A WORD ABOUT Dogs,


/ The supreme court Of the United
States recently decided that the dog ID
NOT an article Of value unless II is en-
tered upon the assessment rolls al per-
sonal property. The court says:
The very fact that they are without
protection OF the criminal laws shows that
property In dogs lie OF an imperfect or
qualified nature, and that they stand, rs 1t
were, between animals feras naturae. in
which, until subdusd, there sno property,
and domestic animals Ia which the right OF
property is complcte. They are not eon-
sidered as being upon the lame plane with
horses, cattle, sheep and other domestic
animals, but rather In the category Of cats,
monkeys, parrots, singing birds and similar
animals kept for pleasure, curiosity or
caprice. Unlike domestic animals, they
are useful neither as beasts Of burden, for
draft nor for food"
From this 1t appears that the tag
which bangles from the COLLAR Of the
dog Ia Its best talisman against the
vicissitudes Of life. Without 1t the dog
has no legal rights Of existence and is
subject to thief, kicks and assassina-
ton.
Next to o woman, the dog has al
ways been classed as mans best friend.
He will die by his side rather than
desert his master and he will follow
him wherever he goes, wen to the
grave, and starve to death on . tomb

eternal sleeper to arouse from his
slu bers.
Not a day passes but that something
unusual and noble is said ofthe higher
order of CANNES. not the yelping curs
of the character found in New Mexico.
In yesterdays dispatches to The OPrIc
was recorded the fact that . dog had
just reached q Michigan town from An
island inhabited chiefly by hunters with
q message that small pox had broken
out and death and desolation were
stalking about unhindsred. A rescue
