"a young friend of mine," said Sen
ator Bailey, married not long ago a
woman of fifty years. She was rich
and ugly: he was handsome and poor.
The day after their wedding l met
the bride and groom on a Pullman
train. The groom went into the smok-
Ing compartment with me, and we
lighted up. He smoked gloomily.
"'Well, jack l said, so this is your
honeymoon. eh?'
''He smiled grimly. Don't call it my
honeymoon he said. It's the harvest
moon with me-"
Senator Bailey was stopped one day
by a Texan.
Senator, I'd like a little chat with
you" he said.
II do not know you. What can ]
dor" was the reply.
'T am one OF your constituents, and
I want a consular job. I've written
you to send me 10 Moji."
Indeed! That's thoughtful OF you
Why didn't you say SzzechuunT'
T-I would have. senator" came the
faltering answer, III I'd only known
how to spell IT,"
81 am convinced" the senator said
on one occasion, that Ii is more fun
TO be a poor man than a rich one
Now, there may come times when
want $500, and il worries me TO get it,
but l can tell you that ii doesn't worry
me half So much as ii worries multi
millionaire TO get a million or two
when he needs ready money. He takes
his story 10 a banker. The banker
says, List me your securities Then
the banker picks out the choice ones,
makes a call loan and as soon as he
sees the millionaire is hard pressed
calls the loan and grabs the securities
You can't tell me that the poor man
isn't the happier Of the two"

High class entertainment and
Amusement are a fine thing for any
one, and generally beneficial to the
public sentiment of any communi-
ty.
A course of five most excellent
numbers has been contracted for
and will be given in Scotland this
winter. The five entertainments
and dates for their appearance is
as follows:
l. Lincoln Male Quartette Oct.
9TH 1907.
2. Herbert Leo Cope, Humorist
Nov. Goth 1907.
8. The Lyceum Stars, Jan. 9th
1908.
4. Old Plantation Quartette, Feb.
Goth 1908.
5. Chicago Lyceum Ladies, Mar.
0lSG lSUS.
A course ticket which entities
the holder to enjoy these entertain
ments will cost the small sum of
$500 or 40 cts a number. Each
number alone is worth three of the
ordinary 25c and 35c "shows" that
come along to Scotland.
Stray "shows' are as they are,
but these entertainments are guar
anteed and can only be gotten I'M
der contract. There are four high
class musical numbers and n
humorist Of wide reputation in this
course.
The Lyceum committee has no
profit in mind whatever, as exper-
fence shows that there is no profit
in such things. We are as anxious
for excellent amusement as anyone
and only ask your cooperation in
order to make this course paw for
itself.
1t must be remembered that
there is not in Scotland a suitable
hall for public amusement of a high
class. This is one reason why our
city usually lacks something to
go to-" But the undersigned have
undertaken to have a course Just
the same. If you want something
to go to, here is a chance. Our en-
terprise depends upon ourselves.
It is live men and women that make
a live town.

Duchess Of MOntglyon Defendant in

Mrs. Nnn Heusen Denies She Was
Responsible for Change of Color
of Bench Prize Winner.

New York. May 50-All parties admit
that the coat of Chin Chino Of Argenteau.
the winning dog at the Aiineola
show was dyed. but as to the question
who died the dogs coat. there is grave
dispute
The Duchess Of MontglyOn, who owns
Chin Chino. is sued by Mrs. a. 0. Van
Heussn. Of the Ladies' Kennel Club, for
$4,000 for alleged libel. she having been
accused Of having dyed the dog.
Mrs. Van Heusen's suit is the outcome
of a protest lodged by her at the Boston
dog show. Mrs. Van Heusan in her pro
test. claimed that Chin Chino Of Argen-
teau had been dyed, and after the dog
had been examined by a veterinarian, the
protest was sustained.
The result was that the managers OF
the Boston show Cancelled the dogs wins
without reporting tHe matter 10 the
American Kennel Club.
The Duchess de MoutglvOn then ap-
pealed 20 the American Kennel Club and
that body has yet 90 act on the matter.
In the meantime a letter appeared in
a sporting paper signed by the duchess
insinuating that the protestant Of the
show had waited until the duchess and
her kennel manager were both absent
from the show and had maliciously dyed
the dog
Hence Mrs. Van Heusen's action, and
also her formal protest lodged with the
American Kennel Club that the Duchess
de MontgIyon had shown a dyed dog
in Chin Chino Of Argenteau at Boston
