A praiseworthy part of the recent
bench show in London, England, was
a Hall of Brave Dogs" In which
every dog by its sagacity or valor had
saved life. That was fine. Almost
every community has dog that has
done a noble deed and so won his
blue ribbon, even tho he be the veri-
est mongrel. A mongrel negro in
the east part of Mexico the other day,
in broad daylight, carrying a gun,
shot down, without the least provo
cation, a mother dog belonging in the
neighborhood and which was caring
for a family of puppies. In this case,
which had the nobility, the man or
the dog? The negro had that de-
sire to kill something-that old hea-
thenish, barbarous spirit yet hang
ing to him.

wool at Paris, tells the Paris Appeal
that native wool will probably open

to the buyer. If all tags and for
eign matter were removed and the
wool put up in regulation square
feeces the factories would. allow
more and the local buyers could in
crease their price a bit. But, even
at 80 cents, the farmers will be ma
terially increasing their profits over
what they were some years ago, espe-
cially when lambs are at record
prices and being contracted at 8 cents
to cents in many places for June
