NO LICENSE NECESSARY.

II once a man keeps a dog and
takes out a license the authorities
appear to regard him as liable to
pay the tax for the rest of his natu-
raj life. Consequently it is no un-
usual occurrence for a householder
who, at some remote time, was the
owner of dog, to receive early in
the year a somewhat curt note from
the local excise officer reminding
him that he has not renewed his
permit
A friend of the writer once re-
ceived an official communication re-
questing his early attention to the
fact that his dog license 'fhad ex-

LOVER OF The SIMPLE LIFE
Marquis komura, Great japanese
Statesman, Remarkable for Die
like Of OstentatIon.

The late Marquis Komura was fa-
nous for his bohemian habits. He
had little thought for his personal
comfort. Not till the conclusion Of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance did he
posses a residence Of his own. But
when he was given a large sum of
money by the emperor after the
contamination Of the alliance he had
a new residence built at Harsma-
chi. Never once during the building
Of the house, nor for a long time
after it was built, did he visit his
new property. He lived exclusively
in the official residence, going to the
Imperial hotel for his meals.
One evening, however, he took
long walk, in the course of which he
fancied he would make a visit to his
new residence. He walked about
Haramachi in quest of his new house
but could not find it until he in
quired at a police box.-Yokohama

are scores Of others which have

from deception

his character would at one time
have been reached il Labby could
have been seen patiently rowing .

black eyes and expression and even
speech were such a startling repro

face bore a positively weird resem-

THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.
Judge Stevens Organizing Iowa, Con
ventiCn Here Saturday and at
Des Moines July 2ith.

The movement for the organiza-
ton of the third party in Iowa, in
charge OF Judge Stevens of Boone,
seems to be we'll under way, and a
call has been issued for state con-
vention to be held at Des Moines on
July oath, which will elect delegates
TO the convention at Chicago Aug
ust 9TH, which will organize the par
ty and nominate a national ticket,
with Roosevelt at the head. The
call sent out calls for mass county
conventions on next Saturday, July
goth, to select delegates to the state
convention. Thus far no one seems
to want to be listed as sponsor for
the movement in this county, but
doubtless some OF the more enthus-
iastic supporters will look after Sat
urdays convention.

LORINIER LOSES SEAT.
United States Senate Declares Him
Not Legally Elected to that
Body.

BY a vote of 80 to 2S the senate
on Saturday unseated William Lori
mer, junior senator from Illinois and
declared his title to the seat invalid.
The end of the long fight to oust
the senator came after six days OF
protracted debate in which Lorimer
himself occupied the floor for three
sessions, making an impassioned
speech in defense of his election.
The final vote was upon resolu-
tion of Senator Lea, of Tennessee,
declaring the election of Lorimer by
the Illinois legislature in 1909 TO be
invalid.
The closing moments of the trial
were intensely dramatic, Lorimer
holding the floor and making a last
defense of his election, declaring he
did not appeal for the votes of any
senator but asked for justice.

Butternilk.

Only few years ago the chickens
and the pigs got most of the resi-
dunn of churning. They get very
little of it now, for the wise men OF
the hospitals have educated the peo-
pie to a knowledge of its value. Not
oaly in cases of serious stomach
ailment, but for all persons Of feeble
or impaired digestion. buttermilk is
now esteemed a boon. The once de-
spised by-product ranks with sweet
milk, and outranks it both with those
who find it palatable and crave 1t,
and with those for whom it is medi-
cinally prescribed.
The taste for buttermilk is mostly
acquired, but once one gets the habit
il grows and sticks. Back OF the de-
yeloped fondness, for the cold, tart,
acid beverage is the agreeable cons
ciousless that the drink, with the
case in principal of milk eliminated,
is food salutary, wholesome and
easily digested. and that the more
one imbibes of ii so much the better.
Recent years have witnessed an en-
ormous increase in the consumption
of buttermilk. Department stores
serve il with crackers; most saloons
are compelled to keep it on tap, and
many report gratifying preference
for it on the part of their patrons
over beer
Great is buttermilk, indeed a nu-
tritious food, cooling summer
drink
