SCOTCH COLLIE IN COURT
With Assistance of Child Friends Dog
Comes Out of Difficulty With
Flying Colors.
A Scotch collie dog was acquitted in
police court recently of the charge of |
being “fierce and vicious,” says a Jack-
son, Mich., dispatch to the New York
World. The complaint, which was
directed against the owner, John De
Landers, but meant far more to the
dog’s welfare than to John’s, was
signed by T. P. Murphy, a street car
motorman. Mr. Murphy resides at
310 Bush street and Mr. De Landers |
at 307 Bush street.
Each of them owns a dog, and re
cently the two animals participated
in a chewing match on Mr. Murphy's
front porch. The latter's little girl |
tried to pass them at the time they
were “scrapping” and the Scotch collie
snarled and snapped at her, perhaps
thinking she was bent on stopping the
fight.
Mr. Murphy testified that while the
dog did not bite the child and he could
not say the canine had ever bitten any
one, still he contended the Scotch col-
lie had a disposition to be barking and
stirring up a row.
“He is a regular fight promoter and
a nuisance in the neighborhood,” said
the complainant to the judge. «
The defendant had brought into
court a raft of children who have been
in the habit of playing with the dog, |
and they declared the dog was all
right. Then came the dog’s turn, and
he took the stand in his own defense,
jumped up into the witness chair,
wagged his tail, blinked his eyes and
extended his tongue and shook him-
to him and asked him if it were true
that he was ever naughty.
“He never bites, just plays,” re-
marked one of the children while pat-
ting him on the back.
The judge concluded the dog was
not vicious or dangerous and returned
a verdict of not guilty.
SHY AT ALL INNOVATIONS
Humanity Slow to Recognize Even the
Things of Life That Are
the Best.
Few good things get a hearty wel-
come when they knock at the door.
Human nature shies at innovation,
and can be persuaded to adopt it only
after pioneers have worn the blush of
newness off and stood firm until ridi-
cule has crawled back into its hole.
We hope that the young men who
are wearing what the haberdashers
call “sport shirts” will prove worthy |
pioneers, proof against laughter,
strong in the face of irrational preju-
dice. For, by their services, mankind
may escape the tyranny of the hard
boiled collar. The day may come
when the morning wrestling with but-
tons and buttonholes which hate each
other like sin will be like the memory
of a boyhood nightmare. That sawmill
effect which collars occasionally get
and the clammy strangling that goes
with humid days will go down in the
books as evils conquered. All be-
cause a few courageous young men in
every community place the good of
their fellows above the sensitiveness |
of their souls.—Toledo Blade.
Even on the Mountain Top.
Smith lived in a neighborhood where
there were many pianos, phonographs,
barky dogs and sweet children, and,
finding that sleep was impossible, he
began to look around for a quiet re-
treat. Finally he found it on the top
of a mountain, and great was his hap-
piness.
One day, however, he appeared in
town looking extremely sad, and his
friends quickly questioned him as to
the cause. :
“It’s no use, boys,” he responded in |
“It is simply a |
waste of time to fight the inevitable.” |
a dejected voice.
“Yesterday a young man came up
on the mountain,” explained Smith,
“and pitched a tent near my bunga-
low. This morning he told me that
he was going to spend the summer
there learning to play the violin.”—
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Pudding Sure Sign of Battle.
A British soldier who wears the rib- | /
bon of South Africa, was asked while
on leave at home recently, whether
the soldiers knew for long beforehand
when they are going to be called upon
to deliver an assault.
“Well, they don’t exactly tell us,
but we always know,” he replied, ad-
ding, rather grimly, “you see, if a
number of army chaplains suddenly
turn up, we can always guess that
something good and hard is going to
be asked of us shortly. If they serve
us with pudding for dinner before we
go into the trenches, why, then we
know for certain!”
Not Needed.
Professor Munsterberg has invented
an apparatus which indicates whether
a party engaged in conversation is
telling the truth. In the case of some
people we know the contrivance is not
needed to show that they are lying.—
New Orleans States.
Antiseptic Vaccine.
A Great British physician, Sir Alm-
roth Wright has invented an antisep-
tic vaccine. By inoculation, it is
hoped, a soldier before going into bat-
tle may be made proof against the in-
fection of wounds.
. WASHING IS MODERN CUSTOM
Only in Comparatively Recent Times
Has the idea of Cleanliness Be-
come Common.
One must not forget that regular
' and systematic cleansing of the person
| is a very modern fashion. As late as
the early part of the nineteenth cen-
{ tury toothbrushes were not allowed
iin certain French convents, being
: looked upon as a luxury.
Cleanliness was not very common a
| century and a half ago in any coun-
| try.
In 1770 the publication of Monsieur
, Perrel’s “Pogonotomie, ou I'Art d’ap-
| prendre a se raser soi-meme,” cre- |
| aed a sensation among fashionable
people, and enthusiasts studied self-
| shaving.
The author of Lois de la Galan-
‘terie” in 1640 writes: “Every day one
| should take pains to wash one’s hands
{and one should also wash one’s face |
| almost as often!”
The copious streams of hot and cold
| water, turned into a porcelain tub at
| any time of the day or night, the
| brushes and soaps and towels and toi-
| let waters and powders of our day,
~ were quite unknown to our not far-off
i ancestors.

Fighting Quicksand.
In sinking a shaft there are few
i things that a miner can encounter '

than a deep vein of quicksand. That

Tea the Alles’ Favorite Drink.
The favorite drink of the French
army today, as it is in both the Eng-
lish and Russian armies, is tea. There
are many tea canteens along the
front, where men can get hot cups of
itea on entering and leaving the
| trenches. Every one of these I have
| seen has been full, and single canteens
| sometimes serve 25,000 cups of tea a
j day.—Arno Dosch in World’s Work.
Did Away With Madder.
Alizarin, a dyestuff, was first syn-
| thetically produced in 1869, in which
| year the world production of madder
| was 110,000,000 pounds of roots, rep-
resenting 1,100,000 to 1,650,000 pounds
of alizarin, worth $11,250,000. In 1870
France had approximately 50,000
| acres under madder cultivation, which
| soon disappeared after the introduc-
| tion of the artificial product.

The modern hat can be traced back
to the petasurs worn by the ancient
Romans when on a journey. and hats
with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks. It was not until aftel
the Roman conquest that the use of
hats began in England. A “hatte of
biever,” about the middle of the
twelfth century. was worn by one of
the nobles of the iand. Froissart de
scribes hats and plumes which were
worn at Edward's court in 1340, when
the Garter order was instituted. The
merchant in Chaucer's “Canterbury
Tales” had on his head a Flanderish
beaver hat, and from that period on-
ward there is frequent mention of]
“felt hattes.”
