Excellent natural pottery is manu-
factured by nature in the case of a
certain cactus. Woodpeckers are
apt to excavate nests IN the trunk
and branches, and, in order that 1t
may protect itself against these in
cursions, the plant exudes sticky
Juice, which hardens, forming a
woody lining to the hole made by the
birds. Eventually the cactus dies and
withers, but the wooden bowl re-
mains.

IN COW COUNTRY
Thirty Miles Across the Plains of
Wyoming-Not Even Sore.

Cheyenne, Wyo, Aug. 29.-On tough,
wiry cow ponies, Theodore Roosevelt
rode 80 miles across the plains of Wy
oming Sunday. He wanted to get back
once more among the cowboys in their
own country and mingle with them as
he did in the old days 81 years ago,
when the lure of the west brought him
out here a young man from the east.
He visited the sheep ranch of Senator
Warren and returned to Cheyenne more
enthusiastic than ever about the won
ders of the west
Colonel Roosevelt began the day by
going to church. Early in the afternoon
he mounted his horse. He had a relay
of three mounts and he rode them like
cavalryman. When the ride was over
he said he had enjoyed every minute
of it, and was not bit stiff or sore.
Lieutenant Thompkins of Fort D. A.
Russell, R. S. Van Tassle, who owns a
ranch near Cheyenne, and Nat Baker, a
ranchman, accompanied him.

The Shah's HIGHWAY.

but most of our highways compared
with those of Persia would be as a

attention has been given to this sinh

there are not dozen good wagon

The caravan routes are, except in
very few cases, merely trails. Not
only are the wagon roads bad as well

fact that although Persia is one of

Dry Farming Proclamation.
OLYMPIA. AUG. I'd. 1l

Olympia, Aug. "a, 1910.
To the Citizens of Washington:
The time is drawing near for the
fifth Dry Farming congress and exposi-
ton in Spokane. The exposition will
open Monday, October 3, at 10 0 clock,
and will last one week. The congress
will open Monday evening and close
Thursday evening.
The state of Washington is host of
this congress and exposition. We are
in a way responsible for its success or
failure. !, therefore, feel that Wash
ington should be well represented by
strong delegations from the various or
CARNATIONS entitled to representation
from the farming sections Of our state,
either by delegates from county COM
missioners and farmers organizations,
from cities, or as personal members of
the congress.
The fourth Dry Farming congress at
Billings, Mont, last year, was attended
by 1850 delegates. Let us quadruple
this number if possible in the case Of
the Spokane convention.
1 am informed by the secretary of
the congress that special rates have
been granted by all railroads coming
into Spokane for this convention.
AS governor of Washington, know
of no more important movement before
our people this year. Dry farming has
certainly proved itself to be a most
efficacious method of agriculture under
the present conditions of drouth and
appeal to you to begin the sending of
exhibits and the organization of dele
gates at once.
You may correspond, if you please,
directly with the secretary of the con-
gress, Mr.. John IT, Burns, at Spokane,
and he will be glad to send information,
premium lists, etc, when requested TO
do so. Very respectfully yours,
M. Il. HAY. Governor.

KINDS OF COURAGE
individuality Among Lower Animals
- Marked as II Is Among
Human Beings.

Il believe that there are az man,
different kinds of courage among AMI
mails as among men," said John
Trainor of Richmond, Va.
There are men who can wade into
a crowd of husky opponents. and, as
long as fists are the weapons, fight
to the last gasp. Some OF these same
men may dodge around the corner
as soon as a revolver shows up. On
the other hand a gun fighter, de-
prived of his weapon, may get out OF
the way speedily before the fists of
an angry enemy
There is just about the same sort
of difference between the courage dis
played by possum and coon. I've
just come back from a little hunting
trip in the mountains of Virginia, and
! heard more than one story which
proved this assertion. When pos
sum is freed or DENIED he never pre-
tends to show fight. He just hugs
the limb and calmly waits for one of
the hunters to climb up the tree OF
into the den and pull him out. OF
course, he will bite if he is not seized
behind the neck, but he never puts
up fight.
Nov, a coon is one OF the nastiest
customers for pack OF dogs to han
die that you can readily find He is
game to the core. and many valu-
able coon dog has passed away as a
result of one of these encounters.
First of all, when he finds the dogs on
his trail he will try to escape. But
when he is cornered there is bound to
be some trouble for dog or two Of
the pack.
the peculiar feature, though. is
that a possum can whip a coon with
out half trying The coon is afraid of
the possum and gives him a wide
berth They tell stories down there
In the mountains to the effect that a
coon, worsted in a fight with a pos
sum, has fought off a pack of dogs.
and that this same pack has then
freed the possum. who allowed him
self to be captured without a struggle.
A possum has coon courage but no
dog courage don't pretend to I'M
derstand the reason for these traits,
but am sure of the facts"
