SHOWING EARLY ANIMAL LIFE
American Museum Of Natural History
In New York 10 Preparing interest
lnu Exhibition.

In the American Museum Of Ma
tural History, New York city, there
win soon be reconstructed two fossils
Of American animals that once trod
this continent and are regarded as
the most Interesting Of the early
North American animal life. except
ing only the mastodon.
The museum has already received
the complete skeletons of the great
wolf and tbs saber-toothed tiger. The
former Is larger than any wolves that
live today, larger, even. than the giant
timber wolves in the Northwest.
which are believed to be its descend
ants.
The saber-toothed tiger, which was
70 named because of the long fangs
which protruded from the upper jaw.
was q larger animal than any Of the
cat family living today. 1t was al
large a. the bears Of Alaska. which
are the largest living carnivorous anil
mails. The tigers daggerlike tusks
were capable Of penetrating the tough
est hides. Scientists state that one Of
these great creatures could kill an
elephant.
When the skeletons are recon
structed small models showing the
animals as they appeared In life will
be placed beside them.

If the Germans should win out
in the war now going on they
will no doubt be in a spirit to
make it mighty uncomfortable in
the future for your Uncle Sam
uel, because of the partiality
shown by the Wilson administra-
tion toward the allies. We don t
see why it was incumbent on
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan to
show any particular friendship
towards either side in thin strife.
The probabilities are that Ger
many must be beaten in the long
run. but this is not yet assured,
and should she come out victor,
we may expect to see her decid-
edly troublesome about the Mon
roe doctrine, in retaliation of the
unfriendliness of the government
at Washington.
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1914-12-23

The St. Louis Republic of the
14th inst. had a long article to
the effect that in Missouri, Ark
ansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana
at least $4,000 men h: We been let
out of work in the railroad tie,
and saw mill industries. Of
course, the Republic does not
attribute this state of affairs as
having any connection with the
economic policy of the present
Democratic administration, but
presents it as a plea for the rails.
ing of railroad freight and pas
seuger ratas. There is, how
ever, more affecting the railroads
of the county o-day than the ar.
bitrary regulation of their SER
vice rates by law. Their incomes
have been more reduced by the
general decline of traffic since
the Democratic party has resum.
ed sway in Washington than by
the rate laws. The rate laws
were in effect under both the
Roosevelt and Taft administra.
tions, but we do not recall any
general clamor on part of the
railroads in those years for a
raise of rates to enable them to
do business at all. What the
railroads are suffeaing from is
what is ailing the country gen
erally-hard times resulting
from a change of economical pol.
10y at Washington.

Colonel Goetnals will put him.
self in bad with the administra-
tion if he is not more careful in
his official conduct. In his de-
mand for warships to enforce the
neutrality o. the Canal Zone he
seems to have conceived the idea
that that the word neutrality
really meant what it meant. Had
he said, Il want warsbips, the
Germans are breaking the neu-
trality laws here,' the ships
would now be on the way, but he
seems to have had the idea that
the British and Japs, who were
the real offenders, should be call
ed to time. All the satisfaction
he got was a demand for more
information"

More and more insistent be-

More and more insistent be-
comes the demand of the unem-
ployed that the governments
tional, state and municipal give
them work to enable them to live
as honest men. This is problem
that must find its solution in the
state entering the fields of in
dustry heretofore occupied by
private employers Of labor. Nine
out of every ten of the men BOW
idle want work in preference to
charity. Their manhood re',el>
at any offer of a dole ts~ln
charity to keep them alive, while
they are ready to work for a liv-
ing. Let the state take hold of
this problem and find its proper
solution, for 1t is clear enough
that private capitalism cannot
cope with it.

A Boys Composition on Ducks.

Ducks is a low, heavy,set bird
composed mostly of feathers.
His head is set on one end and be
sets on the other. Ducks can't
sing on account of the dampness
in the moisture. He carries a
toy balloon in his stomach to
keep him from sinking. The
duck has only two legs and they
are set so far back on his run
ming gear that they almost miss
his body. Some ducks is called
brakes and have curls on their
tails. brakes don't have to set
or hatch, but just loaf and go
swimming and eat. If l were a
duck I'd rather be a drake every
time. Ducks does not give milk

A Steady Office Holder.

North Carolina has recently
presented a record of steadiness
in Office holding which is ealcu.
lated to make the professional
politicians of this section turn
green with envy. When John
Laws was first elected to the

Orange County of that State,
Zachary Taylor was President

elected 32 times and has held
the Office during the Civil War
Reconstruction and so on, for 50
years, from 1850 to 1914.
