DOG TAKES PRIDE IN CLOTHES
Augusta Canine Seemingly Unhappy
When Without Them.

There is a dog in Augusta, says the
Augusta Chronicle, who dresses just
like man, wearing the regulation
coat, vest, collar and cravat, and is
very pround of his apparel, being
seemingly very much distressed when
ever his busy master does not have
time to rig him up in his clothes.
II there are any who are from Mis-
souri," they may be satisfied by call
ing at blacksmith shop on Ellis
street, near the city Fall, where they
can be introduced to him by his mas
ter, George Bailey, a negro employe
Of the smithy.
He wears them with a conscious
dignity, and is hugely delighted when
any one stops to notice his attire and
comment thereon. He will gaze in.
tently at each speaker and ioyously
wag his tail when complimented upon
his appearance.

the blacksmith to clothe his canine

latest mode-has pockets, too-the
collar is nicely Numbered and the era

The first thing in the morning the
dog must be properly dressed, or else
he whines piteously. AGer he has
been clothed according to his usual
custom his joy knows no bounds, and
he displays his pleasure with much
barking and wagging Of his tail. He
has the utmost contempt for the host
of naked dogs who roam about the
streets and absolutely refuses to asso.
ciate with them, manifesting a spirit
of outraged indignation at their i'm
modesty.

The attitude of Governor Cummins
has been consistent. He announced
last spring that he would not be a
candidate to defeat Dolliver. Some eff
fort was made by his enemies to COM
pei him to make statement as to
what he would do in the matter of the
Allison succession. He was urged to
declare that he would not be a candi-
date to succeed Allison It was said
of him that he was really planning to
defeat Allison. But the governor took
the ground that it was not up to him
to pass on that question. as the Ali
son succession was not at issue. Moth
ing has changed the situation since
then. Governor Cummins refuses to
be drawn into any controversy over
the matter at this time, since the Of
fetal news from Dubuque is that the
senior senator is rapidly recovering.
But it is very evident that among
those who are known to be antagonis-
tic in politics to the governor, a close
watch is beil 5 kept on the senatorial
situation at both ends, and no oppor-
tunity is being lost to show that at
the very first chance there is going to
be fight started. That the stand
patters are alert and active in the mat
ter OF the senatorship is beyond any
doubt. But Governor Cummins is
neither planning for anything nor Civ
ing himself the least concern as to the
situation. He is attending to the du-
ties of his office and is preparing for
the coming session Of the legislature.
