All persons owning or intending 10 keep
any animal of the Dog or Canine species

Auditor. After the 30th of June all persons
owing or harboring Dogs without the re.
quired license are subject to fine as the laws
on the subject require of $500 or $500.
Complaint has been frequently made that
many persons fail to take out their license.
and that others pay on one or two dogs when
owning and hart oring more, or who send
such dogs away during the summer months
and bring them back in the fall.
Attention has been called to this evasion Of
the law, and policemen will report all such
cases and fines can be imposed upon those
who fail to take out licenses after trial in the
Police Court.
The police officers will be required TO re-
port all violations Of this law.

Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-rofned glycerine, aided by a GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid Of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dlclnal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use Of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed UGolden Medical Discovery" for

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little Ono Wanted to Pick the "Un.
 derchiIdrenabIe" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter was big enough to want to pick the garden flowers, the grandparents tried every guileful means to save their pet posies from devastation. A truce was reached when it was agreed that Har- riet should let the garden plants alone and pick only "children's flowers" a descriptive name bestowed at once alike on dandelions, buttercups, daisies and clovers. After this there was peace in the family. One day Katherine, the newest granddaughter, was contentedly pulling grasses while grandmother shipped off blossoms from the forget-me-nots. Katherine remembered that fresh flowers had not been gathered for the dinner ta- bic. She ran over to grandmother and promptly coined one of the longest words a four-year-old ever used. "Grandmother," she begged, "can't I pick the underchildrenable flowers for dinner?"

TRADES MAGNET.
Virtue in Right Kind of Advertising
 In the Home Papers.

There is no apparent reason why the merchant in the average town should not be able to sell goods, class and quality considered, as low as the large city stores. He is under less expense, and if he is enterprising and up-to-date, he can buy his goods at as low figure as the retailers in the large cities. There is laxity observed in the management of business by some merchants in rural towns. They depend too much on trade drifting their way without making the right kind of effort to gain it. A merchant in western state who took it in his head to use large advertising space in his town paper, found that within three months, by consistently follow ing up a plan of using half page in the local paper for the publishing of prices and describing goods, increased his trade more than third. From the position of doing about the fourth amount of business of any store in the town, he rapidly raised to first place. He is on the road to prosper fty, and has been benefit to the town in general, drawing trade to it that was never enjoyed before. This was done within 30 miles of one of the large western cities, and with the de- partment stores of the city advertis- ing in the same paper.

HIS MEMORY WAS GOOD.
Commodore Vanderbilt Had Not For
 gotten Old Days.

The coming of age of Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and the payment to her of some twelve millions of dollars inher- itance has brought out a new crop of anecdotes about the Vanderbilt for tune. One of the latest illustrates the democratic spirit of the old com modore.
 Sitting on the porch of a fash ionable hotel at a fashionable resort on one occasion, it is related, the commodore saw lady approaching with whom he was acquainted. His wife and daughter, who recognized her, could scarcely contain their an. ger when he arose and politely ad. dressed her.
 Don't you know said the daugh ter after she had gone, "that hor' rid woman used to sell poultry to us?"
 "Yes," responded the old million aire, "and I remember when your mother sold root beer and l peddled oysters in New Jersey"

A Town Convenience.

Only for the farmers, the laborers and others that comprise the great part of the population, the merchants of the towns would have little excuse for being in business, and the mer- chant is a wonderful convenience to people of his neighborhood. One can not we'll get along without the other. The merchant depends more upon the success of the farmer and the laborer than do either of the latter on the suc- cess of the former. Between them there should be greater harmony. In towns that are noted for activity and progress, particularly in agricultural sections, it will be found that 1t is the united efforts of all classes of workers that win.

A Ventilation Test.

It is very hard to make an impress sion on those people who defend their possessions on all occasions. A lady was explaining to visitor the many advantages of concrete hollow-block construction, of which the walls of her new home were built.
 "The air spaces in the walls afford insulation against heat in summer and cold in winter" she explained. Be sides, such walls afford ventilation and insure a more healthful house,
 The visitor reflected moment, and replied:
 Our frame house must be quite as we'll built. Every night we lock the cat in the cellar, and have to let her out of the attic in the morning."- Youths Companion.
