IOWA AND DOGS.

Iowa is generally recognized as a
ons for this is contained in the re-
mark of L. c. Perkins, a fancier, who
declared, in an interview: Iowa is
the poorest state in the union for
dogs"
Further along, however, he spoiled
the matter by adding: People in
Iowa do not seem to be educated up
to biooded stock as yet. Anything
out here that wags tail is consider
ed dog and people seem to be salts
| fed with it, ! don't mean to say that
there are no blooded dogs in Iowa.
Far from it, but the interest in dogs
is not so strong as in other states and
less of them are sold.
The east is the strongest place for
blooded dogs. | send great many
dogs west and southwest.
! Even hunting dogs are very scarce
in Iowa. You see very few bird dogs
of any kind around the city and this
is true of practically the entire state
The dog population is relatively as
large as in any other state, but the
stock runs to mongrels and ours. A
large share of the blooded dogs you
see is of the parlor and dress parade
variety. Fremont, Neb., is the best
dog town in the west"

PENSIONS FOR EMPLOYEES.

Ten million dollars will be apprO-
priated on Jan. l, 1913, by the assQ
ciated interests controlling the Bell
telephone system, the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Western
Electric Company. as a permanent
pension fund for their $4,000 en-
ployes. Including the dependents of
these workers, 25O,000 persons will!
be in line for benefits.
Sick benefits and life insurance will
be provided out of this fund, as well
as payments to veteran employees
whose years of service shall entitle
them to retirement on pay sufficient
Ito care for the needs of their old age.
Annual appropriations from the
TREASURES of the allied companies
will keep this fund up to the so ,00O,-
600 mark, and it will be administered
solely in the interests of the indus
trial army serving the three concerns,
an army more than twice as large as
the standing military force of the
United States.
The terms by which provision is
made for the needs of age. Illness,
accident and death are as follows:
Male employees who have reached
the age of so years and who have
been twenty years or more in ser
vice may retire on pensions. They
may be retired at the option of the
company when they have reached
the age of So years and have been
twenty-five years or more in service.
The pension age of female employees
is in each case five years younger
than that of male employees. Any
employe who has been thirty years
in service, regardless of age, may be
pensioned on the approval of the
president of the company
| The amount of the pension is auto,
imatically based on the years of ser,
vice and the amount of pay and will
be | per cent of the average annual
pay for ten years, multiplied by the
number of years of service There
fore, man who had been thirty years
in service would get 30 per cent OF
the average salary which he had beer
receiving during his last ten years
of service. No pension will be less
than 500 a month.
This is surely splendid move from
a humanitarian standpoint, and adds
further evidence to the fact that not
all great corporations are soulless
II will also have beneficial effect in
the operation of business, inducing
lemployes to be more faithful and
steady.

STREET PAVING

George Fitch makes serious com
lment on local conditions in one of his
recent Vest Pocket Essays" The
truth of the suggestions is second
only to his humorous way of express
ing the ideas. He, says:
"A pavement is q brick roof over
a mud puddle Sometimes it is made
out of asphalt! but then it usually
isn't pavement is a scandal.
"Pavements are laid in order that
teams may drive over the street with
out getting into the mud up to the
drivers necks. They also enable
automobiles to travel with greater ra-
pidity. A good automobile with a
bad chauffeur can travel over a fair
pavement at rate of seventy miles
an hour. People having children and
wishing to retain them intact should
live on street with very bad
pavement.
Pavement is laid by contractors,
and costs the property owners about
81 a front foot if the city government
has been cleaned up recently. There
are few things in life more irritating
than to sit on ones front porch and
watch the automobiles fit merrily
over your brand new pavement for
which you have just paid 5000 by the
simple process of walking in order to
save car fare. .s..... e.. ST.
at takes about week to lay a
block of pavement. After that it
takes about week to yank strip
of it up to lay a water main and an.
other month to take it up and pile it
on the curbing while the street car
line is being revamped and another
month to dig n trench through il to
install new sewer, and almost three
months to slice it up here and there
for water connections, gas pipes,
Iconduits, mail tubes and steam con
INJECTIONS. After a pavement has been
taken up and laid down for about
six months it generally gives up as
"a pavement and starts in business as
la steeple chase course.
Pavement would last twenty
years if honestly laid by men who
will go to heaven when they die
But most pavements last about five

is not without its element of justifica-
ton" observes The Churchman of
New York. The recent career of
the negro pugilist does not make ele-
waiting reading, and it is not neces-
sary to swallow whole the dictum of
newspaper editors that because pub
licity deters crime ipso facto it is their
duty to retail every scandal touching
every well-knOwn person, the more de-
tails the better. As for the other sup
pressed news, war is still what Gen
eral Sherman 5alu it was, blood and
carnage and revolt are painfully pre-
imillennial; yet one scarcely can fancy
the women OF hutchinson burning
copies of Carlyle's French Revolu-
ltion,' refusing to read any history of
the Civil War, or even expunging from
the Bible considerable part of the
Old Testament, however much they
might deplore the occurrence therein
set forth
THE American newspaper is very
human institution Some are consist
ent in their ideals; some are Janus
faced, and make show on the elitor-
! ial page of offsetting the appetites
they create and ponder to on other
pages; few are without ideals, real
or pretended. The newspaper, how
ever, is in no sense philanthropic. 1t
Is engaged in the business of selling
news to nation which is as insatiate
as the daughters Of the horse-leech
and loves shining mark no, less than
Death. Who looks for the news col
umns to eunoble national ideals in
dulges in folly. When more men and
women, like the women OF Hutchin
son, care less for vulgar stories such
as that of Johnson, when they demand
better things, q more dignified handing
OF more dignitied subject-matter, a
higher order OF humor, a greater de-
gree OF accuracy, they will get them.
The newspaper In its worst phase Is
only stimulating public taste at yil-
nerable point and printing what most
OF It's readers want"

DESPAIR.

met maid in deep despair;
I'll tell you all about it.
1t seemed she lost some jewel rare,
And could not live without it.
Her graceful form was lite and slim,
Her gown was quite in keeping;
i wondered if her eyes We're dim
From broken-hearted weeping.
She fingered there on Bonded knee,
As If in silence praying;
] paused to learn if such could be,
And heard her softly saying:
"No picture show for me tonight,
This surely is a pickle:
oh. Geraldine, turn on the light,
And help me find this nickel"
