Church. Going Dogs.


One Of Millions hlographers. asserting
the non-existencr of dissent in Scotland in
the poets time, SAYS: Not a man. not a
woman. not a child, not dog. not rabbit
in all Scotland, but belonged to the kirk, or
had TO pretend TO that relationship" Ger
tain il is that if not formally admitted to
kirk membership. Scottish dogs have ever
enjoyed privileges not accorded TO their
Southern cousins. An angler asking a
shepherd il building within sight vas a
Kirk, and remarklng that II so II was a very
small one, was answered, Ma sac sma'
there, aboon 80 collies there ilka Sabbath.
This recognition Of canine rights of fel-
lo~-ship has It's inconvenienees. An Edlu-
burgh minister. officiating at a country Kirk
could not understand the congregation keep
ing their seat when he arose to pronounce
the benediction. He waited, but no one
stirred. Then. seeing his embarrassment,
and guessing its cause, the old CLERK basled
out 'Say ava, sir say ava it's joost TO
cheat the dovgs" Experience had shown
that the dogs took the rising Of the people
as the signal for departure. and. acting upon
that idea, disturbed the solrmnity Of the
occasion. They had, therefore. to be check
mated By the people keeping their seat.

watch-night service IN Perth. observed that
the house Of God vas not for dogs to wor-

turned out; finding no response to the
appeal. he was fain to leave the pulpit and
do his own behesi. Dr. Guthrie would have
.ympa,hiEed with the dog abettors. His
companion, Bob. lying At the head Of the
pulpit stairs on sundays, occupied place
nearly As conspicuous a. his masters. The

No Time to Lie.

Jesse c. had the reputation of being the
"biggest liar" in Georgia, and was never
known to come out behind. One hot day

After dinner he saw Jesse riding in great
haste toward town. Bill halted him and
went to the gate. Jess asked what he want

And on he went. Bill ran to the house and

through the heat and dust to Uncle Soils.
On arriving he found the family and two
neiehbors in the large kitchen; Uncle Soil
buried-to the eyes-in big watermelon.

How Mrs. Langtry Looks,

NV lOtk sun
She stood erect, with her shoulders back,
and the full lines Of her figure perfectly re-
Nealed by dress that fitted ws,..Gut a wrluk-
le. The dark blue bodice was unrelieyed
except by brilliant mass Of gold braid
down the front and around the collar, and
the plated skirt lel! IN straight lines within
few inches OF the deck Beneath we're
two remarkably small English walking
shoes, and on her head the actress wore u
small hat that has been named after her
Her hair was IN loose and graceful ringiets
over her forehead and draxn in simple
knot behind. Her waist was very small,
and her whole costume was characterized
by elegant simplicity. Her movements
we're extremely graceful and dignifed, and
she stood, with her hands clasped and her
head slightly bent, among the crowd of
strangers, the picture of repose Her hair
Is brown. With unge Of rich auburn that
looks like gold.
Mrs. Langtry Is unquestionably a very
beautiful woman. Her beauty is OF the kind
that battles photography, and those who have
seen her pictures only. have no conception
of the charm Of her face. Her complexion
l. pure white, and almost transparent
There Is on either cheek a dull Tch and
scarcely distinguishabe color, that softens
the contour OF the face, but Otherwise her
skin Is as white as snow The ears are as
purely white a. the forehead, and the eve
broSs are beautifully outlined. The mouth
in repose has a pathetic or serious express
ion, and the lips are as clearly cut as a
statues. Wnen she smiles, perfect teeth
are revealed, and the cheeks wrinkle up in
to two deep little dimples. The eyes, how
ever, are the most winning feature of all.
They are gray, with little jet black pupils,
and are shaded by long dark Iashes. They
are wonderfully expressive, and certainly
very effective, for they did remarkable work
yesterday. Mrs. langtry raised them slow
ly, and glanced around into the faces of
tie men about her, looking at each one

the Ovid Asylum and escaped on two oc-
csSions. He was subsequently arrested in
the Rome Methodist church with masks
and revolver in his possession. He
claimed to be there for the purpose of lay
ing his complaint before the church Re-
Gently he brought civil suit against War
