Roosevelt and Taft men in order to
hoodwink the people and get mem

if they win, even have to work
against Cannon. But they hope ,to
propitiate the "interests" later by a
senator who will Berve them instead
of the people, and they will need

In northern Butte county tells of the
good coal fields that are located

the proper rail facilities allow the

WOLVES FEAR IRON.
the
A Piece of the Metal Will Keep
Animals From Any Carcass.
In the early clays wolves were com
paratively unsuspicious, and it was
easy to trap or poison them. Then
new knowledge, a better comprehen
sion of the mod era dangers, seemed to
spread among the wolves. They learn
ed how to detect and defy the traps
and poison, and In some way the
knowledge was passed from one to an
other till all wolves were fully pos
sessed of the Information. How this
is done Is not easy to say. It is easier
to prove that It is done. Few wolves
ever get Into a trap, fewer still get into
I trap and out again, and thus they
learn that a steel trap is a thing to be
feared. And yet all wolves have the
knowledge, as every trapper knows,
and since they could not get It at first
hand they must have got it second
band—that is, the information was
communicated to them by others of
their kind.
It is well known among hunters that
a piece of Iron is enough to protect any
carcass from the wolves. If a deer
or antelope has been shot and is to be
left out overnight, all that is needed
for its protection is an old horseshoe,
a spur or even any part of the hunt
er's dress. No wolf will go near such
suspicious looking or human tainted
things. They will starve rather than
approach the carcass so guarded.
With poison a similar change has
come about. Strychnine was consid
ered infallible when first it was intro
duced. It did vast destruction for a
time then the wolves seemed to dis
cover the danger of that particular
smell and would no longer take the
poisoned bait, as I know from number
less experiences.
It is thoroughly well known among
the cattlemen now that the only chance
of poisoning wolves is in the late sum
mer and early autumn, when the young
are beginning to run with the mother.
She cannot watch over all of them the
whole time, and there Is a chance of
some of them finding the bait and tak
ing it before they have been taught to
let that sort of smell thing alone.
The result Is that wolves are on the
Increase. They have been, Indeed,
since the late eighties. They have re
turned to many of their old hunting
grounds in the cattle countries, and
each year they seem to be more nu
merous and more widely spread, thanks
to their mastery of the new problems
forced upon them by civilization.—
Ernest Thompson Seton In American
Magazine.
SELF RELIANCE.
The to
Lenon That Waa Taught
Henry Ward Beecher.
Henry Ward Beecher used to tell
this story of the way In which his
teacher of mathematics taught him to
depend upon himself:
"I was sent to the blackboard and
vent, uncertain, full of whimpering.
That lesson must be learned,' said
my teacher In a very quiet tone, but
With a terrible Intensity. All explana
tions and excuses he trod underfoot
with utter scornfulness. *1 want that
problem. I don't want any reasons
Why you haven't It,' he would say.
"'1 did study two honrs.'
That's nothing to me. I want the
lesson. You need not study It at all
or you may study It ten hours, just to
suit yourself. I want the lesson.'
"It was tough for a green boy, but it
seasoned me. In less than a month
I had the most Intense sense of .lit
tellectual Independence and courage to
defend my recitations.
"One day his cold calm voice feH
upon me in the midst of a demonstra
tion, 'No!'
'1 hesitated and then went back to
the beginning, and on reaching the
same point again 'Nor uttered in a
tone of conviction, barred my progress.
The next!' And I sat down in red
confusion.
"He, too, was stopped with 'Not* but
went right on, finished, and as he sat
down was rewarded with "Very well I'
"'Why,' whimpered I, 'I recited it
Just as he did and you said 'No!'
'Why didn't you say Tea' and stick
to it? It Is not enough to know your
lesson—you must know that you know

Symbolism of College Gowna.
It has been said that few people. In
cluding many university men them
selves, have any deilnlte idea of the
meaning of the gowns worn by collegi
ate students.
In America university gowns exhibit
much variety, there being a great dif
ference in the various institutions, but
all over the country—in fact, ail over
the English speaking world—certain
distinctions hold.
The ordinary bachelor's gown, the
first the student owns, is of unadorned
black with pointed sleeves and Is or
dinarily made of serge or other sim
ple black fabric. The master's gown
Is like the student's, inasmuch as it Is
plain black, but the sleeves are cut dif
ferently, being long pendants shaped
not unlike fish tails and hanging from
the elbows nearly to the bottom of the
gown. The master's gown may be
made of silk, as may also the bache
lor's gown If it is worn by a man of
long academic standing who has hap
pened to receive no higher degree, but
the ordinary university man has no
desire to clad himself in silk.
Most doctors' gowns, especially In
England and Scotland, have hoods that
give them certain distinctions and dif
ferentiate by differences of color the
doctorates.—Harper's Weekly.
A Disciple of Emerson.
He stood in the driving, sloshing
rain on a corner contemplating the
curb.
"Don't you know enough to go In
when It rains?" asked an acquaint
ance hurrying by to shelter.
"I am a disciple of Emerson," he re
plied.
His acquaintance stopped In aston
ishment while his umbrella turned in
side out. What the"— he began.
"You see that curbstone," the first
man continued, "where it has been
worn smooth by the throngs? You
never saw it when It was washed
shiny clean before. Isn't it the most
beautiful gray-green and polished like
a slab? Emerson said you could find
beauty in the rainwater channels In
a pile of ashes If you looked for It.
I'm finding It in the sidewalk."
The other man's comment was
smothered in a fresh gust of wind and
the wreck of his umbrella.—New York
Sun.
Insurance and Assurance.
They were talking, the little group
of agents, about the words Insurance
and assurance, some claiming that the
first and some that the second was the
better word to use.
But with a scornful laugh a Boston
agent In gold rimmed spectacles said:
"You are all very ignorant Insur
ance is no better and no worse than
assurance. Each has a special signifi
cance, and each is equally good in Its
place. The place for assurance Is
where precaution Is taken against a
certainty—agaln&t, that Is, death. Life
assurance, we should say if we spoke
with perfect correctness. The place for
Insurance is where precaution Is taken
against an uncertainty, such as fire,
shipwreck, burglary. Fire Insurance,
marine insurance, we should say."—

PAPER WATERMARKS.
Are
Method by Which' the Device*
Imprinted on the Sheets.
The discovery of the watermark was
the result of an accident—probably a
thousand years ago. Parchment was
then made of vegetable pulp, which
was poured In a liquid state Into a
sieve the water dripped out from be
low, and the thin layer of pulp that
remained was pressed and dried. When
dry It was found to bear upon It the
marks of the fiber that composed the
bottom of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they left
on the parchment took the form of
wide lines running across and across
diagonally. In those days the water
mark was regarded as a blemish since
the fiber was thick and coarse and the
deep Impression made on the paper
proved a drawback In writing. The'
quill of the scribe found many a yawn-'
lng gap to cross on the surface of the'
manuscript—1"switchback scripture" It
has been termed. But when wire was
substituted for fiber in the sieve the
lines of the waterwark grew thinner,
and less conspicuous.
The possibilities of the usefulness of
the watermark became apparent by
degrees. It was, first found to be of
service in preventing the forgery of
books and manuscripts. Many a bogus
copy of a rare work has been detected'
because the counterfeiter failed to take
into account the watermarks of the
original. The watermark of many a
precious manuscript in the world's
museums Is alike its glory and its safe
guard. And in the sphere of bank
notes and paper money everywhere
the watermark Is most useful in pro
tecting the notes from imitation.
The term "watermark" Is in reality
a misnomer since Hie mark is actually
produced by wire. \^ire is fashioned
into the desired pattern, figure or let
tering. This is Insetted beneath the
weet In the last stages of Its manu
facture and while the paper Is still
capable of receiving tie Impression
and the wire device stamps Itself Into
the sheet Ordinary note paper held
up to the light reveals hundreds of
parallel lines running up end down,
betraying the fact that the.paper was
made on a wire foundation. To this
the paper owes its smoothness and its
even texture.
In the manufacture of postage
•tamps the watermark Is of Immense
advantage: as a safeguard. The wlr^a
that produce the marks are kept strict
ly under loci:- and key. They are
brought out only wben wanted, and an
Inspector keeps an eye on th&n till
their task Is done, wlien they are at
once locked up egaln. London An-
A PERSON OBSESSED.
The Victim of an Insistent and Com
pulsive Habit of Action.
The word "obsession" may be defined
as an Insistent and compulsive thought,
habit of mind or tendency to action.1
The person so burdened is said to be
obsessed.
Few children are quite free from ob
session. Some must step on stoues
others must walk or avoid cracks
some must ascend the stairs with the
right foot first many must kick posts
or touch objects a certain number of
times. .Some must count the windows,
pictures and figures on the wall paper
some must bite the nails or pull the
eye winkers.
Consider the nail biter. It cannot be
said that he toils not, but to what end?
Merely to gratify an obsession. He
nibbles a little here and a little there
he frowns, elevates his elbow and In
verts his finger to reach an otherwise
inaccessible corner. Does he enjoy it?
No, not exactly, but he would be mis
erable if he discontinued.
It is during childhood that we form
most of the automatic habits which
are to save time and thought in later
life, and it Is not surprising that some
foolish habits creep In. As a rule,
children drop these tendencies at need,
just as t':ey drop the rules assumed
In play, though tliej^are sometimes so
absorbing as to cause inconvenience.
An interesting instance was that of
the boy who had to touch every one
wearing anything red. On one occa
sion his whole family lost their train
because of the prevalence of his color
among those waiting in the station.
The longer these tendencies are re
tained in adult life the greater the dan
ger of their becoming coercive. And
so far as the well established case Is
concerned, the obsessive act must be
performed, though the business, social
and political world should come to a
standstill.
A child who must kick posts Is father
to the man who cannot eat an egg
which has been boiled either more or
less than four minutes, who cannot
work without absolute silence, who
cannot sleep if steam pipes crackle
and who must straighten out all tan
gles of his life, past, present and fu
ture, before he can close his eyes In
slumber or take a vacation.
The boy Carlyle, proud, shy, sensi
tive and pugnacious, was father to the
man who made war upon neighbors'
poultry and had a room, proof against
sound, specially constructed for his
literary labors. Lippincott's Maga
zine.
Petrarch.
Petrarch was at this time a young
man of engaging appearance, comely
if not strikingly handsome, with a
high color and a complexion rather fair
than dark. His eyes were animated
In expression and remarkably keen of
sight—in the Laurentian library por
trait they are rather small, but very
clear and beautiful—he was of middle
height, and his limbs, though not very
strong, were well knit and agile. In
early and middle life his health was
robust, and he was extremely tem
perate In his habits, "drinking nothing
but water throughout his childhood
and down to the close of the period
of youth." From the Laurentian por
trait we see further that he had an
Intellectual face? with a rather low
but very massive forehead, a large,
Btraight nose, delicately arched eye
brows, high and well modeled cheek
bones and a beautiful mouth, with lips
that shut at once firmly and smilingly.

'Plant* That Poison One Another.
It tea matter of common observation
that grass does not grow so well close
to trees as In the open. The same Is
true of grains. Experiments in Eng
land and In this country have shown
that the deleterious effects of the near
neighborhood of grass and trees are
mutual. The tree suffers as well as the
grass and grain. This Is especially
true of fruit trees. The cause is as
cribed to the excretions by the trees, on
the one hand, of substances poisonous
to the grass and by the grass on the
other hand, of substances poisonous to
the trees. It thus appears that the fail
ure of grass to grow well near trees
should nor be ascribed to too much
shade nor to the exhaustion by the
tree roots of the food supply needed by
the grass.—Exchange.
Iceland'* Eider Duck*.
In Iceland on certain islands, near
Belklavik, the elder duck Is raised In
a systematic manner. It is really more
of a small goose than a duck, being so
Independent of fish and animal food as
to be able to support Itself by grazing
on seaweed at the bottom of the sea at
a considerable depth. It Is a splendid
diver, being as much at home under
the water as on the surface. The great
value of the eider duck's down is well
known, and," owing to the bird's tend
ency to pull out such large quantities
for lining Its nest that it leaves Its
lower "breast almost bare when it Is
setting, there Is no difficulty in get
ting a good supply of these feathers
without destroying the birds. In Ice
land it Is strictly guarded against In
trusion. The. inhabitants consider It a
crime worse than stealing deer In Scot
land for any person to shoot an eider
duck.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
Did He See the Point?
There is a bright young woman of
the official set In Washington who at
a public function this winter found
herself much bored by the attention of
a fresh young man, the son of a sen
ator from a southwestern state.
Soon after his introduction to the
young woman the fresh young man
proceeded to regale her with a story
of some adventure in which he had
figured as hero. His listener, a remark
ably well bred girl, was as much sur
prised as he could have wished, though
not in the same way.
"Did you really do that?" she asked,
not knowing what else to say.
"I done it," was the proud response
of the fresh young man, and he began
forthwith another lengthy narrative
more startling even than the first The
young woman again politely expressed
her surprise.
"Yes," said the hero, "thafs what I
done."
A third story followed, with another
"I done it," whereupon the girl re
marked:
"Do you know, Mr. Blank, you re
mind me so strongly of Banquo's ghost
In the play?"
"Why?"

said to the ghost, 'Thou canst not say
