THE PAINTER AND THE DOG

A story is told of the experiences
of the late Sir Edwin Landseer with
London dog fancier, Sir Edwin
was painting the portrait of a
valuable dog, which, before he had
finished, was stolen from its owner.
The painter undertook to find the
animal, offering a reward of $50.
He summoned to his aid one "Jem"
Smith who, he thought, might put
him on the right track. He showed
the man the picture and the bank
note, and promised that if the dog
was returned no questions shorld
be asked. "Jem" Smith said he
would do his best, and went his
way. Six weeks later "Jem" Smith
arrived at the studio, leading the
missing dog by piece OF string.
SIS this the dorg, Sir Edwin?"
There was no need to ask the ques-
ton, for the animal was the very
picture of his portrait. Here is
your ten pounds" said the artist,
"and | suppose l must ask no
questions. But now that the affair
is done with, you may just as we'll
tell me all about it." After a mo-
ment OF hesitation, the man con-
fessed that he himself was the thief. |
"Youl you laundering rascal" ex-
claimed Sir Edwin. "Then why on
earth have you kept US in suspense
all this time?" "Well, yer see,
guvnor," was the answer, 81 stole
the dorg, but the gen'elman / sold
him to KEEP i'm so jolly close that l
hadn't a chance of nicking him

truth, slep me-"

CLEANING up is the order in near
ly all Texas towns at present, and
should be without exception. The
various city councils have appoint
ed sanitary inspectors to visit all
houses and see that premises are
properly cleaned, and have notified
owners of vacant property that all
weeds must be cleared from their
lots. 1t is a timely crusade against
filth, which breeds disease. With
the hot season at hand, disease
germs threaten in every place
where trash or filth is allowed to
accumulate, and the strictest
sanitary regulations should be en-
forced by every community to
prevent disease from securing any
such foothold. Clean upl This is
the hot weather slogan throughout
the land. Let all take it up, and not
only cry "Clean upl" but do it at
the same time.

SOME enterprising democratic
newspaper man with an investigat-
ing turn OF mind, or with too
retentive memory, has 6shed up
from the past some remarks on the
tariff by Secretary Of War Root in
October last year at Cooper Union
in New York, which were almost
identically the same as the re-
marks Of President Roosevelt on
the same subject recently, just
before setting out on his Western
tour. Run in parallel columns "of
the deadly order" by the Philadel-
phia Ledger, the two speeches are
seen to be exactly the same, almost
to the letter, every thought in the
one being repeated in the other, in
exactly the same order, with only a
bit more verbiage in the Presidents.
No doubt it was merely an oversight
of the latter's that he failed to put
up quotation marks, though some
papers suggest that perhaps it was
a mere coincidence, as both speakers
possibly had their addresses turned
out by the same speech factory. At
any rate, Mr.. Roots remarks were
not copyrighted, and so no law has
been infringed.

J. \. Kelley ~ Co, are in the business
Of breeding bucks to supply sheep men Of
San Luis Valley and Northern New
Mexico. The sheep men OF this region
have always been AT n great disadvantage
in the attempt to grade up their locks,
owing largely to the high altitude Of the
section OF country mentioned, and the
consequent great loss among bucks bred
in lower attitudes and brought in AT
great expense. This has led many sheep
men to an unfortunate practice OF in
breeding by the Use Of bucks from their
own herds, with disastrous results shown
in decrease in size, stamina and yield OF
wool of their sheep. They, therefore,
will surely appreciate the advantages Of
being able TO obtain at home, at less
expense, bucks a. we'll bred as those
imported and which. at the same time,
have been range bred aud acciimaied.

enabling thu banks greater advan.
tages than they now enjoy. W.

pounds several questions to Secre-
tsry Shaw:
You are reported Ms advocating
the passage of u law that will en-
able national banks to issue emer.
gencv currency based upon their
capital or assets.
Firs,-Why let the relief of the
public in money matters be left to
the within, caprice or interest OF
those who are in charge of nation.
al banks? ii more money IL
needed. is it not safer and better
to allow that money to he issued
by the government which acts in
the interest Of all the people?
Experience has shown that the
banks are governed entirely 10y
their pecuniary interests in in.
creasing or decreasing their circu.
lat,on.
Second Why do you single the
banks out for the special and vslu.
able privilege which the issue Of
money conf.rs? Even at present,
when money is issued upon gov.
ernmen, bonds. ia. bank has n
.rea, advantage over the ordinary
