GAZING FOE TIE DOGS.

If proper thought Is given to 1t. own CTS of pets will be quick to admit that a writer in Dumb Animals is right when it Is insisted that ''There is no more reason why one should allow his dog to become a nuisance to his neigf1bors than that he should permit his cattle or his swine to annoy them and to injure their property"
 Those in fact who own dogs for the most part have them 50 trained, or give them such care that they are not forever trespassing upon the property of neigh bors. There are, however, those who claim to be the owners of dogs but who pay little attention to them, depending upon them to traverse the neighbor- hood to pick up their living and there are those which do much toward the wrecking of flower beds and gardens, while the howling and barking is an an- noyance of varying magnitude.
 When animals are maintained under such conditions 1t Is evident that they are not getting the attention they should have from their owners. They are go- ing far beyond what the license to maintain them warrants and when com plaints are made under such conditions those making them must be regarded as entirely within their rights. Because one can keep horses and cows doesn't mean that they are free to rove where they please on the property of others.
 Those who have the proper regard for their animals, however, do not turn them loose on the public. They are given proper care and they are kept within bounds, meaning that there Is consideration for the animal the same as there Is for the neighbor. Many times 1t Isn't 50 much the fault Of the dog as it Is the owner in training it.
 It is a dog of this kind which Is toe often left at this season of the year tc shift for itself while the family goes to the shore or on vacation elsewhere

Tt seemed funny to me-, said the girl with the pencil in her hair that Sophie went to such an out-of-the-way summer resort. Of course, don't hold any brief for the close-in places especially. but the fare up to Lake Lora is s1s.50 one way.
 Maybe she knew somebody who was going there, offered the girl with the paper sleeves.
 That's the curious part of 1t. she didn't, contradicted the girl with the pencil, she was never there before; I asked her. And as for knowing anybody why whom does Sophie ever meet ex- cept people here at the office? She ab- soluteiy never has a. date"
 That's right enough" said the girl with the water wave, "and always feel mean when I say I've been somewhere the night before. because Sophie looks so wistful Have you ever noticed her eyes? They're the loveliest blue you can imag- inc sometimes they're so soft and pretty and other times they're so brilliant that all you can think of is the August sun on a very blue lake !"
 "Marylyn is getting poetic, laughed the girl with the paper sleeves.
 T am not objected the girl with the water wave What I meant was-isr't 1t funny that no man ever sees how pretty her eyes are?
 She's so shy that she drops her eyes if man looks at her" said the girl with the paper sleeves.
 "And then she went upjto that summer resort on a big lake boat.' went on the girl with the pencil s'She showed me one of the folders of the place and if you can imagine it. folks''-here the girl with the pencil pausd dramatically-''i said positivly no dancing and no music :!

 There's something underneath it all, said the girl with the water wave, happen to know that Sophie hates anC despises fishing.

Stories That Recall Others

However. be- fore the day was over every member except Charley figured that he was No. 13 while Charley figured that 1t would have been better had he stayed at home.
 The party had fine time. When they were preparing to eat there were the flies and some chickens which had found their way to the picnic ground to watch. Charley is an accommodating fellow and he was assigned to police duty over the food. With club in hand he stood or guard. All went well until his atten- ton was attracted by some of the stunts underway. He turned just in time to see an old rooster dipping into delicious piece of pie.

voltaire and others, and has ever been declared to be nothing more than trans lator, in spite of the fact that as nov .elist he stands in the front rank in the estimation of all nations
 Sir Walter Scott. in his Lives of Novelists," in the chapter on the French writer, says: If Gil Blas' history had a prototype among Spanish stories, 1t must probably have been in that his Guznan, and sone Slight resemblance may be discovered between some of the incidents, for instance, in which Guzman is about to marry the daughter of a wealthy Genoese. and that of the excel lent Don Raphael in the house of Pedro de Moyades in like manner the incident of that worthy assuming the address of a dead hermit"
 There has indeed been an unauthen- ticated account of Le Sage having obtain ed possession of some manscripts of Ger vantes, which he had had used literally and without knowledge in the coastruc- tion of his Gil Blas' But the style of Cervantes and Le Sage are so essentially different that each in itself is masterly and in the absence of positive evidence one would as soon be induced to believe that the Frenchman wrote Don duixote' and that the Spaniard composed Gil Blas.' ?
 Two of the most severe critics against Le Sage's originality are Padre Isla and Senor Llorente, both of whom claim he stole the story from Spanish romance by De Soils, Llorente says he secured 1t in manuscript. The arguments of Isla are very poor, but those Of Llo- rente are at least logical. He ,enoeavors to show from the language the names of persons and places, the manners and GUS toms. and the errors in the names. the chronology and the typography worked into the story. that the work could not have been French in its origin, but must have been derived from Spanish source
 While the majority of the literary in- vestigators do full justice to Le Sage in giving him entire credit for his marvellous "Gil Blas," yet there appears to be a number of circumstances that might throw doubt as to whether or not he {, had relied too much upon Spanish manu. scripts in his possession to entitie hin to full credit for having conceived one oi g oluI md IsAs ssousmoI lselssIs sq l book.

TIE PRESIDENTS IMAGINING.

When in response to the proclamation issued by President Harding the strike committee of the eastern roads declares that the strike will be continued until a satisfactory settlement Is reached 1t all hinges on what is regarded as a satis- factory settlement, but when 1t is said that the meaning of the document ought to be more clearly defined it is an effort to cloud the issue.
 The president declares that the men have a right to stop work but he also points out that those who choose to ac- cept employment under the terms of the decision of the railroad labor board have the same indisputable right to work that others have to decline to work and the immediate cause of the proclamation is that those who have de- clined to work and maintained that they roads have persisted in their efforts to prevent others frem working and to stop the operation of trains in interstate commerce.
 For the shopmen of the eastern roads to maintain that they will not tolerate acts of violence or the physical interfer- ence with the movement of trains is simply to ignore the fact that such acts have already been committed, necessi- tating the calling out of the militia for the protection of life. and property What may be the attitude of the shop men on the eastern roads certainly isn't the attitude of those in certain centers of the middle west, and yet they are all members of the same organization, and plainly 1t is the attitude of violence which has been disclosed which prompt ed the presidents proclamation at this time He warns all to refrain from in- terfering with interstate transportation and the mails.
 The strike is strike against the | agent of the government and therefore against the government, and the atti tude that Is being maintained whether violence Is being displayed or not car be regarded only as being manifested toward the government. Under the con ditions which lead up to it there certain ly can be no sympathy on the part o the public towards those who take. any such position, and the presidents proc lamation should bring them to reali zation of the situation rather than to ; [ reception of 1t with defiance

 Gen.

He was commander of the foreign legion in the army of the unfortunate Emperor Maxnillian of Mexico. He served with great distinction in the French army in the Frsnco-Prussiau war.
 He finally became a najor-generai h the Russian army. and ii was his engi- neering genius that enabled Skobelen to win the battle of Plevna and thus end the war between Russis and Turkey in favor of the former. General Mason McCarty built long stretch of the trans-Siberian railway. He also con- structed large part of the defences al Port Arthur. which he defended in the Russo-Japanese war.

Even though the government has closed the fiscal year of 1s2l-22 with a surplus. which reflects much credit up- on the administration. 1t Is not to be supposed that there is going to bA con doned any relaxation of the business ike methods which have produced such excellent results. The last fiscal year opened: with prospects of a much less deheit than the present one. Because of the policies followed that deficit was overcome and third of a billion surplus obtained. For the ensuing year the pros pects are for an apparent deficit of near Y t7oo,coo,ooo which will be reduced by, the past years surplus to $425 5,ooo,- o00.
 During the past year there was col lected a billion and a half less from the people than the year before. This was through reduction of taxes It would be an easy matter for this sum to be nax@- 1p by increasing taxes, but that isS just what the president warns must not be done.
