BULLDOGS Made Ferocious.

Bull-baiting at times ranked as the
national pastime of England and
countless scores of dogs met their
death to provide diversion for the
British public. Even royalty favored
the sport" although during the last
100 years of it's existence patrons Of
the bullring comprised exclusively the
Clover classes" The bravery of the
bulldog, cultivated during centuries Of
active service in the bullring, natural
ly became deeply inherited. Owing to
the dogs occupation and surroundings
he acquired a savageness of DISPOSE
ticn which prompted one authority, as
recently as fifty years ago, when bull
batting, which had long been made
illegal, was long since over, to state
that the bulldog had an intractable
temper and that he would turn on his
master, if offended. as readily as on
a stranger.

Distinguished by Wig.

Thus James Stewart in his inimit-
able "Plocacosmos, or the Whole Art
Of Hairdressing," first published in
London in 1882, tells how the wig
gradually came to "declare the man."
He speaks of ''the huge tie peruke of
the man Of law" Of the '1ong bob or
natty scratch" of the tradesman and
the hunting peruke Of the country
gentleman - while "the merchant men
of business and of letters were distin-
guished by the grave full bottom, or
more moderate tie neatly curled."

A Useless Expense
While the American people

While the American people are
protesting against high prices Of
commodities, they are being robbed
in other ways aud making little or
no protest. The tons of literature
franked out daily by congress are
costing the taxpayers millions OF
dollars and no one is deriving any
benefit from it, except the govern
ment employees, who draw salaries
for printing and mailing Out the
stuff.
Hardly a mail comes in but there
is a pamphlet from some senator OF
congressman. sometimes a half
dozen to one address in each mail
Many of them never get outside OF
the postoffice. The mailing lists
used at Washington contain hun
dreds of names of people who no
longer get their mail at Monroe City
some have moved away. some
are dead-yet the same franked-out
pamphlet continue to come to their
addresses and are not delivered.
Hundreds of other people glance al
the mail placed in their boxes. see
that it is Senator Big Voices speech
on how to economize or some equal
ly pertinent subject and drop il.
unopened. into the postoffice waste
basket. Others do as we do, carry
them as far as their place Of busi-
ness and drop them into the waste
basket.
Not only is there a tremendous
waste in transporting this mail. but
think of the cost of tons of paper.
the ink, the labor of printing, of ad-
dressing and mailing them-all for
nothing. for not one person in a
hundred reads them.
Perhaps our congressman and
senators, do not know that if the
speech is of any real Importance.
the daily papers print it and all OF
us nowadays are able to read and
do read, as much of it interests US.
