result of my act was as amazing to
me as to the others near by. So far
as | or any of those at hand could OBJ

SEES KIN IN PHOTO
Chimpanzee Recognizes the Pic
ture of One of Its Kind.
Gazea lntentIy at Features and, with
Evident Recognition, lmplants on
Card Affectionate Kiss and
Hands Back.

Harrisburg, Pam incident sug,
gestive of Darwin's theory of mans
monkey ancestry occurred here in the
remarkably human" conduct Of a
trained chimpanzee exhibited before
DR.. Samuel G.. Dixon, state commits
siOner of health, and eminent among
American biologists and scientists.
This anthropoid, Lady Betty" by
name, was seated in the commission
er's private office calmly smoking a
cigarette when DR.. Dixon, merely to
see what the effect might be, handed
her a photograph of one Of her own
species-a copy of one in the cOllec-
ton presented the American Academy
Of Natural Sciences by DR.. Thomas
Biddle.
Lady Betty" took the picture in
her right hand" turned in her seat
to get the most favorable light upon
it, gazed intently at the features, and
then, with every indication of pleased
recognition, pressed it to her lips, i'm
planting upon 1t an affectionate kiss,
After which she gracefully handed
It to the scientist. leaving him and the
office assistants who were witnesses
of the proceedings amazed at such an
exhibition of human attributes.
Il picked up the photograph" said
Dr.. Dixon, land handed it to her. She
took the picture, turned 1t around
carefully to get it in the right posi-
ton and moved her body into first
one position and then another, in or
der to get the proper light upon the
picture. She studied that photograph
as intelligently as any human being
could have done. Suddenly she kissed
1t.
I'm succession the photographs of a
gorilla and other anthropoids were
given her. She looked at them, but
made no such move of recognition or
affection"
Accompanied by her owner and
trainer, Lady Betty" had entered the
room with grace and dignity and with
out a word Of command, had walked
up to DR.. Dixon and shaken hands
with him. He asked her to be seated
and she took chair beside his desk.
Her trainer then asked if she would
like to smoke, and in response to an
affirmative nod, he gave her a ciga-
rette and match. Deity she struck
light, and after making the desired
use of 1t, blew it out. Then she
looked around for some place to put
the burnt stick, of which she was re-
lieved by the trainer.
1t was at this juncture that DR..
Dixon thought Of the photographs in
his desk. His long association with
the Philadelphia geological gardens,
OF which he has for many years been
vice-president, has brought him in
contact with many members of the
monkey family, and he has made a
special study of the alleged relation
ship between that group of animals
and human beings. That he had no
thought of in any way arousing Lady
Betty's" interest in the photograph is
best evidenced by his own statement:

Then I changed my food and be-

MAGIC OF A NAME.
Minot Attorney Managed to Have
Fast Train Stop at Towner.

Up until Wednesday, Jan. 10; No.
2, the fast train on the Great North
ern had always passed through
Towner without hesitating and the
officials in this city were surprised
to receive orders of g. special stop
on Wednesday night. The facts of
the case we're not brought to light
until Friday and are as follows:
Attorney John Burke Of Minot had
an important case at Towner, but
owing to the annulment of No. 4,
would have been unable to reach the
court room unless on No. 2. His elo-
quent plea to the local officials was
of no avail, and in desperation the
following telegram was sent:
S. J. Ellison, St. Paul: Have i'm
portant matters at Towner. Can you
stop No. 2?
(Signed) "John Burke
The train was ordered stopped and
the officials doubtless still believe
that the governor of North Dakota is
under obligations to them.

We are positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation
no matter how chronic 1t may be,
and we offer to furnish the medicine
at our expense should it fail to pro-
duce satisfactory results. '
1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause q reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more chron-
ic. Besides, their use becomes a.
habit that Is dangerous. 49,
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles Of the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen the
organs and restore them to healthier
activity.
The discovery of the active princi-
pie Of our remedy involved the labor

exceedingly pleasant to take, being
eaten like candy, and are ideal for

survivor from the first class coacn'
gave a graphic account OF his ex-
Deriences. Mr.. Pearce was getting q
drink at the water tank at the END
of the car when the crash came.
Finding himself struggling in water,
hut with his head out, he reached
the fan light in the end Of the car
broke the glass and the wire screen
and struggled through, with his face
badly cut. Running along the top OF
the firstclass car, he found space
of about six feet separating 1t from
the diner. Risking his life, on the
floating ice, he almost reached the
diner when he lost his footing ana
was plunged into the icy water. But
projecting pipe from the roof OF
the diner was within his reach ana
climbing up by means of the pipe
he ran along the top of the diner to
the shore.
Wires We're Down.
The telegraph wires were all torn
down and it was evident that relief
could not be summoned by wire. 1t
was five miles to the village of Marin
and the drenched survivor ran the
distance to deliver report OF the
wreck at the Canadian Pacific depot
at that place.
| Conductor a Hero.
Meanwhile Conductor Thomas Rey-
nolds was proving himself hero In
rescuing eight passengers from the
sunken dining car. When the wreck
occurred, Reynolds, with w. J. Bell,
and David Brodie, had just set down
for an early dinner. Bell and Brodie
were facing the engine and Rey-
nolds sat down opposite them and
riding backwards. The diner was
the last car to enter the water and
did not sink at once, but settled
slowly, while the passengers climb
ed upon the tables to keep their
heads above the rising water.
Passengers Dragged Out.
With several passengers standing
in water up to their chins, the Stu
alton was desperate. Then it was
that Reynolds made a dive to reach
window, broke the glass and sue
ceeded in rising to the surface OF the
river outside the car. Happily he
reached the surface where a hole in
the ice enabled him to gain a solid
footing by resting one arm on the
roof of the car and the other on the
ice. Gaining the roof of the car he
broke fan light with his fist and
rescued little Alfonso Rousel, OF
Sault Ste. Marie. After the little boy
came R, M. Brodie of Sudbury, who

the fan light. Six more passengers
who were too big to be rescued in
this manner, were taken out through
a hole broken in the roof of the car.
It is said that Mrs. C. Houde, aunt
of the little boy, who was rescued,
was almost saved, with the others.

UNIONISTS Have
CONTINUED from page L.

the Unionists have experienced since
the elections began last Saturday.
The most sanguine among them
hardly predicted the capture from
the enemy of 10 seats, while the Lib
erals found small satisfaction in two
gains from yesterdays belated re-
turns and two from among the seven
seats announced tonight.
The week ends with the Unionists
jubilant and confident. The Liber-
ais cannot possibly control enough
of the remaining elections to give
them an independent majority in the
house, however small. The days re-
suits follow the trend begun on
Thursday. The counties continue to
come forth for the Unionists, who
are reversing the Liberal majorities
in many places and achieving sub
stantial gains in all the county con-
stituences, except in a few where
party quarrels occurred or the Lib
eral candidates commanded great
personal popularity.
The Nationalist are assured of the
control of the house, according to all
political prophets. The report was
circulated today that Premier As
quith would resign and request the
King to summon conservatives to or
ganize the government, if the Liber-
ais failed to secure majority of
their own party, so that they could
conduct legislative business without
the help Of their Irish allies. Politi-
clans, however, do not credit this re-
port.
