these explanatory OF many a dogs careful
ohsequies. But more eloquent than their
words. even are the Inscriptions to be found
on the headpfeces that mark the last resting
places of SO many OF mans best friends,
this title belonging properly to the dog. the
horse, who often usurps 1T, being nothing
more than mans best servant.
1t is easy to guess that the woman who
had the following engraved on a white mar
BILE slab. inclosed by railing of enameled
iron piping, de fool of herself over her
dog In the eyes of her friends and acQuaint-
ances.
I'm loving memory Of Wrinkles. q little
pug dog, who died January 7, 1902 For
seventeen years a faithful. frank and con-
slant companion, he will never be forgot

That the world at large may not grow too
ribald. 1t were well to remark that Wrink-
les owner has been an invalid from girl
hood. Indeed, several inscriptions In the
same cemetery attest that that dog who
helps an invalid to pass the days is pretty
certain OF sleeping at last in plot of
ground commensurate with the dogs size.
One such epitaph reads:
For three years Tootsie frightened the
suffering of little Willie. He earned a de-
cent burial at the hands Of his dear mas
terS parents"
HE helped me to live through the tor
turous years." runs another testimonial to

Moisture in Plants Of the Desert.

DR.. Frank Baker, superintendent OF the
National Geological Park. says there Is no
ground for the theory that prairie dogs dig
their holes down TO water. These little ami
mails occupy a large area OF the arid Sec
tons of the United States. They are gem
orally found upon high piateaus instead Of
In the lowlands. the river bottoms or moist
places around springs. Indeed. you never
find the hole of prairie dog anywhere near
lake or river. They seem to get as Tar
away from water as possible, and 1t Is a
great mystery where they get anything to
drink. popular theory, prevailing all
the earth until they find water, and that
they live In underground viliages-many
holes leading to the same central chamber
Dr. Baker says that Is not true He says
their holes are individual dwellings,, and
II they connect underground it Is more by
accident than design. Thousands OF holes
have been dug out to the bottom, and no
one. SO far as he has known, ever disc0y-
cred subterranean village or central
chamber. The doctor says that prairie dogs
do not need water. They live very well
without 1t. They get all the moisture they
need from the sage brush, cactus, bunch
grass and other vegetation upon which they
feed.
One OF the most remarkable Of desert
phenomena r. the amount OF moisture con-
tanned In plants that grow In tbs rainIeSs
regions. Certain varieties OF cactus which
thrive In sandy deserts whore no rain ever
falls and where there u no stream or sprine
or other water fDr miles, viii bs eighty Per

and contain enough OF It to quench the
thirst Of the prairie dog. the horned toad,
the lizard. the ella monster and other ami
mails and reptiles found In ralniess re-
gions. The same Is true in all deserts, al
though 1t is claimed that there Is more
animal life in those of Arizona and southern
California than in any other similar land
In the world. This L. believed to be due
to the moisture contained In the breezes
that are constantly blowing in from the
Pacific ocean and the gulf Of California.
The heat of the sun upon the sands creates
a vacuum, which draws the atmosphere
from the Pacific coast, which Is heavily
laden with moisture. The same phenorne-
non may be noticed along the northern
coast of Africa and the western coast OF
South America, where It never rains, but
where 1t Is always much cooler than In
countries Of higher latitude, where there Is
considerable precipitation.

limitations of American Goods.

Some years ago several New Jersey man
ufactureS established q chain of shoe
stores all over Germany, and made Ameri-
can goods popular In all OF the large cities
They did the same In Austria, and the local
dealers and manufacturers IN both coun-
tries became so concerned about the Amerf-
can invasion that they appealed to their
governments for protection and demanded
that American shoes should be shut out Of
the markets. Boards of trade and other
seml-official organizations ordered boycotts;
municipal authorities In several places en-
deavored to stop the American invasion by
imposing taxes and other restrictions; but
all these attempts were failures, and the
German and Austrian boot and shoe makers,
In self-defense. were compelled to copy the
American goods and fill their shelves with
cheap limitations. which they offered at
lower prices. For time this worked we'll,
but the public soon discovered the differ
ence between the bogus stuff and the real
goods. They found that their own dealers
We're deceivtng them, and that gave the
Americans more trade and bigger profits than
ever. But have recently heard 1t asserted
that many American boots and shoes now
onered In Germany are not up to the origi-
nal standard. that the quality is dete-
rtorating, and that the trade is in danger
1t might be well IL the Secretary of State
should call upon our consuls at Different
English and German cities and investigate
this subject, and report how far our export
trade has been injured by foreign irnita-
lions and by attempts to force inferior
quality OF our own goods upon foreign mar
ketS.

Maryland Telegraph Company Accepts

ago to transmit a message over the wires
of the Maryland Telegraph Company failed,
but Yesterday q message was accepted and
a charge of % cents was made. Mr.. Allen
w. Mallery filed the message to a friend

delivered through the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and was shown to have
been transmitted over the lines of the re-
Gently organized company.
I'm glad to know that the people of Ken
ilworth have communication with the city,
was the comment of one of the residents,
who was surprised at the successful effort
of Mr.. Mallery.
Kenilworth has heretofore been without
telephone or Geographic communication
with the city. Since the establishment OF
the pool room. however. an effort to put IN
a telephone service has been made, ana II
is likely that the effort will prove success
full. The people of kenilworth are not Will
ing to tolerate the pool room. however, be
cause of the additional conveniences that
they are to receive.
Yesterday afternoon when the warrants
were served upon Arthur wall, president
of the Maryland Telegraph Company. and
Percy r. Humphrey, owner of the property
upon which the pool room stands, the de-
PENDANTS were put under their personal
recognizance to appear at Chesapeake juno
ton Friday afternoon for hearing. A
postponement of the hearing was rendered
necessary because the prosecuting witness
had not been notified. He seems TO nave
been the only man connected with the. az
fair who was overlooked.
The defendants, their counsel. bondsman
and others were on hand at 18th and Fl
streets northeast about o'clock, but Con-
stable Suit could not serve the warrants
until all the parties reached Maryland.
Service was accepted when kenilworth was
reached and Magistrate Behrend took the
action stated.

ment to the present regulations based
upon suggestion of Building Inspector
Ashford relative to the storage of build
ing material. By the new regulation spe-
cial permits must be secured for deposit
ing earth and rubbish from excavations
or building debris or material used In con-
structlon. The permit will define the limits
to be occupied by the material. At pres
ent the police are said to trust to the In
spectors to keep building materials within
the regulation limits, whereas the inspec-
tors have no police authority and cannot

the regulations without revoking the build
