1t is a crown;ng wonder to ever new conner
here and still an unfathomed mystery to many
citizens, where all the fyst dogs come from
that rush from every concieveable point upon
pedestrians who. dare 10 tramp upon the side
walks, that money paid, calls public. Some
people who complain of not enough TO eat can
afford TO keep four or five mean, barking dogs
about their house, and it Is known fact,
however much it may be denied, that
dogs cat and they get fed too. We know OF
several vicious dogs that are SO persistent
in their attacks, as to compel passers by to
leave the sidewalk and take 10 the street. II
people were thoughtful enough to know that
they are infringing on the rights of others.
besides engendering hatred OF themselves by
keeping, or letting run loose these aggravat-
ing ours, their number would be less or at least
they would be tied SO as not to compel
persons in travelling to and from their meals,
to engage in warfare with dogs every time
they pass. The meanest part OF the meanest,
characteristic of the dog loving, is that the
man or woman of the house will stand at the
window and watch your frantic efforts to get
by, without ever opening 4 door, or even cal
hing from the inside TO quiet the dog.

towns like Wichita and live people like ours
which contest resulted in adding Pm. (that
means postmaster) to our name, we have been.
unable to furnish anything for these columns
for several weeks. II, perchauce. anything

said we are sorry. The EAGLE wants to BE-
about right: but then how liable We all are
TO make mistakes. Since we las: wrote lot

dear TO us, 10 mingie our tears with brother
and sister bowed down in the profoundest
griei. which was followed by sickness in our
own family. Still would we write now, was
not every spare moment taken up in duties
pertaining to the relief business. Therefore
let our friends bear with us. There is a
brighter DAY for us all not far distant, we
hope The tales of woe, want and hardship
that we daily listen to, oftentimes drives sleep
from our eyes. But joyous, bright spring
time will soon be here and the God OF the
harvest win touch with silver lining the dark
cloud.that has hung like pail over our beau
tiful valley.
To our many friends who fear the effects Of
the distrustful words, the harsh sayings and
calumnies of fault-finders, touching our work
for the aid societies, we assure them that
their words OF sympathy will be cherished
and we will with them rejoice when all will
have forgotten their trials and hardships in
bountiiul harvest.
