young lady in Mobile the other day unwittingly got off fine piece of wit. The street cars were crowded-ma1nIy with Northern visitors. The young lady "a resident of the city--was also aboard with her pet dog in her lap. Being a cute little pug he attracted the attention of the question-loving visitors. and one of them ventured the query. What $ your dogs name?" Roosevelt, '<was the prompt reply. Pleased at this-that a Southern maiden should be so patriotic as to name her dog for the President, the questioner ventured, Well, why did you name him Roosevelt?" Why. because p the young lady innocently replied be cause he loves negroes so." The laugh may be better imagined than described

WONDERFUL INTELLI-
 GENCE OF A DOG

Last night at a little gathering of friends. when an elocutionist was inn personating the grief of a child over her dead cat. Jack Frost" the little white dog which is the pet of Mrs. J. l. Mc- Kinney, became interested, and took a seat close to the speaker, looking up to lay dead, and when. in the recital, the child bursts into sobs, Jack turned his head first to one side and then to the other, as if puzzled. When the cat was being buried, the dog could stand 1t no longer, and jumped on the hands that held the imaginary cat and barks1. This Is the first time Jack Frost has ever man ifested any appreciation of elocution, but he is a dear lover of chasing cats and may have in this case been waiting his opportunity.
