BEAVERS CONVERT
STREAM into LAKE

Following the example set by his
lllustrious relative in discovering an
unknown river in the wilderness Of
South America, c. f. Roosevelt Of
this city returns from the wilds Of
the Blue mountains about Meacham
with a tale of the venversion of two
little mountain streams into lake
by colony of beavers.
Last year he and Teddy Hausworth
went into the mountains and found
these two springs purling their crys-
tai waters from the slopes above the
east fork of the Umatilla. They re-
turned last week In search Of veni-
son and, desiring a camping spot
where fresh water was to be had,
searched for the springs. Great was
their surprise to find a lake cover
ing several acres and half submerg-
ing a heavy thicket Of trees.
The industrious water animals had
done their work well, according to
Mr. Roosevelt, having gnawed the
trunks Of large trees into convenient
! lengths and placed them together as
neatly and as firmly as any man
could. They had done, also what no
man can do, he states, carried timbers
under the water and fixed them in
| place.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Tan-
go is his name, and he belongs to vi
Wan Lyons, who has caused more
than one crowd to stand and wonder.
But neither of those facts was re-
sponsible for the crowd which block
ed Market street at Suffer yesterday
morning and made commuters lose
their tempers because the cars were
stopped and the sidewalks were
choked except when the traffic po-
liceman opened way.
Tango went on an excursion from
dog and bird store where Tango Is
boarding Tango is neither dog nor
a bird, so without giving notice he
left his cage at the rear of the store
and sailed forth for a before-break-
| fast lark
He had it Clambering up an cleo
trio wire which was in the light vel
of the building, Tango went through
all of the steps which he had learned
! in the Philippine forests before Rob
ert Widney bought him for Miss Ly-
ons.
He dipped and glided, hesitated and
scurried along the window ledges and
across roofs until the janitor of the
store called for help in landing him.
But that was the life for Tango,
who had no idea of being Gagged again
very soon. So for an hour or two
after ! O'Clock the monkey strolled
over roofs and dropped down light
wells whenever pursuit was in prog
ress.
Finally he disappeared and the Gus
todian Of the monkey decided to
count Togo among the business loss
/ es
Then came a telephone call from
( the Underwood building, block
away. asking if Robson had lost a
monkey.
Hes up on the top OF the flagpole
On the building" n voice over the
wire said.
/ And the chase was on again. In
the meantime Market street began to
/ look like the sidewalk in front of the
I Examiner war bulletin window. Cars
stopped and pedestrians blocked the
/ sidewalks all intent on the capture OF
/ Tango. \ traffic policeman mopped
his forehead as he strove to keep ar
open space for commuters who were
! hurrying to work.
The janitor and five assistants went
to the roof. Tango had premoni
/ ton that all was not well, so HI
swunung TO a fire escape.
But the general-in-chief had fore
seen that move and on every landins

The monkey reflected a momen
and decided that it was too far L

The janitor held out handful o
peanuts.

CITY Refugees Arc in Need

BERLIN, Aug. 13.-James w. Ge-
rard, American ambassador to Ger
many, cabled an appeal to the Brit
ish public to send funds for the relief
of the great number of British sub
jects-English, Canadian. Irish and
others-left in my charge"
MANY of the refugees" the ambas-
sador said, ARE young girls without
friends or relations, and with only
enough money to keep themselves for
very short time. The temper OF
the people may make 1t hard for
these poor people to find lodging in
Berlin. even IL they have funds. Many
already have been arrested as spies"
MIR. Gerard added that Sir Edward
Goschen, the British ambassador, had
asked him to advance British subject,
money up to the amount OF $4,000
on the credit of the British govern
mcnt
But where am l to get the cash -

imbued with principles of scientific
farming, as well as with the hope some
day to become landowner of consid-
cradle magnitude-a thing not at all
impossible-and few hope this year
failed to make every acre pay.
Considerable apprehension exists
that the supply Of harvest and thresh-
ing help will not be sufficient to meet
demands The usual influx Of thous-
ands of men is smaller this year, prob
ably due to alleged untrue statements
previously made. The lack of a crop
in Canada is hoewver considered en-
/ courae ng so far as the supply of har-

GERMANY MUST EXPAND

at once upon the three great powers
of Great Britain, France and Russia.
is an explanation strikingly support
ed in work entitled Pan German
ISM" which was published year ago
by DR.. Roland G. Usher, professor of
history at Washington University. ;,
Because of over population and
over-production of manufacturers as
serts the author, the German empire
must either achieve territorial expan-
sion or perish in national ruin and
bankruptcy.
Germany, he says, "is seeking the
counterpart of the fertile plains of
western Canada or the rich valleys of
North Africa, where her people may
build new Germany whose existence

'ais. But such promised land ten
ahted only by native races is not 70
De found. Every available snot g
held by England. France or Russia
Germany can, therefore. obtain colo.
MES suitable for her purpose only at
the expense of these last.
This is what is meant by the oft
reiterated statements that England.
France and Russia are by their very
existence inimical to Germany's well
fare, and that, if she is to escape ruin
she must fight them.
1.-The
own colonies she knows to be we'll

ports from England to English colo
nies she knows to total several hun
dred millions of dollars Such mar
ket she is determined to have. cost
what it may"
Discussing the economic forces
driving Germany to choose between
an aggressive war of conquest and
national death. Prof. Usher writes:
The population has increased 50
rapidly that it is already difficult for
efficient well-trained men to secure
any employment. Not only is the su-
Terficial area OF the country suitable
for cultivation practically exhausted
but intensive scientific agriculture IS
speedily limiting the possibilities OF
the employment of more hands on
the same acres or the further increasa
of the products
Industry has grown at a stupen-
dous rate and the output from Ger
man factories is enormously in ex-
I cess of the needs Of even the grow
ing population. Unless some outlet
can be found for the surplus popula-
tion and a new and extensive market
! discovered for this enormous surplus
production prosperity will inevitably
! be succeeded by bankruptcy.
To ask a German, therefore, whether
the expansion of Germany is desir.
able is merely to ask him whether h,
! believes it is desirable from any poin
| of view for the German nation to sur
J vive."

ONE-HALF BOTTLE OF THE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY

When sent for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, I was in great distress day and night. Before I received sample by mail, I went to our best doctor (and he is second to none in this vicinityl and told him how I felt He put me up a bottle of medicine, but was no better than when I began. then began your sample bottle. and before I got through with it, I felt a change. The scalding sensation did not bother only a few times in the middle of the day. would not have believed such small quantity would have done so much, but before 1t was gone I learned that our druggist kept Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and so got a large bottle for one-dollar but ac- tua1Iy worth one hundred dollars. I only took one large tablespoonful three times a day and before I had taken one-half bottle was all right and have been since. Gratefully
