HIS JUDGMENT WAS WRONG.
TrIbuIatIons of a Hound That Tried
to Whip All the Dogs In the
NeiEhbOEhOOd.

Sooner was a waif, or, more correct
ly speaking, a soldier of fortune. No
one knew his antecedents. He had
dragged himself into Hogarth's yard
day, worn out and exhausted after
a long run on the trail of a buck.
There was no telling how far he had
come, as a fast hound will cover many
miles in a day, and keep it up for
two or three days, But he had driven
the buck into the lake, and the Ho-
garth boys had killed it; therefore
they treated the dog well, and as he
liked the place he remained and be-
came one of the household, relates the
Chicago Chronicle,
The time Sooner discovered he had
fighting blood in his veins marked an
epoch in his life. He overestimated
his ability, it is true, and suffered in
consequence. A new settler moved
into that part of the country and es-
tablished himself about six or seven
miles from Hogarth's. Regarding the
size of his family, he was far behind
Hogarth, but when it came to dogs
it wa simply a walkaway. Several
breeds were represented in his collec-
ton, but the "yaller dog predom-
mated.
Sooner undertook to clean out the
entire crowd alone and unaided. 1t
was something of an undertaking, and
he spent six out of seven days in the
hospital while the war was on.
"He doesn't seem to be much Of a
fighter" 1 remarked to Hogarth one
day when the subject WAS under dis
cussion.
"Oh, he kin fight all right" Hogarth
replied; "it's his Judgment what's
wrong. Sooner's a fust-rate fighter,
but he's a dern poor jedge Of dorgs.''
He was game, though, and stuck at
it until he had conquered each one
of the new dogs in turn, with the ex,
ception of a huge brindle bulldog
With this dog he employed strategy
He bowed down before him and ad.
dressed him with smooth words and
made friends with him, and then one
day he enticed him over to his own
home, and all the dogs there pitched
on the brindle bull and half killed
him. Sooner became more bIase thar
ever after this achievement. 1t S,
plainly showed his superiority to al
the rest of the dog creation.
This fighting trait was unusual il
a hound, for as a rule they are peace
ably inclined. 1t served to ~accentuatt
the fact that Sooner was not Ik,
other dogs.

Signing is but another name for
oxygen Starvation. The cause OF
signing is most frequently worry. An
interval Of several seconds often fol-
lows moments Of mental disquietuds,
during which time the chest walls re-
main rigid until the imperious DE-
mand is made for oxygen, thus caus-
ing the deep inhalation. 1t is the e1-
piration following the inspiration that
is properly termed the sigh, and this
sigh is simply an effort of the organ
ism to obtain the necessary supply OF
oxygen. The remedy is to cease wOr-
rying. One may be anxious, but there
is no rational. reason for worrying. A
little philosophy win Danish worry
at once. Worry viii do no good; II
viii rob one Of pleasures when bless
ings do come, as n win not be in g

None can foresee the outcome Of the guar.
rel between foreign powers over the divi-
sion Of China. il is interesting to watch
the going to pieces Of this ancient but un-
progressive race. Many people in America
are also going to pieces because Of dyspep-
STA, constipation, blood, liver and stomach
diseases. We are living too fast, but
strength, vigor and good health can be re-
tanned if we keep of and cure the above dis
eases with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

w Io.-(Special)- To-day de-
lopments at the state de-
partment confirm the state
ment previously made in
these dispatches that Ameri-
can troops are to be with
drawn from the Philippines and
forwarded to China. Notwith-
standing the repeated denial of
this statement the order was for
mally issued at the war depart
ment today.
This action indicates that the
United States proposes to bear its
share OF the burden of the cam
paign against Pekiu. After de-
liberation, the administration con-
cluded that our government
would not be in position to have
a voice in the final adjustment
OF the Chinese problem. This
action does not conflict with the
policy set forth in the note to the
powers TO the effect that the gov
ernmcnt would COnhne itself to
the relief OF Americans in dan
ger in China. Those who have
studied the wording OF the note
carefully declare that it IS one OF
the most important diplomatic
prOclamatiOnS since the pro-
nouncement of the Monroe doc
trine.
In reply to instructions of the
secretary OF war OF July 9TH, Gen
eral Macarthur has cabled the

Large forces of Chinese troops

"IEN TSIN, Thursday, July g.
Large forces of Chinese troops
yesterday attacked settlement
from two directions-one from west
ern arsenal and the other upon rail-
way station on the opposite bank of
the river.
The Chinese evidently now have a
more capable commander. The at
tack from the arsenal was directed
upon what is probably the weakest
point of the defense, which has hith-
erto not been pressed.
The Chinese advanced on this side
across an open plain without cover
and the attack was easily repulsed
by the British guns. The enemy
made simultaneous attack upon the
station with large infantry force,
covered by the fire of eleven guns.
The British replied with two of the
Terri ble's twelve-pounders and five
smaller guns, while the combined
forces of British, French, Russian
and japanese infantry moved out to
deal with the Chinese infantry at
tacks.
The Chinese artillery attack was
excellent, and the allied troops suf-
fered severely from n well directed
shell fire. The japanese, whose be-
havior was splendid, executed well
conceived movement and succeeded
in turning the Chinese left and driv-
ing them from their strong position
among the circle trenches.
The Chinese retired to the native
city and the allied infantry then
withdrew and the affair became an
artillery duel, lasting until darkness,
with little damage to either side.
A British regiment of Cinnamon,
which was engaged, proved very
steady under fire.
The casualties of the allies have
not vet been ascertained and 1t is
impossible to estimate the enemy's
loss.
A welcome addition to the defense
was received yesterday In the shape
of two more of the Terrible's "12s."
