The Story of Scotch.

Scotch was a short-nosed collie,
with a slight strain OF shepherd blood
and had a face that was exceptionally
expressive and pleasing. When grown
he was a trifie larger than the average
dog and was surprisingly agile and
powerful for his size. His coat was a
shaggy. silky black, with feet, tip or
tall, and breast OF pure white.
Talking to animals appears to make
them gentler and more responsive
Scotch never tired of listening to me
and l often talked to him as though
he were a child. He came to under
stand many Of the words used. II l
said Ratchet" he FASTENED to bring
it; il fire" he at once endeavored TO
discover where it was. CheerfulFy and
intelligently he tried to help me and
early became efficient In driving cat
tie, horses or burros. Instinctiyeiy he
was heller and with swift heel nips

to lazy or unwilling critters.-Couutry

How They Kept Their Word.

If you happened to be in the town
of Scituate and should see two men
engaged in an ordinary conversation,
with the exception that they were
standing back to back and looking di-
rectly away from each other, you
may be sure that they are the Itch
field brothers. And the wherefore Of
their strange relative positions origi-
mated many years ago, when both
were young and lived at home with

tual declaration that 81 don't never

their passion fraught resolution.-Bos-

"a Great Friend Of Mine"

Why is it that when people who are
rather superior or distinguished are
mentioned that phrase "a great friend
of mine" is attached to them? Turn
your thoughts to the best-bred people
you know the people in whose society
1t is a real privilege to be included;
do you notice how seldom they refer
to people whom you don't know?
After all, their intercourse is with you
and naturally well-bred people think
of the interests of those they talk to-,
and have no desire to drag in their
private affairs and friends for the
sake of forming an impressive picture
in their friends minds.

The Admiration of Men.
Men are great admirers of the
self-reliant, peerless woman who
goes after what she wants. She
impresses one with her sincerity
and honesty of purpose, and peo-
pie are always glad to lend her
their assistance.
In contrast, have you ever no
ticed the lack of interest displayed
by people in general toward the
"sit-at-home" who is always watt
ing for something to happen? She
will go through life with her mega
tive qualities and never accomplish
anything worth mentioning, while
the woman with the positive, act
i've temperament will get all the
good things in life. That's the
kind that win automobiles, pianos
and diamond rings.
The Outside Contestants.
The contestants outside of this
city seem to have awakened to the
fact that the Light and Enterprise
is offering them an honest oppor-
tunity to win the automobile, as
they are entering and calling for
coupon books.
Don't wait to see who is going
to be your competitor, to figure
your chances of winning. That
is too slow. Make your start at
once and lead the rest of the con-
testants who are sitting idly by
dreaming of winning while you are
out after the ballots. You can
win If you try. DO IT.

OLD FASHIONS FADING
FROM CAPITOL HALLS


Nations Lawmakers Forsake Pre-
cedent and Don Business Suit.
Washington, d. c., June ~
Summer has invaded the capitol
at last. The heavy clothing that
keeps the blood of the mighty
lawmakers from the chill blasts
of winter has disappeared, and the
wearer of the toga is now seen in
filmy fabrics, while the Panama
hat has replaced the tile, derby or
waving sombrero with which mem
bers were wont to adorn their
stately pates. And in addition
to their cool attire, the congress
men have ordered the electric fans
turned on, and are dispatching
hurried commands to the restau-
rants for cooling drinks.
There was a time when con-
gressional tradition commanded the
use of the old palm leaf fan as
the means of obtaining relief from
the heat; but in the last two or
three years there has been de-
parture from many of the old
presidents. The fact that the SEES.
sions of congress for the last sew
sral years have been extended
well into the summer has also had
much to do with this change.
The fans generally in use are of
the ceiling variety, such as one
sees in the summer hotels and
palm gardens throughout the coun-
try, and in addition there is an oc-
casional fan about the sides of the
legislative chambers. Despite
these innovations, however, some
of the older members still cling
to the palm leaf
When the hot weather is really
at it's height some strange combin-
ations of official raiment appear.
There are linens, crashes, home
spuns and alpacas in all degrees
of shade and color. Even here,
however, sticklers for fdrmality in
sist that the dignity of congress
demands that the members wear
conventional attire. These
no matter how hot 1t may be, will
be found at their desks with the
heavy frock coat of the traditional
statesman. This class is gradually
diminishing, however, and it is
predicted that the frock coat soon
will be a matter of history in
Washington summer dress.
In fact, there has developed un-
der the regime of Vice President
Sherman, in the senate, tendency
to do away with the conventional
Sherman, contrary to the stric
| precedent set by Vice Presiden
| Fairbanks formed the habit of pre-
siding over the senate in simp
business suit, warm or light,
, the weather might dictate. B
cause of this there has been
gradual departure from the str
formality of the senate as far
raiment is concerned.
d 1t Ia the appearance of lemonad
however, that is the most infall
, BILE sign that summer has come
the capitol to stay. This beverage
let it be known, is not of the or
| binary vintage, for, the congress
| sional throat, made dry and parch
ed by oratory, must have
special brand properly to lub-
rdcate and get 1t back in
to working order. This lemon
ade is a composition of sugar, lem
ons and appollinaris, and col
ored attache spends many hours
down in the catacombs of the cap
itol where the eyes of the curious
cannot penetrate and discover the
secrets of the connection, manu-
featuring it. Then, 1t is carefully
conveyed to the cloak rooms, where
other attaches keep close watch,
so that none but members may
partake of it.
