Prof. Starr of the University
of Chicago says that dog meat is
just as good as mutton. It may
be to one who hankers after surloin
cur cuts, but mutton chops
are good enough for us.
It.J begins to look very much
like Georgia is going to irv state
prohibition. A Jbill designed to
make the whole common wealth
k,dry" has passed the Senate by
an overwhelming majority, and
the indications are that it will
have easy sailing in the llou'e?

Accompanying the letter of
Senator Latimer, which appears
in today's paper, wis a copy of
the report of Commissioners
Latimer and])Burnett of a visit
to a cotton milljnear Milan, Italy.
Inasmuch as Editor Carpenter's
account of the visit was published
in ourjlast issue, it |is unnecessary
to give space to'the otlicial
report.
President Roosevelt favors
the teaehing'of rille shooting in
the schools of the country. The
boys learn how to shoot, any way;
but it would no' he a bad idea
to instruct tlie girls in the u-e ol

before stated. There]would]be a
marked diminution in the number
of criminal assaults in this
conn try it t he women knew how
.*0 handle andjjuse firearms.
l'aderewski, the celebrated
piano banger, is said to spend
much of bis time, when not tilling
engagements, on his farm in
Poland. While] there lie might
greatly improve his personal appearance
by harrowing his hair,
which resembles an inverted
brush heap; and it wouldn't
hurt his name to discharge a
package of fire-erackers under it.
Notwithstanding President
Roosevelt's flamboyant vo!u bil
ity, he knows how* to keep a
secret and his own counsel when
occasion requires. lie is a past
