DOGS TATTOOED.
An English Method of Marking Val.
liable Animals Adopted in
This Country.

1t has been the practice in London for
some time to tattoo dogs. In some
cases it has been done as a means of
Identification; in others it is just mere
fad for the ostentatious show of a newly
acquired crest or coat of arms, says the
New York Herald.
The most sensible reason for such
fad seems to be for Identification in
case of theft or loss. Certain breeders
have certain private marks by which
they can identify dogs of particular
family. These marks are kept close
track of, and the age and pedigree of
the dog can be settled at once by re-
ferrmg to the records.
Dog tattooing is now done in this city.
A well-known fancier has tattooed
dogs for the Astors, the Vanderbilts,
Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Gould and other men
who own valuable dogs.
THE plain markings, such as crosses,
double X and private Marks" he said,
ARE not done by tattooing, but with a
long, fine needle, such as milliners use,
and fine thread dipped in Indian ink
This needle is run under the skin in
long stitches, the thread pulled through
and left there for some little time, and
then pulled out again, leaving the stain
of the ink under the skin, and that stain
can never be destroyed.
Dogs are mostly marked right in the
bend of the fore Or hind leg, where there
is no hair and the skin is very tender.
Sometimes it is done in the ears.
perhaps you did not know chat high
priced fowls are tattooed and marked
for pedigree Identification? Well, near
~ every game chicken has some special
mark upon it, and anyone at all familiar
with the raising of game fowls owns
book which gives all the private mark
ings of valuable species.'

Too late for last week.

The sad news of the death of A. H.
Bird at his home in Beaver Dam was
received with sorrow here last Sun
day. He was a much esteemed resi-
dent of this place for several years,
and moved to Beaver Dam in 1883.
His illness dates from New Years
last, from which time he has been
confined to his room. The skill Of
physicians and loving home care
could not stop the ravages of disease
and he passed away at l o'clock last
Sunday morning. The funeral was
held at his home Tuesday afternoon
and the remains were laid to rest in
lakewood cemetery.
Mrs. a. G. Ryder, of Juneau, has
been here the past week caring for
her brother, E. M. Jones.
A little daughter was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Ryder Monday, May

HOW IT WAS DONE.
A Bit of the Inside History of the
Movement for q Statue of

rosy little woman with an air Of
great satisfaction about her ran up to
me after the matinee the other day,
says writer in the Washington Post.
did you see it in the paper?" she
said.
''See what?' I asked.
'Why, that the Illinois Legislature
has passed bill for an appropriation to
buy statue of Frances Willard to put
in Statuary hall at the capitol. knew
we'd dc it, and we did do it, Isn't it love-
Typ"
[ confessed my lack of comprehen-
sion, and she went on:
You SEE, just year ago [ told you
that there was a movement on foot
among the Women's Christian Temper
ance union to erect a statue to Miss Will
lard. [ believe [ even went into details.
Well, there wasn't a word of truth in it,
l made it all up myself. 1 don't know a
soul in the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, but | did know Miss Viii
lard, and [ wanted so much to have
somebody start the statue idea, so 1
started it myself. The Illinois legisla-
ture may think they've done it, but they
haven't. They've merely followed out
an idea [ gave them. 1 started the
whole thing just by telling you some
thing that wasn't so, You made the
first mention of it, and put you up to
it. I'm mighty proud of myself to-day.
We started, we did, but state had to
take it up, for only states are permitted
to put statues in Statuary hall. Never
tell me again that it's always best to
stick to the truth. Just see what little
Judicious prevarication has done!"

of the day. The leading article is
a scholarly presentation by Roman

of the salient features of the au-
tumn campaign in Luzon, and ex-
plains the actual military situation
in the islands. the present situation
and chances of Aguinaldo. and the
probable outcome of the fall opera
tons. Mr.. Lala is an impartial
writer and, if anything, rather in
clined to advocate the cause of the
United States, but in his article
finds occasion to criticise the mode
of warfare adopted by the Ameri-
can leaders in the islands and sup
ports his arguments with Il strong
statement Of incontrovertible facts.
Both the American and British war
news is covered by photographs
and stories. The South African
military situation is explained in
detail by Colonel Frank w. Roberts
former United States consul at Cape

respondent, Julian Ralph, the we'll

resenting the paper at the front

ton that the thanks of congress be

Rotary says:
while those engaged in the battle

no recognition whatever for their

THE department believes 1t due to
these gallant men to suggest to you
that the thanks of congress be given
to the commander in-chief of the
North Atlantic squadron and to the Of
flcers and men under such command.
The North Atlantic squadron was
charged with great and exacting
duties. 1t was a campaign of great
scope and enormous responsibilities.
and was brought to successful and
glorious contamination, which termi-
mated the war by the destruction of the
Spanish sea power. 1t was marked
