Wild DOGS In Africa.

The wild dogs in Africa are more
feared by the natives than any other
beasts, for, while they are not to be
dignified by the term Of game, they
run in packs and seem to know that
the native is afraid Of them. Native
burden bearers will often take their
chances in passing around buffalo
herd and will hardly notice lion, but
when they hear the howl Of the wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing on their heads and take to
the trees. There they are frequently
held captive until their cries summon
assistance. Crossing the trail Of large
game these dogs often interfere with
the pursuit. At distance the hunter
is likely to mistake them for leopards
or some of the smaller game. Intense
disgust follows the wounding Of wild
dog. for then, according to the ethics
Of the chase. the true sportsman must
pursue and kin the beast. These dogs
are not degenerates, but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies Gov
cred with hair of coach dog growth,
bushy tails and powerful paws.-Mc-
Cures Magazine.

Japan to use Goats Milk.

The John Walsh Situation.

Before this issue of the News
reaches it's readers one of the
"Napoleons of Finace," John R.
Walsh, will take up his residence
at Fl. Leavenworth, Kansas.
This great change in residence
was brought about by the Su-
preme Court of the United
States which has spoken the
last word in the case Of John R.
Walsh. The subtlest arguments
\of the able lawyers for the de-
lens have failed to change the
rdict of the jury.
Almost no one in his heart
wants to see this old man of II
years of age-g to prison for the
term of five years. His courage
and indomitable will, qualities
which have marked his wonder
full career from a poor lad of the
streets selling newspapers to the
possession of wealth and power
almost unequaled in Chicago,
were never better displayed
than in his fight for freedom.
He won much sympathy as he
fought, but the law is inexora-
BILE, mo man," said President
Roosevelt, is above the law and
no man is below it," Could a
better illustration Of this great
truth be asked than the career
and fate of John R. Walsh.

Good Books as Friends.

Good books are the only true
friends upon this earth. We
can trust them and feel that
they will never desert US in our
time of need, but not so with
human beings. We might be
able to find true friend occa-
sionally, but how frequently
does it occur that this supposed
true friend is the first to desert
us.
A man can always have
friends(?) when he has money,
UT when he is stricken by a
sudden calamity. or when he
egins slowly to descend into
Sldigence and obscurity, when
ne is almost reduced to state
pf penury, where are his friends
then? There are not his friends
NHe has been deceived. They
are his enemies. Why? Be
cause he is down and out.
Only the person who reads
these good books knows how
dear these silent, yet eloquent
companions of pure thoughts
become in the seasons of adver,
sity.
When all else turns to dross
around us these retain then
steady value. When friends
grow cold these continue the un
altered countenance of happier
days and cheer US with that
true friendship which never de
ceived hope or deserted sorrow

What appeared rather a nov
city to the pedestrians and
others who passed along on the
north side of the square Thurs
day night was to see the large
steel Corless burglar proof safe
occupying part of the street,
apparently unguarded and alone
with no other watch on duty
save the brightness of the moon,
containing wealth the greatness
of which is known to but few,
and still it stood sphinx-like in
the light of the moon unmo-
Tested, unknown and unthought
of by many citizens, but doing
its duty in containing and Sc
curing it's vast wealth. On ac-
count of its great avoirdupois, it
had to be moved from it's old
resting place in the First Natl
Bank into the street on timbers
and so across to the new bank
building, the distance being such
that the removal could not be
made in one day so had to re-
main in the street one night.

mentioned that the settlers of

preparations for such cold snaps
as occurred a few days ago, They
build most of their houses up on
posts and the cold wind drives
through the openings making it
uncomfortable. They should put

their houses and then some of

Burlesque on Courts.

Last week a former well known
resident of this city who was under
Indictment for a serious crime was
tried and aquitted. In his rouble
he had the sympathy of many for
the reason that he was a young man;
and because he has a family-a vile
and three bright children, who would
have had to bear the burden of the
disgrace in case of conviction. A
large lumber believed the accused to
be innocent of wrong doing and in
this opinion they have been vindlea
ted by the twelve men who sat In the
Jury box during the trial.
Naturally, the friends of the young
man were jubilant over the outcome
and they showered him with congrat-
ulations as they had a perfect right
to do.
But there they should have stop
ped. Instead, some of the more
Jealous ones. proposed something on
the order OF a celebration of their
friends aquittal. A petition was
passed around and in this way funds
were raised. A few hand bills were
struck off and the town circularized
calling attention to a free dance
with everybody invited" The dance
took place and, We are informed,
about forty persons were In atten-
dance.
To make a public display of this
kind and under such circumstances,
in the opinion of the Record, tends
to encourage crime rather than to
discourage it.. In other words, IL
places a premium upon lawlessness.
Such ostentation, whether the verdict
had been for or against the defen-
dant, was entirely out of place and
only leads right thinking people on
outside, likewise those at home to
look upon our courts system as a
farce, with every element of dignity
or respect lacking.
The affair was severely criticized
by many of the foremost citizens of
Phoebe, some of whom were close
personal friends of the former bank
cashier and who labored with the lat
ter in an endeavor to have the func-
ton called off. But plans had pro-
crossed too far and the program was
carried out. We cannot help but be-
lieve that had the gentlemen who are
responsible for the demonstration ex-
ercised their better judgment, they
would not have permitted such a
burlesque on the courts of this eoun-
ty. The affair was an insult to Judge
Brown, whom, we are informed, ex-
pressed much displeasure as well as
surprise that such a function should
have been pulled off in this city. 1t
would have been just as discreet to
have held Karakas up as a hero af-
ter the dismissal of the charge of
burglafy.-Pioche Record.

What is Home Without a Daddy.

We happened in a home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend, worked in letters of red,
What Is Home Without Mother"
Across the room was another brief
God Bless Our Home" says a
father who knows.
Now what's the matter with God
Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg and wipes
off the dew of dawn with his boots
while many a mother is sleeping. He
makes the weekly nandout for the
butcher. the grocer, the milkman
and the baker and his pile is badly
worn before he has been home an
hour.
If there Is a noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
to go down stairs and find the
burglar and kill him. Mother darns
the socks, but dad bought the socks
In the first place, and the needles and
yarn afterwards. Mother does up
the fruit; we'll dad bought 1t all, and
jars and sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself and
draws the neck from the ruins after
every one else is served. What Is
Home Without a Mother?" Yes,
that is all right, but what Is home
without a father? Ten chances to
one it's a boarding house. father is
under a slab. and the landlady is the
widow. Dad, here's to you-you've
got your faults; you may have lots
of 'em-but you're all right, and we
will miss you when you're gone.
