YELLOW DOG IS THE BEST.
Bum or Orange Was the Original Color
OF the More AristOcratic
Bulldog.

A young naval officer returned to the
city recently from an extended cruise
throughout the waters of the eastern
hemisphere, and, az usual, brought
home many curious and unusual
things, says the Washington Post.
Of these none is more worthy
OF ementiOn than an exceeding
~ handsome specimen of the Eng
lish bulldog, presented to the Off
Ger by friend, who resides in q re-
mote and old-fashioned quarter of
England. In the opinion of local ca
nine experts, this particular animal,
Rex is his name, is perfect so far as
form is concerned, but exceedingly "off
color" In fact, Rex is what nowadays
is very rarely seen in bulldogs: a
bright buff, or orange yellow, and this
color spoils him as a show animal
The fashionable color for modern bull
dogs, bull terriers, ETC., is brindled
black and dun, with or without white
spots; in fact, most any color other
than yellow.
Yet in one sense this same yellow
color should render Rex doubly valu-
able. Buff or orange yellow was the
original color of the English bulldog,
back in the days of good Queen Bess
and down as. late as the days when
Dickens wrote Of Bill Sykes. Then for
some reason the yellow color became
unpopular and breeders set about
eliminating the Objectionable hue, so
that for nearly century the yellow
bulldog has been thing unknown and
forgotten. Yet in certain old-fashioned
stock-raising districts of England, such
as the West Riding Of Yorkshire, the
primitive buff yellow bulldog still ex-
lists and continues to be the favorite of
drovers who employ the animal for
the same purpose as their ancestors
used him centuries ago and from
which the animal received the name
namely, for catching and holding
fierce and intractable male bovines by
the nose. Cattle are extremely sensi-
tive about the nose and strong, cour-
ageous bulldog can seize and hold a
refractory bovine for any short length
of time until secured with ropes, the
huge animal fearing to move lest the
pain to his sensitive nostrils be in
creased by the sharp teeth of the dog.
Therefore Rex, who first saw the light
of day in the region where the print
tive bulldog is still to be found, de-
serves mention as the sole specimen
of the ancient race of English bulldogs
in Washington, if not in the entire
east.

What Was IT?

Frairpoint, Miss, Aug. 3rd.-One of the
strangest cases ever reported occurred mere
recently. The son of Mr.. G. L. Butler was
very Ill. The doctor said he had some dis
ease of the spinal cord, and treated him for
two months, but he grew worse all the time,
and finally the doctor told Mr.. Butler that
he 4 i'd not know what was the trouble
The boy would wake up in the night and
say that he was dying. He would be nerv-
Gus and trembling and want to run out of
the house, saying he saw ugly things which
His father was very much discouraged till
one day he saw new remedy called Dodd s
Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once
bought some and began to give them to his
boy.
He used altogether eight boxes before he
was entirely cured. He has not been
troubled since. Mr. Butler says:
Il feel it my duty to tell what Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have done for my boy All this
remedy needs is a fair chance and it will
speak for itself"

Angling Pa-ty

Last evening the members of
the Null Secundi Club had q
fishing party and they were
very successful as they cought
about all the fun that was
going. The fishing was done at
the home of Miss Ada Briggs.
Each guest according to re-
quest wore something to repre-
sent some fish. Little Miss
Sadie Briggs who served at
door and hall was dressed to re-
present a white fish. In CUES
sing various fishes represented
Miss Sadie Bunce was the most
successful and received an an
glers outfit. One room to which
the guests were referred was
bristling with rods and lines,
and not a fisher was disappoint-
ed for each found a sucker on
their hook.
A guessing game of "Who
and Which" filled one of the
happy hours. Miss Jessie
Clarke being the lucky one, was
presented with an angling
game. Partners for the table
were found by disentangling
fish lines which were all snarled
and tangled in a mass. But the
dining room was after all the
artistic feature, the centerpiece
of the table was so beautiful
and realistic that even old Isa-
ak Walton might have been de-
ceived into believing it a trout
pond with green fringed banks,
in whose cool limpid depths
a number of shining beauties
were showing their speckled
sides. The cakes also reposed
in beds of green and bore upon
their tops and sides many can
died little fishes. The salads
and meats of the repast were
of fish. The placards were
little folders in the shape of a
fish which when opened bore
the inscription "Best Wishes
from the Fishes" After sup
Fer Mr.. Oscar Frazier served as
POSTMASTER and responses were
given by the officers of the
Multi Secundi and De Gladi
HERES. Taken throughout the
party was one of the jolliest
given by the Club this season.
The next session which will be
the closing one for the year will
be held at the home of Miss
Bina Oviatt.

Opportunities
In the South

No portion of the United States
has made greater progress in the
l,st year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the varions industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands of
all kinds and prices are gradual
ly advancing, as they will for
years to come. Work is plen-
tiful and poverty practically
unknown. Alabama is supply
ing coal and iron to all the
world. More money can be made
and with less labor in the raising
of small fruits and berries and
in truck patching on the Gulf
Coast than in any other state in
the Union. Strawberries from
Alabama reach northern mark
