All Dogs
j)OG CATCHER OUT WITH HIS
NET AFTER THE MUZZELESS
DOGS
The dogs are wearing muzzles. You
may bet your sweet life, they are.
All kinds of muzeles. Iron muzzles,
wood muzzles and leather muzzles.
Some of the muzzles render the dogs
helpless to bite, other muzzles are a
dodge of the law for the dog can bite
just as good with-the muzzle on as
he can with it off. But you may he
sure that the police are watching
and for the different styles of muz
zles and if one of these useless
"placebo" muzzles happen to come un
der their observation the owner of
that dog and muzzle will hear from
it. But the dogs are wearing muzzles
and the people kind of feel safe, from
canine molars. Yet some dogs have
aot got into the habit of wearing muz
zles. Their masters nave, failed to
purchase their head gear, and for this
class of dogs the dog catcher is out
with his net and sooner or later every
last one of them will be landed into
the dog pound, out of which. $Ee own
er will experience considerable trouble
in getting his dog. wt.-.
The police say that this dog muz1
zmg business is no bluff. That the
ordinance means just what ft says
and that they are going to do just
what the ordinance says. This
means: "That all dogs have got to
wear muzzle"
There will be no discrimination. The
dogs of the rich and the poor alike
must wear the muzzle and where the
dog fails to do it, in the pound he
goes, and if not redeemed or purchased
by enother. he will be shot.

ment to
Bill Nye
The suggestion of a monument to
Bill .Nye has been widely approved.
The Woman's National Daily says:
Nye's wish it is said, was that his
grave at Arden should remain un
marked, save by the great granite
boulder, unadorned which rests above
it. But it is regarded as appropriate
that, at Raleigh, the State capital, or
somewhere else, a shaft should be
reared as the tangible evidence of the
essem in which the State's illustri
ous adopted son was held. This seems
just and fitting. Thousands of men
and women in the United States would
regard it a privilege to air such a
movement."
