attendance at the meeting to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce next Tuesday evening, at
s o'clock, for the purpose of organizing q

interest that has been awakened. Many prom
inent business men have promised their aid and
encouragement, and the ladies are particularly
interested In Portland and other cities the
most prominent society ladies are members and
ardent supporters of similar societies. and it is
quite evident that the women of Seattle will
give the movement their hesrty encouragement

terested in the humane treatment of dumb ami

lowing encouraging letter has been received
from Mrs. Ella Higginson, the well-known

"Hy Dear Sir: 1t was with pain and indigna-
ton that read q few days ago an account in q
Seattle paper of prize dog fight near that city,
in which one dog was SO horribly mutilated that
his owner was compelled to kill him. As the
names OF the owners were given, wondered III
there was not q society in Seattle, or at least a
law, that could reach and punish such brutality
to one of Gods nobiest and most faithful ami
mails Therefore it was with deepest pleasure
that read in Seattle paper yesterday that a
movement was on foot for organizing humane
society and that you were one OF those
prominently interested. My sincere interest in
this noble cause Will be, / am sure, ample
excuse for this congratulatory letter. Mr.. Eliot
or Mr.. Shanafan will be glad 10 give you all in
formation in their power. They have worked
faithfully for years without remuneration in
this cause. 1 inelose an article on this subject,
recently, after obtaining some information from
the Portland society. ! am member of that So
ciety, but hope TO join yours also and trust that
may soon be able to belong to one in my own
city. Thanking you for the sake OF all dumb
things on earth, am sincerely yours,
ELLA HIGGrNsoy."
The society will see that all existing laws rela-
tive to the humane treatment of animals are en-
forced. and viii secure other needed legislation
where present laws are deficient. An appiica-

A GOrpeOuS Curtain.

The curtain at the English Opera house
is one of it's sights. AS it hangs closed it
looks like u magnificent pair of golden
gates. 1t was made by Messrs. Helbronner,
of Oxford street. 1t measures thirty-three
feet high and is forty-eight feet wide. A
special wareroom had to be hired for it to
be made in. The base is gold colored silk,
OF which has been worked an applique of
a darker tone of the same color. The ap-
plique-a tlorated adaptation of fruit and
foliage, pineapples and pomegranates, cor
ventionally treated-is of the Renaissance
period, and is from a design by the archi-
tect, ingeniously carried out by Messrs.
Helbronner.
The applique is outlined by a fine cord of
silk; a fringe with tassels decorates the foot
of the curtain. The silk is about "a yard wide
and there are between five and six hun
dred yards of it, and more han thirty gross
of cord have been used in the curtain. The
silk was made in Lyons and the cord and
fringe in London. The lining is of yellow
sateen, and the substance of the curtain is
obtained by layers of wadding. The valance
is also applique work in bright reds, blues,
yellows and browns, and has been carried
out by the same embroiderers.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Worrying Ticket Sellers.

"What are you doing that for?" asked
the writer of a downtown elevator boy,
who was industriously hacking the edges
of a nickel with a sharp knife.
"Puttin' up n job on one of lie t. rakes,"
he replied, as he started the elevator with
a velocity that doubled up the knees of a
puny looking MAJ who wanted to 60 to the
top floor.
"Who are the II rakes?"
He left two girls on the second floor, and
blew a chewed wad at Il messenger boy on
the third; then he answered.:
"De rakes are de fellows wat pull in de
coin at de elevated station windows. Dey
tink der mighty slick in maxim change,
and de lazy way dey slide it out makes you

A CHAPTER OF QUEER ACCIDENTS.
Perplexities of n Nearsishted Man Who
Left His Glasses at Home.

80"
A nearsighted bookkeeper carelessly left
his eyeglasses at home the other morning,
and had a half days experience that he
will not forget or care to repeat as long as
he lives. He was in a great hurry to catch
the car, and rushed out of the house shout
ing farewell to his wife as he passed
through the door. There was a large sized
puddle i'll front of his residence, and the
first step that he took off the curbstone
was directly into it. That utterly ruined
the polish or one shoe, and imagining that
he saw Il firm place ahead of him he made
a leap for that and went into the mud
with the other foot.
lie narrowly escaped being run over by a
team hitchcd to Il brewery wagon, and al
most missed the rail of the car as it passed
by him. AS he scrambled to the platform
he trod heavily upon the pet bunion of a
stout old gentleman, who uttered a howl
of anguish, and turning to apologize
knocked Il dinner basket out of the hand
of an office boy going to his work. When
the conductor came to collect his fare he
offered him a three cent piece and then a
nickel penny. BY this time those who
were near looked pityingly upon him. He
searched through his pockets for his
glasses, and to his great annoyance discov-
cred that they were missing. There was
no help for it, and he decided to keep on to
the Office and send a boy back for them.
When the car arrived at the corner of
Bank and Superior streets he FASTENED to
allght and almost embraced II stern female,
who gave him IL look that would have pet
riiied him could he have seen it. He raised
his hat and begged her pardon for the col
lision, and as he did so the conductor bent
forward to assist the lady onto the car and
knocked the hat out of the nearsightcd
mans hand to the ground. The latter
peered blindly forward in the direction in
which he thought the hat might lie, but
could not discover it. The conductor
jumped off the car, and picking up the hat
restored it to it's owner.
The ~bookkeeper reached his office with
out any further accident. He sent the
office boy to his residence for his glasses
and sat dow at his desk to work rs best
he could until the messenger returned. In
five minutes he had written with red ink
upon the wrong book, and as he reached
for the eraser he knocked over another ink
bottle, and the contents thoroughly satu-
rated a pile of statements that he had spent
the entire previous day in making out.
While attempting to stop the flow of ink
he daubed it upon his coat and cuffs. and
finally sat down in the corner, lit a cigar,
and painted the air blue until the glasses
came with the messenger. His hurry to
catch the street car cost him about TWENTY
five dollars, to say nothing of wear and
tear OF nervous energy.-Cleveland Leader.

SOME LIVE @ G. NOTES.
A MAN WHO CHANTS THE PRAISES
OF THE CLEVELAND BAY,

The Only Pure Breed of Coach Horses in
the World-The Oldest Breed in Eng.
land Except the Observation-Disclosures,
Bay. with Black Points-A Cross.
OF all known breeds Cleveland bays
combine more good points and good
characteristics in Il manner to constitute
a symmetrical and perfect whole than
any other.
They are the oldest race of horses in
England except the thoroughbred, hav.
ing beecn distinctly bred since the yea,
1900, consequently they are thoroughly
established. Proof lies in their power
TO reproduce themselves nearly every
time, regardless of the color of the mare.
They are the purest bred of the coach
horses-in fact, they arc the only pure
breed Of coach horses in the world.
They are always bays with black points,
with little or no Ehite. Their ability tc
reproduce their color and characteristics
makes then the most desirable of all the
coach breeds for crossing with our ma,
tive mares, making beautiful matched
pairs i'm easy thing to accomplish.
Their docility makes them the farm.
ers' general purpose horse, suited tc
all kinds of general farm work. driving
and light saddle work.
know Il Cleveland stallion that has
been owned by the same party for 81.
years and only failed to produce a bay
colt once.
The Cleveland bays are 1G to 1G4 hands
high, weighing from 1900 to 1,5OC
pounds. They have fine heads, full,
bright eyes, long, arched necks, oblique
shoulders, deep chests, short backs, long
quarters, strong, cordy legs almost de.
void of hair. and have good feet. They
are possessed of grand, lofty carriage
and superb action, with heads well car.
ried, and every appearance denotes ac.
tivity and strength combined in a man
ner not found in other breeds.
The origin Of the Cleveland bay is in
volved in a cloud Of ~obscurity, but his,
tory tells us they originated in Cleve.
land, Yorkshire, England. Various the.
orists tell us they are a progressive ad.
mixture of blood Of the racehorse bred
upon the native mares of the district Of
Cleveland, while others say they are q
remnan; of the old Roman war horse.
For generations the Cleveland bay has
Jeen looked upon as pure bred.
The Cleveland bay, crossed on ou1
native Black Morgan, Or trotting bred
mares, is the most desirable of our native
crosses for raising carriage or coach
horses. We have known them crossed
on Hambletonian mares that could trot
in 2:45.
At present, when almost every one il!
raising some kind of heavy draft horst
or other, there is big opening for gen.
eral purpose and coach horses, and well
mated good coach or carriage teams out
sell all others.-E. V. K. Hopkins lr
Western Agriculturist.

CHESTER WHITE.

ment. 1t is Il large, strong hog, of Wig
orous and hardy constitution. The sows
are immensely prolific, producing SOME
times seventeen pigs at a litter. Harris
also recommends the Chester White as
n of the best crosses with the refined
English breeds, such as the Essex, Berk-
shire and Yorkshire. The cross will pro-
duce prime animals, having the fine meat
qualities of the English breeds and the
strong constitution and size Of the Ches-
ter White. The Chester Whites are
animals of quiet habits and quickly fat
tened.
The illustration shows perhaps the
best form of this breed. The specimen
in the picture was 10 months old when
she had her portrait taken. Market ami
mails of this breed, narrowed in March or
April, will weigh 200 to $40 pounds
when slaughtered in November. This
is exactly what is wanted in the hog
business of these times-early maturity
and quick sales. When allowed to grow
to their largest size and greatest fairness
the Chester Whites will reach a weight
d from 600 to 300 pounds. One advantage
Of the Chesters is that they can be fed
and fattened to kill when young s well
as to be allowed to grow to maturity.
And M disadvantage mentioned by
Harris is that the breed is not yet long
enough established to always present
uniform points, so that the breeder who
buys one Of them must remember he
represents not a family go much as him
self, and he may present points of his
remote scrub ancestry, such as large lop
ears, slab sides and a capacity for racing.
South Dakota has already organized a
state poultry association which is to give
Rpouluy exhibition this winter.
