Throughout the evening there was
a good sized crowd at the auditorium
and the judging of the pointers proved
of unusual interest to the spectators
a number of local exhibitors winning
prizes in this class, among them be-
ing S. F. Hogue; T. B. Boyd, J. NJ.
Brier and o. Z. Hungate. DR.. George
w. Clayton, of Chicago, judged the
pointer classes.
Anyone in the vicinity of the audi
torium last night could easily imagine
that something of great interest to the
dog family was going on inside the
building. The sharp, shrill barks of
with fox terriers and poodles, the
plaintive baying of the hounds, the
fierce sounding growls of the bulldogs
and the deep. hoarse barking of the
mastiffs and st. Bernards mingled in
one clamOrOuS chorus of the CANNES
that protested against being placed on
exhibition amid unfamiliar surround
ings. Notwithstanding the dogs were
all we'll bred and CLASSY they made
al much noise as a bunch of low-caste
dogs that had never known the
superior advantages of having cele-
brated ancestors.

Noggs is of decidedly sandy COM
plexion and to use the expression of
the enthusiastic young ladies. he is
just beautifully ugly which is the

upon a bull purp. Newman Noggs

Dous Superior 70 Men.

Dogs are property. Men are merely
human beings, and as compared with
the rights of property in dogs the
rights of human beings go for the
most part by the board. The owners
of dog property may be and usually
are outnumbered four or forty to one
in any well-settled community, but the
minority's dog property may make
night hideous for the majority and ap-
parently the majority is helpless,
without redress. Such are the safe
guards which the law throws around
property in dogs that it is more diff
cult to prove that the dogs of any
given owner of dog property are pesti-
lential disturbers of the peace than it
is to prove human being guilty of
murder. Those who have tried this
have found it to be so.

LOVE OF MONEY AND POWER.
Two Traits That Are Distinctly Amer
lean, But Lacking Wisdom, They
Are as Nothing.

It would hardly be thought neces-
sary for anyone now to advise young
men about to leave college to honor
money, honor money-getting and
honor power" yet such was the strong
est note of a baccalauTeate orator at
Dartmouth. If there is anything on
earth or under the earth that on-com-
ing Americans do not need to have
urged upon them, ii is love of money
and love of power.
This may be said without indOTsing
in any respect the malicious, and,
for the greater part, insincere at
tacks upon wealth so often made by
demagogues and hypocrites. The pas
sion for money and the Obsession of
money-getting have become altogeth-
eT too conspicuous as American traits
They bring little content to those who
are thus afflicted, and they awaken re-
sentiment in the breasts of millions.
In spite of new teachings and prac-
tees, knowledge still is power. Sup
plemented by wealth, knowledge be-
comes power triumphant Without
wisdom the power of money is law
less and destructive-a curse to its
possessor and an evil example to the
world.

a Fortunate Mishap.

In certain New England town they
manufacture a well-known kind of
towel, most efficient for drying pur-
poses. How that towel first happened
to be made in the form which has
proved so profitable to its makers is
the subject of an amusing legend. 1t
gavoTs strongly of belonging to the
too good 10 be true" genus of anec-
dotes, and is as follows:
Once the machinery in the towel
factory, busily engaged in turning o4t
a very conventional brand of towel,
suddenly went wrong and began, prac-
tically, to go backward. There was
much excitement. Eventually the ma
chinery was chastised and set to
rights again.
Butt was discovered that the
towels turned out during that interval
Of mechanical anarchy were of a
texture quite unTivaled for use as
bath towels. At once the machinery
was set going backward again, and
has been travelling in that direction
ever since, to the great delight of the
stockholders in the towel company.

The Man of Fifty,

The man of so may lack something
in both ambition and energy, but he
has the advantages Of experience and
sounder judgment His years have
been i'll spent if he has not acquired
a degree of wisdom. AS for capacity.
no employer of so or 60 years will
admit that he is less able to do his
part in the world than he was 25
years before. He probably rates his
own powers considerably higher than
they were at the earlier age, and if
he retires from business at the latter
period he does not confess that it is
because he is no longer able to at
tend to his affairs as well as he ever
did. He ought TO be willing to Judge
of the ability of other men of his age
with equal favor.

DEATH, THE GREAT LEvELER.
In the Republic of the Grave There Is
No Rank or Standing or
PTerogatiVe.

In the democracy of the dead, all
men at last are equal. There is nelth-
er rank nor standing nor preroga-
tive in the republic of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise, and the song OF the
poet is silent. Dives relinquishes his
millions and Lazarus his rags. The
poor man is as rich as the richest, and
the rich man is as poor as the pauper.
The creditor loses his usury, and the
debtor is acquitted of his obligation.
There the proud man surrenders his
dignities, the politician his honOrs, the
worldling his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unreQuited toll.
Here at last is natures final decree
in equity. The wrongs of time are re-
dressed, injustice is expiated, the
irony of fate is refuted, the unequal
distribution of wealth, honor, capacity,
pleasure and opportunity which makes
life so cruel and inexplicable ceases
in the realm of death. The strong
est there has no supremacy, and the
weakest needs no defense. The might
lest captain succumbs to that invinci-
BILE adversary, who disarms alike the
victor and the VanQuished.-JOhn

CARRIED AVERSION TO GRAVE.
With Thought of Death Before Him,
Albanian Was Strong on Antipa-
thy to Water.

Obsessed for years with the notion
that water is fit for drinking purposes
only, and then only in small doses,
Joe Booth, a we'll known character about
town with the beard of a patriarch,
strOlled into the undertaking parlor of
GreenbuTg, Bond & Bloomfield. says
the Atlanta Journal The weight of
20 years was on his shoulders, and
the SORROWS of ages seemed to weigh
on his heart.
Il amt got long in this world" he
said. Il want to make one last re-
quest When l die / want you to lay
me out, but want you to promise me
one thing-don't, please mister, don't
wash any part of me except my
neck!"
Mr.. Bond looked at the man a mo-
ment wondering if this was a case
for the ordinary or the board of
health.
please, mister, it's little matter
the last request of an old man-just
my neck, that's ALL"
Mr.. Bond promised it should even
be so, and Booth went out with an &C.
static look on his face. Theory had
won a victory over the dogma that
cleanliness is next to godliness.

To Stop Couuhinu.

Coughing is one of the nuisances
that no one has been able to abolish
in churches or in theaters. A ply
sician, however, claims that the
coughing nuisance is a mere question
of acoustics.
There is a subtle connection be-
tween the ear and the throat" he
said when the ear is strained the
throat is affected and a cough is the
result
when we can hear perfectly IN
church or theater it never occurs to
US to cough But when we bend for

now among US, will be no more
