SHORT CHAPTER ON DOGS.
What a Great Dane is NOt-Edwin
GOuId's Dogs.

a dissolution Of partnership is
probable: Edgar Smith don't feel like
continuing business relations with
anyone who knows no more about
dogs than to declare a Great Dane to
be in reality a Russian bloodhound.
lie states the Great Dane to be a Ger
man mastiiT: further that Bismarck
owned the finest dogs Of this breed in
the wOrld-and incidentally that his
own dog is a close kinsman to those of
the "IrOn Chancellor" And, by the
way, Mr.. Smiths dog, by reason of
size and affected ferocity, threatens
to drive all the neighbors of the block
though in reality it would not harm a
kitten.
An idea Of the Great Dane and the
interest shown in their breeding may
be gathered from an incident Of the
late st. Louis bench (or dog) show
Heretofore the sire of Wm. HOwelrs
dog, owned at Kansas City, has taken
all premiums. But last year Edwin
Gould, who is great dog fancier, sent
to Europe for a Great Dane, paying
$4,000 for him ard with this animal
took the premium over the Kansas
City dog. Young Gould came on to
st. Louis with his dogs and their
keepers a week before the show OPEN
ed and went to as much trouble and
pains as Lorillard does with hiSstable
OF racers or as George Gould does with
his racing yacht.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
H., makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for month by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told her she was a hopeless victim
Of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug-
gested DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefited
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found
herself sound and well; now does her
own hOusework, and is as well as she
ever was. Free trial bottles Of this
great discovery at A. W. Foreman's
drug store. Only so cents and 81,
every bottle guaranteed.

True Worth.

The most delicate herb makes the more
costly drug,
The most delicious fruits come from sickly
trees;
The most poisonous beverage isquafTed from
the golden mug.
And the most honey is gathered by the
smallest bees.
The birds sing the sweetest in the deepest
glade,
Untrodden poths invite the fairest flowers;
OF toughest stone, the purcst gem made,
The greatest empires have become the
weakest powers.
The most tender hearts beat meath the
ragged coats.
The greatest men have sprung from lowly
birth;
The most dreaded "mcn Of war" are the
smaller boats.
Minute parcels are Of the greatest worth.
Ambition has no home i'm polished halls
Fame comes 10 those who lo@gest wept;
A sage may dwell within hoycls walls.
The king Of kings first ia a manger slept.
The most costly monument may uuworthlly
mark a grave.
The epitaph gilded in purest gold:
Yet obscured by its side the grass may di-
vinely wave
O'er one whose deeds were nobler hundred
fold.
Scorn not lowly birth and humble home;
The smoUldcring cmb-rs are first To be seen.
so the fame OF genius may hutter on un-
known
preme.

story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains OF disease is the worst
form OF slavery. Geo. D. Williams, Of
Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF
Electric BitterS, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head.
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only so cents. Sold by A. W.
Foreman, druggist.

Upon by a Reporter.

President d. B. Robinson OF the Fris-
CO went east last Friday in a special.
The gentleman was accompanied by
a. J. Davidson, general superintend-
ent, c. Il. Gray, division superintend-
ent, F. NJ. Bisbee, chief engineer and
Mr.. McCool. They have been out on
tour Of inspection for nearly week,
going as far west as Ellsworth, Kans.,
thence down into Oklahoma. Thursday
was spent at Monett, and Saturday
the party was at Columbus, Kan. A
copy Of Friday evenings Chieftain
with the write-up Of the meeting held
to consider the right-Of-way park was
shown the gentlemen. Their remarks
showed clearly that the subject had
been discussed, as they were fully con-
versant with the proposition. While
President Robinson was non-cOmmit-
al, the chief engineer, Mr. Bisbee,
frankly said il was a capital idea and
ought to be put into effect.

A Fine Dog.

viii Howell has a Great Dane dog
given him by his friend, Tom Hutton,
Of which he is very proud. It's sire
weighs 200 pounds and its owner has
refused $500 for him. W. VI. Mellette,
who has learned considerable about
dogs from that dead game dog man
partner Of his, Edgar Smith, explains
that Great Dane is Russian blood
hound. And by the way, when Mr..
Smith goes to pick out fine dog he
calls for a set of scales, which will ac-
count for his belief that he has the
best dog in Vinita.

Just now Alton, Oseuma and Fair

is the Kansas gas fields. Southwest

the right-of-way, which cost about
$4,000, to get this line and this sum

An Embarrassing Conversation.

A good Joke is related at the ex-
pense of a modest young Dakota
newspaper man, that is going the
rounds and is credited to SEX"
It is to the effect that the pusher of
the pencil went out to report a
party the other evening where the
home had been recently blessed
with a new baby. Accompanied by
his best girl, he met the hostess at
the door, and after the usual salu-
tations asked after the new baby's
health. The lady, who was quite
deaf and suffering with the grip,
thought he was asking about her
cold, and told him that though she
usually had one every winter this
was the worst one she ever had it
kept her awake at night and con-
fined her to her bed. Then MOTTO
ing that the scribe was getting
pale and nervous she said that she
could tell by his looks that he was
going to have one just like hers,
and asked him to go in and sit
down.
The paper was out as usual the
next week, but the local editor has
quitinquiring about babies. Truth.

HOT AND STORMY,
Will Be the rlonth of June, Says
Hicks.

During the regular storm period
central on the 4th and embracing
the Bird to 9th, it will grow steadily
warmer, beginning in the west and
spreading eastward, The barome-
ter will fall, cloudiness will ensue
and storms of wind and rain, at
tended by much hail and thunder
in many sections, will eliminate
about the 4th, 5th and 9th. Wind
currents will continue southerly,
the barometer will remain below
normal, high temperatures Will
prevail, and general tendency to
thunder showers and storminess
will bridge over the interim be-
tween the period 3rd to 9th, and
reactionary storm days, 9th to 18th.
From about the 9th to 18th very ac-
tive thunder storms, hail and rain
will be almost certainties. Seismic
shakes for ten days before and after
the 10th, need not surpriseor alarm.
Extremely high temperatures may
be expected about the dates above
named, which, after storms of thun-
der, rain and hail, will suddenly
give place to high barometer and
VERY marked change to cooler.
Touches of frost far northward
about the 18th to 14th may be ex-
pected. During the 10Th, 18th. and
18th, look for many storms OF very
marked lightning, thunder, rain
and hail. Daily squalls of showers
and wind, with electrical displays
all round the Heavens during the
evenings and often throughout the
night, are the regular and normal
results during all this part of June.
The last storm period for the month
will be central on the 9th, extend
ing from the Goth to 10Th. Look for
very high temperature, low barom-
eter and active thunder storms.
Cooler, fair weather with rising
barometer will advance from wes-
tern parts as the month goes out.
