POSTAL RATE
RAILROADS TO ASK FOR HIGHER
PAY FOR MAIL TRANSPOR-
TATION.

Washington. July 22.-The rail-
roads may ask the interstate COM
merce commission for higher rates on
mail transportation to help raise the
revenue to meet the $500, 100000
wage increase awarded to the "en-
ployes by the railway labor board,
executives said today. High postal
charges probably would result, the
postal authorities said.
Chicago, July 22.-Seven railroad
uniOns-trainmen, engineers, switch
men, shopmen, locomotive firemen
and enginemen, mates and pilots
We're reported to have definitely ac-
cepted the wage award of the railway
labor board. The Order orr Railway
Telegraphers refused and ordered a
strike vote. The Order of Railway
Conductors were still debating ac-
ceptance of the award today.

procedure was undertaken legally and
sanely, he said, while "the Poindcxter
demand is that such an appeal to the
lawfully constituted tribunals OF the
country should be made a criminal
offense."
"My position is perfectly plain to "
"They have right to attack this
amendment and they intend to attack
it, and if they can, legally destroy it,.
If, however, the United States Supreme
Court holds as a matter Of law it is a
proper amendment and properly
adopted, then the people of the State
Of New jersey have directed me TO
see it is interpreted literally, and not
interpreted so az to satisfy the ianat-

Of the liquor traffic. attack every one
who is LIBERAL minded and "ho believes
that personal liberty is the foundation
Of the greatness Of this country.
"Of course, it is unnecessary for me
TO say that | am not to be stopped or

VANISHED WITH THE BUFFALO
Few Left Of the Pronghorn Antelope,
That Once Roamed the Plains In
Vast Numbers.

Next to the buffalo. the most nu-
merous animal in the United States
not more than 80 years ago was the
pronghorn antelope. About half the
size of deer, but a bit more com.
pactly built, 1t ranged the plains from
the Missouri river westward to the
Pacific in places.
Antelopes were dry-country animals,
and were always found wherever
sagebrush, bunch grass and the short,
curly buffalo grass existed. Their ia
vorite range was the plains country
just east Of the Rocky mountains,
where they migrated with the seasons
from Alberta to Mexico, and between
the Rocky and the west coast ranges
from the Big Bend of the Columbia in
Washington, southwark to the Gulf
Of California and the Mexican west
coast. 1t was the best runner of all
the plains animals, and had endurance
for long-dlstance running, being well
able to take care Of itself when in dan
ger. Its meat is not very attractive to
the white mans palate, being stringy,
tough and dry, and having somewhat
the taste Of goat meat. Some are still
found. but only in widely scattered
areas.

Soap Bubbles Puzzle Doo.

A humorous happening is to get a
dog to chase soap bubbles. He will be
highly interested II one is placed on
the floor, and If the breeze forces It to
move he will follow 1t, keeping re-
spectful distance. however, at first.
After several bubbles are blown he
will gradually draw closer and very
soon will touch his nose to one Of
them. Then is when genuine look
Of astonishment comes over his face
as the bubble vanishes and perhaps he
gets tiny bit of soap in his eye. The
dog gives ample evidence OF his per-
plexlty whenever he sees anything that
excites his curiosity, for who OF us has
not seen them pucker up their fore
heads and stare in quizzicp' manner
at something they had not seen be-

Canine Curiosity.

The curiosity of the dog is pro-
nounced II observed for few min
utes. 1t Is quick to notice strange
dog or person and the value of the
watchdog comes from the fact that
1t wants to investigate every noise.
It is very interesting to watch n dog
when II meets beetle. At first he
seems to be little afraid of the tiny
creature, but finally he can't resist any
longer, so he plucks up enough cour.
age to touch It with his paw. Then.
realizing that II has not hurt him. he
smells II and rolls 1t over and over
with his nose. Then. after he has sat
istied his curiosity, he walks away and
leaves the beetle to go its way II he
has not put II out of commission with
the strenuousness of the investigation
