Ancestry of Modern DOGS.

According to Charles r. Eastman.
writing in the Museum Journal, our
modern dogs have varied ancestry,
some being descended from Asiatic
and some from African species. The
spitz in all its varieties is a domesti-
Gated jackal The mastiff and st. Ber-
nard and their kind are descended
through the molossus Of the Romans
from huge, woldike creature that was
already domesticated by the Assyro-
Babylonians 5000 years before our era.
The Russian borzoi and the Sicilian
hound had their origin in the Cretan
hound, which is still common In Crete,
and it and its cousin, the Ibaza hound
Of the Balearic islands, came from the
ancient Ethiopian hound, which was
domesticated wolf. The collie or shep-
herd dog seems to come down direct
from a small wild dog Of the paleolith-
ic period

Here's a Tip About Hotel Guests.

In the American Magazine a writer
says:
Here's a funny thing, by the way.
that I've noticed about hotel guests:
You leave a soiled towel in a room
and the guest will probably complain,
but you can leave bucket of paint
and paper hangers scaffold in the
hallway and compel the guest to crawl
under a stepladder to get to his room
and he will put up with it cheerfully.
because he knows you are painting or
papering by way Of making an i'm
provement and he is in sympathy with
that. It doesn't cost much to make
over a carpet so that bare spot in
front of the dresser will be eliminated,
but such little details are vast help
in making hotel prosper
