three feet in length. The animal keeps
this horn very sharp and uses it as a weapon.
When the rhinoceros is attacked, say by a
lion, the only thing he can do is to blunder
around in his clumsy fashion until he gets a
chance to bunt the lion with his nose. Once
the sharp horn gets stuck into lions body
it is all over with the lion, who is able to do
very little damage to the rhinoceros, because
Of his heavy skin, skin so thick and tough
that when it is dried it can be cut into strips
and used as walking canes.

Many hunters have lost their lives because
they imagined that the rhinoceros could not

1t is a very peculiar thing, but it is fact
that practically all great animals always have
smaller animals as companions or attendants,
which act sentinels and give warning of
approaching danger. The rhinoceros, strange
to say, is always accompanied by one or more
white birds. which sit all day long perched
on his back.
It is little bird called by ornithologists
Buphago Africana, and known to hunters as
the rhinoceros bird. This little fellow clings
to the animals hide by means of its long
claws and elastic tail, feeding on the insects
that infest the leathery skin. In doing this
it renders great service to the huge brute,
but trifing as compared to its other duty. It
acts as sentinel to warn its movable feeding
place of approaching danger.
While it is eating it is ever on the alert,
and at the first sign of the hunter it flies up
in the air uttering its warning note, which is

and the bird, hearing the approach of the
hunter, fails to awaken him by its voice, it
will arouse him by pecling the inside OF his
ear.
Some species of the rhinoceros are inclined
to peace, and will rarely attack man save in
defense of their young or their lives, while
Others, and more particularly the keitloa, will
attack man or beast simply to crafty their
love for fighting. The lion never risks an en-
counter with the rhinoceros, save when abso-
lutely necessary for his own safety, and it is
seldom the elephant cares to measure strength
with him, for the larger is far less quick in
his movements than the smaller.
A celebrated African hunter once witnessed
a battle between these huge animals, but in
this instance the impetuous rage of the rhi-
noceros proved his downfall, for, having driv-
en- his terrible horn up to the hilt into the
carcass of the elephant, he was unable to ex-
tract it, and the latter, falling. crushed the
life out of his assaiant in the descent. A
traveller once saw fight between gigantic
male elephant and black rhinoceros that was
ended by the fight of the former.

of fine lamb skin. which is better than the
second rate kid.
The genuine, fine kid skins are mainly Of
French origin, and those obtained from noun
tain slopes of Southern France are world
famed for their excellence. All the best con-
ditions of climate, air and diet appear to
unite in exactly the degree required to secure
perfection in this district. Nowhere else are
the conditions equally favorable, although
kid skins of great excellence are produced
throughout the mountain ranges of Southern
Europe. Their production is the principal
industry among the mountaineers.
Great pains must be taken to secure the
softness and deicacy of texture and freedom
from blemish which form the value of the kid
skins.
The diet il the most important factor, and
mothers milk is required to keep the hid in
perfect condition. If the animal is allowed
to eat grass its value declines. as the skin inn
mediately begins to grow harder and coarser
in texture. To keep the skin in perfect con-
dition the young kid is kept closely penned
and carefully guarded against injury from
scratches, bruises, and so on.
As soon as the kids have reached the age
at which their skins are in the best condi-
tion for the glover, they are killed and the
skins are sold to travelling peddlers, who
bear them TO the great centres Of the tanning
industry at Grenoble, Annonay, Milhau and
Paris.

~ HE huge, clumsy animal known as the
rhinoceros has always been a subject
~ of great interest to civilized people,
because it is one of the immense
creatures still living.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of
years ago the rhinoceros was not large when
compared to the mammoth or some other
large animal. but the days of the mammoth
and gigantic saurians are past. so we have to
be satisfied with gazing at smaller things like
the ra1inoceros, elephant and hippopotamus.
The rhinoceros lives away down in Africa,
and one species, known as the ong-horned
white rhinoceros. grows sometimes to be
twenty feet in length. 1t is SO large around
the belly, that knife six feet long would
not go all the way through.
The animal appears much smaller than he
really is, because of his short, fat legs so
short that tall man can look over its back
The rhinoceros is usually as large around as
1t IS long, and the most striking feature is
short curved horn. Some of the animals have

Stories About Cats

A Maine lad tells Of the remarkable sagac-
ity of pet cat which he owns. The feline
has great fondness for the flesh Of birds,
and in order to make her quest for the same
successful, employs a stratagem.
Evidently understanding that birds like
angle-worms, she collects number and buries
them in the ground She then hides near by,
and when the birds alight to secure their COW
eted morsel, she springs from her concealment
and pounces upon them. Many a bird thus
falls a prey to pussy's shrewdness.

JOHN LIND FOR GOVERNOR AGAIN
Well Defined Movement in his In
terests Said to Have Been
Started.

Yesterdays Minneapolis Tribune
contains the following:
Former Gov. John Lind of Mime
apolis may be the next democratic
nominee for governor. A well-defned
movement is on foot to bring this
about and it is receiving the sanction
of the leaders in the party.
''Mr. Lind is being urged as COM
promise candidate and tits urged that
his nomina ton would heal the breach
that now exists between the Johnson
and Bryan wings of the party. For
mer Gov. Lind has always been classed
as Bryan man. He was for Bryan
in the recent mix-up in Minnesota, al
though, at the last moment, he went on
record as favoring Gov. johnson.
The Lind boom is being fostered by a
few Of the Bryan men and is receiving
the sanction of some of the Johnson
leaders. Should Bryan be nominated
at Denver, and the local democrats
fail to discover compromise candi-
date, the Bryan men will undoubtedly
make a strong fight to overthrow the
Frank Day machine, and in such an
event Thomas j. Knox of j Jackson will
be the most likely candidate"

CHURCH SYNOD At MANKATO
German Evangelical Lutherans
Gather in Forty-eighth
Annual Session.
Attendance Large and Business
Transacted Of More Than
Usual Importance.
Preparations Made Looking To
wards Celebration of Golden
Jubilee in 1910.

The forty eighth annual session OF
the German Evangelical Lutheran
Synod of Minnesota which was held
ik Mankato last week, was attended
by nearly one hundred and fifty min-
listers, teachers and lay delegates, the
latter representing fortytwo congre-
cations.
Throughout the entire session the
New Ulm representatives played a
most important role, and not the least
interesting feature of the conference,
by any means, was the scholarly ad-
dress by Rev. Prof. John Schaller.
Reports of officers showed that the
Lutheran Normal school at New Ulm
had enjoyed a very successful year, as
had also the Gemeinde-Blatt, the
semi-monthly organ of the general
synod. This publication now has over
10000 subscribers and the net income
last year amounted to $4,000. This
money goes into the treasury of the
general synod and is devoted to edu-
cational work in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan and Nebraska.
For missionary work among the
Apache Indians in Arizona the sum
of Sc, 5,2sl had been raised and of this
amount SIS, ,262 had been expended.
Rev. Harders, missionary among
the Apaches, stationed at Globe, Ari-
zona, reported on the mission work
among the Indians. The work could
be made effective, he said, only il
boarding schools were founded for the
Indian children, where they can be
taught in their own language. He also
recommended that special missionaries
be sent for the scattered white mem
bers of the denomination.
J, The plan of a church extension fund
was proposed and was referred to tn
committee on inner missions, as it wa
feared that the banking laws of th
3 state would interfere.
Treasurer Gundlach of Elysian
!, after making his report in which b
7 showed collections amounting t
S13, 1926 and expenditures in the sum c
! $l2, ,206, announced that on account c
i'll health he would be compelled to re
sign his position as custodian of th
synod funds. The resignation wa
. accepted with expressions of regrt
and John Boock Jr., the Gibbon ban
J. cashier, was chosen to fill the vacanc!
c On the board of trustees the follow
