REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE.
Proud Owners Of Pets, Listen to This
from FIatbush, N. Y.

Zip, a son Of Bluff, the big bull ter
rier. -is the most respected dog in Flat
bush, N. Y, says q correspondent. He
requires every other dog within 40
blocks to walk q chalk line and bow
to him as he passes by. He can lick
everything on four feet up to twice his
size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the-
Pump. His master attributes Zip's
prowess to his fondness for the pipe.
Like Old King Cole:
He calls for his pipe.
He calls for his glass,
He calls for his fiddlers three.
THAT Is the most remarkable dog in
the world" says his master. HE takes
my pipe out of my mouth and smokes
1t, standing on his hind feet. See! The
stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco
doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on
his fours and chase all over the house
to create a draught When the fire Is
well started again he finishes his
smoke and returns me the pipe.
Strong? He ought to be named Sam
son. Why, we have . piano that
weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with
a rope and he will pull It all over the
room"

How to Shoot with q Revolver.
To begin sighting along the barrel
of q six-sh0oter. as in target gallery
practice, is a handicap to the man
who wants to learn the art at its best
The hand and eye, of course. work
together with all weapons and in all
combats; but there is a difference be
tween the eye-general and the eye
particular. The best form of boxing or
fencing-that is what the use Of the
six-shooter means. You point your
fist or your foil instinct. You cannot
help pointing your finger directly and
straight at any object, no matter how
hard you try. Yet surely you do not
sight down your finger. In the best
work with the six-shO0ter, you point
with the barrel just as you point with
your finger, or really. you point with
your wrist and forearm. and the six
shooter is the finger of your wrist. the
lengthening of your arm. That is the
theory and creed of the six-shoOter.-

Asia there are vast areas on which nc
European foot is known to have trod,
nor even any European eye to have
looked. The greatest unseen area lies
in Arabia. Almost all the southern
half of Arabia is occupied, according
% native report, by a vast wilderness

ing of the Void" No European has
ever entered this immense tract

JUMPED At NATURES eIpDiNo.
Would-ee Suicide Not Completely
Nerved for Final Parting.

With a groan of despair he made up
his mind to die.
Ruined financially, and with not
particle of hope for getting on his
feet again. he realized that the only
chance for his family escaping pauper-
ism and its attendant miseries was to
obtain immediate use Of his heavy
life insurance.
Furthermore. If he fingered on he
would be unable to pay the premiums
on his policies, which unfortunately
were not old enough to carry them
selves, SO that they would forthwith
lapse.
Death, therefore, was the only solu-
tion to the problem. It was q decision
the bitterness of which can only be
understood by those forced by circum-
stances to confront 1t.
He put on his hat and overcoat and
went out of the house, lest the express
sion on his telltale countenance should
betray to his loved ones his fell inten-
ton. While he was traversing the
crowded streets he would consider the
best and least suspicious modes of
consummating his purpose. II he
could encompass 1t SO that the thing
looked to the world like an accident,
so much the better. There would
then be no scandal.
AS he stepped from the curb to
cross the street an automobile. driven
by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur,
came tearing around the corner at ter
rifying speed.
And the energetic leap which the
would-be suicide made back to the
sidewalk out of harms way was q
caution.

Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.
The post mortem statistics of the big

victim was predisposed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stomach
is unable to digest food, the body does
not receive the required nourishmen,
constipation eDsues and the victim be-
comes thin, weak and haggard. Az re-
suit, the body becomes fertile field for
the germs Of disease to lodge and -four

Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia TO progress unhindered 10
