I'VE thought we had a dog" re-
marked the plump matron.
"How's that7" queried the thin
one.
Just what 1 said" declared the
other.
You know my husband has been
crazy to have a dog, but We didn't
feel that We could afford to buy an
expensive one. You know. when you
want a dog. it's just like renting
houses. The price is high. It's the
other people that always get the bar
gains
Yes. I know about the renting
business, all right" emphatically
agreed the thin one. when you've
got your lease signed you find that
all your friends know of places you
might have had ever so much
cheaper"
Exactly" said the plump matron.
well, about the dog
The other day, when 1 went
downtown, a half-grown dog, with a
piece of rope around his neck, fol-
lowed me from the house TO the car.
simply couldn't get rid of him and
had to shoe him of or he would have
jumped onto the car along with me.
"'Of course, / didn't give the dog
another thought. But when l got
home late in the afternoon there was
that dog camping on our front porch.
He greeted me as if I had always
belonged to him. You never saw
such joyous welcome! Incidentally
he muddied up my new light coat.
But 1 couldn't help laughing at his
funny wiggles and really l sort of
felt f1attered over his attentions.
Then l noticed the rope about his
neck was tied so tight that I Won
dered the poor fellow wasn't throt-
tied. AS soon as l could get into the
house-the dog followed me in,
muddy feet and ALL got the scis-
sors and cut the rope. l could just
hear him breathe a sigh of relief
when that rope came off. Then he
licked my shoes and my hands and
tried to get at my face-but l drew
the line there. After all. he was a
perfectly strange dog and / didn't
know whether he had hydrophobia or
something else undesirable. l knew
he had feas, anyway.
He was the hOmliest dog you
ever saw-one of those black mon
grels with a yellow spot here and
there-just plain cur. But that dog
understood the art of fattery. The
Establishments he poured out upon
me were something conspicuous and
so convincing that l believed that for
some especial reason he had selected
me from everybody else 10 be his
particular mistress forever after.
when Charlie came home and
told him about the dog he was tickled
to death The dog was just as nice
to Charlie as he was TO me. He
seemed to have good manners, too,
for when Charlie told him TO Lie
down. sir he went right down,
turned over on his back and stuck
all four feet into the air with such
a funny expression on his face that
it set US both laughing.
Cant say there's much breed
about him., said Charlie. unless you
might say he's distinguished for the

Comment From Capital

The probe of the state department
revealed that money was expended
for one thing and charged TO anoth-
er, while the committee on expendi-
lures in the navy department discov-
cred that more than three million
dollars worth Of supplies were taken
from the Washington navy yard with

the only thing the republicans are
afraid Of in the coming campaign.
There is another item that is giving
them worry. They are wondering
how they can answer the charges of
corruption, incompetency and NAL
administration that have been
brought out and proven by the var
ious democratic investigating com
mittees.
Republican leaders realize that
this problem is going TO present ex-
ceptional difficulties by reason of the
fact that when the democrats start
ed to investigate those same repub-
Iicans shouted in derisiOn, declaring
there was nothing TO investigate; that
under republican rule the affairs of
government had been conducted in
the only perfect manner and that
the whole purpose Of the democrats
was to make political thunder.
That there was really need Of
some investigation in and around
washington was amply proven before
the inquiries into the results OF re-
publican rule had fairly started and
despite all the revelations Of extrav-
agance and NAL administration that
have come TO light, many OF the in
vestigatinE committees are just get
ting ready to go TO work. So far
they have only scratched the sur
face.
THE PURE FOOD EXPOSURE.
The Moss committee brought to
light the shameful manner in which
the plotters in the pure food bureau
had stripped DR.. Wiley Of all power,
and made a farce Of the law design
ed TO protect the public from the
greed Of unscrupulous food dopers.
The Stanley committee learned
that the steel trust for years paid

teacher and asked him if he would
take her out. He said he told them
No" as she had done him no harm.
He returned to Shady Bend, and when
he told Ed Ricord, the barber, about
the plans, Ricord said he would take
her out. He then told how he and
Delbert Kidelsparger held up the
buggy in which Ricord was driving
with the woman, at the point of a
