GREYHOUND THE OLDEST DOG
Breed Can Be Traced Back Thirteen
Centuries Before Beginning Of
the Christian Era.

The greyhound Of Altcar and the
Waterloo cup is the oldest domesti-
Gated dog, and can be traced back by
sculptures and frescoes for thirteen
centuries before the Christian era.
A fine group Of grayhounds fondling
each other at the British museum
must be more than two thousand
years old, and some of the dogs de-
picted in hunting scenes on the
Egyptian monuments are of the
greyhound type. Grayhounds have
been popular in England since King
Canute's time, but nobody but a
gentleman" OF a freeholder, was
allowed to keep them. Even so re-
Gently as 1858 a license to keep a
greyhound cost Sc, which was nearly
treble the tax imposed by the state
on other dogs.

UNRELIABLE TOMMY.

When the head of the household
came to dinner his wife confronted
him.
George" she said, 81 don't know
what we are going to do with Tom
my. He has been downtown all the

Tommy, 81 wasn't off tn sidewalk

WHEN GLADSTONE TOOK NIr
Great British Statesman Had Recourse
TO Refreshment When Max
Ing Speech.

! Gladstone's recourse to refresh
ment when speech-making is COM
mented on in John Bigelow's 'Ret-
rospections of an Active Life" In
1860, when Gladstone was installed
as lord rector Of Edinburgh univer-
sity, Bigelow notes that when he
rose to speak the statesman "took his
position by the desk, laid down a pile
of manuscript, pulled out of his
pocket a little flask with cork that
unscrewed and a false bottom that
made a cup, emptied something into
the cup, and then addressed himself
to the work of the day. He
spoke just an hour and a half, re-
freshing himself occasionally from
the little cup, which he preferred to
the tumblers standing beside him
for no reason that l can imagine ex-
cept that it did not betray the color
Of its contents. He evidently had
no confidence that his audience were
gentlemen enough to turn their
backs if he had filed a glass"

PEACOCK THRONE OF PERSIA
Magnificent and sumptuous Work OF
Art That Graees Audience Hall
Of the Shah.

The throne itself, which now
graces the audience hall of the Per-
sian shahan shah, or "king of kings"
is a magnificent work of art, sump-
tuous in the extreme. 1t is a jeweled
platform, sometimes compared to
"feld bed," about four feet high
and five by eight feet in area, rest
ing on six massive legs, with four
additional supports, and mounted by
double step. A heavy railing, dec
GRATED with metal knobs and finals,
emboxes the rug bedecked seat, and
rises at the rear TO form an elevated
back, against which the shah sits in
oriental fashion, supported by boil
ster cushion and surrounded by pill
lows. The rich incrustations of
jewels, the highly ornate character
of the lacquer work, and the delicacy
Of the traceries and arabesque de-
signs impart to the throne an exqui-
STIFFNESS of finish and beauty that is
quite its own.

SnAkEsPEARE's HERMooTHEs.

1t is generally understood that in
what he wrote in his play of the
Tempest" concerning the "Still-
vexed Bermoothes" Shakespeare
meant to refer to the Bermudas, or
Summer Isles" as they used to be
called. The Bermudas were discov-
cred in 1922, AZ years before the
great poet was born. Long before
he wrote the "Tempest"-his last
production-the knowledge Of the
delightful isles of the Western ocean
had had ample time in which to
spread over the old world.

KEOKUK WAITED
 FOR 50 YEARS
TO REALIZE BUILDING OF GlcAN TIC DAM ACROSS MlsslssiP-
 Pl RIVER FOR POWER.
Chief Promoter of 5000, GOO Enter prise Guest at the Majestic
 Hotel

Judge William M. Logan, of Keo- kuk, Ia. who Is making his fifteenta visit to Hot Springs, is now a guest at the Majestic hotel. and in an in serview gave some interesting facts relative to the building of the monster dan across the Mississippi River al his native city.
 This dam will produce horse power to the enormous total of 100000 and 1t will furnish electricity to the pub lie utilities of St. Louis for the next ninety-nine years.
 The dam is constructed just below the we'll known Des Moines Rapids, where for a distance of twelve miles the waterway is impossible for river boats. All river steamers must go through a government canal, winch runs parallel with the river. The dam itself will cost when completed in 1913 about one and a half million dollars, but the power plant in con- nection will cost twenty five million. The work was commenced one year ago this month. after some eleven years of promoting and many failures and the franchise given by the gov ernment requires that the entire structure be turned over to the gov- ernmeat when completed. In return payment for the construction, Uncle Sam has given the Mississippi River Power Company the privilege of us ing exclusively the water power for 1 the development of electric energy. The dam will stretch across the river total length of 4,700 feet, and there will be beside the river an enormous power house with twenty separate electric generating water | turbines. The fall of the water at this point will be from 21 to 39 feet, | giving all the energy needed to pro-
 duce the required horse power units.
 Just at the rear of the power house
 there will be a government canal with one lock, which will furnish passage
 for the Mississippi river boats of all sizes and tonnage. The boats will be let down a distance of forty feet from the lhigh to the low level.
 For fifty years the people of Keo- kuk have been agitating the building of monster dam across the river at their city, for the fall above Keokuk Is about two feet to the mile, where- as the fall from Keokuk down to New Orleans is only about four inch- es to the mile The dam will do away with the Des Moines Rapids for the resultant raising of the water level will create an immense lake above the city of Keokuk.
 This Keokuk dam is the largest arti ficial water power plant in the world and 1t will produce an annual say ing in coal of millions of dollars.
 Judge Logan has been the moving spirit in this enterprise for the past twelve years, and 1t is due to his personal efforts mostly that the tre- mendous difficulties of promoting it have all been solved The judge has been visitor at Hot Springs for the past twenty seven years, and he is a gentleman of wide information and much personal charm

desperate duelist in Europe, had in

been potent to create in him. OF all
mad conjectures imaginable the mad

his humor OF that hour. Eliminating
all else that had happened. In the
course of that short evening, his heart
had been stirred, his emotions played

lad then seen her Tor another who re-
narkably resembled herr for the scant-

nysteriously received a letter which
,ould. he believed, have been convey
I'd to him by no other hand but hers.
And now he was persuaded beyond
doubt that the person OF the alcove.
he eavesdropper for whose fair repute
he had chosen to risk his life. was no
vody in the world but that same one
woman.
But more than all else, perhaps, he
expected and feared to find the room
deserted: for the balcony outside the
windows afforded a means of escape
90 facile to be neglected by one who
wished not to be discovered. Z.
His first definite impression was Of
conformation and despair: for the
lights had been shut off in his alb
sence. Then quickly he discerned.
with eyes dazed by the change from

windows. waiting.

bow. With single motion he could
