Docs Superior to 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 majOTky 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 distuTbers of the peace than it
is to prove a 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-
saTy for anyone now TO advise young
men about to leave college TO honor
money, honor moaey-getting and
honor power" yet such was the strong
est note of a baccalaureate 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, it is love Of money
and love of power.
This may be said without indorsipg
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-
er 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 desTuctiVe-a curse to its
pOssessOT and an evil example to the
world.

bill or defy Aldrich, and swings with
all the force Of something more than
800 pounds of active muscle and bone.
Immediately the stroke is made the
president assumes invariably one atti-
tude-that of anxious expectancy. He
always follows through" on drives
and brassie or iron shots so his club
comes up over the left shoulder. It
remains there while he watches the
course of the ball, his lips slightly
apart and his body bent forward.
When the ball has settled he straight
ems up and laughs.
No one who ever played with the
president missed that laugh at the end
of his stroke. If the play is a good one
the presidents laugh is a shout; but
even if 1t is a drive into a bunker or
off the course, he laughs. Senator
Bourne, Gen. Edwards, Vice-President
Sherman and others who play often
with Mr.. Taft have remarked on the
fact that he refuses to lose his temper.
1t makes it hard for man who does
get angry and swear, and these three
feel that they have a grievance. No
one of them hesitates to express his
opinion of a ball that does Eot go
where he intended to drive it, except
when be is playing with the president
Mr. Taft probably is most impress
sive in his golf game when putting.
His putter is a massive piece Of wood,
iron and lead. The face THAI strikes
the ball is broad, corrugated and with
weight behind 1t. The president does
not smooth the turf in front OF the ball
before putting. He squares himself,
carefully shifting his feet until be is
directly in line with the hole. Then he
puts with care, and watches, again,
anxiously the course of the ball. If It
goes around the cup, instead oil Into it,
the president says 'Pshaw." Then he
laughs. and tries again. Thai laugh Is
the most trying part of being partner
or opponent of the president at golf.
It gets ca the nerves Of a aian who
wants to swear.

ting impressive.

Washington.-When President Taft
plays golf his style is most earnest
when making the play and most non
chalant and deliberate between
strokes. He walks from one drive to
the other as though he was on saun-
teTing tour. When the president is to
drive of he makes his own tee Of sand.
He does not use the patent little rub
Der tee, nor does he have a caddy build
the little mound for him.
Mr.. Taft's theory on this subject is
that it is good for the general exercise
Of his body and specifically good for
what might be termed his middle west
to stoop down. So he does IT.
But the president stoops down in a
way that never will reduce the waist
line. He stands on one foot and ele-
Yates the other in the attitude of a
man stretching across a billiard table
for long shot. Having placed the
ball on the tee, the president takes a
long, hard look at the course ahead.
If there is conversation behind him he
turns around and shouts "Fore!" In a
tone that cannot be mistaken.
The presidents swing at the ball on
a drive, with a brassie on the fair
green, is a strenuous performance.
ALI of the Taft smile disappears. and
the stern look he assumes would be a
shock to the public that has an impress
sion only of the "jolly" Taft. He sets
his jaw as though about to veto tariff

no means thick enough to interfere with
navigation to any extent.
Yesterday morning the river was frozen
from shore to shore the sheet Of ice
covering the water being about a half
inch thick 1t was soon broken up by the
moving tugs and steamers and was car
ried ashore by the westerly winds.
Last night ice made again. 1t was
light and soon broke up this morning.
Where the ice has been making and drift

there freezing together the ice was heavy
enough to give the tugs some trouble.
The tug Carter carried lighter to
Shepherds to load coal for Georgetown.
The ice was found packed so heavy about
the old railroad pier that the master OF
the Carter deemed it unwise to attempt
to force the lighter through it.

After weary wait of more than
third of century Captain Jacks band
Of Modoc Indians are about to be permit
''lava BEDS OF California and Oregon.
Following their disastrous warfare on
the white settlers of Oregon in 1874. In
which Gen. Candy was treacherously
killed. these Indians were exiled to In
dian Territory. where they were placed
upon the Quapaw reservation. At that
time there were 217 Of them, but before
a year had elapsed the, number was re-
duced to 49, BY 1877 there were not more
than 112. and at the present time there
are only forty-nine.
In a report recently made. to the Senate
by Senator Curtis of Kansas, himself an
Indian. he says: "This rapid decrease
seems to be the result of mental anxiety
caused by their enforced separation from
family and friends"
Senator Curtis report recommends the
passage of a bill which already has re-
ceived the approval OF the House anG
which authorizes the return of these alb

allotment of land is now going on, ano

of IA. are extraordinarily good workers.
He also says there are no drunkards
among them and that they are careful

that the bill will pass tire Senate.
