A Dogs Education.


Given an equal amount of intelligence
at the start, dog which has been well
trained Is worth twice M much as one
hntaught. II Il d. true bf dogs a. OF
ther, Education counts
Do not undertake to teach puppy
unless you have large stock Of patience.
Unless you can control your temper aud
be persistent in teaching your best
course is to buy dog already trained.
But if you want real dog love and con
fdence take. the animal in his puppy
hood, as soon MS he Is able IL feed him
self, and your efforts will be crowned
with greater success than ever comes
otherwise. No dog ever loves any one
so well as his teacher. who represents to
him the wisdom and power of the world.
A dogs world, you know, is very mar
row one.
Suppose yourself the owner Of a pup
py. lie is entirely ignorant Come
here" "Go therel" mean the same to
HIM, since they mean nothing at all. He
must first learn what you want, and
there you must give yourself the first
lesson in patience.
Begin with, "Come hereT' You can
make him understand what this means
by allowing him to see his food in your
hand Teach him nothing else until he
knows perfectly what that means and
obeys it.
When he comes to you pat him and
pet him. Dogs are much like children,
fond of praise and equally fond Of their
own ways. If you tell your dog to come
TO you make him do it. If he never dis
obeys he will never know he can disobey.

Now for new dress. Pick up bit
of claret velvet and have some good
dressmaker resolve it into short round
waist. There are among the winter
left overs remnants OF black silk,
lined or checked with red, which can
be bought cheap, and will make up
beautifully. You, of course, will make
up the skirt, and here is the way to do
it: Put six widths in it, gathering the
front and sides as little as possible, and
lay the back in fan or double box
plait.
Cut four-inch ruffle on the bias
double, not hem, the top, line it, and
sew about the sides and front cores
AS all the dresses drag, and all women
must follow the fashion, look well to
the facing of your skirt. Use for this
purpose some excellent quality of cash
mere or closely woven stuff You will
only need little, and good piece will
save repairs. Buy, too, the best grade
of braid. Rubber is not used for this
purpose, nor is any extender or steel
put in the lining. The drawstrings are
depended on to hold back the frtllness.
Then, too, girl must learn to walk so
as not to throw her skirts from heel to
heel.-New York World.

Worth of Good Breeding.

1t is more to the point to say that it
is important to keep the passages of the
nose perfectly clear, to have the mouth
well closed and mobile. The last thiuk
before leaving privacy should always
be toilette de nez, clearing it by
shifting water of cologne and water,
or spraying with the handy atomizer
which has so many uses for the toilet
besides wasting perfume.
There is no surer way of keeping the
eyes bright than by keeping the nose
clear and breath free. The compound
stupidity of the stuffed head, the YER
mouth eyes and open jaw betoken not
only physical but mental incompe-
tency.
A youth or a man cannot have good
sense if his nasal and breathing ap-
paratus is out of order, and of neces-
sity affecting his brain. Physicians
find that the stupidity of many chill.

Nicknames at College.

With students the range of sobriquets
is wide and varied, a condition due to the
close relations between the nicknamer
and the nicknamed. Some well defined
rules obtain, however, which show there
is some method in this phase of under
graduate madness. Surnames often
carry the same nicknames, although the
persons may not be related, and may be
separated by five or ten years in the time
of their residence at college. For in
stance, Jones, 10, is dubbed Buck"
and the chances are excellent that Jones,
'S9, will receive the same nickname.
Why, no one knows, but it is curious
instance of persistent personality. Again,
nicknames received previously at school
or at home count for naught, for the
collegian is no respccter of traditions
outside of the college world. So Billy
becomes Sister, Jack is transformed
into Freddy" 'Joc" is elevated into

mother was dead
Years passed away, aud both White
and his wife married again. White mar
ried Bedford woman, and there was a
large family Of children Mrs. White
became TIE wife OF Il wealthy busineT
man. The years brought no little oneS
and the mothers heart yearned after her
daughter Lille. She once heard that
White had moved to Bedford, and after
that there were only vague and indefi-
mite rumors. After while she heard
that her daughter was dead and she gave
up hope. Her husband started III bust
Ness IN Kansas City, Mo,
His prospects were flattering and the
pair moved there. A short time ago 4
lady artist engaged in Kansas City met
the former Mrs. White. Learning that
the artist had resided in Bedford, the
mother questioned her and found that
her former husband still lived there.
Much to her joy she learned that her
daughter was not dead, but had grown
to be handsome young woman, had
married and lived in Cleveland. Her
husband shortly afterward was called to
the east on business, and, before going,
promised to look up the daughter.
Arriving in this city he easily found
her, and telegraphed to the anxiously
waiting mother in Kansas City, Lilly
is here" That same afternoon the moth-
sr started FOR Cleveland. She was driven
straight to the residence of Joseph Cow

One may sometimes be made TO see the
uselessness of foolish habit by being
made the victim of similar behavior on
the part of another. Here is an example
of being paid ''in ones own COIN
A landlord in a country village was
busily employed at his desk when a
farmer came to the door and asked to
see him.
The man was asked his GRAND, but he
persisted that he must see the hotel
keeper alone The latter stopped out
side, when the farmer motioned him to
follow and walked around to the rear
of the hotel.
When they were well around the cor
ner the farmer stated that he wished to
buy COW and had heard that the land
lord had one to sell.
"Come on" said the other, and led the
way through u garden, patch of pota-
toes, and after climbing fence, through
a muddy barnyard and into the hotel
barn.
When they were inside the landlord
put his mouth near the others ear and
whispered:

TO THE

my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find ii skin that
would bring you less than 80
cents, and a great many of
them would bring you GO, 70
and even 80 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. It will cost you
only penny for a postal card
on which to send me your adj
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
plethod Of taking off and caring
for your calf skins. will very
gladly mail these to you free,

your name and SO request.
In most of the towns Of Yer

would suggest that a half doz-

ship their skins in quantities OF

LOVE ON A DEATH BOX
A Chicago Driver Takes His Sweetheart
Out Riding on u white Hesrse.


Out Riding on white Hesrse.
Everybody on the West Side knows
Barney Sullivan, He drives a hearse
for Madison street undertaken He
has led more funeral professions to
Calvary in the past two years than any
other driver in the city. About a year
ago he took Maggie Dooley to see Joe
Murphy in "Shaun Rhue," and she is
talking about it to this day. Not long
ago, however, Barney met the Widow
McGraw, whose husband was killed
last summer in the Burlington yards.
His life was insured for $4,000. The
widow put every dollar of it in bank,
and IT'S drawing 6 per cent.
She has an income of ten dollars a
month from the interest and twenty
dollars more from where she cooks
She is employed in the household of a
Prairie avenue gentleman. 1t was at q
wake that Barney became acquainted
with the Widow McGraw. She was
smitten with his red whiskers and win
ming ways. He escorted her home, and
on the way they stopped at a restau-
rant and ate oysters, both raw and
fried. Barney was invited to call,
which he did, and on leaving he told
the widow that it was the most enjoya-
BILE evening he had spent since he caIpa
to America. And it was arranged that
they should go buggy riding Sunday
afternoon if the day was fine.
Barney forgot all about engaging a
rig until 10 o'clock in the morning. He
went to several stables on the West
Side, but could not hire horse for love
or money. The day was delightful,
and everybody was out driving about
the parks and along the boulevards,
He telephoned to Leroy Payne's, and
offered ten dollars for rig for two
hours, but he might just as well have
Offered ten cents. There wasn't horse
or buggy to be had in all Chicago. Al
last resort he hitched up team Of
cream colored horses to white hearse
and started for Prairie avenue.
The hearse rolled noiselessly along
over the granite paved avenues, and
Barney was in the height of his glory
In front of where the widow is EN-
ployed he turned in SO close that the
wheels of the hearse scraped against
the curbstone. People in the neigh
borhood went out on the front steps tt
| inquire who was dead Presently Bar
ney and the widow came out of the
house and mounted the drivers box
AS the hearse rolled away peals G
laughter split the air They drove il
impressive dignity down Drexel boule
ward, and then turned the heads of tn,
cream colored horses toward jackson
park.
Thousands of persons saw the strang,
vehicle circling around the park, bu
they didn't know what to make of it
Barney and the widow paid no atten
ton to the caustic comments mad
upon them from time to time The,
enjoyed the drive as well as they woult
have done in landau; for on the wa,
home it was all planned that the Widow
McGraw will soon change her name t.
