BIG ROW OVER A DOG.
Awarding Prize Upsets Chicago Col
ony in Paris.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, August 24.-The Chicago colony
in Paris is rent in twain by battle over
a dog The innocent cause of the war
is pretty poodle owned by Mrs. Ernest
Carter of Chicago. The poodle won
prize at the Lucerne dog show against
many competitors. Among the jurymen
who awarded the prizes was Ernest
Carter, husband of the owner Of the
poodle
Mr.. Carter knows all worth knowing
about pet dogs. and it did not take all
his eloquence to point out to Prince
Thurn and TaXis and other members OF
the Lucerne Kennel Club on the jury
that the poodle of Mrs. Carter had all
the canine qualities that entitled il to the
prize. True. many dogs were shown of
varied accomplishments. One dog played
bridge, another was expert in entertain
ing. another drank tea, but Mr.. Carter =
eloquence in favor of the Chicago dog
overcame every obstacle and the prize
went to Chicago.
Chicagoans In Paris learned that one
of the judges was the husband of the
owner Of the dog that won the prize. and
raised a great fuss. They said the whole
thing was irregular and the prize should
be given back. Doubtless the Chicago
dog was the best. but woman winning
a prize with her dog should not have a
husband on the jury.
Mrs. Carter. for consolation. received
the hearty congratulations of Prince
Coburg-Gotha.

AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW.
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
BY WALT MASON.

but he isn't happy unless he torturlns
some old tune that deserves better treat
ment.>
my Aunt Julia is sensible woman
| in many ways. She's the best house
keeper in seven states. and when IT
comes to scientific management she mas
them all faded. That woman has
bundle in the Rnk. and ten years ago
all respect her, she has so much horse
sense, and yet she's just as silly as the
rest of them when it comes to having a
good time. Her fayorite recreation Is
picnics. She's fiend for them. ~ she
hears of a picnic party being organized
anywhere within twenty miles she butts
in. and goes pirooting off to the woods
with a basket Of sandwiches and jug OF
lemonade.
| .eThen she comes back late at night
looking like the day after the earth
quake She's all covered with bee stings
and ant bites. and for three days the
house smells like an emergency hospital.
1t always rains when Aunt Jiiiia goes
to a picnic l don't care IL there has
been a drought for six weeks. the win
doWs of heaven are opened as soon as
my aunt gets into the woods, and you
ought to see her when she comes floating
home You'd think that woman of
her gifts would get wise to things but
she is q worse picnic fiend this year than
ever before.
.tOld Dan Cormorant's idea Of having
good time is to talk politics. He hash I
any convictions or principles or such
goods. He just argues for the sake of
hearing his jaws clackihg. No matter
what you say. he'll take the other side,
and talk until you turn the hose on him.
Only for that he's a fine old man. and
the woods will be full of his friends.
But he makes new enemies every day.
and Is up to his neck in trouble all the
time.
"Old Quakenbush can't be happy un-
less he's driving skittish horses. He was
500 years old the ed of June, and he
ought to be under his vine and fig tree
reading good books. but he goes travel
ing around behind his long-legged horses.
and every once in a while he has to be
taken to the dispensary to have his head
sewed up. / wonder why people can't
amuse themselves in sensile way
Probably because you talk to them
until their faculties are disordered," sug-
gested the professor.

PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
THE LEDGE" THAT COUNTS.

with wall pulley, horseback riding, or in
any other way), must keep at it certain
time six days of the week, and if that is
not possible. then three days of the week
or two at least They should be the
same days. and as nearly as possible the
identical hours should be selected. The
mind and muscles get into the habit OF
looking for this rhythmic repetition just
as a horse looks for his oats at given in
tervalS.
1t isn't what one feels any one day that
counts, because the regeneration Is be-
ing carried on a little at time. Sticking
to II regularly makes all the difference In
the world.
The business man or clerk or mechanic
need not try to gain real athletic edge
but should reach a certain point of per-
lection and then maintain It, Keeping 1t
up is very easy. The hard part comes in
acquisition.
Once you get the edge. hang on to it by
doing your exercises regularly. and after
a time 1t will be very simple matter to
be feeling fit and fine all the while.

l read a story one time about a must
clan who had been away from the piano
for three days. He was SO disguised with
his lack Of fine execution that he wept-
which was a waste OF good. salt tears.
In physical affairs. as in mental achieve
ments, it is practice that counts. And
there's one little governing phase that
makes things hard or easy.
Down deep. the cause that permits a
musician to get that velvety touch to his
rendition is the same as the syncopation
OF the athlete in action. 1t is reflex. and to
be efficient the act to be performed must
be taken away from the realm of conscious
thought. It must be buried in the back
brain somewhere. and when the auto
matte part is acquired half the battle is
won.
BY the time the mind gets the nerves
to doing the A. D. T. business correctly
the waste and useless material has been
carried away, and the fellow who has
progressed thus far is sparkling fine.
The edge of which athletes boast is
both this automatic part and the cleans
ing Of the body of needless wastes. so

CHURCH USED AS SALOON.
Chicago Property Has ''Dr. Jekyll
and Mr., Hyde' Existence.

CHICAGO. August 24.-It developed be-
fore the tax reviewing board here yester-
day that an old church has had a DIR.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde existence here for
the last seven years. and therefore the
city has received no taxes on the
property.
To make matters worse. the place has
been used as a dance hall and saloon
during most of the time. Each year the
reviewers have passed the property as
exempt because of its description to them
as church property
The truth was learned when persons
living in the neighborhood appeared be-
fore the board and complained Of the
place being nuisance. A Swedish sing
ing society which has had the lease was
ordered by the board to pay the seven
years back taxes.
