In North Carolina lies Roanoke island,
the birthplace Of Virginia Dare, the

Sir Walter Raleigh was responsible
for Roanoke island being placed on the
pages Of history, for in 1856 he sent out
colonizlng expedition to America, and
fate and the rough winds of the Allan
tic cast the ship up on Roanoke Is
land. On account of the climate, the
lack Of food and the ubiquitous In
dian the island was voted as unfn-
habitable by the colonists, who packed
their belongings and took the next
ship back to England and civilization.
But Raleigh was not discouraged. He
sent out another colony, which consent
ed to stay, and the man In charge Of
the expedition returned with the glad
news. Four years later, when Sir Wal
ter Raleigh sent him to report on the
progress Of the colony, he found on
the island no trace of settlers or set.

LIVED LONG IN WILD STATE
Alredaie Dog for Several Years Main.
tained Wild Predatory State In
the Yellowstone Park.

An instance Of a dogs return to the
savage state Of his wolf ancestry
came to light in February in the Yell
lowstone National park when Scout
Anderson's report Of trip into the
Buffalo Fork country contained, under
the heading of predatory animals
killed, a mention of one mountain lion,
one bobcat, four coyotes and an Alre-
dale dog.
This dog, which probably wandered
into the park from some farm or set
tlement few miles over the border,
has been living in the Yellowstone in
n wild state for several years.
Whether or not he fraternized with his
cousins the wolves and the coyotes
can not be known certainly. No doubt
he lived as they live, at the expense
of young and weaker deer and elk, and
smaller prey. Probably he lived alone,
against all animal kind as they were
against him. There are well-authenti-
Gated instances Of dogs thus returning
to savage nature. 1t speaks well for
his tenaclty and strength that, alone
of his kind in country where all
kinds of wild animals live still their
natural lives, he survived. He may
have been dog of good pedigree.
Anyway, the dog had been seen at
intervals for several years and was
officially classed among the animals
which, alone of all Yellowstones ami
mails, are sought and killed because
destructive of the harmless anlmas
which make Of this national park the
best-populated wild-animal preserve in

HAVE TO KNOW MULE NATURE
Drivers Of Patient Animals Realize
They Have PecuIiarities and
Must Be Humored.

An old fea-bitten, hammer-headed.
ewe-necked bell mare, slowly picking
her way across the corral at the re-
mount station at Camp Zachary Taylor,
followed by a long string of mules
walking in single file, heads down and
ears wagging, served as illustration
for an officer attached to the big can
tonment who had just finished remark
ing that "hOrse nature and mule ma
ture and human nature were mighty
contrary things any way you take
them"
"Now, take those mules" he said.
"The education of pack mule Is
thing that must begin early. He has
just two purposes in life.
zone Is to carry 225 pounds day
after day patiently and uncomplain-
ingly, and the other Is to follow the
bell mare of the train, regardless Of
where that animal may go. Well, there
Is in that corral an illustration of the
effectiveness of our training. The old
mare has started after q drink OF
water and there goes every dad-blasted
one Of those fool mules after drink
of water"
Investigation revealed that the pack
mule Is not the only member of his
family that has pecullarities that can
be played upon or must be humored.
II was learned that the larger mules,
once teamed up or paired, must there
after be worked together if each is not
to suffer a loss in efficiency. Two
strange mules will not work together
anything like so well in the beginning
rs they will few weeks later after
they have become well acquainted, and
then IL they are parted the whole
process must be gone over with again.

of surveying will be completed with
in the next few weeks, and every
thing will be in readiness to COM

the money is available, which will
be about July first. This will give

Cancelled Postage Stamps Have No
Use in Red Cross Work.

Don't waste time and energy saw
ing cancelled postage stamps for the
Red Cross. Somebody, somewhere
has started one of those pleasant but
likely-to-be-annoying fctions con
corning the value of postage stamps
which have served their original pur'
pose. This time the idea spread
abroad is that the American Red
Cross has devised a method of ex-
tracing the dyes from the Cancelled
stamps and putting the dye to prac'
tical use. There is nothing more in
this scheme than a figment of some
ones imagination; but the postoffice
department reports that several bags
of old stamps have accumulated
through the good will Of persons who
have thought they were doing some,
thing to help win the war. Within the
last two weeks, also, scores of let
ters have been received at Red Cross
headquarters, from persons asking
information regarding the matter.
The Red Cross wishes to advertise
as widely as possible, the absolute
falsity Of the report that used postage
stamps have any value through the
extra ction of the dyes contained in
them.

Good Grain Crops.

Inquiries among the farmers indi-
cate that there is an excellent pros
pect for a good grain crop this year,
Notwithstanding the fact that good
portion of the oat crop was killed by
the heavy freeze. The wheat pros
poets are especially fine.
A large portion of the acreage
planted to oats was killed in January
by the unprecedented cold spell, and
had to be. replanted. Spring oats
never turn out as well as winter oats,
but good portion of the winter crop
withstood the cold, and this acreage,
it is said, bids fair to make bounti-
full yield This reminds us of what
one farmer said Tuesday: That oats
planted in drills were not killed, and
those planted broadcast were killed
by the cold.
The wheat crop was uninjured by
the cold, and as the weather condi-
tions so far have been very favora-
bic to wheat, bumper crop is prom
ised in this county, and the acreage
planted to wheat this year appears to
be large.

An Untrue Report.

AS an indication of certain propa-
ganda that is being broadcasted
throughout the country, might be cit
ed this incident: A respectable col
ored citizen Saturday said that he
had "heard' that no more white
men were going to be sent to the
army; that only negroes were now
going to be sent to the war. OF
course, to the informed person, it is
unnecessary to state that there is
no truth in any such statement, and
such rumors could only be calculat-
ed to cause resentment on the part
of the negroes. The man was ask
ed who told him this, but he could
not give any definite information;
had just heard it. Anyone who would
wilfully tell such tale ough: to be
punished and severely punished.
There are many kinds of traitors in
the country.

A Real Brick.bat.

Life is made up largely of brick
bats and bouquets, and The Herald
gets some of both, as the following
letter will attest:
e'To The Herald, Mr.. Editor, Dear
sir:--I want you to stop sending me
your paper. My subscription was
out the 1st of Jan. and told you
myself not to send the paper unless
I renewed. don't want no paper
that duns a man on the paper by
hand print. So don't send me no
more of your papers. I don't wish
to read such paper. So stop the pa
per. Don't send it and if I am due
you anything for these few deys let
me know what it is and I will send
it to- you. I don't want any more
hand print papers. And oblige.'
Out of respect for the gentleman,
the name is deleted by the censor.
There appears to be no doubt about
the fact that he wants the paper
stopped. We might state that we
have a pretty good memory, but we
can't always carry in mind instruc-
tions to stop a paper when the sub
scription expires. We try not to
carry any of them very long, for the
fact is a newspaper is not the rich
est enterprise in the world, and we
frequently need a little change about
the Office. The little E'hand print
referred to is a rubber stamp i'm
print "Your Subscription Has Ex-
PRED" It is not a "dun," as our
friend misinterpreted it, but just a
gentle reminder that the time for
which the paper was paid has ex-
pired.

Long Ride Before Him.

A cyclist who stopped at a village
inn boasted about his abilities as a
rider to such an extent that the land
lord ventured to make a wager with
him.

keeper, 'you can't ride up and down
this road until the church clock
strikes six
Done said the cyclist. cts just
close on five now," and the next min
ute he was speeding down the road.
"After about an hours riding the
cyclist shouted to one of the by
standers, of whom many had assembl-
ed:
81 say, has the church clock struck
six yet?''
"No, you idiot" was the blunt re-
ply. "Our church clock never strikes
at all."-London Tit-Bits.
