Cats and Dogs.

II any man knows why there should
be q tax on dogs and none on cats, let
him step forward and explain. Cats
spread disease thousand times worse
than dogs. Cats climb trees and catch
birds, while even bird dog will do no
worse than point toward them. Cats
bite as often as dogs and they scratch
great deal more frequently. A black
cat crossing your path is bad luck. and
you never give a black dog second
thought. There is no reason why dogs
should be Disseminated against. If
there is to be law imposing tax on
dogs, there should be an amendment
that will include cats from the time
their eyes are open until they give up
the last Of their nine lives.-Columbus

SLEEP AS THEY MARCH ALONG
Soldiers and Horses In Civil War
sIumber ~ They Tramp
Along Road.

Soldiers remember how they and
their horses used to sleep as they
marched along, Erasmus Wilson
writes In the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times. Strange as Il may seem this
was often the case. There seemed to
be no trouble In performing the me-
chanical part Of walking. but there
was a tendency to wander Off the road.
For this reason sleepers had to be
guided or led by someone who was
awake.
The time Kirby Smith chased Gen.
eral Nelson and his men from Lexing-
ton, KY, to Louisville, he didn't allow
them moment for rest, and what
sleep they got was snatched as they
marched. The men were mostly
new to the business, but even the old
fellows had to succumb about the third
night. At times 1t seemed that the
whole line was asleep, but 1t moved
right along.
When General Jackson and his cav
airy Joined the retreating forces his
men were nearly all asleep In the sad
die, and not few Of the horses were
SHOCKING as they went leisurely to the
front. They seldom stumbled on a
smooth road, but II there happened to
be halt they would go head foremost
into the crowd, and waken up scared
and confused.
AS soon as the first rays Of dawn
began streaking the horizon the
sleepy, tired feeling that possessed the
weary walkers would begin to disap-
pear, and by the time the dawn had
faded into day the men were stepping
out quicker and stronger, the horses
holding their heads up and all hands
looking out for something to eat. The
effect was magical.

 kerensky in Power
 In this emergency, Kerensky became the republics hope. This youthful fig ure-he is 37-a lawyer who came out of his earlier obscurity first by de lending oppressed Jews, was granted unlimited powers by the peasants and the soldiers and workmen. He became virtually dictator, with his regime called the Government of National Safety" His was the stupendous task of re-establishing order at the front and within the government itself.
 On July 20 it has been announced that Lvoff had resigned and that Ker- ensky had succeeded him as premier, retaining, however, his portfolio as minister of war and marine. The new cabinet, the third since the inception of the revolution and the second coali- ton body, contained five Socialists and i've non-Socialists.
 Kerensky promised the provisional government he would save Russia and Russian unity by blood and iron if argument and reason, honor and con- science" were not sufficient. He at tributed the recent revolt to the de- sertion of constitutional Democratic members of the Lyoff government To stop the military retreat, to avert eco homie dissolution. to retsore the coun- try's finances, were, he said, his im- mediate aims. Kerensky conceded the serious position of the army and the necessity for heroic measures.
 Toward the end of July, Kerensky appeared to have injected his influ- ence and power into the situation to an extent that foreshadowed an end to the Russian retreat. The death pen atty was restored in the army and in subordinations were ordered punish ed in that manner. The Command of Death" composed of women soldiers, was setting an example by its bravery and it's disregard of the odds against 1t, in the Wilma region; and south of the Cafpathians the Russian forces, fin cooperation with the reformed Ruman- ian army, struck important offensive blows.

 Military Collapse
 Although Lvoff had remained as pre- mier of the second cabinet, Kerensky, as minister of war and marine, be- came the dominating power, and to him was accorded the credit of inaugura- ting the military offensive which the entente dared to hope would develop into a smashing blow against the Cen tral powers. An attempt to assassin ate Kerensky at Polotsk on July 20 only served to strengthen his position with the workmen, peasants and those soldiers who were loyal.

BIG WASH OUT.

Parties who came in on the delayed Golden State Limited on Friday night state that the washout on the main line of the Southern Pacific between Tucson and Maricopa, was nearly a mile long. All of the culverts were washed out not being large enough to carry off the flood waters that came down. In many places the water ran over the track and washed out the dirt leaving the ties hanging in the air. Temporary repairs were made so that trains could pass over but they had to move at very slow rate. Hundreds of workmen are at work repairing the damage.

WITTY TONGUE SPARED NONE
Richard Brinsley Sheridan's Humor
Knew No Distinction Between His
Friends and His Foes.

One Of the smartest bons mots ever
spoken in parliament came from Rich
ard Brinsley Sheridan, grandson of
Doctor Sheridan, at the time he was
sitting for Westminster. A long-wind-
ed member having paused in the midst
Of tedious harangue to take glass
Of water, Sheridan Immediately rose
to a point of order. Everybody won
dered what the point of order could
be.
"What is it?" asked the speaker.
81 think, sir" said Sheridan, with
great seriousness, "that it is out of
order for a windmill to go by water"
Burke's well-known melodramatic
flinging of dagger on the floor Of the
house Of commons was farcical event
which gave scope for a joke from
Sheridan.
"The gentleman has brought us the
knife, but where is the fork?"
He spared neither friend nor foe
with his wit.
When 1t was suggested that his son
should enter parliament, and he was
asked which side he would take, the
young man replied that he would vote
with those who had the most to offer
him, and he should wear on his fore
head a label, ITO Let"

New York.-During the ebb tide of
fashions is the time to plan ones COM
paign in clothes. There may have
been days on this continent when a
woman could have gone along without
confusion, bought one or two of
the new things offered by the
dressmakers and worn them with Sc
renity until the following season.
But today there is dire confusion con-
corning clothes in the minds of most
women. Few are strong enough to
rise above it, and not many are suf-
ficlently poised to disregard the per-
plexities that confront every woman
who is attempting to dress either on
small or large income.
Dressmakers have sprung up like
mushrooms; importers who were
once content with sending clothes
from Paris twice a year, now feel it
necessary to import them by every
boat, and standing orders are left by
them with the French houses to send
over anything that appears new or is
designated as such.
This may not be true Of all the CEN
tiers of American life, but 1t is GER
tainly true of handful Of great cit
les, and as women are travelling this
year in great flocks, like birds do, it
is the great centers that are catering
to their tastes and caprices and per-
suading the coin out of their purses.
Season of Uncertainty.
So, here you have this condition Of
life in early spring-conflicting ru-
mors of what will be worn and what
will be passed up; widespread and
sensational prosperity which enables
women to spend quantities Of money
in the name Of vanity; an immense
number of importers, who are shut
ting across the ocean and making
new clothes do the same; Paris
needing money and therefore, con-
strained to originate new garments
ut every turn in order to get the
money out of the only continent that
has it.
Looking this condition in the face,
one finds it almost impossible to sail
above it. Serenity of mind is a diff
cult thing to have when one is beaten
by currents of fashion and rivalry.
The woman who can go calmly on
from October to April, content either
through taste or through philosophy
with the clothes she has, is to be
envied. She is not the friend of the
dressmaker; she is the enemy of the
importer; she is not the purchaser
desired by the shops; but she keeps
her head above perplexities and con.

And she came back heartened and up

mothers have way of doing, and even
her father seemed glad to see her.
But it soon became apparent that his
gladness hid a covert chuckle at what
he construed as defeat and surrender.
He let her know that he had been los
ing money, and he expected her to
either make the advantageous match
which was still waiting for her, or go
to work at something.

Ruth felt on the night Of the con-

her selections were the best in the list,

fusion and should set an example to
other women who may follow her in
part, If not in whole.
March is the month that divides
the year in half, as far as women
and clothes are concerned. One seems
to have run a breathless race with
or against fashion until this time,
and one knows that the race will be
picked up again soon. Therefore, 1t is
wise to give few weeks over to map
ping out a campaign that will lead to
success or, at least, keep one out Of
series of quagmires.
No one, not even the rich woman,
wants to continue failures in the pur-
chase Of clothes. She who has 500
year to spend on her apparel and
she who has $1,000 is fretful If she
sees her closet filled with garments
that are wrong, unbecoming, or mop
