things that ever happened in ANNA!
breeding has just happened at MS
home. He owns a thoroughbred ter
rier dog nomed "Tootsie"-a real blue
FLOODED Bourbon in the dog society OF
this city. Now for twelve generations
back, Tootsie's ancestry have worn
their tails "bobbed." for In the best
canine society, be it known, bobbed
tails have been quite the style Tor
many years. A dogs bobbed tail. IKE
a mans dress suit. seems always to
have been the very height OF Paris
fashions.
Tootsie has just given birth to four
blue blooded puppies and OF this quar-
tet, three were actually born into the
world with bobbed tails. Tootsie IS
wonderfully proud Of her children, es-
pecially Of the three bobbed Infants
And the dogs have had many visitors
too, from dog fanciers who are at
loss to understand their peculiar birth.
The matter is being much discussed
and no one seems able to explain tho
phenomenon except on the theory that
Tootsie's family for twelve generations
back have all worn bob tails.

All grain shippers should .be5careful to
order no more cars than they are able

BLAME GIVEN
FOR TRAGEDY
OF THURSDAY

NEW YORK. July 6.-Second Gen
eral Passenger Agent Cullom of the
Lackawana railroad has issued an Of
fetal statement which placed the
blame for the disastrous wreck at
Corning Thursday on Engineer Viii
liam Schroeder. who was on the ex-
press train. The statement says that
Schroeder. who was "a years old and
who had been on the route % years,
had been on duty only one hour at the
time of the accident. The official in
vestigation developed the fact that
Schroeder passed at full speed a eau
ton signal. indicating that the excur-
sion train was in the next block. and
that he passed the home signal. which
stood at danger, five thousand feet be-
yond the first signal. before crashing
into the excursion train, which was $50
feet from the danger signal.
In addition to this Schroeder ran
past the flagman and the fuse which
was burning brilliantly.

Instructive Mimicry.

Why If one man on the street takes
out his watch do others do the same:
Among the very early instincts recos-
nized in the human mind are mimicry
and curiosity. Mimicry develops into
habit. as when we see many persons
walking faster than we do we grad
ually fall into their gait and in time
this faster gait becomes habitual with
us. Every instinct emanates from one
or the other Of the fundamental in
stincts. self preservation and race pres
ervation. Every action that benefits
the human being can be traced back to
the instinct of self preservation. and
among these actions are the acqnisi-
ton of know ledge. even the knowledge
of the time of day.
Instructive mimicry creates an i'm
pulse which III the case of the man
looking at his watch upon seeing an
other do the same. is supported by an
other instinct. curiosity. and by the
human faculty. reason. We therefore
follow the impulse and look at our
watch.-New York American.
