ROUEN POLICE-D0G SHOW
High Efficiency of Animals and
Methods of Training.
Rouen, September IL.


Rouen was the first French town to or
ganize a service of police dogs, and the
first exhibition of these remarkable
"bow-wows" was held here seven years
ago. The Rouen Police Dog Show
which opens this week is the most In
structive and interesting so far held In
France. During seven years the special
training Of police dogs has made great
progress. The present exhibition teaches
that all kinds of powerful dogs are not
capable of being trained as police dogs
The animals must not only have the
necessary strength, agility, physique ana
ferocity. but must also be extremely in
tellIgent The big dogs of the Ulm
breed. huge "dogues' of Bordeaux and
gigantic Danes are Of no use whatever
as police dogs. They can be trained TO
great ferocity, but lack suppleness and
intelligence.
The race that unites the best qualities
for an ideal police dog is the French
sheepdog Of the Beauce region. The
breeds that have attained great success
as police dogs are the "groendendaels,'
Belgian and Malines sheepdogs, Dutch
sheepdogs, Scotch collies, German wolf
dogs. and, above all, the French sheep
dogs Of the Beauce and the Brie. There
are scores Of animals representing these
breeds in the present show which have
been educated and trained to remarkable
perfection.
The "groendendael" is long haired,
black animal with sharp pointed muz-
zle, straight, stiff ears and an ample.
flowing brush" His cOmpatriot. the
Ealms dog, is a lion colored animal,
with let black muzzle and short, wiry

Five hundred farmers, and as many
bankers, Congressman. United States
Senators and business men, represent
ing every cotton growing State In
America, declared in Convention to-
dav that the farmers cotton is worth
Is cents pound, and resolved that the
farmer should hold his cotton for that
price. The resolution followed COM
mittee report that the crop in America
would rot exceed Il, 100000 bales.
For financing The crop Of this year,
a resolution was adopted to the effect
that the farmer should deposit his cot
ton in a warehouse and use his receipt
as collateral until he could sell his cot
ton at not less than Is cents. Tnere

houses.
Declaring that organization among the

I'm Retrospect.

Seems to me the years 60 faster than
they did in times gone by;
When they used to creep at snail'space,
now they seem to fairly fly.
Weeks like days and days like hours,
and the clockhands fairly race
AS they make their daily journeys
round the old clocks solemn face.
Evening shadows eyer crowding on
the glowing lights Of dawn;
Mornings crimson ever breaking ere
the twilight gray is gone.
Yes, the sands of life run faster, run
along at rapid rate
When a fellows hair is graying and
he passes forty eight.
Forty-eight! And drawing closer to
the grim half century mark;
Silver sheen that shines SO clearly in
the hair once deeply dark;
Little crowsfeet slowly spreading,
deepening wrinkles DER the face
All proof that time is flying at a
swift, relentless pace.
Growing love OF peace and quiet in
the sweet confines cf home;
Gone the old unrest that led me in
days gone to widely ram.
So the changes cone upon me,
changes slow but growing great,
And realize the difference one can
feel at forty.eight.
Forty EIGHT. Mere years in number
what care how swift they 60?
Every one has brought me blessings
not all men can claim to know;
Love and home and happy children.
sweet companion by my side;
Creature comforts without number as
a.lown life's stream we glide.
And hear the ringing laughter of my
children as they play,
Feel the handclasp of life's comrade
as we pass along the way.
And thank God for my blessings,
thank Him for my rich estate
Home and love and happy children
young at heart at forty eight!

They Extend East and West For More
Than Thousand Miles.
Few persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan is by way Of Alaska. Nearly a
thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading with the orient by coasting
along the Aleutian islands rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian islands, which extend
in a chain east and west for more
than d thousand miles, are inhabited
by the remnant of the Aleuts. Their
war of the revolution closed just as
the American Revolutionary war be-
gan. So patriotic were the A1euts, so
brave in their struggle for independ-
ence, that they succumbed to the Rus
SLAMS only after a conflict Of nearly
fifty years, and then simply because
the race was almost exterminated in
the struggle.
While the Aleutian islands must
eventually form an important link In
the commerce between the United
States and the orient, other islands
link our country with the vast empire
to the north. In the narrow Boring
strait lie two little islands, one occu-
pied by Russia, the other by the Unit
ed States, so that citizens of the two
great nations live on respective islands
within a few miles of each other

MOURNING CUSTOMS.



Differ as to Their Origin.
The origin Of going into mourning
was discussed recently by a body OF
anthropologists. Some students hold
that the wearing Of black was orig
inally a disguise assumed as protec-
tionA from the dead persons spirit.
The idea was that the deceased was
naturally Disguised to find himself
dead and that, he wreaked his resent
ment upon his relations. Therefore
the relations thought that to alter
their appearance would be a means Of
escape, and all over the world wells
were used to hide the faces of mourn
ers-a practice still surviving in the
impenetrable veil of the widow.
The DISCUSSES mourners used such
as the veil, the turning of the clothes
inside out and the shaving of the head,
as practiced by the Amos were sim
pie enough, but supernatural beings
were always, it appeared, easy to
trick.
Another theory Of mourning was
that 1t was put ON to warn people that
its wearers had been contaminated by
death. There was an idea Of pollution
attached to the great mystery. All
early people shared the horror Of death
and the fear OF the return Of the spir-
its. Thus in the Sudan widows sprin-
kle their food with ashes to prevent
their husbands ghosts from eating it.
