forestry Of the university of Minnesota gives the
following advice with reference to the pruning of
trees which may be of interest to our readers.
Large branches are most safely removed during
the latter part Of the winter before growth starts
Small branches may be safely removed at any time
during the growing season, preferably the middle
of June, but such hardy trees elm ASH box elder
white willow, and cottonwood may be safely pruned
at any time in autumn, winter spring

Senator c. b. Little has replied TO the Grand

He charges that the Heralds compiler has taken

In way by which it would be impossible to 50 twist

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW PROBLEM.

PRIMARY c.eS''ON -" T1S0!."'
The primary election law which aims to give all
candidates On the primary ticket equal chance for
election will result in difficult problem to be
solved by the printers. Each candidate is to have
his printed at the top Of all candidates out for
his respective office in equal number of times with
the other candidates; and not only this, but the
ballots must be SO distributed that these top

equally distributed even in the smallest precincts
When it is considered that the county ticket will be
divided up into several commissioners districts and
the entire lot to be distributed into precincts, 1t will
readily be seen that the officials have an enormous
problem on their hands.

INFLUENCE OF DIET ON SLEEP

Diet has little influence on sheep,
except in so far as it may produce
disturbances Of digestion and

ance of health. The hypnotic effects
of certain foods, such as onions,
lettuce, milk, etc, are chiefly i'm.
aginary. Even the time of the last
meal OF the day is Of relatively lit
tie Importance, except that Il is
well to let this be at least two o.:
three hours before retiring. But.
even this rule has many exceptions,
as many healthy laboring men ha-
bitually fall asleep over their pipes
directly after supper, and children,
after poking the spoon into their
little eyes, nod off over the tea
table. with the bread and butter still
clutched in their chubby fists.

but they are. perfectly carried out, as

DOGS IN WARTIME
OF GREAT VALUE IN FINDING
THE WOUNDED.
Frenehmen Urge Minister Of War to
Have Animals Attached to Am
buIance corps-Idea ls Nor
New One.

Since dogs have proved to be such
able assistants to the Paris police
corps why shouldn't they be trained to
reinforce the hospital and ambulance
service OF the French army? The ad-
vantages of this innovation have been
set forth at some length by DR.. Bicha-
lonne and Capt. Toilet in, a. YSltlme
which has just been published. 1t ia
entitled the Dog rs an Aid to the
Sanitary Corps" g., ~. -
That dogs should be taught to seek
out the wounded on the battlefield: ia
no new idea. The experiment Has
tried with success at the time of the
.Boer war, and at the battle of Cha.
Ho In the conflict in the far east three
dogs sent out by the German Alliance
discovered 23 soldiers who had been
given up for lost. -
In 1880, by order of the German
war minister, two dogs were added to
the sanitary corps of one of the crack
regiments. Since then clubs for the
training OF dogs in war time have been
Iormeo In Dresden, Cologne, Coburg,
Aix-la-chapelle and Neuwied. Similar
societies have been organized in Hol.
land, Sweden and Italy. In fact all of
the European countries have turned
their attention tc the subject at one
time or other except France.
Dr. Bichelonne and Capt. Toilet urge
the military authorities to repair this
omission. There are many good
breeds of dogs in France which would
take easily to the military training.
1t is an undisprted fact, these au.
thors say, that after an engagement
there are many wounded and dying

A savings bank is never a very

matron putting aside the proyerbisl
nest egg," or, still more, smiling
young mothers depositing in trust for
the first baby, there are ten sad-faced
women III black, many of them with
widows wells.
Thfs was especially true recently
when the panic sent anxious deposit
ors by the hundreds to draw out their
small savings, and 1t was therefore es-
peclahs refreshing to see in that
crowding somber line not Lola from
Berlin; but Marguerite from Italy, q
trim, bright-eyed little> woman with a
Woarlet handkerchief around her neck
and. her uncovered, glossy, black locks
puned and braided and curled as If

she waited patientIy-even cheer
fully-as slowly foot by foot she ap-
preached the paying teller's desk, but
IL was two o'clock before her turn
came. She began to ,ok weary, but
she gave the wearier man behind the
little window confiding smile as
she handed him her bank book and
said:
II want it ALL"
He glanced at the book and count
ed out 1912 in one-dollar bills.
THAT mine!" gasped the little
woman
The teller nodded.
She fingered the bills, looking more
puzzled. The woman behind her was
almost crying with impatience. The
line swayed as if it had been a row of
bricks and some one had hit the last
brick in the row. Still Marguerite
folded and unfolded the bills; she had
all the repose of her native land.
You, sure" she said at last "You
sure these all mine"
"All yours" the man answered, la
conicaiIy.
Ordinarily he would have told her
she was blocking the line, but this
day he saw no objection to the delay.
She ventured one more question:
You sure these mine-these dollars?
theu@ht put in fives and tens T.
These are all yours" he assured
her emphatically.
She flashed him glimpse Of white
teeth
"All right, then," she said, idiomat-
ically. "Tony-my mamie tell me
my money not here. He say, take 1t
all out I say: 4 go see'"
Then untying the corner Of a red
handkerchief and taking from it a
five-dollar gold piece and several

toward the ;astonished bank official.
