IN HOTEL LOBBlES
Regarding poas and Dog Show.


 The proposition to have a bench show in connection with the pure food exhibit at the Hippodrome has aroused con siderable interest among owners of fine dogs" said a man who takes much in- terest in hunting
 Birmingham has been noted for sev- eral years for strain of prize winning pointers. And there have been some very fine setters, native and imported, owned here in this city. The game law has prob ably reduced the number of bird dogs by making it more expensive and trou- blesome to hunt than formerly. There are in and about the city some choice strains of utility an dpet dogs. There are number of very fine collies in Jef- ferson county, in fact, the finest strains in this country are represented in some of the small kennels hereabout
 ''There are also some rare specimens Of bulldogs, and bull terriers; then there are many other kind of terriers, to the toy species. French and other poodles, many of them very expensive dogs, are owned by citizens of Birmingham and vicinity. Also there are few very me fox hounds among others the 'red-oone, and the imported English fox hound. Speaking of hounds the same error rela- lively is made by persons who call stand ard bred horses thoroughbreds, when in speaking of the fox hound trained to run men. they are called blood hounds. A blood hound is a ferocious, dangerous an- imal that will follow no trail but one of blood. There are no blood hounds in the south unless some man has one in some isolated instance.
 "A beginning can be made now for future bench shows which could very well be coupled with poultry and pigeon exhibits"

 DEFENDING PITTSBURG.
 Poor old Pittsburg-
 Gracious what a town! Everybody seems to
 Want to run it down.
 Judging from the stories
 Printed by the press
 Few who live in Pittsburg

 How to be polite,
 How to treat a lady How to trip the light
 Fantastic in a ball room
 In a genteel way,

 And "Salome"-say!

 Living in the place
 Who could not be counted
 Subjects for disgrace?

 And the chorus girls? PLEASANT TO CONTEMPLATE. "Second childhood has one great ad- vantage over first childhood" And what is that?" 'No spanking"
