A DOGS LOVE OF HOME.


Canine Travels Alone and Afoot from III
Reno, q. t., to Muscatine, In.
Half starved and with feet badly
swollen and eyes sunk deeply in its
head from prlvations endured during
a long and wearlsome journey, large
Newfoundland dog belonging to G. w.
Franklin, of this city. arrived homo
today from FL Reno, o. T., having
made the entire journey from that
city afoot.
Arriving at his masters doorstep
the faithful animal collapsed. and
would have died of fatigue but for the
immediate use of restoratives. His
long nails had been worn most entire
ly off i'm his run for home, and all four
feet were swollen three times their
usual size. In spite of his fatigue the
dog is already recovering his former
health and spirits.
Knowing his qualities as watch
dag, Mr.. Franklin loaned him to his
brother, Melvin Franklin who with
Lis family. was about TO start for FL
Reno. The party left Muscatine on
May 10 and arrived in El Reno three
weeks ago. A letter to friends in
Muscatine upon their arrival stated
that the dog was still with the CON-
pany and had proven valuable aid
in watching the wagons on the trip
westward
No further information was re.
ceived until this morning. when the
dogs arrival gave evidence that it pre-
ferred comfortable home in Iowa to
the wild life OF the land of lottery dis
trict.
Mr.. Franklin resided at 151 Boone
street when the dog was taken away,
but during It's absence moved TO the
house adjoining their old residence.
The dog naturally passed by the new
home upon his return this morning
and went to the old house and knocked
paw. Mrs. Franklin saw him and
rushed to the adjoining yard. closely
followed by her children, and threw
her arms about the dogs neck in her
joy at his return. The children were
heartbroken when the Newfoundland
fell at their feet. thoroughly worn out
after it's long journey.
Mr.. Franklin refused a neat sum for
his dog this afternoon, saying that no
price would now tempt him to part
with so faithful an animal-Kansas

Mountain Climbing,

There is without doubt a wonderful

their snowclad submits seem to offer
a perpetual challenge. Anxiously he
studies their steep and rock fianks,

ing glaciers of solid ice. and consid-
ers in what part he may most safely

Not one inherited wealth. The secre-

The ease of locomotion and change
has probably been the principal cause
of the vast herding of human beings
in great cities. The human stream has
flowed resistlessly toward industrial
and distributing centres, and many
new varieties of experience have come
into being. The rapid social currents
set up in all parts of the world are
becoming ever more complex and diff
cult to unravel, and the work of the
economist and social scientist is cor

Cemeteries are choked with the

melancholy condition through the same
agonizing process. Human records
will never show the number and class
of the millions that came into the

defeat under the weight of woes that

In the course of a discussion in the
Royal United Service institution of
London the point was made that the
most dangerous combination in a war
against Great Britain would be that
of Russia and the United States. A
letter from Captain Mahan, of five
years ago, was quoted, in which he
replied to a question whether war be-
tween this country and Great Britain
was possible, that terrible as the fact
was, he could not hide from himself
the conviction of its possibility" The
possibility. even the probability, that
in such a war we should have Russia
