Is n Dog Property in Illinois.

Chicago Chronicle.
 It is reported from the interior of this State that a lawyer employed to defend man accused of stealing dog inter- poses as a defense the contention that under the laws of Illinois dogs are not legally property the unauthorized talk ing of which constitutes larceny. Steal ing a horse has always been regarded as one of the gravest of crimes. Both dog and horse were once wild. No one knows which was first domesticated by man, though tho probabilities are greatly in favor of the dog.
 Both have been vitally necessary to man in his rise from his own savagery. but there Is small doubt that the dog has subserved a greater variety of uses than the horse. Both have been widely used for trsnsportatlon, Tor food' Tor aid in the chase of other animals, and their hides for clothing. The dog, however, has furnished much more varied aid in the chase and he has been the trained. one may say the profess sional guard of his master and his property, the horse only incidentally and accidentally figuring in that capa- city. As for personal affection and fdslitv and companionship with man, the dog so far leads all other animals that there is no comparison
 The writings of Moses contain pos sibly the earliest mention of the dog now extant though Homer's pathetic description of the dying dogs recogri- tion of his mater whom he had not seen for wears is nearly as old. Egyptian and other antique representations show tbat inc dog was then practically the same as now. The Mosaic mention is tinged with the same slighting feeling toward the canine race which Is shown to this day among Mohammedans and

INDIANS TRIUMPHANT.
Custer's Defeat Repeated on West
 Points own Gridiron.

Points Own GridirOn.
 West Point, N. r., Nov. 11.-Failure lose today to Carlisle Indian football eleven. The score was 6 to in the Indians favor, and the goal which would have tied the score, was wissed by less than six inches.
 Prince Louis of Battenberg was 8 spectator of the game.
 Two entirely different types of foot ball players were pitted against each throughout. the game and the army eleven relying on its superior physical strength to crush its way to the goal line. Each team scored once by its fndans, afteF sy'f long of pateay Pay wa ing, picked up tumble and raced with 1t over West Points goal line. and then the army players, goaded on way across 100 yards of the gridiron for their score.
 The Indians scored about the middle of the first half. Up to that time the the West Pointers 'carrying. the bali little distance into Carlisle's terri tory, losing it and having 1t punted back to their own ground by Mount ter one of these punts. West Point took the ball and in attempting to gain fumbled it. Jude, the Indian right end, dived for it and, crawling men about him, secured a good lead and ran fifty-five yards for a touch down. Mount Pleasant kicked goal. The remainder of the half was an even contest. Once Beavers of West Point, ran 65 yards to the Carlisle goal, and was called back for stepping out of bounds
 Early in the second half West Point scored. Catching the Indian kick off on their own ten-yard line, the army backs went through the Carlisle guards and tackles until Weeks car ried the ball over the opposite end of the gridiron. This was West Points supreme effort and the team was too exhausted to score again, even after Beavers missed the goal from the touchdown.
 Score: West Point, 5; Carlisle In- dians, 6.

sTARKE's TEAM WON.
Played Game at Athletic Park With
 Picked Team.

Picked Team. Stakes University School football team yesterday defeated a picked team from young Montgomery athletes by the close score of to before a large crowd at Athletic Park. The picked team outweighed the school boys, but the superior condition and knowledge of the game of the smaller fellows enabled them to keep their opponents on the defensive prac- tically the entire time of two long halves.
 Starke's offensive work, particularly their interference on end and extra plays, has improved 50 per cent since their contest when they defeated the Boys High School 5 to 0. Irwin Alex ander made long runs repeatedly hug ging a fine interference but the score was made by young Edwin Teague. who bounced on a fumbled ball and evaded all tacklers during his twenty five yard sprint to the goal posts The work of Lockwood at centre for the Starke team was noteworthy. he proved himself an especially valuable man on the defen- sive.
 After the game Professor J. M. Starke entertained both teams at a luncheon at a popular down town restaurant. Speeches were made by Rev. J. A. Rice. D. D.. Professor J. M. Starke and Pro- lessor & C. Starke.
