Two Wise Dogs.

There are dogs and again there are
dogs. There is the dog with the human
intellect that travels with the side show
to the greatest show on earth" and
picks out the letters that spell the
words cat and the like, and then wags
his tail with you amt in it, ex-
preston.
But the dog am about to speak Of
discounts all intellectual dogs known
to the business and even the educated
hog This dog is of the water spaniel
variety, and he lives in the East End.
He has friends downtown, however. and
visits them frequently. The funny
thing about this dog is that he won't
walk any more than he absolutely has
to. He don't have to walk downtown
either, for he waits until a car comes
along and "dead-heads" his way.
He makes call or two on lower Su-
perior and then rides home. At o'clock
in the evening this dog has been known
to go out on the street and pick out a
Cedar avenue car from all the differ
ent lines and varieties Of cars running
east and west along that crowded thor
oughfare at that hour. If the car hap
pens to be one of the modern kind, he
stands on the running board, and if
not he climbs up into the veStibule
with the motorman. When he gets
home this dog gives a yelp, and the
motorman stops to let his passenger
off. That's what call dog on-intellect.
Speaking of dogs reminds me of an
other brainy variety. This one was an
Irish setter and as handsome and intel
ligent looking specimen Of the canine
family as I ever saw. He was raised
In an army post in the northern part
OF Montana, and seldom, If ever, saw
person in civilians clothes. Everything
was brass buttons and Indians with the
Montana dog.
When his master was ordered to the
recruiting Office in this city, the dog
came along as part of the family. He
was unused to city life and missed the
brass buttons. The dog was not vic
ious. but he eyed every one in the at
tire Of a civilian with suspicion. But
the dog found few friends. The post
man and policeman on the beat imme-
diateIy fell into favor with him-those
brass buttons were what he had long
been looking for.
Do you know there are great many
women who are just like that dog

The Glass Snake Only a Brittle Lizard.

The glass snake, which is not snake
any more than it is turtle, has a tail
about two-thirds it's entire length.
This tail, like the tails Of about all
lizards in the United States that have
met with, is very delicate and easily
broken off at times. When a fourth to
half, or even more, Of the animal is
detached and the head end wriggles
away and the remainder and sometimes
a larger part squirms in sight, it is an
astonishing spectacle, and I am not
surprised that the ignorant should
clothe the creature with mysticism.
But, as a matter of fact. all sensible
people know that the fragments do not
reunite, for it would be impossible to
fit together the ruptured blood vessels
and shattered nerves and restore the
animal. Still this story of traditional
force is believed by host of people,
along with other SURF rising hoopsnake
tales, milksnake whoppers, with quill
throwing porcupine relations, and
thousand and one other and lesser I'M
truths.-American Field.

DOGS PASSION FOR DOLLS.

ratical Character.

He Finally Developed Tendencies Of . Pr
ratical Character.
The latest sensation in Birmingham is
the doll-snatching dog. The animal is
the property of lady who resides at
Small Heath, and some time ago one
of her little girls was very fond of in
ducing the dog to carry her doll, and the
animal acquired quite passion for re-
lieving the child Of her precious charge.
The dog would carry the doll about for
hours, and oftentimes take it to his
kennel and lie down beside it for the
greater part of the day. He never
harmed the doll, always gripping its
clothes, and not defacing it in the
slightest. Up to certain point it's ten
denotes were productive of unadulter-
ated fun, and so popular did the dog be-
come that the children of the neighbor-
hood frequently came to it's owners
house with the query, please, Mrs.,
can your dog come and take my doll
for a Walk?"
But by degrees the animals healthy
affection for dolls developed into an
absolute passion, and now a more I'M
popular quadruped DIES not exist in the
whole suburb. Not content with carry
ing a doll when requested to do so, the
animal commenced to prowl about the
neighborhood and forcibly deprive stray
children of their treasured pets.
Whenever and wherever he saw doll in
a chId's arms he would stealthily walk
up to her, seize the prize and run Off
with it to his kennel. In a single day
he has been known to bring four cap
tives home, and the maternal indigna-
ton Of the neighborhood Is somewhat
terrible to contemplate. If that dog
does not mend his ways shortly his
career will be prematurely closed The
animal should be engaged at Christmas
time in the interest Of the Children's
Hospital; he would soon provide dolls

LOSING THEIR SUBSCRIBERS.

Those gold-bound Bourbon dailies
of Kansas City, the Star and Times
are experiencing dreary season of it.
Between their defense of Clevelands
skinning scheme and the protests of
nine out of ten of their readers their
situation partakeS of the drastic. One
of these journals cut its subscription
price one-half to retain its readers,
and the other has commenced to feel
strong symptoms of financial cramps.
These journals in their frantic en-
deavOrS to stand in with the west and
still worship at the shrine of Wall
streets tycoon talk pleadingly about
the present exchange power of wheat.
They would pull the fool wool over
the western debtors eyes while they
fill his pockets with wind. Why
don't these thimble-riggers in the same
connection acknowledge that while
wheat will buy as much of the ordinary
commodities as formerly that it will
not buy half as much of the worlds
forced measure of value, money-gOld!
If ton of wheat will buy as much
of cotton and iron and of wool and
of days work as formerly why shuldn't
it pay as much of debt as formerly?
Why don't these anxious subscriber
losing journals tell why ton of silver
won't pay one-half of the amount of
debt that it would have paid ten years
ago and would pay today with its full
money power restored? The farmer
knows only too well, knows better
than the editors of the Times and Star,
the exchangable value of a bushel of
wheat TO a dot, just how much it will
buy, so their pretended information
proves pure impudence. Instead Of
enlightening the farmer as to the COM
parative purchasing power of his pro-
ducts. why not better look up the cause
which forced the Arrangements and
price one-half: Why isn't the pur-
chasing or exchange power of these
papers as great as it was ten years
ago? What has happened that their
subscribers will not plank down ten
dollars in gold for a Seven-day paper
for Il whole year? These old-time sub
scribers will whack up as many bushels
of corn, as many dozens of eggs, as
many tons of hay and pints of sweat
for these papers. but none of these
will bay half as much money as form
erly. and it takes money to pay debts.

THE WAY 1T HURTS.

There is something in the beat of the
average Americans heart that reddens
the gills of its possessor every time
his eyes happen to light upon the name.
Venezuela There is a hereditary
impulse, an undefinable surge that
causes him to uncomfortable twist and
to occasionally snort, in a ventilating
way, over incidental glimpses at dis
patches containing even the remotest
reference to Americas foreign policy,
if cowardly cringing and pusilanimOus
seniiity, strained through old granny
Gresham, can be made to masquerade
as a national policy. England rules
the world, and owns most of ii. Eng
land governs half of the Northern
American continent and twenty years
or so more under Cleveland and Gresh
am would kick our boosted Monroe
doctrine off the planet and be choking
both Central and South Americas, as
she throttles Egypt and India today.
There is but one people under the sun
that can whip the bully. called Bull
probably TO divert attention from his
hog instincts, and they are they who
whipped him when they were twenty
times fewer in numbers and thou
sand times weaker in resources. Eng
land knows this, but with Bayard at
St James, Cleveland on Il duck hunt
and Granny Gresham fretting and friZ-
Zling over the perpleXing finesse OF
trained diplomats, English rulers take
the chances and proceed to deliberately
snub and insult the American people
touching one of their most cherished
principles. Cleveland is not an Amer
lean in sympathy or instinct, and
Gresham's heart was long years ago
converted into a mere gizzard by polit-
zeal envy and jealousy, SO the L Pluri-
bus Unum spirit of the great body of
patriotic people can crawl in its hole
or evaporate, the "blOody Britisher'
doesn't care which, while he proceeds
to cuff, kick and rob Il little sister

for just word of sympathy and en-
enlargement from nation boasting
the principle of the Monroe doctrine
but whose inhabitants eat dirt while
their sycophantic leaders explain and
apologize. With 4 Grant or a Gar
field as president and Blaine in
Gresham's place the American navy
would be lowering about he mouth of
the OrinocO and the coast of NeneZ-
uela and England would arbitrate her
little money claim and proposed land
steal or otherwise turn her attention
to her victims in Asia and Africa,
whose peoples she has waged wars
aginst and robbed at pleasure.

well known writers. No one at
tempts to explain them. There is no
reason why the mind should be so SEN
sitiye to embarrassing situations dur

through HOwell's remarks on the Grim
inal inclination of the dreaming mind.
There can be no doubt that we are
better morally than Adam and Eve
after their fall, when they first felt
the necessity Of covering themselves
up and when they begat murderer
like Cain. The sleeping mind, whose
creatures dreams are, may be an en-
during reflection of the primitive mind,
susceptible to the terrible sense of
guilt resulting as a penalty from the
original sin, and capable of INDUCING
in murder as easily as Cain did.
However, if this solution should be
true, Darwin's theory is knocked into
a cooked hat. for a reflection of the
primitive mind through dreams never
fooled a man into believeinS that he

BLACK BUT BRIGHT.

A prominent Kansan, just at present
politically quiescent, writes the Eagle
a private letter of congratulation, in
which he INDUCES in hearty all round
Endorsement of its course on every
thing, especially on the silver question,
saving an exception as to the Waller
Madagascar episode. The tin di steele
niger is not stranger to these parts.
However we have nothing laid up
againS Waller and would have enjoyed
his break or venture under a Repub-
lican administration, because there
would be no fear of humiliations. Our
friend expresses the fear that he Eagle
has been misled by Gresham's mouth
ings, that Waller had deserted his
American citizenship. He goes on to
cite the fact that in the Orient Ameri-
can citizenship is a very stock in trade.
Waller is not 4 naturalized American
but an American by birthright, and it
is therefore entirely unnecessary for
him to take any steps looking to Il
reclamation of his citizenship. 1t is
a right he can only lose by formal
remuneration, where a naturaliZed citi-
zen would lose his simply by perman-
emily locating in his native country.
A born American comes and goes as
he pleases and remains as long as it
suits him, and is always on American
citizen. Madagascar has no naturali-
cation laws and Waller does not have
to prove his citizenship being born
and bred a free American, nor can his
rights as such lapse, therefore his i'm
prisOnment by France is a damnable
outrage, which country has no more
claim to Madagascar than the devil
had TO the kingdom which he offered
to Messiah. Walters crime is, when
he went TO Tamatave he took his
papers from the native government,
paying no attention to France. From
the native government he secured q
valuable land grant, which natives live
in houses, wear clothes, till farms and
manufacture goods and need nobodyS
protection. Our government is bound
by every principle of self-respect to
protect this man, and would under
anybody than the Cleveland and Gresh-
am combine. Things have come to a
pretty pass when colored American
gentleman is treated with as little re-
spect as an ordinary hereditary Eu-
ropean king. Waller would have his
rights were we not blessed with the
stupideSt and most obstinate non
American ever holding the high of
flee of president to the United StateS,-
for secretary of state-the smallest
thing that ever ratified around in 4
big place.
Our friend is assured that he COM
mands our profoundest sympathies in
his outraged feelings over the mex
cuSable treatment OF a man who is
none the less bright because he is
black, none the less entitled TO con-
Sideration and protection because what
he conceived TO be his personal in
terests called him away from home
But what can he or Waller or anyone
expect at the hands of an administra-
ton that has betrayed the interest of
America in every cline, including the
islands of the sea
