Kindness to Dumb Animals.

The wagon was heavily laden with
great bags of metal, too heavy for a
single horse to draw, one would have
thought.
It turned into 4 side street and half
way down the block again turned in-
to an ally at the rear Of livery stable.
It required considerable tagging on
the part of the horse to pull the load
up the incline of the alley driveway,
but he did it, and the driver looked
pleased when the back wheels had
made the rise and settled down to
level ground. At the barn door it
was necessary to turn the wagon
around completely and back in.
Surely one horse could not do that.
The turn was made easily enough,
but there remained the door.
Back him up, Jim T. said the
man, pulling lightly at the reins.
The horse braced his fore feet and
showed.
The wagon didn't move.
The man got down from the seat
and went around to the back Of the
truck and pulled. Back !" he COM
manded. The horse put every mus
Gle to the strain. Back !" The
wagon moved, this time at least a
foot. Two more, aud the back wheels
would be over the threshold Of the
barn door.
Back T. The command moved the
horse to exert his greatest effort.
There was a splintering Of wood and
the wagon rolled back.
Not blow had been struck the
animal. Only gentle words had been
spoken, and the horse did the rest.
And waen it was all over the man
did not go on unloading the wagon
without further thought Of the great,
obedient animal standing still between
the shafts. he went TO him and took
his nose in his hands and patted him
between the eyes and said GOOD,
old, JIM You did do it, didn't you
l knew you would"
And the horse rubbed his nose
against the mans cheek.
1t is pleasant now and then TO see
such things.-Cstholic Calendar.

IHE MAN WITH THE BOOK.


He stands with feet upon the earth'
With face to God who gave him BIRTH
With book in hand, the scroll divine,
In which IS writ, in truth sublime,
The love Of God for all mankind,
As in no other book We find.
Akin to earth and sea and ciod,
He also is a son Of God.
With ear he hears the earthly sound
With eye he views the world around,
But with his soul he hears voice,
That makes his heart and soul rejoice.
He ope's and reads the book divine,
And scans with eye its ev'rYsline:
In form Of word, in phrase and verse;
II tells of man for veal or worse;
But in the thought that thrOughii goes
The love of God forever flows.
How strange the things he therein readsI
That mortal man on sin so feeds,
Until his ire is all on IRE,
And he doth even hell inspire;
So bad doth man in sin become
That on the earth for him's no room.
And stranger yet thing therei n
Than all the spoils of willful sin;
The thought Of God that will not down,
The love OF God that doth aboun',
And quenches not the Aick'ring fame
OF any soul what e'er the blame.
The book and man do well agree.
OF God, Of earth, are both, you see.
In man the breath divine did come
In book the breath divine did come,
To move, to guide, to make them one
With God and His beloved Son.
In book is heaven in thought and love-
In perfect man, in Christ above,
That sinful man may have in Him
The perfect man that saves from sin.
And such the story Of the man
Who looks to God with book in hand.
H. {. II.

The Slime on Fishes.


handled, is found to be slippery and
coated with slime. All fishes, the
meanest and the noblest, killi6sh and
shark, shsd, salmon and trout, wear
this slime. They could not exist
without it.
The slime is secreted usually in a
continuous series of ducts, with num-
erous openings arranged in line ex-
tending along the side Of the fish.
Some fishes have one line on a side,
some have FIVE or six. The lines may
be plainly visible, and in some cases
appear to be marking on the fish.
More often they are not observable at
all. Some fishes store this secretion
in pores distributed over the whole
surface of the body, the larger num-
Der, however, in pores in lateral lines.
There are also pores for the secretion
of mucous, or slime, in the fsh's head.
The slime is exuded through the
divisions between the scales to the
outer part of the body, over which it
spreads, forming a sort of outer skin
or covering, transparent and having
elasticity and tenacity and often con.
siderable body. 1t would not be re-
markable for a fair sized fish, say a
fish of two pounds weight, to have a
coating of slime thirty. second Of an
inch in thickness. Fishes vary great
ly in the amount of slime which they
secrete. The eel will suggest itself as
one that is very Shiny.
The 6sh's shiny coating reduces its
friction when in motion and helps to
increase its speed. 1t aids in pro-
tecting the scales from injury, being
of sufficient substance 20 serve in some
measure as cushion. The slimy COW
ering makes the fish hard to hold and
80 enables it the more readily to es-
cape from its enemies. 1t Is some
times repugnant to other fishes, which
are repelled by its odor. 1t is the
slims from the fishes handled that
makes the angler smell dshy," as the
expression goes.
A most important function Of the
Gsh's slimy coating is to protect 1t
from the attacks Of fungus, a form OF
plant life found in all waters, salt and
fresh, including the purest. The slime
covers the entire exterior surface OF
the fish, including the fms. Fungus
does not attach to the slime, but if
the fish were to be injured so that
there was upon it some spot uncovered
by the slime upon that spot some NIL
mute fragment of fungus, so small as
to be scarcely more than visible,
would be likely to lodge. Once
lodged the fungus is reproduced very
fast.
Fish sometimes recover from at
tacks Of fungus, but much more often
they do not. The fungus displsces
the skin, Inflammation is set up, and
the place attacked becomes practically
a sore. With its continued growth
the fungus may cover the side Of the
fish and extend over the gills and f.
nally kill it.

GEORGE BALlNG ON TRIAL AGAIN
FOR STEALING HORSES BY
WHOLESALE.

In district court Friday j. T. Nc
Donald, being tried for failure to reg
lister his government liquor license,
went on the stand in his own de-
Tense. He testified that he did not
have such license, or tax receipt
and If one was made out in his name
he did not know it, did not ask for
nor pay for it. Upon this showing his
attorneys moved for a directed YER
dict, which was stipulated to by the
state as the evidence of the prose-
cutipn was rather weak owing to the
failure to get certain testimony from
George Piercy, deputy revenue col
1ector, and verdict was rendered for
acquittal of Mcdonald.
The second trial of George Baling
on a horse stealing charge was then.
called. A short time ago Baling was
acquitted of a charge Of stealing one
horse from Magnus spangburg, and
now he is being tried for stealing a
whole bunch from the same party.
: Sheriff McGillis, being witness for
the state in this casa, was disquali-
fed to summon the talesmen neces-
sary, the panel having been exhausted,
SO Coroner Field was called upon to
secure the talesmen. The jury was
asked by the court If they were all
natifralized citizens when Victor Berg
lind stated that he was not, although
he had been under the impression
that he had right to sit on juries
and vote at elections. 1t then trans
pired that he was one of the jurors
which convicted G. H. Albertson
Thursday on charge of failure to
register his government liquor license
and the question has arisen as to
whether his non-citizenship will in
validate that verdict. It is probable
when the time comes today for the
sentencing of Albertson that this
point will be raised by the defense.
When court adjourned the first wit
ness for the state was on the stand
