DOG CATCHING BIZ AeROPLANE.
A New Method Of Gathering in Stray
Dogs Proposed.

David Steinfield, who Is official dog
catcher for 10 towns in Essex, Union
and Morris counties, New Jersey, and
has amassed a small fortune from his
work, announced that he has awarded
a contract for q small aeroplane and a
large net for use in his work. He adds
that he will try it on the stray and un-
licensed dogs in Montclair first.
Steinfied has been hunting dogs SO
long in the three counties that the AMI
mails recognize him half a mile away
and rush for shelter long before he
gets within striking distance.
He has reprinted his wagon, put on
false wigs and whiskers and resorted
to other expedients in his efforts to
fool the unlicensed dogs, but without
avail. Now he says he Will try the
aeroplane-soar few feet above the
ground load his machine with fresh
beef bones, and then, after all the dogs
assemble beneath his machine. drop
the net over them and alight and sep

A PROFITABLE MONOPOLY.
Net Profits Of Almost 5000, 10000 i
100 Years.

on Dec. 90, 1910, a decree issued by the
Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte created
tobacco reggie and reserved to the ma
tional Government n monopoly of the i'm
portation, manufacture and sale of to-
bacco in all it's forms. Il was estimated
that the monopoly of tobacco might add
so, 100000 francs to the annual receipts
from taxation.
Although this prediction was not i'm
mediatelr fulfilled. it was more than
realized few years later, and III" rrv"-
nues from that source have continued 10
1 increase as the practice Of smoking grew
more general and the consumption of
, high grade cigars and cigarettes aug
| mented with the increased luxury of liv-
| ing and the constantly growing contin-
gent of foreigners who reside more or
less permanently in France.
From 1911 to 1914 the revenue from the
regie averaged 63. 900 90 francs 1912, ooO)
year. The receipts of 1859 were 4sl,V64.-
400 francs 1894, 003, 1927. The statistics for
| 1910 are not yet avai.auIe but from IN"
! fact that the tax in cigars. cigarettes
and the better qualities of tobacco was
| increased during the past summer by
about 20 per cent, it is expected that the
year recently ended will make 4 still
more opulent showing.
How much of the gross receipts of the
reggie are net profits. the excess over cost
of raw material. manufacture and main
tenance, is not made public. but 1t Is au-
,horitativelv stated that the aggregate
net profits derived by the French Govern
ment from the tobacco monopoly during
100 years 1911 to 1910, amounted to <2'2',
596, 900
Add to this the annual profit of sf3S', -o'
derived from the monopoly o. manuiac-
ture and sale of matches and II becomes
evident that the revenues which are d.
rived literally from smoke are among
the solid and reliable assets of the French

sustained while having her hair

blinded by the smoke and fame about
her, tried in vain to beat out the fire
with her hands. The hairdresser fell
back and rushed around in search of
something to stiffle the flames. Mrs.
Glib alone had sufficient presence of

was wearing and to throw it over her

Spain Is more republic in her ideals
than any other country In continental
Europe. Her history shows this to be
true. No country has SO fearlessly
handled her monarchs and passed
such antiroyal legislation inbued with
the spirit OF freedom. Yet, no country
has slipped from these ideals in such a
larrentabe manner. because. primarily,
OF the ficlileness of the national char
acter and the inefficiency of Spanish
political leaders.
When the dstardly attempt was
made on the life of Alfonso and his
queen after their marriage the people
began to worship their ruler. 1hey

OF the great Bourbons, and the youth

his cabinet officials soon realized that
the former weak and vacillating youth
really had ideals and that their meas

his kingdom. Above all, he abandoned
the puerilities which were not ONLY
