A Real Cute DOG.

A good dog story is attributed to
visitor to an English country inn on
market day. "Now." he said, 1--WE got
q dog here l wouldn't take EGO for.
You can believe me or not, but what l
am going to tell you is perfectly true.
In the early part Of last spring l lost
six ewes and could find them nowhere.
One day about three weeks later as l
was looking across from my house to
the edge Of the moor about two miles
away l noticed some sheep. ] got my
telescope and assured myself that they
were mine. l placed the telescope in
a suitable position and made Bob look
through It. After about a minute the
dog wagsed his tail and looked at me
as II he understood what ! wanted
and was OF like a shot. In less than
two hours he brought the sheep home
safe and sound"

A SQUARE DEAL.

The Kansas City Post endeavors to
give its readers a square deal in the
Swope mystery.
There is much excitement in Kan
sas City about the recent deaths in the
Swope family, and thousands of people
are anxious to believe that some of the
kin administered poison, with view
of gaining control of the Swope for
tune, but the Post prints this manly
editorial:
Simply as an editorial opinion, We
feel in duty bound, as an agency of
publicity, to say that there is no cred
liable evidence whatever tying the
Swope death tragedies to any certain
person or persons. Not only is there
no creditable evidence, but, even as a
matter of theory, the majority conclu'
sion is that the whole thing is the result
of accidental! natural causes, superin.
duced by the feelings and acts of
woman suffering extreme bereavement,
and whose point of view, therefore, is
inexplicable. 1t is most terri6cally
interesting story-with theories ram.
pant-one of the most remarkable
stories of the kind ever known-but,
after due knowledge and careful con.
sideration, We feel obligated to say that
the interest now lies in the details of
the development Of story of senti-
mental suspicious rather than in any
real evidence"
Every newspaper in the world
should print more editorial opinions of
that kind. There are innumerable
cases where the people are unduly ex.
cited, and hoping that uncommitted
crimes will develop. Where Nd crimes
are probable, the newspapers should
say so. We can pick up any news
paper any day, and point out dozen
hints" at sensations which have no
foundation. The "hint" that President
Taft has been guilty Of conspiripg
with rich trusts to rob the people Of
timber and coal lands, is without
foundation, yet how popular that
"hint" item is. People should not be
encouraged to believe that honest men
are thieves, or that decent men have
two wives. But this is exactly what
half the newspapers do, and exactly
what more than half the people seem
to vant.-Atchison Globe.

Senator Burkett of Nebraska last
week introduced q bill in the senate
that will make the hearts Of the rural
mail carriers warm to him. The bill

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Nebraskans in Washington
and the colony numbers nearly three
hundred-have had many reminders
of their home state during the past
week. With q visit from the COVER
nor. reception to A. F. Woods. who
is leaving his place As chief Of the
bureau of plant industry for a position
in the Minnesota agricultural school,
the excitement due to the activity Of
the Nebraska insurgents, and the stir
that Senator Burkett made on the
floor of the senate by trying to f)rce
the Aldrich.H Hale, etc, combination to
stop adjourning and get to work on the
passage Of the postal savings bank
bill and other important measures.
All these things have made the Ne
braskans feel more than ever that
representatives Of the old state are
doing things, and that Nebraska is
distinctly on the map.
Senator Burkett certainly ratified
the dry bones Of the senate leaders by
his objection last Thursday to adjourn.
ment over until Monday. The motion
to adjourn came from Senator Hale.
Custom and long service have made
him the autocrat in such matters, and
the committee on order Of business was
not prepared for Senator Burkett's
stormy protest, which came like a
thunder clap. Before the motion
could be put Senator Burkett sprang
to his feet, and with a fervor born Of
long.controlled impotence over the
inaction and dilatOry tactics Of the
senate bosses, he demanded that they
stop dawdling. delaying. adjourning,
waiting, etc, and get to work; that the
people had been promised q postal
savings bank bill, and many other
important matters, yet the senate had
done little during the two months
session except to consider mere routine,
and then "adjourn over" To a man
with a passion for work and desire to
secure reform legislation, this program
is intOlerable, and Senator Burkett
could not stand it. The fact that
Senator Hale made q vigorous and
rather scornfal reply, and succeeded
in passing his motion did not soothe
the Nebraska senator, who limited at
the discharge of committees that held
up big bills in their hands. Senator
Burkett fears that the big appropria-
ton bills may crowd out his postal
savings hank bill and is determined to
prevent it if possible.
Gov. Shallenberger did not know
exactly whether he was going to run

Ministers AND MEDICINE

WHAT ROOSEVELT WOULD DO.

The following paragraph was con-
tanned in the resolutions adopted by
the insurgents" at Lincoln:
1t would be worth while just now to
have the African lion hunter in the
place and furnished with the opportu-
nifty of President Taft. Can any one
doubt what would be the outcome of
Cannonism if President Roosevelt were
in Washington armed with his big
stick? 1t would be a fight to the
finish; Cannonism would be beaten to
pulp and the champion of the people
would come out triumphant and ready
for further controversy.
That Roosevelt would be doing ex.
actly what President Taft is, that is
allowing the house to take care Of its
own rules, is apparent from the fact
that that is Just exactly what Roose'
welt did do during the seven years in
the white house. Cannon was just a:
much a car then as now, and the
rules were the same then as now. In
stead of using his big stick on Canon
ism, President Roosevelt linked uE
with Cannon and sought the speaker:
aid on whatever Legislation he desired

would do if he were there, when, as 8

house shows that he kept his hands of

ing" in the south. The main actor in
the story was a dog whose piteous
bowling one night attracted attention.
Investigation disclosed that it had sat
down on sharp rake tooth and was
too tired to get up.
When Nebraska people complain Of
the price of meat, and talk of boy
colt, plan to cut of their nose to
spite their face, and call on the gov
eminent to come to the rescue, one is
forced to wonder if q share Of Mr..
Rockefeller's worm million is not
needed here. Here we are, cattle, cat.
tie, everywhere and not a steak to eat.
There is hardly a church steeple in
Nebraska from whose top q sharp eyed
townsman cannot see cattle, hogs and
chickens enough to founder the town
every day in the week. Free roads
lead to this fatness. Yet here We are,
quarreling at some gentlemen in Chi
cago for not selling meat at prices
within our means.
In the past there was some excuse
for hopelessness Of getting of the rake
tooth. In old days these Chicago gen.
tlemen could and did destroy the local
butcher who made an effort to short
circuit them by getting the steer to the
table without shipping him alive five
hundred miles and then shipping him
back dead FIVE hundred miles, toll be-
ing taken incidentally and respectively

GREAT RIVERS MANY NAMES
Various Aliases Under Which the
Hudson Has Been Known in
Past Centuries.

In the course of the last 400 years
the Hudson has been known by at
least 20 different names. and even to.
day. in New York, at any rate, It is
indifferently referred to as the Hud.
son and the North river.
While Henry Hudson is universally
acclaimed as the discoverer of the no.
BILE river which bears his name. It is
well known that nearly a century be-
fore Hudson's successful exploitation,
John da Nerrazano. a Florentine. en-
tered the mouth of the Hudson and re.
ported that he had passed up the river
about a league in boat. not ven
turing to sail his vessel. the Dauphine.
up a river with which he was unfa-
miliar.
A sudden squall impelled him to re.
turn to his ship. Verrazano called the
Hudson the river of steep of hills"
This was in 1924. Some years later
Verrazano's brother made a map of
the region. and he named the mouth
of the Hudson San Germano."
In 1925 Spaniard named Gomez.
who came to America on an exploring
trip, made chart upon which he des.
ignated the Hudson as San Antonio"
When, some so years later, Henry
Hudson. in his efforts to reach the
East Indian possessions of the Dutch
East India Company by northwest
route, accidentally ran into the Hud-
son, he promptly dubbed 1t the Man
hates" from the name of the Indians
who dwelt at its mouth.
Hudson sailed slowly up the river
as far as Albany, and his experiences
with the Indians and his observations
OF the surrounding country were so
gratifying that he returned home with
glowing reports of the new-found coun-
try.

An unsuitable" target, sent all the
way from the Brooklyn navy yard to
the Philippines, to be used in practice
by Uncle Sans warships of the Pacific
fleet, was actually sent to the bottom.
This might seem a reflection upon the
judgment of those who constructed the
target But circumstances alter cases.
II was not anticipated that the men
behind the guns would shoot with such
force and effect. The target was of
armor plate, with air chambers to keep
it afoat. But the bluejackets filled it
so full of holes that even air chambers
could not save 1t, and down it went.
The incident is another testimonial as
TO the kind of firing done by the men
on American naval vessels.
