Economy IN the Stock Yards.

The finding Of a. dog license tag in
a can Of beef sent east by a famous
Chicago firm has made something Of
sensation both among the customers
OF the store where the can was re-
tailed and also at the Chicago end OF
! the line. The tag bears the license
number 1885. and with that as a clue
the enterprising reporters Of the Chic
ago newspapers have been endeayor-
| ing to locate all the various missing ca
| mines OF the city whose collars have
bourne that number in recent year,.
The records Of the dog license DEPART
ment are intact for the past dozen
years. and several Of the dogs which
have bourne the number 1856 in that
time are not accounted for. The Chic
ago papers have dUeit at considerable
length over the search for the dog
very little to say upon that phase If

We cannot sneaf aUthoritatiy-ly for

Oxford's Surplus.

The accounts Of Oxford University for
1905 have just been presented to con-
vocation. and they exhibit a surplus
for the first time for many years. At
the end of 1904 there was a deficit of
e2S9, but this has been converted in
to a credit balance Of nearly f6. 1t
is therefore justifiable to hope that at
the end of the present year there will
be a surplus Of nearly $4,000. as the
fu,l benefit to be expected from the
recent raising of the fees has not yet
been realized. The total receipts dur
ing 1905 amounted to f74.3S5. including
