Toby is Stubborn.

Worse than that. his master. usually 80
kind, refused TO allow him to accompany
him on his morning walk to the Office;
that is he forbade Toby 20 follow. But
in fit Of stubbornness. the big dog made
up his mind that he must go down town.
whether or no.
After trying in vain TO send the beast
back, and commanding him IN his rough
est voice 10 go home, the master
thought OF a plan 20 lose Toby down
town. He went into a store on F street.
supposedly unseen BY his faithful fol-
lower, bat when the next man entered
the door, Toby bounded up. swinging his
hIge tail and frightening the clerks with
the loud crash Of his joyful barks.
Finally however. his master went into
a large department store. and out the
door on another street. completely fool
ing poor Toby. who carefully scanned the
face OF every man leaving the store.
Boards Georgetown Car.
Late in the afternoon, when he people
stopped coming out Of the store. Toby
gave up his vigil, not in the best OF
spirits. With his inner dog clamoring
to be fed. he boarded the Georgetown
the passengers to palpitate.
When the car reached Dupont Circle
the conductor had given up all attempts
10 induce Toby to aljght. and the passen-
gers had given him place by himself on
the rear platform. At the circle, Toby
gave some indication OF wanting to get
OF, and a small boy accomplished what
the entire car full OF men had failed 10
do. He seized Toby by the ear and yank-
ed him of In a manner so rough that
the women on the car held their breath
in agony. expecting TO see the youngster
torn asundeT
Toby manifested no inclination "a
deyOur the lad. but instead, gave a grunt
or two that seemed TO indicate he was
glad some one would undertake the Job
Of shaping his future career, and with
brush a-wag. he trotted of down the
street beside his new-fOUnd master, who.
in response 10 inquiries from passengers
on Tobys car said he had never before

Five lives lost would have been the
record OF yesterdays calamities at the
bathing beach had it not been for the
efficiency and circumspection Of Super
intendent Stevens and his corps Of able
| life-savers.
Yesterday was a record day at the
beach from more than this point of view.
The attendance was one Of the largest
for this TINS of year about 500 men and
boys taking advantage Of the cooling

pipes has been installed, and there can
be little censure to be found with the
bathing beach. so far as the water sup
ply is concerned.
Nearly Costs n Life.
/ Superintendent Stevens has been con-
siderably hampered in getting everything
in working order. Congress having made
an insufficient appropriation. This insult

the incomplete condition of the beach
and its insecurity, it almost cost a life
yesterday.

mud, dead leaves. decayed fish food, and
water vegetation. were never cleaned. the
water for present use merely being

I him. He came up. splashed around in
the water. and went down again. TO come
up and go down the second time.

great excitement for while. and il
looked as If the boys life was lost. until
Life Guard Smith rushed to the scene and
plunged in after the boy. Supt Stevens

not succeed.

These troops must be trained with
the troops Of the line. for which they
primarily exist, and the establishment of
larger maneuyer posts in the United

such organized bodies of signal troops.
That this demend has been already rec
Ognized IS evidenced by the recent Of
hcial requests for battaIions of signal
troops to be provided for at three of
the larger maneuver posts. Plans and
specifications have been forwarded for
the necessary barracks, vehicle sheds,

AN INDEPENDENT CIRCUS
JOHN ROBINSON'S SHOW THE ONLY
BIG CIRCUS NOT INCLUDED
IN THE TRUST.

All the really big circuses of this
country can be C united upon the flne-
ers of one hand, and all but one Of
them are now in combine known as
the Circus Trust, and has for its pri-
May object the suppression of all lie
ultimate competition and the curtail
Ing OF expenses by doing away with
porade and other features that have
become SO established that the circus
would indeed seem sadly lacking with
out them.
The only first class circus that did not
enter the combine this year is the
John Robinson Shows, and the man
agement states thai they will posi-
lively not be led by this association Of
trust builders. They will not only
continue the use of the parade as .
feature, but will see that each year
adds some new and attractive novelty
for the appreciation of its best Of pat
rOns aud admirers. Their action in
thus standing OUT alone against the
combine ought To win them many
friends, and il Is safe to predict that
their appearance here on July 10Th,
will be greeted with capacity business
at both the afternoon and night per
formances.

POULTRY NOTES


In picking out the fowls that you
wish to market, you should be careful
not to get some Of your best layers
among the number. The only way to
select the best layers il by elimina-
ton, ii lst picking out the lazy bird
the drones. They are generally the
last birds off the roost 10 the mornir G
and the first bird on the roost al
night. They may generally be found
during the day handy to the feeding
place or loating in some sheltered
nook. They generally have color
less comb, and are fat and Of poor
shape. On the contrary, the layer is
off the roost singing and cackling a.
daybreak, and often before, and when
not on the ncSt, will be found rustline
and working, either scratching 10 the
litter for the hidden grains or roam
ing over the pastures and plowed
grounds in search of green stuff and
bugs. She has red comb, firm
characteristic Of her breed, lively
and happy disposition, and carries
with her an air of Importance and use
.ulneSs. Sue shows an interest IN hel
work, and an ambition to pay for her
keep. and more too. She shows love
for her caretaker, and evidently likes
to be noticed. Such a hen should bt
saved from the butchers till she Is TOT
old to be longer profitable.
There is no question: whatever but
that the most profitable, the most
economical, and the most beneficial
products of tie farm are the products
of the hen yard. Too much pork il
act a betterment 10 the health. Ont
can not eat too much poultry, health
considered. Nothing makes better
food than eggs, nothing can be 81
cheaply produced and so handy pre-
Jared for the table as can the egg.
The hen is the greatest money-makeI
on earth, dollar for dollar, considered
% the Investment, pr yiding she Is
we'll selected. properly housed, careo
for, and looked alter, for best results.
What the hen needs on the farm il
proper asortment of grain, plenty
of room to move about, and d goon
comfortable building in which they
may dwell and be protected from tht
storm aud cold. There is never any
trouble with reference to green food
animal food, and grit upon the farm,
where the fowls have their freedom
But there is always one drawback
which should be entirely overcome
and that is the unusual neglect Of
cleanliness The poultry houses are
too niuch neglected, they are not KEEP;

little work now and then would keel

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have SO much to go through in life that it is pity there . is so much needless suffering from backache, headache. dizziness, lan- guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint,
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do. so much lifting. bending and stooping: they are bound by custom to tight. heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backaehe and bearing-down pains. headache, dizzy spells, faintness and lack ambi- ton. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: "Arc my kidneys well? The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is brick dust sediment or a stringy settling in the urine: if passages are too frequent and eopious. or scanty and painful it Is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills. Delay may run you into

These figures show that the industry has now passed far beyond the experi- mental stage. It has gained foot hold in fact in every state and terri tory except Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming all of which states are well located for the prduction of natural ice. Even in these states however, although no establishments are en- gagged primarily in the manufacture of ice for sale. the refrigeration pro cess is used in cold storage ware houses.
