AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW,
NATURAL HISTORY.
By WALT MASON.

"Our village marshal arrested three
tramps single handed this morning." said
the assessor. He certainly is as brave
as lion.''
II wonder how brave a hon is?'' OBJ
served the village patriarch. II have
read a good many books about animals,
and the historians disagree as to the
character Of the lion. Some say he's as
brave as Bat Nelson, and others insist
that he's Hackenschmidt in disguise. l
believe the lion is a big buffer and moth
ing more. He has six cylinder lungs and
can roar louder than campaign orator,
and he throws such a scare into trav-
elers that they sit down and write in
their notebooks a lot of stuff to the
effect that he is holy terror.
II have been fooled so often. by the
natural history books that 1 refuse to
take any stock In the lion. That brute
has enjoyed his reputation for ironclad
courage so long that men feel greatly
swelled UP when people compare them
to lions, but I shouldn't be surprised to
learn that an able-bodied jackrabbit can
chase lion over the landscape.
Call man a lion and his chest meas
urement increases four inches right away,
but refer to him as a hyena and he will

bat you over the h. i'd with 1t. Why this
prejudice against the hyena? It comes
from the books again. You ask the first
man You meet what grudge he has
against the hyena, and he will say that
it's a loathsome, cowardly beast. But
pin him down to tacks and he can't fur
nish any of the blue brints.
I'm perfectly satisfied in my own mind
that the hyena is a far more desirable
creature than the lion. He can't put up
such roar and he doesn't look as we'll
in a cabinet photograph, but 1 have no
doubt that he has been grossly maligned,
bounded down by a yellow press, as it
were. Some conscientious naturalist
should go and live among the hyenas for
a. few years, study their eccentrictties and
write the truth about them.
THE stories about animals are almost
as unreliable rs the stories about men.
The school books used to be full of yarns
about the Arabian steed, which was pic
tured as the finest creature that ever

lein laws of the state and their relation
to the business Of the blacksmith was
taken up at length as was also the liza
bility feature of legislation.
A special effort will be made by this
organization to have a law passed ut
the next session of the legislature re-
quiring rigid examination for all who
wish to enter the horseshoing work in
the state. The law which will be
drawn will be similar to that of the
state of Minnesota which requires n
certain amount of experience as an ap-
prentice and enough knowledge Of the
art to insure proper work. In the
discussion of this topic it was brought
out that as this branch of the black
smith IS work is most important of all,
as it is an easy matter to shoe horse
triflc wrong so the animal will be
crippled for life, or do a scientific job
and eliminate any disorder that might
be.
In pcr1ectlnS law OF TINS nature,
as they claim, it will do away with any
uncertainty in the work on animals
and insure patrons proper work. They
expect to make systematic effort on
this clause of their proposed legisla-
ton and should receive all the en-
couragement that can be obtained.
The meeting this morning was ad-
dressed chiefly by A. Fl. McPhail of
Fargo, G. W. Buyers of Bottineau, W.
F. Richards of Garrison and j. W. Hull,

SCOTTISH MooRs IN DEMAND.
Wealthy Americans Turn Back to
Famous Highlands for
Good Shooting. :.

Edinburgh, Feb. s.-Proprietors Of
moors in the Highlands Of Scotland arc
jubilant. So good was tho shooting
last year that sportsmen are complet
ing among themselves for grouse moors
and deer forests. What adds to the
struggle is the desire of American shots
to have the opportunity Of totalling big
bags. In fact, Americans, after having
forsaken Scotland for the continent for
q season or two, have returned to the
heather. Consequently factors Of The
great Highland estates are having
busy time at present. -
Howard Gould, of New York, has
been early in the field and has annexed
for next season no less than four moors.
Three are rented from the Marquis Of
Tullibardine, Dunkeld, strathford and
Edradous, and one, Kindrogan, from
Frank Balfour. Gould will have that
fine mansion, Dunkel Housa, as shoot
ing lodge. 1t is delightful district
of Perthshire, the Highlands and the
Lowlands meet there. The Athol fam
lily owns everything for many miles,
and the little and most picturesque ant
cient township of Dunkeld is govern
ed by baron-baillie who is appointed
by the Duke of Athol.
George J. Gould has rented for five
years the Menzies shooting of Appin
and Lorne. These are in the neigh
boring country of Argyleshire and are
splendid moors, where grouse is plenti-
full and a goodly rag of b]ackcocK and
other game can he easily compiled
Very historic is Appin. Thn QUART
Highland village is on the shore Of Loch
Linnhe and about dozen miles from
that famous ya"htin, centre Oban. A
ruined castle on d little islet was CEN
turies ago the fo:;rcss Of the stcwarts
of Appin. Mea*ies ('as'.'s is retained
meantime by iady Menzics, the PRO
prietress, to whom it was left, along
with all the extensive Nenzies estates
by the late Sir Neil Manzi'!s, chieftain
of that clan. La ly Menz;cs, formerly
was the Countess Of Stair.
There is every prospect that several
other famous moors will be taken u!
| by we'll known Americans.
