THE DoG-SHoW GIRL

She looked with smiles, and frowns, an(
shrugs-
For she was very wise
Upon the poodles, pointers. pugs,
The beagles. bulls and Skyes:
OF settlers, spaniels. st. Bernards,
OF dogs of every breed,
OF every canine on the cards,
She knew lot indeed.
She talked to me of "apple-head,"
OF 'brisket' and of blaze"
The "button-ear" was bad, she sain,
But gave the "rose-ear' praise:
The Dudley nose quite met her views,
dew claw" gave delight;
She criticised the bloodhound's "fews,"
But thought his couplings right.
Then she descanted on the "haw,"
The feather" "frill'' and flag"
In "hucklebones" she found a flaw,
But loved a "pily shag;'
To me it all was Dutch or French,
l tried to learn in vain;
And thus she went from bench to bench,
While just went-insane!

A Little Boys Letter From "Ouida'

A short time ago Willie Strange. son Of
Alderman Strange of Eastbourne, was
fined by the Eastbourne magistrates for
allowing pet dog to be at large unmuz-

in court and paid the fine in small coins.
"Ouida" having seen an account of the
case in the foreign newspapers, has sent
the youthful defendant a letter from Italy,
dated January oath. The letter, which is
in the possession of Mr.. Neville Strange OF
bennington, the boys brother is as fol-
lows:
my Dear Boy: have seen your action
as recorded in the papers with much pleas

be repaid to you thousand fold by his af
fection. 1t is only men who betray those

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Young Sid Grigg Kills Sweetheart
and Himself.

Shelby, y c., Feb 1G.-Yes-
tcrday evening about nine miles
from this place the saddest tragedy
the country has ever Known took
place.
Sid Griggs, boy seventeen
years old, loved Ella Williams,
who was sweet sixteen.
Young Grlggs' love was unrc-
Quilted and Ella refused to run
away.and marry him.
Yesterday evening while on her
way home from school with her
two little brothers, Griggs rose
from the side of her path where
he was waiting, and with a pisto
shot his sweetheart through the
breast.
She fell, fatally wounded. Not
satisfied that TIE wound was fatal
he walked to her side, and shot
her twice while she was lying on
the ground dying.
Then he turned the same pistol
on himself, put the irearm to his
temple and blew off the top of his
head. He died at once.
Both the murderer and his vic
tim will be buried today IN the
same graveyard.
Both belong to good families in
this county.
The tragedy has caused great
sadness and sympathy for the
families of those involved in the
distressing affair.

the Reynolds act. TIE State
company was the lowest bidder.
" The award, however,
by Il vote Of to 6 in committees,
was made to the Bryan Printing
company and promptly confirmed
by the senate and house.
We do not complain. The cx-
pected has happened. 'It is alb

Ttllman to one of his agents in

The State, My representa-

is the cue to the change of public
printers and the doggeG fight
made from that time forward
against the Reynolds bill, which
was only saved because it had al
ready passed five of its six read
ings when the order came that it
must be killed.
Of course much more than the
injury of The State was sought.
Tho purchase of other newspaper
influence was part of the pro
grammc. \
The bids were such Yesterday
that the scheme agreed upon in
caucus on Friday night last could
not be carried out, the more cs
pecially as The States editorial
paragraph yesterday morning
showed that it was known and
would be exposed. A leap over
three lower bidders to higher
could not be in any plausi BILE way
explained to the people in the
coming campaign. so advantu-
ge was taken of a difference in
the charges for rule and figure
work which might be obscure to
the average man, and the award
was made to the Bryan Printing
company. 1t is sufficient to say
that the departmental reports
would have to be made up exclusi,
vely of statistical tables and com
prise more than 1000 pages to
eoualize the difference of $50
between the bids of The State
company and of the Bryan com
pany.
The successful competitors, how
ever, are not to blame, and we
congratulate them upon their good
fortune. We congratulate our
selves also upon the success of
our long struggle for reform in
the public printing. We
have kept the promise that, the
work being given out to compe-
tltlon, The State company would
"make bid which would force 4
very substantial saving" The
public printing several years ago
cost upwards of $2O, 600 annually.
Last year it cost about $14, 900.
Next year on the basis of 35 day
session it will cost under $1,000.

congratulate the taxpayers of

appreciation of Mr. Reynolds bill.
