composition on seals: 1T is very cruel
to kill seals just because we want to
wear their skins ourselves, but it is
rather fortunate for them, as it shows
that they were created for some good
purposes"

A grave and courtly gray haired
man. handsomely dressed, was walk
ing in Central park the other day
when little girl came running along
the path, rolling a hoop. She was
richly clothed and bore all the e.
ternal marks Of luxurious upbringing.
Following her was a maid. The child
heedlessly guided her hoop against
the old mans legs and it fell on the
grass. lea,ed at the sight OF so
pictures1u little lady, he stopped,
though with considerable stiffness,
and, picking it up, handed it to her,
at the same time raising his silk hat
and making her a stately bow. The
child looked up AT him grayely, and
then she scowled slightly, saying:
Snow, don't you be so fresh!" Civ

old man Strengthened mp his back and
walked OH, doubtless parvelling ut

THE UNDER uoc.

BY MONROE H. RosENFIELD.
Who's for the under dog?
I'm for the under dogl
For the men who nobly stand
For their own dear native land
With the might OF freemen grandl
I'm for the under dog!
Who's for the under dog?
I'm for the under dogl
Since the God OF Freedom led
Where our sires for Freedom bled
TIL our starry flag was spread!
I'm for the under dog?
Who's for the under dog?
I'm for the under dog!
While the crave for gain and greed
To Distinctions powers lead
Right and Justice be my creed!
I'm for the under dog!
Who's for the under dog?
I'm for the under dogl
Think you crash OF shot and shell
And the battles horrid hell
Can the right OF Freemen quell?
I'm for the under dog!
New York Clipper.

Will never moment stop
To SEQ which dog is ri sht or wrong,
But will shout for the dog on top.
"But, for me, I never can pause to ask
Which dog may be in the right;
For my heart will beat. while 1t beats at all
For the under dog In the fight"

| il Is mistake to be too grssping, to
attempt to bite off more than you can
chew. The Fort has "fallen down.
asserts the Express, on the project for
| the raising of funds for the ertsin-
ment OF the cattle raisers: her prestige
| as a great stock center is liz jeopardy
| and her business men are having cold
chills over the specter of San Antonio 3
glad hospitality extended to the cattle
raisers. On the other hand the San
Antonio delegation that went to Fort
Worth last March can have the salts
| faction of saying with all the gusto
imaginable, Il told you so.' The
story is briefly told 10 the local columns
of the Fort Worth Mail-Telegrsm, as
follows:
A meeting of the citizens com nit
tee, whose mission it is to secure the
means With which to provide suitable
entertain ment for the March meeting
of the Texas Cattle Rsisers" association
will be held this afternoon at O'Clock
The chairman, J. B. Collins, reports
that the committee has not been able
to raise the desired amount of mooey
required to provide for suitable en-
terrainment and in consequence the
finance committee, composed of w. G..
Newly, w. G. Turner. ]. Washer and
J. w. Spencer, hiss asked to be reliev-
ed from the further work OF soliciting
funds. To date the committee has
only raised $780, when it is es-
timated that the amount needed is
about $500.
The meeting this afternoon will be
held in the board of trade headquarters
and 1T is the intention to appoint an
other committee which will be en-
powered to continue the work of solicit
ting funds.
1t is stated that one, which is pos
sib y the only reason, why people are
slow in contributing, is the fact that
they only recently gave literally for
the entertainment of the national cat
tie convention, and the state cattle
convention coming so close on the
heels of the national m citing, has had
much TO do in retarding she solicitors
who have just resigned.
Mr.. Collins deprecates this condition
of affairs, inasmuch as San Antonio
stands ready aud willing to do the
handsome thing to secure the next
convention. He thinks that Fort
Worth should be up and doing If she
expects to get the 1901 conveo-
ton.
OF the $500 needed it will take con-
siderable to be used to pay the
premiums to be awarded in the blood
ed and live stock show. Many of the
blOOded cattle associations have club
bed together and contributed $l70O
with the understanding that Fort
Worth would give an equal sum.

The family entrance will be closed

it unp ecessary to learn the lines for
