nothing TO the tricks Of the dog thieves. The
little animals ears are cropped its tail is locked
and its silky hair dyed almost any color desired.
When ii leaves the artists hands its looks are
SO thoroughly changed that the dog wouldn't
know itself BY birth they of one breed;
by artificial coloring, clipping and docking they
of another.
Bull terriers are fitted out with spots where
formerly the coat was snow white; white poodles
are transformed into Yorkshire terriers; blue
terriers are bleached until they white
poodIes; black spitz dogs are bleached white and
white ones dyed black. An ordinary dog of the
proper build and a short muzzle, with no preten-
sions to blue blood in its pedigree, is made to re-
sembe a Boston or bull terrier 10y docking its
tail cropping its ears and coloring its hair, and
many people who pride themselves on their
knowledge of the various breeds Of dogs would
be deceived. so cleverly is the deception car
ried out. The wounds heal soon, and in week
or ten days the street dog is ready for place in
some richly furnished parlor.
Some dogs. such as collies and settlers, cannot
be made to look what they are not. Few Of
these breeds are stolen however. and those that
are taken are hurried away and sold in distant
cities where their original owners never see
them.
when the dogs have been 'doctored they are
ready for the customers, which found
through dog fanciers, 10 a great extent, al
though occasionally the dog thief will make
deal himself. The 'doctored' animals are offered
to customers who know little about dogs, for an
expert can detect such frauds in a moment As
the inexperienced form the greater part of the
fancers' customers, the thieves have little diff
Guilty in disposing of their stock.
How do We dog detectives work. did you ask?
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1903-11-15

Well. sometimes we advertise, offering a reward
and questions asked for the return Of the lost
dog, but few thieves ever answer such ad-
vertisements. AS Il general rule the reward Is
far less than they can get by selling the dog
and, again the chances of detection are too
great. We usually try to find the stolen dog
from the description given to us by the person
losing it, and as we have to be familiar with the
places where they are offered for sale, and are
something of dog experts ourselves, we are often
successful in unearthng the stolen pet.
"A very little thing will often serve to con-
vince us that we have the right dog before us-a
cropped ear that has not entirely healed, bit
Of hair that was missed by the artist or some
popularity about tn, dogs actions cOnfded to US
by its owner \ thief can change dogs looks,
hut he cannot 90 much with it's habits, you
know.
when We have found the dog write to the
fanoier telling him that we wish to purchase
particular breed Of dog, and give a description
of the animal we want talIying with the stolen
dog we have seen in his kennels. On receipt Of
word from him that he has just the animal we
are looking for, u confederate visits the kennels,
purports to come from the intending purchaser,
and after looking the dog over asks to have it
sent to his employers address so that the latter
can examine it at his leisure.
This will be done by the unsuspecting dealer
As soon as the dog is safe within its real home
the fanCier Will be told the true state of things
As the ownership Of a dog is not hard to prove
and the master is always entitled to his own
under the law, matter through how many
hands it has passed, the fancier generally ac-
cepts this view OF the matter and goes away,
glad to escape without being arrested for re-
ceiving stolen property. He take his re-

without war, and they believe that they VIII get

a glass of vodka together. and afterward, in the
excitement, the old man boarded his friends

Talking gayly, he rode the wrong way a
good many miles. Then, all of a sudden. he
became grave. and his eyes opened wide in Won

cHIcKAsHA AT THE FAIR
A Fine Opportunity to Advertise
the Town.

The following letter has already
been published. but the matter to
which it calls attention is 50 i'm
portant that il is worthy Of repe-
tition. Our business men should
take it up. 1t is especially com
mended to the commercial
club.
Muskogee, Ind Ter.
Dec. IS, 1905.
Mr.. H. B. Johnson
Chickasha, Ind. Ter.
Dear SIR
] wish you would call to the at
tention Of your Board Of Trade,
Chamber of Commerce, or Com
mercial organization, if such is
maintained in your town, and if
you have no such organization, to
your leading business men, the
following
In the Indian Territory Build
ing at the St. Louis Worlds Fair
underneath the rack that contains
the Photographic display of your
town prepared by the comniission)
will be provided a recePticle for
holding such printed matter, des-
criptive Of your Town and sur
rounding country, as you may see
fit to furnish.
This souvenir Of your town
should be in shape Of a neat
pamphlet, leahet or folder, gener-
ally descriptive of your respective
town, the resources, advantages etc.
and must not be an "ad' for indi-
viduai * single enterprises. This
must be peliyered in quantities free
Of charges to the Territory Build
ing at St. Louis.
It is suggested that this souvenir
could be made very attractive by
having same neatly printed on good
paper illustrated with halftones Of
your leading commercial institu-
tions etc. Many thousands Of fthese
can be given away during the
period of the Exposition and that
great benefit will result therefrom
to each town IS evident, I believe,
to all.
A competent man will be in
charge of these supplies in the Ter
ritory Building and see that the
same are properly and judiciously
distributed.
Please take this matter up with
the proper parties in your town and
advise me.
Respectfully,
+. c. Hubbard.
Executive Commissioned.

al. This season the big show
comes to It's better than ever, and
notwithstanding this fact the
prices have been lowered, popular
prices will prevail and surely there
is no one who has ever heard of the
great comedy, that viii fail to be
in line when the time comes for
the opening Of the sale Of seats
There has been no cheapening Of
the attraction, it is in the prices
only. The managers of this pop
ular show recognize the fact that
there have been a reduction in
prices ia nearly every branch Of
business and they have concluded
to drop in line and give their
customers the same grade Of goods
al reduced rates. This is a first
class company Of twenty thorough
ly capable actors. The scenry is
all new and the work Of the best
scenic artists in tie country. We
do not make a practice Of making
very enthusiastic advance notices
of coming attractions, but We have
seen the play Of Uncle Josh
Spruceby" and we can say, patro-
'nize this euteItinment and you viii

Josephine was thirty-three when
she married Napoleon, and, judging
from the letters written by the alb
sent husband during the early years
of their union, she inspired the re-
doubtGble soldier with most intense
love and jealousy, 1t is claimed by
many writers that she was the only
woman Napoleon ever really loved.
Cleopatra was nearer forty than
thirty when Mark Antony fell be-
meath her spell, and the most beau
tiful woman the world has ever
known, Helen Of Troy, was long past
thirty when the Trojan heroes
fought their famous battles for her
sake.
