LONDON'S SANDWICH GIRL
New Way of Advertising that Has
Startled london Town.

New Way of Advertising that Has
Startled London Town.
New York Journal: No longer can
the Sandwich man" pursue his call
ing unmolested. The Sandwich wo-
man" has entered the field of compe-
tition. This is in London-but then a
good thing there is speedily reproduced
in the American metropolis. The
young women are attired in white hats
and pantomime dresses, and the only
thing about them that savors the least
bit of an advertisement is the dainty
sash thrown over their shoulders with
the name of the firm upon it. They
go in skies and carry handbills-no, we
will say souvenirs-which they distrib-
ute in such a charming way that ev-
erybody wants one. They look hap
Ply, towel fed and we'll treated
so that people look upon them with
smiles of approval. 1t might not seem
quite proper for six such charming
young m to parade the streets so
publicly without a chaperone, or an
escort, so a functionary of this sort is
provided in the form of a handsome
young man in uniform. He is rugged
up as nearly like an army officer as
possible without making him an ac-
tual counterfeit that the police might
seize. The swell looking escort walks
by the side Of the line of girls. He
supplies them with souvenirs to dis
tribute from a big haversack. All the
while he keeps a sharp lookout that
no young gallants or rude cockneys
pay too much attention to his fair
charges. Six pretty girls to look out
for is a pretty large task for any young
man, but this one manages admirably.
The secret of his control of them was
disclosed when a New York merchant
in London accosted him one day last
month for an explanation about this
new departure in advertising. He fiat
tiers them. ''Sir, these are no ordi-
nary girls he exclaimed, with pride

Story of the Origin,

Philadelphia Press: During the old
days of Sweden there we're several best
men, and the term was applied in its
full literal sense. The duty of the
best men in those times was to defend
the groom and his prospective bride
from a rival, who, accompanied by
several retainers, was sure to appear
while the wedding procession was on
its way to church and make a stub
born fight for possession of the woman,
The Scandinavian warrior considered
it beneath his dignity to court a mai
denis favor by %gallantry and submis-
sion, and, therefore, generally pre-
ferred to wait until she was on her
way to be married to another man.
when the attempt was made to carry
her off by main strength. 1t was then
that the best men-if they were the
best men-came into good play. Hence
the custom is still preserved in the
'best" man of today.

roads are invariably higher than the

DENvER,s $4,000 DOCS.
A Canine Colony of Every Known Va

A Canine Colony of Every Known Va
riety-Ponce Kill 1000 q Year.
Denver has $4,000 dogs. Few per-
sons imagine how many dogs die in
Denver every month. Nate Hunter and
Andy Nelson, the two herders Of the
police force, who stay at headquarters
to attend to lost live stock, vicious
dogs or the streets, etc., are perhaps
the most experienced in the use of the
revolver of the entire force. They Kill.
from 100 to $50 dogs every month. But
the most startling figures relating to
dogs are the estimates of these men
on the number of CANNES in Denver.
III bet my bottom dollar" said Nell
son, that there are at least rs, 900
About one-tenth of them are of any
use.- There is a dog for every two peo-
pie and a fraction. Denver is full Of
dogs from one side to another, both
ways, up and down and across the
middle. There are big dogs, little dogs,
fat dogs, skinny dogs, dogs with tails,
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, Inc if they lack
amusement, they want to chew some
body's leg. Last July was our biggest
month in killing dogs. l killed some
thing like 100 and Hunter murdered
LIT. 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 u 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 a box for
cartridges. That made SO a 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 I think
there is a sample of every known va
riety. Although we kill more than l.
OOO'dogs every year, there are very few
that are alike. There are more u
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 10, that are good for anything
but to make trouble."-Denver Times

A short time ago Willie Strange,

corded in the papers with much pleas

will be repaid to you a thousandfold
by his affection. 1t is only men who
betray those who befriend them. The

When Spain owned the vast region
OF the Mississippi valley, the command
ing officer at Santa Fe was ordered to
open communication with Florida. In
the spring the colonel marched an in
fantry regiment down the stream,
winch flows for many miles through
a grand canyon. Not one of the regi-
ment was ever heard of again. The
stream was then called "El Rio de las
Anlmas Perditas" (The River of Lost
Souls). Years after French trappers
gave it the more concise name of lie
Purgatoire" (Purgatory). Years after
that the great American bullwhacker
entered the country. Unable to twist
MS tongue to pronounce the French
name, he called the stream picket
wire"
Ih1s river was the scene Of an in
teresting encounter between two hunt
ers and a grizzly bear. A trapping
party, under the lead of Kit Carson,
had camped near the Picketwire to trap
beaver. One of the party, named Nc
lntyre, Who had killed an elk the even
Ing before, but had not brought in the
carcass, said to another trapper, Hob
pes, the ext morning, that there was
a good chance of finding a grizzly by
the elk. Hobbies offered to help bring
in the meat"
On arriving at the ravine where the
elk was, Hobbies told Mcintyre, who
was a green man in the mountains, to
cross over to the other side and climb
the hill. Hobbies then went to the
bank of the stream, when he saw a
large grizzly bear making his breakfast
off the dead animal.
h bear was in thick, scrubby oak
brush, and Hobbies, making his dog
lie down, crawled behind a rock and
shot at the beast. The bear, snarling
at the wound, went tearing through the
brush. Hobbies reloaded; but when
ready for another shot, he saw, to his
amazement, the Dear chasing Mcintyre,
who was ten feet in advance and bel
lowing like a mad bull down the ra-
vine.
Hobbies, sending his dog ahead, start
ed to the rescue. Just as the dog
reached the bear Mcintyre darted be-
hind a tree, flung his hat in the bears
face, and stuck out his rifle toward the
beast. The grizzly seized the muzzle
of the gun in his teeth. Being loaded

A western paper, in explaining why
the Massachusetts roads have hereto
fore been SO expensive, says that the
sandy stretches across which many
miles have been built necessitated very
expensive underpinning with cobbles;
that marshy tracts have largely in
creased the cost of construction; that
the reduction of grades has~been an
other heavy item, and that climatic
conditions required unusual care, and,
finally, that it is "the especial ambi-
ton of Massachusetts to construct the
best roads in the world, regardless of
expense; for the Old Bay State is de-
termined to be full of attractions, since
in productions she is thrown into such
violent competition with more fertile
regions"

Vegetables n Fighting Diet.

[ regret to say that vegetarianism
is a fighting diet. Ninety-nine per cent
of the worlds fighting has been done
on farinaceous food. In Trafalgar
square l found it impossible to run
away as fast as the meat-eaters did.
Panic is a c%arnivorous speciality. If
the army were fed on a hardy, flesh
less diet, we should hear no more of the
disgust of u colored troops and of
the Afridis and FuZzywuzzies at the
co%wardice of Tommy Atkins. I am
myself .congenitally timid, but as a
vegetarian l can generally conceal nv
tremors; whereas in my unregenerate
days, when l ate my fellow-creatures.
1 was as patent a coward as Peter the
Great. The recent spread of fire-eatine
fiction and lingo war worship-a sort
of thing hat only interests the pusil-
lanimous-is due to the spread of
~meat-eating. Compare the Tipperary
peasant of the potatoes-and- buttermilk
days with the modern gentleman who
gorges himself with murdered COW.
The Tipperary man never read bloody
minded novels or cheered patriotic
music-hall tableaux, but he fought
recklessly and wantonly. Your car

MILLIONAIRE'S GRATITUDE.
Rewarded the Druggist by Buying
Postage Stamps.

Postage Stamps.
He is a wealthy man, and, like most
men Of wealth, is stingy. He is a mis-
erly old gent, worth perhaps, a cool
half million, and the way he makes the
eagles scream as he let's go a silver
coin is a 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 a million to one that it is a
cut-rate drug store and it would be like
writing home for money"-come so
easy, you know. Yesterday the old
gold-horder dropped into the drug store
and complained of a 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
a little vial. ooh, no; let me pay you.
I 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 eag-
erness. "Well, now I feel like I'm UNI
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 slicl.
ways. But the druggist-well, he ha.
dispensed his last whisky without the
order from the doctor and the accom.
panying mum"
