AN OWL STORY.
Showing the Tyrannous Effect of HABIT
Upon a Wild Animal.

Showing the Tyrannous Effect of HABIT
Upon Wild Animal.
An English publication tells this in
teresting story OF an owl:
A vague figure appeared out of the
clouds. travelling against the wind to-
ward the spire and looking more like
a ragged piece of newspaper whirled
about the heavens than any living
thing. 1t was "a white owl and after
watching him for some time came
to the conclusion that he was trying
to get to the vane of the spire. A very
idle ambition 1t seemed, for. although
he succeeded again and again In get
ting to within few yards of the
point aimed at. he was on each occa-
sion struck by fresh violent gust and
driven back to a great distance, often
quite out of sight in the gloom. But
presently he would reappear. still
struggling to reach the vane. A crazy
bird.
But l could not help admiring his
pluck and greatly wondered what his
secret motive in aiming at that windy
perch could be. And ut last, after so
many defeats, he succeeded and
grasped the metal crossbar with his
crooked talons. The wind with all its
fury could not tear him from it. and
after a little tapping he was able to
pull himself up. and then. bending
down. he deliberately wiped his beak
ON the bar and flew away.
This. then. had been his powerful.
mysterious motive-just to wipe his
beak. which he could very well have
wiped on any branch or barn roof or
fence and saved himself that tremen"
dous labor. This was an extreme in
stance of that tyrannous effect of
habit on wild animal. Doubtless this
bird had been accustomed after de-
vouring his first mouse to fly to the
vane. where he could rest for few
minutes. taking a general view of the
place. and wipe his beak at the same
time. and the habit had become so
strong that he could not forego his
visit even on so tempestuous an even

Going the Wrong Way.

A self conscious aud egotiStica
young clergyman was called to n
church in a small town in upper New
York. After his first service the
youthful minister asked one of the
deacons, big hearted but extremely
plain spoken old fellow, what be
thought of this mornings effort"
The deacon was silent a few mo
ments before replying. Finally he
said:
We'll. I'll put it to ye in a kind of
parable. 1t reminded me of Tom Dor

In addressing the graduates he
said: 'You have had your trials,
conflicts and disappointments as well
as joys and victories. Let your aim,

suit. Mr.. Fitzhugh's letter is a long
one, dealing with the situation in ev-
cry detail. The writer points out the
alleged injustice of this provision,
which would rob city situated on a
navigable stream of the advantages it
enjoys in the way of freight rates.
The bill in it's present form, it is
said would be to the advantage of
the Western states, which have few
navigable streams.
Mr.. Fitzhugh in his letter to Sena-
tor Percy requests the latter to op-
pose the bill, unless that provision is
stricken out, and Senator Percy,
whose home city, Greenville, enjoys
the advantage of competitive
water rates on all freight
shipments, it is said will first
fight the amendment. Failing to get
that eliminated he will take up the
fight against the entire bill.
The Jackson Board of Trade, at it's
next meeting, will take this matter
up, it is said, and protest will be
forwarded to Senator Percy against
the act. Letters will also be sent to
every member of the Mississippi dele
cation, requesting him to fight this

President Taft still refuses to re-
lent in his opposition to congress
sional investigation of either the sug-
ar underweigh.ng frauds or the sale
by the government of valuable sugar
lands to the sugar trust. The first
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive John A. Martin, of the second
Colorado district, providing for an
investigation by Congress was smoth
cred to death. Mr.. Martin has now
introduced a second resolution. He al
leges that the sugar trust has been
allowed to acquire $4,000 acres of the
richest sugar lands in the Philip
pines, and that the validity of this
transaction is open to most serious
question, in view of the fact that the
present law of the Philippines ex-
pressly declares that not more than
$500 acres of land shall be sold to
any single corporation. Sanction was
given to the transaction in question
by Acknowledgement Wickersham.wh
was former member of the New
York sugar trust law firm Of Strong
& Cadwalader, which firm Mr.. Mar
tin declares was directly concerned
with the alleged illegal sale. Presi-

can much longer prevent sweeping
investigation of the entire scandal is
extremely doubtful.

NEW MINING DEPARTMENT.

With some 1t is hard to see Just |
where the benefits are to be derived !
from a department of mining under
supervision Of the government. The
Geological department has accomplish
ed much and could do great deal
more were it encouraged by greater
attention from those who would be
able to aid it. II the department of
mines can improve upon present con-
ditions, and not limit or restrict ac-
ton upon the part. of the miner, it
will be an acquisition much desired
Mining papers remote from the mines
are in full cry after this much-herald-
ed new departure. 1t is boon to their
business of publishing and advertis-
ing mining wants, and the editors
probably never saw stope and
wouldn't know its necessity were they
to come upon one without the aid of
artificial light. If no restrictions are
placed upon the pretty liberal condi-
tons now existing, the new depar-
ture may work out many unsolved
problems. But what would be most de
sired is a department which could
tell where and when to stop work
ing property. Much money is lost
in blind cropping for leads. If real
ly good geologist could locate in
every mining camp and give practical
information to guide the miner, much
could be accomplished. In the dis
covery Of a new mining section an
aid of the department should make it
his business to Immediately make
report and publish It at place near
est to the new discovery, also give
it wide circulation and prominence
OF course, if so-called mining experts
knew it all, there would be few min
ing districts remaining to be discover
ed. The best they can do, is to SIM
ply report on what they see from the
work accomplished.
The idea of establishing a depart
ment of mines seems to be popular.
The individual miner might be dub
ous about committing himself. Con-
vince him that it is to his advant-
age and he will no doubt welcome the
innovation. Boiled to fragments or
residue, the whole subject would
seem to take on a condition suggest
! ing the safeguarding of miners in
working mines of nature danger
. Gus in their operation, such as prin-
cipally come under the heading of
) mining for coal. There is really no
: opposition to the establishment of a
, department of mines. 1t may aid the
, socialistic idea of more jobs for the
unemployed. This exploiting the gov
! eminent for places with salary at
) tachment will yet solve the problem
of living-where all are working for
the government. And that is what So
| cialism really means with the addi-
ton of paternalism. And there seems
| to be a great deal of that nowadays.

SENATOR ALpRIcH IS
A TRICKY ONE.

Clyde H. Tavenner, special Wash
ington correspondent Of the Observer
writes that Senator Aldrich's an
that he will not be a
candidate for reelection is being re-
garded with increasing suspicion in
Washington as manifest political
trick.
1t is doubtful if a single one of the
genuine progressive Republicans real
ly believes that the Rhode Island
boss intends to relinqutsh his con-
troll of legislation moment sooner
than he has to. Even few ''regu-
lars" have privately expressed the
belief that Aldrich might consent TO
reelection, basing this conclusion
upon what they characterized as the
enormous pressure" which will no
doubt be brought to bear upon AID
rich to cause him to change his mind.
Because Of his record of under
handedness and trickery in dealing
with the Senate and the public, every
thing Senator Aldrich does or says
should be carefully analysed before
accepted on it's face value.
Aldrich does not say anywhere that
he will not accept reelection. He
says he will not be a candidate" 1t
would be no surprise to Senators who
know Aldrich il the words Il am not
Candidate for reelection" should
turn out after the fall congressional
elections to have been but another OF
his famous "iokers." with which the
Payne Aldrich tariff law is overload
ed.
The corporation interests served
by Aldrich can best maintain the ex
cessive tariff rates, which give them
monopolies on American markets and
make it possible for them to collect
enormous profits from consumers
through a Republican administration
Therefore it is but natural that AID
rioh's primary object at this time is
to keep the Republicans in power.
What move on Aldrich's part could
relieve the Republicans of so heavy
responsibility in the approaching
Congressional elections as the an
nouncement of his retirement? Realz
ing that his long representation O.
Big Business has earned for him the
enmity of the American people, ant
that his name is to be one of thS
main issues in the fall campaign, i
is but giving due credit to Aldrich'!
reSourcefulneSS to assume that h
figured it out he could not serve the
special interests better at this time
| than to announce his retirement, i
such announcement would help tn
Republican party over dangerou:
shoals.
Aldrich is taking no chances in an
nouncing that he will not again be {
candidate. He can change his mint
easily, or he can have reelection
forced" upon him. Should the mex
house be Democratic, however, Aid
rich might not care to come back tt
the Senate, for it would then be OBJ
vious that he could put through none
of his own peculiar style of legisla
ton.
