BEAUTY, THE DOG,

Dear Little Men and Little Women:
have Scotch collie that was given 20 me
a year ago Christmas, but she has grown
SO large that YOU would hardly know her to
BE- the same dog. We also had two kittens
that wero the playmates of Beauty. the
dog. She would take them by the neck ana
carry them out on the grass and toss them
up. just as IL she was playing ball with
them. One day one OF our horses stepped
on aitten's foot and hurt IT so badly
that we had to put It out OF pain, and the
other kitten was found one very cold morn
ing frozen. Beauty misses her playnates
very much, but consoles herself by tor

THE TURTLES REVENGE.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: This
morning l was reading over our Letter

and tell you OF trick a turtle once played
on me. Here II Is: We boys were in SWIM

his back in my hat and went away. An
hour later l came back. but alas, the hat
and turtle were gone. / thought at once
that the turtle might have walked off with

saw my hat floating gently down. jumped
into the water. but as l did so something
bit me on the leg. Although | did not see

Hoping that this will interest the readers.

The Demand for Music.
From the New York Sun.

FROM Tue New 1Ofk Suu
When the army of musical virtuosi
mobilizes abroad for it's annual advance
on the United States some time next
month it's numbers will be found much
smaller than usual. 1t rarely happens
that public and artists have so full a
year as the last was. 1t was indeed
the size of the preceding swarm of
musical artists that accounts for the
diminished numbers Of the coming year.
For managers and performers have
learned that this country in spite of it's
fertile plains and it's rich mines, its large
cities and it's prosperous states, still
knows some limit to its power to spend
money for the pleasure of listening to
concerts. The oversupply of music in
New York last year has led to an eX-
tensive curtailment of the amount to be
offered In the coming season Instead of
three opera houses there will be one
will be diminished. AS fewer musical
celebrities are coming, there will be
fewer concerts In every way there will
be an attempt to get back to some rea-
sonable, businesslike basis.
Not only in New York has this condi-
ton of oversupply existed for several
years. Last year surprising reports
reached town of the small audiences at
tracted to hear artists of the foremost
reputation here and in Europe. This
to interest the public; more frequently sit
was an indication of the expenditure of
all the money that this or that particular
town had for investment in musical
pleasures. 1t was not possible for every
one of the musicians to be the first on
the spot so those who came along later
found the cupboard bare. The lesson has
not been without it's effect on the musical
managers and their principals They are
quick to learn when the loss of money
and reputation is at stake The pre-
ponderating interest in opera. to judge
by present indications, is another cause
Of their willingness to remain away from
the golden shores of this country for
another year.

Everything is on the move at the rifle
range preparing for the matches sched-
uled for the guardsmen. many of whom
are hurrying to complete their scores.
The matches open at o'clock Wednes-
day morning, October 5, with the Mer-
chants match, which usually carries fifty
prizes, contributed by the merchants of
Washington as an evidence Of their in
terest in the citizen soldiers.
The guardsman making the highest
score is entitled to first choice of prizes,
and so popular has the match become
that over 200 entries were made in the
match last season. The first days match
is arranged chiefly to accommodate the
guardsmen Of less than expert qualif1-
cations who have time to devote but
one day to the shooting
The Merchants match will be followed
by the Company, Battalion and Regi-
mental matches, in order, and some fine
exhibitions Of skill are expected. as a
decided rivalry exists between some of
the organizations entered In the contests.
The Carmody. Novice and Magruder
matches follow in order, and more than
a hundred contestants will enter for
each event. Thursday there is but one
match open to individual guardsmen the
Harries long-range match, in which each
contestant fires fifteen rounds Sr 1000
yards: and which is scheduled for 1
o clock.
The Mosher match is the center Of
attraction for this date, as teams rep

and New Jersey, Maryland and the Dis
