The April number of the Forum will
have for it's leader noteworthy paper
by Senator Sherman entitled De
ficiency of Revenue the Cause of our
Financial Ills" The Senator contends
that the president and Secretary Car
Isle mistake the cause of our present
financial condition in attrfbuting it to
the demand for gold for United States
notes, and he thinks that the facts
which he submits in his paper will
convince everyone that the true finan-
cial policy is to supply the government
with ample means to meet its cur
rent expenditures and to pay off each
year a portion of the public debt.

The reporter, without waiting for further
example, walked up 10 a pigeon-hole,

was just like the one in the first shop, and
secured another quarter slip on "Silver

While he was standing there a white boy,
apparently about fourteen years old, walked
in the door and stepped up othe next pigeon
hole. He had TO stand ON tiptoe, almost, to
tap the ledge with his ten cents.
His smooth cheek was flushed, and his
eyes sparkled with the excitement OF gam

about five feet from the wall, wooden
partition, about seven feet high was built,
and behind il could be heard the chink of
money and the shuffie OF several pairs of
feet.
A ledge ran along the partition about
four feet up, and about three feet apart
little pigeon holes, barely large enough to
admit mans hand, were cut. Sliding doors,
that worked from the inside, fitted into
these pigeon holes, ard they were always

and they could only vary the monotony of
standing by leaning.
Some were marking down rows offigures,

cxaming their Slips, and one policy expert,
WHO had Just said, "Gimme blood row fer

Not until quite recently has the coursing
fraternity been aware of the great supe-

rabbit or the English hare for this purpose
Kansas jack rabbits are now greatly in
demand, both in this country and in Eng

The difficulty in catching them alive is
very great and only one man in Kansas
so far as known, has given his undivided
attention to the work.
Charles Payne, famiiiariy known through

and it is largely through his efforts that the
merits of the animal for coursing purposes
have become so generally recognized. The

DOG THAT ENJOYS A JOKE.
He Has a Memory, Too. for Those He
Doesn't Like.
DetrOi NawS

~ -.
DR.. Buell. of Norfolk, Conn.,, owns an IN
telligent dog now eleven years old, which
for the first six years of its life was ill
treated by young man who did the chores
for the doctor and took care of his horse.
The young fellow was an excellent mimic
of animal sounds and whenever he caught
the dog asleep he would creep up to him
and give a loud bark close to his ear. The
dog would be startled, and would jump up
to defend himself.
Recently the young man came back on
visit. When he came into the house the
dog looked at him, but gave none OF the
usual signs OF recognition. That same day,
while the young man was leaning on his
elbow looking out of window with his
back to the room, DR.. and Mrs. Buell., with
others in the room noticed the dog creep
softly up to the young man. All watched
to see what the dog would do, real 70
interfere il an attempt to bite the young
fellow was made.
But the dog was a joker. He had no in
tention of biting or scratching, but the
memory OF those six years remained with
him, and his time had come to take re-
venge. The dog raised himself until his
mouth was close to the young mans ear
when he gave tremendous bark, and
then dashed out of the room, g The young
man was as frightened as il an earthquake
had come.

shape and brilliant plumage are familiar 10

The Langshan Club is large one. 1t is
under the patronage OF breeders in almost
all the States of the Union. The members
are active in the advancement of their IDEAL
and none can say them nay in their merit

will surpass them at the Washington show,
and it is safe TO predict a long and repre-
