THE OLDEST BREED OF DOGS.
Egyptian Gazelle Houne, a Wedding
Present to Queen of Spain.

A beautiful Egyptian gazelle
hound (SlughD was among the
wedding gifts of the young queen
of Spain. The dog, which is a
lovely pale cream color and
named Saddan, was the gift OF
the Hon. Florence Amherst. who
is a sister of Lady William Cecil,
who has been in waiting on the
queen of Spain in Madrid.
These desert hounds are
among the latest of society's pets
and bid fair to Outrun in popular
ity even the aristOcratic Borzoi,
which is the nearest i'm character
to the eastern greyhound, and is
probably derived from him.
The Slughis are perhaps the
oldest breed in the world, not
even excepting the historic span
lei of the palace of Peking.
Their form was sculptured on
some of the earliest of Egyptian
mural tablets, and some monu.
ments preserve the names of ia
vorite hounds of various kings.
The pedigrees of noble hounds
notable for their speed in TIE
chase are current today, ewing
been additionally handed down
among the sheiks of Bedouin
tribes Of the deserts of Egypt
and Arabia as from the days of
Saladin, one CT whose hounds
was named Saadan, while Per-
sian mobiles claim that strains
they own IRE older than either,
and that the breed first origin.
ated in Persia.
The 'osor of the Slughi is that
of the desert over which he
chases the gazelle, and varies as
do the sands, from a rather deep
fawn to the palest cream, which
is almost white. The greyhound
form is most distinctly preserved
in the outline of the Slughi.

Island Now a Paradise Was Once
Barren Volcanic Waste.

Charles Quincy Turner, writing
on The Magic of the Ra n" 10
the Outing magazine. gives a
very remarkable example Of how
a desert island may be trans
formed into a veritable paradise.
BY way of example, he cites the
island of st. Helena, which was
barren volcanic waste at the
time Napoleon was sent there.
The following paragraph shows
what a remarkable change came
over the island at the arrival Of
the English:
The Englishmen were there,
however, to stay and for duty,
and though they had to send 10
st. Helena for every drop of wa
ter they used, they set about a
beginning of making something
grow toward sustaining life, or
at least modifying conditions.
Gradually, by slow degrees but
surely. their efforts were success
full. Kindly nature requires but
little encouragement, and the
dews fell and crystalized and the
heritage and shrubbery spread,
and little trees took root and
shed their seed, and the noun
tain in the long course of years
became largely covered, until at
last this One-time waterless heap
of waste products of a lifeless
volcano became able to provide
millions upon millians of gallons
of water, which is stored in it's
caverns for the ships that pass
to and from the Cape of Good
Hope and TO Australia; and be-
meath the shades of the umbra-
geous terraces, high up in the
cool air, the invaded soldier
from tropical Africa and India
and the orient finds a restoring
sanatOrium which has brought
back to health and life many a
weary soul and stricken body.
Truly there is magic in the rain
and healing in the fOrestsw

Bow TO sage Money.

In these times when living ex-
penses have increased from thirty
TO fifty per cent, it is unusual to
hear of a standard remedy being
offered at half price.
Yet that is the way W. s. Lloyd,
the popular druggist, is selling
DIR. Towards, celebrated specific
for the cure of dyspepsia and con
,stipation. In addition to selling a
fifty cent bottle, containing a
months treatment of sixty doses,
for 20 cents, he gives has personal
guarantee with every bottle he
sells 10 refund the money if it does
not give satisfaction.
This unusual offer has brought
hundreds of customers to his store
in the last few weeks, yet out of
many bottles of DIR. Howard S
specific he has sold, but one custo
mer has asked TO have the money
returned. This was done without
any questions, although w. S.
Lloyd does not think the remedy
could have been given fail trial,

Honesty of a PartY's Purpose
Judged By Character Of
Men in Charge.

In Chicago o. September 4Lh
Mr.. Bryan said:
"The honesty of psrty's purpose
is shown not merely by its platform
or the speeches of its candidates
and supporters, but by the charac-
ter OF the men who are entrusted
with tbe party management.
illinois presents a case in point.

asking the National Committeeman
from this state, Mr.. Roger Sullivan,
20 resign from the National Com
mittee id the interests of the Dem
Ocratic plrty. l explained to him
that his corporate connections made
it impossible for him to help the
party so long as he was in official
position, but stated Il at were that
the only objection the matter might
be dealt with at the state cOnven-
ton two years hence l pointed
out to him that as he held his seat
by fraud, there could be no harmO-
ny in the Democratic party in the
state until he, by resigning, showed
his respect for the wishes of the
majority at the last sta e cOnven-
ton"

HELD UP.

VIM. Burr, a countryman living
near here and who was peddling
prairie dogs about town Thursday
reported to the sheriff Friday norm
ing that he had been held up and
robbed Of all the money he had on
his person, $500, by two men,
about @ o'clock Thursday evening.
Arrests were made on his complaint
Friday morning of w. T.. Pierce
and a friend, whose name we did
not learn, and they were taken into
custody by Sheriff Street and lodged
in the bastile to await a hearing
under charge Of highway robbery.
Pierce has friends here who doubt
that he has had anything to do with
Burr. He is a druggist from Texas,
and heretofore has borne a good
reputation. He is a Mason and
his friends say has money to pay
his way and they do not believe
him a highwayman.

J. NJ. Stradley was in from
Puerto Monday as n OF a road
committee who went before the
county commissioners with the pc
tition to have the road opened
from Tucumcari to Puerto to run
east Of the TuCumcari mountain.
1t seems the road had been open
ed three or four years ago, but
had later been fenced by settlers
who did not understand it to be a
public highway. The matter is
satisfactorily settled, however, and
the road will be put in shape right
away.
