Animal actors are by no means new
to the stage. There are on record in
stances where four legged performer
has made the greatest success in a
play, drawing hundreds OF people night
after night by the magnetism Of his
inarticulate art. In 1914 "The Dog Of
Montargis" was produced at Covent
Garden theater. London. II was writ
ten around a true incident in which a
man was murdered in the forest OF
BOndy and the murderer tracked by
means of HIS dog. One day this dog
suddenly sDrang at the throat Of a
man and almost killed him. whereupon
the wretch. terror struck. confessed
that he was the murderer. This dra-
matte incident formed the basis Of the
play. and everything depended upon
the cleverness OF the dog. he was
called Dragon, and his acting was 50
marvellous that the play achieved a re-
markable success. running for thirty
nine performances.

Clerks. however poor, are popular

There Is a movement on the part OF
the National Brotherhood Of Trainmen
to exclude the CoIored train porters
from the duties of bralSemen, unless
the individual wears a brakeman's

posed to the principles of the Brother

A Queer chin.se Notion.

One Of the beliefs which the Chinese
are slowly unlearning is that foreign
ers use the eyes and hearts of China
men I'm compounding rare and costly
drugs which are valuable aids in
magic. Medicine and magic have for
ages gone hand I'm hand in China, just
as they once did in Europe. Ignorant
Cinnamon therefore readily believe
such tales. The use of eyes Of Chinese
by foreigners in metallurgy Is describ-
ed in a work called a Deathblow
to Corrupt Practices" published in
1870. According to this, when white
Christians had charge Of a funeral
they drove all the relatives and friends
from the house. Both eyeballs wer~
then removed from the corpse, the orr
fees being filed with plaster. This
was called sealing the eyes for the
western journey" By compromising
these eyes with a hundred pounds OF
Chinese lead, this veracious chronicle
continues. eight pounds Of silver could
be extracted from it. The sight or
sans Of an other people were useless

is too well known to need further
exploitation here
Be that as it may, the fact remains
that Hon William H. Taft viii be re-
CURED to confront a situation which
viii not prove half so embarrassing to
him as it will be to the thousands of
Colored people who have espoused his
cause
When Mr.. Taft made the announce
ment SCIENTIFICALLY that he would net
appoint any Colored man to Office who
was distasteful to the white people in
the community in which he serves, he
drew the colorline in a manner that
CRATES harshly with his sworn obiiga-
ton as President of the United States.
So far as we have been able to OBJ
serve, he is the first President, Democ
rat or Republican, who has had the
temerity to give voice to any such posi-
ton.
That he Is violating the plain provi-
sions of the Constitution which he is
sworn to support viii hardly admit of
a question by those people who win read
that instrument and carefully cons de-
the provisions which II so plainly con-
tains.
If Mr.. Taft is correctly quoted. he
is riding for fall" No statesman CT
President can attain permanent sue

In this may be found true greatness
