A TEST OF COURAGE.

There were two dogs in the .neighbor-
hood that had a deep and Unsuitable |
antipathy to each other. Rover, the
yellow dog had the freedom of large |
yard with q picket fence round It, and
a gate that was always kept fastened.
Prince, the brindle, roamed unchecked
In the street outside. Whenever Prince
came trotting along Rover would make
a dash at the gate, and he being unable
to get out, the two dogs would stand
there. one on the inside and the other
on the outside. glaring at EACH other
with inextinguishable fury, barking,
growing and using violent language,
the purport of which was that IL II
were not for that gate there would be
some fierce and terrible fighting.
One morning Prince came along, look
ing more aggressive than usual. Rover
saw him. The hair along his back
bristled up, and with savage growi
he ran down the front walk, ana
charged at the gate In his customary
yay. This time, however, by some I'M
accountable accident, the gate had
been left unfastened, and the impact
threw 1t wide open.
For the first time In all their ac-
quaintance there was naught to hinder
the two dogs from flying at each other.
Nothing was between them but their
long-standing grudge. Rover's impetus
had carried him to the edge of the side
walk. Prince was within two feet OF
him.
1t was an awful moment. But neither
dog hesitated the smallest fraction OF a
second. They acted instantly. With a
dismal howl, Rover turned in his tracks
and ran back into the yard at break
neck speed, and Prince fed for bis life
ds.wn the street, and never again, the
neighbors say, did either dog even look
at the other.
Both we're towards, and both had
been found out.

ALL FRANCE Is AG0G
OTi R DISCOVERY OF MURDER
OE PROMINENT PEOPLE.
Adolph Steinheil and Nine. Japy Muir
dered, and Nine. Steinheil Is Charg-
ed With the Crimes-Suspicioned for
Demise of EXPIRES. Faure of France.
But Later Developments Clear Her.

Paris, Dee. All the new light
thrown on the murder of Adolph Stein
he'll and Nine. Japy, which occurred on
the night of May 81, at the home of the
artist, only goes to strengthen the
conviction that Nine. Steinheil either
strangled the victims alone, after I'D
ministerng a narcotic or poison, sub
sequently binding herself to her bed,
or had an accomplish in the person OF
professional criminal.
The body of the murdered painter
has been disinterred and removed to the
morgue but the surgeons found that
it was in such state of decomposition
as to make it an impossibility to per-
form a complete autopsy. They con
tented themselves with the taking of
the yiscera for chemical analysis, in
order to determine, if possible any trae-
es of poison. The glasses found at the
time of the murder win also be exam
ined.
1t is now learned that Nine. SteinheiE
. was receiving the visit of another rich
lover, in addition to Maurice Bordera,
: and that she had promised each of them
, that she would marry him in the event
: of her becoming widowed or divorced.
. Felix Faure Not Murdered.
;, Testimony from every quarter seems
! to upset completely the charges of the
d royalist press that the late President
L Felix Faure was the victim of criminal
: dealing, but even M. Dupuy, his prem
% er does not deny that Nine. SteinheD
g was with him shortly before he expired.
She adopted clever ruse to divert sus
picion from herself at the time. Before
= going to the Elysee palace she visited
a distinguished painter, to whom shs
confded that she was on her way tx
see the president. The following da,
the painter received letter from her
n filed with expressions of grief at tn
lie death of President Faure, but addini
he that unfortunately she was taken u
ge and was unable to see him. The phys
nd clan whom she said attended her at tn
ed. time, declared that he never saw he
ed until longsefterward.
ice Charge Faure Was Poisoned.
no The only reason to believe that n
0i Faure did not die natural death
ma found in the fact that his body deeor
iel posed with unusual rapidity and
ler offset this there are statements Of Sc
ns' eral of the best known physicians
se' Paris, who certified that he died
IL cerebral hemorrhage. The other stor
De that Nine. Steinheil was present whit
he passed away, seems unfortunate
OK to be true, and great regret is e
yer pressed that circumstances have nc
ack compelled the disclosure to the wor
owl of this old scandal which the Eau
md family and the friends of the form
ary president thought was buried with J

HIGH MEAT IN SCOTLAND.

Dispatches this week from Glasgow
Scotland, indicate that high meat prices
are causing much agitation there, saws
the National Provisioner. The members
or the Glasgow United Fleshers' society
nave resolved II raise the retail price OF
butcher meat by one penny per pound.
with the opening Of the st. Lawrence sea-
son IT was expected that, as In former
years, Canada would be able to export
large numbers of fat cattle, but the i'm
ports at Glasgow from Canadian ports
show a falling off of fully IS per cent dur
ing the past five months as compared with
the same period last year.
The present state Of the live stock mar
ket is attributed TO the great scarcity Of
Fat cattle In the United States. Home
supplies have been almost up to the av-
erage, but owing to the falling off In the
imports home stocks have been used up
10 an unusual extent. There is therefore
not much prospect that prices of live
stock viii! fall until the autumn, when the
home fed lots Will be ready for the mar
ket.
The following are the numbers of cattle
landed At Merklands Wharf, Glasgow,
from Canadian and United States ports
for the first five months of the presen,
year. together with the figures for the
corresponding period of 1907.

Tho brood sow can be made a source OF
profit In every feed lot,
Where the SOW finds an important place
on the farm, the PIC thrives the best.
Young hogs will not make a profitable
growth in a dry lot without a variety OF
food.
The hog 70 thrive best. must be given
food tina win build up the system evenly.
An even lot OF pigs anne be expected
from a choice lot OF sows bred to different
bears.
Never breed 10 a boar that - excessive
~ e.. or that has had his powers OF re-
production overtaxed.
The breeder 10 receive the greatest pos
sible profit with hogs. must have them
reach a marketable weight as quickly as
possible.
Ii nearly all cases too early breeding OF
the SOW stunts the growth and prevents
a proper development OF the frame.
See that they are not obliged to eat
their feed In filth or mud. md what Is
still worse, In the dust,
A race or family Of hogs kept on the
same farm Will improve or degenerate ac-
cordirs to the ability or shiftlessness or
the owner.
