The Dependable Store Without that
loyal support this big business would not
have been possible. We have striven to
repay the confidence reposed in us, and
which is shown in the constantly in
creasing business, by remaining stead
fast to our first business principles.
The Firms Policy.
From the day we first threw open the
doors of our Washington establishment
we have closely followed the policy of
fair dealing to one and all. selling relia-
BILE qualities only on the smallest posi-
BILE margin of profit which will enable a
store TO successfully do business, and a
prompt rfghting of all wrongs and mis-
takes. We have endeavored TO make ev-
eryone feel at home here and we exact
of all our employees courteous treatment
to every customer
THE retail business has undergone a
great change during the past eight or
ten years, and the most successful
stores are those doing business on the
same lines followed by The Dependable
Store. We buy direct from first hands
place our orders with manufacturers,
factories, and mills-thus saving the
middleman's profits for our customers.
When the new store is completed we
naturally expect to do even better for
our patrons, for the immense outlet will
directly work for the greatest good to
the greatest number.
In a great measure we credit our
success to judicious and liberal adver-
tising. We are great believers in print,
er's ink. and spend a large sum each
year in acquainting the Washington pub
lie with the values offered here from
day TO day.
We aim to make our advertising a
truthful reflex of the stores doings,
containing only facts"

HORSE THAT LEARNED TO WRITE.
Most Wonderful Equine in the World.
Can do Many Things InteIligently.

Dr. George Rouhet, of Mousegur.
France. is the owner of horse which
has been pronounced by experts the
most intelligent equine in the world.
The doctor is country physician, and
in his moments of leisure he has trained
the animal entirely By patience and
kindness to do many wonderful things.
Germinal, as the horse is called, can
without any assistance whatever, put out
a candle in either of two ways. He ex-
tinguishes it by blowing through his nos
trils or. uses his feet so adroitly that
the candls is uninjured. When he de-
sires to enter the barn he opens the
door and closes il behind him, as any
well-bred person would do.
His most extraordinary requirement
however, is the ability to write. He
does this regularly every day. tracing
words that his master dictates to him
letter by letter.
When Dr. Rouhet exhibits terminals.
talents in public he mounts him, for then
the skillful penran writes better, but in
private the horse writes without any re-
straint whatever, being urged to his pur-
suit by the patient and affectionate en-
couragement of his owner.
DR.. Rouhet believes that he writes
just as very young child does, who
traces character without an exact no
tion of the letter or the word.
He considers a horse quite as inteli-
gent as dog, and says the reason its
faculties are iesI easily trained is be-
cause Of the life of servitude and in
equality that has been put upon the
equine race for So long.
While Dr.. Rouhst hopes the horse will
live for many years yet. he intends to
make special disposition of his skull
when he dies. he will bequeath it to
anatomists. who will examine it to dis
cover to what point special training has
developed the brain of Germinal 1t
will then be presented to museum in
Paris as souvenir of the most intelli-
gent horse in the world

The troubles of the United States Gen.

than those encountered in taking the
dog census of the District. The law re-
by a number and a tax of 81 paid by
its owner once every year. And one
OF the numerous duties of the guardians
of the law is to see that this act OF
Congress is rigidly enforced.
In order to do this the policeman must
make a houseto house canvass of the
entire city once or twice year to find
out those families which keep dogs The
canvass is taking place now in some
portions of the city.

All Kinds of Obstacles.

The policemen in making the canvass
are confronted with ali kinds of OBJ
stacles- An officer will call. at the resi-
dence of a person and ask If he has
any dogs that have not the necessary
tag. he receives mo" for answer, and
at the same time there may be two or
three dogs away back in some obscure
place impossible for the officer to see.
He politely asks the party his name. and
in the meartime takes the number of
the house.

paid his tax fer the maintenance of a
