A VERY MUCH-TRAVELED DOG
Russian Woifhound Has Circled tbs
Globe Wien Owner Montsom-
cry Schuyler.

New York.-One of the most trav
eled dogs in the world is the Russian
wolfhound owned by Montgomery
Schuyler. United States minister TO
Ecuador. South America. This dog
was born in St. Petersburg and was
obtained there while his now owner
was attached TO this country's EN-
bassy in the MusCovite capital. The
dog moved from embassy to embassy
and from legation to legation with
MIR. Schuyler in Europe and then
crossing Asia both man and dog found
themselves in Japan.
From the land of the chrysanthe-
mum the Russian dog again came east.
and in America has been greatly ad-
mired from coast to coast. His name.
ownership and particulars in refer
ence to him were engraved on the
dogs collar in Oriental and OcCident-

A STRANGE FREAK OF HENS
Large Flock of Swimming Fowls Are
the Attraction In Massachu-
sets Town.

Athol, Mass.-Several Athol resi-
dents have made trips to Templeton
to the farm owned by Charles F. May
nard, where there is flock of swim
ming hens. Mr.. Maynard has a pond
near his home where the hens swim
about with all the grace and abandon
of ordinary ducks.
About week ago the hens were
feeding about the edge of the pond
and had found rich crop of bugs and
water insects. At last one hen saw
some fat bugs on a lily pad, near
shore. and after wading out short
distance made a dive for them Mr.
Maynard expected to see biddy go un-
der. but she swan about like a life
saver. The other hens did not enjoy
her monopoly of the bug market. and
one after another they darted in and
seemed to enjoy the situation. The
hens now go to the pond often for a
feast of water insects.

to Swallow Bichloride Of
Mercury.

Cumberland, Md.-Mrs. Lydia Fury,
forty-seven years old. widow of Co
lumbus w. Fury, was taken to the
Western Maryland hospital in critic
al condition. having swallowed three
bichloride of mercury tablets. She
failed to get her four-year-old son
George to join her in the suicidal at
tempt. 1t seemed to have been her in
tention to take the child with her.
Dependency over the separation
from her children, two of whom, Will
liam, fifteen years old, and John,
twelve years old, are at st. Marys
Industrial school, Baltimore, is believ-
ed to have prompted the attempt at
self-destructOn.
Mrs. Eurys family had been broken
up since the death of her husband,
more than year ago, and she was
tired OF life. With the son she was
living at the home of J. r. Yost, 3l6
Race street as housekeeper. The lit
tie boy told Pnkey Fury, his uncle
that his mother endeayored to have
him swallow one Of the tablets, but
that he refused and fed down the
stairs after he mad seen his mother
take three.
Mrs. Fury later became very III and
admitted to Mrs. Yost that she had
taken poison. Several hours elapsed
before a physician arrived. He took
prompt measures to counteract the
poison, and, because the woman took
an overdose, he thinks there Ia a
chance for her recovery.

KANSAS Is RESPONDING.
Nearly 5000 Boys and Girls in *. S. A.
C. Agricultural Contest.

Manhattan, Kan, May 9.-NOt less
than 1000 or 5000 boys and girls in
Kansas will enter the agricultural con-
tests conducted by the Kansas Agricul-
tural college this year. 1t will be a
record year for this work. Atchison
county has just sent in a list of 314
who have entered corn and home
economics contests this spring. Lyon
county reported about the same num-
Der a short time ago. c. d. Steiner,
in charge of the work for the Agricul-
tural college, believes that Kansas will
set an example to other states this
year of how it really pays to get the
boys and girls on the farms interested
in their work.
1--WE could have had 5, 600 more boys
and girls enrolled in these contests but
for a delay in the printing of our bull
letins outlining our plans for this
work." said Mr.. Steiner this morning.
1.-The manuscript for this bulletin went
to the state printer January IA and the
printed copies should have been out
within a month or six weeks at the
most. Everything has been done by
the college to get this pamphlet
through. Not a single copy has been
received. The pamphlet contained all
the rules and suggestions for carrying
on clubs and contests in 1913, and the
failure to publish them has led to the
abandonment of this work in many
places. In spite of this handicap we
hope to have a record year in this
work"

TO PALE THIN PEOPLE
Druggist StansfieId Offers to Pay for
Samose If 1t Does Not Make
Thin People Fat.

Pale. thin people are simply suffer-
ing from want of nouriShment. They
may eat enough. but their food is not
properly digested and does them no
good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale, weak and thin. 1t mingles
with the food and aids assimilation, so
that when taken for a short tim ;, ma
ture will soon assert her normal pow
ers, and the food that is eaten will give
strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use SamoSe. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh will find his de-
Sires accomplished by SamoSe.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of SAmose that Drug
gist Stansfield, 632 Kansas avenue, is
willing to pay for the treatment if it
does not give the desired results. He
makes this offer generally and wants
all who are thin, weak and out of
health to get a box of Samose from
him on those terms.-Adv.

Golden Missouri Apples

Fulton eMo) Dispatch to New York
American.
In little old New York this winter cer-
tain people will pay 40 cents apiece for
Missouri apples.
a. T. Nelson & Son, who own fine
orchard near Lebanon, have arranged for
special marketing OF their fruit to the
leading New York restaurants. They
have contracted to sell 1000 boxes of l2
apples each for so cents a box at Leba-
non. The commission man has set the
price of the individual box packed apples
at 40 cents each and the fancy family
box at 81, which is 1-3 cents for the APP
pie, with the pasteboard boz thrown in.
Each apple for the individual box pack
must have at least two perfect leaves at
tached to tho stem. Young women with
tree and place them on a cloth-covered
table for inspection. If any of the leaves
fall from the stem or the apple is not
perfect in color, conformation, size and
condition 1t is thrown out
Apples which pass muster are dipped
in d solution which closes the pores of
the apple and leaves, causing the apple
20 retain its original flavor and the leaves
to keep their natural color.
After the solution has dried the apples
are carefully packed in soft tissue paper.
Each apple must be three and a half
inches in diameter and not more than a
quarter of an inch larger.

panies when the supreme court ruled the
dissolution of the trust more than a year
ago. A portion of the other 60 per cent
has already been collected and paid over
to stockholders in the original trust. AL
though these divisional companies have
liquidated the big end of Indebtedness OF
800, 100000 they have been able to ac-
cumulate additional profits sufficient TO
give their stocks an aggregate value Of
about double that represented by the quo

Judgment under the cover OF connden-
tial" For instance, two of the most ac-
tive members of Kuhn, Loeb 81 Co. hold
directly opposite views, one declaring with
great vlgor that the United States Is on
the verge of extraordinary prosperity,
while the senior member Of the concern
is not so certain of the correctness OF his

For one thing the money situation is
not exactly what the bankers have been
expecting The flow of currency from the
interior has been smaller than anticipated.
The total since the first OF the year has
been in the nelghbornood OF s6o00A0o0,
against about $S5.00o,00o during the cor
no espondng period of last year. At the
same time there has been going on a
fairly steady outward flow Of gold, al
ready amounting to above $50, 100000, and
n prospect Of Si0,Do0,0o0 before the export
rnoyement ceases This has cut down the
st,pply of cash enough to be felt. The
explanation of the decreased inflow of cur
rency from the interior is that local de-
mands for business expansion Have cre-
ated a market at home for the loanable
surplus in the banks near at hand. If
this latter Is the correct reason then we
are likely to see an advance in interest
rates all over the country, and also an
other excuse for not having money to
