BIoodhounds.

A bloodhound is not much more dan
gerous than a French poodle. His flop
ears and wrinkled forehead give him
an appearance that does not invite in
timacy, but he cannot help his looks
and despite them Is sociable, good
natured dog He has not a keener
scent than any other member OF the
hound family. AS man chaser he is
a dismal failure. A crime has been
committed. the trail Of the criminal Is
warm, a pack Of the best bloodhounds
from the next county is turned loose,
etc. One may read something like this
every week. But one never reads OF
these bloodhounds really getting the
criminal at bay. If they tree a man
he Is the wrong man. No one ever
ought to be convicted on the testimony
of bloodhound. A bloodhound on the
trail of a criminal is just as apt as not
to trot up to the back porch of q gen.
tie old parson and wag his tail in &C.
stasy at sight Of ham bone.-Wash-
ington Star.

him. The affair from start to finish
has been regretted not only..by many
good citizens of Roanoke but by num-
bers OF others throughout the state.
It is unfortunate when the mayor OF
any city places himself at the mercy
of class OF people who are sure to
make the most of any indiscretion
they may be in position to urge against
him.
The outcome of this disgracefui
procedure should be sufficient warn
ing to all men holding official po-
sitions to keep their hands clean and
moi by any thoughtless act place
themselves in positions whereby they
are led captive at the will Of those
who have inveigled them in their nets.
The chief executive Of city should
above all others keep clear OF such pit,
falls.
The case OF Mayor Cutchin has attract
ed statewide attention and the outcome
of the sensational charges preferred
against him have been anticipated With
interest. This unfortunate blot has
come at time when certain men are
endeavorng to cast distrust OF pa, ty
representatives, and will of course, add
little stubble to the expiring flames
this class are endeavoring to fan into
life. Such things, however, will hap
pen occasionally, but the fact that
there are so few similar blots in the
Old Dominion makes the case OF the
unfortunate mayor of Roanoke the
more glaring. Mayor Cutchin is prob.
Is not the only official in the state
who at times acted disgracefully while
holding q public trust. but all who
aspire TO such positions should beware
of sycophants and others who fit
around with stilettos in their belts
ever ready to use them when a mar
is on a political down grade.

sponges such as we use for the bath.
And vet London has for its subso1l
only sponges, although we call them
f1ints. Once they grew as sponges 90
