The Dogs of Flanders.

ROM Inc WIue NUrIu MasHZIHe
Dogs to the Flemish peasant are what
horses are to the American farmer. They
assist in many ways on the farm, pull.
the produce to market, and deliver the
milk from the dairy. Fortunately for
them their lives are contro'lea by consu-
tutional laws. which prohibit the whip
and the carrying Of human Ergo. Al
though this law does not always prevent
the lazy messenger boy from imposing on
his dumb companion, 1t will be seen that
the government endeavors to suppress
any attempt at cruelty. In appearance
they are a cross between mastin and
a Newfoundland dog. sturdy and intelli-
gent. To an Engl sh eye there Is no
more picturesque sight than couple Of
these beautiful animals. harnessed to
miniature cart laden with mix cans.

Make Their Presence Known.

After calling attention to the fact in
series of yells, that the Blue and Gray
team had shown the Army eleven some
thing. and that bicycle policemen are
good fellows, the parade serpentined its
way along the Avenue to l4th street \
railing that surrounded excavations
being made in the street proved too
much of a temptation to the cheerers
and another halt was called. The leaders
mounted the railing and few more
rah-rahs and locomotives We're given.
Several street cars were forced to stop
while the celebration at this point was
under way.
Proceeding from 18th street the parade
continued up the Avenue to 10Th street
and made a collective dash for the steps
of the Treasury building. Here every
thing that could he remembered of COL
lege yell and song was gone through with
and repeated several times. Hundreds of
| pedestrians, attracted by the unusual
| sight. lined the sidewalks surrounding the

ANOTHER VETO BY GOVERNOR
He Disapproved Bill to Allow Rail-
roads and Newspapers the Nat
uraI RIGHT to Barter.

ATLANTA, Ga.-When Governor
Smith affixed his veto to Senator
Felker's bill allowing newspapers
to exchange advertising FOR mileage
he established a record, at least with
in recent days, for disappearing i'm
portant measures. Four general
bills, the creation of a state auditor,
the w. and A. commission, an in
crease in fees for county surveyors
and the mileage exchange bill, all
came under the executive ban.
The mileage bill was the last, but
to the governor not the least. In
issuing a statement explaining his
action in sending the measure to
limbo and blasting the hopes of the
Georgia Weekly Press Association
he seems to have been unfavorable
to the measure from a matter of po-
litical doctrine.
The Felker measure, as it was
written, the governor held, would
have the effect of allowing the news
papers to accept free passes at the
hands of the railroad companies. AS
he phrases it, there is no limitation
upon the amount of transportation
that may be issued in exchange for
the most limited amount of adver-
Using"

ATLANTA-It developed yester-
day that the legislature, which ex-
hibted extreme water-wagOn symp-
toms in considering prohibition leg
isIation, forgot to pay its water bill
for the recent session.
The house adopted, by formal
resolution, a popular brand of spring
water for irrigation purposes; and of
the same consumed $40 worth.
When the bill against the house
appeared Thursday it was found that
no appropriation had been made to
meet it. 1t will have to lie on the
table until next year.
The collector for the water COM
pany sauntered into the governors
office and presented his bill in the
most cock-sure manner. The bill
came back to the collector with the
terrifying phrase, mo funds. -
scrawled across its face.

LOwIy Insect Found to Be VeritabIe
Wonder of Transformation.

LOwIy Insect Found to Be Verftable
Wonder of Transformation.
Hats off to the potato bug! Sa-
lutte the lowly Ieptinotarsa deem
lineata, for it is exceedingly great
among chrysomelid beetles.
The University of Chicago has rec
ognized our old friend of the gar
den as a contributor to the theory
of evolution and a cheerful martyr
to the cause of modern scientific re-
search.
Professor Tower, one of America s
leading authorities in biological
knowledge, has created new and
startling kinds of potato bugs in all
the popular shades, including the
modish pencil and pin stripes.
These results were obtained by
subjecting the germ plasm of lepti-
notarsa decemlineata to chemical
stimuli by crossing types under nat
ural conditions and in changed
environment.
In most cases the crossing pro-
duced permanent new forms, in some
of which profound changes of the
| physiological mechanism appeared.

LEGISLATURE WAS SO DRY THAT IT
FORGOT TO PAY ITS WATER BILL

Three reporters helped the faint
ing money-getter to the door and
before he went on his way whispered
some magic words in his ear. They
were these:
Now, buck up The state is on
the eve of a prohibition campaign,
and all the straddlers are taking
their positions on the fence. All
you have to do to be sure and get
your money is intimate that the wa
ter was used for 'chasers.' There are
plenty of hangers-on that will make
afidavits to that"
But this not all. The plutocrats
in the senate ordered lithia water
and everyone who came to the cap
itol went to the senate chamber and
took a swig. There was an awful
lot of it consumed there. The Ben
Scott Lithia Water Company have
not appeared with the senate bill.
