Cousin, Lizzie: OlUnerS Sued

Everybody who ever heard of
Dobbin knows that he was the most
kind-hearted. patient and submissive
equine being the world has ever
known. And everybody who ever
heard Of Maud knows that she had
more power behind one OF her heal
thy kicks than any other mule In
either fact or fiction.
Well, Lizzie had a disposition that
was positively anything but like that
OF Brother Dobbin, and while Lizzie
was OF more aristocratic breed OF
equine than Maud. she made Maud
look like a wrist-slapper when "
came to the use of her rear propel-
lors. Lizzie was some kicker. and

inspection during the fiscal year ind

mails killed are slaughtered in es'

about 100,00O,000 meat animals are
no wbeing killed each year.
"Of the animals subjected TO
federal inspection 299,95S were con
demned as unfit for human use, and
GA ,6SS were condemned in part.
Thus little more than 1.5 per cent,
of all the animals inspected were
condemned either in whole or in
part These figures include only
cattle, calves, sheep, goats and
swine
tuberculosis was the chief cause
OF the eondemnations.- More than
1854 carcasses of cattle and $4,000
carcasses of swine were entirely re-
jected on account Of this disease,
and in addition parts OF $4,000 cat
tie and 100000 swine. Hog cholera
was responsible for the next largest
loss, nearly 102 900 swine being con
demned entirely on this account
The annual appropriation for the
federal meat inspection service is
now about $3,375.000, so that the
cost TO the people would be between
service was confined entirely to the
inspection OF the animals and car
casses. In addition, however. great
quantities of the meat and products
are reinspected. In this item ther

of products. Furthermore, 245,000,

A handkerchief in time saves nine.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.--It is in
deed an i'll wind that blows no good,
for it's the rawest, nastiest OF
winds which necessitates the handy
hanky: but who wouldn't have a
cold In the head just in order to
have one OF the stunning new hand

Time was when the exclusively
monogrammed handkerchief and the
ones embroidered with the whole
signature OF the possessor were not
into. Just the patrician proboscis
reveled In such exclusively marked
fine linen: and the signature hanky
was held solely TO the quiyering
nostrils OF the rich and high born.
This merry Christmas season has
revolutionized all this, however. A
hanky hand embroidered. with
facsimile OF the owners own dash
ing signature is now within the
reach OF all and every nose. For
30 cents you may have your full
name done In any color on a good
quality linen handkerchief
Naturally. the thicker you care TO

ity OF linen in your hanky will be.
