Cleveland's police, and you believe it
till you read the Cleveland papers.
Cincinnati people tell you what a
splendid force they have in Detroit,
Detroit tells you about st. Louis, st.
Louis about Toledo. But go from one
city to another and the citizens all say
that the local force is no good; and
so it goes
ION the other hand, they gradually
try to tell you that their fire depart
ment is better than others. They are
proud of their firemen. You never
hear specific charges like graft or in
efficiency brought against fremen
The general current estimate of the
two branches of the service seems to
rank f1remen and policemen on two
entirely different grades of character
or levels of manhood. 1t is something
like light case of race prejudice
Everybody believes in firemen, and nj
one believes much in policemen. Fire
men are taken for granted as brave
and manly, and policemen are always
supposed to bear watching. Yet thu
two branches are recruited from exact
ly the same stock or grade or class o
whatever you have a mind to call it
and they are picked for about tn
same run of qualifications"

BEAVER FINDS AN ADVOCATE
sr't'eh Rancher of Opinion the Little

Gives His Reasons.

terminated. But not go; he ia mans
best friend in regard to the water
question.
Now, am an admirer of the beav.
er; he has not lazy hair on his body.
He works increasingly to shut up what
you have torn out; not only for his
part, but for the rancher that wants
the water. As fast as you can open
their dams every morning all the sum-
msr through, they will close them
again at night But put in q good
dam and hume box with gate, and your
trouble Ia over in . great measure.
They will once in q while shut uy
the box, but not often. Hang up a
piece Of bright tin on q spring hole go
The tin will swash in the water. and
Yoa viii not be bothered much at the
box. Now, II the ranchers left all
these cuts open, which they all do,
your water would all run off in the
winters thaws. So that is where the
beaver comes to their relief. He shuts
them up himself. And then he gets
blamed for doing 1t.
"a beaver Is awful shy when he
nrst sees man. He certainly puts out
for hole in the bank. But you show
mp evenings for about q week or ten
days and Just walk around and pile q
few sticks across their path where
they are hauling down cotton wood or
willows to the lake or pond and they
will come and smell Of the stick and
get the scent Of your hands and your
tracks.
Then they will quit that place and
60 make another. Well, you do the
same at that place and 80 on two OF
three nights and they will get your
scent so that they know 1t means nc
harm 10 them. They will pull all your
sticks out Of the road and keep right
on at work. Now their fear of man IL
all past; they take no more notice Of
your being around than they would
Of horse or COW.
"The beaver is one of the easiest o.
the larger animals to domesticate. Ht
ID fond Of most any kind of roots, but
Of all the wild roots, he likes the bic
pond lily root that grows to enormous
size Some roots are ten to fifteen
feet long, three to four inches in di
ameter They criss cross and grow
together till they are a regular mat
Then what he likes next is the white
carrot, also the red. They are pool
eaters out of a dish; they want to sill
up and brace themselves on that mus
cular tail and take the food in theil
forepaws, or their little hands.

Owing to the effects Of shore lines

account for the peculiarities exhibited
By tidal waves in various parts Of the

Interfering waves cause once-a-day

In the Tay in Scotland there are three

ascribed to overtides, produced by the

TRINITY COLLEGE, DURHAM. N. c..
May s.--The 1913 baseball season at
Trinity college will close tomorrow
afternoon with the big game between
Washington and Lee and the locals.
1t is the last and promises to be the
biggest and best. For number of
years past IL has been the custom with
the local management to bring the
Washington and Lee aggregation here
to Durham to close the season. Ordi-
narily two games have been played,
but only one Is down this year. and
every energy will be bent toward TAX
Ing the Nirginians into camp.
Washington and Lee is said to have
a strong team this season. and to add
to this belief Is the fact that already
they have defeated the Trinity nine by
the score of to on the Northern trip.
The fact. however. that the visitors
have lost so many games, and by such
overwhelming scores. on their invasion
OF Georgia and South Carolina. is a
source of considerable encouragement
to local fandom.
Fitzgerald has been retained to do
the twirling for Trinity, though the
entire pitching STAFF is in fine condi-
ton, and will be ready at n moments
notice to go to his aid in case assist
ance should be needed. The other
members of the team are also in fine
shape, and all in all. the local aggre-
cation is expecting to give the vir-
ginians las much as they can say
grace to-"
