an Indifferent Beast.
They have a fighting dog in a saloon
on Michigan Avenue. They not only
keep him to fight any dog in the State
for spot cash, but he furnishes heap
Of fun to hangers on by the way he
picks up such CANNES as happen to drop
inside at the heels of their masters. 1t
is poor week when he doesn't cripple
three or four, and he has killed several
outright. The other day a roughly
dressed man, carrying a whip in his
hand and looking like callous-handed
son of toll, entered the place and called
for beer. He was followed by a broken
hearted dog of respectable size, and as
soon as the loafers caught sight Of the
canine there was much winking and
chuckling,
Better send that dog out" suggested
one.

mo, but he'll get chewed up"
Il don't see anything likely to do it,
though he amt no fighter"
There's dog in the back room
which can snake him out in ten ticks of
the clock, said the bartender.
''Wall, | dunno. P'raps he might
and p'raps he might'ent. William Hen
ry allus kinder manages to squeak along
somehow"
Would you have any objection to
my bringing in my .purp?"
mo, | guess not, though never en-
courage dog-fghting.
The saloon fighter from the head
waters of fighting creek was united and
ushered in. William Henry was half
asleep in the center of the room, and the
first thing he knew he was rolled over
and over, and something had hold of
him by the throat. 1t was a tleeting
grip, however. The fighing dog seemed
to get hold of something to discourage
him and he let 90 and began sneezing
and coughing. Then it was William
Henry's turn and he sailed in. In three
minutes time he had run the fighter
out doors and across the street and
would have killed him in the gutter if
pedestrians had not interfered.
Say, stranger, how was it done?n
asked the bartender as he picked up the
remains to carry them in.
"Well, William Henry hahn no great
fighter, as | told you before, and to
kinder help him out l used about a
pound of snuff around the vital parts.
It's awful good for fleas and it sorter
evens up put-up thing. "-Detrojt Free

"Any number of ladies keep their check
books" said Cashier Osborne of the Mer-
chants Loan and Trust, "and check against
their bank deposits for household and per-
sonal expenses, just as their husbands do in
their business. 1t is very convenient for
ladies to do this, as they can go shopping
and make extensive purchases without both
eriDg the stores or their husbands with bills
and without carrying currency around with
them. Some ladies are given regular al
lowance by their husbands, In some cases
know of running as high as 100000 a year.
The wife of one OF our richest merchants
takes entire charge of the household. the
grounds, the stable, everything. She
watches the domestic end of their affairs as
close as her husband does the business end
She issues her checks TO pay the servants,
the stablcmen, the harness repairer, the car
riage maker, the grocer, the butcher and
everybody She even takes charge of all
home improvements and pays the painter,
the boss stone mason, the decorator, the
carpenter and so ON. Such woman is a
great help to a man who has many irons
in the fire and great business on his hands.
Many men who are not wealthy make de-
posts to their wife's credit and we handle
their checks. In fact, there has been a sort
of craze among Chicago ladies for bank ac-
counts and check books. 1t is good thing,
