HOW ANIMALS LEARN.

Learning is the great problem in ali hui

facts only by resorting TO experiment.

THE UNSPoKEN CALL

From out the silence comes a Turing
song;
The great hills lift their voices. and
their cry
Is heard through all life's turmoil;
loud and high
1t calls us to them, from the strug-
Cling throng.
The bare, wide deserts. with their
burning sands,
Have poignant calls which all their
kindred hear;
Their spell of desolation and of
fear
Has mightier lure than all the YER
dured lands.
The lonely prairies. where the seas
of green
Unbroken sweep to the horizon
line,
Where man has left no imprint
and no sign,
Call to us always, though seas in
tervene.
The forests, stately. beautiful, which
bring
Down balm from heaven for every
weary soul
Their voices plead in every organs
roll,
We hear their call in all the winds
that sing.
And the great oceans-midway from
each beach
We feel their salt spray on our
parching lips;
Their waves moan in each wind
that onward slips;
BY day and night the call-call and
beseech.
Through all the tumult of the street
rings clear
Their noiseless clamor and Their
voiceless cry;
The strong winds bring it: piercing
sweet and high
1t calls-and all the soul awakes to

universal observance. Originating in
the pious desire of our fOrefathers to
make public acknowledgement of their

providence of God, it has, in the course
of time, grown to be one of our great
national holidays in which all our peo-

the spirit of thanksgiving, gladly par
ticipate.
In accordance with the proclamation
of the president of the United States,
and following the precedents of the
past, in recognition of the goodness
and mercy of Almighty God in bestow-
ing upon us as a people prosperity.

some" a Man.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. X. Phillips of Yer

city, en- route to California, where they
viii visit sister of Mr. Phillips. They
came here several days ago to visit
with Probate Judge Phillips and fami-
ly and came early that they might take
in the territorial fair Mr. Phillips is a
brother of Judge Phillips. little
younger, quite prosperous in business
matters, fat and good natured and al
together mighty fine fellow, but he
lacks in part the abnormal beauty of
his resident brother, whose marvellous
pulchritude has made him famous from
Naco to Cataract canyon and from
the White river to the Shiny Colorado
w. X. Phillips is regarded in his
home town as some hOrseman, having
been in the business ever since he was
a colt himself. He knows as much as
anybody can know about horse meat
without eating it, and, what is more
he knows how to make money out of
the business. He is a horse buyer and
seller rather than a horse trainer, and
during the Spanish-American war he
was besought by the United States
with the proper sort of mounts on
which to ride to victory. In his work
as a horse buyer he has made many
friends through the east and south, and
has a speaking acquaintance with ev-
cry salable horse and mule south of
the Mason and Dixon line and between
the Indiana boundary and the Missouri
river. No horse needs TO be introduced
to him, for he knows the horse
language and speaks it fluently
Mr.. Phillips is the sort of a man Ari-
IONA likes to have visit her fair, for
he knows a good thing when he sees it.
He says he was amazed at the fine
conditions obtaining in this valley and
cOngratulates the local horsemen on
their climate pastures, general condi-
tons and the measure OF development
they have obtained in their breeding
enterprises. 1t is demonstrated by the
kind of stock he has seen, that the Ari-
IONA hOrsemen are already up in their
business, and can tell Shetland pony
from a PercherOn stallion with their
hands tied. behind them and their
fingers crossed. Judging from his en-
thusiasm, if Mr.. Phillips fingers around
here very long he will get the Salt river
valley bug and open up a branch office
in Phoenix. If he doesn't Phoenix will
wish he had.

PURELY VEGETABLE
THE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

1t is generally recognized fact
| that medicines taken from the botan-
ical kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
herS and the finest of ali tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofula, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. 1t is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with Scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. SIS. is unequalled as
tonic; it invigorates every portion Of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system If you need

ITALY TO SPEND $2,00O,0O0
ON DIRIGIBLE BALLOONS
Provision Made in Budget for
Aerial Fleet

ROME, July 16.-UneXpected opposi-
tion was raised by the extreme left
this week to the addition of $2,000,000 to
the military estimates as an eXtraordi-
nary grant for the creation of a fleet
of dirigible balloons. The arguments
were those generally advanced by So
cialist deputies against any increase of
military expenditure, and it was urged
at the same time that this additional
sum made the whole provision for the
military aer0nautic department no less
than 10000
General Spingardi, the minister, said
it would be strange indeed if Italy,
which had been almost the first to
solve the problem of aviation, should
be the last to turn it to practical use.
After debate the question was put and
the grant was passed by 223 votes
against "a.
The unbroken series of successful
trials achieved by the military balloons
have naturally made a great impress
sion on the general public. which now
places complete confidence in the pres
ent brigade of specialists. 1t seems
likely that within two years, if not
earlier, Italy will possess an efficient
aerial fleet unequaled elsewhere.
