ThE Docs OE WAR.

War has broken out between the whites
and blacks of Potts Camp, Miss, and
the cause of war is said to have been a
dog. 1t is a glorious fact of human ma
ture that hundreds of p~eaceable men will
take up arms in defence of their dogs,
and the man who owns a fighting dog
must be prepared himself to fight.
George Frisbie Hoar, who was in the Old
Mans Home of Lycia at the outbreak of
the Trojan war, says that Helen had nc
more to do with it than he. Menelaus's
Molossian mastiff had interfered with the
personal beauty of Col. Paris Priamoy-
itch's Scythian bull pup Menander Samois
III. Hence war, and hence the talk about
the dogs of war. History repeats itself
Which is why it is so often dull.-[New

most intense interest was felt.
