"If l knew how to go about 1t,
would have every dog In my store
tried before a Judge and jury for as
sault and battery" said the animal
dealer. Unless he was convicted and
executed I could get about three
prices for him.
Every time dog is hailed to court
on the charge of having bitten some
body | attend the trial and take part
In the reception the beast holds after
his acquittal A dog that has enough
class about him to precipitate a law
suit couldn't be bought for love or
money. but II his master wished to
sell him he could do SO dozen times
over before leaving the courtroom.
Even II 1t has been proved that
the dog does show his teeth once in

Ing a dog that has so much charac-
ter. Selling dogs being in my line, |
have studied up good many ways to
advertise but trial by jury is the best
way so far discovered"

The Kansas City Journals Oklaho-
ma City correspondent gives what
purports 70 be some inside facts about
Governor Cruces altitude toward the
owen-Haskell senatorial race that had
not hitherto reached the public. Ac-
cording to the Journal the governor is
daring both owen and Haskell to at
tack his administration and threatens
to defeat the man that does it. It is
not at all clear that the legislature

Owen will be democratic. The three

that the governor threatens to use

ANY BRIDE SATISFIED HIM
In india, When the Groom's First
Choice Baked, He Accepted
Volunteer.

The Youths Companion recounts a
story OF wedding described In DR..
Winifred Heston's "A Bluestocking in
India"
Yesterday went to native Chris
tian wedding Many guests had as
semhled and the ceremony had pro-
gressed to the point where Mr.. Grey
asked the bride:
Do you take this man to love,
cherish and obey?' when the young
woman in the case responded with a
surprising and unmistakable MOI
"Mr. Grey labored with her In an
undertone, but to no avail The mar
rage had, as usual, been arranged by
the parents without consulting the
daughter But 1t is almost an un-
known thing for girl to be SO bold
and disobedient The situation was
then explained to the assembled
guests, and volunteers were asked to
supply the vacancy. A young woman
promptly came forward and the cere-
mony proceeded as II nothing had
happened.
"Afterward the bridal pair left the
altar by different aisles to hold re-
ception under a tree, where congrat-
ulations and rice were poured upon
them. The groom placed silver ring
upon the great toe of the brides left
foot, and best man tied the groom's
neck scarf to the brides flowing gar
ment. and thus they sat in state for
some hours.

Tax paying time is upon US.

A fine law, Ell?
such a law could only have been
passed by a passel Of legislative NUT
ton-heads.
The people should be given at least
sixty days in which 70 rake and scrape
up enough to pay the first half Of their

But a partisan legislature says. dig
half in thirty days. 90 without food
If necessary but dig half. if you don't
dig half you must either pay all in
another 30 days or We viii conhscate

a cherished popular belief is that

drama and in fiction. while history

fore her execution. or that the deeds
and terrors OF st. Bartholomew night
blanched the hair Of Henry the
Fourth? Most Of lis have wondered
how the change could come about as
rapidly as tradition relates; and yet SO
universal Is the belief in this phenom-
enon that few have the hardihood to
doubt it. And now Sueda, a hard
headed German scientist boldly says
that 1t isn't so at all. This refractory
German first proves that such thing
couldn't possibly happen. and then
not satisfied. declares that it never
did happen. With equal disregard OF
folklore, history and medical htera
ture he points the finger Of doubt, and
challenges many long-deceased histor
ians and physicians to arise and prove
their stories.

Iona School Hours.

The Austrian minister has issued
4 decree denouncing the long hours
enforced in the schools of the empire,
amounting in some cases to 45 a week.
This would have seemed very mild
regime TO some old time pedagogues.
In Scotland, up to the middle of the
eighteenth century usual school hours
were from a. m till p. m, with
two breaks of an hour each. Some
schools opened an hour earlier and
worked SO long as daylight lasted. No
alteration in the hours was made on
Saturday, and even on Sunday GER
tain amount Of work was done The
holidays were restricted to a day at
Candlemass and at Whitsun and a
fortnight in the autumn.
