Rowland Higbie, oi what used; to be St. Ambrose's, but b\ tie grace of the board on geographic saroes, is now officially St. Ambrose was a famous judge and lover of dogs tnd indeed of all other arsixna]?. Long before aniseed' dogs were invented- in this country Col.

The col- onel hardly ever slept at home, for feai that some jealous aniinal or other might destroy him to prevent another over- affectionate animal from securing him It might be expected that the colonel had some good stories to tell of the in- telligence of his favorites. He had. Only his unexpected death prevented hirn irxnn confuting fnenVTo The coT umns of his favorite weekly. As it is. here are two of his stories, noted, down from his accounts of his pets. Rory and Kathleen, two doe?: "In spite of their sames," the col- on-el would preface his tale, "these two dogs were not Irish setters or anything else Irish. Rory was whelped on De- cember 11 and' Kathleen on March 8. They were named out of contrariness. Rory's mother,-Queen Anne, was a fa- brought into London every year.

Belgium's census, taken the last day of last year and tabulated recently, shows a population in the kingdom of 6,744.522, The;Hebrew population of London has more than doubled during the last 20 years.

' "' Here, as a rule, the colonel would interrupt himself to revile modern railroads. -Xej^jthey enabled one to get fcrom St. Ambrose to 2sew York in a day. but what of that? They killed more good dogs in a year than they were worth. "Rory. as I said," the colonel would continue, "was whelped 1 on Deeembei 31. and his mother was killed late in January. Early in March I was sur- prised to see a puppy, dirty, travel- stained and 1 disreputable, drag himself up to my door and- lie down on the mat.

It is at this season of the year that thousands of people—men, women and 1 children—are to be seen catching turtles, hunting pearls, collecting mussel shells, fishing on the sand bars, capturing water snakes or dragging submerged walnut logs from the water.

I took out an old | fresh water turtle stream in the world rug. red on one side and gray on the other, on' which Queen Anne had slept, and threw it in a corner; the puppy looked at it and'whined. I could hardly see to do it, my eyes were so full,of tearsv but arrretHhe enrtry the corner where Queen Anne hadtslept and the puppy lay down and slept content- edly. "It wasn't for several days that learned' all 'about the matter. After his mother's tragic death Rory, who had 1 seen it. pined and moped a good deal. After about a week he disap- peared and it was thought that he had been stolen. But no! the little fellow had< found his way to his mother's old home! He had never been there; but the wonderful instinct imparted to dogs had enabled' him to find his way over MO miles of tortuous rn»fpifl- "No one can tell me that dogs haven't more than instinct."' Kathleen possessed even more won- derful powers of instinct or reason than Rory. As Col, Higbie said', she was whelped on March 8. of pure breed. She was a small animal, liver and'white in color, and- noted at the colonel's for her exceptional intelligence. For the same reason that led Col. Higbie to dis- pose of Queen Anne. Kathleen was to be sent to a friend's place at Bremen, about 120 miles from St. Ambrose. This is Col. Hig-bie's account of what happened: "It was in 1897, in May," the colonel would beg-in. "I had decided to accept •fo: ideb) deale hi. Bremen, and sat down to write him of the fact. I wrote, interrupting- my- self from time to time to speak to my wife. When I returned to my letter I suppose I must have read 1 aloud what I had written. Kathleen, who had 1 been lying- in front of the fire, began to get very uneasy. She got up. looked around; went to the door, scratched* at it and would not be quiet when Mrs. Higbie ordered her to stop. Finally I let her oat, and looking at mj watah remarked to Mrs. Higbie that it was early, it was my habit to turn all the house dogs out about ten o'clock, and it was then only nine. "Kathleen did* not return, nor did she come back the next day. What had! happened to her I could' not imagine, nntil the day afterward, that is the second day after I had written the let- ter, when I got word from the dealer in Bremen that Kathleen was there! **I investigated? the matter, and found that «he had reached Bremen on the train that left St. Ambrose at 9:30 in the morning, and that she had been seen at the station iti St. Ambrose all night before that train went. Then tne tr,uth flashed 1 across me! She had hearti'me read the letter, in which I.saidi that I should send her by the 9:30 a. m. train. She had understood '9:30,' but not a. m., unless-she thought it meant 'im- mediately;' she had tried to get out of the room in time to get the train which *he thought went"at 9:30 at night, had hung around the station all night, aodt had taken the train to the^ right place the next day!" To the day of his 1 death Col. Higbie maintained with, much justification that animals* especially dogs, bad* well developed power? of reason; .and who can deoj it, alter hearing these stories? and the Cumberland is famous for its prolific turtle fields.

These enormous catches are rare, and the money is mad* by selling smaller ones. Washington and New York furnish the best markets, and many "a diamond "Chesapeake 'terrapin" ui the famous caterers really came from Ten- nessee. Turtle meat is as great a favorite dish'with the southerner as the 'pos- sum. The southern negro has a prov- erb that the turtle feeds on fish, chick- en, eggs, cresses and the choicest coun- try delicacies, until his ownfleshpar- takes of all their various flavors. They positively assert they can distinguish all these flavors. The small turtles are captured for food and the larger ones for their shells, of which many domes- tic articles are mad*. The heaviest hauls are taken in huge frame traps set in the swifest channel of a bayou. The negro locates a turtle sitting in with a forked stick. They tease the turtle until he becomes mad and pokes out his head to hiss, then the forked stick goes over his head and the turtle is hauled out of the water. The large ones are killed outright and boiled in giant pots until the shell comes off. The •hells are then scraped and polished- The pearl hunters throng the riT «v*ry summer. Thousands of them are wading and dredging for the musse! or fresh water clam. The shells of sev* eral varieties are gathered: by the ton and shipped up the Mississippi river te the pearl button factories. There are a dozen varieties of the mussel, but only two—the niggerbe>ad and the sand ahcll—are valuable to the factories. Along the river are shacks in scores, in which the families engaged in the hunt find shelter. Outside are long troughs. filled with water. Huge caldrons are mounted »n brick foundations, aaid the shells are boiled in these. PuntSv rafts, fiat boats and skiffs are used in th« catch.

He neg- lects to say anything about the ice trust, but is very fierce in his denunciation of trusts in general. He charges that the Republican party is %he party of trusts. Democratic orators are following bis lead and, with vioimt ravings, are accusing UP Republicans of- haying enacted legis- lation whir.-b mudo it possible for trusts to come into exist+noe, and with having laiJcd to pass laws which would regulate them or control their powers. 'The record in congrt-ss of the Demo- cratic party shows that this argument of Sir. Bryan is utterly groundless. Moreover, it t-hows that the Democrats themselves are responsible for whatever failure there was in the last congress to provide for an antitrust amendment to the constitution. In an address before the trust conference in Chicago, Sept. 10, 180ft Mr. Bryan said: "I believe we ought to have remedies in both state and nation, and that there should hp concurrent reruedies. * ?._._*_. I believe, in addition to a state remedy, there must be a federal remedy, and I believe congress has, or should have, the power to place restrictions and limita- tions, even to the p-oint of prohibition, upon any corporation organized in one state that |vants to do business outside of the state. Congress ought now to pass *ne<h a law. If it is unconsti- tional, and so declared by the su- preme court, I am In favor of an amendment to the constitution that Trill give to congrresg power to de- stroy every truttt in the country.^ Here Mr. Bryan lays down for his party the remedy for what he calls the trust evil. His insincerity and the incon- sistency of his party on the subject is' shown in the fact that, when the jndi- clary committee of the house of representatives brought before that body a Joint resolution providing for a constitutional amendment which should give congress power to regulate trusts, only five Demo- crats voted for It, while practically every Republican in the house sup- ported the measure. It required a two-thirds vote, and the Democrats defeated it. Whatever legislation against iniquitous trusts is on the statute books has been placed there by Republicans, and the Democratic outcry against all corporate wealth afedagainst Republicans on the score of pNjteeting and fostering trusts is absolute misrfcprfcseutation. The trust is- sue is a humbug second only to the other humbug of anti-imperialism. BRYAN DIDN'T KNOW. medicine is a ©ififsend to poor weak women. I would like to ask yon why I cannot have a child.

In 18W> Bryan made dire prediction as to what would happen in this country or in any country which refused to increase its stock of currency by the free coinage of silver. He said, in his Madison Square Garden speech, accepting—the nomination: "Any legislation which lessens the world's stock of standard money in creases the exchangeable value of the dollar. Therefore, the crusade against silver must inevitably raise the purchas- ing power of money and lower the money value of a!l other forms of property." Since that time Japan, Russia and In- dia have adopted the gold standard, ye - instead of the "money value of all othei forms of property" being lowered there has been a general increase, notably so in the United States. The official reports that horses in the United States, which numbered over 15.000.000 in 1896 and but iS.oOO.OOO inj.900. bad increased in value from $500,140^86 to 1^03,969,442. or more than $l0d,000.(XK). The value of sheep in the United States on Jan. 1, 1900, was double the value of this animal at the date of Mr. Bryan's speech. Tak- ing into consideration all farm animals, their increase in value in the four years was almost $500,000,000. Either Mr. Bryan was mistaken in his theory of government or he said what he knew was pure demagoguery. In either case, is it safe to elect him president?

Bryan Said T&ey Would. M If we hare a gold standard, prices are as certain to fall a? the stone which is thrown into the air." (Prom a speech of William Jennings Bryan at Newton, O. f Aug. 8, 1896). The gold standard has been in force "since Bryan made this assertion. At that time, according to official reports of the bureau of statistics, wheat was 68 cents per bushel. On June H, 1900, the highest price for the same grade of wheat, in the game market, was 92^4 cents per bushel. The highest price of corn on Aug. 8, 1S96, was 30% cents per bushel and on June 21, 1900, it was 47% cents. Mess pork on Aug. S, 1896, was $8.75 per bar- rel; on June 21, 1900, it was $12.50 per barrel. Beef, in the New York mar- ket at the date of Mr. Bryan's nomina- tion, was $9 per barrel; on June 21, 1900, it was $12 per barrel. The facts do not agree with Mr. Bryan's prophecy. Is a man whose solemn public utter- ances are so wide of the mark a safe man to be president? AX INSTRUCTIVE PARALLEL.
