Dogs in the Great Storm.
IOmaha Herald.

IOnidud ilcIdiu.i
The recent storm upon the plains wasper-
haps, the most severe ever known. On the
morning of the storm two freighters, Mr.
James McDermott and companion. started
from camp Robinson for Sidney with their
teams. They soon were lost and became
separated. and last Saturday Mr.. McDermott
was found under the following circumstances:
He had wandered for twelve days, accom-
panied by two dogs, without food OF any
kind. exposed to the storm day and night,
sleeping without shelter, on covering on the
cold g1ound, and had wasted away 10 mere
skeleton. To add to his sutferings, one day
he saw near him some COW boys, but was too
weak to call loud enough to attract their at
tention, and like shipwrecked seaman who
sees q sail approach, but before it comes
within hailing distance bears away again and
disappears, he saw them pass from him. On
last SATURDAY. these same COW boys heard a
faint barking or yelping like that of dogs,
and following the sound they came to them.
The dogs were also reduced to skeletons. and
scarcely had strength to stand, being In the
last stages of starvation. The cow boys
threw them some meat, but instead of eating
itthem selves, they picked it up in their
mouths, got on their trembling limbs. and
tried to carry it to their master. And thus
he was found. The fact that the dogs re-
fused to eat the meat given them, although
they were dying of starvation, but attempted
to carry it too their furnishing master, is
testified to by men of unimpeachable vera
city,
Mr. McDermott was carried to Sidney,
where he il under care of the post surgeon,
with fair prospects of recovering, although
badly frozen, while the dogs have been cared
for at camp near where they were found.
McDermott, in his weak state, talks con-
stantly of his dogs, and begs for them y be
brought to his bedside, which wish will be
pratified soon. Many things connected with
the great storm will doubtless long be re-
membered, and the stories told around many
a campfire; but we predict that the one long
est remembered and oftenest repeated VIII
be the story of the two dogs who, when dying
with hunger. and the food in their mouths,
refused to eat, but tried to carry it to their
starving master.

q chance Of descending alone, ahead of

The company accordingly assembled
on one OF the platforms, and I took nv
place once more on the brink with my
fearless passenger before me. The sup
pressed laughter and the mischief spark
ling in everybody's eye might have warn
ed me that some plot was atoot, but I'M
suspectingly and carefully launched my
sled. Exactly what followed | cannot
tell, and would not care to enlarge upon
if could. In less than second we had
reached the level, and there my sled
struck broomhandle, or something of
the sort, and with jump seemed to fly
from under US, while we glided a piece
down the track on our own responsibility
my companion clinging to me Tor dear
life; and then there came shock, and
then another, and don't know how many
more, until the whole scene was exceed
ingly shocking; for as each succeeding
sled dumped its load over US, the con-
fused mass of laughing and squirming
bodies became more bewildering, and the
placid moon grinned down upon a sight
it IS TO be hoped not often enjoyed by the
chaste Diana's symbol. At last every
body succeeded in extricating his or her
own robes and furs and oyershoes and
limbs, and something like order and pro-
priety was once more restored; but the
mere consciousness of my apotess inno-
cence did not save me from being accused
by all parties as the author of what they
pleased to call shocking mishap.''
Though very much bewildered and con-
fused, had in my mind one clear idea
that was not destined to shine in that
peculiar institution of Russian society,
the katok.''

Divorces in R0umania.

A Bucharest correspondent of the Lon
don Times says divorces are extremely
common there, and considered as one Oh
the usual attendants of society. The
Roumanians say that some men and their
wives will always quarrel, and sometimes
separate. This happens in all countries;
therefore it is better to part quietly ana
remain good frisnGs, so to speak, than 70
live in continual wrangling, or separate
after divorce suit and part enemies Tor

A Tenor Calls 4" Encore"

He was tenor singer in one of the
opera companies that visited Cincinnati
this season He was a good singer, and
everything he sang the audience, with
that determination to get the full value
of their money and little more, which
Is popularity of Cincinnati audiences at
an opera or concert always insisted upon
an encore. And he responded good ma
taredly, although he thought it a little
hard to be compelled to perform double the
work set down ON the bills every night
One day while promenading Fourth
street it occurred to him TO do little
epcoring himself and see how it worked
He stepped into hat store and inquired
of the proprietor, who came forward to
wait upon HIM, the price of silk hat.
" Seven dollars" was the reply. He
selected one that fitted him and paid for
it, then he shouted: Encore! encore =
"What do you meanf' inquired the
proprietor in amazement
9 mean that / want another hat"
Certainly" said the proprietor, as he
placed duplicate upon the counter,
wondered what the man wanted with two
hats.
The tenor picked them both up and
started for the door.
Hold on" cied the halter, "you
didn't pay for that other hat
But | paid for the first one, and the
other is an encore" replied the tenor
Seeing that the man OF hats, caps and
furs failed to comprehend, he said:
II think | saw you at the oprea last
nightl'
"Yes, | was there But | don't see
what that has t. do with you paying me
for

opera given that was on the programmed

song that | sang / was called upon to re
peat, and If L am not mistaken you
clapped harder than any one else in the
theater And l had to give you double
the amount of goods that you had paid
for, don't you seer
The hat-store man did see by that tine,
and he said to the tenor: II acknowledge
the corn, you can take my hat" but he
wouldn't, he only took the one he had
paid for and with feeling of satisfaction
that he had impressed lessen upon one
Cincinnati man who would encore every
thing, he walked out and with a genial
smile pursued the even tenor of his way
