The fox terrier Is the most intelligent
Of all the smaller breeds. and there is
hardly a trick that he cannot learn IN
q very few lessons. He Is usually
healthy, makes the best kind OF
watch dog, and his ability to catch and
kill rats and other Vermin Is another
story. In symmetry, size and character
the dog must present a generally gay
lively and active appearance. The ter
rier, like the foxhound, must on no ao-
count be ''leggy." nor must he. be too
short in the leg. He should stand like
a cleverly made hunter. covering a lot
OF ground. yet with short back. as
before stated. He will then attain the
highest degree OF propelllng power, to,
gether with the greatest length of
stride that Is compatible with the
length of his body. Weight Is not GER
tain criterion of a terriers fitness sor
his work-general shape, size and con-
tour are the main points, and II dog
can gallop and stay and follow bis fox
up drain 1t matters little what his
weight Is to a pound or so, though
ROUGHLY speaking, 1t may be said that
he should not scale over twenty pounds,

POLITICAL POT
BEGINS TO BOIL
Tongues Wagging as to Probable
Winners in Coming
Campaign.
INTEREST IN STATE SENATE
Many Are Being Talked Of to
Represent Richmond in
Upper Body.

Local politicians about tho Hobbies ant
to talk about the political activity which
will almost certainly manifest itself hero
during 1907, and there are signs which
Indicate that like conditions Will pre-
vail oil over the State. Members OF
both branches of the General Assembly
are to be chosen. All the county officers
save court clerks are to be elected as
well.
This means that fights are already in
progress In many sections. Indeed, men
ave been quietly working for Commons
wealth's Attorney and Treasurer In some
OF the counties for many months, and
when n political fight once starts in Vir-
ginia there is usually no let up until 1t
ends ut the polls.
Tho battles for county offices are in
their very nature local, but there is all
ways widespread interest In who will
be who In the Legislature.
Men In Richmond city watch for re-
suits in Accomac. while the Southwest
is Interested in what is going on in the
Valley and 30 on, making a Legislative
election in Virginia an event of far moro
than passing moment. 1t Is u fact that
In Richmond city the major portion OF
the talk concerning legislators so far
ncaru relates 10 proDaDie members Oh tHn
Senate rather than those Of the lower
branch.
This is probably true because OF the
fact that there is a vacant seat in the
Senate, while all those In the House are
occupied. SO far as IL known. it is the
purpose Of all the incumbents on the
House side to Btand again. though none
Of them have publicly announced their
Intentions on the subject. Senator A. C.
Hartman has announced that he will be
In the field for another term, and former
Alderman A. Beirne Blair Is an avowed
candidate for n seat in the Senate. Mr..
j. Stanley Reynolds speaks OF entering
the lists, and Captain r. y. Thomson, a
former House member. is known to BIO
seriously considering the matter of run
ming.
There is talk Of former Delegate f. c.
Folkes, and OF DR.. George. b. Steele. who
has also served In the House.
Friends OF Hon. s. l.. Kelley wish him
to return to the Legislature. but he has
not said that he will run for either
branch. 1t is believed that Capt Geo.
n. %Skipwith, VINO made such a fine race
in the last primary. will be a candidate
again. though he has not definitely de-
termined the matter.

French Want American Shoes.

Manufacturers OF shoes in France are
copying after the American product In an
endeavor to make footwear more attrac-
tive. One of the first things an Ameri,
can notices abroad-especially in England
lis the ugliness of foreign shoes. They
may be OF good material. but they are
never trim and neatly formed. This Is
equally true OF both mems and wonen's
footwear. Many efforts have been made
by American dealers to introduce their
shoes in London. but they have generally
characteristic dislike of Innovations, re-
fuse to purchase, although admitting the
excellence OF American shoes. In France
the shoes In no manner compare with
those OF American make. but are not
so ugly as those worn in London.-Kan
