classical features.
We've had him since he was n pup,
and in his younger days he did nothing
but eat and bark. bark aud eat. day
and night. II didn't seem as II he took
any time for sleep. AS long as he did
his barking around the stable II didn't
matter much, because we couldn't bear
him from the house, but one day he
got into the kitchen. lie was barking
as usual. Of course. Mother put him
out. AS Mike tumbled as gracefully as
he knew how down the steps leading
from the back porch to the walk moth.

~'Mike. you've got TO stay away from
here
THAT was all she said. and I don't
know whether you will care to believe
me or not, but that dog has not at
tempted to enter the house since.
Sometimes he comes down the garden
and looks toward the kitchen. and
then, as IL he had suddenly remem-
bered something. he turns and trots
back to the stable.
somewhere around o'clock one
morning last summer Mike awoke me
by sitting down beneath my bedroom

A Yankee merchant had his partner
arrested on the ground that he was sell.
ling goods below cost and that the firm
was constantly losing money thereby.
The case came up In court, and the
counsel for the senior partner asked for
a postponement in order to have more
time to prepare his case. The Judge
granted the request against the pro-
tests OF the junior, who said he would
be ruined before the case came up
again. 1t was an advertising dodge and
worked like a charm. The papers pub
lished the story and people hocked TO
the store.

The AduIterntIon OF FOOD.

The subject of adulteration Of food
has been before the public for years.
AS n result of the agitation there has
been state and national legislation in
The interest of the consumer, though II
Is very far from always being effective.
In New York state the agricultural
department has been very active and
has secured evidence that has led to
the indictment of many offenders. The
attorney general of the state has been
urged to compromise these suits on
the ground Of ignorance Of the law on
the part of the accused, their stand
ing in the community, their inability
TO pay the penalty II convicted. The
result of these petitions has been the
Issuing of a circular letter by the at
torney general to all the Representa-
tives of the department of law In the
state saying that the prosecution Of
evildocrs, not the persecution of the
Individual, is the purpose Of the law;
that the health of the people Of the
state is OF vital Importance; that the
purity of the milk furnished consum-
ers is of peculiar Importance to the
most helpless Of the communicates
bies, invalids and the aged. There
ought to be no compromise possible
with those who for profit have leopard
lied the health Of the people.
lee Of ~ ,lt Tor,
were set forth in new and startling
way before the senate committee on
manufactures recently in New York
city, which strongly emphasizes the
necessity of rigidly enforcing the laws
against the manufacture and sale of
adulterated and poisoned foods. The
speaker was Professor Herbert W.
Hart. He said the persistent adultera-
ton of all classes of food Is response
BILE for the present degeneration of the
race and would be responsible for a
future generation of idiots. He advo-
Gated the use of the whole wheat and
said that the appetite for beer is the
result of the craving of the system for
the life giving elements that are taken
from wheat by its manufacture into
white tour. Previous testimony be-
fore this same committee has shown
that a large percentage of staple arti-
cles of manufactured food sold in this
country is adulterated with substances
more or less harmful If not poisonous !
TO the human system. That such food |
must In time produce a race of de-
generates and imbeciles can hardly be |
doubted.

ments SO often expressed, let US Offer
a few comments taken from last
week. Kimball Graphic, edited by
one of the brightest and cleanest
democrats in the state:
"a word OF advice to our life long
friend and coRpanlon, the Democrat
ic party, is opportune: The Ameri-
can flag, once hoisted by the fortunes
of war-or otherwise-is nightly
ticklish thing to pull down. It's neg
atiyeness during the dark days of
the rebellion, when the very life OF
the republic was at stake, banished
the once great party OF ofJefferson and
Jackson from administration OF al
fairs for q quar- ter OF a century,
mistake which hung like a night,
mare over the party for nearly two
generations and effectively barred
the doors of the white house against
it," 80.
Bro Pusey closes his editorial thus :,
"Next November the people who
are not personally interested in the.
administration in the way OF u fat
appointment or something OF that
nature, can see good, reason and
will have triumphed and imperial,
