THE DAY OF THE DOG.
He Has Some Rights which Cannot Re
Denied Him.
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
| Many persons will sympathize with the
woman who lost a number of valuable
dogs, presumably from poison administered
| by vicious persons. There are those who
| love dogs extremely; there are those who
hate them bitterly. This is not a question
rights of property. If a horse is poisoned
| the law is clear and there is redress If the
offender can be proven guilty. The case of
the dog, however, Is little different and
involves consideration of litigation that
has been going on for many centuries
What is the legal status of the dog? Is
he property! Is he sometimes property and
sometimes wild BEAST and is he some
times one in some places and the other
elsewhere? These are rather entertaining
questions, since the dog is closely associ-
ated with mankind and has been so long as
history makes any record. Formerly dogs
had mighty little standing in law except
those which watched sheep. A dog at large
could be killed and there was no redress
and there have been recent decisions in
States of this Union where the rights of
the dog were so narrowed to be of little
account; but In general the position of all
dogs has distinctly improved in the last
fifty years
In this State a dog is recognized as per-
sonal property. but he is considerably cir
cumScribed in his rights. Generally to have
any rights he must be licensed, and even
then if when he takes his walks abroad he
looks askance at sheep, he may be killed
with impunity; so says the Supreme Court
of this State. Moreover he must behave
himself whether licensed or not, and any
damage done by him must be paid for by
the owner. for full particulars of which
seSathe long list of statutes on the subject
which the Legislature has enacted
1t is evident, however, that a dog i'm his
own home has some rights which cannot
be infringed without bringing down the
terrors of the law. To poison dog in his
own home is not only cruelty but is an in
fringement of property rights, The value of
dog Is matter OF many considerations
There are some of them that have a we'll
established commercial value. depending
on certain conditions, and there are those
who without pride OF ancestry are beloved
for the homely virtues which they exhibit
The dog that stays at home and minds
his own business must not be molested If
he barks too much he may be declared a
nuisance by due process of law. but he
may not be poisoned or killed with a boot

THE GAYETIES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE WEEK

One does not realize how general Is the
summer exodus until the people begin TO
return TO town In the fall. For the past
two weeks the summer tourists have been
returning almost I'm dozens each day. AS
far as society Is concerned there is moth
fng to recall them, yet as the season Is
amused tn end at summer resorts with
the close of August there is nothing left to
do hut 70 return home AS yet Indianapo-
lis has not bestirred itself in entertaining;
however. II will not be long until the So
ciaI gayeties commence in earnest. There
will be a number OF weddings this fall and
a bride is always the forerunner Of numer-
Gus companies OF more or less Importance

terest will be solemnized next Wednesday
evening when Miss Florence De Pauw,
daughter of Mrs Washington Charles De
Pauw, and Mr.. Charles Edward Seaman

Hadley, OF Denver, Col, which will take

The presence Of several visiting girls
last week provoked a number Of informal
companies, though the Maxinkuckee din

evening was the only large affair OF the
week. Mr.. Richmond lowering Is enter
tanning house party at the home OF his
parents on North Pennsylvania street, and

A long time ago the wedding ring was
worn on the forefinger and was thickly
studded with precious stones. People who
have seen the old pictures of the Madonna
In Rome will remember that in one or two
OF them there is a glistening ring on the
forefinger of her right hand, but with
Christianity came the wearing of the we'd
ding ring on the third finger rather than
the first.
The old story Of there being a vein that
runs from the finger to the heart Is nom

@Military Euchre."

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A new game which promises to be In
great vogue during the coming winter Is
military euchre." 1t has some Of the
features Of progressive euchre, but brings
about an even more jolly combination Of
players than that popular amusement.
There may be any number Of tables. Each
must have a chosen color, and each is dis
tinguished by it's color. Attached to the
back of one of the chairs at each table is
a sheaf of flags OF the chosen color. In
stead OF plain colors, however, flags Of all
nations may be chosen, which will add a
good deal to the vivacity of the game and
also considerably to the expense. The
players have Nos. 1 and for the women
and and for the men, When the first
game is called two Of the players from
liable Red" say Nos. I and 3, leave their
table to go to capture a flag from Table
Blue" Nos. and will remain at Table
Red" to defend their own flags from the
two players who have come from Table
Green TO capture them. Meanwhile two
players from Table Blue" have gone to
liable Green" as an attacking party. If
and win the game at Table Blue" they
carry a blue flag to Table Red" So II
will go on through the evening. At each
table there will always be q couple who
will be on the defensive seeking TO keep
the nome naRS, W0lle TWO OIucTS Oh the
table are away on an attacking party bent
on capturing flags of other colors. In
the end the table having the most flags
won Nom other tables or retained on its
own sheaf-will be the winner OF the four
prizes. which are Of equal value. The in
terest to the game attaches to the fact
that the four players who start out to play
together remain allies throughout the even
ing, though varieties in the couples are in
troduced as the game progresses. Some
times the two men will go away on an at
lacking party and sometimes the two wom-
en-, in which case their opponents are of
the opposite sex. But the end Is always
the same-to gain new flags and to keep
the home flags in their place. The entire
game is systematically worked out. Cards
are provided marked with the number of
games to be played during the evening. one
for each table. On IL plain directions for
the scouting parties are given. Opposite

go to blue:' opposite game No. 2, '2 and 4

be no confusion. but a symmetrical moving
of players from table to table. The bell
will pass from table to table as the game
progresses. The cards when once made
out will serve for the entire season by
using the same colors and the same num-

TO me that many railroads in time must
resort to the great new power, at least for
their local traffic. Whether they will con-

is still somewhat elemental but time, that
