These spots are believed to afford an
example of protective markings pcrpet-
uatCd by natural selection. They seem
to have been acquired at Il comparative
ly rccent period, when the dog had be-
come semidomcsticated. The original
dog was red and did not possess these
spots. When he slept, he hid himself
from possible enemies, but this the
scmidOmCstiCatUd dog could not always
do. Now, when the color changed by
domestication and selected breeding,
and dogs became pied and black. those
which had spots over their eyes would
look when asleep as though THEN eyes
Were open and still on watch. There
fore their enemies would be deceived,
and they would be less liable to be kill
ed during sleep than dogs which had
no such spots. TbIs they sui vivcd and
transmitted their popularity to their
offspring. These spots are supposed to
be the most, if not the only. pCrma-

KING SOLOMON'S NOTION

KING SOLOMON'S NOTION
That There is nothing new under the
sun" does not always convey the truth.
Especially is this true as regards the
new composite cars operated
daily via the Chicago, Union Pacific
and Northwestern line between Salt
Lake City and Chicago.
The handsome buffet smoking and
library cars are entirely new through
out, of latest design, containing all
modern improvements, and are we'll
supplied with writing material, the
leading daily papers, illustrated peri
odicals, magazines, etc.
The fact that these cars run daily via
THE Overland Limited" and that the
Union Pacific was the line west of Chi
cago to inaugurate this service should
commend itself to all.
See that your tickets read via "The
Overland Route"

Tho cowboy Had Prejudice Against
Scciur White Man the Under Dog.
From the Livingston Enterprise.
During the performance at Miles City,
Mont, of BLACK Diamond" by Imsons
Comedy Company. the spectators were
treated to by-play that demonstrat-
ed the chivalry Of at least one of Mon
tana's cowboys. The colored comedian
who was shooting pistol and tyran-
nizing over white man, was inter-
rupted in his by-p!ay by a cowboy who
rose from the back of the house, ad-
vanced to the stage with his pistol half
drawn, and exclaimed:
II don't want no trouble. but don't
propose to see no nigger running it over
a white man. You stop that shooting
and let that fellow alone, or I'll fire you
full of holes"
An usher seized his right hand, led
him out of the house, and explained
that 1t was only play. The interven-
ton probably prevented more serious
occurrence, for there is no doubt that
II the cork man had made an other
move the cowboy would have assumed
the leading role seriously.
