Il once knew a very eccentric dog" says
a writer in Bailey's Magazine, "he was a
real old English spaniel, with long body,
short legs with great bone, grand head,
jaws and teeth like a VOLTS almost, and
long ears that would meet his nose Poor
fellow, his temper was certainly unami-
able, but l think this was caused by the

showing much attachment to any one he

him so much as being laughed at-that
was an insult he never forgave. II you

a very ominous manner, and if you per
sisted in it would snap at you and give you
such a bite that you would not care to try
again.
'If you wished TO please him you had TO
get lot OF old birds nests and give them
to him, one by one; he would carry them
about for some time and then he would
sit down and tear them TO pieces. He was
not particularly fond OF going for a walk
with any one, but II you got some nests
and gave him one occasionally he would
trot along with you as happily as possible.
Another curious habit OF his was that
he would never get out of the way for any

Birthday Chinas Formally Celebrated

ing racial customs in n higher degree, the

The period is all to the Chnaman that

Thanksgiving Valentine day. the Fourth
OF July and st. Patricks day, II one can
imagine such a potpourri of tradition and
festivities The Chinese New Year is a
season OF peace on earth and good will
toward men, and many firecrackers to keep
away divers and sundry devils and mali
cious spirits.
In Omaha the firecrackers form only a
part of the decorative scheme Of Chinese
New Year for city ordinance forbids pyro-
technfc indulgences so startingly out OF the
season of the Fourth.
The 10y OF the Chinaman's New Year In
those cities where they have real Chinese
settlements is likely to bo fraught with
severe strains on the compelled good nature
OF the season. Devilish boys soon learn
that the Chinaman must keep his wrath
troops they invade the sacred precincts to
raise bedlam in the temples and subject
the craven gods to heather indignities.
They are protected in this vandalism by
the certainty that the Chinamsn must keep
his temper or fall under the ban of these
same gods.
The New Year for China is the signal for
a gathering of the vagrants and tramps
about the Chinese cemeteries along the Pa
clfic coast The rice cakes and highly
seasoned viands that are left on the graves
of the departed for material benefit OF the
souls of both dead and living are consumed
by the hungry wanderers who lie in walt
The Celestials are thus often led to believe
that the viands so deposited have been con-
sumed by the hunger of their long dead
ancestors and they must take great unction
thereat The real Chinaman would rather
be felon than to be considered unfilial.
About the Chinese restaurants and laun-
dries at this season one sees many little
red cards bearing name in English accom-
panied by an array OF the Chinese char
acters. These are remembrance cards sent
to former students by the teachers in
Chinese missions, many of them from far
over in the orient One Omaha Chinaman
has been receiving a card from his mission
teacher each New Year day for eighteen
years, and he has come to consider it a
part of the tradition of the day.
Il wonder" he said in curlously good
English, as he turned over the little red
pasteboard, IF it means that the Chinese
New Year is becoming Americanized or the
American missionary is getting a tlnge of

Chief Sanitary Inspector Ball protested

other European cities, declared nine out Of

bakeries. All other domestic animals are

Failing to get promise from the teach

troduced some college ideas into the heads
of the youngsters. In any event, Dickson,
Wallace and Letter were the first three
arrested. There is doubt as to the time
the hearings will be held, since Ida Stevens
and Gertrude Mortimer, who were two of
four teachers who tainted in the school
room owing to the strong odor Of cheese,
are in bed and may not be able to appear

was refused, and the boys left him, threat

was broken into and tho limburger cheese
smeared over every heat radiator in the
building, At the same time cheese was
placed inside each radiator, The teachers
tried to teach in the hot, close rooms with
the limburger cheese, but they could not
do 1t with success and all became Ill. After
the schools were dismissed for the holi-
