almost entirely to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt who in addition to deliy.

The delegates cheered Colonel
Roosevelt for more chan an hour
when he appeared suddenly and

fairly rang with the noise of the

Colonel s arrival. most of the dele

song ihat they would follow him

EIGHT KILLED BY THE POLICE
It Was Bloody Day in Phoe- nix for Canine Popula tion; Muzzles Scarce and It Is Urged Dogs Be Tied Up

The police yesterday cut eight more notches on the stock of the official rifle. representing that many addition al fatalities in the dog population. Three dogs were killed at one house the family requesting the slaughter as the only certain protection to the chil- dren. None of the dogs were mad but some were in evident i'll health or homeless wanderers and undesirable.
 In respect of the muZzling edict of the officials it is understood there are but few dog muzzles on sale in the city in view of the fact that the ordi- nance has not been enforced in recent years and the demand for muzZles has been small The suggestion is made by the chief of police that so far as possible the dogs be kept tied up for their presence on the street Is Objec- tionable until it is certain the hydro phobia danger is passed. So far as un- tagged dogs are concerned, restraint will be necessary or death will follow detection by the man with the gun.

ternoon the debate will go on in the fading light of day till members can hardly see one another's faces, and then the clerk of the house suddenly realizes that he cannot see the paper under his nose. He looks up and finds the house Wrapt in shadows He touches a bell; a servant comes in and receives the direction for the lights The light is turned on in the attic above the glass panels with the rendering of the red rose. It arrives in the house like a shower of rain on a summer night. First a faint tentative stirring, sOftening, a sponge in the face, then after that the deluge and the room below is drenched in a mellow doWnpour. The dark spaces beneath the galleries drink it up like thirsty lad The whole scene is refreshed. Strangers in the house look up into the roof and then they sit up and begin Q. more intelligent reading of the men and things be- Guardian.

a CRANK

Walters and cooks cling to the
 small things of their business as if
 they constituted a creed. If you sue ceed in having your own way it is only after an insistence that is gall ing.
 In the beginning of things it was decided to fashion the toast for two poached eggs by saving it into tri- angles A long time ago, also, one consumer, who likes poached eggs for breakfast decided upon a square piece of toast for each egg. An other determined act of independence | of his was to ask for German fried 1 potatoes without chopped parsley sprinkled on them and to request that his coffee be held in reserve until the
 eggs and potatoes were out of the 1 way.
 | The waiter in a restaurant recently adopted for it's early morning conven- fence looked dubious and departed,
 muttering and shaking his head. 1 There was a long coll quy in the kitchen, where the toast design has ever been a holy institution, while | chopped parsley has descended upon | German fried potatoes automatically.
 Still, the waiter did pretty well for 1 a starter He converted the cook to l the customers notion of toast but | this took so much time that the pota- | toes had been matched before he | could get around to them. Then. | slightly flustered. he brought the cOt- | fee along with the rest.
 The next morning he was two 1 thirds right and by the end of the 1 week he was faithful, even having the l foresight to bring two pieces of but | ter and have the check ready. Good fellow and all that he said
 to the proprietor regarding the GUS | toner. but an awful crank

GAS IN THE COMMONS

The system of lighting the House of Commons is under review, and members may be asked before long whether they would prefer electric light to the present use of gas. The actual fount of the illumination is not visible in the house; there is no chandelier. and none of those brackets against the wall which one sees in modern drawing rooms against the distempered walls. But the roof has d considerable space of thick ground glass panels set in a framework of brown beams, and each of the panels bears rendering of the English red rose. Above this glass there is a kind of attic, from which the lighting is done.

HOW THE CANDIDATES LAUGH
Characteristics Of Roosevelt, Taft and
 Wilson When Amused

Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson are fond of merriment. Taft is half the time in parOXysms of laughter; his eyelids half closed, his double chin quivers, and his body heaves; some times he is silently choked. and then a hearty laugh rings out
 Roosevelts laughter is soul searching performance convulsing his features while his voice rises to an inarticulate, falsetto scream. Wilson's laughter, no less hearty, is more con trolled. though it sometimes inter- feres with his speech.
 Wilson laughs aloud less readily than do his rivals, but he smiles much more than they do-the friend ly. pleased smile of the man Who likes clever words original turns Ol thought or expression, oddities and whimsicalities, and who always has an eye and ear open for a whisper of humOr or the bright eye of a passing conceit, while not averse from an occasional knockdown and dragout joke
 All three are jokers Taft likes his good and strong, and has plenty of friends-KnoX, for eXample-whO see that he gets them of that brand Wilson is the most confirmed and the liveliest story teller He is a rare impersonator. Gaunt and long limb ed, perfectly ready to give himself away in any skylarking that may be going on, Wilson. in his times of relaxation, makes a good imitation of a comedian He has a llnack for nonsense verse; while he takes great delight in delicate literary humor, he is far from scorning the Rabelaisian story.
 Roosevelt the most violent and vftuperative in his speech. never crosses the line of conventional mod esty. never utters a word that a young girl might not hear.-World's s Work Magazine.

EUCADoR's CALL FOR HELP

Ecuadors request to the United States for the service of Colonel Gorgas in cleaning up the city of Guayaquil. now a notorious center for the dissemination of yellow and maI- arial levers, is a deserved tribute to that officers distinguished achieve ments at the isthmus and in Cuba. but more than that, it is signifi- cant awakening of the government of Ecuador to the grave responsibilities resting upon it in the matter of san itation. Moreover, this call for help. on the eve of the opening of the Pan anna Canal, indicates one of the direc- tions in which the United States can perform it's functions as the police man of the Western Hemisphere" without arousing suspicion and dis trust
 Ecuador must know that it cannot expect to share in the commercial opportunities which are to follow the opening of the canal if it's chief port of entry remains a pest hole It's request, therefore, is prompted by the highest considerations of seIf-interest. The officials of Ecuador are fully aware that they lack those qualfca- tons of thoroughness and efficiency that are essential to the success of a scheme of sanitation like that which has banished yellow fever from Pan anna and made Cuba a health resort And they naturally turn to the auth orlty and to the individuals who have demonstrated their ability to over come the difficulties in the way of such an undertaking as that which they have in view. Whether Colonel Gorgas can be spared for this work has vet to be determined, but the United States could do no greater service to South America, to the com merce of the west coast and to hu- manity than by assisting every effort made by our Latin-American neigh bors in the direction of modern sani- tation. This is a cry for help thai cannot he disregarded
