THE DEMOCRACY OF DEATH

John j. Ingalls,, one of the most
brilliant men Kansas ever contribut-
ed to public life and for years one
of the most influential members of
the United States senate, was the
author of many beautiful sentiments.
From one OF his addresses, delivered
years ago, the following is taken:
In the democracy of the dead, all
men at last are equal There is
neither rank nor station nor preroga-
tive in the republic of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song of
the poet is silent. Dives relinquish-
es his millions, and Lazarus his rags.
The poor man is as rich as the rich
est, and the rich man as poor as a
pauper The creditor loses his usury
and the debtor is acquitted of his
obligation. There the proud man sur
renders his dignities, the politician
his honors, the wording his pleas
ures; the invalid needs no physician,
ed toll.
Here at lest is natures final de-
cree in equity. The wrongs of time
are redressed, injustice is expiated
the irony of fate is refuted, the I'M
equal distribution of wealth, honor,
capacity, pleasure and opportunity
which make life so cruel and mex
plicable ceases in the realm of death.
The strongest there has no suprem-
acy, and the weakest needs no de-
fense. The mightiest captain sue
cumbs 70 that invincible adversary,
who disarms alike the victor and the
vanquished

will instantly agree that he is right
whatever form his suggestions may
take. 1t seems that he knows Of q
school teacher who wrought wonders
in the blue grass region OF Kentucky
by teaching school children how to be
clean and their parents how to cook

Exclusive Oxford.

The ignorance of the scholar con-
cerning what Is going on in the world
around him is proverbial. But story
of Thackeray's OWN telling points to
surprising possibilities of the cloister-
ed life at Oxford, at least in the last
century.
Thackeray, 1t seems, was to lecture
at Oxford. and. according to custom,
had first to get the vice-chancellor's
license to do SO. This is the CONVEX
sation that occurred, as the novelist
reported it:
Vice-Chancellor-Pray, sir, what can
do for you?
Thackeray-My name is Thackeray.
Vice-Chancellor-So / see by this
card.
Thackeray-I seek permission to lee.
ture within your precincts.
Vice-Chancellor-Ah! You are a lee
turer. What subjects do you UNDER
take, religious or political?
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. am a lit
erary man.
Vice-Chancellor-Have you written
anything?
Thackeray-Yes, am the author Of
''Vanity Fair"
Vice CHANCELLOR presume a dis
senter. Has that anything to do with
John Bunyan's book?
Thackeray-Note exactly. have also
written "Pendennis."
Observation-Disclosures heard Of
these works. But no doubt they are
proper books.
Thackeray-I have also contributed
to Punch.
Northumberland? have
heard of that. Is 1t not humorous
blication?-London Tit-Bits.

Claude L. Street, former state oil
inspector, has sold his paper, the
Arapahoe Republican, to Sheriff w.
j. McBroom and associates. In last
weeks issue CT the paper, the col
umn rules were turned, leading the
reader to the belief that it was i'm
mourning and at first glance we all
thought that our friend Street had
"cashed in his checks. The Arapa-
hoe Republican will continue as a
Democratic weekly under the new
ownership. Mr.. Street announces that
he will leave shortly for Florida, at

watered as l thought of the great
rashel of nam l would prepare for
my evening meal. Judge of my sur

only flour, oatmeal and a sack of
sugar in the cabin, and that these

your face again, and you can laugh
if you want to, but it did not seem
funny to me, and it was rather a
peeved man that turned into one oi

beverage, and with a vacuum in my
stomach that seemed to me to be

basement of the cabin there were
stored all kinds of provisions. and

office and kicking myself. feel

HAD RIGHT TO BE PRESENT
Critic Of Proposed Tariff Clause TelIs
Rather Good Story to lIius-
trato q Point.

II A. L. Hamilton, the leading milli-
merry expert of America, complained in
New York about the tariff clause pro-
hibiting the importation for millinery
uses. of all wild bird feathers save
the ostrich's.
Mr.. Hamilton pointed out that many
game birds are killed for sport and
food, and that many other birds are
killed because they are pests, and he
asked why the Audubon societies
would have the feathers of all these
birds wasted.
II represent the birds. Mr.. Hamil-
ton," said an Audubon devotee. II
speak for the birds. Whom do you
represent. and what right have you to
speak?"
II represent the millinery trade
Mr.. Hamilton answered. II speak for
thousands who will be thrown out of
work If this foolish clause goes into
effect. AS to my right to speak-well,
think I'm rather in the position of
the department store proprietor.
"a department store proprietor in
augurated in the basement ten-cent
three-course luncheon for his workers.
He thought one day he'd try the
luncheon himself, and accordingly he
hoped up on to peg and called for
the soup. But the waiter, not know
ing him, said:
"'Oh, no, mister! You amt in on
this. You don't belong to this store
I'm quite aware of that the pro
prietor answered, the store belongs

ODD TYPE OF MEMORY
BIRDS AND ANIMALS SEEM LACK
ING IN DIRECT SENSE.
Difference In This Respect Between
Man and the Lower Creation 10
Misunderstanding Cases Un-
der Observation.

Let us suppose that man, in the
full possession of all his senses, is ae
customed to find his favorite chair
placed in a certain spot, near win
dow, and suppose that on one occasion
the chair Is taken away. 1t would be
very odd indeed II the man came into
the room in broad daylight, and made
repeated and obstinate efforts to sit
down in the empty space where the
chair usually stood. For our memory
is chiefly a memory Of things that
we see, rather than a memory Of our
own movements. But many animals
have the odd type of memory that the
man would display If he insisted on
going through his habitual movements
in the absence of the chair.
Professor Watson of Johns Hopkins
university has for several summers
studied the habits of the sea birds
that nest on the Tertugas islands.
Among other experiments he raised
or lowered their nests, which are
built near the ground, while the bird
was away. The returning bird would
always hover about and attempt to
alight in the empty air at the former
height Of the nest.
When honey bees are carried q
long distance from their hives and
are set free. they first fly far up into
the air, rs If to look for a familiar
landmark. Then they drop back, and
have been observed to hover in the
air at exactly the height of the en-
trance to their home hive.
A still more striking case Of this
kind has been observed in a chip
munk by r. B. Rockwell, who des-
cribes 1t in the Journal of Animal
Behavior. The little creature had
made her nest in a mattress on a
spring cot. The young were discov-
cred. mistaken for mice and destroy
ed. The cot was removed altogether
The mother. returning, ran to the
spot where she had been accustomed
to climb up the frame of the cot to
her nest.
Here she stood on her hind legs
and paved the air frantically in the
effort to find the missing frames.
Several times she jumped high into
the air from this position, and find
ing no frame to catch, fell backward
Another observer reports that a
bat. whose actions he was studying.
was accustomed on entering its cave
to fly up to piece of white cloth
that hung on the opposite wall. The
cage was turned completely round.
SO that the door through which the
bat entered was on the opposite side.
The piece of cloth was still attached
to the wall. but, although it was in
plain sight. the bat flew to the posi-
tion In space. now over the door, that
the cloth had occupied when the cage
was In its former position. Such
memory of place in and for itself,
quite apart from the objects that are
to be seen there. is almost unknown
to human beings. Evidently these
animals do not depend upon the
sense of sight completely as we do
