THE DOGS BARK.
It Is an Evolution of tae Uncultured Yelp-
 ing of Old.

It Is an Evolution of tae Uncultured Yelp-
 ing of old.
 The most curious imitation which we find in dogs is as to the measure of ex- precision to which they have attained. Among the savage forefsthers of the modern dog the characteristic of all their utterance was, to a great extent, involuntary, and, once begun, the out cry was continued in mechanical manner, says Scribner's Magazine.
 The effect of advancing culture on the dog, however, has been gradually to decrease this ancient undifferentl- ated mode of expression by bowling and yelping, and to replace it by the much more speech-like bark. There is some doubt whether dogs possessed by savages have the power of uttering the the sharp, specialized note which is so characteristic of the civilized form of their species.
 It is clear, however, that if they have the power of thus expressing them selves, they used it but rarely. On the other hand, our high-bred dogs have, to great extent, lost the power to ex- press themselves in the ancient way. Many of our breeds appear to have be- come incapable of ululating. There is no doubt but the change in the mode of expression greatly increases the capac- ity of our dogs to set forth their states of mind.
 If we watch high-bred dog-one with a wide range of sensibilities, which we may find in breeds which have long been closely associated with man-we may readily note five or six varieties of sound in the bark, each of which is clearly related to a certain state of mind That of welcome, Of fear, of rage, of doubt, and of pure fun, are almost always perfectly dis tinct to the educated ear, and this, al though the observer may not be ac- quainted with the creature. If he knows him well he may be able to dis tinguish various other intonations- those which express impatience, and even an element of sorrow. This last note verges toward howl.

TIRED WOMEN

Need to have the action of the kid- neys stimulated and the system toned up. Parks Sure Cure is the best rem- edy to accomplish this. Many a wo- man finds that she is tired out by work which ought not to tire her at all. She fears that her system is broken down and she is hopeless invalid when few doses of Parks Sure Cure would make her look at life from a different point of view. Don't delay. Every bottle is guaranteed. Sold by c. Eschman & Go.

A GREAT PLAY.

The opening bill of the Payton Com edy company, "The Golden Giant" is the best play of the class ever written and is being produced by more stock companies this season than any other American production. It is by the great melodramatic actor and author. Mckee Rankin, and the best effort of his pen. Miss Kline appears as Bess Fairfax, the pet of the camp, and MT. Payton as Jack Mason the gambler.

THE STATE or CUBA.

Affairs in Cuba may be divided into two gen

vastly superior force, has gone thithcr

beat him: and that Gomez is somewhere in
the eastern or central part Of the island. Be
yOnd that, all is uncertainty. Whether MaceO
is fleeing for safety, or Turing Weylcr into

is lying inactive, o. is creeping mp for a tiger

THE SOUTHERN POLITICAL FIELD.

The National League of Republican Clubs has
been in existence about nine years 1t was or
panzed lust before the Presidential contest in
lSSS and contributed largely to the success OF
the Republican campaign that year. The ser
vice il rendered in arOusing the youthful en-
thusiasm of the party and supplementing the
work of the regular organizations cannot be
easily overestimated, and should not be for
gotten.
A distinctive feature Of the League from the
. outset was the idea of permanency; it aimed
10 be more than campaign organization. Its
activity was not confined to the few months pre-
ceding election: it planned TO be in harness
throughout the year. In this it represented a
rew departure in American politics. As con-
tlpual propaganda Of Republican principles 1t
was heartily welcomed by the party leaders and
the marty press: by none more cordially than by
this paper Recognizing the great possibilities
Of the League and the important forces repre-
sented by it. we sought to translate its latent
energies into practical achievements of the kind
most needed by the party. With this end in view
its attention was directed to the Southern States
whore through the exercise Of force and fraud
Renubllcanism had been almost extngushed
and where just such missionary work as the
League was capable of performing was sadly
needed Ii WAS as we pointed out. an open
field for club work II was no easy task to re-
claim these States, but II was task worthy
of every effort that might be put forth and we
urged that the attempt be made The attempt
was made convention was held at Nash
Vile and another in Louisville. Much good was
done. Southern Republicans were inspired 10
now and jealous efforts. and who will deny that
the redemption Of both Kentucky and Tennes
see is not due as much to the League as TO any
other agency: Five years ago both these States
were considered part Of the Solid South: Ken
tucky Is to-day in the Republican column to
ssay. and an honest count in Tennessee would
give It's electoral vote TO Mckinley
But. unfortunately, the League did not 60 for
ward with its Southern campaign. Its energies
for this kind of practical work apparently be-
came exhausted with the Louisville Conven-
ton. The inevitable reaction SET IN. Because
immediate results were not forthcoming and
some dlsaxreeable features manifested them
selves, many Of the leaders became discouraged.
The course OF the movement was directed north
ward again. aud for the last few years the con-
trolling forces Of the League have been content

where their work is almost superiuous R-
tcrioration was Inevitable. While individual
clubs and a few Of the State Leagues have
grown stronger the National body has dwindled
into comparative insignifcance as political
factor.
All this Is regrettable. but the situation Is not
hopeless. On the contrary. the conditions were
