Owing To Ownership.
Mrs. Russell Sage is one of the
naost active workers in the movement
'o abolish the docking of the tails of
korses, says the Chicago Chronicle.
In a discussion of this movement
she said recently:
"If the horses already docked were
out of the way we should have no
trouble in putting a stop to docking
forever. But many persons, advocates 4
of our movement in the past, no soon
er buy a pair of showy carriage horses
with docked tails than they desert us
and go over .to the enemy."
She smiled sadly:
"It is the la story,'' she said.

'Why, no; not yet,' Black an
swered. 'The fact is we have grown
rather fond of the. critter, he is so
playful and affectionate.'
'" 'But doesn't his barking annoy
you?' White asked.
'.No, I haven't noticed it,' said;
Black.
" 'Well,' White grumbled, 'I can'
-~sleep for that brute's continual howl
Mrs. Sage smiled again.
"In the case of ourselves it is one
Sthing; in the case of others it is a
different matter,'' she said.

"Country Towns."
The (rlmllers of (G0eorg"ia prolpse
to see to it that hotel-keepers of the
'tate give them elean sheets. At aA
meeting of Post C. of the Travellers
Protective association. a resolution
was adopted requiring E. 11. MeMi

bers of the post, to introduce a bill in
the legislature providing that no ho
tel-keeper or keeper of a lodging
house entertaining transients shall as
sign a guest to a room in which the
bed linen has not been changed since
the last previous occupancy of the
room.L
Travelling men complain that they
often have unpleasant and disgusting
experiences in this respect in hotels,
especially in remote towns and vil- I
lages. The drummers state that at
country-town hotels sheets are chang
ed but once a week no matter what
