 The boys came back to report that the fog seemed to crave that part of Wash engton mostly for himself, and that he was not only cortented with his lot, but desired most of it for his own use By and ty the neighbors got uneasy about their health. Washington gets pretty hot in summer, and even n mod. crate sized dog under the genial rays of an August sun will attract more adverse criticism sometimes than the admins tratiOn.
 This ono did.
 So q lady on the corner, whose house and grounds are next dcor 10 where the dog seemed to be taking place, sent word to the police department asking that a cart aud good offhand memorial ora. lOI Ut SclI up lu h SAECSN-
 Meantime the owner returned to his residence. and the lady who lives mex, door went over to speak to him about how his animal was violating a city ordinance on those grounds. Before she coplI get at the subject, however, the owners son came along from the garden with life sized china dog.
 There, said the father, II thought 1 had concealed that china dog in the currant bushes where it wouldn't be found any more, but he's gone and dis, covered it. -
 ''Is that the dog that has been there in the bushes the past two weeks:'
 Yes"
 Well the police will be here after il in a few minutes.

 Well, WIG thought we could smell il a good deal lately, and people threat ened to move away if the police didn | do something with it.

 And soon afterwaTd the police did come along to relieve the neighborhood of the poisonous and pestilential odor of a china dog This is true story told me by one of the victims.
 Imagination is a great thing. l have seen fresh air crank, after hours of restleSsness on a Pullman car at night, raise a window and sleep sweetly all night. forgetting that it was a double window.

over the signature of "Muzio:"
"As an cx-member of the Washington
Chess Club have noticed with regret the

column in these contests represent the

for before the contest began it was un-
derstood and announced, if am not mis-
taken, that the contest would be for the
