A beginner or the ordinary onlooker,
that a great number of the ribbons
go to select few of those who are
showing dogs, is apt to conclude that
il is impossible to win against these
successful showers. The disappointed
exhibitor chagrined at want of success
is apt to attribute it to the connivance
on the part of the judge and men who
win so many prizes. But what has
the disappointed exhibitor done to de-
serve success? Consider the fact that
he feeds his dog until it is more fit to
win at fat stock show; that he brings
it to the show in the rough, perhaps
with a lot of dead coat still on 1t.
An immense blue bow is tied at its
his dog around the ring he has to drag
it. through the sawdust because it does
not know how to follow him on the
chain. On the other hand, the success
full owner or kennel man has educated
his dog to show himself to the best
advantage. 1t has been early taught
to wear a collar and has been accus-
toned to the chain. Every day per-
haps he has been lead into counter
part ring, his handler having few
dainty pieces in his pocket. Then the
youngster, if n terrier. collie or
Dane, is set to face his handler who
gives him a piece of meat and keeps
him in expectation of more. The dog
has to go through this little act so
often that he is alert when he is led
into the ring at a show; all his mind is
on the good things he is going to get
nibble at The result is that the
dog is full of life and animation. Then,
too, he has been groomed daily, the
old coat was taken off weeks before
and with every atteneon to his con-
dition of flesh he is put down "ft."

The city of Tampa--her citizens
should be proud that we have such a
patriotic organization as the Board of
Trade. Pride should pcrmeate the soul
Of every citizen.
A Board of Trade may accomplish
much for a city. But it will not do
much unless it has a membership of
men who are public-spirited.

has been accomplished during the past
year by the Tampa Board of Trade, under

bright-eyed, with slender upright fig
ures, and usually with three or four
splendid sturdy children clinging round
their skirts. They are living proofs
that work, and extremely hard work,
does not affect the health Every
evening at sunset during the summer
the fishing boats go out, and the wo-
men come down ANA help launch the
boats. No easy task this; it is very
picturesque, but to do it every muscle
must be strained and every sense be
alert, and when some forty boats have
to be helped out every night it means
considerable addition to the days
work, which includes-besides the or
binary household tasks-bringing up
the nets. spreading them out to dry
every day, and boiling them in solu-
ton Of tar every week or so in order
to preserve them.
Then, as the days shorten. the fish
ing times change, and during the cold

out with lighted lantern between
two and three in the morning to speed

that for they were countrymen of theirs.
