The case cut of court. Those familiar
with the matter have regarded the

criticising the acts and in attacking
the characters of reputable citizens
should start suit because of some dis
pleasing reference to himself.
The o,her cases in when demurreTs
were sustained are those of the United

Wealth fin Swamp Lands.

If 1t was good statesmanship and good business to annex far-off, frozen Alaska at a cash outlay of ST,00O,OO0, what is to be said of plan that will add to the very heart of the national domain lands that, measured in pro- ductive capacity. equal the combined arabic areas of the fertile States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois for an in yestment of nothing at all? If 1t paid to wait many years for returns upon that investment in the Northwest, how much more profitable will 1t be to re ceIve an immediate income of more than a billion a year from the nome enterprise?
 These conundrums have been pro pounded to Congress in the guise of several bills providing comprehensive plans for the drainage of the swamp lands of the country by the national government at the ultimate expense of the settlers thereon.
 According to the estimates of the geological survey, there are TS,413,7 TOO acres of swamps and oyer1owed lands in the United States. Unofficlally some engineers express the opinion that upon actual measurement the swamps will be found to cover 100,000,OCO acres.--Technical World Magazine.

DRESSED DOG AS BABY.
How a Woman Outwitted stony Hearted Street Car Conductors.

How . Woman Outwftted stony
 Hearted Street Car Conductors.
 This is a real true dog story
 He Is a pug and a great pet of his mistress, who Is very fond of his fine pedigree. One day she discovered that Teddy could not see as well 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 a great. obstacle presented itself. Conductor after con- ductor insisted that the dog should not ride on his car, says the Portland Ore gonian; so that 1t was only after get ting on and off about d 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 a month, and all would be done for him that was posi- ble. So Teddy's mistress went to q neighbor who had a small baby and 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 it was filled, up would jump a man to give the woman carrying a little baby a 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 filled with people waiting their turn, when a woman turned politely to Teddy's mis- tress and said: My turn comes next ahd will wait for you on account of your baby. It Is so very tiresome to walt with baby
 The doctor opened his door at that moment and called them both in his private office. He said. "1 will show you the very best patient 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 frills of the cap.
 Teddy can see pretty we'll out of one eye now. His mistress expected huge bill for the experts service, but h. stead she received a recelpted bill from the good doctor with note saying that, as Teddy was the first patient he had ever treated of royal dog blood. he esteemed 1t a great honor to have been the means of helping him.

Advertising. says Lily Herald Frost in the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat, Is the lance with which the modern cru sader, known as the business agent, inyades the world of commerce. And an extraordinarily effective weapon 1t is, as the breakfast food people and the patent medicine houses well know.
 The man woh doesn't advertise Is soon a derelict, as idle and useless as a painted ship upon painted ocean. When the advertiser ceases his labor 1t 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 1t with wealth of encomiums and a persstency that usually win.
 By such judicious exploitation books are sold by the thousands. Their names are seen everywhere, in shop windows, on billboards, placarded alohg with brands of cigars or some superior make of whisky. And they are accord ed such high sounding phrases of mer- 1t, 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 ous 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 CT town, free from the road of traffic. the hustle and confusion of the throng- ing multitude, where he could end his days tranquilly. as became a man of his age In casting about for loca- tion, his eye chanced 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 a bargain, having made up his mind to remove to the city.
 That's the very thing" he said. Selling shoes is a nice. easy occupa- tion. It will give me just enough to do to keep me from stagnating, and 1t won't wear me out with overwork. I'll investigate 1t. 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 1t, good will and all. at a bargain.
 "Well." said the other Mir. Foote. "you won't have to change the sign"
