The Methodist Episcopal Church
is to be congratulated on having
accomplished something unprece
dented in church history, the raising
Of a twenty million dollar thank Of
fering in three years, Part will be
used for educational purposes, part
for paying of church indebtedness
and 1t Is said that every Methodist

an incentive to other churches TO
engage in good works in such a
stupendous scale.

thing with a polite No. thank you Be

The Gentle bloodhound.

Bloodhounds. Notwithstanding that a
club was established in America, have
not caught on in public favor. There
is probably no breed whose true char
acteristics are less understood. a wide
spread idea existing that this is fe-
rocious animal. for which, however.
there is no justification. as the modern
bloodhound is noble and sensible
creature peculiarly sensitive to kind
treatment. There is no breed of dog
whose olfactory organs are developed
to the same degree; thus his ability to
hunt man by the scent OF his foot
steps; indeed. for tracking purposes he
stands preeninent Outing.
