Canine etiquette.

In their relations one with another
dogs have keen sense Of etiquette.
Unless they are on very intimate terms
they take great pains never to brush
against or even touch one another.
For one dog to step over another IL a
dangerous breach of etiquette unless
they are special friends. 1t Is no I'M
common thing for two dogs to belong
to the same person and live In the
same house and yet never take the
slightest notice of each other. We
have spaniel so dignified that he Will
never permit another member OF the
dog family to pillow his head upon
him, but with the egotism of true
aristocrat he does not hesitate to make
use of the other dogs for that purpose.

Mo Cana. Eor Actors.

There is one profession that has al
ways refrained from carrying a walk
ing stick. The actor knows well that
on the stage he must walk without ex-
traneous support, and he knows that
the mere hint of walking stick in his
hand as he walks the streets Is q
temptation to lean this way or that
Actors, even when out Of job. never
lean on stick. They know that their
balanced walk is their asset II the
whole of society recurs to walking
sticks the actors will refrain.-London

PISTOL BATTLE WAS WACED
In True Wild West Style Masked
Bandit Terrorizcd Pullman Passen-
gers on w. 6 A. Train and Got
Away With $3.50.

Atlanta seems to get more thrills
and sensations than any other city in
Uncle Sans domain.
This time a regular 'wild and wool
ly vest hold-u up of a train occurs
only six miles from the limits of
Georgia's capital city.
A lone bandit, marked and carry
ing a big shooter, boarded the N. c..
& St. L. fast train, at Winnings, six
miles above Atlanta. The hold-up
man only worked one car, the last,
Pullman, but he succeeded in thor
oughly frightening the occupants Of
this car and got away with $3.50 in
loot from the men passengers of the
sleeper; the women he did not modest.
The men, it is charged against them,
proved "easy marks" for the bandit.
The hold-up mcn, however, did not
get away without an exciting pistol
duel. On the train was County Po-
liceman Heard, and when he learned
of what was going on, he went from
the chair car to the sleeper and Of
Tered battle to the hold-up man. He
was bravely assisted by Beverly Bar
mum, the negro train porter. The
two found the bandit on the rear of
the sleeper, after he had gone through
the car, crouching behind the fender
of the platform. An exchange Of
shots between the bandit and the Of
ficer and porter followed. After a
fusilade, the train began to slow up
and the robber, with a last shot at
the two men, who were pumping lead
at him, swung off the platform and
disappeared in the woods by the
track I

After the robbery was reported, the
train proceeded to Atlanta. The
county police took the trail at once
and in less than an hour arrested
John Nolan, suspect, and he was
confined in the Tower to await further |
action of the authorities.
1t is believed by many that the ban
dit had an accomplice waiting on the
road side, to whom he turned over
his loot. Nolan had only few dol
lars on him when arrested.

Ocean Tragedy.
Again the wonderful wireless has
been the means of snatching from the
seas greedy NAV the lives of 100
people, who were aboard the liner CO.
hequid, wrecked off the coast of Nova
Scotia.
The vessel was caught in fierce
winter storm, and, despite the efforts
of the captain and crew, was driven
on Trinity rock, where the noun
famous waves were breaking her to
pieces.
For day and night the Cohequid's
passengers and crew stared death in
the face and had about given up all
hope. Franctically, the wireless
operator flashed the rs. o. S." call
out into the stormy elements and at
last the appeal was heard and three
ships went to the assistance of the
distressed vessel. Just in time, too
for the ship was being pounded tc
pieces by the great waves which dash
ed her against the rocks.
All souls abroad were safely trans.
f"rred to the rescue ships and, car
ried to Yarmouth, N. s., where the,
were safely housed and given such at
tention as was required.
1t is regarded as ore Of the mos
notable reseues since the wonderful
Marconi system of wireless teleg
raphy came into use.
The vessel and its freightage will
probably be total loss, but this is o

WALL STREET FEELS THE WAR

New York, Sept. 9.-The Euro
pean war has played havoc in Wall
Street. That crooked thoroughfare.
with river at one end and "a Gene
terry at the other" is only a wrath
of its former self While it would
be an exaggeration to say that the
grass is growing in Wall Street,
there has been great difference in
the place since the stock exchange
closed a month ago.
People still pass frequently along
Broad and Wall streets, few men
stand idly in the open space at Broad
street and Exchange Place, and the
cabbies will browse on the stand be-
fore the stock exchange, but all is
not as it once was
There is lack of excitement, OF
hustle and business about Wall
street that never was known there
in the days of prosperity before the
war came. Not even in the days OF
1907 was there such stagnation
there
Nobody seems to he in a hurry.
There is no shouting and gesticula-
ton from windows, giving quota
tions and orders to waiting brokers
in the street. One receives the i'm
preston that the sidewalk pedestri-
ans are walking to kill time.
But now and then a man or wo-
man passes, by whose faces one can
tell they are people without jobs.
