ana lapraoor.
On the extreme northern coast of New
foundland, as we'll as on Labrador, the
fishing villages and settlements are all
situated In the harbors and creeks
along the seashore. In the summer all
REORGANIZATION with the various
villages is by water, so that the roads
are very primitive. In winter, when
the ground is covered with snow and
the marshes and lakes are frozen, the
people utilize dogs and "comatickS" to
travel to and fro, and also for hauling
firewood building material, etc. Those
dogs are savage mongrels, closely al
lied to their progenitor, the wolf; ia
fact, they are half wolf.
The residents do not trouble much
about these mongrels in the summer
and they are generally kept in a state
of semisavage starvation. They feed
on fish offal during the fishing season
and occasionally band together and go
a-hunting on their own account. On
these occasions they will attack any
thing they come across, man or beast,
and so fierce are their depredations
that caribou, which are plentiful in
Labrador can only on rare occasions
be found within twenty-five miles Of
the seacoast, as these mongrels have
destroyed or driven them all inland.
Last winter it was reported that a
team of those dogs turned on the driv-
err and devoured him and his wife and
child. who were accompanying him to
a distant settlement. 1t has been long
recognized that these packs Of savage
dogs were great obstacles in the way
of the progress of the people in these
parts. 1t was impossible for them TO
keep COWS, sheep, goats or even poul-
try.-Forest and Stream.

Postmaster Spekenhier and
Employees Receive Word
From Washington.
FEAR PATRONAGE CHARGES
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION is
ATTEMPTING TO HEAD OFF ALL
SUCH ACCUSATIONS.

Today, Postmaster A. Spoken
hier was notified by the United States
Civil Service commissioners that if
he or any attache of the local postof-
flee takes an active interest in poll
tics, their services will no longer be
required by Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Spekenhier states that this ord
er is the result Of complaints made
over the country that this year fed
eral office holders have been taking
too active an interest in politics. 1t
will be remembered that a few weeks
ago it was charged that federal office
holders were in the field working for
the nomination of Secretary Taft.
The order received by Postmaster
Spekenhier from the civil service com
missioners reads as follows:
The Commission in recommending
punishmentS for violations of Subdi-
vision | of Civil Service Rule | has
heretofore been guided by the fact
that the rule was one only adopted in
June, 1907 and that while the Presi-
dents instructions prohibiting pOliti
classified employees have been public
ever since 1902, yet in actual practice
the effective and thorough-going en-
forcement of the Presidents tnstruc-
tiOns in this connection has only dat
ed from the adoption of the rule in
June last, which gave the Civil Serv-
ice Commission the right to investi-
gate and report on charges of i'm
proper political activity on the part
of those in the competitive CLASSIFIED
service. For this reason the Commits
sion has heretofore been lenient in
recommending punishments. But a
sufficient time has now elapsed for
us to assume that the Civil Service
rules are understood throughout the
service, and we believe therefore that
the time has also come for some
what greater degree Of severity for the
penalty inflicted, at least in aggravat-
ed cases. We recommend therefore
that the several Departments be re-
quested to publish to their employees
in the competitive classified service
the fact that any man violating the
provisions of the rule in question rem
ders himself liable to punishment by
removal We desire that the subordi
mates in the several Departments be
acquainted with this recommendation
so that in the event of any miscOn
duct by them in the future, the Com
mission may feel at liberty to recon-
mend their removal.
We have the honor to be, very re-
spectfully,

EARTHWoRMS.
They Can Move About Only When the
Ground Is Damp.


Ground Is Damp.
Ever since Darwin wrote his remark
able book on earthworms the general
public has taken an interest in these
lowly creatures. Everybody has OBJ
served thousands of them on the Ce-
ment walks during and after rain,
but the true cause of these remarka Bile
wanderings Is not often written about.
The fact is that earthworms can move
about only when the ground and the
grass are wet The truth Of this is cas-
lily shown by placing an earthworm on
some dry sand, when the dry grains
will stick to it's Shiny skin and make 1t
helpless.
All living creatures are endowed
with the instinct to move and spread
over the earth. Human beings, higher
animals and birds prefer to move
about in fair weather. To the earth
worm and other lowly creatures, like
frogs, salamanders, slugs and land
snails, rainy days are the only fair
days for travelling. When the sun
comes out and dries the roads and the
meadows, they withdraw into their
hiding places. AS earthworms cannot
see clearly. they crawl about in an
aimless sort of way. If they happen to
get on a board or cement walk. when
the sky clears they soon die and shriv e.
up
When dry season or winter ap-
prosches. the earthworms burrow deep
er into the ground. At depth varying
from six inches to two feet each worm
coils up into a little ball. By aid of
secreted slime 1t makes a case of dirt
round itself, and in this state it re-
mains dormant until abundant rains or
the spring thaws call it back to 4 more
active Hfe.-St Louis Republic.
