DOGS OF INTELLIGENCE.

A Strict sabbatarian and a Traveller In
Hansoms.
The Ladies' Kennel Journal consists
Of q number Of dog anecdotes select
ed from many sources, new and old.
The stories are arranged to illustrate
different features of the dogs character.
Here is an example of what is called a

for by an Edinburgh minister: :.
Zone sacrament Sunday the minister
left his house to the care of the servants.
who thought il; good opportunity to
give a party. During the day the dog
"a 'Newfoundland) accompanied them
through the garden, and indeed wher-
ever they went, in the most attentive
manner and seemed we'll pleased. In
the evening; when the time arrived that
the party meant to separate, they pro-
ceeded to do SO, but the dog, the instant
they went to the door, interposed, and,
placing himself before it, would not al
low one of them to touch the handle.
On their persisting and attempting to
use force. he became furious and in a
menacing manner drove them back into
the kitchen, where he kept them until
the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson. -
From which it would appear that
some dogs are Sabbatarians. At all
events, he seems to have been of opinion
that jewellers in manse on sacrament
Sunday were out Of place.
:: Another story, illustrating the reason
Of dog. is quoted as having been told
by William Robson of Penshaw, the
owner Of the animal. The dog was in
the habit of going about in hanson cabs
with his master. One day, after being
lost, he went home by himself IL a
hanson.
: 1.-THE cabman rang for his fare, and,
thinking he had somehow captured the
runaway, inquired how and where he
found him. oh, SIR said cabby, i
didn't hail him at ALL; he hailed me. I
was standing close by St. James church
looking out for fare, when in jumps
the dog. shouts through the winder.
He wouldn't STIR. So I gets down and
tries to- pull him out and shows him my
whip, but he sits still and barks as
much as to say, eco on, old man. AS
I seizes him by the collar reads his
name and address. My fine gentleman
settles himself with his head just a. look
ing out, and drives on till I stops at
this gate: Then out jumps my passen-
ger, a-clearing the doors, and walks in
Us though he'd been regular fare ?"
The driving in cabs dog is by NO
means rare variety. It is told of Lady
Ashburnham's collie that, after jumping
into handsom, he SO plainly intimates
that he wants his collar read that, as
one cabman said, "Blowed if he didn It

THE PAPERS .VALEDlCTC.tY

A farewell" Issue That Read Like An
Oracle to Survivors.
Several years ago I was the Omaha
Republicans correspondent in Lincoln,
Neb., the state capital, when the paper
changed hands. The new proprietor had
a policy in two words, "Reduce sala-
RESP In few months he was himself
reduced. to the point where he couldn't
pay any salary. He asked me to como to
Omaha and take the editorship at the
salary was receiving as reporter. He
would cut my salary in two if I remain
ed i'll Lincoln. I accepted reluctantly.
It was only question of few weeks
when the paper would have to suspend,
and there was little honor or profit in
guiding the wreck.
For three weeks we managed to get
along somehow, and then the proprietor
went into retirement. The Republican
had the Associated Press franchise and
had presses and material worth $40, 900.
It had about 8, 900 paid subscribers. I
had tried to get somebody to buy it, and,
in the hope that somebody would, we
continued to get the paper out. At last
the printers announced that they would
not work any longer. I prevailed upon
them to work that night, and they
agreed to help get out a farewell issue.
It was a unique specimen: For weeks
Mr.. Rosewater, the proprietor of The
Bee, and Mr.. Hitchcock, the proprietor
Of The World Herald, had been waiting
for The Republican, demise with eager
expectation. They knew we had been

!: AS AN ARMY RATION,

Beans Briefly Considered by an Old Army
"Take it altogether, - said the old
soldier, II think liked beans the best
OF the army rations. Hard bread, Of
course. was essential, and we expected
to'get that anyway, but I am speaking
now of the comparative '1uxuries on the
army bill of fare. Ishould prefer corned
beef, if that issued in the army had been
uniformly of a desirable quality. But
often it was Of a hardness more like
that of quartz and of saltiness past be-
lief by those who have never tried it.
''Salt pork-wel1, fat salt pork, even
OF; the best quality, is not desirable as a
steady diet Of food, and we got more
salt pork than any other meat, and it
was most always not of the best. In
fact, no old soldier will ever forget the
salt pork Of the army. But his recollec-
tions of it will not be surrounded by an
aurora borealis Of delight.
mot everybody liked beans, but &C.
cording to My notion they were the best
Of the army rations, all things consid-
cred. If we had a piece of pork to put
in the kettle, SO much the better. But
we had salt anyway, and bean soup,
with hard bread to break into it, and a
cup Of coffee made meal that had de-
cided elements of hopefulness in it.
1T is true that sometimes when we
had beans day after day for days together
some of the men would get tired Of
them. But you would grow tired of
ortolans, wouldn't you, if you had too
many Of them? =: ~
II always used to be; glad when we
had beans, and to this day I like now

never eat it without pleasant recollec-
tons of the army. New York Sun.

"Salting" Mines.

'saltiDg' Mines.
"Prospectors ought to be taught"
said Professor B. Sadtler, THAT in open
ing up a new camp absolute honesty in
regard to values is essential. A we'll de-
fined lead may not have values at the
surface and yet be a good property,
while all the lying and other dishonest
actions possible will not make a mine
out of barren lead, and such things
being sure to be detected often have the
effect of setting back a district which is
really possessed of merit. A short time
since I went up the Platte to examine
some prospects near Pine Grove I went
through the territory carefully and Sc
lected my samples and was packing
them when man who has number of
claims in the vicinity came up and
threw piece of rock Oh the pile, with
the remark that he had just picked it
up and it looked as if it might run we'll.
I knew at once that the rock had not
come from any of the prospects that
had examined and said nothing.
when had the assays made, I had
this piece assayed separately. It ran
several ounces in gold, and the rest Of
the samples ran about 81 in gold. It
was one Of the cheapest cases of an at
tempt to salt that I ever experienced.
On another occasion the same man
worked a number Of Denver people in a
scheme having for its base an alleged
tin deposit. He simply soaked piece of
ore in chloride Of tin. He didn't even
know how to salt the ore in such a
manner that it could not be detected by
the first assayer who saw it, for every
one who was at all familiar with ore
saw at glance that it was not tin ore. I"

sCHueERT's SAD LIFE. Il
II Shall Have to Sneak From Door to-

II Shall Have to Sneak From Door to
Door to Beg my Bread" \ \
One of the bitterest diaappointments
in Schubert's life was Goethe's indiffer-
ence. In 1918 he sent selection Of his
compositions to the poets songs to Wei
mar. What precious pearls Of music
were among the collection-the songs
of "Mignon' and "The Harpist, those
from "Faust,,' the sad melodies "Long-.
ing,'> "Nightsong, /" 1.-THE Wanderers
Nightsong,'' 1.-The Earl King" Hal
deroslein," 1.-THE Fisherman" "The'
Bard 1.-The King Of Thule'' and the
music to "Claudine of Villa Bella"
Goethe, who had all ear only for the
stiff compositions of Zumsteeg and Rein
hart, then in fashion in Weimar, took
no notice Of .Schubert's music and left
his letter unanswered. Not until 1890
after Schubert's death-did Goethe learn
to appreciate the extraordinary value of
tho compositions that lay neglected in
his drawer. 1t was then that Wilhelmine
Schroeder Devrient sang 1.-The Earl
King" to him.
It was Schubert's greatest delight to
make some little excursion with his
friends to the picturesquely situated vii
lagos in the Wi1nerwald or on the Kah-
lenberg, and it was in the arbors OF the
small inns, with glass of pure country
wine before him, that inspiration came
most easily. But even Nese modest de-
lights were imbittercd by the malice
that pictured him as drunkard who
composed his songs when he was full Of
wine It is an absolute fact that he did
not lose the faculty of artistic work even
under the saddest circumstances He
composed the greater part of the Mil
Ter Songs while he was lying i'll in
hospital in 1923. He was quite right
when he wrote to his friend Kuppel-
wieser in March, 1924, "Thoee of my
compositions which have been inspired
by pain seem to please people best.
And in a letter to Bauernfeld he COM
planned: "What will become of poor me?
Like Goethe's harp player, shall have
to sneak from door to door and beg my
bread" The only ray Of light that fell
into his dark life was when, through
the kindness Of Count Johann Ester
hazy's manager, Unger, the father of
the famous prima donna, Unger-Saba-
tier, he was appointed music master in
the counts household in Zelecs, where
he spent some happy summers, the hap
piest Of his life. 1t was in Castle Zelecs
that he is supposed to have fallen in
love with Caroline, his patrons beauti-
full daughter, who was his pupil, and
who probably never learned the secret
Of the musicians heart, though it is
strange that one SO gifted and SO beauti-
full should not have married before she
was we'll into the thirties. Bitter dis
appointment followed this short spell of
a life free of re.-LOndon Telegraph.

The CarousaI.

The department of concessions of
the Omaha exposition has received
an application for space for the erect
ion of mechanical device which will
equal, if not suFpass, the great Fer
ris wheel in novelty and engineering
ingenuity. For want of better name
the inventor describes his creation as
a "carousal" Its mechanism resem-
bles the framework of a gigantic um-
brella. The part corresponding to the
stick of the umbrella is an immense
cylindrical shaft, thirty feet in diane
ter, constructed of steel plates, firmly
riveted, making a "standpipe," which
rears its lofty head go feet above the
level of the ground. At the top of this
shaft are fastened twelve long arms re-
sembling the ribs of an umbrella.
These are steel trusses, the points of
which may be lowered almost to the
ground. At the extremity of each of
these ribs is suspended car having a
capacity Of twenty persons. These
monster ribs are raised in unison by
hydraulic power acting by means of
steel cables operating inside the
"standpipe," aided by q mechanism
greatly resembling that part of an UNI
brella that comes into play when the
umbrella is opened. The gigantic arms
are raised until they are horizontal, the
cars being carried outward and upward
until they reach a point 80 feet above
the ground. When the highest point
has been reached other mechanism is
brought into play and the suspended
cars are swung slowly around in a
circle. The sides of the cars are form
ed of windows from which view of the
surrounding country for miles may be
obtained. It is estimated that the cost
of installing this monster machine on
the exposition grounds will be about
$4,000. The device is the invention OF
a Chicago man and his application is &C,

WITH affairs as bad as they are in
the United Suates the efforts of con
gress should be directed toward cur

toward increasing taxation. That
the expense of maintaining the govern

the increase in population, no one will
deny. The expense of maintainment
in 1886 was s242, 49, 1873, exclusive of
