Denver has $4,000 dogs. Few per"
sons imagine how many dogs die IN
Denver every month. Nate Hunter ana
ANDY Nelson. the two herders OF the
police force, who stay at headquarters
to attend to lost live stock, vicious
dogs on the streets, etc, are perhaps
the most experienced in the use OF the
revolver of the entire force. They XIII
from 100 to $50 dogs every month. But
the most startling figures relating 10
dogs are the estimates of these men
on the number of CANNES in Denver
"I'Il bet my bottom dollar" said Nell
son. chat there are at least f5,OOo
dogs in the city of Denver to-day
About one-tenth of them are of any
use. There is dog for every two peo-
pie and fraction. Denver is full OF
dogs from one side to another, DOM
ways, up and down and across the
middle. There are big dogs, little dogs,
fat dogs, skinny dogs, dogs with talls'
dogs without tails, hairy dogs, dogs
without hair and lots of other kinds OF
dogs. Now, as to why so many dogs
are killed, l think it is because the
climate causes so many to be vicious
Every day we have numerous calls
from all parts of the city to come and
shoot vicious dogs. They get ner-
vous, like people do, and if they lack
amusement, they want to chew some
bodys leg. Last July was our biggest
month in killing dogs. l killed some
thing like 100 and Hunter murdered
127. OF course we take them to the
pound to do the slaughter act. Some
days there is a squealing and yelping
of dogs being murdered all day long
at the pound. 1t seems heartless to
talk this way and worse to slaughter
sausage by the wholesale as we do,
but it's our duty We have to use up
a box and a half of cartridges each
and every month killing dogs The
city pays for them now. We used to
have to buy our own ammunition.
Then, I'll tell you, it cost like sixty.
We had to pay rs cents box for
cartridges. That made 50 year for
each man, figuring that we each used
a box a month. But we used more
than that. 1 guess the bill would cas-
lily run up to SIS a year for each of
us. Among the dogs in the city think
there is sample Of every known va
riety. Although we kill more than l.
900 dogs every year, there are very few
that are alike. There are more cur
dogs than any other breed, however.
But out of the $4,000 or $4,000 dogs
that live in Denver there are not more
than 10000 that are good for anything
but to make trouble. Denver Times.

Rewarded the Druggist by Buying
Postage Stamps.
He is a wealthy man, and, like most
men of wealth, is stingy. He is a mis-
erly old gent, worth perhaps, cool
half million, and the way he makes the
eagles scream as he let's go a silver
coin is caution, says the Louisville
Commercial. He has been in the hab-
It of giving what little trade he per-
mits himself to. indulge in to a corner
drug store on one Of the resident streets
Of the city. One might place money at
odds of million to one that it is a
out-rate drug store and it would be like
writing home for moneyf-come so
easy, you know. Yesterday the old
sgold- horder dropped into the drug store
and complained of very painful stom-
ach trouble. He wanted a little whis-
Ky to ease the, ache, but the pharmacist
told him he couldn't sell liquor with
out a prescription. Then old money
bags doubled up, and the druggist,
through sympathy, offered to give him
little vial. ooh, o;-let me pay you.
l don't want it that way" And the
eagle gave a smothered scream as the
half millionaire" gave his dollar an
extra heavy press in his pocket. But
! the pill-roller insisted, and the rich
customer grabbed the bottle with Gag
erness. ''Well, now feel like I'm I'M
der obligations to you, and ought to
buy something that don't require a
prescription. Say, you keep postage
stamps? Yes? Gimme 10 cents worth
OF them" And the miserable old man
left congratulating himself on his slick
ways. But the druggist-well, he has
dispensed his last whisky without the
order from the doctor and the accom-
panying mum"

DOCTOR SAVED HIS own LIFE,

He Took an Overdose of Cocaine, Then
the Antidotes.
Moved to unusual mental alertness
by a self-administered dose Of cocaine
from which he was about to die, says
the New York Press, and being aware
Of his condition, physician walked
into a drug store the other day, order
ed the clerk to prepare antidotes for
him, which he swallowed, then gave d.
rections as to what should be done for
him when he became unconscious, and
thus saved his life. The physician is
DR.. G. G. Jolliffe, of 444 Lexington ave-
nue.. For some time past he has been
a sufferer from rheumatism and neur-
algia and his pain has at times been
so great that he resorted to cocaine
for relief. He was suffering keenly the
other day and went into a drug store
in upper Broadway, where he prescrib-
ed the cocaine for himself. He imme-
diately felt relieved and went to visit
a patient in Madison avenue. While
leaving the patients house he realized
that he had taken an overdose of the
drug. He was familiar with the symp-
toms of cocaine poisoning. The doc
tor hurried to the drug store at Park
avenue and AID street. On entering
he said to the clerk: II have taken
an overdose of cocaine which will kill
me If you don't act promptly in doing
what say and without questions" DR..
Jolliffe then prescribed several anti
dOtes for cocaine poisoning. The clerk
looked at the doctor, not knowing him,
in amazement, thinking he had an in
sane man to deal with. won't you
please hurry" pleaded the doctor.
"I'm a.physician. l know what l am
talking about. You will be responsible
for my death if you don't hurry" The
doctor spoke calmly, but firmly, and
the clerk, convinced, prepared the anti
dote which doctor swallowed. A
newsboy came in and the doctor sent
him for policeman. Patrolman Glenn
arrived; and on learning the facts call
ed for an ambulance from the Flower
station, Then DR.. Jolliffe, sitting in
a chair, said to the clerk: ''I prob
ably shall become unconscious before
the ambulance gets here. You tell the
surgeon what poison took, and the
antidotes for it which have taken. "
After giving instructions as to how
he should be treated by the ambulance
surgeon, the physicians head fell for
ward on his chest. He was uncon-
sOious. In a few moments the ambu-
lance arrived and the man was taken
to the hospital, He was treated &C
cOrding to the instructions which he
left with. the drug clerk, and three
hours after he had taken the poison
he walked out Of the hospital in his
normal health.

The idea of setting up chairs and
schools of journalism in colleges is not
extinct yet, says. the New York Ad-

no college or professional school ever
teaches anything that does not enter
into the newspaper mans equipment.
When Bacon said that ,'all knowledge

The trouble with treating Journalism
