How Animals Feed.

The squirrel carries its food to it's
mouth by means of it's paws. while the
elephant uses it's trunk. The giraffe.
ant eater and toad employ their
tongues, but spiders masticate their
food with horny jaws. The caterpil-
lar is provided with saw edged jaws
and uses them so well that every day
he consumes at least three times his
own weight in food. Toads. turtles and
tortoises do not possess teeth. Frogs
have only an upper row of teeth, and
Holsters and crabs have set of teeth
in their stomachs The tiger and liou
do not grind their food as we humans
do AS matter of fact. their teeth
only work with an up and down move
ment much like chopping knives.

KNUTsON SUICIDED
Hung Himself in the County
Jail Last Sunday.

Cano Knutson, who was serving a
80 day sentence in the county Jail for
drunk kenness, hung himself about noon
last Sunday.
He used small piece of clothesline
which was tied on the outside of the
cell for the purpose of hanging up a
towel.
Knutson was about 40 years of age
and leaves besides his aged parents
who reside in Pope county, several re-
latives in Hancock. He has been ar
rested for drunkenness in Morris sew
eral times. once paying fine and an
other time serving ten days sentence.
He was committed this time on
Feb. Oath.
Last Sunday, he asked Sheriff Zahl
for some paper to write some letters,
and was last seen alive about II 80.
when Sheriff Zahl asked him if the
letters were ready. He was then writ
ing, and he told the sheriff that they
were not finished but there was no
hurry about them.
About one O'Clock or shortly after
he was found dead by the sheriff.
DR.. Caine was Immediately summoned
and did what he could to restore the
man, but without success. Relatives
at Hancock were notified, and on
Monday, the body was taken to Han
cock for burial Much sympathy is
expressed for the parents and family
in their sorrow.
Knutson left two letters, one ad-
dressed to his sister at Hancock and
another to Sheriff Zahl. He places
the blame for his rash deed upon the
marshal at Hancock. which of course
is unfounded. In fact, no blame is
attached to any of the officials con-
nected with the case. The letter. ad-
dressed 20 Sheriff Zahl follows -.

GROW INTO DAIRYING
Best Breeders Are Those Who
Study Their Business.

w. F. Shilling, the we'll known
Holstein breeder of Mortified was in
Morris recently, and in talking with
several persons here interested in
Holstein breeding, gave many valu-
able suggestions. He put forth a
great deal of good advise in the
course of short interview. and those
with whom be talked were anxious
that all should have the benefit of the
suggestions.
Mr.. Shilling said:-
The business of dairying is occupy
ing the attention of thousands of
farmers in the state at the present
time who formerly gave it no serious
consideration. The reason for this
is very easy to see and the good work
should go on not as a boom but in a
conservative manner. want to say
at the outset that the most successful
bankers Of today are those who at one
time manipulated the broom and
sprink ling can and the most success
full merchants are those who began
their duties as clerks. In all lines
those who have given attention tc
details and studied their business have
made the most from them. So it is
with the work of breeding dairy cattle.
The men who will attain the greatest
success are not those who go into the
business, but those who grow into the
business. want to make this point
very clear and warn those who think
that anyone can be dairyman simply
because has has enough money to pur
chase COW. The dairy business il
nice business and is really the
foundation of intensive agriculture
which must soon occupy the American
stage in the West if we wish to max,
the most from our farms. do no
mean by this that we must abandon
grain raising but I do want to maxi
clear that more dairy cows will meal
less acres in small grain and NOR
forage crops and this will. with
scientific system of crop rotation meal
more bushels Of wheat and all orhe
grains per acre. The day has passes
wheuzthe one crop system will be
money maker for US and we must re
sort TO something more permanent
/ something more substantial. Wit
the introduction of dairying in an
country in the past it has meant NOR
Intensive system of tillage and a high
er type Of farmers and citizenship
This is universally true as dairyin
is an all-year job and teaches industr
and thrift.
I The surest way to begin dairyin
is by the purchasing of a pure bre
sire of the breed you prefer. Thi
should be done with care as anythin
that is black and white, if it is tn
Holstein you want, is not destined t
become the sire of great performers
yet the average of good cows in thi
breed is fully ahead of any othe
known dairy breed if we are to judg
from performance records. Get sir
from tested COW if it is possible
for you are then more apt to get goo

MAIL BAG LOST 300 YEARS
Curious Discovery Is Made in the
Old Postoffice at Frankfort.
on-Main.

very curious discovery which
throws some interesting side lights
on the life OF sixteenth century Eu-
rope was made some years ago when
the contents of the old postoffice at
Frankfort on-Main were transferred TO
the new premises. A complete mail
bag full OF letters and apparently Of
ficially sealed was discovered hidden
among the rafters of the old post
once, where II had lain forgotten for
over 900 years.
The bag was at first deposited IN
tact among the state archives, but
II has recently been handed over to
the Imperial Postal museum. where
the curator, DR.. Sautter, has been oc-
cupied in examining the contents. DR..
Sautter has published the results OF
his examination in the Imperial Post
and Telegraph Archives"
The mail comprised It's packages
containing in all 272 letters; in some
instances several different letters
were inclosed in one package, either
for the sake OF economy or In the
hope OF greater security.
Most of the letters were addressed
to persons residing in Aix-la-Chapelle.
Cologne and Antwerp, besides a num-
Der intended to reach officers and
soldiers OF the Spanish army then
operating in the Netherlands.
One can but vainly speculate upon
the disappointments. quarrels and
losses that may have resulted from
the miscarriage of all these messages.
They were no doubt serious, for in
those days letter writing was too
costly and troublesome to be under
taken without real need. Dr. Sautter
has classified the letters and pub
lished a selection of those that con-
tain items OF general interest
The "aviso" or dispatch note found
in the bag is written in Italian,
though signed by the Spanish post
master at Milan. 1t is dated May 49,
1885, and consigns the mail to the
imperial postmaster then resident in
Cologne. The letters themselves are
dated from various towns in northern
Italy.
1t is impossible now to say how
these letters came to be deposited In
the roof of the Frankfort postotfice
though there can be little doubt that
II was the result OF some mail robbery
which was no uncommon event a.
that period. The peculiar fact re
mains. however, that the thieves Sc
lected a postoffice for the concealmen
of their haul.

A Kansan,s Method of punning.

A young merchant in Smith Center
has found way to make slow-paying
customers dig up. For long time he
sent out monthly duns urging prompt
settlement, but little if any attention
was paid to them. Getting impatient,
he sent an enlarged bill to an old lady
who had been owing him three or four
months, and the effect was almost
magical. She came in snorting mad the
next day with the bill in her hand and
the way she went after the young man
for trying to swindle her brought the
bushes to his cheeks
He finally made her believe the error
was unintentional, and she settled on
the spot for what she owed. Since then
the young man sends out bills of about
twice their proper size to slow payers
and he says it brings them in every
time, and invariably mad all over al
his attempt to cheat them. He says
you can even make a dead beat wrath
full by dunning him for a larger
amount than he owes.
