YOUNG Beavers DAYS WORK
Record Made by One Of the Animals

work upon tree II feet long and 2
feet 6 inches thick Just as the town
clocks sounded the hour of noon. The
beaver began by barking the tree a
foot above the ground.
That done he attacked the wood
He worked hard. alternating his labor
with dips In his bathing pond. He
bathed and labored alternately until
4 o'clock In the afternoon, when he
ate his supper OF bread and carrots
and padded about In his pond until
half-past o'clock.
Ten minutes late, when only one
inch Of the trees diameter remained
intact, he bore upon his work and the
tree fell. Before 1t fell the beaver
ran as men run when they have fired
blast. Then as the tree lay on the
ground he portioned It out mentally
and again began to gnaw.
He worked at intervals al! night.
cut the log into three parts. rolled
two OF the portions into the water
and reserved the other third for his
permanent shelter. The work done.
he took bath.-IIarper's Weekly.

NOT A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

The Greensboro Telegram says
that the Democrats won a sweeping
victory in Baltimore last week.
AS a matter OF fact. the victory
won In the Democratic primary may
mean Democratic defeat at the next
city election. The reform candidate
for mayor was defeated and the can
didate whom it is said represents
the gamblers, the blind tigers and
the law-breakers in general was
nominated in the Democratic primary
notwithstanding that every paper in
that city fought his nomination and
declared him unfit. Now how can
these papers turn around and sup
port such a man in the city election?
The Republicans have ex-Mayor tt
manus as their candidate. He is said
to be a clean man with a good record
behind him. Unless the self-respect-
ing element in the Democratic party
smother their conscience they can
can help voting for the Republican
nominee-and whether they do or
not, he stands good chance for
election.

will elect a national committeeman
