ISOLATED HIM.
Here’s one of Walter Kelly’s dog
btories. Walter doesn't vouch for it.
but it comes from a friend of his, so
It’s probably all right, says the Cleve
land Plain Dealer,
It seems that Kelly left town on
a business trip some time ago and
left his blue ribbon dogs in the care
of a man who was supposed to know
all about dogs. In about a week this
man wrote that one of the dogs had
developed symptoms that indicated
mange, and asked for instructions.
Kelly wired back as follows:
"Isolate dog at once. Take no
chances of mange spreading.”
Sufficient instructions, and within
the ten-word limit. When the owner
got back home, he asked the guardian
If the dog had really developed
mange. The man looked surprised
and answered:
"Why, no —I isolated him right
away, like you said. But don’t you
worry: ;it didn’t hurt him none. I
done It with chloroform, an’ he never
knowed what happened.

MINUTES IN
MANHATTAN
(By Gotham Knickerbocker.)
New York —You have all heard tho
story about the group discussing who
is the greatest Inventor the world has
ever known. As you remember, they
all had had their say on Edison. Mar
coni, Stephenson, and the unknown
geniuses responsible for the bow and
arrows, and the first wheeled enrt,
when a commercially minded gentle
man spoke up:
“That feller what Invented interest
was no fool!”
This anecdote was recalled to my
mind by an incident in which George
S. Dougherty, deputy police commis
sioner in charge of the detective ser
vice of the metropolis, figures. He
had before him a grey haired burglar,
first put in prison for practicing his
profession thirty two years ago an 1
now accused of a series of "Jobs” tn
Harlem.
“You’re, the man that Invented blow
ing safes with nitroglycerine, arene
you?” thundered the commissioner.
"No sir,” protested the aged crimi
nal. “I wouldn’t know a bottle of
soup if I drank it.”
Now hero is a fine condition of af
fairs. A man who, my friend Dough
erty says, invented a device which has
enriched thousands, besides relieving
many more thousands of that which
oft causes cares and worries, refuses
to take the glory of his service to hu
manity. it is very curious. If I had
thought up such a contrivance as this
method of safe cracking, I would cer
tainly claim equal eminence with the
inventors of the subway side door, the
machine gun. the Interlocking direc
torate, the divinity of the mail ser
vice and the policy of "watchful
waiting.”
Well, New York always was a place
where you had to Jolly your servants
along. The lecture received from
your wife on arriving home from a
poker game at tho club Is nothing
compared to the words which freeze
one's bones from the cook and the
waitress (if you have both) on sitting
down to the dinner *. ble later then
6:30 sharp.
But to the gilt edge example. A
young woman hired as a housekeeper
declares in court that she was to re
ceive S3OO a month, and that some of
her porquisites were frequent visits to
Martin’s, Sherry's, and Maxims and
the right to have things charged to
her employer at several Fifth Avenue
shops dealing in women's finery.
Heaven and earth! She goes on to
complain because her employer left his
own home and took his own furniture
with him. He did It roughly and in a
crude and violent manner. And he
spoke harshly to her. Perhaps he
said:
"I’m broke, and you did it!”
The latest nsvelty in entertainment
Is the ‘‘Omar-Khayyarn.” A society
leader on a recent evening received
her guests on a salon floor entirely
transformed into a diminutive Persian
garden. Tho pink roses, the fountain,
the well-built of white stones and fill
ed with punch) the peacock, the white
bird of parudise, the lilars, and the
grape vines all were on view.
The invitations were in the form of
parchment scrools rolled and placed in
white boxes with crimson borders.
They read:
Bring your book of verses underneath
the bough,
Leave your loaf and Jug of wine to
me.
And whomever old Omar meant by
"thou"
If this were Paradise enow for him,
Therefore wouldn't thou or any one
desire?
The snow may make a wilderness
without,
But paradise awaits you by the fire.
In one of the larger rooms was a
Persian rug of a bygone century which
Is supposed to have a hypnotic spell
woven into its mesh. The walls were
covered with Persian and Arabic tex
tiles and manuscripts. Minerets and
ancient walls were seen limned in
artificial moonlight.
The supper courses were Persian.
.One dish we peasants. It was found
impossible to procure enough peacocks’
tongues for a pot pie.
The favors included for each of tho
one hundred and fifty guests a copy
of the "Rubaiyat," a special edition
toot<>d and engraved. There were also
Persian caps for the woman and
Astrakhan cups for the men.
After supper a fortune teller dee
orlbed the future and the gay couples
danced around the well und fountain
and through the trrlllsed pardons.
In one of the numerous reporters’
rooms about town. (1 don’t mention
which for obvious reasons) three
poker games V're proceeding at the
usual hot taiiT. recently, when the
door opened Mid two strangers blew
In. Each wore a soft hat with a bow

"We're from the school of journal
ism, and wo on mo down lo see how

the two. Then they both looked more
foolish thnn before,
"Well, this Is us, and we're work
ing,” said a facetious newspaper man.
"Looks will cost you ten cents a
bond.”
Some of the other scribes considered
this a bit rough sml Immediately
brought forward chairs for the new

teous Invitation to sit in. explaining

Journalism.
Twenty-five minutes later each of
the young men from Columbia had a
large stark of blue and white ones be
fore them. The stacks had been In
creasing pretty steadily for those
twenty-five minutes. Suddenly the
facetious newspaper man who hnd
first addressed them spoke up again:
"1 guess you fellows have learned all
we can teach you about this part of
the newspaper game. Come on —I’ll
show you around the building."
As the facetious one went forth to
Institute the pair from the hulls of
journalism to laboratory methods, tho
other scribes at the poker table heav
ed a sigh of relief, while tho players
at the second and third tables took
a three minute recess for a general
haw-haw!

Pres’t Tener of the National

Philadelphia. —Gov. Tener, president
of the National I.eague, who declared
last night that he welcomed a test ease
to prove that William Killifer, a
catcher, is the property of the Phil
adelphia club and that whatever agree
ment the player made with the Chicago
Federal I/cague club was not binding,

Federals and tho players said to have
been obtained by that league.
Are Discards.
"With the exception of Tinker and
Knabe," he said, “the players obtain
ed by the opposition have been either
discards or players of such mediocre
attainments that their absence won't
hurt tho club they deserted. I am
happy to say that no good player in
his zenith has been induced to Jump.
"There is something deeply signifi
cant in this fact. It shows that the
players with a future or players in
their prime have too much foresight to
Jeopardize their careers by being
moved to the visionary schemes of the
outlaw promoters.
Their Mainspring.
"The mainspring of the Federals Is
Weegham of Chicago. He is Immense
ly popular, they tell me, and Isn’t In
baseball for the money. He is simply
a real fan and when he couldn’t get
a major league franchise he allied him
self with the outlaws. Weegham la the
live wire of the league but he can’t
assume all the burdens of the enter
prise himself. I was not at all sur
prised when I read that John Barbour
is going to retire as president of the
Pittsburg Federal League club. I
never thought he could devote his time
to putting an outlaw league on its feet.
He has too many other interests for
that."

Just the Slight Exhilaration
Needed for Health
Nature has supplied us with wonder
ful materlale for the restoration of
health. It is from our own foreats
that Georgia people have the beat
medicine In the world. S. S. S., the
famous vegetable blood purifier, has
been a marvel for morn than forty
years. And Its action In overcoming
all skin troubles and blood risings or
eruptions Is easily explained.
The skin is but a network of fine
blood vessels. And It is perfectly natural
that any unhealthful Influence in the
blood makee its first appearance In
ihe skin. There is one Ingredient in
S. R. 8. which peculiarly stimulates
cellular or glandular activity to select
from the blood or from this fine net
work of blood vessels In the skin,
those elements which It requires for
regeneration.
Thus pimples, bolls, eczema, or any
other blood condition that attacks the
skin ‘or seeks an outlet through the
skin, Is met with the antidotal effect
of H, S. B.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
And In ridding the blood of Impurities,
H. 8. B. Imparts a fine exhilaration to
•he entire system and you feel fine.
B. B. B. Is prepared only by The Bwlft
Specific Co., 0-9, Bwlft Bldg., Atlanta,
