A LITTLE NONSENSE.
A NICE STORE.

A girl in bargain rush got hurt;
They bumped her nose and they tore her
skirt.
But a nice house surgeon took her case,
Put bargain bandages on her face;
Put bargain liniment on her back
And sent her home in a bargain hack.
Next day she was back with three girls
more.
Who wouldn't patronize such a store?

Cites Other Attacks.
Mr.. Gordon's letter follows:
The Hon. Commissioners, District Of Co.
lumbia. Washington, D. c.
Gentlemen: l observe by The washin-
ton Herald that the nine-year-old daush-
ter of Thomas Hayes. Of 200 H street
northwest, was seriously injured yester-
day by a bulldog owned by Dr. NorvaI
Herbert, of 2lS II street northwest 1t
seems to me that this is becoming such a
frequent occurrence that our government
should take immediate steps to rid the
city of this particular breed Of dog II
you will remember, il was only a few
months ago that child was almost torn
to pieces by one Of these dogs on CO.
lumbia road. and in that case also it
was the pet dog Of the household.
About two years ago I was attacked
by one Of these beasts, and since that
time have taken note that it IS not an
uncommon occurrence for one of these
ferOCious animals to turn on children
without the slightest warning and liter
ally tear them to pieces, and in every
case would have killed the person at
tackled had some person not come TO their
rescue. as did the boy in saving the life
of the little girl yesterday.
Il might add that the muzzle law does
not protect children from the attacks OF
bulldogs, for the reason that they always
make the attack on their masters own
family, or within the home or yard where
they are not required 10 be muzzled.
Fiercer Than n Lion.
1T seems to me that the bulldog is
more dangerous than the lion or tiger.
for the reason that We protect ourselves
against such animals, but there is no pro-
lection for the helpless child against this
beast.
Il trust that this object lesson will
make the same impression upon you, gen
tlemen, as the killing of the little girl
did the other day with the motorcycle
carrying two passengers, which you
promptly investigated and passed rule
l hope now that you will
take the same fearless steps and Danish
all the bulldogs from the District of Co
lumbia
Il again wish to state that it seems to
me criminal negligence on the part of
our government to allow these dogs to
in our District another day.

Five Rules For Women Takers.

In the November Woman's Home Com.
panion contributor advises women or
talk Five rules are laid down:
/. Don't tell long stories or even shor4
ones, unless you have an especial gift
for it.
2. Remember that talking about
yourself is an indulgence, and, as such
should be strictly limited
3. If another woman tells YOU OF
some sensation or experience of her own
don't Immediately cap it with one OF
yours. Swapping tastes" is of the
lowest order of conversation. | have
been in circles where the talk consist
ed in each woman's taking her turn in
telling how she thought or felt about
some commonplace subject, such as the
digestibility of shell fish, or liability
to colds.
4. Never lose consciousness of the
proportion of the talk you are usurping
and if you are taking more than your
share, be sure that the quality matches
the quantity.
5. Discriminate always between tall,
for your own pleasure and talk for your
friends. People constantly tell the
supidest anecdotes because these have
become charged with some extraneous
charm impossible to transmit. Perhaps
the occasion when it took place was inn
portant because some particular person
was there, and every detail of it has
taken on radiance visible only to the
narrator.

Putting ON any old thing that we own,
Here where we dress-if it suits us to-
Working or taking things easily, lazily;
Nobody caring how frowsy we've
grown?
Think not we're caviling sourly at city
life,
Nobodyis fonder of cities than we,
Still, it is wearing, grim and gritty
life,
Once in while it is pleasant to flee,
Far from the heat and the noise and the
hurrying,
Out where the restful old camp is our
home,
Where the birds chatter and squirrels
are scurrying,
Here, where no white lights make
glare of the gloam.
Here for time-like couple of saw
ages
We can be free of pretense and dis
guise,
We can recoup from the frets and the
ravages
Which have drawn circles of blue
round our eyes;
Here is the scent OF the pines in the
breeze again,
Here is the sunshine to paint US with
tan,
Under the sky and the sun and the
trees again,
Gee, but it's good to a wearified man!

Eva Earns Ninety Per Cent Year on
Original Investments.

In Wonderful Hawaii" the first Of
a series of absorbing articles on the
peculiar social and political conditions
of our island territory, in the Novem-
Der American Magazine Ray Stannard
Baker tells the marvellous story Of the
domination OF the sugar barons in
Hawaii. The story Of one plantation is
typical;
'Let me tell the story here of Eva
\ plantation, which, while it is not the
largest, is one of the most successful
in the islands. It was established about
twenty-five years ago. The original in
yestors capitalized the venture at $780,
600. Later they had to assess themselves
for $500 900 more, so that the stock
finally cost 100000. Beyond this, in
the early days, they had, of course, to
borrow largely, but those amounts were
soon paid off, BY 1896 the company
had grown very profitable IL earned for
a time five per cent. month ON the
existing capitalization. II then pur-
sued the course which many Of the plan
tation corporations of the islands have
followed; 1t issued a series OF stock
dividends. That is, it presented its
stockholders with 80 much additional
stock free of cost. To-day with
out another cent in cash having been
added, the capitalization is $5.000000
on which the corporation is paying eigh-
teen per cent. a year dividends. In 9TH
er words, the original owners of the
stock have seen their investment increase
fivefold, and on that dvefold increase
they are now receiving eighteen per cent.
year. This is the equivalent, for all
the original investors, Of ninety per
cent. a year. Moreover, the stock in
Eva, with par value of S25 share,
sells at S32. Is it any wonder that
they talk OF the success of the system
in Hawaii"
