SEEMS A POOR OCCUPATION
Demand for Female "kennel-Malds"
Said to Be the Latest In the
Old Country.

Ladies have been advised to take
up the profession Of "kennel-maid,"
but the latest development Of this oc-
cupation appears to be that Of "ca-
nine nurse" Reports from the old
country tell that there are actually
institutions for tanning ladies to be.
come nurses for dogs. They are
taught to study the different ailments
of the canine pets, and have to serve
an apprenticeship for at least twelve
months before they are qualified. A
good nurse can command a good sal
ary. Only recently a lady l.: Dublin
engaged one Of these canine nurses at
SIC week, besides paying travelling
expenses. At most dog shows in Eng
lard ore sees GIRLS in nI1rses, cos:
tunes attending the valuable animals
that are on exhibition. An advertise.
ment appeared in London journal
only few weeks ago Offering $500
per year and all found for qualified
kennel maid.

Az an owner Should Be.

Whilst it is each mans interest that
not only ease and convenience Of liv-
ing, but also wealth or surplus prod.
ucts should exist somewhere, 1t need
not be in his hands. Often 1t is very
undesirable to him. Goethe said we'll:
Nobody should be rich but those who
understand It." Some men are born
to own, and can animate all their
possessions. Others cannot; their
owning is not graceful-seems to be
compromise Of their character;
they seem to steal their own divi'
dends.. They should own who can ad'
minister, not they who hoard and con-
ceal; not they who. the great pro-
prietors they are. are only the great
er beggars, but they whose work
carves out work for more, opens a
path for all. For he is the rich man
In whom the people are rich; and ne
ia the poor man in whom the people
are poor.-Emerson.

LARGE REWARD FOR HONESTY
Entire Fortune of Eccentric Man Left
to Young Girl Who Withstooo
Temptation.

A wealthy man died in Brussels,
leaving nearly the whole of his fortune
to a young woman who was entirely
unacquainted with him.
He was very eccentric man, and
set out, like Diogenes, in search Of an
honest man. His tub" was an om-
nibus, and his lantern a small coin.
In the omnibus he took his seat near
the conductor, and always showed
himself very obliging, passing up the
money Of passengers and returning
the change, but to the latter he al
ways managed to add franc, or a
half-franc. Then he would watch
those to whom it came. They would
count it carefully; notice the extra
coin, and invariably slip it into their
pockets, No one thought Of the poor
conductor, whose meager salary Of
three francs q day could Ill spare
such a loss.
But at last q young woman passed
hers back with: Conductor, you have
given me half franc too much"
"Diogenes," delighted, followed her
home, made inquiries, and as the an
swers were satisfactory, made his
will in her favor, though he never gave
her warning that her half-franc was
going to bring her a million.

ENGLISH State Horses.

A curious interest attaches to the
creanrtuiored horses which draw the
state coach Of the sovereign on cere-
monial occasions. These ponies" as
they are called, represent the white
horse which was the standard Of the
ancient Saxons, and Is still preserved
in the royal shield Of the House Of
Hanover. by which it was reintroduced
into England. the famous white
horse carved on the slope Of Ellington
hill in Berkshire Is proof that it was
known to our Saxon ancestors, who
thus recorded their great victory over
the Danes. Who has not heard Of "The
Securing of the White Horse?"-Lon-

Sweet Angelina Did Not Give the
Sweet Response Henry So Ar.
IDENTIFY Expected.

Loves young dream is indeed a
beautiful thing. Sweet Angelina and
Henry thought it hardly possible such
bliss could be theirs as they sat on
the river bank in the cool Of an Aug
ust evening.
They met only at week.ends, for
he was a toiler in the city, and he
found it cheaper to lodge near his
work.
And now the blessed weekend
spent at home was here, and he could
see nothing but uninterrupted happi-
ness till Monday morning. He slipped
his arm round his sweetheart's waist.
"Dearest!" he said.
Her gaze was fixed on the water.
"Darling!" he murmured again,
drawing her towards him. Can you
guess why l come home every Satur-
day"
YES" was the scarcely whispered
answer
What is, It, dearest?" he asked,
anxiously waiting for the sweet re-
ply that he felt sure must be lowering
on those pretty lips.
"It's-it's for your clean clothes,
isn't it?" she queried softly.

Injustice, as the case may be, Is done
to the individual taxpayer according
to, whether or not, assessors obey the
law.
Taxes are supposed to be borne in
proportion to ones ability to pay and
under our law property is considered
the best evidence of such ability, and
so assessments are made to find out
how much of the fatal tax each prop
erty owner shall pay.
Suppose one man had visible prop.
erty, such as farm land and machinery
worth $4,000 and assessed as the law
requires, while another had invisible
property, worth just as much. Under
the practice of the past and in spite
of the law that taxes shall be equal
and uniform" the first man paid more
taxes than he should. Why? Because
the assessor found the land and tools
but usually has failed to find the in.
visible property of the second party
and the owner does not list it, as a
rule.
Again, If the assessor does his APP
praising according to some schedule
Of fixed values for each class of prop
erty, without regard to actual worth,
here is the result: one man owns twen-
ty head of grade cattle and his neigh
Dor has twenty head of full blood cat.
tie. While each mans assessment is
supposed to be the actual value of the
property, their assessments for cattle
have generally shown the same total
value. The reason for this injustice
being that the law has not been com
piled with.
The only exemptions allowed in this
state are: Real and personal property
of the United States, State, County and
Municipal Corporations, property used
exclusively for agricultural and hor,
ticultural societies, for school, re.
ligious, cemetery and charitable pur,
poses, and not to exceed $25 worth of
household furniture and provisions
for each individual.

TUESDAY is CIRCUS DAY

For Two Performances-350
Trained Animals

Tuesday will be circus day in Brook

Wild Animal Circus wkill give two
exhibitions here on that date. The
performances are given at 2 and s
o'clock and the glittering, mile-long
street parade at 10:30.
"The show that's different" is a
term which is generally applied to
the Barnes shows. In fact, the show is
an entirely new rinkle among tented
~amusements, standing forth unrivaled
as to the uniqueness, dignity and gen.
uine merit Of its program.
The Barnes show occupies its "dif-
ferent" position for the reason that
almost the entire entertainment is
given by a troupe of $50 trained wild
and domestic animals, and for another
reason that it is the largest trained
animal show in the world.
The animal actors with the show
represent almost every known species
and include trained lions, leopards,
tigers, pumas, jaugars, elephants,
camels. zebras, bears. ourangoutangs,
apes. monkeys, dogs, goats, horses.
ponies, etc.
The wild animal section and the
stunts these great beasts are put
through are of striking interest-thrill-

woman alone in a cage filled with a
dozen man-eating lions and leopards
