CANINE HUMOR.
Mere Marked In Monsrels Than In
DOGS With Pedierees.


generally find. writes a well known
English scientist. that mongrel dogs
when they happen to be sociable have
a keen sense of humor. An aristocratic'
dog with pedigree may have some
inherited smartness, but has no origi-
nality. A common yellow dog with no
ancestry to speak of. who has to gain
his living by bis wits, could give him
cards and spades at his own tricks in
two lessons.
Once l took into the house out of
pity mongrel yellow dog who insist
ed on Installing himself at my door
step and always came back, no matter
how often he was chased away. ! had
at that time a pedigreed water spaniel.
and l tried to teach him some tricks
when 1 took him out along n quiet road
at times. The yellow dog, who made
friends with him, always came along
and beat the water spaniel at his own
tricks without training. Then he be-
gan to play tricks of his own Oh the
spaniel. When he had bone he look
ed out for his comrade. and when he
saw him Looping along he would lay
the bone In his path and disappear,
The spaniel always made for the bone.

about to grab it. would dart from his

again. but the high bred spaniel never
tumbled to the joke.-New York World.

They Always Treat a Stranger With
Generous Hospitality.

They Always Treat a Stranger With
Generous Hospitality.
In Brittany all peasants carry their
own knives, and, as for forks, they
have no use for them. George Whar
ton Edwards tells in Brittany and the
Bretons" of a visit to an inn where he
met with the proverbial Breton hospi
,tality.
An old withered Breton woman sat
at the Preside busily knitting at a jer
sey Of blue wool. and three men sat at
table playing some sort Of game with
dominos. The men gave no apparent
heed to our entrance, but I knew we
were being discussed in their patois
We asked for bread, butter and a
pitcher Of cider. which was forthcom-
ing. but no knives were brought. Not
ing our predicament, the three men at
once produced their knives. immense
horn handled affairs. and after wiping
them very carefully and considerably
on their coat sleeves they opened and
proffered them to us.
And now. madame" said I. what
shall pay you:"
Five sous for the cider. msieur.
There is no charge for the bread, for is
not that the gift Of bon Dieu?"
Thus it is throughout this strange
land of Brittany. One may travel
from end to end away from the large
cities and everywhere meet with the
same hospitality. The peasant will
willingly share with you what he has
in the cupboard and will not ask for
pay.

lost upon the old Bretonne. who when
she caught my eye gave me a charm
ing courtesy and smiling "Merci,

reached its climax. There is every
prospect of the British Empire en-
joying another year of exceptional
prosperity. German activity has only
been temporarily impaired by the Bal
kan war. which has almost passed in
to history, and left the old time East
ern question in a much more settled
condition than within a generation.
The outlook in the United States
for the new year. all things consider
ed. is encouraging. Ii is possible. as
just said, that owing to tariff lgisla-
ton and to disturbing political asita-
ton the country may experience
temporary slowing down of business.
but this can not last indefinitely. The
country, generally speaking, is bare OF
merchandise. In no important depart
ment is there an oversupply. The
growth of population and development
of our home resources mean a resump-
ton of industrial activity at the first
opportunity. There are signs also
of our politicians taking notice that
too serious disturbances of business
will react upon their own future.
Governor Foss' remarks on Govern
ment ownership of railroads are not
assuring; bur that is problem that
will require much discussion before
action will be possible. No Govern
ment owned railroads compare in eff
ficency and cost with American rail
roads. which in spite of their errors
in management are the most efficient
and cheapest in the world. A little
experience with Government owner
ship would soon convince our people
of its fallacies.
The political outlook. though COM
plicated as usual. is really Frightening.

ton comes into power two months

"Arcade,"

On Wednesday and Thursday will be
shown "Harem Captives" a two reel
feature. The story is concerned with
the adventure Of two beautiful Ara
bian sisters, widely different in dispo-
sitions. They are kidnapped by tribe
of Nomads, are sold to a wealthy mer-
chant and accordingly enter his ha-
rem. An American and his servants af-
ter desperate struggle rescue them.
The glittering splendor of the tropics,
the gorgeous settings and the story of
mystery, make this one long to be re-
luembered by those who see it. Two
magnificent reels of intrigue, love and
adventure. An extra treat and surprise
for everyone will be to hear Mr.. Al
ErtZ of Cincinnati sing. He is a fun
maker, with a splendid voice, hence
an excellent entertainer.
