Monagamy Among Animals.


For ages the beasts have been CROP
ing for an ideal form of marriage"
says Ernest Thompson Seton In the
January Century In his story Of DOM
ino Reynard of Goldur Town." the his
tory of a noble silver fox with defin-
ite purpose. "All the schemes of hu-
man reverts they have tried, and all
found wanting but one. The only plan
that has satisfied the highest require
ments is pure monagamy. This is the
wed-law OF all the highest kinds. The
love-time fever passes. but another
bond remains. The love-fire of the
foxes had paled a little with the wan
ing of the hunger-moon. but more
abiding sense had supervened, even as
the sunset red on the hills may seem
more generous fire than the soft red
Of the granite: but one is there In splen
did moment. the other forever and
evermore. Love and friendship men
call them; and though the flickering
red light blazed SO bright at times, it
was the pale rock red that gave its
color to their lives. Domino and Snow
yruff were not only mates. but were
friends for life: for such is the way of
the noblest beasts. such Is the way of
foxes"

There is an old saying In England
among stOckmen that "the bull is nj
the herd" This is as true rs any old
saw ever uttered. but the stockmen
OF this country are still learning this
fact by experience. The main object
of the National Western Stock Show
is to educate the stockmen OF the West
to the fact that there is good profit In
good blood and In order that they may
profit b. the lesson In n practical way
the association has enlisted the assist.

animals In the various breeds that can
be sold to western breeders at n low
price. The public sales to be held at
the stock show In Denver during the
week of January 18th. are selected
from the best herds In America and
are sold not for the purpose Of making
a big profit, but to Introduce the breeds
into the West. The buyers make their
own prices The animals are selected
by a committee and are not only typi-
cal of the breed they represent. but are
choice individuals.

 COLLECTION OF GARBAGE
HEALTH OFFICER SHOWS COUNCIL REMEMBRANCE OF CONTRACT
 SYSTEM or WORK.

That. the city can save fully ons-half the experse now incurred for the col lection of garbage, by using its own teams for the work instead of letting contracts to outsiders, was the state. ment made to ths city council lass night by Dr. B. G. Fox, city healtl, officer.
 Dr. Fox based his assertions on tho cost of collecting rubbish throughou, the city, in the annual cleanup.
 This cleanup cost the city just s47 outside of the regular expenses. This was for the hire of extra men and was money spent by way of economy, ir the opinion of Dr. Fox.
 He is of the opinion that if the city owns it's teams and garbage wagons and does the collection work itself, the same number of men and teams can collect twice as many loads of garbage as Is TOW done by contract.
 It is probable that some action along this line will DC taken by the city coun cii in short time, as the city dads seem to favor the proposition.
