Our boy, Charlie, was also subject to at
tacks Of pneumonia and plcurisy. Our

Guests Drew the Line at Dog.

st. Louis Republic: The Otoe and
Iowa tribes Of Indians have broken off
all friendly relations and declare they
will not visit one another hereafter.
1t is all due to the eating of dog
meat by the Iowa tribe. At their quar-
terly feasts the Iowa Indians slaugh-
tered hundreds Of fat dogs, fed the
meat to their guests and ate it them
selves. The Otoes became Disguised
with eating dog and read the riot act
to their neighbors, saying they would
not appear at their feasts again if
any more canine meat were served TO
them.
The Iowas replied that their fathers
had Toasted on dog meat, and that
they were rue 10 tribal traditions.
SO relations between the two bands
have been broken, and no more visit
ing with each other will take place.

Chicago Tribune: From the country.
THAT was evident,
Not the Dry Run or Pine Creek coun-
try, where two men use one pair Of sus-
penders between them, and where women
with large bare feet make their own soap,
but the country just beyond the farthest
suburbs, where the young men and
women show the demoralizing influence
Of a metropolitan civilization within easy
reach by occasionally wearing high,
choky collar and golf things.
Obviously this was the habitat Of the
large woman with the free stride who
swung along the crowded street with a

excessive culture peculiar to our large
centers OF civilization and enlightenment.
Had she looked back she might have
noticed a swarthy, smooth-faced, sinister
person of the opposite sex, who had been
following her for five minutes or more
through the crowd without seeming to see
her.
She did not look back.
She pursued her way, apparently inter-
ested only In the tall buildings and shop
windows.
But we must hasten.
FOR, at this moment, the sinister per-
son quickened his steps and came along

Then, in an instant, he darted off to
the right, his evident purpose being, as
the intelligent reader will have surmised,
to lose himself In the GROVE
AT the same moment the woman dis
tinctly felt her purse leave her hand
She merely Strengthened out her arm
and started with a surprisingly jerky
movement after the man who was trying
to lose himself.
The man with the sinister aspect APP
poared TO be having some trouble in max
ing his disappearance. He tore away
through the throng. but the large wo-
man was right at his heels.

And he stopped
With evident unwillingness.
But he stopped.
