tion 80 OF the measure. This section pro-
vtdes that the citizenship court shall have

praised value. and the government shall
control the Sulphur springs.
Mr.. Bailey vigorously protested against
the government becoming the keeper OF
both bathhouse and the dispenser Of min
eral water, as did Mr.. Aldrich, who said
the government should not go into the
health resort business. The provision was
stricken out. The bill then was passed.

Messrs. Stewart, Plat Of Connecticut and
Jones Of Arkansas were named as con-
ferees.

gage car, where his friends, the bag
gagemen, greeted him royalty, never
insulting him by any reference to his
tag. On his last journey west a few
years ago, wearied by monotonous
trip, he slipped from the car at Las
Vegas Hot Springs in order to enjoy
the air and scenery. The trainn>en,
not sympathizing with his ambition,
at once started in pursuit, but the re-
sentful Tatfy made good his retreat de-
spite of an organized pursuit of all
hands, which delayed the great over
land express, whose longest stop is ten
minutes, four additional minutes. His
curiosity surfeited, he returned in
dignified way to the station, made him
self at home, and, hopping on the next
train, arrived at Pasadena safe and I'M

charge of Pullman conductor and
adapting himself as quickly to sleep
ing car life as he had to that of the
baggage car. The porter is said to
have wished that all his passengers
gave him as little trouble as Taffy did.
Tafty's character, as well as his ex-
perience., is out of the common run
of dogdom. Though devoted to horses
and other animals, including human
ones, he is utterly Indifferent to his
own kind, never mixing in street
brawls or with ordinary dogs. One of
the loves of his life has been big cat.
which he has raised from a kitten with
Jealous care. AT all times he is indie
pendent and curious. Driving he is al

sissippi he made a figurehead of him
self in the PROV of the vessel.

MULES PLOW IN ASPHALT.
Drag Big Breaking PIOw Through
Deep Deposit in the Chick
asaw Country.

In the Indian territory, where all
sorts of things are done that were
never heard of elsewhere, they are
blowing asphalt, says the Kansas City
Star of recent date. Eighteen miles
southeast of Comanche, in the Chick
asaw country, six strapping Mis-
souri, mules are hitched to big break
ing pillow every day and long burrows
of asphalt are turned. 1t is the same
kind of pillow the farmers use who
break ground in the black jack coun-
try, and the asphalt is the kind got by
blasting on the island of Trinidad.
The mules are blowing in the center of
deposit one-third larger than the
asphalt deposits on Trinidad. Wells
have been dug to the depth of 100 feet.
Strata of asphalt of varying thick
nesses have been encountered to what
ever depth the wells have been sunk.
The supply is apparently inexhausti-
bic. Men of means have become con-
WINGED there are millions of dollars to
be made, and are either going to make
it or lose a fortune in their expert
ment.

GREAT DOG TRAVELLER.
Taffy Has Covered Thousands of
Miles on Railway Trains and His
own Sturdy Legs

Taffy is neither a Welshman nor
thief, but Californian, gentleman,
and traveller. He is now a resident of
Lake Forest and the devoted follower
of his mistress, Mrs. Franklin Smith,
says the Chicago Tribune.
Tatfffy has made five trips between
Pasadena and Chicago, the shortest be-
ing $500 miles. Several times the dis
lance has been increased 500 or 900
miles by his mistress going to New
Orleans or by some other indirect
route. Only after the invention of a
canine padometer can it be ascertained
how many miles Taffy has covered with
his own sturdy little legs.
Tatfy was born and spent his early
doghood in Pasadena, being addicted
to gardening and the care of the stable.
He has remained devoted horseman,
alternately wild with delight when
the horses are put in, and overcome
with fear lest he may not be allowed to
take his place beside the coachman. AS
a reward for good behavior he is some
times allowed to ride one of the
horses, and then his enthusiasm knows
no bounds.
His first railroad journey was made
when he was year old and for several
succeeding years he took the round
trip. Tatfy's sleeping car was the bag

sufficient to cover the expenses of a.

treasurer of the committee reported

Der 81, 2S and 30, next, for the purpose
of organizing a national associa tion of
permanent character and the selec-
ton of a national committee with SUBJ

from each society, and the records

. DOCTORS AND CHARITY.
the Benevolent Institutions of
Cur Country.

Human want and misery is not to be
altogether attributed to ignorance in
the ordinary educational sense, nor al
together to economic conditions, but
more largely to the ma1ign effects of
hereditary physical faint and unsani-
tary surroundings, says American
Medicine. All modern communities
possess organizations of the charita-
bly, inclined, and to the efforts of such
benevolent persons the medical pro-
fession is chiefly indebted for the
founding and support of the many in
situations through which physicians
exercise their functions among the
poor. 1t remains for the profession to
enter into this work in a more syste-
matte way. Every city, county and
state medical society should have a
standing committee of its most public
SPIRITED members, whose particular
business 1t should be to cooperate ac-
tlyely with the organized charities in
the capacity of an advisory board. By
such a system much may be done in
the way of preventing mistakes and
OF developing the form of preventive
charity which will seek to ameliorate
suffering by the reduction of PERM
clous conditions. The splendid work
OF lntirmaries, dispensaries and hosp-
tails in placing curative medicine at

stretched westward across the Dakota
prairie, from the farmhouse to the
sandy bank of the Vermillion. In
