Keeping a Dog.
EXHERIENCE IN SHOOTING IMAGINARY
BURGLARS OUT OF THE ROSE
BUSHES.
By Scott Way.

The many admirers Of the popular hu-
knOIU that he ICiU hereafter be q regular
contributor Of the Weekly Press.
During the past three years have
not counted "a dog Of any sort among
my personal assets. The last dog /
owned died suddenly by visitation of
Providence, or Paris Green. My first
and only dog was bought us prOtec-
ton from burglars. A few nights after
| had acquired him | came home at q
late hour, and he met me at the front
gate and bit a piece out Of my leg. L
was somewhat annoyed at this occur
rance After that | did not give him
| opportunity to meet me at midnight
alone until he had come to know me
better in the dark.
"'Tis sweet to hear the watchdOg's
honest bark ~ / said to myself, as lay
on my pillow and heard some honest
/ bark.
Sometimes, nay, often, my new dog
would fairly make Rome howl with
honest bark, and l would get out of
bed, and, without waiting to dress my
self in Il proper way to meet total
stranger, | would 90 poking around with
a dOuble-barreled shotgun, hunting
for a burglar. Down among the rose
bushes and around about the hennery
my dog would lead me, now and then
barking with such furiOusness as to
persuade me that he almost had a
burglar by the slack of the trousers.
My dog never appeared to be hap
pier than when | would come down
with my night-shirt fluttering in the
wind and 90 poking my gun under the
rose bushes to shoe out a burglar. He
and for weeks | could get no rest o.
nights until had gone out and had q
wild, free, but fruitless, burglar hunt
One very dark night my dog did not
bark. Not once through the long
still house did | lear his too familiar
voice. Next morning | discovered
that burglar had called during thC
night and had stolen the family plate
and my new plug hat. After this little
incident GOODNESS sprung up between
me and my dog.
Not until Il few months ago was
able to convince the County Assessor
that my late dog was really defunct
and not alive aud hid somewhere abOu
the premises, when he came to make
schedule of my assets. For two con
secutive years he went away with {
suspicious look in his eve and marked
me down one dog; but ut last he i
convinced that my dog has been tori
away from me for good, and he shal
! not catch me with another.

Large Sale of Horses.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK. Dec. 5.-The public sale of
horses owned by the well-known book
maker, j. E. Kelly, attracted large crowd
to the stable on the corner of Broadway
and Thirty-eighth street.. Some OF the
horses were coughing, but bidding was
spirited because they represented quality
and excellent prices were obtained. Here
after Mr. Kelly will give his whole time to
bookmaking. 1t must be a profitable bust
ness because few years ago he was so
embarrassed he could not hold anything in
his own name. He claims that his large
stable did not pay expenses, and so the
running of it, as we'll as the purchase of the
horses, must be charged to bookmaking
profits. The public pays dearly for the
privilege of backing its fancy on the turf,
as nearly all of the men who started in
with blackboard and piece of chalk have
accumulated money. If they would stick
to their legitimate business and let the
management of stables alone the public
would be better satisfied.

TO-DAY In THE CHURCHES.
Advent Mission Services at Episcopal
Churches to Close To-Day.
Topics OF To-Day's Discourses--Gen-
eral Religious Notes.
Tbs Advent Mission.

The mission which commenced at the
Church of the Good Shepherd last Sunday
will come to an end this evening. The
services have been marked by an unusual
amount of earnestness, both On the part of
the clergy and people. The mission, while
chiefly intended as means of bringing in
those who are indifferent to the cause of re-
ligion, was also designed as way in which
to stir up church people themselves to the
proper exercise of their duties and privi-
leges. In the fultllment of this object the
missions have been success. Many have
attended the services who had not darkened
church door for many a day. and the luke
warm members of that parish have shown
unmistakable evidence of their desire to be
no longer classed under that head.
The missions have worked indefatigably
from early morn until late at night and
feel greatly encouraged at the result.
Rev. Mr.. Graves, the rector of Gethsemane
church. Minneapolis. and the Rev. Mr.. Gil
fillan of the White Earth Indian reservation
were the regular missoners who undertook
the work. They have given up their whole
time to the cause. Several other city cler-
gymen ha re also lent their aid. and clerical
visitors have arrived from day to day. In
fact. the rectory of the church has borne
the appearance of a clergy house, for the
past few days and the clergy themselves
have gained many valuable points from
each others society. They will part to-
morrow with feeling of regret that the
mission has so quickly come to close. The
rector, Rev. w. c. Pope. must certainly
feel happy over the enthusiasm which has
prevailed.
Yesterday afternoon at the children's
service MIR. Gillian spoke on the subject OF
Indian Children. making his audience ap-
preciate to how much greater an extent they
were blessed than the little ones OF the
forest. The evening subject was The Spir-
itual Life. To-day's services are as fol-
lows: Mathis, 1918 a. M; holy communion,
II a. m. mission meeting. 1880 p m. Sub
ject for the evening: The Hindrances to a
Religious Life and the Way to Overcome
Them.

We wish to suggest to the buyers of Fur Goods
few points which may be worthy of consideration:
FIRST---Very few persons know much about fur
goods particularly Sea with these persons there
is only SAFE way to purchase that is to go to
house with reputation for square and upright deal
ing, and one who KNOWS about furs, and hold it
sponsible
sECOND--If you are not a judge of Furs, you GER
tainly don't gain much by shopping" on furs except
perhaps to reach the conclusion that everybody sell
ing them knows how to mix the truth" and the
you look, the more YOU are mixed.
THIRDLY any line Of goods the firm who buys the
largest quantities., and pays cash, all other things
equal certainly their goods cheapest and added
to this, if that firm qualified judges Of the goods
their selection is worth than others therefore,
such firm is the to buy of, and we claim to be
that firm.
FOURTHYou will do well to buy where you can get
at the seller any time for satisfaction if anything is
wrong Therefore, DON'T buy Of FOREIGN PAR
TIES who have interest in you further than to
make the sale. fyou have any idea such parties will
sell you goods to better advantage their goods and
ours and compare them AT YOUR HOME.
Now then, we claim to buy and sell more Seal goods
than any other firm in the West; to KNOW AND
UNDERSTAND" THE FUR BUSINESS,and that we
can sell you goods of better quality than Others for
our selection is worth 10 per cent more in quality
We have been here many years, and our best claim
for custom is the merits Of goods sold in the past

MORMON CHEEK.

Mormon organs at Salt Lake COM
plain bitterly of the unjust reports OF
their people which are sent out over the
country. According to them, there is
no gall and bitterness in Mormondon;
only long suffering patience under mar
tyrdom. The Mormon papers in the
small stakes of Zion, however, furnish
the best answer to these complaints and
the strongest indictment Of the polyga-
mist's hatred of this government and
its leading men. Panaca is small
Mormon settlement in southern Neva-
da. Like all other states, it was pre-
pared to celebrate the Mormon ami
versary on July Oath, but orders came
from headquarters to stop sthe observ-
ance on account of Grants death. The
Panaca people refused to obey the or
der, and Mormon correspondent at
that place gives this cynical reason for
their conduct:

The head of the treasury department
the other day ordered an investigation
of the affairs of the Smithsonian 1nsti-
tute, says the Orxgonian. 1t wasgiven
out that big nest of fraud and corrup-
tion was to be unearthed. But the
surprise of the reformer was great when
he was told by the officers of the Smith
sonian to mind his own business. In
explanation, he was informed that the
Smithsonian Institute is private es-
tablishment, its only connection with
the treasury being that which arises
from the fact that the United States
government is trustee for its endow-
ment fund. Congress names the board
of regents, and they look after the at
fairs of the Institute, without obllga:
tions to politicians who make 'reform
a profession. The laugh is on Man
| ming and his subordinates.

The American sugar refinery of San
Francisco has secured control of the
sugar produce by several Of the large
planters of the Hawaiian islands, and
thus it is supposed it has broken the
monopoly of the sugar trade so lcng
held by Claus Spreckles. Hard telling
it may be a mutual job put up by both
refneries to mislead the outside world
and make them believe there is great
opposition, when in fact the new con-
dition may be brought about for their
mutual benefit. Spreckles is d sharper
and the American refinery may be his
own opposition.
