A Dog That Takes Saturday Nights Off.

In the August American Magazine
Will Irwin writes a wonderful true dog
story, entitled Togo, Mayor of Scitu-
ate" Togo is an astonishing dog living
in Scituate, Mass, where he is so well
known and liked that they call him the
mayor of the town In the following
passage, Mr. Irwin describes how Togo
spends his Saturday evenings and how
one Sunday morning he went TO church;
| Nothing short of a chain can keep
him away from any public function.
When the ladies of this or that church
give a sale. a strawberry festival, or
lawn sociable, Togo is the first guest to
arrive, the last to leave, and altogether
the life of the party. His own family
is Catholic; but he himself sheds his
broad tolerance even upon the Unitari-
ans. Is there a dance anywhere on his
beat? AT some time in the evening you
are sure to see him at the door, radiat-
ing delicate but majestic patronage on
the proceedings. Enjoy yourselves. my
children he seems to say. Does the life

Togo will usually superintend the pro-
ceedings.

A LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY.
Do You Know How Far East South
Americas West Coast Is?

Americas West Coast ls7
In his book, the Conquest of the
Tropics Frederick Upham Adams
calls attention to some little known
geographical facts:
Most of us picture Havana as nearly
south of New York, when in fact IL Is
about south of Detroit. A study of
a map of the new world discloses the
disconcerting fact that all of the west
coast of South America is east of De-
troit, and that most of 1t is hundreds
of miles east OF New York city. The
truth of the matter is that we should
call that continent Southeast Amer
lea"
| also made the astounding discov-
cry that a considerable portion OF
South America lies north of the south
erly sections of North America. When
we set sail from Colon for Santa Mar
ia, Colombia. we do not head south
or southeast, we point our prov north
east. This is almost as puzzling as the
other fact to the effect that Colon, the
port the supposed east
port, is twenty odd miles west of Pan
anna City, which is on the Pacific and
west end of the canal. II
is positively uncanny TO look out of
window of the Tivoli hotel, in Panama
City, and watch the sun rise squarely
put of the Pacific ocean, OF course
IN accurate map justifes the sun in
selecting the Pacific for rising rather
han setting purposes, but 1t never
seemed right or proper TO me. Oceans
ihould stay where they belong, and
he Pacific has no business to twist
tself to the east of Panama.

three inches and a length over all of
almost four feet. The giant melon was
sent to Mr.. Daniels by one of his home
friends, John A. McRae. The melon was
raised on the farm of another friend,
Edgar Byrum, and was the pride of

the visitors came back for second and
third helpings. The watermelon record
previously was held by Secretary Bryan,
who, earlier In the season, shared with
the newspapermen, Florida melon sent
him by a friend down there. But the
Bryan melon was a comparative pigmy,
