Too late the German general real
lied the unexpected had again hap
pened. He hastened all the corps pos
sible to the northward along the line
Of the Vistula from the center to the
left.
The Russians promptly crossed the
Vistula and deployed in the region
which had been so gallantly held for
this purpose in the neighborhood Of
Kozenitze. They thus were on the
right flank of the forces which had
marched north to save the German
left from being overwhelmed by the
grand dukes unexpected initiative.
At the same time the Russian cav
airy got around to the left flank OF
the German left and closed in from
the left rear. The Germans ares ir
full retreat. The Russians have
crossed the Vistula along the whole
German front and are energetically
pressing the pursuit.

Training Animals.

The psychology Of animals is curl
ously like that of young children. In
terest must be won; 1t cannot be
forced. No appeal, save a direct one
to instinct, is admissible. Penalties
are quite meaningless except as OBJ
stacles IN a particular path, and as
such they must never arouse active
fear. It will be seen therefore that
the opportunities for cruelty are ne
cessariIy limited. Trainers may abuse
their charges, but each time they
do SO they court disaster.

G|enwood Company Penetates the
Oil Sand and is Rewarded by a
Heavy eusher
SUCCESS IS NOW ASSURED

While it has been known for many
years that the country around DeBeque
was underlain with oil and that the
said oil was of good quality
it remained for Glenwood company
to actually demonstrate beyond a ques-
tion that there was both quantity and
quality in the DeBeque zone.
This was made certain when last
Saturday the drillers in the well Of
the Grand River Oil and Gas company,
Glenwood corporation, struck tine
coveted oil sand at depth Of 1907
feet and were rewarded soon after
wards by heavy flow of oil of excel.
lent quality. They continued drilling
until they had penetrated the oil sand
to a depth of 25 feet when the well
assumed the proport 'ons of gusher,
shooting forth oil and salt water AT
regular intervals, the oil coming in
such quantities Is to convince tine
most skeptical that they had encoun-
tered an abundance Of oil.

possible at this time until the pressure
of water has been removed from tire
oil sand to accurately predict the vol
ume Of flow, but he declares that as
soon as the well has been tubed it will
flow oil in commercial quantity with
