SHE KILLED THE DOG.
The Unerring Aim Of a Woman In Throw
Ing Il Stone-The Dog Was Saucy and
Self-Satisfled.
lDirminpham Are-Herald.l

They say that a woman can not throw a
stone accurately, but that was disproved
in this town yesterday afternoon. A party
Of ladies were standing on Avenue c, and
they noticed small dog trotting along
on the other side Of the street. When
the dog arrived at a point directly oppo-
site the party, he stopped, and squattine
on his headquarters, deliberately looked
at the ladies. The little dog looked un-
commonly saucy. He blinked his eyes,
lolled out his tongue, frisked his tail, and
gave general evidence of satisfaction
seeming to say, in his own dog-goned
way, "Ain't l daisy, ladies? Do you
catch on to my style? Amt l a swell
dog?''
The dog wore most provoking air. He
seemed so sclf-satisfed, SO like many men
one sees on the street corners and else
where, that he really aroused the ami
mostly Of the ladies as they waited there
OH the street.
"l'd like to hit that dog with rock"
one of the party said, and stopping, she
picked up small stone, and with her left
hand (womcn always throw with their left
hnnds), she let drive at the dog. The
stone sailed into the air, and coming
down, it struck the dog on top Of the
head, killing him instantly. The lady was
profoundly astonished, as were her trends.
Nay, more! She was shocked and grieved
as she stood there and watched the little
brute lying prone upon the sidewalk as

We were sitting out on the front piazza
the other afternoon, waiting for sudden
shower to cease, when the conversation,

of departed notabilities. "This is rather
an interesting souvenir" said young
lady, taking her watch from her pocket,
and holding before our eyesa charm that
was attached TO it by short chain. At
first thought it was tennis prize, the
young lady being champion player of
that game; but ON closer examination
saw that it was an antique of some sort.

A Memorable Hour.
[St. Louis Globe Democrat. !

The Globe-Democrat recently gave a
very interesting explanation of why an
exception is made in the case Of four in
the Roman numerals on the face of a
clock or watch, that hour being indicated
by iii, instead Of ", as would he ex-
pected. There is another popularity
about the figure four which is often noted !;
namely, that OH imitation watches used as
signs, the minute hand is always just
above it. This is because that on every
sign of this kind in the United States the
hands indicate that ii is eighteen minutes
past eight. This is pnrely arbitrary, and
if the ordinary trade conditions existed
come slight variations woeld be inevita-
BILE. As, however, there is but one firm
which makes q speciality of watch dunn
mics, if indeed there is more than one
that makes them ut all. it is easy to un-
.derstand the uniformity. Certain it is
that for the last twenty years every
sign used has its hands set to the hour
and minute of Lincoln's assassination,
8:$8. There are few very old signs in
existence with the hands indicating 1920,
but they have a distinctly before the
war aspect, and the lettering is very
pale and indistinct.

brand of wine. immediately that brand

Dixle's Popularity.
TSt. Louis Globe Democrat.


1t is remarkable how strong 4 South
ern Sentiment exists among the theatre
going population of New York, if their
musical tastes are an indication of their
sectional preferences. If | were asked
the most popular tune an orchestra
could play should unhesitatingly say it
is Dixie" That song, or the orchestral
arrangement of it is appauded more whom
it is performed than either "Yanky Doc
die" or any other of our distinctly patri-
otto songs. 1t is not n unusual occurrence
for an audience to break into the rendi-
ton of mcdly of patriotic songs to APP
plaud "Dixic" and pass the other features
with scant recognition.
1t may be that the southerncrs, who al
ways mark it's rendition, are more DEM
onstrative than their northern brethren
and make up in enthusiasm what they
like in numbers, or that Dixie has more
Of the elements of n real musical compo-
'sition than any of the others, which is
the case in my opinion. Whatever the
cause, it is noteworthy fact that Dixie
is more generally applauded than any of
our national airs. AS an evidence of
"Dixie's" musica, value, once heard
Charles Gounod, the great composer say,
after he had listened to medley of Amer

ago, that it was the only feature of the

The Senatorial Contest.

Local politics are waxing warm. Con-
ventions are meeting throughout this sec
ton now to name the candidates of the
respective parties for the upper and lower
House of the State Legislature. The
naming of Farmers Alliance candidates
in the various counties has introduced n
new factor in the contest. In many in
stances coalitions are being formed by the
Farmers Alliance with one or the other
of the old parties, but there is strong
element in the Alliance which is. opposed
to any coalition, and is in favor of fighting
it out with the old parties. This element
was in a large majority at the Alliance
convention held here on Friday last to
nominate candidate for the State Senate
from the Second Senatorial district.
Strong efforts were made on the one hand
to secure the endorsement of this con-
ycntion for the Republican nominee, who
is q member of the Alliance; on the other
hand many Democrats were anxious for
the convention to nominate DIR. W. N.
Mcneil, and promises were made OF en-
dorsement by the Democratic convention,
which meets in this city on the Both in
slant.
BY pursuing either of these courses the
choice of the Alliance would have gone
into the fight with fine prospects OF sue
cess, and would doubtless have carried the
day. AS it is, however, the real fight will
be between Senator Mills, the choice of
the Republican convention, and the Dem
ocratic candidate yet to be chosen. The
Alliance threw away its only chance Of
success, and now it is practically "not in
it,"
The Democrats, if a good nomination is
made on the 30th, ought to win by good
majority. Craft, the Alliance candidate,
will draw but few votes from the Demo-
cratic ranks. He has heretofore been
strong Republican, and still leans towards
that party, MS is evidenced by his state
ment made before the convention which
nominated him, that if he were not an
Alliance man he would he Republican.
The Democrats are, therefore, in good
position to win this Fall, if common pru
dcnce is exercised in choosing Standard
bearer,

/. BLOWING OUT A CANDLE.
Some Novel Tricks That Any One Can Per-
form In the Home Circle.
ISL Iouis post.Dispatch.,

[St Louis -Dispatch.1
There are many ways of blowing out a
candle. and there are ways candle can he
placed so that it can not easily be extin-
guished with puff. The most startling,
though, perhaps the most dangerous way
of putting out the fame is by quick,
strong, inhalation Of the breath short
distance from the candle. 1t will appear
as if the fame had been literally swal-
lowed. To learn the trick 1t is first nec-
essary to learn the proper distance from
the face to the candle, but this can he
done after one or two trials.
Another pretty trick with a lighted can
die can he done to show the peculiar way
air currents willtravel. Place the candle
on table, and in front of it, and few
inches away, put an ordinary bottle. A
variation can he made by using two bot
Ties instead Of one. Place the bottles side
by side, about quarter Of ali inch apart.
Right hehind the space between the two
bottles place the lighted candle. If the
differences are properly adjusted they can
be SO arranged that it is impossible to blow
out the candle Ivy blowing through the
space between the bottles. There is an
other trick which is likewise as interest
ing. Take a round disk of card board, or
one of the common tin shades, and hold
it between your mouth and the candle.
Then blow right Mt the card, and you will
find that tho fame of the candle will bend
toward you and the card board, instead of
the direction you are blowing.

His First Check-Book.
New York World.

"
A Chicago actor says it was a great sight
to see the reverence with which NJ. B.
Curtis (Saml of Posen), regarded his first
chcck-book Wealth came to him sud-
denly, and, after he had opened bank
account, he took occasion to display his
check-book on every opportunity, and
would have paid cabmen with his checks
had they been willing to accept them. On
the first day he had the check book he
went to the theater in the evening and
dressed for his part. Suddenly in the
middle Of the first act, he happened to
think that his precious book was in his
street coat in his dressing With a
bound he left the stage, greatly to the
justification of the other players, and Sc
cured the book, putting it in his stage
coat. So great was his ignorance that he
feared if his check-book was stolen all
his money in the bank would go with it,
and lie at once had special pocket made
for it in his stage clothes, carrying it on
his person for safe-keeping thereafter.
