SUICIDE OF A DOG.
Dewey Could Not Stand the Ridfcule
and Humiliation That Fair
Cut Caused.

A large Newfoundland dog named
Dewey, owned by family in Brooklyn,
is declared to have committed suicide,
says the Philadelphia Enquirer. Ow-
ing to the warm weather that prevailed
lately the head of the family had the
dogs hair cut very short-so short, in
fact, that the skin could be seen through
what little hair remained. When the
operation was completed homelier
dog could hardly be imagined. His
large feet and head, in contrast with
his long, lean legs and body, made a
laughable appearance.
Before his hair was cut Dewey was
the leader of all the dogs in the neigh
borhood, but after the clipping the mo-
ment he saw one of his former chums
he would put his tail between his legs
and sneak away as fast as his long legs
could carry him. He appeared to be
so ashamed of himself that when any
body looked at him he would stink
away, and no amount of coaxing could
bring him back.
The humiliation seemed to worry him
so much that one night he was seen
deliberately to lay himself down in
front of a fast-moving trolley car, and
before the motorman could check the
speed of the car Dewey was dead.

started Too High.

In her book, ''The Last of the Great
Scouts" his, sister relates this story Of
Buffalo Bills" visit to little church
he had helped to build at North Platte:
His wife and sister were in the con-
gregation, and this ought to have not
only kept him awake, but it should
have insured perfect decorum on his
part. The opening hymn commenced
with the words: 'Oh, for ten thousand
tongues to sing etc. The organist,
who played ''by ear" started the tune
in too high key to be followed by the
choir and congregation, and had to try
again. A second attempt ended, like
the first, in failure. "Oh, for ten thou
sand tongues to sing, my blest-"
came the opening words for the third
time, followed by squeak from the
organ and relapse into painful silence.
Will could contain himself no longer,
and blurted out: "Start it at five thou
sand, and mebbe some of the rest of US
can get in"

"A Pair of Shoes" captions an
article in the Duluth Herald of
Monday in which considerable
unnecessary comment is made re-
garding the practice of municipal
courts und justices of thep peace on
the ranges, of sending prisoners
to the county Jail at Duluth. The
particular cause for the enormous
agitation in the head of Assistant
County Attorney McClintock, was
the case of Edward Fitch who was
bound over to the grand jury for
stealing pair of shoes from a
store at Tower.
When w. B. Phelps was elect
ed county attorney, the citizens
thought they had a man who would
attend to the cases from the
ranges. But it seems mistaken
idea prevailed and so far no con-
victions have followed some of the
worst cases on the records. Even
when man is sent down who has
maliciously and with murderous
intent carved a fellow man in
twenty eight different and distinct
places, Assistant McClintock, who
seems to be the great Il am,
either through inability to handle
the case or through some other
reason, works hard and gets three
months in the county Jail for the
fellow. The Duluth officials only
know the ranges when election
comes around and we think it
would be good idea to lopp off
the salary of the county attorney
and his assistant until they are able
to attend to the county's business.
The ranges are paying their
share OF the taxes and want their
business attended to. If the pres
ent attorneys are not endowed
with sufficient gray matter to at
tend to fellow who is q profes-
fional thief and was arrested for
stealing pair of shoes before he
carried off the balance of the town,
why, hire some one that is. The
ranges may just as well let their
murderers, thieves, ETC., go
This is no joke.

TREE CULTURE IN GERMANY
Priced Occupations of the
People.

While congress and the several state
legislatures have for years been flood
ed with petitions and proposed laws for
the preservation of the forest trees of
the country, nearly all of them more
or less defective, the people of Germany
have solved the problem with very little
ado. Germany is an old country. Gen.
turtles ago what we might call it's vir-
gin timber was exhausted and the
country found itself with dense popu-
lation dependent on limited area of
land to supply its needs for wood ma
terial. What should they do? Should
they stint their use in this direction to
niggardly amount? Should they call
on the stock of newer countries for
their supply? They did neither of
these things. They went to work to
develop the resources and capabilities
of their own lands. The states and
the mobiles supported the work. Sci
entists labored and managers expert
mented. Forest schools were estab-
lished to spread through the land the
knowledge that had been gained.
Finally they piled up mass of exact in
formation about trees and everything
related to their life, and established
system of forest management that is
one of the finest monuments of the
thoroughness, the conservatism and the
patience of the German race. And to-
day the forest stands as one of the
prime objects of the peoples regard, a
source ofhealth, wealth and national
independence.

A crowd of 800 people who witnessed

Above Usual Excellence.
Two of the acts on the bill at She'll
pot Park this week are 30 far and away
from usual excellence that they are
deserving of particular commentator.
The first is that OF Gilmour and Iatour,
in which the formers wonderful bass
voice is heard to especial advantage in a
number OF ballads. Miss Latour adds
zest to the act by her yivacity, dash and
chic and their introduced business is all
new and most artistically presented.
The whole act is away from anything
like it and in consequence is refreshing
novelty.
The second feature is the singing turn
of Williams and Hood. Miss Ollie
Hoods baritone voice has always been
considered one of the finest on the stage.
1t is rich, resonant and OF unusual COM
pass and has been most carefully culti-
waited. Their act is neatly and hand
somely dressed and throughout is of the
highest artistic excellence.
