MARKED DOCS, EYES.
An Explanation Wanted Of the Presence
of These Tan SDots

an Explanation Wanted Of the Presence
of These Tan Snots.
Can any Of your readers explain the
meaning of Che tan spots seen so com.
monty over the eyes in black and tan
dogs of most breeds?
When in Melbourne last year, went
carefully over all the dogs in show
with one of the stewards, and we found
the spots in all the black and tan ter
riers, foxhounds, deerhounds, collies,
luTchers, etc., but I could get no infof
nation regarding them from the ex-
perts.
In some of the highly bred toy dogs
as the small black and tan terriers, !
found ON inquiry that these spots, for
merly so very conspicuous, were being
bred out and had nearly disappeared
Their persistence through so many
strongly marked varieties, except those
Of late date, is singular, for there La
fairly good proof that when first domes-
tcated the dog was req or brown, like
The pariah, dingo etc.
As far as 1 can see, we do not find
E1e spots white on a black or dark
ground, nor yet black or dark on a
white or light ground. My explanation
is that they have arisen as a permanent
marking after the dogs ''sported" to
black under domestication and have
been preserved and developed through
natural selection Possibly they are pro-
tective and simulate eyes.
One morning, just at dawn, had 90.
nasion to go out into the garden, and
while STOPPING to examine some flowers,
near fence partly covered with creep
ers, 1 suddenly saw an animals head
looking through, and what seemed to be
two seemingly large and ferocious
black eyes glared at me. Suspecting
that black leopard was about to spring
over, started back, clapped my hands
and shouted. T. my relief, however. I
saw tail wag AID found that the spec
tator was a cooly's dog 1 knew very
we'll and which recognized me. The
use of the tan spots-in this case at
least-then occurred to me.
May it not be that the spots thus
serve a protective purpose and have Of
ten saved the lives OF dogs (black dogs
from their enemies, the smaller felines
such as the clouded leopard, etc? Per-
haps the matter is not new, but if it is
it seems worth looking into.
l have several dogs about here now
With blaok bodies and heads. The tan
spots, rather pale, are of the size of a
shilling. 1 have shot one, keeping the
skin of the head as ouriosity.-S. E

have been called by that name, although
IL was anything but a comedy to poor
ne. You know that am rather an old
fashioned housekeeper and pride myself
on my cake, which l make myself from
time to time, and Of which, when il
turns out particularly well, I like to
send a specimen to some friend. So the
other day, when I had very good luck
with a new recipe, l arranged my best
looking cake, all daintily frosted, in a
cardboard box, and telling my maid to
BID the ocachman take it to Mrs. S.,
with my card, went out to do soma
shopping.
"'Did you send the cake?' I asked Oh

he had taken the big case that you
brought home yesterday.
"Well, Of course it was a piece of
stupidity, but did not really mind, for

was then too late to do anything, but
all night the affair weighed on my mind
like an incubus, ard the very next
morning 1 wrote Mrs. s. long explain
atory note, apologizing for the double
mistake Of man and maid and trying to
explain how the confusion had arisen.
It sounded awkwardly enough, but it
was the best could do, SO sent it off
with the cake, which in the meanwhile
had been left waiting in the fall When
the man came back, I asked him what
he had done with the case. What case?'
he said stupidity. Why, the case Mary
told you to fetch back from Mrs. S. s.
'Shure an niver got it back at all,
was his most unexpected answer, which
put the finishing touch to the altogether
trying situation, for if Ihad never writ

have been all right. When, that after
noon, the expressman brought back the
unfortunate Victory, together with a
polite but puzzled note from Mrs. S. re.

pleasure and given a conspicuous place

der on Big Scoop.
''As funny thing as ever knew Of
in the newspaper business, "said the re-
formed reporter, twas the way Sandy
Mclean gave the Chicago Tribune q
scoop Now, Sandy, to my way of think.
ing, is the best reporter in Chicago He
was lawyer once, and mighty good
one, but he saw that the law had Nc
such opportunities as the newspape,
business, and he came to Chicago from
the Iowa town where he was practicinq
and began work on one of the big
dailies. He hadn't been there week be-
fore the managing editor realized that
he had star, and Sandy was given ey-
cry opportunity to make himself name.
He made it too. He was put on big
story after big story and beat every 9th.
er reporter in the city. After time he
got to The Tribune and kept up his bril-.
liant work. He was with The Tribune
for long time. The Herald and other
papers wanted him, but Sandy stuck to
The Tribune He got a bit free and gay,
but the old man put up with him. FL
nally patience ceased to be virtue, and
one day Sandy drifted into the Office
snly to he told that they thought they
might be able to get out paper without
him if they hustled.
He went out whistling gayly and
walked over to The Herald office. He
told them The Tribune people had juat
fred him and asked for job. The Her.
aid was too glad to get him. They snap
ped him up right away The next day
Sandy reported for an assignment The
city editor of The Herald put him on
big story he had been keeping on the
ice for awhile and told Sandy that it
was exclusive,
'Sandy went out and get the facts
He found that he was the first and only
newspaper man who knew anything
about the tale, and it was a corker. He
started back to the Office to write it up.
He had been SO used to going to TFs
Tribune Office that he mechanically got
off the car there and walked up into the
local room. He sat down at his old desk,
wrote the story and handed it to the city
editor. The city editor saw that the
story was sensational, put q scare head
on it and ran it on the first page The
Tribune was the only paper that had it
and Sandy did not wake up to what he
had done until he had got note from
The Herald city editor next morning
calling him all sorts of names and dis.
charging him. He got back on The
Tribune, though, a. he's there yet.

A SLICK HOTEL BEAT.
as n schemer He Could Give the Clerk
Points and Not Half Try.


Points and Not Half Try.
The fellow had no baggage when he
registered first at the Markham House
Saturday, but had very glib tongue
and told such plausible story that he
was permitted to register and given a
room. He was well dressed and a very
pleasant spoken fellow, and his bill for
extras soon assumed startling proper
tons. The hotel people became alarm
ed and after he had been there several
days a party stopping there told them
he was a beat. The clerk fixed up a
scheme, and that evening he got into the
fellows room on some pretext after he
had retired, and calmly gathering up the
fellows coat, vest and pants told him
they could be redeemed at the Office for
the amount of his bill.
The fellows nerve did not desert him
even in this extremity. He borrowed q
macintosh coat from the clerk which
reached to his heels, which he put on
over his underclothing, in order to 60
after some money, and walked to the
Kimball House, where he boldly regis
tered and was shown to a room, leav,
ing word that when his baggage arrived
it was to be kept until he got up in the
morning.
At about o'clock on Sunday morn
ing he came jumping down stairs, max.
ing a great noise of a tale of robbery,
in which he had lost his clothes and $50
in cash. The hotel management, with
out stopping to investigate the fellow,
got him new suit of clothes and paid
him $50 rather than have such notorie-
ty attached to the house The fellow
then walked back to the Markham house,
paid his bill, obtained his clothes and
jumped out of town. Chattanooga

The reasons assigned by the schoo,
committee for the disoontinuance Of
states, slate pencils and sponges in the
public schools and the substitution of
paper, lead pencils and rubber erasers
in their places are as follows:
First.-A light gray mark upon a
slightly darker gray surface is more or
less indistinct and trying to the eye.
sight.
Second. The resistance of the hard
pencil upon the hard slate is trying to
the muscles, and the resistance to which
the muscles are thus trained must be
overcome when beginning to write with
pencil or pen upon paper.
Third. The use Of states, slate pen.

James Gallagher Is Willing to Spend Ten
Years in Making the Effort.
"I will put bunch of Grape on Policeman
McGuire's door if it takes me ten years. :"
These words were uttered, it is said, by
James Gallagher, alias James Hill. the negro
who Sunday last tried to end the life OF
Policeman Millard F. Mcclure with a razor
in South Washington.
Gallagher was charged by Policemen Nc
Guire and Stenhouse with assaulting an
officer On this charge he was held for the
grand jury in $500 bonds by Judge Bimball.
For assaulting Frances Bowman, colored, he
was sent to jail for sixty days.
The case OF disorderly conduct against The
Bowman woman was dismissed. as she had
informed the officers that Gallagher had a
razor. and thereby probably saved one of
their lives. While she was locked up at No. 4
police station Sunday, some thief entered
her house and stole her cook stove.
