Dog Knew the Horses

''I saw curious illustration the other day." says a business man, "of the wonderful acuteness of scent possessed by the dog. Three or four carriages were waiting in front of a fashionable Broadway establishment when out of the door there came fat poodle, trot- ting leisurely along He raised his head and took look at the line of carriages. The drivers were in little group chat ting, so that no carriage had human occupant. The poodle went across the pavement, sniffed at the leg of one of the horses and went on. Ere he reached the second carriage he was forced to- ward the middle of the sidewalk by two people going in the other direction. He went past the carriage door, smelled the leg of one of the horses, then turned back and, without hesitation, jumped into the carriage, curled up on one of the seats and went to sleep.
 "He had evidently lost his mistress in the store, but he remembered the carriage and identified it by the horse. .'' St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Asset Currency Today.

It is useful to remark how the press ure of events has compelled the banks to act in principle just as the American Association of Bankers has asked stat utory authority to act. Clearing house certificates are neither more nor less than asset currency. 1t is true it's cir. culaton is limited to the clearing house, but that is because there is a prohib- itory tax upon bank-note currency, and the only bank notes authorized by law are based upon bonds.
 Each panic demonstrates afresh that credit transactions are really based up on goods, that liquidation can never be forced in money, and that invariably some means is found to tide over the emergency by creating menas of pay ment based on goods and acceptable between debtors and creditors. This is principle apart from the keeping of reserves against bank deposits. Re serves are designed to assure redemption upon demand, enabling actual payment in money when desired. Asset currency is designed to facilitate exchange of goods for goods.
 In the case of clearing house certif- icates their quality is perfectly known to those who exchange them between themselves, and there is no case on rec ord where they have not acted with entire satisfaction. Neither is there any reason in principle why an asset currency would not give similar satis- faction in general circulation. There is no mystery or difficulty about safe guarding the issue of such notes. Sev- eral nations have done it in different ways, and we have ourselves done it in times long past, under conditions more difficult than those which would sur round the revival of the system under Federal regulation. This object lesson ought to strengthen the promoters of the plan in the approaching session of Congress when currency topics are sure to receive a new impetus.-New York Times.

Rabbit Lures pogs to Their peath

A wise old jack rabbit that lives in a field close by the Colorado & Wyoming stone quarry, near Trinidad, has lured half dozen dogs to death in the last two weeks.
 Persons who have seen several of the dogs leap to their death say that just as sure as a dog goes to snifiing around in that field the old jackrabbit gets within sight of him and invites a chase. It races away with the dog in pursuit, the rabbit always leading the chase straight to the quarry, one side of which drops straight down a preeipice one hundred feet to the bottom. As the old rabbit hears the quarry he quickens his speed, making leaps to within a few feet of the edge.
 When he is so close that the next leap would carry him over the edge of the precipice, he quickly springs aside. There is nothing on the surface to indi- cate to the dog the yawning gulf ahead. Grass and cactus grow right up to the edge. When the rabbit jumps aside, the dog, unable to check his speed, bounds over the precipice and goes tum- bling downward end over end, alighting upon the sharp-edged rocks at the bot tim.
 Upon the rocky floor the skeletons of six dogs were found Saturday by the old quarry keeper, who was roaming about the quarry. This discovery cleared up the dog mystery that has perplexed citizens of Jansen for some weeks Trinidad correspondence to Denver Times.

Flowers on Cats Grave Daily

gro the Memory of Billy-a Faith ful Cat is the epitaph engraved on a handsome headstone that has been erect ed to the memory of cherished pet by it's mistress, Miss Bertha Newbaker, a prominent young society woman of this place.
 Billy had come into the possession of Miss Newbaker when a kitten, when its playful antics had entranced her to such an extent that she at once secured pos session from the original owner. As time passed Miss Newbaker grew fonder of her pet, until her devotion to the ami maj became the wonder of her friends
 Several days ago Billy languished and died. Since then the grief of his mis- tress has been most profound. Carefully the dumb companion was laid to rest and tombstone placed over the grave.
 But even then the manifestations of the young woman s grief did not cease Each day since the demise of the pam pered Billy, the fresh mound of earth that marks his last resting place has been strewn with a profusion of the rarest and costliest fowers.-Danville (Pa.) dispatch to Philadelphia North American.

AN AGE OF WONDERS
The Twentieth Century to Be Marked
 by Most Remarkable Events


 The present population of the world is living in wonderful age. The his tory of the nineteenth century is full of events which caused astonishment, yet things of an equally remarkable nature appear destined to mark even the first twenty-five years of the twen- tieth century. A few wonderful achieve ments in this century are worthy of consideration.
 A few weeks ago the residents of London were gazing in admiration at the movements of an aerial ship which fioated gracefully over the thousands of buildings in that great metropolis, pro pelled at the rate of twenty miles an hour; but its voyage was limited to a total of about ffty-two miles. This aerial ship was constructed and owned by the government and Londoners probably felt that in time of war they would be provided with enough of such air craft for the purpose of observing the forces of an enemy, as we'll as to drop explosives therefrom.
 Paris has been experimenting suc1 cessfully for several years with sim liar airships, and the Frenehmen are far in advance of the Britishers in this class of experiments.
 And now the United States comes to the front with balloons that are making record flights throughout the west, soar ing over the Great Lakes and even ven turing as far as Canadian territory. Flights of hundreds of miles in these American balloons are becoming com mon now by real 'sky pilots. {"
 Our war department officials are ex- eusable for feeling highly elated oyer the remarkable success of these Amer ican balloon pilots, for it means that in time of war the United States will be up to date with any other power in this particular line.
 In the last century ballooning was looked upon as merely fascinating and dangerous amusement; now it is being utilized for very important purposes.
 Aerial navigation may be in it's in- fancy, but it's progress is destined to be so very rapid that the present genera tion will witness wonderful achieve ments in it.
 How many individuals in the last cen tury would have believed it possible for many thousands of words to be sent across the Atlantic ocean by wireless telegraphy in the early years of this century, Yet this has been accom- plished.
 In the electrical world the number of inventions is unlimited and the most distinguished electrician does not dare to prophecy any limit to them. In fact, it is felt that this century will witness even more marvellous achievements through the aid of electricity than any yet known. Even Edison, in spite of his phenomenal success, is still so fas cinated with the possibilities of new dis coveries that he cannot retire perma- nently from the field. There is scarcely a leading industry in the land that has not experienced benefit from some spe- cies of electrical equipment in recent years.
 The list of extraordinary events and inventions during the first years of this century is long one, but the slightest of it will convince anyone that he is living in a wonderful age.- Boston Globe.

Conan s musical melodrama. In the character of "The Unknown" the author has produced a type that easily could be made the cent ral figure of pretentious comedy dra- ma and one that surely would take rank among the most popular characters of the American stage" Continuing, Mr McArdle writes: "In one respect Little Johnny Jones" is an anomaly combining as it does the light and di. verting features of musical entertain ment with the intense heroics of mel odrama, and sustaining dramatic plot throughout" MT. McArdle says he

does not recall any other entertainment in which singing and dancing specialties and ballet features are combined with the serious forms of dramatic acting For "Little Johnny Jones', MT. Co., han has composed some of his character istic music, music with swing to ii that is easily remembered and soon be- comes popular "Give My Regards to Broadway" and "Yankee Doodle Bop' are now famous song hits and with the others of the score are to be found on almost every music rack in America Therefore, in this respect "Little John ny Jones" is no stranger to us, and he comes here with such fiattering in- dorsement and with such an unques tioned reputation that it goes without saying, that standing room will be at a premium, when this musica attraction is presented in this city.

MAILS BOMB TO CORTELYOU
PACKAGE ADDRESSED TO SEC.
TARY ExPLoDES IN PHILA-

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 2S.-The ex-
plosion of what appeared to have
been large percussion cap in a pack
age addressed to Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou created excite
ment in the Nicetown substation of
the Philadelphia postoffice yesterday.
The package, which was collected
from box in the northern section of

inches long by two inches wide and
threequarters of an inch thick. When
Roberts brought his street cancella-
