Canine Sagacity.

The following story comes from
Stone Lake, Ind: ga gentleman
living on the banks of the lake has
a small spaniel dog that is the pet
of the family. A neighbor owned
a vicious English bulldog that
seemed anxious to fight and kill
the little spaniel at any opportun-
lty. Strenuous efforts were made
to keep the dogs apart, but through
the thoughtfulness of some little
children the dogs met on the banks
of the lake and the little spaniel
began his fight for life. He adroit.
ly managed to get the bulldog to
the edge of the water and then got
HIM where he had to swim. After
this display of intelligence his bat.
tie was q good deal more than hall
won, for he had the bulldog at his
mercy and in a very short time
had him drowned"

JEFF POLLARD, of st. Louis, is
prominently mentioned as a csndi-
date for Lieutenant Governor of
Missouri. Last Sundays Republic
says: among the prospective st.
Louis candidates for state office is
Judge jeff Pollard, who is being
urged by his friends to make the
race for the Lieutenant Governor
ship. The Judge is recognized as
one of the rising young men of st.
Louis, and a Democratic stump
speaker and worker OF great force.
He has distinguished himself In
several Democratic conventions as
a representative of his ward and as
an able speaker in his canvass
through North Missouri in the
last Gubernatorial campaign. He
received a complimentary vote for
Railroad Commissioner in the last
state convention, and In 1888 made
a gallant race for the Legislature
in the Third Representative Dis
trict, running several votes ahead
of the national ticket. He has
filled various public offices OF trust
with ability, and his friends pre-
dict for him a bright future.

The Norman RieyeHst.

Belva Lockwood was the first
woman to ride a bicycle in Wash
ington and she was ridiculed and
jeered by the multitude, and the
regulation anathema of ''unsexed
woman" was hurled after her by
the old fogies of conservatism.
Now Mrs. Lockwood can ride the
length of Pennsylvania avenue and
not a masculine head would be
turned. Custom makes laws as in
exorable as those of the Medes
and Persians. A bicycle tourna-
ment has just been held, and the
wives and sweethearts OF the boys
rode their bicycles beside them,
and the crowds looked on and ap.
proved. The world edo move,n
and the wheels help it along.

IT is a common thing for some
preachers to make 'sa few remarks
in the form of prayer" but Rev.
Mr.. Stevenson, of Waterloo, Iowa,
seems to have beaten the record on
Sunday when he assaulted the
throne of grace. He began by
thanking the Lord for the action of
Governor Merriam of Minnesota in
preventing the Hail. itzsimmors
prize fight and he prayed for
strength for the Governor of Ten
nessee in adjusting the mining
troubles, after which he said, apol-
ogetically: "But this may be poll
tics, and, o Lord, if thou dost not
know anything about politics, and
if We are not to pray for politics,
make the politicians pray them
selves" Naturally enough this
gag brought down the house and
the applause of the more devout
brethren was long and loud.
Probably MI. Stevenson will take
the stump for the Republican par.
tv this fall.

Missouri at the Worlds Fair.

The newly appointed State
Board of Worlds Fair Commits
sioners will meet at Jefferson City
August 4 to organize. The build
ing will probably be put up with.
out much delay. The board will
offer a prize for the best design and
the competition will be open to all
Missouri architects. 1t is probable
that the board will see fit to pro-
vide that all the material used in
the building shall be of Missouri
origin. The building will cost
about $5O, 600, and this will leave
100000 to be expended on the ex-
hibit that will be collected by the
State,

No MAN who can earn his own
subsistence, no matter how badly
wounded, should either ask or re-
ceive a pension until his capacity
for self-support shall have been de-
stroyed. A movement is on foot
among the old soldiers of civil war
looking to the reform of the PEN
sion laws in this direction. Major
Foote, of the census bureau, who
originated the plan, is confident
that the genuine veterans Of the
war will join hands with him in a
sincere effort to check the frightful
and scandalous extravaganza of the
pension bureau and to establish
a just and patriotic system of pen
sions based upon total disability.
