After an absence of a week, Rex. a

Rhoads, a newspaper dealer of Ches-
ter, Pa, was found dead in ditch by

mouth and leaving them on the door
steps or carrying them into the yard,
as instructed
Mr. Rhoads AYERS that the poodle
would often take papers from the
store to customers and would never
make mistake, going unerringly to
the house OF the person to which he
was directed.

to bring back a penny, and the dog

Mckinley said IN his Buffalo speech.
This IL an old dodge. and not alto

President Mckinley to show that In
any scheme OF reciprocity to bo con

OF the protection principle. no cur
taiiment Of domestic production. no
injury to home industry through the
Increased admission OF competitive
products from tho outside world. By
tho studied omission Of those qualify

and faisifies Mckinley deliberately
and with intention. Ia so doing ho
