How Animal, Learn.

Dr.. T. Zell. a German naturalist. has
collected many instances to prove that
animals learn by experience and thus
become wiser than their uninstructed
parents, Game animals Of all kinds,
he AYERS, have learned the range Of
modern rides. Greyhounds quickly
learn to let rabbits alone, and fox
hounds pay no attention to either rab-
bits or hares. Killer whales and gulla
follow whaling vessels. jtnt as vul'
lures follow an army. Crows begin to
accompany the channels hunter al
soon as they have seen the result Of
his first successful shot, and rough
legged buzxards follow the sportsman
after winged game. The number Of
birds that kill or injure themselves
by flying against telegraph wires 4
much smaller than It used to be. DR.
Zell also refers to the fact tina
birds and quadrupeds have learned t.
disregard passing railway trains. Al
horses quickly cease to be frightened
by automobiles. His instances Of tn
intelligent election exercised By sheel
dogs are familiar to all.

from England to America. Originally
they we're set in rings. The earliest
references to them In Biblical history
is found In Genesis xxxviii. where It

KTTTREDGE OPPOSES HARMONY.
Mitchell was the scene of considera-
BILE political harmony last week and
aside from the general open meeting
called in the interests of united and
harmonious republican party by the
committee of ten, Senator Kit
tredge held secret conference with
the remnants of the old guard which
had gone to defeat in three campaigns.
Such of his followers as Irving Jones
of Sioux Falls, Dick Halliday, Con-
gresham Burke, John Langstatf and
Major Lane of the Crow Creek Indian
agency were present. 1t is asserted,
on what seems good authority, that
these sub-chiefs or medicine men were
opposed to again putting up general
fight along the old lines and that they
should be content with support of
their present congressman, but that
the big chief spread the war paint
thick and dashed his braves into
spirit of hostility. 1t was argued
by the more conservative Of the stall
warts that efforts at republican har-
mony should be made in recognition
of the widepread sentiment among
the rank and file of all factions, but
tlr. kittredge brandished the toma-
hawk and scalping knive and declared
that there should be no peace, that
war should prevail all along the line
and that a full reactionary ticket
should be placed..before the next pri-
mary.
MR.. RICHARDS WITH sTALwARTs.
Conspicuous among the stalwarts
and taking advice and comfort from
them through Irving Jones and Char
lie Cooper as go-betweens was r. o.
Richards, the man of many leagues"
and many ''isms." While preparing
a long and yarigated list of resolu-
tions, enough to fill suitcase, to
present to the harmony meeting with
the hope that they might be voted
down in order to give him excuse for
making big noise, he was counting
on the finer points of political tactics
with the stalwart people, and it is
whispered that he has hopes that Mr..
Kittredge's machine will endorse him
for governor. While some of the Kit
tredgeites appear to favor this, as a
rule they regard him as too impracti-
cal to train in their crowd and will
content themselves with jollying him
up in his fight on Governor Wesley.
The Herried candidacy for governor
did not seem to meet with the favor
of the Longstatf- Halliday group. The
suggestion was strong that it should
be forgotten. The fact is, Longstaff
himself has ambitions.
The absence of Congressman Mar
tin was conspicuous and frequently
commented upon. 1t is quietly hint
ed that he is tired of taking orders
from Mr.. Kittredge.

other candidate in the Hills and that

A FatefuI Game Of Chess.


It Is a Spanish tradition that the
fate Of Columbus overhung on a game
Of chess. For years the great naviga-
tor had haunted the Spanish court,
trying to interest some one in his
plans, but at last he determined to
abandon the country and visit France.
The night before his intended depar-
ture he sought an audience with the
queen to communicate his intentions
and to take his leave The queen asked
him to wait while she made another
effort to interest the king. She found
Ferdinand engaged at a game of chess
and, disturbing him by her entrance,
caused him to lose piece. Annoyed
and irritated by the incident, the king
after rudely denouncing Columbus and
his schemes Informed Isabella that the
result Of the petition would depend on
the result Of the game. 1t grew worse,
and the chances were all against the
launching Of the expedition. But the
queen, overlooking the board, whis-
pered to her august spouse sugges.
ton relative to move that would be
advantageous. The king followed the
advice. the complexion of the game
was quickly reversed, and Columbus
dream OF years was realized at last.

object OF great importance to her. She
was continually dreaming Of what be

he was and II she would ever meet
him.
But Fan grew to be twenty -four
years old. and there was no sign Of
Billy. She had several proposals Of
marriage, but answered all suitors
alike-that she was married already.
One Of them asked lawyer II there
was anything In such marriage. He
received the reply that only the courts
could tell, but 20 long as neither claim
ed the other there would be nothing
Illegal In either marrying some one
else.
One day a man drove up to Fans
home In a buggy and asked for a
young woman named Frances Shaw.
Fan was sweeping ut the time, with a
towel over her hair. She tried to get
upstairs, but was too late. The man
approached her and said:
"Fanr'
"Are you BillyT'

name of Napoleon. If you take away
the first letter of his name, you ,have

this successfully down to the last syl-
