Costly Monotony In Dress

Our clothes are all alike, and this
monotony has led to unlimited exraya-
gances. What has not been done to
make the eternal pinafore frock look
original? New Celebrations are invent
ed daily, each one more expensive than
the last, but nobody is deceived. It is
still the old pinafore only a little mad
der, little dearer, every day.-London

CENSUS Of
LADY CANNES

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 9.-It will
be possible after tomorrow to ascer-
tain with some slight degree OF ac-
curacy the number OF female dogs
now inhablting Tennessee. Under the
Graham law, passed by the last leg
islature, owners OF female CANNES
are required TO register them in
every county with the circuit court
clerk, and the latter must report an
nually to the commissioner of agri-
culture by January 10. In some
counties little attention has been
paid to the law, while in others n
large number of dogs have been reg
istered. The aim of the law is to
induce race suicide among Tennes-
see CANNES by reducing the num-
Der of superhuous dogs of the fe-
male sex. Much opposition to the
law has developed in some sections,
where the right to own CANNES in
any quantity desired is considered
one of the privileges guaranteed by
the constitution.

SOMETHING OF A LAWYER.

We'll, yes" replied the landlord OF
the tavern at Polkville. Ark, when
an attorney, appearing for a bloated
railroad corporation in the face Of a
jury composed exclusively OF middle
aged farmers. can prove, in a case
wherein a acknowledgement a pretty
blamed middlin' good-looking widow
lady, at that-sues for the value OF
calf that was run over and killed by
the train, right dab in the middle OF
the town at high noon, with half the
population beholding the slaughter;
that the calf did not stop, look and
listen, as warned by the sign at the
crossing; that the engine did not hit
the animal at all, except nominally;
that the calf really died, IL at all, Of
some obscure Latin calf-disease or
other; that the company, by its faith.
full servant, the engineer, did an act
OF pure philanthropy in killing the
calf, as, instead OF being a valuable
possession in the hands of the widow.
as alleged, it was really an incubus. in
that 1t was engaged in eating its fair
mistress out Of house and home; and,
lastly that the fair plaintiff, herself,
despite her tears, had once been a
lady book agent-when he can achieve
all that and win the case, as the
colonel shorely did. no longer than a
week before last, shu'd presume to
say that he is pretty considerable of
a lawyer! Puck.

CHANGES IN

TAKES HEED OF LO-
CAL PETITION IN HIS CALL
PRIMARY ELECTION BILL TO
TAKE A BACK SEAT.

Charleston. w. Va. Jan. 9.-In
the governors call for the extraor-
binary session OF the legislature no.
tice is taken OF the appeal and petit
tion OF local attorneys for a change
in the circuit court terms in Wood
county While this county is not
specifically mentioned the call makes
provision for a bill to include any
counties which may desire such
changes. This matter was included
for he benefit Of the local situation.
as the governors attention had been
called to the fact that a remedy was
desired here.
AS the law now provides four
terms OF court are held in this coun-
ty. Some time ago Judge Moss and
members OF the bar found tina. It
would be more eXpedient to have but
three terms, which, 1t was said could
adequately handle all business and
at the same time save both labor
and expense. A petition was clrcu-
lated with the result that the matter
was included in the call. AS the mat
ter is local one, wholly, 10 there is
no opposition the introduction and
passage of the bill will be 4 mere
formality.
Representative John r. Cooper of
this city has expected TO brush tho
dust off his primary election bill and
trot it out again at the present 5es-
sion if the matter of primary cleo
ton had been included in the cali
which it wasn't
There is also disappointment in
the ranks Of the anti-saloon league
because of the governors failure 70
include local option bill as one
of the matters to be considered.
The local delegates and Senator
Gartlan are preparing to take nj
their abode in Charleston for the ex-
traordinary session. All of them
realize that the session will be a
long one, perhaps nearly as long as
the usual regular session.

but when this joke is published it will
make the editor SO angry that he will
even continue the losing game, rather
than take the chances on guessing
what the county does want, SO he could
take the opposite side. If he thought
he had good deal to do with electing
the Republicans, he might cease his
classifying, but he will be SO mad to
discover that he has been used as a
tool, he will not know which way to
turn. He may drop out of the county
with his ragings, or he may go ahead
and let the stockholders stand for the
losses on the sheet. He may even be
retained on the staff over another cleo
ton, at which time this same joke and
trick will be worked on him: Not
much; 1t will be another the next
time, but it will be worked with equal
satisfaction to the Republicans. Now
If we were able to state just what the
next trick will be, we would not do
SO. We have even told this, taking
the chances on being rebuked by our
Republican friends.
