A NATURAL WONDER.
The DEVILS Race Course In the Blue
Ridao Mountains.

Ridge Mountains.
'sThe Blue Ridge mountains abound
In natural wonders" observed an old
resident of Penmar. Most wonderful
Of them all, in my opinion, is the Dew
IFS Race Course, which is but a short
walk from Penmar,
AT first view this strange natural
phenomenon appears like broad
roadway of great stones which ex-
tends away up the mountain In a path
no human hand could ever build.
Many of these great stones weigh
tons, while others are only a few hun
dredweight. Lying close together by
the thousand. they present an extraor-
binary spectacle.
'FKraditlon has it and scientists agree
that a thousand or more years ago
this strange track was the bed of an
ancient river. The conclusion is drawn
from the looks of the stones. They
are al well rounded and worn smooth,
showing the action of water, which
had polished their rough edges no
doubt for centuries.
But the mystery is If this theory be
true to explain how the great body Of
water was confined at the sides, for
the course is not hemmed in by high
banks. nor Is It located In ravine.
In fact, it stands somewhat higher
than the natural side of the mountain.
The puzzle only iutensities interest in
the queer place and multiplies the ar
guments and theories of its prehistoric
origin. baltimore American

THE ANIMAL MIND.
A Story About a Cow and the Calf
She Licked.

a Story About a Cow and the Calf
She Licked.
An absurd story is cited about
COW, showing what creatures of habit
animals are This particular COW
would not stand to be MIXED unless
she could lick her calf at the same
time For long time she always had
a calf Of some age or other TO lick,
but at last by i'll fortune one Of her
calves died.
There is no reason why bereayed
mother should mourn her loss just at
milking time, but there was the fixed
habit of making certain motions. The
farmer. however, was practical
psychologist. He stuffed the skin of
the calf with hay and let the COW
have that to lick. To be sure, the hay
calf had neither head nor legs. but
COW has no general ideas concerning
the nature of calves nor any special
reason for assuming that calves should
have heads and legs. 1t felt right, and
it smelled right. 1t enabled her to go
through the customary motions at
milking time Therefore II was sufi-
cient.
BY diut of caresslng and licking her
little calf the tender parent one fine
morning unripped it. The hay issued
from within, and the COW. manifest
ing not the slightest surprise or agita-
ton. proceeded TRANQUILITY to devour
the unexpected provender. - e. L.

it became touchy. At another time 1t

Influence of Prospects.

The Democratic campaign in New

that the Democratic Congressional cam
paign IS. There is too much Of a dispo-
sitiOn 10 believe that Democratic sue
cess this year is fOreOrdained and that
the only thing 10 do is 10 SIT down and
wait for it. Instead of making strong
and aggressive campaign in New York
on the real ISSUES, the Democrats are
talking about Roosevelt and 1912. IN

hgent campaign. that body is relying On

Interest Taken In Polls.
All manner Of polls OF the Congress
sioraI districts have been taken, but
one that has attracted much notice
the past week was prepared by the
Success Magazine. It bears out in
striking way the idea that the House
this year IS close. It comes to the
conclusion that 1873 Cons fessional dis
tricts are probably Republican, and
1S9, the same number, probably Demo-
cratic. leaving thirteen districts in
doubt The thirteen districts which,
according 10 this poll, will settle the
balance Of power in the House are

The dead body of Charles Denny. which had lain alone in his home al the corner of Yavapai and MDnteztIina streets for six days. was found yes terday morning. MT Denny was last seer alive last Monday. He l.ad beer in charge of the accounts of Figueroa & Santa Cruz. the blacksmiths, and when he had no. come to prepare the bills at the end of the month. Mir. F'igueroa went to his home yesterday morning.
 He found the door locked. and go- ing to a window. he saw a startling sight, the blackened face of q man lying on a cot. He informed the ro- lice and the door was forced open.
 Death had evidently come. painless'y, for the bed coverings which had been tucked about the dead man had not been disturbed. The body had not reached such an advanced stage of decomposition as might have been eX- pected.
 An inquest was held by Coroner Johnstone, at which it was brought out that the dead man had for years been d sufferer of heart trouble. The jury accordingly found that death lStd been caused by heart failure.
 MT Denny was 59 years of age. He came to Phoenix from Seattle six teen years ago. His only relative here is a daughter. Mrs. Harry Hancock.
