DRHsszD DOG AS BABr.

How \ Woman OutwlSted stony-
Hearted Street Gar Conductors.
This Is a real true dog story
He is pug and great pet Of his
mistress, who is very fond Of bis fine
pedigree. One day she discovered that
Teddy could not see as we'll as usual.
She felt as sad as If he were a brother
or sister and famous oculist was con-
suited, who told her to bring her pet
dog to him.
They started, but great obstacle
presented itself. Conductor after con-
ductor insisted that the dog should not
ride onshis car, says the Portland Ore
gonian; SO that 1t was only after get
ting on and OF about a dozen times
that the Doctors Office was reached.
Teddy was as quiet as he could be
while having his eyes examined, and
his mistress was told she must bring
him every day for month, and all
would be done for him that was posi-
BILE. So Teddy's mistress went to
neighbor who had small baby ana
borrowed an outfit that was not too
dainty. Teddy kept very quiet while
being dressed in the long white dress,
then a cloak and muslin cap, and over
the face long white veil.
Thus they started. Immediately upon
entering car, If 1t was filled, up
would jump man to give the woman
carrying a little baby good seat.
Teddy never wagged his little curled-
up tail once, neither did he bark.
Each day the trip was taken with
the same result--a good seat and a
very quiet baby.
One day the DOCTORS Office was filed
with people waiting their turn, when a
woman turned politely to Teddy's mis-
tress and said: MY turn comes next
aid / will wait for you on account OF
your baby. 1t is 80 very tiresome to
wait with baby"
The doctor opened his door at that
moment and called them both In his
privatee Office. He said. II will show
you the very best patient L have" and
took Teddy carefully in his arms. He
threw back the white veil and dis
closed the dogs little pug nose and a
pert little face looking out cutely from
under the frllls of the cap.
Teddy can see pretty well out of one
eye now. His mistress expected huge
bill for the experts service, but In
stead she received recelpted bill from
the good doctor with a note saying that
as Teddy was the first patient he hat
ever treated Of royal dog blood, h
esteemed it great honor to have beer
the means of helping him.

Advertising, says Lily Herald Frost
in the st. Louis Democrat, Is
the lance with which the modern cru
sader, known as the business agent,
invades the world Of commerce. And
an extraordinarily effective weapon II
is, as the breakfast food people and
the patent medicine houses well know.
The man woh doesn't advertise ID
soon derelict, as idle and useless an
a painted ship upon painted ocean.
When the advertiser ceases his labor
It is then that the receiver gets busy.
1t is when advertising dominates
literature that one feels like protest
ing. The commercial spirit rules the
reading world and thrusts Its volumes
upon It with a wealth Of encOmiums
and persistency that usually win.
By such judiclOus exploitation books
are sold by the thousands. Their
names are seen everywhere, In shop
windows, ON billboards, placarded along
with brands of cigars or some superior
make of whisky. And they are accord
ed such high sounding phrases Of mer-
it, Of cleverness, of dramatic possibili-
ties, that, backed by the authors name
and the illustrators art, they present
such visions of delight that ever curl
GUS mortals must buy them just to
satisfy their curiosity.

On a New Footing.

Absalom Foote, an eccentric old gen.
tleman who had grown tired Of life in
the city, decided to move to some small
er town, free from the road Of traffic,
the hustle and confusion of the throng-
ing multitude, where he could end his
days TRANQUILITY. as became man of
his age. In casting about for a lOca-
ton, his eye CHANGED to light upon the
advertisement in village paper Of one
Thomas r. Foote, who wanted to dis
pose Of his boot and shoe store at n
bargain, having made up his mind to
vemove to the city.
"That's the very thing" he said.
"selling shoes is a nice, easy occupa.
ton. 1t will give me just enough to
do to keep me from stagnating, and It
won't wear me out with overwork. I'll
investigate it. It's queer, though, that
his name is FoOte, my name Is FoOte,
he wants to come to the city and / want
to go to the country"
A visit to the little town decided him.
He liked its appearance and location.
He was pleased, moreover, with
Foote's Shoe Store" and bought It
good will and all, at a bargain.
SWELL" said the other Mr.. FOOte.
"you won't have to change the sign"
''No," he answered, slowly. "I'll just
add little to It."
The next day he added this, just be-
low the sign: ''This place has changed
feet"

Nations to Clash

key of the Anatolian army corps. This

answer to Bulgaria s refusal to accord
compensation for the Oriental railroad
and it is believed to make war prac'
tically inevitable.
1t is expected that Bulgaria imme-
diately will begin to push troops across
the Turkish frontier in order to secure
an advantage before Turkey can begin
general mobilization.
The report that Bulgaria rejected the
offer made by Germany and Austria
Hungary to recognize her independence
if she settled the dispute over the ORR
entail railroad directly with Turkey il

Causes for Doubt.

The World gives five causes leading
to the belief that the contest for the
presidency is in doubt. They are:
'The injection into the campaign in
some of the western states of an in
sidious and disturbing religious factor
which is working against the republic
an candidate
The tendency of the labor vote to
break away from the control of all
parties, as illustrated in the surprising
spread of the socialist cause. both in
the east and the west.
"The inability of both the republican
and democratic parties to intelligently
approximate the distribution of the
vote to be cast by an army of unem.
ployed-estimated in round numbers at
100000 voters.
HThe inability of both the republican
and democratic managers to anticipate
the distribution of the colored vote in
states where it has always been classi
fed as republican.
"The complete absence of an issue OF
general value or vote-getting potency
to either side.
The World goes on to show that Mr.
Taft must carry New York state, the
choicest of the doubtful states, to wiz
by a margin of two votes. If he car
ries it, his election is assured. Bryan
to win must carry New York, Ohio anG
Maryland or Nebraska or West Vir
ginia, which will give him 24S votes, Oh
six more than is necessary to elect him
If he carries New York, Indiana, West
Virginia and Nebraska or Maryland
and yet loses Ohio, he may still b
elected by six votes. Under any com
bination he must carry New York t.
win.

ELECTION RESULTS
new YORK WORLD THINKS 1T
POSSIBLE FOR EITHER.
Gives Several Good Reasons Why
Claims to Have a Poll Which Gives
Taft EOS and Bryan 17s, sure-Who-
ever Carries New York VIII Win
Ohio and Indiana Doubtful

New York state democratic and
Bryan wins; republican and he loses.
This is the deduction the New York
World, which supports Bryan, made
Sunday morning, from a general poll
of the doubtful states taken by that
newspaper and about 20 others through
out the country. Large gains for the
democratic nominee are claimed in all
the so-called doubtful states except
New York, revised poll of which
shows slight republican losses above the
Bronx over last Sundays estimate.
Ohio. Indiana, ...-ebraska, West Vir-
GINA and Maryland are classed as
doubtful and, together with New York,
bring the total of doubtful electoral
votes to 100. The poll gives Taft 2O5
and Bryan 178 sure votes.
Twenty-three states were chosen as
the battle ground for the campaign

Plan of Higher Education.

Effort has been made during the last
year to discover whether it was not
possible to unite the three states of
the Pacific northwest in some educa-
tiOnal plan whereby there could be
provided some one strong private in,
stitution which would supply the de-
mand ond would fulfill the require
ments for the educational need in this
Pacific northwest. 1t is planned that
this institution, while not a substitute
for the work of the state institutions
should be made a private institution
sufficiently strong to be an assistance
to the various state institutions in this
region.
