DOG INTELLIGENCE.

The Eskimo begins to train his dog

lures Of Eskimo villages. are puppies

strength in the effort to break away
and join in the frolics of their elders.
Not until a dog bred for mail service
is one year old is 1t put in training for
the trail. 1t begins by running ten
miles with the team; then it is dropped
out. Next day it runs the same dis
lance. Gradually the distance Is in
creased until it reaches its fifteenth
month Of life, when it becomes part of
the regular service. The life Of a mail
dog is from three to four years. No
greater punishment can be inflicted
than to lay a dog of from service.
When unruly they are often threat
ened with a lay-off, and with almost
human intelligence they seem to un-
derstand the disgrace it implies in the
eyes Of their fellow workers on the

slant spur to an unambitious dog is

COSTLY MATTRESSES.
The Kind That Are Used on the Big
Plate Glass WAGONS.

Probably about as costly Il sort o:
mattress as any is one that is made
not to sleep on at all, but to spread
on the long, broad table or platform Of
the wagons built for carrying plate
glass.
These mattresses, which are made of
curled hair, are very thin, scarcely
thicker than a comfortable, and must
be made with the greatest care to in
sure perfect uniformity of thickness.
A lump anywhere would be likely to
break the plate Of glass resting upon
II, and there would be still greater
danger If the weight of two plates of
glass was rested on the lump at once.
A mattress for a plate glass wagon
costs. according to size, from $50 to
SIS. In use the corners Of smaller
plates carried on it cut into the tick
ing covering, and sooner or later 1t has
to be made over. Simply to make owe
such a mattress costs from $40 to $25.
On the table topped and mattress
covered glass wagons the biggest
plates are carried with confidence and
safety. The table Is built to remain
absolutely rigid. and the thin but uni.
form mattress protects the plate from
jar.
Before plate glass store fronts had
come into common use, when the ham
ding Of a big plate was counted as a
good deal more of a job than it Is now,
they used to carry q great pane of
glass In a sort Of frame, which was
put on the wagon with the glass in 1t.
At its destination this frame or sup
port was worked carefully across the
sidewalk to the store front, where the
glass was dislodged from it to be set,
and altogether the setting Of a great
plate Of glass was then quite an un-
dertaking.
Now, with the setting Of such plates
a common daily occurrence and with
men skilled in the handling Of them.
they simply carry q big plate out and
lay it on their mattress covered table
topped wagon and carry It to where
It is to go and there slide It of, to rest
It for a moment on blocks On the side
walk, and then they pick It up and
carry it to the window front.
Then they run under the lower edge

In the window frame. There again it
Is raised on blocks until the straps can
be withdrawn, and then the blocks are
taken out and the glass secured in

care, but still with comparative ease

are thus moved and set on all but the

TO BRYAN.

The recent visit of Mr.. Bryan to
what he once designated 1.-THE enemy's
country" appears to have aroused the
resentment of influential democratic
newspapers that are opposed to his
nomination. The New York World,
for instance, extended this editorial
s%alutation to the Nebraska candidate
when he arrived in that city:
Mr.. Bryan having returned to New
York, the World again submits to
him the three questions which he has
artfully lodged for the last three
months:
What states did you lose In 1896
which you could carry in 1908?
What electoral votes did you lose in
1900 which you could win in 1908?
What elements Of diss abstraction
and discomfort did you fail to arouse
then which you could successfully ap.
peal to now?
1t is time Mr.. Bryan vindicated his
claim to a nomination which he as.
sumes to be his by Q sort OF divine
right. In 1896 he had the Democratic,
the Populist and the Silver Republi.
can nomin%a atoms; yet he polled fewer
votes than the Democratic and Popu.
lists polled in 1892. In 1900 he had
the Democratic and Populist nomina.
lions, with full Silver Republican sup.
port; yet he polled fewer votes than
he got in 1896. II he is nominated
again this year, Is there evidence or
indication that he will not be weaker
than he vas ia his other two cam.
paigns?
There q be no justification of Mr..
Bryan's nomination except on the
ground that he could do more than
any other Democrat to unite the party,
that he could poll more votes than
any other Democrat and that he could
carry more states than any other
Democrat. Yet it is absolutely GER
tain that he cannot carry his own
state. 1t is absolutely certain that he
cannot carry Minnesota or either of
the Dakotas, which even the Republt-
cans concede to Governor Johnson.
1t is absolutely certain that he cannot
carry New York, without whose thirty
nine electoral votes no Democratic
candidate for president has the re.
hottest chance of success.
Mr.. Bryan has twice led the Demo-
cratic party to defeat and disaster. If
there is any good reason why he
should be allowed again to lead it to
defeat and disaster, let him make the
reason public. He cannot be elected.
Why should be receive the nomina-
ton?

LEGISLATION IS URGED.
President Again Reminds Congress
That New Laws Are Necessary,

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-President
Roosevelt yesterday sent his fourth
special message to congress. The
house, which was in committee of the
whole, did not receive the document
yesterday, as 1t failed to resolve itself
into it's original parliamentary form
owing to the flibuster tactics of the
minority and q squabble over the
rules. AS committee of the whole 1t
could not receive the message.
After waiting for over an hour to
deliver the message to the house, the
presidents secretary repaired to the
senate chamber, where the message
was delivered shortly after s o'clock.
The house received the message this
morning.
The president makes another plea
for the enactment Of q law limiting
the power of Injunction in labor cases
and gives an elaborate argument for
immediate amendment to the antitrust
law. He suggests q national incor.
poration act as the only means of
solving the great monopoly and COM
bination problem of the future.
The president also recommends the
establishment of q finance commission
to investigate the entire financial
system of the country and place it on
q sound, permanent basis. He asks
that steps be taken for the revision OF
the tariff by the next congress and
that q commission of congressman and
government experts be appointed to
investigate present conditions and pre-.
pare q schedule for presentation to
congress.
The president also recommends the
establishment Of a postal saving bank
system and an ample appropriation to
enable the interstate commerce com
mission properly to supervise and
control the accounting systems o.
railways and the establishment of for
est reserves in the Appalachian noun
tains.
