THE DUDE AND THE DOG
An Incident Showing High Degree OF
Canine IntelIioence

In front of Grace Church yesterday
afternoon 1 was fortunate enough to wit
ness 4 delightful example of canine in
telligence, says a writer in the New Y ork
Press. A young man in a Chesterfield
coat, a bell-crown silk hat and white
spats over patent leather shoes, was
ambling innocently along and airing a
setter dog. He met a pleasing young
woman iii a blue bonnet, and they stopped
to chat. The dog, left to himself, investi-
gated the vicinity to the end of his chain,
and then proceeded to describe a number
OF concentric circles. AT the end of the
fifth circle he had chained up the two
young people in close embrace. The
situation was embarrassing for both,
and equally so for the dog. The
man struggled valianIly and the
dog pulled hard, with the result that sew
eral hundred people collected TO witness
the unique spectacle OF two well-dressed
young people vigorously embracing each
other in broad daylight. Sexton Browns
successor stood within the doorway of
the sacred edifice and grew purple with
indignation. The more the young man
struggled the closer he was drawn to the
young woman. Suddenly the dog
stopped pulling, and evidently made up
his mind that something had to be done.
Then, with q reprOachful look at his
master, he deliberately turned and pro-
ceeded to trot back over the course he
had taken, unwinding the chain. When
at last the young people were free, the
crowd cheered. The man petted the dog
and the young woman escaped into a
restaurant. During all this time it never
occurred TO the young man TO follow
around the dog and unwind himself.

NAMES OF STATES.
Indian Titles Given to Most of Those
In the Great West.


in the Great West.
Naturally, the thirteen States which
first comprised the Federal Union were
called after foreign personages or locali-
ties, says Washington. 1t was in 1879 that
the Plymouth Company conveyed cer-
tain portion of American territory to
Captain John Mason by patent. The
patentee was Governor of Portsmouth in
Hampshire, England, so the new colony
came to be New Hampshire. Rhode
Island was named still earlier, in 1914, for
the Island of Rhodes in the Mediterra
mean. Earlier yet, in 1864, the CarolinaS
were so called by their French settlers
in honor of Carolus TX. of France. An
other colony which received its name in
the sixteenth century was Virginia, the
namesake of Elizabeth, the virgin Queen
of England, which had Sir Walter
Raleigh Tor its sponsor. Indians called
the great New England River Connect
cut, and the white settlers simply trans
ferred it to their united settlements.
Massachusetts, was the name of tribe of
Indians which had it's wigwams in the
vicinity of Boston. These Indians are
supposed to have derived their appella-
ton from the blue hills over which they
roamed.
New York has been known by various
names, but the present title was bestowed
L
the territory was granted by England.
Pennsylvania was christened in 1851 at
ter William Penn. Delaware is said to
to get its name from Lord de la War;, who
is supposed to have been buried in the
bay. This, however, seems TO be more
legendary than historical. 1t is certain,
on the other hand, that the tribe of In
dians which roamed over this territory
were called the Delawares. At oDe time
Nav l.
New Sweden, but in l644 the latter was
rechristened out of compliment to Sir
George Cartaret, one of the original Eng
lish proprietors of that territory, because
he had defended the Island of Jersey
against the long Parliament in the English
civil war. Georgia was so called in honor
of George II. Maryland was named for
Henrietta Maria, Charles LIS queen; while
Vermont had no separate title until the
declaration of Independence, when the
people named their State from verd and
mont, words typical of the beautiful
mountains of which the State is justly
proud.
While Maine was not admitted to the
Union until 1920 the Territory bore its
present name as early as 1858. Queen
Henrietta of England had the honor of
having it called after her possessions in
France. Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, Mississi ippi, Arkansas,
Wisconsin and Illinois were called after
rivers. The Indian word Tennessee is
said to signify curved spoon; Missis
sippi, river formed of many; Illinois,
the river of men, while Missouri was the
name Of branch OF the Dakotas. Lou
isiana took its name from Louis XVI. of
France; Indiana from the original in
habitants of this country; the Dakotas,
Kansas, Omaha, Utah and Iowa from
tribes OF Indians. 1t was on Easter Sun
day-in Spanish, Pascua Florida-that
Ponce de Leon discovered Florida. Texas
was also named by Spaniards when they
drove out the French in 1890.

Extension of Reading.

When one speaks OF literary property,
it is always taken at first to refer to
novels. l have over and over again been
accused of arguing about novels when L
have used the general words literary
property. Fiction, on the contrary, is by
no means the most valuable form OF lit
erary property. Educational books OF
ALI kinds. from the First Standard to
treatise in the higher mathematics. may
be far more valuable. No novelist has
ever made the fortune of some successful
educational writer's. Scientific books,
which for the most part fall under the
head of educational books, may also be
a most valuable possession.
Technical books, surgical and medical
books. law books, books on political and
social economy, books of history, may
become enormously valuable II they are
written by well-known men. Children S
books are sometimes q mine of gold.
VOYAGES and travels command large
sale for short time; then they are LAID
aside and forgotten. AS for hctIon, Its
commercial value may be roughly meas
ured by the facts that ID If work OF nc
ton is popular, it is certain to run into a
new edition, and that " there were last
wear 800 new editions OF novels, OF which
probably 100 represent old novelists.
We should, therefore, have about $50
living noveliStS who are able to pass this
first rough test OF success. but tnere are
many more than $50 successful writers OF
works educational. This test does not, OF
course, enable us to ascertain the true
proportion OF fiction to the whole mass OF
literary property. Let us remember that
we are speaking of literature generally.
and not OF novels or belles-lettres only.
Then, again, this great output of 5000
books every year in England, to which
may be added an equal number produced
in the United States, represents the intel
lectual wants of about I20,000,000 of Eng
lish-speaking people. One hundred and
twenty millions! Never before in the
history OF the world has there been such
possible audience. Nay, it is rapidly
becoming an actual audience. Already
the popular writer addresses an audience
ten times as great as Dickens in his
younger days could command; in the
towns, in the villages, on the prairies, in
the sheep runs, every whore; the people
are reading; in every American town
ship in the TAR West there are book clubs;
i'll every English village there are spring.
ing up libraries. The extension of the
reading habit is one of the most remarka-
Bile phenomena of the day.-W alter Be-

During
February

Colds and chills are prevalent,
and unless the system is strong
enough to throw them off, serious
illness, often ending in pneumonia
and death result.
The Cause
Of colds, chiIls and attendant
dangers is found in the blood,
poisoned by uric acid, which
should be expelled by the kidneys.
The Effect
Of this kidney poisoned blood is
far-reaching Health and strength
are impossible while it exists.
The system is being continually
weakened leaving it open to the
ravages of colds, chills, pneumonia
and fevers.
The Cure
For such a diseased condition is
found in Warmers Safe Cure, which
will restore the kidneys to health
and enable them to properly per-
form their functions. There is no

a Lesson to Naval Architects.

The Russian naval authorities have not
been slow to take advantage of the les
sons taught by the sinking of H. M. S.
Victoria. An exact model of the sunken
vessel is, it is said, being constructed in
Cronstadt, and this, together with the in
formation available as TO the causes of the
accident, win serve as an object lesson to
Russian naval architects, as well as to
what shall be avoided in designing new

Devoted to the Golden Rule.

Some excitement was created recently
at Gonzales in the Grand Jury room
when Jesse Newman. young farmer,
refused to answer some of the questions
propounded. He was ordered before
Judge Shooner, who asked him why he
would not answer the questions. He
said:
''Since my religious conversion l ha We
been trying to follow the golden rule,
And as ye would that men should do TO
you, do ye also 10 them likewise and
therefore refuse to answer the question"
The Judge endeavored to persuade him
to answer, but Newman persisted in
maintaining silence. He was thereupon
committed to Jail until he consent to give
the required answer.-Galveston News.
