EIGHTH WONDER IS
 FOUND IN WEST

In the March American Magazine there is an interes ing account of Dr. s. M Babcock, an extraordinary scientist connected with the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, who believes that the results of his investigations be- long to all people. After inventing the Babcock milk test, which is used by dairymen all over the world, he declined to patent it and to reap fortune from it, which would have amounted, without doubt to millions of dollars. Following is an extract:
 He invented in 1890 the famous milk test which bears his name-a discovery which marks him eminent in every land where modern dairy ing is known.
 "'COmes now the key to his char er-humanitarianism Greed and sordidness cannot sully him. He claimed that his services belonged to the state. So he refused to take out a patent; gave it free to the farmers of the world Meantime De Laval, of Denmark, patented the cream separator a no more import ant invention, and has become a multimillionaire. What a colossal fortune Dr. Babcock put aside. Be- fore this invention, milk poor milk, watered milk and rich milk was sold by measure at a uniform price, The highbrow' milker is be- coming supreme. Also the Babcock test has made the improvement of dairy machinery possible, eliminating previous wastes and losses, when ratios are based on the dairy in

WHEN YOUR DOG JUMPS UP.

There is nothing much more an moving than to have a dog get up on his hind legs and plant a pair of dirty front paws on your store clothes. In no case should the dog be blamed for thus giving vent to his exuberance of spirit or display of affection, call il whichever you pre- fer. The man who owns the dog is to blame for his inexcusable hab- its. It is simple and painless task to cure the jump-up habit, and il can be remedied at any age.
 When the dog jumps up. take hold CT his fore paws, and, while talk ing to him in a friendly way, walk on his toes. As often as he moves them out of the way, step on them again. Don't give the dog any sign that the act is intentional. When he finds his toes continually in the way he will jump down; pat him and let him go on his way. The next time he gets the rising tend ency, repeat the toe-stepping per formance. After few doses of this seemingly accidental turkey trot ting you will find that when he for getfully jumps up, he remembering ly Hops right down again. The next display of ''buoyancy" ends in mid air, the idea" reaches him be fore he reaches you.
 It isn't likely from now on that endeavor to caress you with his dirty feet will recur, but should he again forget himself, one more bit of foot work will permanently cure him. l have broken strange dog of the jumping habit in one day, and he didn't go lame, either.

 When the girl saw the moose she smiled real prettily at him and in gratiatingly held out a piece of candy for his inspection The animal gave glance Of disdain at the candy and then deliberately sneezed in the young wCman's face
 When the moose climates from his system really earnest sneeze there is usually some atmospheric agi- tatlon in the immediate vicinity. There was in this case. The pretty young woman's hat blew off. there was a rain of hairpins and her hair and it was her hair. too. or else it would have followed the hat came down.
 The young woman pinned up her hair, put on her hat, and then turned to the man at her side: Fred dear she said, without a flicker of a smile, now l know why you are usually so mussed up when you come home late from a meeting Cf that Elk or Moose lodge you belong 10. don't blame you bit."-San Francisco Chronicle.

Why the Cuckoo Builds No Nest.

A Danish legend about the cuckoo is very curious. It relates that when in the early spring time it's voice is first heard in the woods every village girl kisses her hand and asks the question, Cuckoo, Cuckoo. when shall be married?" And the old people, borne down with age and rheumatism. ask, Cuckoo cuckoo, when shall l be released from this worlds cares?" The bird in reply continues to sing, Cuckoo" And as many times as he sings they count one year to the fulfilment of their desires.
 It is said that the poor bird has so many questions put to her that before she realizes it the building season has gone by and she is forced to put her eggs into the hedge sparrow's nest-Lcndon Globe.

Rose, as the evidence shows, cher

He conniyed at the murder and when

meeting some one higher up. The
public mind had been infiamed-hys-

the district attorney did not waDt

opportunity and the framing up or
Becker there started"
The decision OF Justice Goff to per-
mi, the jury in the Becker case to get
good nights sleep tonight before
listening To his charge and retir-
ing to deliberate on their verdict,
was a subject OF general COM
mont today. II was generally agreed
that this action would likely re-

opinion regarding the outcome about

pend on Justice COTS charge, It was
agreed. He will have 20 explain to
the jury exactly how much credence
may be given to the stories Of Sam

probably mean Becker's acquittal,
while should he rule that Schepps'
story can be accepted as che indepen-
l dent corroboration made necessary
by the code for the confirmation OF
tho story OF confessed consplrators
against their co-conspirators, II will
