Old Times Down South.

Col. Tom Booker and Capt. Ton&
Miller, two old Confederates, pre-
scented at the Auditorium last night
the musical success of the seasons
The evenings entertainment, which
was entitled "Old Times Down
South" was made possible by the
assistance of Mr.. Polk Miller's old
Southern quartette of Virginia ne
groes, who "Look like farm hands
and sing like Caruso."
Capt. Miller, brother of the noted
Polk Miller, introduced the quar-
tette, saying that notes to these
performers looked like drunk mos
quitoes on a barbed wire. fences
And after the first number, tbs an
dience was, perhaps. better pleased
than If they had been attending q
grand opera. Col. Booker, who is
an excellent story teller, created
much amusement by his funny mar
ratives of the South. He also dis
played a very good voice, and proved
himself to be quite well acquainted
with the banjo.
Capt. Miller also possesses Won
derful voice, and his songs, which
he accompanied by violin, and
jokes, were highly appreciated. Col.
.Booker's rendition of 81 Am Going
Down Town." with banjo accompa,.
nirnent, was very good. The man
with the powerful bass voice sang
"The Old Sexton" which was one

pei aps, at its best. The Laugh
ing Song" by the fat man, created
much laughter in the house.
A few of the remaining Old Con-
federates were seated upon the
stage. and it is certain that they
enjoyed immensely the songs and
stories of the battlefield and tue
old plantations.

Paint

There are two good reasons for
painting often-enough or even too
often. One, to look prosperous; two,
to be so.
Nothing does one more credit or
gives one more credit than paint,
supplemented of course by what
goes with it,; and paint costs moth
ing.
True, the first cost is SIS or Sc
gallon put-on; but 1t saves more
than that in the property; saves 1t
from slow straightforward always
slow-it drops with jump when
water gets in on wood and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing
kept dry by paint.
Better paint when it needs 1t
Paint never goes-down in the sense
of being more profitable next year

DOG OWNERS ANXIOUS.
Action of Town Commissioners
ArOuses Storm of Protest.

The recent notice of the Towl
Commissioners to the effect tina
the Chief of Police had been giyel
instructions to enforce Ordinanc
No. q, regulating the tax on dogs
has caused CONSERVATION to many o
the owners of dogs within the cit,
limits of Cambridge.
The section of the Ordinance
which reads as follows: No dog
male or female, above three months
old, whether having around its neck
the number of the legally required
license or not. shall be permitted te
run at large within the corporate
limits of Cambridge. Every such
animal found running at large with
in said town shall be seized and de-
tanned in a suitable place for per-
iod of ninety-six hours, and II NOT
reclaimed, and all costs provided FOL
in the Ordinance paid, at the expt-
ration of the time named COS hours
after seizure) such dog shall be kill
ed by the Chief of Police, or some
one under his direction.
Many owners of dogs are claiming
that under the provisions of this
Ordinance the fact that they have
paid for a license gives their dogs
no greater protection than the dog
has upon which no license has been
paid. They also claim that the
keeping of the dogs up is more II
able to cause rabies than If the
dogs are permitted to run at large.
Those favoring the enforcement O
the Ordinance call attention to the
fact that this Ordinance is for the
protection of children and the pub
lie from the possibility of being
bitten by dogs running at large,and
that a dog with a license on its
neck is Just as liable to bite as one
without it.
It is reported that number OF
dogs were taken up yesterday, and
there is disposition upon the part
of some of the owners to make "a
test case they claiming that the
purchase of a license for a particu-
lar dog gives the owner of that
dog certain rights and privileges IN
connection with it, and that If they
were compelled to keep the dogs
within the limits of their own prop
erty, there should be no necessity
for the taking out of a license. i

necessary TO run a school at the
following rate: $40 per month for
a third grade teacher, $45 for a
second grade teacher and $50 for
a first grade teacher. The district
need not apply more than 40 cents

but can use the other % cents TO
improve the school interior, H.
brary, etc.
School patrons, talk these mat
tiers over in your annual school
meetings soon to be held.

The electric railway is the
most important business PROPOSE
ton that ever came before the
Mexico public, as we have often
remarked before. We cannot
think it will ever be allowed to
go to the junk pile. Why cannot
the road be saved and extended
without loss to the small stock
holders and bond subscribers
Many of these put their hard
earned means into it-no doubt in
many instances allowed them
selves to be overpersuaded in the
matter, so anxious were they to
see the project made a go-and
they can lily afford to lose their
investments. To settle with the
home people will create fine feel
ing, and we hope the receiver may
be able to find a purchaser who
will see the policy of holding this
good feeling.

QUALITY AND EQUALITY.

Did you ever see the owner OF
man S most faithful friend, the
dog, put said dog thru the usual
tricks of begging for his dinner9
Something like this: The man
holds a piece of meat high in the
air and commands, Beg, Frisk,
beg" Frisk Immediately begs
his best. The man says, make a
soldier, Frisk, " which means,
stand on two feet with forepaws
gracefully curved. Frisk pro-
ceeds to "make a soldier. " In
similar ways Frisk further is
"held up" his dinner put off, de-
ferred, postponed to the limit of
even dog endurance. When mas
ter is good and ready down comes
the meat to the highest jumping
distance of which the dog is-cap-
able, and after several Intellectual
leaps and bounds he finally
the meat. Then how he fearfully
gulps it down, knowing that the
next morsel is to be worked for in
just the same way.
The master loves the dog to be
sure. He has paid a price for him,
brags of his pedigree, houses and
feeds" him well, etc. Now
isn't that a familiar picture in
woman's request for equal citi-
zenship-especially in England
and maybe before the Missouri
Senate. Beg, woman, beg. Smash
