Through misplaced confidence in the canine race Deputy Marshal Grant has met with painful mishap. Mr. Grant is on the best of terms with all the dogs, always patting them and talking kindly to them. One evening last week he met Fred Lvnch's big dog "AIarten," and stopped to pat his head, when, quick as flash the dog sprang at his face, grabbing him just on the right side of the nose, tearing through the lip and tear ing off the point of the nostril. The wound WAS dressed and Mr. Grant.is getting along all right, hoping to recov- CT with slight disfguration. What he regrets most Is the loss of his moustache, of which he was particularly proud; but in this he is only unwillingly following the fad. The only way that MT. Grant can account for the viciouaness of the dog at this time Nas that short time back his dog and this one had wicked fight; that just before meeting this dog Marten he had been batting his own and this dog smelled t on his hands and it made him mad; hence his actions.

and that flower is just now attracting
the attention that the chrysanthemum
enjoyed.
There Is always a gamble about
raising dahlias,' Leonard Barron, the
American authority on the subject,
told Sun reporter, because there is
no telling how much enjoyment will
be had out of them.
mo matter what degree of care may
have been taken with them or how
much money may have been spent,
the dahlia fades with the first nip of
winter frost"
Nevertheless more Americans Of
wealth are growing dahlias every year.
Theodore Havemeyer, who began
some time ago to devote his time and
money to these flowers, has produced
beautiful blooms in his gardens at
Hampstead Mrs. G.. S. Hubbard at
her country home, Twin Oaks, near
Washington, wins prizes with the
wonderful exhibits that her gardener
sends to the autumn flower shows, and
Charles Stewart Smith has been one
of the most successful exhibitors this
fall sending beautiful specimens from
his Stamford home. Among amateur
growers none is more successful than
e. D. Adams, whose home is at Sea
bright.
The types represented in the pic
lures are of the show dahlia which is
the term used to describe all the self,
colored and shaded dahlias, and the
pompon, which are the usual varieties
of the flower, although professional
growers recognize others. Fashions
change in the dahlias just as they do
in other flowers and it was the cactus
dahlia that interested growers after
the cult Of the flower became a fad
There has been a noticeable ten
dency this year to return to the older
form of the flower as the favorite, al
though it is with the cactus dahlia
that the novelties are possible. The
cactus dahlia has been known to
growers much longer than amateurs
suppose.
These dahlias were grown in Eng
land as early as 1880 and had been
sent from Mexico to Holland eight
years before. The roots were named
in honor of President Juarez of Mex
ice, and these early plants were called
after him. It was from this Mexican
root that all the fancy dahlias grown
to-day were developed.
The pompom dahlia, which is the
kind most ordinarily seen in gardens,
came first from Germany, where a
Baden florist succeeded in getting
double type from the ordinary red
