When she reached Greeley in 1870 she was 53 years of age. The town boasted 12 citizens, 10 men and two women. The popu- lation is now 5000.

 The All. .Oollegian team from Hart. ford was easy meat for the Staffords at the fair grounds last Saturday. Oartmill, who pitched fine game, was given good support, and he kept the five hits so scattered that only in two innings did it look as if the visit- ors were liable to score. In the seventh, with two down, Malone con- nected with the ball for 8 hit and Jones was passed, but ,Fallow went out on foul fly caught by Larkin. In the eighth, the only, inning in which a visitor reached third, Mifit had 8 chance to score. He was sent to first by being hit by pitched ball and stole second. Webber famed. North sent a safe one to left field and Miffit started for home, but fell, and the ball was returned before he could score. It looked as if he had a fair chance to prevent the shut-out if he had not fallen. Stafford's first two runs were in the form of presents, as they were made by Wallace and Oashen, the first two batters up, who reached first on being hit by pitched balls. They were advanced on Mar ten'a sacrifice. Smith went out on a fly to middle garden. and Wallace scored. Larkin reached first on Man ning's error. Oashen scoring on the play. Larkin was caught off second. The rest of the scores were earned. In the fourth Larkin opened with 8 drive to left field and reached second on Cartmill's sacrifice.

Did This Doc Reason?

Here is a simple incident which
perhaps the experts can explain:
/ am a clergyman. Ny study is in
the church. On the side of the
building at right angles frsm the
door and distant from il is q win
dow. One summer evening ! was at
work in nv study. Our dog a young
Airedale terrier, was with me. y
large moth, attracted " the light,
flew against the wire window screen
from the outside. Sandy, very much
excited, jumped up and tried to get
al the moth. OF course he could
not DO it, as he was inside and the
moth outside. After a few efforts
he seemed 70 realize the state of af-
fairs. He left the window, came to
me, whined, paved me and asked
as plainly as a dog could 20 be let
out. ] rose and opened the door.
He rushed out and bolted around
the building and tried to reach that
moth from the outside.
Did the dog reason?-A. y. in

WONDERFUL MOVING VINE.
ORE % the Most Interesting Of Ant
Phenomena on Record.

Near the hank If the Guadalupe
river l saw something green upon
the ground and, hurrying forward
found a lovely vine with leaves
smaller than those Of thc'smilaX,
of a pale, tender green. The VINE
had its root about five feet from the
trunk Of a towering cottonwood
tree and spread out on the ground
four or five inches wide, becoming
"A little narrower as 1t approached
the tree. / could see no stems or
tendrils. so thick was the growth,
aud as | drew close 10 the tree | saw
that the vine branched just above
the ground and went climbing up
the great trunk and the branches.
1t grew more and more slender un-
til far up could distinguish only a
threadlike line Of green.
As / stood intently watching the
delicate. graceful vine, ! became
aware that it was peryaded by a
curious, tremulous motion. Then
l saw that the individual leaves
were not stationary. Picking up a
twig from the ground, touched
one of the leaves and found 10 my
amazement that there was a brown
ant under il about as long as my
little finger nail. Each leaf was
held in the mandibles Of an ant in
such a way as 70 conceal the body OF
the insect, and the ants we're coming
down the tree. The discovery came
upon me with a shock. ! had stun

Books had told me that such ants

they carried bits of leaves over their

a colony of them, shading them.

Brother Says 1t Is So.
Especial to The Herald)

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The report that Fred
Walker, formerly varsity football and
baseball star at the University of Chi
cago, will in all probability sign with the
Chicago White SoX was confirmed by
Leon b. Walker, brother of the famous
Fred
Walker is on his way to this city from
Salt Lake City. He will arrive in the city
in about a week, to hold a conference
with President Charles Comiskey of the
SoX. when the question of terms will be
discussed and final details arranged
should the terms be mutually satisfactory.
4 heard from Fred the other day and
he told me he is on his way here" said
Leon. "Comiskey has been considering
Fred ever since the close of the baseball
season last fall"
On the campus it was freely predicted
that Walker and Comis<ey would be
agreeable on terms, because of the fact
that Walker is making q special trip here
for the purpose of holding a conference
While at the university Walker proved
an effective pitcher. and is said by those
who have seen him in action since that
he is a big improvement over his form of
two years ago. He has mastered the
spit ball and has worked it effectively
against all opponents since. As a foot
ball player he also made a great name for
himself.
