EULoGY ON THE DOG
Famous Tribute Of Senator Vest te
Faithful Animal.

attnruI Aninats
Senator Vests eulogy on the faithful
dog has been printed in The Enquirer
before; but It has been a long while.
It appears again in the current issue OF
Commerce and Finance. edited by
Theodore H. Price, and Its production
in a paper Of that character suggests
that this may be very good time to
print 1t again, more especially for the
benefit Of people who are fond Of past
ing the choicest Of literary gems in
their scrap books. Here 1t Is:
Gentlemen Of the Jury: The best
friend a man has in the world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove un-
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good name,
may become traitors to their faith. The
money that a man has he may lose. 1t
flies away from him. perhaps when he
needs 1t most. A mans reputation may
be sacrificed In a moment Of Ill consid-
cred action. The people who are prone
to fall on their knees to do us honor
when success Is with us may be the
first to throw the stone Of malice when
failure settles in cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend
that man can have in this selfish world
the one that never deserts him, the
one that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous, is his dog. Gentlemen OF
the jury, a mans dog stands by him In
prosperity and in poverty, In health
and in sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground where the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives fiercely II
only he may be near his masters side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food
to offer, he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards the
sleep Of his pauper master as II he
were a prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces he
Is as constant in his love as the sun In
its journey through the heavens. II
fortune drives the master forth an out
cast in the world, friendless and home
less, the faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that Of accompanying
him to guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies; and when the last
scene Of all comes and death takes the
master in his embrace and his body Is
laid away in the cold ground, no mat
ter II all other friends pursue their way
there by his graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head between his
paws, his eyes sad but open In alert
watchfulness. faithful and true even to
DEATH"

AND WHERE IS TIPERARY?
British War Song Sung With consid

erabIe Swing.
Its a long way to Tipperary."
You have seen the expression many a
time since the European war began,
but perhaps you do not know just
what it means. Where is Tipperary,
anyway? A recent issue of the Lit
erary Digest gave interesting facts
about the song, informing US that the
place is in Ireland. A few quotations
from the publication named will be
interesting:
British soldier sings Of Tipperary,
the last place he thinks Of is some
place so named. in Ireland. He is
thinking of home. What Is there in
Tipperary that gets the song swing?
Is Is not the reflection Of national
character? Is it not just the gaiety
which takes the fighting as the days
work? and which looks beyond the
days work to the reward? A writer
in the New York Sun says: 1t has all
the requisites Of an immortal war song
"a free and swinging tilt, touch Of
humor, Of sentiment and a dash Of
rough and ready patriotism There
Is something peculiarly appropriate
about the tune. The French have had
it translated and are singing it as
they go to battle. Scotch High
landers, who probably never heard Of
Ireland's Tipperary, are playing 1t on
their bagpipes. Canadian reservists,
lonesome for the western forests, are
humming it. And native Bengalese
are grooming the little song through
their very white teeth as they shiver
their bayonets dry.
The words to the song the allies are
singing are as follows:
It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary.
Up to mighty London came an Irish
man one day,
AS the streets are paved with gold
sure ev'ryone was gay;
Singing songs Of Piccadilly, Strand
and Leicester Square,
Till Paddy got excited, then he
shouted to them there:-
Chorus.
Its long way to Tipperary,
It's long way to go;
It's long way to Pipperary,
To the sweetest girl | know!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell, Leicester Square,
It's a long way to Tipperary,
But my hearts right there!
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish
Molly o.,
Saying, Should you not receive it.,
write and let me know!
IF l make mistakes . in spelling
Molly dear" said he,
Remember it's the pen that's bad,
don't lay the blame on me-"
Molly wrote neat reply to Irish
Paddy O..
Saying, Mike Maloney wants to
marry me. and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or
you'll be to blame,
For love has fairly drove me silly
hoping you're the same!"

TO KILL
A T~himbleful of Salt To Each Plant
VIII Do the Business.

The best way to kill individual
dandelion plants is to cut off their
tops and put a pinch of salt, about a
thimbleful on the surface of each en-
posed root, according to practical di-
rections given out by the United
States department of agriculture in
the first of a series of articles on the
care of the lawn. This will kill most
of them. the report continues. As
salt If generally applied, ruins soil,
the salt should be used sparingly and
applied only to the root-tops OF the
dandelion. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has for some
time been testing various poisons to
discover the most efficient means of
Graduating this troublesome weed
from lawns. but although others have
been found satisfactory, the common
salt is best for general use as there is
no danger accompanying it's applica-
ton.
The departments specialists say
that much effort is wasted in merely
cutting off the dandelion top without
applying some poison to the roo that
remains. The dandelion has a tap
root that grows deep into the soil and

White SLAVERS
OPERATE In THE BLACK HILLS
NEW LAW SUG-
GESTED.

Lead, May 1S.-The departure
from this city under mysterious cir
cumstances of two girls not much
more than 16 years of age, with DEN
yer as their destination, has caused
the local authorities to conclude that
white slavers are operating in this
part of the Black Hills. The girls
departure vas reported to their par
ents by the ticket agent of the Bur
lington railroad, with the result that
the girls were taken from the train
at Custer and returned to their
homes in this city.
The authorities are now looking
for a smooth, well-dressed individual
who had been in the city several
days, and who disappeared shortly
before the two girls took a train and
attempted to make their way to Den
yer. 1t is believed the mysterious
stranger had something to do with
the attempted flight of the two girls.
and the officers are very anxious to
lay their hands on him. Whether OIL
not the girls have given the authors
ties any information concerning the
stranger is being withheld from the
public pending efforts to %apprehent
the man.
As an outgrowth of the purchase
of railroad tickets by the two girls
officers of the railway company il
this city have commenced an agita-
ton for the enactment by the next
legislature of a law prohibiting the
sale of railroad tickets to girls under
81 years of age unless they are ac.
companied by one or both parents, OF
have the written consent of one OF
both parents to purchase a ticket. Il
is believed the enactment of such
law in South Dakota would great,
hamper the work of the whit,

AS matters now stand, tickle
agents of railway companies canno
refuse TO sell minor boys and girl,
tickets, and therefore it is easy foI
boys and girls who wish to leay,

parents to purchase tickets to distan
points. The laws as they now ar,

ages the dandelion to come up in a
thicker growth.
The time to eradicate dandelions
is in the spring before the plant has
had time to form seed. The seed
spreads rapidly, blown by the wind.
The blossoms should be close mown
before they have gone to seed and
salt should then be applied to each
root. A man may be very diligent
in caring for his own lawn and yet
have seeds blown in from neighbor-
ing lawns. This is of such import
ance to those desiring fine lawns,
that it might be made a matter for
community action.

SAVING GRANITE ROCKS.
Steel Wires and Sand and Water Are

Stone Is still sawed by hand, even in
great cities. where the latest appliances
OF the mechanical art are to be found
Yet the mechanical saving of rock Is
at least sixteen centuries old and in
recent years has reached a stage Of
perfection.
The idea of using metal cord and
a mixture Of sand and water for saw
ing stone was patented by Eugene
Chevallier in France in 1854 His ap-
paratus. with scarcely any change. was
used not long ago in cutting a trench
through the Pont Neuf. in Paris.
The principle upon which the me-
chanical stone saw works is described
by Victor RaynOuard in La Science ct
la Vie as follows:
An endless rope composed of three
steel wires twisted together is set in
movement and draws with it a grind
ing granular substance. pressing this
hard upon the stone that is to be
sawed The mOrdant substance is grit
mixed with water. The stream of wa
ter renders the movement easy and
prevents the heating of the cable. The
ends of the cable are Joined by splic
