10 The Ffoe lance

To The Free Lance:

better qualified TO write letter room

| have determined 10 send you this.
The canvass IN this paTt Of the First
District seems very sluggish and with
out the usual life. The Democratic
candidate for Congress is too well
known through his inability 10 do
much for his district. Having failed
TO do anything worthy TO be mentioned
when he had the Administration his
way. no one expects him TO do even SO
much under O Republican admiuistTa'
ton. Hence | claim it rs high time
the people Of this district had made ar
their minds TO Try some one who ~ Ia
accord with the party Of progress.

A Clever Dog.

There is more in a dog than mans
philosophy accounts for. No theory
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. defined as a
faculty prior TO experience and indie
pendent reason-wilI explain some ac-
tons Of n clever dog whose case is
reported by a correspondent of the
London Spectator:
l knew 4 dog in Ireland-a retriever
who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish in his mouth, to be
filed at the late dinner. For some
reason his master wished TO make a
change and to feed him twice a day
instead of once.
The dog resented this. and. when told
to bring the dish, refused, and it could
nowhere be found, on which his master
spoke angrily TO him and ordered him
to bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepish ex-
preston he went down the length OF
the garden and began scratching up
the soil, where he had buried the bowl
deep down TO avoid having TO bring it
at an hour of which he did not ap-
prove.

Beda.

We cannot tell with any certainty
when the first portable furniture was
invented, and, to judge by the ark as
it survives among our children, Noah
was either ignorant of such things or,
and more probably, denied himself
their use for the time being in order
to leave more room for the animals.
But long before Cowper somewhat
alphabetically sang the sofa Homer
was proud to enumerate the cherished
and decorated pieces of furniture in
the tents of the heroes before Troy
and described Odysseus' pleasure in
seeing once more his own beautiful
bed as sympathetically as any other
incident of the return, while that he
had a second best bed is one of the
very few personal facts we know re-
garding our Shakespeare.
Shades of Ulysses and Shakespeare!
A bed was n bed then. In Greece, a
couch worthy of a hero; in England,
a miniature stage of life, with its tap
estried roof and hangings and curtains
that rose or fell with fitting pomp on
the great scenes of the domestic dra-

Tales of the Nose.

Indented nostrilS evidence meanness,
wide nostrils n spendthrift. A tip jut-
ting out far from the face is a token OF
vulgarity, refinement being the pos
session of the owners of noses that do
not stand out far at the end. An aqui-
line bend denotes firmness of will and
sense of justice; the long, narrow
bridge procIaims a fastidious, self suf-
ficient yet often tender nature. All the
active qualities-combative eager
ness, passionate temper, power of ha-
tired, jealousy, ambition-go with the
more common type of Roman nose.
The Greek form, on the contrary, tells
Of artistic capabilities and love of in
animate beauty.

tional committee, WHO'S close to Shive-
", says he believes Shively would ac-
cept. Chairman Johnson, of the ma
tional executive committee, who at
tended the state convention, said: The
vice presidential candidate must be
a man who has constantly and con-
scientiously advocated the doctrines
for which the Democratic party
stands today and he must in all es-
sentials be acceptable to Mr.. Bryan.
They might lind many such men,
but l believe none east of Indiana
would suit the western Democracy as
we'll as Mr.. Shively. His record as
Democrat has been SO clean and con-
sistent that he surely would be ac-
ceptable TO the eastern and southeast
ern delegates. In addition to this his
location in Indiana furnishes very
strong argument in favor of his Sc
lection. Indiana is probably Demo-
cratic. but if there is one thing which
eliminates the last element of uncer-
tainty it would be. in my Judgment,
the selection of Mr.. Shively as cur
vice presidential candidate" National
Secretary Walsh, State Chairman Mar
tin, and Mayor Taggart approved the
movement.

He Cashes Pay Checks.

New York pays its employees by
check, and each pay day sees n great
many men with their whole months
salary in their hand, but no money.
Various bankers whose places of bust
ness are near the city hall are willing
to cash the city's checks, but they
charge a commission, usually 10 cents
on each 500.
The proprietor of 4 saloon near the
city hall is willing to cash the checks
without charging commission, and on
pay days his establishment is damned
with officials. He makes his profit on
the increased sale of liquids at his bar,
for no man after having his check cash
ed leaves the place without buying n
drink. The proprietor of the estab
lishment provides against the city pay
day by drawing $4,000 from the bank
and hiring man to take entire charge
of the check cashing business. Ere
Quently the entire $4,000 is exchanged
for checks. When this happens, the
proprietor sends for more money. No
city employee asks to have his pay
check cashed and is not accommodate
ed, and the extra pay day sales at the
bar are n considerable feature of the
years trade.-Ncw York Sun.
