to tell how much he disliked dogs and
how much pleasure he had in fighting
and conquering them. He allowed that
some OF the tribe might be useful in
one way and another, but their value as
watch dogs, he said, was simply in the
noise they made. There never was q
dog, at least he had never seen dog,
so ferocious that he couldn't overcome
him barehanded.
Perhaps" said one Of the listeners,
you'd like to try it on now. and show
Us how you do it
II don't know; might" replied the
man "Have You got dog that's par
ticularly good ON the chaw?"
mo, he amt particularly good, but
he's out there under the shed, and you
might show US how to conquer him by
getting into the wagon where he is.
Still, wouldn't try it if l was you.
You'll get hurt, unless you kill him.
and, of course, you're not to do that"
Kill him? No, wouldn't XIII him
If you wanted me to. Didn't say I'd
do it barehanded?"
That's what you SAID, and I'd like to
see it done, If it could be, but you'd
better not try it."
''I'll bet you two dollars can do it
and neither me nor the dog'u get hurt.
You put your dog on the seat and I'll
get up and sit alongside of him"
So the money was staked with the
bartender. and, after couple of
drinks all around. everybody started
for the dog. Going around tho corner
Of the building, the shed was seen to be
full Of wagons and the one with the
dog was conspicuous because the dog
lay curled up on the seat. It was a
bright-looking shepherd. and as the
men lounged around the corner he
raised his head for look and then put
it down on his paws again. At that
the owner Of the dog turned to the dog
tanner to say: There's the rig"
The man, however, was already on
his way to the shed, and he went in
most astonishing form. His hat was
cooked on the back of his head, his
eyes were half closed, and his mouth
was open. while he swayed and reoled
from side to side as q man does hen
almost too drunk to stand. He was
talking to himself in maudlin way,
and just before reaching the shed be-
gan to sing in a thick voice When
half way through a stanza OF molly
Darling" he stumbled against wagon
adjoining that holding the dog with
slam that made things rattle. The
spectators looked on in amazement,
but tho dog lay still, with his eyes on
the man. Then the mar, still singing,
climbed awkwardly in over the hind
wheel Of tho wagon he had fallen
against, reeled forward, stumbled
against the seat and fell heavily into
the next wagon between tho dash
board and the seat, where the dog lay.
There he remained for . moment, talk
ing as a drunken man might do, and
then, singing as before, began to strug-
gle up to the seat. A minute later he
was On the seat. the dog having first
edged over to mako room for him and
then jumped down into the wsgonbed.
"Well!'' said the owner. how did
you know ever got into my wagon
drunk%'
II didn't know IT," was the reply;
''but did know that dogs won't bite
man when he's reeling drunk"

TaH LATEST IN INSURANCE.
It is Proposed to Guarantee Men Their
Salaries a gsinst Loss OF Work.

II ID PROPOSED TO 0uarante9 Men Their
Salaries against Loss of Work.
From the Kansas Cttu Times.
A unique plan of insurance, which is new
not only in Kansas City but in this country.
is being given a trial here. Its purpose is
TO insure salaries. and In the event Of the
person insured being unexpectedly thrown
out of employment he receives weekly or
monthly the amount for which he is insured
until he secures another position. II
he fails In that the company will
pay his salary for ak months, but
that is the limit of time for which it
will give a guarantee. One Of the
provisions of the policy is that the insured
will use every little reasonable TO procure en-
ployment. and in this be will be assisted by
the local agents Of the company, which is
a Baltimore concern, inasmuch as the bene-
fit ceases when a new situation is obtained.
Another provision, which is necessary to
prevent the total collapse of the idea, is that
the insured will not wilfully commit acts to
procure his discharge from the position be
occupies. IL is not proposed to insure labor
ing men or mschsnlcs who work for daily
wages, but clerks and salsried officials who
have a stated weekly or monthly compensa-
tion. The rate is l per cent. annually of
the salary Of the insured. and no policy
will be written for less than SIS or on a
basis OF less than 81 500.
This PLAN" said a local insurance man
yesterday, Originated with John ID. Crane,
who was one Of the leaders In accident In
surance this country, and it is backed by
company which has over S2,0O0,O00. The
idea has been a success in Europe, and l
can't see why 1t should not win here. or
course we will have to take precautions
to protect ourselves. We will investigate
every applicants character thoroughly,
and it is probable that a majority
OF them will be refused. The purpose
is 20 protect young men and men
Of family who are dependent on
salaries in cases of loss OF situation by as
signmeDt, consolidation, dissolution and dis
charge, but no benefit will be paid where
man loses his place by any willful act, and
when he is once out OF job no soldering"
will be allowed. He must try reasonably
hard 70 find new place. but If he cannot
bis srlary goes on for six months just the
same. The plan 10 many points is similar
to that Of accident insurance, but of course
precaution will bel taken TO prevent the
company from being swindled."

To the EDITOR, SIR-As my name and
face have appeared In your paper and the
public prints lately. and as many OF my
professional brethren are wondering at 1t,
feel It Only Just that should make an ex-
PLANTATION. The statement published over
my name was made ten years ago, after
long and mature investigation, aud I have
never changed my mind as 70 the facts then
stated. Atthat time | said, as q physician,
that believed Warmers Safe Cure was the
best OF all known preparations for the trou-
Dies It was advocated to cure, and say so
StttL 1 know IL IS considered the proper
thing for the medical profession to decry
proprietary and other advertised articles
but why should they do sol AS the late DIR.
J. G. Holland, writing over his own name in
ScribneT's Monthly, said:
1T ls fact that many OF the best pro-
prietary medicines OF the day are more sue
cessful than many physicians, aud most of
them were first discovered or used IN actual
medical practice; when, however, any per-
son knowing their virtue and foreseeing
their popularity, secures and advertises
them, in the opinion Of the bigoted all
virtue went out Of them"
DR.. Holland was an educated physician,
an unprejudiced observer, aud he spoke
from broad and unusual experience. Pro-
prietary medicines should not be decried
The evidences of their value are over
whelmingly. l have seen patients recover
from gravel, Inflammation of the bladder
and BrIght's disease after using Warmers
Safe Cure, even when all other treatments
had failed.

ment IN the interests of humanity and be-
