Nseks and Leos Of Animals.

With few exceptions there Is a mark

necks and Of the legs Of both birds and
Quadrupeds, and whether they be long
or short IL determined chiefly by the
place where the animal must so for
its food. This Is especially noticeable
In beasts that feed constantly upon
grass, In which case the neck has just
a slight advantage in that II cannot
hang perpendiculhrly down. Croco'
diles, lizards and fish have practically
no necks. Fowls that feed In the
water also offer an example OF thi"
correspondence between the members,
with the exception Of swans and geese
and some Indian birds, which gather
their food from the bottom Of pools
and must have long necks for that pur'
pose. while the short legs make 1t
more convenient for them to swim.-

man went away leading the dog by his
new collar and chain. In less than Il
week he brought the dog back.
"I'm afraid | can't keep him." he
said. "He II too obstreperous. | can't
keep him tied up. His neck Is the big
gest part of him, and he is as strong
as an OK, therefore II Is cinch for
him to slip his collar Off"
"That was why wanted you TO take
two collars" said the dealer. Put
both on and fasten the chain to the
back collar. and he can tug away al

A Cold Ridn.

All through his life Senator Dolliver
of Iowa had a horror OF fast trains
and possible railroad wrecks. Once he
was on train with Vice President
Fairbanks.
Dolliver awoke In the middle of the
night, and II seemed to him that the
train was going at terrific speed. He
climbed out OF his berth and. arrayed
only in his paJamas, started down the
length OF the train TO find the con-
ductor and ask him to order the train
run at less speed. 1t was II cold night,
hut the senator did not mind that until
the door Of his car snapped shut and
locked behind him and he found that
the door OF the next coach was also
locked. He rode sixty-tve miles locked
out In the cold of the vestibule before
lie could wake up anybody to let him
In. Mr.. Fairbanks finally heard his
cries for help and reseued him.

TAFT, \. W, AND
JUDGE PARKER
Stand up For President
Diaz the Emperor of
Mexico.

New York, Feb. T-President Tafts
brother, Henry W., has taken up the
defense of President Diaz, and the
Mexican government.
In a speech delivered at the Mexi-
can societies dinner to joaquin d.
Casasus, special ambassador from
Diaz to this country, Taft "muck-
ralied' the men who have been
"muck- -raking'' Mexico.
81 hope your country has not been
disturbed over this modern American
muck -raking' Taft said. "It hasn't
done much harm and know it has
not disturbed the Mexican credit. But
do think this society can do a
useful service in trying to counteract
statements that know personally
are inaccurate"
Judge Alton Il. Parker seconded
Tafts sentiments. "It is a pity" he
said, after reviewing the work of
President Dlaz. that a few misguided
men in all the millions OF Mexico
should attempt to undo the great
work that Diaz has wrought"
In his reply, Ambassador Casasus
said: "The official relations between
my country and yours have never
been more friendly than at present"

We're not Joking when they expressed

This Is the way the Conservative
Evening Standard today sizes up the

the Express says:
