ton Of one; she had ambition and tact and
braina but, alas hot temper. Toward
the close Of her second season, during
which she had entertained like fairy
princess, she determined to give o grand
oall. Hundreds Of invitations were sent
cut and accepted. An orchestra OF eighty
picked men was secured. A supper worthy

in her Worth dre.s and all her diamonds,

Guests poured in, and tho rooms were
soon filled; but, III spite Of all her precau-
tons, the women somewhat outnumbered
the men, who grouped themselves about
the doors, and looked blandly on at the
roTsoi girls in pink and girls in blue that
linsd the walls, and the dancing, which
was going on in feeble way. Madame
saw that this would not do. She approach
ed the gentlemen.
"Let me introduce you to Miss Blank,

dances beautifully" she said to one Of
them.

presented to any OF the ladies. A fourth
had "seen the decorations upstairs" and
declined to bulge. A fifth "never ate
anything after dinner" "They all began
with one accord to make cxcuac," like The
guests Of the Biblical least, but madame,
instead OF taking the same revenge, grew
'urlously angry, and, stamping her=ioot,
cried, Then what the devil did you come
here for ?''
This effected more than all her entrea.

and protested their entire willingness to do
whatever che pleased, were introduced,

story was an open secret; in twelve hours
everybody YVES talking about it, sccie.y was
shocked beyond expression, and madame
went abroad.

Royal, Rich, Red Blood.

IN this country We are all kings,
and We are all entitled to have as
good blood q, that which courses
through the veins ofcmperors.
There arc princes and million.
aires languisl,ing in leebleness and
broken.down bodily health who
would be glad TO have the strength
ofthe huniblest laboring man.
And there are many people who
arc neither kings, cmperors, nor
millionaires, whose blood Is thin,
whose circulation is poor, who are
suffering from lassitudc and debility,
and who know not the pleasure ola
hearty meal, nor the enjoyment OF
being able to do good days work.
lfsuch people will put some iron
into their blood, they will vitalizc
and enrich it. They can do this by
the use Of Browns Iron pittcrs, the
purcst and most excellent iron med
icine ever made. Thousands who
were weak, languid, pale, and pros.
trated, arc now happy to say that
Browns Iron Bitters brought them
lip and gave them new life. 8

II to the account Of The dogs in this coun'
Try were charged the cost Of feeding them
the damages they do directly by the Do
s!ruction Of property and Of life, and the
Injury their vicious habits have inflicted
upon the agricultural interests by diacour,
aging wool.growipg; and II on tho o.he,
side Of the account were credited all the
good they have done, real and lancied-
II would DO found that the balance
against the dogs would exceed the cost Of
keeping all tho sheep in America. One
Important charge made agains. them would
be that they help men, who should be In
better business, to kill birds which, Il per
United 10 live, woald keep down the num-
Der Of insects injurious 10 food.crops. 1t
may be no fault Of tho dog that he Is thus
brought into the business OF increasing the
Cost Of living, but 1t certainly ia the FAULT
Of the industrious aud honest workers,
who are ever called upon to pay the cts. Of
tho necessities and the pleasurs Of the idle
and the vicious.
A remarkable thing 10 this connection ia
that the very class which should DO first to
demand the restraint, II not tho extinction,
OF dogs Is the class which 70 most ready to
claim tho right ind privilege Of keeping
them. The poor IRE always more burdened
with these curses than arc the rich; tho idle
loafer Is more likely to have hanging about
him half dozen vicious ours than the
honest worker Is to haye even one. Yet
there are few sound arguments in favor Of
the existence Of these destructive and costly
animals. That they ara grateful TO those
who have won their affections is true
80 would he the tens of thousands
OF little children now homeless and
friendless If even like care and
petting were given to them. That ia
true In a limited sense; but 1t can scarcely
be shown, even under the circumstances
most favorable to the canines, that their
work is really profitable, Obseryant
tlock.owners who Carefully analyza the
cost and the profit OF every part Of their
business declare that the shepherd dog,
that embodiment OF canine intelligence, ID
not q profitable assistant on the farm,
even in caring for sheep, the work for
which he has been especially fitted by
generations OF careful training. An aver
age boy OF ten can do all that the shepherd
dog can do and much more, and will coat
little more for food, and boys Of ten can be
had for less than well-lrAined dog will
cost.
When the whole subject has been
thoroughly sifted there is found in favor Of
dogs little more than Il misdrec,ed and
mawkish sentiment, which leads otherwis4
sensible people into the filthy habit OF
tondling ilea.bitteu aud carrion.loving
beasts; and, on the other hand, abundant
and nnquestionable evidence showing thai
the existence Of uncontrolled dcgs is a ~
rious m nacs to the property and lives Ct
al, AND great check 10 the advancement
Of mcst important industry.
