he Giraffe - Awkward and
Harmless.

II Is peculiar that such savage
brutes as leopards and cheetahs are
marked much like the giraffe, the
most awkward and harmless animal
In Africa. At one time the giraffe
was common down as far as Cape
Town, but now 1t Is found no farther
south than the Transvaal Gradually
1t is being driven into the interior.
The giraffe makes its home In the
desert country, being able to go for
long periods without drinking. There
are large herds on the Kalahari des-
ert, where they ara practically safe
from the hunters rifle. CRATES are
also very common In the country to
which Mr.. Roosevelt is going. They
are easy hunting. Before the passage
of the game protection laws i have
seen one party bring down 20 giraffes
In day.
1t is easy to form an idea Of the
CRATES awkwardness when you take
into consideration that the animal is
from Is to 20 feet high, measuring
from the ground to its head, and 1t is
mostly legs and neck, the legs being
longer .han the neck. When a giraffe
drinks 1t must spread its legs out an
an angle of about 80 degrees to lower
its body sufficiently to reach the wa
ter.
hunting the giraffe is to ride 1t down
on horseback. This affords great sport
and good horse will overtake one of
these animals after long chase. The
giraffe presents a peculiar spectacle
when 1t is running. The body seems
to gain on the head. which waves to
and fro and is jerked into position at
every second step. Mr.. Roosevelt will
have to depend solely on shooting for
his giraffe sport, as the country he
will visit in is not favorable to horse
hunting,
A source of Amusement to the aver.
age European sportsman who visits
East Africa is hunting the wart hog.
Although the Africander does not care
about hunting this animal, the Euro
pean seems to delight In 1t, perhaps
on account OF tho animals ferocious
and ugly appearance. It IL armed with
a pair Of formid able tusks which Il
can use with great effect on either
horse or man when It is cornered. i
have seen native gored 80 badly by
one that he died In an hour.
Each African colony has game laws
based on the prevalence or scarcity Of
certain species If animals. Where
Mr.. Roosevelt is going to hunt It costs
$3.50 for huntsman's license. This
license under the British East Afrt
can game laws gives the following
privileges:
Each white man--rifie hunter--that
hunts In East Africa, IL allowed to kill
two Of each of the following animals:

than so pounds). rhinoceri. hippopot-

enca, giving time to cases Of import
ance. Rightly adjusted municipal
courts should work advantageously in
all cities of 4, 0O0and over. Attorneys,
asa rule, dislike to appear in Justice
and police courts and many Of them
do so only out of courtesy to the par
ties involved. Then, too, the pay for
witnesses and men as jurors is too low
to make it remunerative to the aver
age tradesman and especially distaste-
full to all concerned. However, until
a thorough working municipal court,
can be conceived. the others are neces-
sary adjuncts to governmental affairs.
In large cities the police court is an
abomination on account of it's bull
doing proclivities and prejudices
through presumptive guilt of the
party tried, for the simple reason he
was caught in the police dragnet.

Twice every year wave OF living
l,irtls, almost inconceivably grand IN
the number Of birds involved, surges
over North America. The autumn
wave rolls from the arctic tundras
OF Canada and Alaska to the torrid
valley of the Amazon and the great
palnpas Of the La Plata. only to roll
back again to the icebound northern
ocean with the northward progression
of the sun. And almost as ceaseless
us the ever rising, ever falling swell
of the ocean tides is this miraculous
tide Of beating wings and pulsating
little hearts. The last stragglers OF
the northward migration do not reach
their northern home before the early
pnrt of June, but in July the south
ward setting tide has begun again.
The number Of birds that make up
this mighty wave almost passes COM
prehension. Probably more than IS
per cent Of all birds making their
summer home between the northern
boundary Of Mexico and the Arctic
ocean-that is, in the United States
and Canada-help to swell the great
bird tide that moves southwark in
autumn and northward in the spring
with the regularity Of pendulum.
Allowing little less than one migra-
tory bird to an acre, we get the enor-
nous number of 4.320,OOO,OOO birds
whose wing beats follow with rhyth-
mic precision the southwark and north
ward movement Of the SUN. This
number is too vast to be easily COM
prehended.-D. LANCE in Atlantic.

WILL THEY MEET?

Will history repeat itself? Not
long ago few insurgents posing as
leaders held meetings in the interest
of harmony in the state. Stalwart
papers accused them of attempting to
influence the action of the June pri-
maries.
Now Irving II. Jones of Sioux Falls
comes forward with a call to stall
warts to assemble in Waterfowl on
January 6, there and then to select a
candidate for governor and outline a
line of action, so that spellbinders may
go forth and crate.
The thought might be entertained
that there was an aromatic odor of
predicated snap Judgment clustering
about which would burst forth. But
to assume anything of the kind at
this time would be akin to presuming
an occurrence. Yet at this distance
it look as If something was brewing.
There is no little speculation as to
how the call will be received. And
for that matter what degree Of sue
cess Jones will have as a leader. Some
doubt exists over his ability TO lead
even the brethren, of Minnehaha.
Casting aside all speculation = it
really would be interesting to know

su.noer,, "First Princ,ple,,n

In Spencer's First Principles he
endeavors to define the fields of the
unknowable and the movable and
the postulates with which the studies
Of the movable must be pursued.
When Spencer writes that 1.-THE man
Of science truly knows that in its ulti-
mate essence nothing can be known"
he is not referring to mans brain yes
terday or today. He means that the
fundamental principles of the universe,
like space. time, matter. force and mo-
tion. are by their very nature I'M
movable. Since all mans knowledge
of the cosmos can be traced back ulti-
mately to sense experience, and since
sense experience is not always relia-
BILE and much Of what he calls the
ultimate essence is entirely inaccessi-
ble to sense experience, 1t may be phil
osophically said that man cannot be
sure he really knows anything. Both
the strength and the weakness Of his
theory are due to the equivocal import
of the term "knowledge."-New York

1T PAYS WELL.

Early last August the publishers of
the UNION at an added expense de-
cided to make the paper eight pages,
the size it is today. At that time it
was a question whether the increased
expense would be warrantable. To
day it is shown in increased lists of
subscribers in every section of the
county as well as in the city, all of
whom have come to the paper unso-
licited. At that time magazine feat
ures,i choice miscellany and continued
stories were taken up and made a
prominent feature. The first serial
published was ".Whispering Smith, :"
and it proved a narrative of great in
terest to our readers, many compli-
ments being received with many
requests for complete numbers of the
paper during the time it was in print.
Since then the charming story . Rosa
lind at Red Gate" has been appearing
and is being read with interest. Now,
on the threshold of a new year, the
publishers wish to state to their
happy family of readers that the i'm
proyements in the UNION, have only
been begun, and that plans. for the
new year include the addition of many
new features such as heretofore have
never been attempted in weekly pa
per in a city the size Of Rapid City.
The changes will be noted later in
detail, but as it will take some few
weeks to bring them about we do not
care to give the details at this time.
The intention to publish a live paper,
filled with not only news Of the day
but other features of interest, win be
carried outsas time passes. The sub
scription price will remain the same
sl.50, per year in advance. Excellent
premiums will be offered from time to
time.

HE HITS GUARANTY LAW.

The expected has occurred at last.
When the bank guaranty law was en-
acted in Kansas there were many who
questioned its validity and wisdom Of
purpose, Since becoming a law 1t has
been watched with interest. Now
comes Judge Pollock Of the United.
States district court bench, with two
decisions holding theaaw invalid. His
ruling was on two cases Of interest.
One was entitled Frank. s. Lara
bee, stakeholder in the Exchange
State bank Of Hutchinson, against the
officers and directors Of the bank and
j. N. Dolley, state bank commits
sioner." His contention was that q
stakeholder in such a bank can object
and prevent the participation OF his
bank in aguaranty law. The learned
Judge upheld this contention in every
particular.
The other was that Of the Abilene
National bank against the state bank
commissioner and state treasurer, al
leging unconstitutionalityo the bank
guaranty law. Judge Pollock was not
50 positive in this case as In the first
mentioned, although he exhibited be-
lief in the soundnessof the contention.
Pending further investigation, he
granted q temp orary Injunction, hold
Ing the law imperative and fixing the
bond to be given by the bank. at $780,
COG, pending final disposition Of the
ease. s
This action, coming from q high
authority, will be q severe shock to
Bryan's pet hobby and may serve TO
awaken the people to the true situa-
tion. We do not care to state the law
5as vicious or damag ring Ia its purpose,
but ills legislation that requires TIE
