it gave perfect satisfaction, eliciting

in the window of the firm. Thereupon
q rival firm posted in their window

ago that a Boston terrier was
curiosity at bench show.
The Great Danes, the intelligent
collies and the ever-popular, sad
eyed and sagacious St. Demands
rough coats - enjoyed the major
portion of the public popularity.
The fancier was in rare good luck
if he found more than four or five
good specimens of the shaggy coated
Newfoundland dog; more than pair
of Russian wolf hounds; a specimen
of the English sheep dog or kennel
of Airdale terriers. Great strides
have been made in the breeding of
Boston terriers. Since the days OF
Toney Boy, Champion Monte, Bar
nard's Mike, Buckley's Paddle, Welt's
Ephis, etc., the Boston has become
the pride of many enthusiastic vo-
taries of kenneldom.
Why are the fox terrier classes SO
large? That is what is prompted by
seeing the classes for the little dogs
so we'll filled. George Whitney, well
known as one of the best authorities
in the kennel world west of the AL
leghanies, recently told me that
there was scarcely no market for fox
terriers. Those who owned kennels
had a lot of them on hand and
showed them all at the nearest bench
shows.
George Gould, who pays great
deal of attention to dogs, has been
a frequent prize winner at eastern
and western shows, does not care
about the slump in popularity of the
fox terrier, evidently. Both he and
the less we'll known nominators in
the east profess to believe that after
the fad for Boston terriers has run
itself out, the public will settle down
to it's usual admiration of collies,
St. Bernards, fox terriers and the
hunting breeds.

THE SIN OF NAGG1NG.
One That Destroys Home Comfort
and Creates DiscOrd and Dis
content Among Servants.

There is an exceedingly disagree
able habit into which some people
fall without seeming to notice it.
This is nagging. They cannot say
what they have to say and then let it
alone, but keep pecking and pecking
at it on every occasion and if occa-
sions do not arise naturally, they
make them. In this nagging, sar-
casm or irony bear a leading part. A
thing may be said once or twice as
pleasant raillery, in a genial humor,
but when repeated over and over it
ceases to be fun. It then cuts. Sar-
casm is too-edged tool; it cuts and
wounds the one at whom it is aimed,
and it irritates and toughens the one
who uses it. It is q dangerous tool
for one to use who wishes to be
either kind or just. It comes easily
to the lips and the intellect takes q
certain kind of delight in aptness, in
genuity or sharpness. It's use grows
on one. At least the habit becomes
so habitual that it is used uncon-
sciously. However good-natured one
seems to take it it is almost certain
to leave q sting; there is q wound
that hurts. Struggle against it as
one will, there will often be an inn
preston carried that some part of it
is meant in earnest.
Too often do all of us wound the
feelings of others by carelessness in
speech. We cannot too carefully
guard ourselves against the nagging
habit. 1t rasps and wears out the
best of dispositions. Let us endeav-
or ever to make our speech kindly,
even when obliged to find fault. "A
blow with O word strikes deeper than
a blow with a sword" We shall never
err by speaking too kindly. These
naggers are often kind at heart and
would not willingly wound another.
They have formed the habit uncon-
sciously and are not aware of how
frequently they indulge in that kind
of talk. It does not occur to them
that anyone may take further
meaning than they have meant, or
that any part of it will be taken
seriously. It is unavoidable, however,
that this is SO, says the Milwaukee
Journal.
The nagging habit is the real rea-
son why some women find it difficult
to retain servants. It is for the
sharpness of their tongues that some
really excellent people are avoided
and disliked in society. People dread
the tongue lashings that slip so east
" from lips and without real malice,
but they nevertheless cut deep. Let
us put a guard on ourselves and SEQ
that this habit of sarcastic speech
and nagging is not ours. The Chinese
have a saying that "A mans CONVEX
sation is the mirror of his thoughts"
There is a truth in it. If we habit
ually talk in q certain way we grow

balls for every champion, every
player who has contested in cham
pionship, and for thousands upon
thousands of other followers of the
gentlemen's game for over half CEN
fury.
1t was my pleasure to be invited to
his ivory retreat not long ago to
watch him select some rough blocks
of African ivory, from which he was
to make some sets of balls for Cham
pion Jacob Schaefer to take with him
to Raris for play in the games with
Sutton and other kings of balk line.
Tho~e rough blocks had been 'cur-
ling down in little close, stuffy
'roora for many years, and were sup
posed to be proof against checking
in ordinary temperatures. The un-
erring eye of the veteran selected
the blocks needed, and in jiffy he
had one of them on the "chuck
lathe" turning off the rough corners.
By degrees the ball grew under his
def fingers. In an incredibly short
period he placed in my hand a per-
feet sphere-as nearly round as the
l. genius of human being and turning
FOOLS could make one. The sense of
touch is so acute in the old ivory
workers finger tips that he can de-
tect the slightest irregularity.
After the balls are turned, his skill
comes into play in selecting ''broth-
ers and sisters''-balls of the same
resiliency and life, weight and grain
for the same set.
"Well, if you had been handling
The turning chisel for more than so
years you would have it down as fine
" as I have" said the old man, when
I expressed surprise over his rapidity
of working and the excellence of his
work. "Mine is an exclusive sort of
a profession. There are but few of
US, and, anyway, if there were hun
dred ivory Ball turner's, the cham
pions would want the man who had
been making balls for 50 years to
turn out their spheres. Ivory is just
as human in it's properties as any in
animate substance can be. The tur-
ner produces a finished article, but
the slightest breath of cold air is
likely to throw his work out OF
plumb. Ivory is as perverse as a
IMAM. It does all sorts of unexpected

Killed at Telephone.

James J. McKusick was killed at
Duluth by shock of electricity, while
talking through telephone.
McKusick was at his home and stood
upon a steam register in order to use
more conveniently the telephone.
While engaged in conversation he sud-
denly turned up his hands, his body
seemed to stiffen and he fell dead at
his wife's feet.
It is supposed that the telephone

metal, formed a circuit. He was 20

Robbed tho State Prison.

Andrew Anderson, released from the
penitentiary on Feb. S, after serving
f1ve-year term for grand larceny, was
arraigned in the municipal court at
Saltwater, charged with burglarizing
w. B. & w. g. Jordan's shoe warehouse
in the prison yards.
Anderson freely admits the crime,
and says that after his release from
prison he formed the plan of burglar
izing the shoe warehouse. He went to
Saltwater fresh from term in the
workhouse in Minneapolis, and scaled
the prison walls, carefully making his
way to q guardhouse on the wall. Here
he found a rope which was used to haul
wood to the guardhouse. Hand over
hand he let himself down into the prison
yards and avoided the night guard on
his rounds by hiding. He entered the
warehouse and took three cases OF
shoes, or thirty-six pairs. These he
carried to the wall, fastened two of the
cases to the rope, again scaled the wall
and hauled up his plumber. Descend
ing again he tied the third case to the
rope, and as before pulled it to the top
without discovery. He then went over
the outer wall and conveyed the stolen
goods to an old paint shop belonging
to the car company and standing on
the banks of Lake St. Croix.
Warden Wolfer and men who have
had long experience with all phases OF
crime are amazed at the reckless dar-
ing displayed by the former convict.
