Dog and Hen Fun.


In his book, "Animals That Have
Owned U.s." Walter Henries Pollock
tells funny story of his dog, Douglas,
and hen, Betsy. zone time when we
came home after fortnight's outing, !"
he says, Everything was as usual,
with one exception. Betsy was as bare
of feathers as was the parrot in the
monkey story. There is perhaps one
fowl to which she might have been
not quite improperly compared, and
that one the apteryx. The servants,
being questioned, reported that Betsy
and Douglas. the dog, had had great
games Further questioning brought
out the fact that Douglas game was
to chase Betsy and pull out her feath-
ers and that Betsy, far from resenting
it, fell completely into the spirit Of the
game. This last statement came from
the Devonshire cook, who. by the way,
always called Betsy he and was once
heard reproachfully saying to her. 'Ye
naughty by, why don't ee layT Moth
ing more naked, despite her enjoyment,
than Betsy could be imagined. My
wife, scorning the Intervention Of an
expert, applied vaseline freely, and in
three weeks Betsy was in full and
beautiful plumage."

A Modern ANTIQUE.

A story which Mr.. Davenport told Of
tistrucci has it's point for collectors.
Pistrucci was an Italian and chief en-
graver at the mint. 1t is, by the way,
to him that England is indebted for the
fine group Of st. George and the drag
on on the reverse of the sovereign. He
insisted that modern work in cameo
could be quite as fine as ancient work.
A 'potboiler' head Of Flora which he
engraved and sold to dealer for f5
was afterward sold as an antique to
Richard Payne knight for $500.
Knight took the cameo in triumph to
Pistrucci. where can you get modern
work like that?" he asked. Pistrucci
smiled and claimed the antique for his
own. Knight would not believe him.
Examine the roses,' said the artist,
"and you will see that they are modern
flowers" The point was admitted by
others, but never by Knight, who be.
queathed the gem and the rest of his
collection to the nation. Mr.. Daven
port said that but for the roses an ex
pert would undoubtedly pronounce Pts
trucci's cameo a fine antique.-Man

Not Her Business.

Mrs. Plummer is one of the gentle.
clinging women who are guarded and
guided by some strong and well bal
anced member Of the sterner sex as
long as they live. When Mr.. Plummer
died she was overcome by grief and q
sense Of helplessness.
'Now, my dear Emily, what are all
these bills?" asked her cousin one day
when Mrs. Plummer had been wild
ow nearly nix months.
''They are gas bills" said Mrs.
Hummer, looking alphabetically at a
small pile Of pink slips, "and those
blue ones are telephone bills. They
are beginning to complain at the tele-
phone office, and they've said some
thing about taking out the telephone,
and the gas company has shut off the
gas already. 1 sat in the dark last
night"
''Well, but why on earth don't you
pay the billsy' asked her bewildered
relative.

with reproachful, tear filed eyes.
George has always paid the gas and
telephone bills" she said plaintively.

Silas turned his wagon up creek and
logged slowly homeward. He was lis
tening to two inner voices in hot argu-

reached the bars of his barn lot Fresh
wheel marks were in the loose. soft
earth. A gray horse was browsing I'M

Embarrassed his horses and made a
short cut through the pumpkin patch to
his log cabin. AS he entered the kitch-

odor retrospectively familiar. He
shifted it enjoyingly.
''Where'd you git taters at?" he ask

She looked smiling, yet apprehensive.
Look at 'em," said she, lifting the
lid. "Ain't they bouncers? An all pop

A young woman ran from ambush
behind the door and wound her arms
about his neck. 1--WE fetched 'em,

There was a moon that night. It
cast zigzag silver bars through the old
rail fence, with curious humpy shad-

From the Goose creek hollow came
damp odors of bergamot and spear

happily together.

The Habit of Minimizing Dimculties

You will find that the habit of mini
MIXING annoyances or difficulties, of
making the best Of everything that
comes to you, of magnifying the pleas
ant and the agreeable and reducing to
the least possible Importance every
thing that is disagreeable or unpleas-
ant will help you wonderfully not only
in your work, but also in your attain
ment of happiness. 1t transforms the
disagreeable into the agreeable, takes
the drudgery out Of distasteful tasks,
eases the jolts of life wonderfully, and
1t is worth infinitely more than money.
You will find yourself growing to be
larger, completer man. The sunny,
buoyant, cheerful soul manages, with
out losing his equilibrium, to glide over
difficulties and annoyances which throw
others off their balance and make them
miserable and disagreeable. By the
alchemy of serenity he extracts from
the annoying rocks in his path the pre-.
cious metal which enables him to dc
something worth while.-Orison SWEET

Des Moines. July 1.-THE state ex.
ecutive council commenced work on
the annual task of assessing railroad
properties and the property of other
corporations in the state. A hearing
was given to the representatives of
such railroad companies as desired to
be heard. The four state officials
comprising the council-the governor,
sudttor. treasurer and secretary of
state-had before them an abstract of
the reports Of the companies showing
In brief form the chief items upon
which they must base their Judgment.
The most conspicuous fact was that
while the volume of business done in
1903 was greater than In any previous
year the net earnings were less than
for number Of years This called for
some explanations and those who
spoke in regard to the matter were
piled with questions in regard to this
subject II was explained that during
tho past year more was paid in wages
than ever before. The coal bills were

AN ALLEGORY.

Once upon time there was bear-
tiful city called Columbia, which was
known as the city of refuge for the
oppressed of all the ca tn. Many
focked to its gates and none were
turned away. Its founders and the
worthy burgomasters who succeeded
them surrounded the city with wall
which they named Protection Be-
hind the security of this defense the
citizens of Columbia grew and D. Us
pered. They built shops and fac
tories, churches and schools. The
children who filed the streets were
trained in virtue, were eduCa.ed at
the expense of the city, and were
INJURED to habits of industry. The
city was city of hom"s and OF op-
portunity. Its prosperity became
the wonder and enyYof its ne gn bots,
and the citizens of Columbia were
urged to tear down the wall. Tney
were told that it hampered Che
growth and development of the city.
The citizens, however, hesitate to &C.
cept the ADVICE of their rivals, and
as their enemies increased their ca
pacity to attack Prosperity Wau, yhe
people appointed one of their own
citizens, great architect and builder
named Mckinley, to strengthen the
wall, increase the defense at the gates
and in every part thereof make it
proof against the shots of her rivals
which were directed with unerrf1g
aim against the smoking chimneys of
industry.
The great architect and builder,
however, had many enemies who de-
clared that the improved defences
were not scientifically constructed
and that the wall threw it's shadow

they involve, or lack of frankness

of these problems but a policy of
negation, evasion and cowardIce.

upon the homes that rested in peace
behind it, and in an evil moment an
other architect was appointed to
modify and change the defences of
Prosperity Wall. This new architect
sub-let the contract to a firm DO the
name of Wilson-GoI nan & Co., who
weakened the defences, lowered the
wall, and even urged its entire de-
molition, saying every stone should
be RACED to the ground
The result was disastrous. The
shots of the enemy hurt the industsies
of Columbia. Her citizens suffered
from lack of employment. The rich
became poor and the poor lost their
homes and the sound of mourning
was heard in the grass-grown streets.
The eyes of the people were open-
ed. They longed for the good times
that were gone. They discharged the
architects whose work had caused so
much suffering and employed anoth-

drove the enemy away. The res
were again lighted, plumes of smoke
again waived over the city, the whir
of wheels and the hum of trains made
music in the streets, and the people
smiled again, while seven years of
plenty filled the storehouses with the
good things of life.
But some of the citizens forget the
past suffering. They envied the good
fortune of their neighbors and urged
that the wall be again destroyed.
They said its name was not pros

firm of architects whose work had
wrought such disaster is again trying
to tear down the wall and open the
gates and fill the moat, while The en-

ever, has learned her lesson in the

A QUESTION OF DESTINATION.

In his letter of acceptance p esident
Roosevelt has made clear his inten-
tions and those OF his party, and
there is no excuse for any ones not
knowing the course which the Repub-
lican party has marked out for itself
But what will happen in the event of
Democratic success seems to be one of
those things which mo fellow can find
out, and it is important, because,
as the heroine of recent Western
story of the cattle country said, 1T
don't matter so much where we come
from as it does where we're a-goin'
at" If Judge Parker knows where
he and his party are "goip' at" ne
may as we'll explain.
1t may be, of course, that they are
going at anything which they have
a reasonable prospect of getting.
There was once a Georgia cracker"
who shuffled into a railway station,
and laying down g dollar bill, called
for "a ticket on the next train" The
agent asked him where he wanted to
go. The "cracker" looked reflective
for few minutes, and then replied:
Il dunno. What trains have you
got"
Perhaps. after all, it is proof of as
tuteness in the Democratic candidate
to wait until he knows what trains
his party has got, before deciding
whittier he wishes to travel, but one
thing is certain, be cannot travel on
two trains going in opposite d;rec-
lions without straining himself con-
siderably.

THE COUNTY'S PUBLIC BUILDINGS
New Structures are A Necessity But
Will They Be Built?

Garrett county badly needs new
courthouse aud jail. The former
building has long since been CON
demned as unsafe, and ia addition to
this it is too small to meet the de
mands of the public.
All of the offices are overcrowded
and the various officialsare compelled
to keep their record in insecure and
unsafe places, which bears the IMAM
propriate name of vaults '-two in
number. This applies to the offices
clerk of the Circuit Court and Regis.
ter of Wills, while ia the offices of the
treasurer and county commissioners
are iron safes. is safe to say that
if fire should occur the records IN
all of the Offices would be DESTROYED.
The jail is in such a condition that
to attempt to repair it as it now
stands would be utter folly. No blame
can be attached to the sheriff or his
family, as it is kept as clean as rs
possible under the prevailing ci,cum-
Sauces. The sanitary condition is
simply indescvibable.
The jail was built to accommodate
about ten prisoners, yet W thin the
last six months there have been con
fined within it thirty-tbree prisoners
at one time. Not ouIy those held for
crime are made to suffer. but those
who q re held as witnesses beeore the

WHY SHOULD WE CHANGE?

Great interest is being manifested
in every State of the Union over the
coming elections for Congress. The
lower House is to be elected anew;
the upper body, the Senate, will I'M
dergo only partial rejuvenation as re-
suit of possible changes in the legis-
latures. Whatever the olt1o my
be in the legislative election, the po-
litical complexion of the Senate can
not be changed.
1t is possible, however, to install a
Democratic majority in the House, if
the voters of the land temporarily
take their eyes off the gun and abate
the interest in public questions which
they have shown for the past five
Congressional elections.
The Democrats have not had con-
troll of the Honse since the Fifty
third Congress. The next Congress
will be the Fifty-ninth and during
