DOG DELIBERATELY ATTEMPTS
TO ASSASSlNATE RIVAL.
Animal Proved Itself Capable Of SUBJ
tie Plotting and Much Boldness of
Execution-SiniIar Cases
Recorded.

Of premeditated cases of brute as
sassination there are several remark
able instances on record They mani
fest the faculty of contrivance, of mo-
tive, and of inductively assimilating |
cause and effect, which, if not actu- |
ally human reasoning, comes perilous-
ly near to it.
| have more than one record of that
character, says writer in the Pail
Mall Gazette, this instance for exam
pie: A few years ago was on visit
to Westmoreland clergyman and
was accompanied by favorite Scotch
terrier. 1t made itself agreeable to
every member of the family but one
a large Newfoundland retriever dog,
who showed subdued signs of jeal-
ousy. One day both dogs disappeared
and were absent from the house more
than two hours, when the large one
returned home alOre.

went in search or it, and passing
through the village met gamekeep-
| er whom | knew we'll, carrying in his
arms the poor brute, soaking wet and
| in an exhausted state. He revealed
the cause. While sitting on bank Of
a river about a mile from the parson-
age he saw the two dogs apparently
out for friendly ramble, approach
to the waterside on the other side;
they lay down close together, and in
a few minutes he was astOniShed to
see the big dog suddenly grip the ter
rier by the back of the neck and leap
into the water with it. There in about
two feet of water it deliberately stood
and held the terrier under the surface
MY friend saw that there was moth
ing but death for my dog, but as M
could not cross the river without go
ing around by bridge nearly quar-
ter of a mile away, he fired sho
close to the head of the would-be ca
nine assassin. That startled it and
letting the terrier loose, it sprang t
the bank and bolted for home. nj

and when he got up to the scene
the meditated murder found my do

SALAD LIKED BY QUEEN.
Makes Desirable Adjunct for a WON.
ans Luncheon.

The newest salad is named after
the Queen of England, with whom 1t
is said to be a prime favorite.
The Alexandra salad is secured in
only two or three of the most ex.
elusive hotels in town, but may easily
be prepared at home, and is a most
desirable dish for womans
luncheon. II is made OF lettuce, cell
cry, grapefruit and fresh cherries put
together after the following manner:
Take a very hard head of lettuce for
each person, remove all the outer
leaves, then cut out the center of the
heart. making a hollow as big around
as a 50-cent piece. Put into this hol-
low first n layer of celery cut in
pieces not over an inch in length and
shredded as fine as chrysanthemum
petals. On this lightly pile tiny sec
tions of grapefruit pulp until the hol-
low is filled. On the top place four
fresh oX-heart cherries, first remov-
ing the pits, and over the whole pour
a light French SIS id dressing made
OF oil, vinegar, salt and pepper prop
erly blended. Set each lettuce heart
in one of the green outer leaves, lay
on n pretty plate and serve with
cream cheese and toasted wafers.-

GLOW FOR THE INSPECTOR.
chlnaman Was Different from Any He
Had Had Dealings With.

When former MINISTER Wu Ting
Fang left this country he was accor
panied by an extensive retinue and at
tended TO the steamer by a delegation
Of local Chinese merchants.
The customs officials who then we're
also immigration inspectors, carefully
took the names and count Of the local
Chinese as they went on board. This
prccautlon was to prevent some de-
ported or otherwise not welcome celes-
tial from enecting a landing by joining
the merchants as they came ashore
after taking ceremonious farewell
Of their distinguished countryman.
tlalf an hour or so after Wu and his
friends had gone on board one of Wu's
secretaries arrived on the dock and
was hurrying up the gangplank when
customs inspector seized him by
the arm and pulled him back on the
wharf
"Washamalla you. John, no takee
name, you no can come back. Who
you belong?" said the inspector, smil-
ing at some girls with whom he had
been talking.
The Chinese shook loose the inspec-
tors hold on the loose sleeve OF his silk
robe and with quiet dignity remarked:
This violence is unnecessary, sir.
and my name is a matter of no inter.
est TO you. | am a member of his ex.
cellency's suite. ! go on board this
steamer to leave this country, never
again, hope, to return"
That customs inspector is stlll on
the force, but never since has he tried
to be funny with a Chinese gentleman.

A WORTHY INSTITUTION
REMARKABLE GROWTH OF AeRl.
CULTURAL INSTITUTION AT
SILL WATER OH AAnMA

SALTWATER, OKLAHOMA
The Oklahoma Agricultural and Me-
chanical college is one of the So
called land grant colleges established
for the various states by the act OF
congress of July 2, 1862, and subse-
quent acts. The provisions OF those
acts were assented to by the Oklaho-
ma assembly in 500, and the college
located at Saltwater.
The growth Of the institution has
been in keeping with the rapid
growth OF Oklahoma. The first build
ing of the college was erected in
1894. The institution now has ten
chief buildings valued at S207, 500,
and appliances for instruction valued
at s15O,000. Including the campus
and farm, the plaat represents an ex-
penditure by the territory and the
national government CT nearly $4OO,-
0oJ. There are thirty-two instruct
ors, and the enrolment last year was
over nine hundred.
The college offers facilities for a
practical, scientific and technical ed
ucation. Its graduates in scientific
lines, and in mechanical, electrical,
and civil engineering have had re-
marhable success in securing and
holding positions in the government
service and in Industrial and manu-
featuring enterprises, and the de-
mand for them far exceeds the sup
ply. In addition to the general scien-
uf'c courses, the college offers also
science and literature uourse design
ed to meet the needs of those who
wish a general collegiate education,
and to afford young women thorough
and extensive training in domestic
economy.
The general courses OF the institu-
ton are rs follows: (a) Agriculture
one week, ten weeks, f-rty weeks,
1--WE years. (b) engineering-mech
teal, electrical and civil; (c) applied
science-chemlstry botany, zoolo-
gy, etc; (d) science and llterature-a
well-selected general course in scien-
tific and literary studies; (e) domes-
tic economy-includlng literary and
scientific studies and preparing II de-
sired. for teaching all branches OF
household science; (O business
bookkeeping, typewritlng, stenogra-
ply, etc.

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent Of the Drugs Pre-.
seribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition of physicians,
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing concerns,-are, In
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as If they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing of pharmacy and is. there.
fore, glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is Obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa.
tient himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth of the
professional use of patent" or PRO
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 20, 1906, by A. jacob, NJ.
D., LII. ID. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
tion in 1900 called for ready-to-use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or pro
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased to
per cent in the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was ~ per cent,
in 1898 It was 10 per cent, and in 1902.
1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
DR.. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 20 per cent
of the prescriptions were for patent"
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this 1t would seem that If the patent
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe In
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases Of
necessity and where the symptoms
are we'll known and as easily under
stood by the people as by the doc
tors.
