DOG REMEMBERED ERRAND
Had to Have a Paper for His Master
and Committed Highway
Robbery.

A new and true addition to the
endless string Of dog stories is told
by correspondent In a country vii
lage on the continent.
The village innkeeper had trained
his dog to go every day at a certain
hour and fetch his masters paper
from the Office where 1t was printed.
One day ON his way home the dog
met an old enemy; the two engaged
in a fight, and the newspaper came
to grief. When his foe had skunk
away the victor, with an anxious look
In his eyes, stood over the tatters.
At that moment gentleman hold.
ing foreign paper came into view,
walking lelsurely along, and the dog
at once, and without sign Of agita-
tion, took hold of 1t and carried 1t
to his MASTER whose establishment
at receiving foreign paper gave way
to pride and vainglory when the vic
tim of this example of shameless
highway robbery, who had followed
the dog, laughingly explained the
situation.

Minnows and Mosquitoes.

Scientists, who have been battling
against mosquitoes with crude oil
and other devices for destroying the
troublesome and dangerous pests,
have come to the conclusion that min
nows are Of more service than oil IN
Kidding water Of mosquitoes. Gold
fish have been used with great sue
cess in Hawaii in destroying mos
quitoes, and test of the services OF
toy minnows in the same work has
satisfied the scientists that the lat
ter are more efficient, and especially
80 in stagnant water. Southern cit
les which have been spending consid.
cradle amounts in the purchase OF oil
for destroying yellow fever mosqui-
toes are now considering the more
general use Of minnows in stagnant
pools, says the Chicago Sun. The city
of New Orleans is spending 100000
in a campaign against mosquitoes,
and the chief city health officer ia
vors the use of minnows rather than
any other means that has been test
ed. Here again remedy that crea-
ton seems to have supplied natural.
ly for the work has been Endorsed
after much expensive experimenting
in other lines.

JOHN HENRY
ON GREAT MEN.
BY HUGH McHUGH

GEORGE ". HOBARTl

Uncle Peter is one of the gamest
little chunks Of humanity that ever
looked the world In the eye, but when
he heard the edict put forth by DR..
Osler the old man went overheard with
splash.
He was under water long time.
He thought the DOGGY Man had him
for sure.
Uncle Peter felt that 1t would no
longer be possible for him to pass a
drug store without some young fellow
rushing out with handkerchief full
Of chloroform and yelling: Here,
you old chestnut! here's where you get
it In the nose!"
In the dark watches Of the night
Uncle Peter used to wake up covered
with cold perspiration, because he had
1reamed that Doc Osler was pounding
him on the bald spot with baseball
Dat after having poured hair dye all
over his breakfast food.
At last Uncle Peter got so nervous
[ advised him to write to the doctor.
ASK him If he won't commute your
sentence because you live in the coun-
:ry and are a commuter," suggested.
The doctor replied to Uncle Peter
1t once, and will try to translate his
etter from Johns Hopkins into pure
English, as near as I can remember:
Johns Hopkins, To-Day.
Dear Uncle Peter: When | cut
loose with the observation that men
we're all in at 40 and rauss mittim at
80 l kept several exceptions up my
Ileeve.
1.-THE exceptions include you, Uncle
Peter, and myself also.
ut could not apply in your case,
Uncle Peter because I have known you
since we lived together in Baltimore
many moons ago, and l realize that
the years have only improved you,
Uncle Peter, and that to-day you are a
bigger shine than you ever were.
Zone point about my observation
which seems to have escaped the eyes
Of the general public, but which you
suggest so delicately in your letter,
Uncle Peter, will be found in the beau
tiful words of the poet who says:
Some advertisement now and then
Is needed by the greatest men'
Don't mention 1t, Uncle Peter, for
what | tell you is confidential, but do
you know that my little bunch of re-
marks, which cost me nothing anyway
because was invited to the banquet,
have given me more widespread ad-
vertisement than Andy Carnegie can
get for IS public libraries?
"You know, Uncle Peter, there Is
nothing in the world so easy to make
stand up on its hind legs as the gen.
eral public II you just go after it right.
But the trick is, Uncle Peter, to
know what to say and when to say 1t.
Look at my case and then tell me

A New Departure In Banking.

Is the time-honored phrase "in
banking hours" to become obsolete?
A step, at least, in this direction has
been taken in the establishment, in
the city of New York, Of bank that
never closes except on Sundays and
holidays. 1t does business day and
night. At this bank money passes to
and fro across the counter from dawn
to dawn. What would Father Knick'
,erbocker say to midnight banking?
asks the Four-Track News. And yet
why not? 1t is one more great con-
venience added to modern life. 1t
typifes the spirit Of our age. Every.
thing must be ready to our hand. We
will not wait until tomorrow for the
thing that we want to-day. The but
tons of our desires must be where
we can press them at will. We tele-
phone, telegraph, travel at midnight
and now we bank at midnight. 1t
is the logic of events; the answer to
the onrush Of modern life.

John D. Rockefeller is learning tard-

When Bernhardt was in America on
