The contest for the election OF maid
OF honor to represent Phillips county at
the Denver Festival closed Saturday
noon and resulted IN the election of Miss
Florence Trego. The candidates were
Miss Florence Trego and Miss Nellie
Whitman and the vote was pretty close
beng l41 TO ID Either OF the young
ladies would have made q most credita-
BILE representative for tue county and
would have been very satisfactory to the
people OF the county. We were sorry to
see 30 much personal feeling exhibited
by some oi the workers in the contest
for we are satisfied that neither OF the
young ladies' would countenance any
thing Of the kind. They entered the
race for friendly contest and there
would have been the best Of feeling
throughout the contest had 1t not been
Tor the unwse course pursued bv some
of the over JEALOUS workers. This elec.
tion OF maid OF honor. We suppose, will
be IN annual affair and II is 10 be hoped
that hereafter these contests may be
conducted in the inoet friendly manner
by the workers for the respective candi-
dates.

Treatment oil Alaska Dogs.
st. Paul Dispatch.

~. aui DsbPuttu.
The Alaskan dog is almost human
in intelligence. He weighs about 100
pounds. Heavily, laden, he will travel
GO miles day.
With 20 dogs in team no two of
them are in straight line from the
driver. When unhitched for the
night, they pile upon the first blanket
that is thrown upon the snow, and
there they stay. When you crawl
into your sleeping bag and pull a robe
over it, the dog will get under the
robe. Unless you are careful he will
be inside of the bag in the morning
Their endurance is phenomenal, and
they are capable of strong affection.
They are great fighters.
A traveller who recently returned
from Alaska says of the treatment ac-
corded this faithful animals:
"The whip that is used on them is
the cruelist thing of its kind that is
known to man. Thirty feet in length
and two inches thick near the short
handle, it has lash 10 feet long that
cuts like knife. The Russian knout
isn't in it. When dog is struck, you
hear a sharp yelp, and then your sleigh
whirls past bit of fur or possibly a
piece of bloody skin lying on the
snow.

JOHN WAS SLAPPED.
Western Senator Receives a sting.
Ing Blow in the Face.

western senator Receives a STING
ing Blow I'm the Face.
A western Senator's face was slapped
in a public manner in Washington
the other day. To,Un Topics of Novem-
ber Is is at hand with the story.
A distinguished Senator of the
United States had his face slapped as
he was coming out of the Office of the
Postmaster General in Washington the
other day. The affair has been kept
out of the newspapers, but the details
of the story are extending into WIDEN
ing zones. The Senator, who halls
from far western State, is an irascible,
crotchety individual who has an ex-
alted opinion of himself and of his
dignity, which he spells with large
d. As he emerged from General
Gary's room an old friend, who is
a prominent lawyer of Baltimore, met
him and remarked cheerfully, "Hell o
John"
"Go to hell" was the polite re-
sponse.
"Do you mean it?" said Mr.. Rich
ardson-there! the name escaped me.
81 said 60 to hell" repeated the
Senator snappily.
"Take that, then, you dirty cur"
retorted the Baltimorean with a re-
sounding smash with his open hand
across the face of the Occidental
State. The incident closed with the
slap. Attendants rushed between the
men, pushing one of them into the
Postmaster Generals room and the
other down the hall and away.
This is not the first time the western
Senator's nasty temper and offensive
manners have got him into trouble.
A few months ago he grossly insulted
a watchman at the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, and was knocked
down by sledge hammer blow be.
tween the eyes which draped those orbs
in the deepest mourning. Not so very
long before that episode he was
knocked under the table in the dining
room of the National Hotel by COL
ored waiter for a grievious offense
against common decency and polite
ness. The Senator weighs only about
125 pounds, but he has voice that
suggests rip-saw tearing through a
pine knot.

CarbOlized Kisses.

One by one our cherished customs
and privileges and traditions fall away
from us, banished by an memorable
fate that calls itself science. Science
is undermining religion. 1t is cutting
off our beer. 1t is denying the canned
vegetable to the multitude. 1t shuts
off our milk. 1t is compelling us to
open our windows and to enrich
plumbers. 1t is obliging some of us
to pull down tenements that pay 20
per cent on the investment. 1t is en-
couraging cremation. 1t is doubling
the equator and Symmes' hole. 1t has
wiped the great American desert from
the map. 1t is insisting that people
must 60 without clothes if they want
to be healthy; and, judging from the
costumes of some of the women at the
theater the other night, the fair sex
is determined to be healthy if nothing
more serious than dispensing with
clothes stands in the way. Science
has even crippled political parties
And now it wants to enforce the
carbolic kiss.
Microbes, says science, are COM
municated by kisses. The spinster
who embraces her pug acquires
rheumatism and the one who fondles
her cat will get diphtlreria-and serve
them right. Sensible women do not
care to kiss cats and pugs, and reserve
their caresses for more appreciative
objects. But, says science, in the
very transports of courtship, you must
remember the microbe. You must
avoid kissing except under sanitary
conditions. Those conditions are best
met by amounting the lips with
carbolic acid before receiving the
chaste salute. We think we see the
young man carrying with him bottle
OF carbOllc acid when he goes to see
his best girl!
Imagine the balcony scene, when
Juliet, all fondness, holds off the eager
Romeo while she goes to her dressing
table and dabs her waiting lips with
carbolic acid, and makes him break
away every few minntes while she puts
on fresh supply. Imagine the nose
of Romeo during the love-making
episode. They eat much garlic and
onions in Italy and other romantic
Southern lands, and it has often been
wondered whether the young people
can really love each other with such
breaths. But love triumphs over on
ions, and it will even defy carbolic acid.

Twinkling of the Stars.

A discovery OF much interest to as
tronomers has been made by DR.. L. l..
J. See, who is in charge of Lowell OBJ
servatory at Flagstaff, A. T. The
cause of the twinkling of the stars has
always been mystery, none of the
theories advanced having stood the
test of thorough investigation. DIR.
See found the cause to be the presence
in the atmosphere of innumerable
little air currents or waves, which dart
through the air and cause break in
the light from the star. The result IS
that to beholder on the earth the
star has the familiar appearance OF
twinkling. These little air currents
can be distinguished through the a
inch telescope very plainly on nights
when this twinkling is observed most
by removing the eye-piece of the IN
strument.
