FINE ART JN REPORTING Speclmeat of Descriptive Wrltlag with BelchlnsT Etaa far a abject. Mr. Rudyard Kipling aays somewhere that he traveled half around the world to got from a man who had gone down on the deck of a sinking ship a descrip tion of how the water looked when It olosed In above the bulwarks. As we re member It, he found that the line of glit tering water broke like a taut banjo string. In vivd minutiae of this character the art of descriptive writing haa one of its strongholds. From Sicily we have had gan aral accounts of the eruption of Etna, but the details which might paint the picture before our mind's eye have not been plent ful. Consider how clearly the following paragraphs from the special correspondence of the London Dally News make it all stand forth: "Having turned two red, bare, oonloal hills, which overlook Nioolosi, you come In sight of the flank of Etna. Tha mountain. In the fadlna lia-ht of tha wn. Is a picture of white and pearly toncat a strangely soft pink hue In the middle. where the flames of the chief oratar show. It seems Impossible thst ruin and death can come from that high and lovely altar. "You see a subtle red line flowing down the side of the mountain like a luminous stream; then near the valley It changes color until it hardens and darkens like an ugly heap of eoals midway. The stream at first threatened Nicolosl, but then it turned In another direction. "The lava advances slowly, and looks like a moving wall. It ts curious to see how it deals with the obstacles It meets on Its way. I saw two stone huts carried away for several yards like boats; then suddenly they were engulfed by the mol ten torrent. Trees stem to feel the near lng of the lava just as dogs aad horses feel the Imminence of earthquake. They creak. twist their leaves, give out their gray sap In a sort of perspiration; then, when the lava Is on them, you see a flash and noth ing mora." If this Is not an example of the busi ness of reporting transmuted Into a fine art, we greatly miss our guess. Chicago Post- Tatar Defeats Haao!sb. TABOR. la-, July J-Special Tele gram.)

GOLD TT.AT SIGNS AND MANSIONS Osre a Side Issue te Livery Stables, the Aalmal Healer Is Now a Very Dignified Profes sloaal Maa. "Hello, hello, ls this Dr. Binks? Tes. doctor, our dog ls sick seems to have fever wish you'd come over right away. All right, gooa-bye." This alleged fragment from telephone con versation is a myth. That is. no such con versation actually occurred in so many worda Tet, for the purpose of Illustrating the growing fad for giving medical atten tion to dogs. It is herein set forth and, after all, there isn't so very much ex aggeration about 1L The rapid Increase of veterinary prac tice in this country within thelast dozen years is well worth a passing thought. Not so very long ago, when the family dog fell 111, he was left to get well aa best he could. Of course, everybody was sorry If Bowser had distemper that's the only name dog disease used to have but there was never a thought of calling a doctor. Now-a-days, dogs have long latinegque names for their ailments, much after the fashion of men and women, and the mo ment Fldo shows symptoms of uneasy feel ing, straightway goes a telephone call to ! the doctor. The practice of the old-time veterinarian was limited mainly to horses. Moreover, the o. t. veterinarian conducted his prac tice aa a side issue, for there was seldom enough of it to yield a living alone. Some times he was also a proprietor of a livery stable, or, perhaps, he owned a feed store. He might have one professional call a month or he might have two, but certain It' was that day after day brought no call at all. ' Now witness tha changel Tour veterinary surgeon la no longer the keeper of a foed store. Neither does he operate a livery stable. Instead, he has an offloe down town and a classy residence out on the hiil. A gold leaf sign of dignified design attached to residence front proclaims the profession of the dweller therein, and on the wall there hangs a berlbboned diploma attesting that Dr. Hoandso has finished his veterinary course and that he went forth from his alma mater with cum laude li cense to make sick animals well. The vet erinarian of today is on the ascendency. Tear by year, his profession yes, it la clearly a profesaslon now becomes more remunerative and more dignified. The dog population of Omaha and other cities Is perhaps no greater than It was ten years ago. But be that aa It may, the owners of dogs are more prosperous than they ever were before, and it is therefore easy, since the doctor idea Is so firmly set, for the veterinarian to make his fee. One veterinarian who lives In a tid.0M home In the Walnut Htn district told a Bee reporter that he averaged from six to ten dog calls a day. From I1.M to 12.60 per call is the average fee. owing to distance and the nature of tha case, so It will be seen at this rate that there Is good money In being a veterinarian. And here's another feature of veterinary practice that la well worth consideration: The doctor who watts on your sick child ls expected to say nothing about his bill for at least a month or two, but the man who rushes out to see Fldo finds nothing In his code of ethics to prevent him from collecting his fee then and there. So, with dogs coming down with clrocls of the liver, fatty degeneration of the heart, mitral regurgitation, lumbago, Brlght's disease, anlna pectoris, locomotor ataxia and other complaints, why shouldn't the dog doctor live In a ie,0W house? Atteatlaa, Ladle. In the Ragged mountains of Virginia dwell a primitive folk who. It is said live mostly on wild berries and philanthropic old women.
