HELD THAT DOG IS PROPERTY s t Tennesset Court In Its Decision Reverse* Rulings That Have Been Made on the Subject. 1“ _____ An action at law in Tennessee, in volving the seizure and sale at public 1 auction of two coon dogs for debt has brought from the supreme court ol , the state a ruling that a dog is prop . erty, although, as the report goes on to say, previous rulings have been to the contrary. If there is any other part of the globe that denies to the dog the manifest right to be rated as f property the error should promptly be j corrected. In this Instance the dogs I were all the earthly treasures the debtor possessed, except the clothes on his bsck. Otherwise, of course, the 1 sheriff would never have levied on 1 them. The hardest-hearted officer ot 1 the law would not deprive a man ot his dog if anything else could be found to take away. The thief in the Bight, who occasionally lifts one. is not a fit associate for a yeggman. There Is another aspect of the matter, which, in fact, has been a bone of ■ legal contention from very ancient . times. As the supreme court of one , state observed: "It bears a tinge ot i the ridiculous to contend that, how- , ever many and however valuable dogs a man may own. he cannot be made to pay his debts if he will only Invest his money In dogs." That a dog is not property has usually been argued t on the ground either that from Its an- ■ ceatry it remains a wild animal in such sense as not to be a leviable possession, or that an animal which 4 not good to eat has no intrinsic value. HAD TO RUN HUSBAND, TOO Burden on Mistress of Farm Was Not Lessened by the Preeence of Hubby. A traveler was taking his dinner one day at a mountain farmhouse on ! the heal waters of the Cumberland river, and the lady of the house, who had four children playing around the - front of the establishment, was inclined tb repine at her hard luck iu having so much work to do. "I run thia here whole farm,” she said. In a tone which indicated that she was ready to resign ’’How many acres have you’’’ the traveler inquired. “A hundred and forty; twenty In wheat, sixty In corn, ten in medder an' paster, an' the balance scatt”'i_ an’ wooda" “Got any stock T" "Ten head uv cattle, two cows, six ■ hogs and work critters for the place." "And you run the whole business?” ■ "Indeed I do; every hide an' hair uv it,” she sighed. “But you have hired help?" “In course, but 'tain't hired help that ’ takes the load often a body." There was philosophy iu that statement, and the traveler paused a minute. i “Haven't you got a husband?" he next asked, with a good deal of sym I pathy. "Yes.” she responded, very slowly, "but I have to run him, too." Swordsmen of the Sea. The swordsmen of the isea are the sawfishes, spearflsbee, rallfisht-s. swordfishes and the narwhalZwith its spirally twisted straight tusks. Sawfishes inhabit the warmer seas, while the narwhal is a creature of the Arc tic. The tusk of the narwhal Is hollow nearly to the point and is spirally grooved. It uses its tusk as a weapon of defense and to plunge through the • ice to breathe, the narwhal being a cetacean Sometimes when a boat has been caught tn the ice great damage has been inflicted by the inquisitived<m or blundering of this great creature, that sometimes reaches a length of 15 feet, with a tusk of from six to ten feet in length. As a rule, however, the narwhal uses its tusk for killing flsh for food. In the castle of Rosenberg the kings of Den- ' mark have long possessed a magnlflr cent throne made of tusks of this j cetacean. These tusks are harder and ’ whiter than ivory. I Visitor Heard All. 1 Finances were in a very low condition when Juliet received a surprise visit from her friend. Farnegle. "You will stay to dinner, won't I you?” she said. i "Why, yes; 1 would like It very ; much if you will have me." I Juliet went into the ki'chen to give I her orders to her maid. She forgot > that her visitor could hear every } word —or perhaps she didn't forget. > Anyhow, thia conversation came to } his ears: 1 "Mary, J want you to get up a d<> J licloua little dinner. Oyster cocktail. > fish brook trout if you can get it; a ! broiler or a spring turkey—" I "Yes. ma'am; and I had better tell > the man that your banker is visiting } you or else he'll be putting me off > with pork chop*.” RlffM •» Bear Arms. } The wot da from Article 11., amend } ments to the Constitution of the Cult- > ed States, "A well-regulated militia J tsfng necereary to the security of a j free people, the right of the people | to keep and bear arms shall not Its ! infringed." evidently ha a a commu--1 nlty meaning; but they aii.o carry j alonj with the nr- the right of toe in- | dhldual to safeguaid himself and j bis house by keeping blnwelf armed ! with -.ho necessary means of def- nse. | The law against carrying conc-nied I weapo a, now on the statute books of J mos. if the states, is a matter quite i foreiau to i&c broad principles of the I risbt ot keeping and bearing artua. f
