Erpensiremess Of Dogs.

The precise use of an average yellow dog
has not yet been figured out with mathemati-
cal exactness. In fact, the value of dogs Of
any color is a somewhat unknown quantity.
Some uuesthctlc people seem to take pleas
ure in bulldogs; some in terriers; and some
ladies in puppies of various low degrees Of
intellect. We make no objection to such
ecceRtricities, bat whop the dog-bnsiness
reaches national importance, we muststamp
with the hoof Of our disapproval.
Statistics have been compiled that show
the cost Of dog food in Iowa reaches s sum
suiiicientto to feed 100000 men, and that they
annually destroy S9,O0o,Oo0 worth of sheep.
With singular peryersity, the total cost of
educating .hechildren ofIowa does not reach
half that sum.
In Tennessee there are Ooo9 worthless
ours who consume food enough to build up
SO,OO0,OOO pounds Of bacon-enough hog to
fill 100000 men a whole year. That pile Of
bacon is worth S3,OOO,OO0; and the Tennes-
see sheep killed by ssid dogs are worth So
600, 900.
These figures are quite accurate enough
for formulation Of an opinion that dogs are
a very expensive luxury dcbased sort of
luxury not at al in keeping with the cost Of
it. There is a theory prevalent hereabouts
that each colored voter would pine away If
he did not be the owner Of at least three yell
low dogs. Why they need be yellow is a
biological conundrum that We will not essay
to solve. But we earnestly submit that three
three dogs to each c0lored voter is an equal
distribution Of natures wealth in the canine
line. The equilibrium would be more exact
If there were fewer voters and more dogs.

Goina % So ln CAl.rch.

The Rev. DR.. Charles +. Deems, al the
Church Of the Strangers, New York, put his
congregation in good humor by saying:
"Now, boys and girls, somebody has taught
you that it is q very improper thing for you
to 90 to sleep in church. have great re-
spect for those teachers, but let me tell you
something. Daring this hot weather you
fix up in the morning to come to church
and when you get there everything gees az
usual the preachers voice Is jus; the same.
and by and by when the sermon is about
half done you fad yourselves feeling drowsy
and il is hard work to keep your eyes open.
Now, when you find yourselves in this con-
dition 20 to sleep. l shant blame you for
it; neither will the Lord. The next best
thing to close communion with God when
you are awake is close communion with
Him when you are fast asleep. But you
mustn't make noise while you sleep DO i.
quietly. knew there is one little boy a.
mong you who makes 4 good deal Of noise,
but he doesn't intend 10 DO IT, want 70
ask the person who sits next 70 that boyjust
to hunch' bin a little when the noise be-
gins-not hard enough to wake him, but
just to stop the noise. There are sometimes
a few old people in the church who hear
every sound while the sermon is going on,
and these noises disturb and worry them.
Now, lie. that be the rule during the simmer
when you can't keep awake 60 to sleep.

The queen Of Rownanfa on Women.


Queen Elizabeth, Of Roumania, Is one Of
the most literary ladies Of European courts
She writes pleasingly and much-too much,
indeed for her oan reputation. Her great
theme is woman, her joys and sorrows-es-
pecially her soTows, for she has aafcsed

transcription:
"If a woman is bad, writes the Queen,
man is generally the cause thereof"
ado not trust man who docs not believe
in thy happiness in thy home"
Among the sayages the wife il an ami

One of the most singular traits ofourcom-
mon humanity is the fact that no matter

1 Oncen,s Opinion.

What a peculiar feeling experienced by
Americans the first time they gaze upon
ROYALTY. Here, in this free country, where
every citizen is d king and every mother q
queen, peep at royalty cr TILED princes and
p0tcntates does not come very often. Morbid
curiosity often leads our citizens 20 oct in q
manner unbecoming their high estate. Pc
runa is FIST making is way throughout the
land and j. becoming known Everywhcro
that it is used by the sick and afflicted, !;
makes wonderful cures and is given oil the
praise for its good work.
J. ". Queen writes from Johnstown, W.
Va. that he hasbeen sorely afflicted for sew
eral years. but he was urged to Try Peruna,
which he did, and he now feels that be is O.
bout over hi, trouble, and considers it The
greatest medicine in the world. lie says he
has 10 90 or send a distance Of fifteen miles
to obtain Peruna, bat it will repay him for
this. Ask for it at the nearest drug stoIe.

O LOVE, CONE BACK!

@ Love come back why did I let you gos
How heavy move life's pulses, dim and slow,
For empty day, and night Of sleepless pain,
Bereft Of ilow rs perfume and songs refrain
What heart can fathom vi0lets under snow?
o but to feel again the passionate glow
That warns, like wine, the wan veins ebbins
flow
To breathe life into passion by time slain
o Love, come back
To know the purple splendor Of Loves woe,
And not Regrets sharp sting, Scorn's sullen
hlow,
To dwell on dazzling heights no sin can stain
Above the earth's little deriding fame
Away from bitter friend and tender foe
O Love, come hack
