New York Tribune: Senator Quay
OF Pennsylvania was a collector of In
dian relics, and took great interest
also in autographs, coins and stamps.
Often, though, he ridiculed, good ma
turedly, collectors hobbies.
He was showing a reporter his In
dian robes one day. The young man
took UP a curious antique dagger that
lay on buhl table.
This dagger must be very old" he
said. Has it history?"
1T has, indeed" said Senator Quay.
1T is the dagger that Macbeth thought
he saw. A descendant of Macbeth gave
1t to me in Scotland several years
ago"
Senator Quay smiled. There is only
one dagger would trade this for, and
that is a dagger that used to hang on
the wall in Alphonse Karr's study" he
said.
"Karr, in one of his stories, had
poked a good deal of fun at a wom-

about the nose of the dog in the mid

association organized to regenerate tho
original race of Belgian mastiifs, held
it's first exhibition of cart dogs. The
Flemish breeders have found that in
crossing the Belgian mastiffs With the
Great Danes, with the idea of increas-

curing additional strength, they made
a mistake. The result proved to he
animals with weak headquarters and
disproportionate limbs. Now they are
