The first word Don speaks is
his name. Not much to that
about all you get is the vowel
sound. Then, at the command Of
Madame Haberland, he says
''haben," the German word for
shave" Here one wakes up to
the fact that Don really is differ
ent from all the other dogs in the
world-he says ''haben" distinct
1y, in two conjoined syllables. Not
two separated barks, such as any
dog might give vent to, when ex-
cited, but a fully connected bark,
so to speak, in which the vowel
sounds are plainly differentiated.
Then comes Don's most won
derful word, hunger" which
means the same as in English,
but is pronounced somewhat diff
ferently. Don speaks it so plain
1y that the effect on the human
listener is nothing less than
thrilling. The a." of course, is
lost. But the two vowels are
plain and distinct, and the "r" is
plainly audible.
Next don says 'kuchen"
Icake) and finally he speaks the
name of his mistress, Haberland.
Here, of course, the conjoining of
three syllables into one bark is
the remarkable thing. And Don
does it, without the shadow of
doubt.
Don is a big, smooth-haired
brown dog, 8 years old. Madame
Haberland has been exhibiting

THE REAL HEROES.

THE REAL HEROES.
That's an awful mess the Ros-
enthal murder has stirred up in
the New York police department,
BUT
The conduct of Chicago police
in bullying, browbeating union
newsboys and throwing them in
Jail without cause is fully as bad.
It would be hard to imagine
anything more cowardly and
brutal than big, strong policemen
helping millionaire publishers
fight newsboys who are doing
nothing worse than trying to earn
an honest living.
It's bad enough to try to reduce
to slavery grown pressmen and
stereotypers who are trying to
get enough to raise and educate
their families, BUT
It's darned sight worse to
mass the whole power of govern
ment in Chicago against news
boys.
In the present lockout and
strike the Chicago newsboys are
not only better American citizens
than the rich, powerful and cow
ardly publishers, but the boys are
real heroes. They are fighting for
principle-the rich publishers are
fighting for the dirty dollars.

Chicago. June 1s.-It is about as easy
to present the humorous aspect OF the
situation In which the Republican party
finds itself two days before its National
Convention as it would be to give an
amusing account Of Nero hddling while
Rome was burning. And yet, II must
have been funny to see the old codger
playing the violin while all that havoc
was being wrought around him. For
that matter there is a comical side to
every funeral
Here in Chicago there is quite a con-
flagration going on, but, instead of one
fiddler there are a dozen. Bill Barnes,
of New York, is fiddling. Crane Of Mas
sachusetts is fiddling. Senator Root is
fiddling Penrose is fddling. And Roose-
welt. himself, is playing the first violin.
In all the little committee rooms and at
all the conferences, and in the lobbies
of all the principal hotels the fiddling is
going on. And the Republican party is
burning.
In all political history there never be-
fore was a situation exactly like this.
In it's serious aspect it is enough to
make an onlooker weep TO see the ma
chinery of self-government working so
pathetlcslly. And, from a humorous
standpoint, the very situation itself is
so comical that to write a humorous ac-
count of It would be like attempting a
humorous account Of a Weber and Fields
burlesque.

They are attempting to renominate
Taft, President OF the United States, for
reelection to his ONCE. The very men
whom he has selected to superintend the
task seem to be absolutely devoid of
any enthusiasm in their work. They
are trying to nominate Roosevelt. and
the very men who are most ardent in
supporting him are afraid. Of him.
Either side is willing TO make every
sacrifice to defeat the ends Of the other.
And between the two the Republican
party may go hang.
