 Recent acts passed in relation to dogs are a move in the right direction, and will lessen the number. to some extent, of worthless CUTS, but would have been more effectual with tax of ten dollars on male and female dogs. If people will persist in keeping dogs compel them to keep on their own premises, and under proper re- straint. They are dirty, worthless ami nal, disgusting in their habits, and should not be allowed to run at large on streets or highways.

That was good story which Rev. c. J. K. Jones of Louisville told in Boston pulpit the other day:
 "An alarmist always reminds me of a friend of mine, who was 8 commander at the battle of Round Mountain. It was a At particularly intense part of the action my friend stood beside his horse scanning the field with his glass and directing the troops. He told me it seemed as if the fire of the whole confederacy was cen- tered on him, the bullets flying thick around him.
 Suddenly he heard mimic ball sing ing in the air and he felt something strike his leg. But the occasion was urgent and he kept up his glass. There was another 'ping-g-g' and he felt another strike. And so it continued.
 "The captain at last lifted up his hand and prayed, o, Lord, can go home to my wife and children without either of my legs, but O, Lord, let me go home.'

 "'No, guess not,' replied the orderly.
 Whats the matter? Come, hurry up, I'm wounded
 "'If you want me to help you, come here,' sang out the orderly.
 "'But what's the trouble? Why can't you come here? Don't you see I'm wound, ed and almost dying?'
 "O no, you are not,' sang out the or. derly again.
 "Come here instantly, you rascal, shouted the commander.

 -"Outlines in the background of the late civil war, 1" was the theme of Rev. .C.H. Ricketts, memorial sermon preached last Sunday. He took for his text the 1st verse of the 144th Psalm. While space forbids our giving the whole discourse we must write of 8 few points, which to the vet erans were very real. He spoke of the leaving home, the tented field, the many hard fought battles, the hospitals, the re- turning home of the decimated ranks, and drew the lesson that while God is God of peace rather than of war, yet he per- mitted this war to teach the nation the lesson that we, as nation, are subject to him, and only through him can the bless ings of the nation come.

II. HarrisSASas Mayor OF Glued
CHICAGO, Dec. 2O.-The dem6cracY Of
Chicago was victorious at the polls yes
terday, when mayor was selected for
the unexpired term of the late Carter
Il. Harrison. The new mayor is John
P. Hopkins, and his defeated opponent,
George P. Swift, now mayor ad inter-
i'm, will resume his duties as al
derman. The campaign was short and
sharp. and the contest a close one, as
shown by the following figures: Hop
kins, 112, $50; Swift, Ill, 736; plurality for
Hopkins, 1920. The total vote polled
was 227,3o7. there being two other
candidates in the field. The election
passed off quietly. A democratic ma
Jority of 10000 was expected, and the
small difference between the party
votes indicates that Chicago is not
safely democratic at local election.
The late mayors great personal popu-
larity was responsible for the large.
democratic majority given him last
spring. President Cleveland influenced
the election by recently appointing
Washington Hessing, a close political
friend of Hopkins, postmaster of this
city, and thereby bringing the German
press and voters into line for the DEM
ocratic nominee.
