THELY0N COUNTY TIMES
A MIDNIGHT SENSATION IN
KANSAS CITY.

Hovelman's store, on East Eight
eenth street, few nights ago. An
aged couple and bull dog reside
there. and on the evening in ques-
ton the peace and quiet of the trio
were disturbed by the aggressions OF
a yagrant COW that " hooked" upon
the gate and entered the enclosure.
The old gentleman heard the noise
made by the COW, jumped out OF
bed, grabbed his cane, loosed Tiger,
and attacked the COW. Now this
COW had had a varied experience
with al, sorts of dogs throughout
the city, and was especially pro-
fcient in the art of handling bull
dog. So, just as the said bovine
efted Tiger high in the air with her
horns, and whisked out the gate
with the old man still hanging to
her caudal appendage, and beating
her to his hearts content with his
heavy cane. The old man and the
COW went flying down the street,
and Tiger, after turning somersault
or two in the air. came down ker-
souse into the cistern in the yard,
the top of which was open.
IL.
Now, the old lady, noticing that
the noise in the yard had ceased,
and wondering at the prolonged alb
sence of her husband, stepped out
into the yard to see what was the
matter. She heard a splashing of
the water in the cistern, and horror
of horrors, she thought it was the
old man.
Yell! we'll, her shrieks would
have drowned out the sound of
Gabriel's trumpet, had that angel
entered into competition with her.
The neighbors, alarmed at her cries,
gathered around her at once, and in
quite crowd. my husbands in
the cistern!" she cried. L" He can't
swim,p I" Oh, he'll be drowned"
and away went two or three for
ladder. The ladder was brought,
placed in the cistern, and man
descended, just as the old gentleman
rushed in at the gate. He had
heard block or two away, as he
was returning from his chase after
the COW, that some one had fallen
into the cistern at his house, and he
believed it was his wife, for who else
could be about there. Seeing the
crowd of sparsely dressed neighbors
around the cistern the old lady had
swooned away by this time and
been carried into the house,, he ran
into the crowd crying in the greatest
agony, "Save her! for Gods sake
Oh, my poor wife "Save the
ID" exclaimed three or four in a
BREATH" "your wife says that you
are in the cistern."
By this time the old lady had
recovered sufficiently to resume her
hysterical screaming again, and
commenced yelling at greater rate
than ever, just as the man who went
down into the cistern crawled out
and exclaimed, "Its nothing but
that id dog!"
The night was cold, the neighbors
had not taken time to dress, and
their bodies were cold as their in
dignation was warm when they
learned what had disturbed their
rest and dragged them from their
beds at such an untimely hour of the
night. They had one consolation,
however-Tiger was as dead dog
as ever breathless lay.-Kansas CITY

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THIEVES.

10 the Editor of Tie Chicago tribune:
S1R: Familiar as persons are. or At least Eup-
pose themselves to be, with their own property,
how often ia it the case when articles Of jewel1y
and wearing apparel arc stolen, that
the owner is unable to intelligently de-
scribe or recognize them. Now, this
difficulty might be, in great measure, obvi-
ated by the following means: Let the owner
make out q written description Of the article.
and lay it carefully aside for reference. II
it be watch, take it to your ieweler, and have
him give you such an accurate written
description as will enable you to identify it in
case Of theft or loss. Most jewellers keep q
record OF the number, ETC., Of the watches re-
paired for their customers. II persons who have
lost watches had gone to their jewelers., they
would doubtless have obtained such descrip-
ton Of their property is would have enabled
detectives to reBtore 1t. Another plan for per-
Sons who own ornaments is to place them to-
gether in case Or tray, and take them to =
gallery to be photographed In casa Of theft,
these photographs, or copies thereof, with
written descriptions, could be furnished to de-
tectivee, jewelers., and pawn-brokers, with al
most certainty Of Identification and recovery.
The above simple and inexpensive precautions,
applicable to mnny kinds OF property, would
save someifami1es thousands OF dollars. B. @.

sm: The present temperance agitation ia 4

es Of the American people are waking up, ~ a
people, to take an interest in their own affairs.

their small pay, they have not exterminated
guilt and disorder.
It is bright and happy thought, indeed, that

in behalf Of order and morality.
