CANINE AFFECTION,
Some Observations on Mans Unselfisb
Friend.

ODSeEVhGlOnB Oh ManB On6elnSh
Friend.
1t has often been mooted as a vexed
question why all men of genius or
greatness are so fond of dogs. The
reason is not far to seek. Those who
are great or eminent in any way find
the world full of parasites, toadies,
liars, fawners, hypocrites; the incor-
ruptible candor, loyalty, and honor OF
the dog are to such like water in a
barren place to the thirsty traveller
The sympathy of your dog is unfailing
and unobtrusive If you are sad, SO is
he; and if you are merry, none is SO
willing to leap and laugh with you as
he. For your dog you are never poor
for your dog you are never old; whether
you are in a palace or cottage he does
not care; and fall you as low as you
may, you are his providence and his
idol still. The attachment of the dog to
man outweighs and almost obliterates
attachment in him to his own race.
There is something shocking to
our high opinion of him in the
callousness with which he will
sniff at the stiff body of brother-dog;
he will follow his master to the grave,
and sometimes die on it; but the loss of
his own kind leaves him unmoved. /
never knew more than one exception to
this; it was, however, a noteworthy
one. l had two puppies of the Molus-
sus, commonly called the Maremma
breed; large, white. very beautiful dogs,
with long hair, varying in size between
Newfoundland and collie; the old Greek
race of watch-dogs, to which, quite GER
tainly, Argos belonged. These puppies.
named Pan and Paris, lived together;
fed, played and slept together, and
were never separated for a moment for
seven months. In the seventh month
Paris fell i'll of distemper and died.
Now, by my own observation can de-
clare that Pan nursed his brother as
assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, cleaned
him, brought him tempting bits to eat:
did all that he could think of, and when
his brother at last lay there cold and
unresponsive to his efforts, his grief
and astonishment were painful to see.
From that time be ceased to play; from
being very lively dog he grew grave
and sad; he had wistful, wondering
inquiry in his eyes which it was pathetic
to behold; and although he lived for
many years after, and was happy as
dog can be, he never recovered his
spirits; he had buried his mirth in the
grave of Paris. Something was lost
for him with his brother which he
never regained. This is the only in.
stance have known OF dogs love for
another dog .-QRidh ip North AmeFf

"FACTs IN A NUTSHELL"
Wealth Attained in the Culture of the
Pecan Nut.

Wealth Attained in the Culture of the
Pecan Nut.
Facts are stubborn things, if they are
in a nutshell, but when one acre in
pecans will produce, at one cent per
pound, ten times as much profit as one
acre will in cotton at ten cents per
pound, facts are all right out of nut
she'll. When ten acres in pecans, sell
ing at only ten cents per pound, will
sum more net profit than can be had
from one thousand acres in cotton, sell
ing at ten cents per pound, here is an
other fact worth money to the man
who will have the good sense to profit
by it.
Another Fact.-When a pecan grove
of only fifty acres in the Texas thin
shell pecan, ten years from the nut, will
produce more income than can be made
by bank with $780, 900 capital earning
10 per cent. When it will more than
double that at fifteen years and con-
tinue for generations, is it not worth
investigating?
Another Fact.-When a man bv the
expenditure of only $3.50 can plant a
pecan grove of fifty acres, which, at ten
years of age, will earn him six hundred
dollars an acre, increasing to more than
double that when fifteen years old,
earning fortunes for his children, his
children's children, their children's chill
dren, to the twelfth generation, is a fact
worthy of your earnest attention. If.
when you fully investigate it, you find
that for you there is no merit in it, it
cost you nothing to look into.
When California has lands in oranges.
almonds, walnuts, prunes, olives and
raisin grapes, which, fifteen years ago.
were dull sale at $40 per acre, and now
paying good ten per cent, interest on
such lands at $4,000 to $1,000 per acre,

RUNoRs are again rife that Mrs. John

E Lemon, the millionaire pension shark.
A Washington dispatch states that when
Mrs. Logan sailed for Europe some
weeks ago she is said to have given a hint
of her purpose to q few friends. And
now Lemon himself has gone to Europe
and before sailing he made no secret of
his intention to join Mrs. Logan's party
and travel about the continent with them.
The names of Mrs. Logan and Capt
Lemon were linked for matrimony some
months ago and idle tongues can now
see only q marriage abroad in their

At the time of the report both entered q
strong denial. But now there are great
many who believe the report to be true.

Thurman on Curr. mt Politics

The venerable Judge Thurman was re-
Gently interviewed by proxy by the VIII
Transport, (Pa) Sun upon political q7es
tions. The proxy was Allen W. Thur
man, son Of the great statesman, who,
speaking for bis father, said:
While father has actually retired from
the field of politics, he vet retains the
greatest interest in what trapspires in he
world of affairs. just now he is much
concerned over the outcome OF the con-
test, so bssely brought into the demo-
cratic party, for the nomination for gov
ernor in this state Governor Campbell
has been forced into fight for his rights
by what may appropriately be called
hosts Of darkness in Quo democratic pol
itics. He is not being sntagonized by the
party, but by clique Of ringsters and
wreckers led and dominated by man
whose motto is now, and always has been,
rule or ruin. mean John r. Mclean.
This man, by his interruptions use OF
money and men. has been the evil genius
of the party. He cares absolutely moth
ing for the success OF the party or its
principles, and by his course had led it
more than once to the verge OF ruin.
His opposition to Governor Campbell
now and his urgency of the candidacy of
Lawrence Neal are solely and alone to
further his own selfish ends and pur,
poses.
He cares nothing for Neal; be cares
less than nothing for the party, but be-
cause he finds in James z. Cnmpoell q
fearless, honorable man, who will not
submit 10 his dictstion, he endeavors TO
use Neal, as the monkey did the cat, to
draw chestnuts from the Goals for him
self.
The masses Of the democratic party of
this state are sick and tired of this state
of things. These fights are al
ways sprung. you will find if you care
to look the matter up. in the years
preceding presidential contest.
And what does this result in?
Ohio goes into the national democratic
convention with her delegation torn and
split by internal discussions, originated
by this CLIQUE. and absolutely shorn of its
prestige. That is the history of our pol
itics for many years past, and as / say
our people are tired Of it. The party
delegation has no influence in national
councils, and should Cleveland. or any
one else be an acceptable nominee, we
are SO split up by internal and local bit
terness, that Ohio goes to the dogs al
election time. A long course of this as
proved too much for the party's patience,
ard Mr.. Neal will very forcibly and pain
fully realize this when our state conven-
ton meets.
G. Jvernor Campbell viii be nominated
on Inc first ballot. Mr.. Neal will have 9
few of the delegates, but so few, and the
sentiment will be crystallized so strongly.
that the governors nomination will be
made unanimous before the roll call gets
half down the counties.
Mr.. Thurman tavors the nomination oil
Cleveland next year and thinks that either
Ex-Governor Gray or Governor Campbell
should be on the ticket with him.
