A DEMoRALIzEO DOG coRPs."

| The Joke Played on French Military
Men by AN English Officer
An amusing story is told in connection
! with an English officer, who recently passed
! through Belfort, a well known fortress in
/ France. Provided with letters of introduc-
| ton TO the officer in command he was
! treated with great distinction, and among
other interesting experiments he was invited
10 witness the efficiency of 'the dog corps"
their training quarters being at that strong
| hold. The dogs are huge animals, mainly of
| the staghound and collie breed, crossed with
the English bull dog. To strangers they are
very ferocious and every day they are shown
soldiers in German uniform and are expected
TO fly at them, being at first withheld by a
strong chain. This lesson being thoroughly
learned the dogs are taken to the outposts
near one of the small redoubts that environ
the city, and each one is attached to a senti-
mel. Sometimes a sham German creeps uD
)r saunters along The dogs fly after him
with such zest that, as a rule, the soldier has
10 take to the nearest tree for safety.
The English officer appeared to be much
pleased with the result, but was very scep-
-ical when the Frenchmen claimed that they
could send the dogs from the outpost to ad-
'unced patrols with messages and receive an
answer in due course of time. The English
nan doubted the statement to such a point
3 to lead to an animated discussion, and a
wager for a punch and cigars, the exreri-
ment TO be made on the following morning.
The French officers came to the rendezvous
m carts especially constructed for the trans
1ortation of the dogs and wrote their mes
ages and attached them to the collar in a
mall pocketbook. The Englishman looked
m with aquizzical smile and appeared highly
unused, when, under instructions, the dogs
:2rted OFT at run 10 various points on the
dvanced line where were stationed the
patrols
The hounds ran true for couple Of hun
!rd yards, when, TO the astonishment of the
'rcachmcn, they all broke OFF at a tangent

THE ROCKIES.

Around the camp fires glow,
wild, dreamy, clear yet low,
stats the gay song from crag 70 crag ascending
Along the mountains bold,
Through still airs keen and cold,
Daap voices with the rivers music blending.
By laughing waves beset
The shores vexed pebbles fret,
While the bright stream, its flashing spume di
v.dug,
In ripples plays awhile
Around each rocky isle,
Then slips away into the shadows gliding.
Now, as our flown words fade
Through murlzy glen and glade,
thrillish hush on every stirred heart falling,
Comes silent calm, profound,
Save for some forest sound
The gales sigh, VOLTS cry, or in amorouscaning,
The lonely elk's low note,
Now near and now remote.
Like weird poliau tones in distance dying.
Sweet as a lovers Lutte,
Soft as a low breathed flute
The cooing echoes from the rocks replying.
Who would not ever be
Thus careless, wild and free,
All life by day, through long nights soundly
sleeping,
As trustingly we rest
On loving Natures breast.
Famed by the night wind wings about us sweep
ing?
How lovely is nights noou
Lit by the silver moon
Through leafy waving branches softly cleaning
While the calm stars above,
Like bright eyes looking love
Gaze pensiye down upon us fondly dreaming

A Chinese olncin! Dinner.

There were three Chinese entertain
ments at Marking. | tiecribe only
the at the generals yaman, as be-
ing the most distinctive:
Above the .dais in the room was a
culver of paper eases, varying in
length. 1t was explained that when
the general sent tn Il prisoner a long
1T meant a death sentence; when he
sent Il short one it meant bastinadoing.
In the center of tie room a table, with
out cover. was set, with bowls, chop
sticks, and the tiay Chinese cups. At
the last moment it was found that
knives and forks were forgotten, and
Captain Miller sent 10 the ship for
some of his own. When they came the
dinner-at which Captain Miller, the
general, the tiotai, the interpreter.
and j We're present -commenced.
There were bowls for the captain and
me, but only cilopsticks and short por-
eeiain spoon for the others. A large
bowl was put in the center of the table,
into which the general put a spoon,
and. rising as ne did 50, deposited some
of the contents in our bowls. We rose
TO acknowledge the courtesy. After we
were helped, the others helped them
selves with their spoons and conveyed
the contents to their mouths. This
process continued through an innAmer-
able number of disl,es-bird's nests,
sharks fins. sharks lips, bamboo
shoots. etc There were Chinese wines
supplied by attendants who sedulously
filed the cups. At intervals the atten.
dant brought to the guests a damp
cloth with which the faces were moist
enetl- Pipes aud eigatettes were smoked
between the courses. | noticed at the
Union Club in New York and the
Bohemian in San Francisco the same
custom prevailed. After a time the
table became much disfigured with the
various grayies which dropped from
the spoons and eilopsticks, and occa-
sionaily d servant wiped it with a cloth.
The dinner won't on through two hours,
and new bowls of fresh meats and
soups seemed neYer-ending. / finally

two homes which, l sometimes visit.
In N the walls and ceilings are beau
tifally papered. the carpet u very
pretty brussels, the curtains expensive
lace, the furniture plush covered, and
yet, were it not Tor the sweet little life
which looks out to me from a pair of
eyes so lately from Heaven descended

L should feel strangely starved and
homesick every moment | spend there,
in spite of true friendship for its
owners. Whyp Because there is no
true individual and higher life ex,
pressed there. True, there is a piano,
but the music. what little is, is piled
up so primly that one can see at a
glance it is never used. There are
no books except two or three elegantly
bound ones, which lie on the marble
topped table. The one engraving, in
its handsome frame, is rather pretty,
but utterly powerless to convey one
idea of inspiration or repose, as the
eye returns to it again and again., for

articles of beauty in bric-a-brac, ETC.,
which most women of refinement feel
they must have, though it be at the
sacrifice of personal adornment or

wallis are covered with paper which
probably cost about one-third as much
as the first, its neutral color being re-

ttra is in odd pieces. In place of a
sofa is a cheap but comfortable lounge,
there is a large rattan rocker, two or
three upholstered rockers of different
but harmonious c%oiors; the commodious
table is covered by an ample spread of
maroon and upon it always may be
found the last number of the best
magazines or the newest book; upon
the walls are many e~ngravings and
etehings in the cheapest, simplest wood
frames, with broad mats, but each
possessing some peculiar merit or in-
terest to which tbs mind returns with
pleasure; the old square piano is al
WAYS open and the welLworn music
and song books show tie result of use
of many wears. In short, the refined,
intelligent owners have succeeded in

lives to these objects with which they
are daily surrouHded, and the result is

STILL THEY COME.
The Columbia Herald Solid For
Francis.

We clip the following from the
Columbia Herald, NJ of the most
influential papers in the State:
It has been generally conceded
that, of the candidates named for
Governor, Judge Norton was the
best equipped His great natural
ability, his sterling integrity, and
his faithful public service, includ-
ing several years in Congress, and
some twelve years upon the Su-
preme bench, rendered him both
fit and ripe for the office. His
withdrawal alters the situation and
reduces the choice to those who are
actively in the field, or likely to be.
The candidates are David R.
Francis, John M. Glover, and J.
r. Claiborne, of st. Louis; Gov. A.
P. Morehouse. and Congressman
A. M. Dockery and NJ. l.. Clardy.
Upon the whole, this is a very
good field to select from, and the
voters could ego it blind'' without
much danger of a mistake. The
truth is, that any man of good COM
mon sense, honesty, and firmness
will make a good Governor. 1t is
not hard to find men of this kind
in a great State like Missouri, al
though, unfortunately, they are not
always found. But, as the field
stands, David r. Francis presents
the best qualifications for the Of
flee. He brings a record of a sue
cessful administration as Mayor OF
st. Louls-a position involving
even greater responsibility and
higher qualities than does the Gov
ernorship of the State, and to such
record ofservice he adds aprevious
career in business rarely paral-
leled in energy, sagacity and
achievement. The fact that he is
being opposed by the worst ele.
ments of the city is making him
friends daily in the country, con,
vincing, as it does, the people that
he is both courageous and con.
scientious.
