SENSITIvENESS OF CoLLIES.
ExcitnbiIIty of the scotch Dogs on
Exhibition Is Something Piti-
full TO Behold.

The dog lover went to the show one
night lately, says the New York Post,
and when he came out he had changed
his mind about one thing. 81 will not
put Bob in there" he said with en-
phasis. at is all right for some.
don't mean to say there should be no
dog show, but collies should MOI be
entered. Just you go around to their
section and look at them. The st.
Bernards, the mastiffs, the bulls, the
bloodhounds, fox terriers, and, so far
as l could see, all the other breeds
were either enjoying the affair or
quite Indifferent to it, but the so or
more collies were in frightful state.
"These creatures are the most SEN
sitive and excitable of all dogs. They
are intensely alert to every motion
and sound, and no amount OF custom
seems to blunt their senses. They are
all nerves and intellect, and they must
understand the meaning of the sounds
and movements around them or be-
come frantic. There are some beau
tiful collies in the show, but IL was
terrible to watch them. I saw seven or
eight that had gone wild from the ex-
citement. They were not frightened
nor vicious, and yet they tugged at
their chains, reared up and plunged
forward, yelping, swapping and wag-
ging their tails all at the same time
One, beauty, lay sweating and trem-
bling in a corner of her bin with head
uplfted, giving vent to almost human
cries of pain I spoke to her and
caressed her but | could not attract
her attention. She was not in her
right mind. had intended to put my
Bob in next year. but would not dc
it for any consideration"

Horse Backed off Bridge

Since the construction of the brick
plants and cement works south of
town Washington avenue traffic has
grown heavy and the narrow bridge
over Elm creek, with its lone, steep
approaches, is dangerous place.
Two teams cannot pass on the bridge
and many narrow escapes from acct
dents have occurred there.
Tuesday afternoon Il. D.. Manley
had mighty close call, He drove up
the north approach to the bridge and
could not see whether any teams were
on the south end or not. When he
reached the top of the slope he dis
covered wagon on the bridge, ap-
preaching him. There was nothing
to do but back his horse down the
steep incline and this he did. The
horse did not like the idea and did
some twisting and backing also, with
the result the rig was upset, the horse
rolling down the bank. Mr.. Manley
was thrown out, but fortunately es-
capped with a bruise or two. The
buggy was somewhat injured and the
harness torn.

PROSPERITY A KEYNOTE
Bankers are Enthusiastic About Busi-
ness Prospects.

Kansas City, May lathe pros
perity of the whole country, and espec-
tally of the West, is the thing most
talked of and referred to in all the
speeches and papers and resolutions
of the conventions of bankers in ses-
sion yesterday and today in this city.
These bankers of Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Indian territory are in
closer touch with the financial situa-
tion and the general trade conditions
of the West than any other class of
men, and they all agree that the times
were never beforeso good, and the out
look never better for good times in the
future.
j. p. Huston, cashier OF the Wood
& Huston bank ofMarshall, Mo-, said
in his speech:
1.-The marvellous material develop
ment OF our country during the past
five years has never been eclipsed il
time Of peace by any people in any
age. In agriculture, in manufactur
ing, in mining and in transportation
new high levels Of protita BILE enterprise
have been established. Economies o
management in production and dis
tributioE have been introduced. not a
the expense of the wage Garner. but tC
his definite betterment. The UniteC
States became first the granary OF th
world, next its workshop, and no,
aspires to become its clearing house
We may yet become that hydra-heade,
monster-the money power, agains
which we Of the Southwest have sc
long rallied unavailingly."
