NAMES OF DOGS.

The dog fancier strcked gently tla
silky coat of beautiful spaniel do
you know" he asked an inquisitive
Answers correspondent, where our
dogs get their names from?
The spaniel was so called because
the original breed of this type came
from Spain. The Blenheim spaniel
got his name from Blenheim palace,
where this dog first gained popularity
in the time of the great Duke of
Marlborough. In the same way the
King Charles spaniel owes it's name
to the merry monarch.
Fox terriers did not gain their
name from likeness to the fox, but
from the fact that formerly they were
used in hunting foxes. Many years
ago they were sent by their masters
down the foy's burrow to draw and
Kill their quarry. 1t was in those
days a saying that good fox terrier
never came out of burrow without
the fox. He either brought out his
prey dead, or never came out alive
himself
The bulldog used to drive cattle,
and was trained to meet the rushes
of his enormous charges by gripping
them in their most vulnerable spot
the nose. Thus in time he became
known as the bulldog.
THE dachshund is a German dog,
and, as his name indicates, when
translated, was used for hunting
badgers. Hence his name-badger
dog. Among hunters in the father
land this breed is still popular, al.
though. as a rule, they are now too
delicate to face such a ferocious
fighter as the badger.
"Spitz dogs are so named owing to
their sharp noses. This is also
German name, spitz meaning sharp
pointed. Another name for this
breed is Dalmatian dog, because his
native home was in Dalmatia. New

friend and had great sport on the
water. The thing We enjoyed was
to 60 out in fiat bottomed boat
which had the square front complete

One early spring, when the ice had
just cleared Off, we suggested a sail
in this fiimsy craft. On account of
the front being knocked out, both of
us had to stay in the back, or the
water would have come in. After
staying out for about an hour we de-
cided to return home. My friend be-

Little Mothers Club We organ
lied it for the sake of helping a very
poor woman who had a lot OF chill

to time we gave plays (all the men,

and once we cleared $50. We met
once week at the houses Of the diff

the house I first called the roll
We next considered the business,
then refreshments were served,
and after that we played games
and did many different things.
Our colors were red and white, and
we had gold pins with the initials l..

proposed another girls name and
would say she wished her to belong,
we would vote, and if three or more

ADAM REMEMBERED.
Descendant Erects Monument in His
Honor in Baltimore.

At last justice has been done. Al
last due homer is paid to a man tina.
was celebrated before H. Cabot Lodge
was born, and who started a line
of ancestors before the Pilgrims land
ed at Plymouth Rock-a man who
need not quail at Daughter OF the
Revolution or SILVER at Colonial
Dame. For if we honor George Wash
ing as the Father of His Country"
why should not honor be done Colonel
Adam, who vas the father of about
227 countries?
Baltimore was the first city to erect
a monument to Washington, and 4
is proud to be the first to erect a me-
mortal in stone to the well-known an!
Justly distinguished Adam. Though
not a native of our fair city, Adam
Is as well known here as if this
were Paradise, G.. E. And, as mat.
ter of fact, is not Maryland the Gar
den of Eden? We believe if he were
alive today Adam would feel very
much at home in this city. He would
find that his name is known in al
most every household. And while he
could not expect to be as popular as
ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-eX-ex-M FERDINAND
Latrobe, or as handsome as ex-Gov-
ernor Warfield, or as great a social
favorite as Mr.. Walter De Curzon
Poultney, we would see that he had 4
good time from early dawn until the
next morning. He could bring Eve
and the children along and raise Cain
right in the heart of the city.
On behalf of all the descendants OF
Adam, of whom there are quite
few" in our city, we tender thanks
to our kinsman, Mr.. John P. Brady,
for the erection of this handsome
monument to the head of our family.
For, If we do say it ourselves, we
folks who trace our ancestry back
to Adam come from one of the Oldest

ty brows lifted half in perpelxity,
half in disdain as she watched the
neighbor going home ''cross lots. -
She is SO uick-witted-you'd think
she'd care for the best things-books

really seems to enjoy her homework

just now-as delighted over that new
salad you gave her as 1 should have

her, but tenderly too, for she loved

work first and most" she asked. ct

to do"
But the kind Of work." the girl
protested, lust common cooking and
dish-washing! She might have
thoughts above it."
What would you think of a light
house keeper who had thoughts
above cleaning lamps?"
"Oh, but that's different" the girl
said quickly. That's a matter of
life and death to others"
Her friend shook her head. mo,
dear, 1t isn't different; the task God

He wants it done. The problem is
not ones work, but of lifting ones
work to the level of ones greatest

STRIKE Is NOT BELIEVED ID BE
 COMING

DOUGLAS, Sept 27.-(Special)-
 indications are today that there will be no trouble for the Southwest ern in regard to a talked of strike or prakemen. Oniclals of the road do not anticipate any trouble. They do not consider the situation now as be- ing any more critical than 1t has been for some time past nor indeed so serious as it was at one time. Tney believe that the arrival of a grievance man in El Paso and of a labor commissioner as well, both ot whom have been expected, gave rise to rumors in El Paso that the situa- ton had become critical.
 From Fl raso today comes the an nouncement that even if the strike should go through 1t will be confined to the order. directly concerned and there will be no sympathetic strikes, such affairs being contrary to the rules of the other orders. In any event no strike is anticipated by ei- ther side of the controversy for at least ten days.
