in the past is a promise of faithful
performance in the future We are all
republicans, because it has always
been the party of progress, because il
has stood for commercial honor and a
faithful compliance in all matters OF
contract, whether at@home or abroad
because it has, believed in and stood
for the equal rights of all men. Let
us all be republicans. Let there be nc
stragglers in our ranks, and with unit
ed heart and action let lis rally to an.
other republican victory in November
and thus show to Theodore Roosevelt
and the country that the republicans
Of this state and county are holding
high that emblem of republicanism

Queer Case of a Letter.

called in to settle a peculiar case. x
owed NJ $40, and one day wrote a let
ter inclosing a check for the amount,
put a stamp on it and was on the
way to the postoffice to mail it when
he met NJ. There had been some feel
ing over the Indebtedness and NJ pro-
ceeded to abuse x for not paying
him. His offensive language caused
x to show the letter and say: L
have a check for you in this envelope
and was about to post it, but since
you are SO blackguardly 1 shall des-
troy it and let you wait Ior your
money With that he tore open the
sealed envelope, exhibiting the check.

Iceland Has Fair Variety of Trees.
One would hardly expect the SUBJ
ject the forestry of Iceland to call
for much serious attention, but a
lengthy investigation of the trees of
that country has recently been made
by no less distinguished person than
DR.. C. v. Prytz, professor of forestry
at Copenhagen.
He says that the prevailing notion
that Iceland has a single tree only is
a fallacy, and that there is quite
pretentious growth of trees on the
land, the soil not being unsuited for
the growth. The tree growth of the
country has suffered from injudicious
cutting, he says, and he makes recon-
mendations for the demonstration of
the lands and offers suggestions about
the planting of birches. The latter
here, spring up naturally, and it is
thought that by sowing these in
places where the snow lies deep long
immunity from destruction by sheep
might be gained, as it appears to be
only in winter, when grass is not to
be had, that these animals devour the
birch trees.

Fashion Has Selected an Appropriate

Nowadays the pet dog must be per-

him with any old perfume. Modish
women who consider their pets try
to select an appropriate odor for
them.
Thus, japanese poodles are perfum-
ed with Transplant, which has a spicy
Japanese odor that suggests the ORR
entail nativity of the animal.
Mexican hairless dogs, which are
enjoying quite a vogue just now, are
scented with chypore, which has
heavy tropical odor that suits these
dogs Of the south. Very little OF 1T
is used, as the scent is powerful. Two
or three drops on the long hair behind
the head, where the dog cannot in
dulge his tendency to lick it on, is all
that is needed.
The shaggy Skye terriers are scent
ed with stimulating extract OF
Scotch heather sold by one of the
Fifth avenue druggists and redolent
of the Scotch flowers perfume.
French poodles, which are not near
~ so popular now as they used to be,
