Miles Poindexter, at presenS a rep

SNOWDROP
By A. Nj. Mankivell

Snowdrop was a pedigree bull-bitch,
with the widest chest and the shortest
legs, and the most murderous express
sion in all Staffordshire. She belonged
to James Hearn, a Collier, who was
fond of boaSting that he made more by
show prizes on SnowdrOp than by any
other kind of work
One evening James and his friends
were celebrating Snowdrops latest score
They did themselves royally-so roy
ally that, when coming home, James
managed to get himself involved with
a passing tram. So he was taken to
the hospital on a stretcher, and Snow
drop, waddled behind, putting mourn
fully.
For the rest of that night and part of
the next day she sat at the hospital gate
stopping the traffic and making that
rumbling noise inside her chest, which
is the best that a bulldog can do in the
way of a howl. Then JameS's widow,
coming out from a last sight of her
husband, tied a handkerchief-very wet
to Snowdrop's collar, and took her
home.
Funds were low in the Hearn house
hold, and Snowdrop was marketable
property So a few weeks later she
went to live with sporting doctor, who
had had his eye on her from her pup
pyhood She stayed with him only a
short time, and then drifted from mas
ter to master, her price sinking at every
sale. No one would keep her for love
or money They didn't want to show
her-they didn't want to breed her
they knew that she was valuable, and
they didn't care. All that they wanted
was to part with her as quickly as
might be.
When 1 met her, she was very cheap
indeed-so cheap that l suspected her
of mango. But her white hair was
clean and wholesome, and the dealer.
who was trying to get rid of her, swore
by all his gods that she was wonder
full bargain. So she was. at the price.
1 bought her and took her home.
We loved each other from the first.
She pushed her blunt, black nose
against my face, and slobbered all over
me- so that I was flattered into giving
her more sweet biscuits than were good
for her health. We lived together, and
slept together and were perfectly sat
isfied with each other till we met the
sporting doctor.
He nearly fell out of his motor with
establishment Then he drew up, and
pointing an accusing finger at Snow
drop, who had recognized him, and
was fawning on the step of the car.

7 ONDON. England. July 3O.-If
there IS one national American
49, crime more heinous than another
in the eyes of the average Englishman
il is yellow Journalism" The mention
of American politics suggests to the
EngIiShman an orgy of corruption in
Tammany Hall and he is Mortified But
it is the American newspaper that COM
pletely paralyzes his sense of prOprieIy.
1t is true that the average Englishman
has seen very few American newspa
pers and the most of what he knows
about the yellow journalism of Yankee
land he has read in his own British
journals reprinted from American news
papers or magazines
1t is not the British custom to con-
denim severely anything British, even
if it be an admitted evil. The British
habit is to go to work to correct the
evil as quietly as possible and without
any rancOrOus agitation. The American
habit is to precipitate the rancorous agi-
tation, regardless of whether or not
there is any prospect of effecting a
remedy of the evil. The harsh things
that American Journalists say about
other American journalists, and about
any American institution, are tolerably
sure to be reprinted IN the British jour-
nails, and it is from these American in
dfctments of American shortcomings
that English people get their notions
about their cousins across the sea-
Progress of Yellow Sheets
OF late years yellow journalism has
been making great progress in England.
and to a considerable extent this is
blamed upon Americans. 1t is either
product Of the American invasion, or
or a result of the importation of Amer
lean men and methods. 1t is one of
those curious contradictions so often
met with in Britain that the particular
section of the British yellow press
showing American influence should be
the staunch supporter of the conserva-
tive party. and, therefore. the avowed
enemy OF change.
AS a matter of fact England has its
own yellow journalism, indigenous TO
the soil, quite apart from the exoctic
American variety recently imported IT
differs from the American brand not
In kind, but in degree. II is designed
to meet the demand of a certain section
of the public, and it is successful. The
difference between it and American
journalism is that the demand is differ

Catering to the Readers.
That insistence upon class distinction
to be found in every phase of British
life makes itself felt in the newspaper
business as we'll as IN politics, religion
or the stratified barroom. In the Unit
ed States a newspaper publisher at
tempts in his one journal TO appeal to
all classes of readers in his territory.
He prints politics for the politicians, a
woman's page for che women. sports
, for the sportsman. financial news for
