ANIMAL iMITATlvENEss.
How "a Beggar's Dog Crows to BE
Like His Master.

Like His Master.
cone of the most curious traits to be
found in the animal nature" said an
observant citizen, sis that which grows
out of the unconscious imitativeness of
creatures of the lower order. l have
observed many instances of where the
creatures of a lower order have taken
on the characteristics in some notice
able degree of members of the human
family. One might know, for instance,
the beggars dog from the look of the
dog. from the droop of the eye, the pa
thetic hang of the lip and certain gen
eral air of dependency and hopeless
ness which seems to speak in the very
nature of the animal. l mention the
beggar's dog because it is familiar
example. The beggar's dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles, never frolics,
but simply sits by his master and
broods and begs for whatever charity
may give.
81 have seen the dog character mold
ed under happier influences, and the
dog became more cheerful. Rs, was a
hgnt hearted, free and easy sort of
creature and seemed to get something
of the SUMMER side of things. l am all
most tempted to say that if you will
show me mans dog will tell you
what manner of man the owner is
with particular reference to tempera-
ment and his moods The melancholy
man, the man who groyels mentally
along the gloomier groves, the pessi-
mistic man who is always looking at
the dark side of the picture, all the men
who come within these unhappy CLASH
fications rarely own cheerful dog
The dog unconsciously takes to the
ways of the master and in his moods
initiates the masters way of thinking.
s'But turn to the dog of the jolly,
cheerful fellow. Watch him show his
teeth in laughter when the master ap-
proaches. He is darting across the
yard and dancing and frisking around
the masters feet in the happiest way
imaginable, and he is up to all kinds of
FRANKS and does all kinds of little
things to indicate the good nature that
is in him. He does as his master does
and seems to take the same general
view of life. These are small things,
guess, but they show just how impor-
tant ones way of thinking may influ-
ence ones dog and change his whole
view of life."-New Orleans Times

Freckles.

Some people are born freckled, and
others have freckles thrust upon them.
The former class might as we'll accept
their freckles as dispensation of Prov
1dence, for nothing can be done for
them. The latter can always get rid
of their affliction by using couple Of
drains Of sal ammoniac with an ounce
of German cologne, the solution mixed
with pint of distilled water. Applied
two or three times a day it will cure
the worst case of acquired freckles on
record.

The Word "Awful.u

In Mrs. Oiiphant's Life of Principal
Tulloch" Of ST. Andrews we find DR..
Tulloch speaking of some one as ''an
awful Tory" Mrs. Oliphant says in a
footnote:
Lest the principal should be accused
of slang, may say that the adjective
is strictly Scotch and had been en-
ployed for generations by a people
fond Of strong speaking before it
crossed the border and gave to the
youth Of England a freshly energetic
if inelegant word"

Poisoning The System.

1t is through the bowels that the body is
cleansed of impurities. Constipation keeps
these poisons in the system causing headache,
ly eruptions and finally serious illness unless
remedy is applied. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers prevent this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action Of the
bowels These little pills do not act violently
but ny. strengthening the bowels enable them
to perform their own work. Never gril,e nor

AN IDEAL MEDICINE.
A New Discovery Which Cures All
 Forms of Catarrh.

The tablet is the ideal form in which to administer medicine, but until recently no successful catarrh tablet had ever been attempted There is now, however, an excellent and palatable remedy for ca- tarrh in tablet form known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and sold by druggists, composed of the most recent discoveries in medicine for cure of catarrh and re- suits from their use have been highly gratifying.
 The old time treatment of catarrh was in the form of inhalers, washes, douches sprays etc. Later on internal remedies were used with greater success, but being in liquid or powder form were incon- venient to use and like all medicines in liquid or powder form, lose their medi- cinaa properties when opened or exposed to the air.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain highly concentrated antiseptics, Hydrastin Blood root, and Red gum which kill the catarrh germs in the blood and mucous membrane, and In this respect are strict ly scientific and modern, because all au- thorities are now agreed that catarrh is a constitutional blood disease, and local applications can have only a transitory effect.
 The use of nhalers, douches and sprays is a nuisance and inconvenience and can in no wise compare favorably with the same antiseptics given in tablet form in- formally, where they can reach the stom- ach and blood and kill catarrh germs right where they are produced.
 A prominent lawyer and public speaker of Pittsburg says: I have been troubled with catarrh of the head and throat for twelve years. In this climate 1t seems im- possible to get rid of it. The continual dropping of mueus from the nose into the throat caused irritation and hoarse- ness, seriously interfering with my public speaking. It took me an hour or more of coughing, gagging, expectorating and sneezng every morning before I could settle down to work and this condition gradually brought on catarrh of stomach, causing loss of appetite, poor digestion and foul breath, which annoyed me exceedingly. My physician advised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I took them for two months and was astonished to find how quickly they cleared my head, throat and stomach and I have no hesitation in recommending them. They are not only pleasant to take, but they seem to get at the very root of the trouble, because since using them I have had no trace of catarrh

WHAT IT PAID IN GOLD.
Some Dissatisfaction Over Award In
 the Plus Fund Case.

Washington, October 22.-Some of the parties int nterested in the Plus fund ar bitration are not satisfied with the amount of the award in their favor and have appealed to the state department to endeavor to induce The Hague tribunal to reopen the case and amend the de- cision so as to make the judgment pay able in gold. The original finding was in favor of the claimants for lump sum of $1,420,6s2, and an annual payment of s43O5O, payable in Mexican currency" This currency just now is quoted at about 10 cents on the dollar as compared to American gold. so that to change the judgment as requested would involve an enormous increase in the total of the judgment.
 After looking into the treaty by which the arbitration was arranged Secretary Hay has found that it was expressly stipulated that the tribunal should find not only the amount but the kind of cur rency in which the award should be paid, and he has consequently informed the claimants that he cannot grant their re- quest.

.BLOODLESS DUEL
 FOUGHT IN DALLAS
G. W. Coleman D. A. Calvin
 Shoot at Each Other
NEITHER WAS SCRATCHED
Mr. Coleman Makes Statement, In Which He Says the First Shot Was Fired By Mir. coIvin.
 Occurred at orrvilIe.

Selma, October 22.-(Special) )-There was a bloodless duel this morning at orrville thriving village about fifteen miles from Selma. where quite num- Der of sensational affairs have happened of late.
 The participants in the duel were George w. Coleman of Orrville and D. A. Cal win of this city. Both gentlemen emptied their revolvers at each other at close range, but neither received any bodily harm. The shooting occurred about a half hour before train time. and while MT. Calvin was waiting to take the train back to his home. He was seen regarding the affair and his statement follows:
 T went down to Orrville yesterday aft ernoon on business and spent the night at G. W. Coleman's home. as has always been my custom, Mrs. Coleman being my cousin. MT. Coleman and myself slept in the same bed last night, and we have been on the best of terms at all times. This morning early we had a misunder- standing, and he ordered me out of the house. I left the house, and at the door of his residence he intlmated that if wanted to, we would take a pop at each other. I told him to come on out in the street and we could settle the matter any way he pleased, but he went back into the house, telling me as he slammed the door never to come to his house again.
 T then went to his store where l had sent several guns for him to sell and got my property and carried them to MT. Burts. l got them from his clerk while he was away, but we could not find one of the guns and later l went back to the store to get it. MT. Coleman was at the store at the time and after giving me the gun, having extracted the loads, he told me I need not get huffy about not finding the gun. I told him that I was not huffy, but as he said he was twenty one years old, I wanted him to know that I was fully of age. MT. McMillan, MT. Colemans clerk, persuaded me not to have any further words and I started down the steps, when he again repeated something about being twenty-one years old and as l turned he fired the first shot at me- He was then standing back of the counter of the store and was on the next to the top step. l. of course, de- tended myself and after the second shot opened fire upon as much of him as could see.
 MT. Coleman got down behind the counter and emptied the remaining shots in his revolver at me I fired four times through the door and the last shot through the window"
