A Theatrical Stenographer Put It on the Same Plane as a Play. Dog stories are plentiful, as are also fish stories, but here is a genuinely true one, vouched for by Manager Will J. Davis and Myron B. Rice, which alone should be suf- ficient evidence of its truthfulness Mr. Davis is a fancier of dows, and he is « m- | tinually bothered by his friends for young specimens. In the summer Mr. Davis had |} a kennel of bulldogs which were unusual- ly fine. He had remembered Mr. Rice vis- iting his farm in the Henry Irving engage- tient, where he much admired all of Mr. Davis' canine family. He thought Mr. Rice would he pleased to possess one « f theve fine bulldogs, so he forwarded one to New York ci ty. My Ric » while in New York lives in an apartme! and as apartments in New Yor rk are " gimilar to those in Chicago the sonia r protested against Mr. Rice havit 4 a dog in his rooms. He did not know What to do with the pup, having no place to keep him, and yet not wishing to give it to any ne else, He therefore thought it would be best to return it to Mr. Davis. He took the dog to the office and there had it packed fer shipment. In the meantime he had requested his stenographer to write a polite letter to Mr. Davis, telling him the facts and expressing thanks and re- grets. Now,in Mr. Rice's New York office they ere in the habit ef receiving numer- ous manuscrip(s of plays. “Will you dictate this letter?” asked the stenographer. ) ‘‘No. Go ahead and write it yourself. I am busy just now. With all the experience you have had you certainly should have tact enough to decline a bulldog without givi ng offense. A few days later Mr. Davis received the following polite letter of explanation and thanks from his friend. Myron B. Rice. At first he could not comprehend its meaning. He, however, kept it and ME LIQUCK AND DRUG HABIT Ignarantee to every victim of the liquor Scirag habit, no matter how had the care, iat uben my vegetable medicine is taken Benmoved within three days, sapert cure effected in three weeks. and @ per- The Buicine is taken privately and without wefering with business duties.

An eminent scientist has been telling tie sanitary congress that sensational the- ttical posters are highly detrimental to te moral health of the community.

If you 1 should get a Mes germ expects to have considerable amusement | out of it at the expense of Mr. Rice: DEAR Str—We to decline the bulldog you so kindly submitted tous. We have carefully examined it and are sincerely sorry that it does not seem wholly available for our use. Of course you are aware that many consid- erations besides quality must govern the ac- cepiance of bulldogs, and the rejection of any particular bulldog does not necessarily imply that it is lacking in merit. This and a hundred other reasons may cause the rejection of any offered bulldog without reference to its intrinsic worth. The simple fact of refusal, therefore, does not carry with it any adverse judgment as to the excellence of the bulldog, but it is merely a statement that it cannot be used at the present tme. We thank you for your courtesy in submitting saine and remain, very truly yours, Myxon B. Ricg. Per F. J. —Chicago Tribune. - Tired of the Choir. If weare tosit back in our pews and gaze up at a lot of singers and not be able for the life that is in us to distinguish five words of their hymns, anthems, ete., then let choirs come down. If our prevailing thought as listeners is, who is the hand- somest female singer or the ugliest male one—if she went up to C und he down to 7, if the heart has not been impressed by the sentiment of the song, which they have kept all to themselves, then let them stop off awhile and take lessons in euncia- tion from an elocutionist.—Altanta Con- stitution. Editors and Gentlemen. A Georgia paper somewhat infelicitously remarked of the late Goneral Avery of At- lanta that, although he was a great jour- nalist. he was an ideal gentleman. This suggests to the Montgomery Advertiser the old story of the editor and the barber on a steamboat. When the editor offered to pxy for his shave, the barber drew him- self up and remarked, ‘‘We don't never charge editors nothin, sah.”’ ‘But you can'tearry on your business uniess you charge forit,”’ persisted the editor. ‘‘ Dat’s all right, sah,’’ replied the darky. ‘We makes it up off'n gentlemen.’’—New York Tribune. Few men understaneé. women. en a wo- man is weak, sickly, nervous, fretful, irrita- ble and despondent, the average husbarfd imagines that she is simply out of temper. An average hus- band will probably cimply go out and leave her alone for awhile, ‘to have it out with herself.’ A bad usband is liable to go off and get drunk. The fact is that the r wife is suffering from illness of a de- scription that breaks a woman down sooner than anything else. Her back is weak and aches. Her “ sides stitch.” She has pains anda dragging sensation in the abdomen. Her appetite is touchy and she suffers from nausea. She has sick headaches, giddi- ness, dizziness, cold chills, flushings of heat, shortness of breath, palpitation, dis- turbed sleep, frightful dreams, irregutari- ties and nervous and trembling sensations. Her pain-racked merves arc a continual torture. A woman in this cond ; from weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs concerned in wife- | hood and motherhood.
