THE GNU Is A PUZZLE.
II Seems to Be a Cross Between thu
Horse, Cow and Deer.

Horse, Cow and Deer.
Did you ever hear of horned horse?
1t is called the gnu and is a native of
South Africa. The gnu is a puzzle.
We have called 1t horse, but it is
more like COW. 1t really seems to be
q cross between the horse. the COW and
the deer. 1t has the head and horns
of COW, the tail, the name and with
ers of the horse and the legs of deer.
Altogether the gnu is one of the most
singular creatures on earth.
The gnu inhabits the hilly districts
of South Africa, roaming all over the
country in vast herds. As far as trav-
elers have yet penetrated it is found,
and 1t is fortunate that it is so, for the
flesh of the gnu forms excellent food.
Gnus are. however. extremely wild
and. being very quick in their move
ments. are difficult to shoot. Upon the
first alarm the whole herd scampers
away in single file. following a leader.
When seen from a distance they look
like troop of horses.
Their speed is very great, and when
first disturbed they do not exert il, but
kick out their heels and begin butting
at anything that comes In their way.

hard pressed they seldom show fight,
but when brought to bay they will de-

Juduino the Colt.

The Arabs have two methods of esti-
mating the height to which a colt will
grow. the first being to stretch a cord
from the nostril over the ears and
down along the neck and compare this
measurement with that from the with
ers to the feet and the other method
being to compare the distance between
the knee and the withers with that
from the knee to the coronet. In the
first method it Is considered that a
colt will. grow as much taller as the
first measurement exceeds that of the
second, and in the second method. If
the proportion is as two to one, the
horse will grow no taller.

ROW IN HOUSE.



WASHINGTON, July 26.-Represen-
tative Humphrey, of Washington, to-
day in the House made bitter assault
upon Representative Norris of Nebras-
ka, for refusing to name men in high
nished information, showing that Pres
ident Taft had been fraudulently sup
ported by majority of the delegates
of the state of Washington at the Chi
cago convention. Likening Mr.. Norris
comment to the method of the black
mailer and the poisoner of domestic
peace, Rep. Humphrey declared he
was using a method held in contempt
by all decent men.
Il listened to the statement of the
gentleman from Nebraska" said Mr..
Humphrey" and waited for him to
give the name of the gentleman who
was his informant When l asked who
the gentleman was he stated that the
gentleman was a supporter of Presi-
dent Taft and a candidate for Office
on the Republican ticket.
mo one would suspect the gentle
man from Nebraska had ever served
on the bench after hearing him enter
such monstrous evidence as this. Sup
pose l should rise in my place in the
House and name some fellow member
and then declare l had been told by
man of national reputation who had
investigated the record of the member,
he was satisfied such member was a
scoundrel and a criminal Suppose
when the name was demanded of me,
l should refuse to give it because the
man whom l quoted was a friend of
the member and a candidate for office.
What monstrous proposition it is.
Is it any less monstrOus or any less
dastardly to utter such statements
about a large number of reputable
citizens and to assassinate the repu-
tation of a great political party?
This is the method of the anony-
nous letter writer held in scorn and
contempt by all decent men. This is
the method of the blackmailer, the
most cruel and cowardly of criminals
to extort blood money from his help
less victims while shielding himself
This is the method of the bitterest
poisoner of domestic peace in his
neighbor's family. This is the method
of the lowest and slimiest of all Great
ures, the vile monster that by anony-
nous whispers assassinates the repu-
tation of virtuOus women.
"The gentleman from Nebraska dis
credits his own methods and impeach-
es this high-minded, far-famed and
nameless witness of his. He informs
us this great good man whose name
We do not know believed the dele
gates from the state of Washington
were stolen. In spite of this fact,
the anonymous paragon of honor is
supporting Taft, knowing that his
nomination is stolen"

leading article The Achievements of
Dogs" being a resume of incidents.

There could be no mistake about it, it
was a fox. They felt at the animal.
He was dead, but still warm. A wound

the fox. Can we risk that?" asked
