A Tln-Clad Dog.

In these times of mad dogs, one which
got his head iRto tin jar few nights
ago at the residence of w. T. Chandler,
Beaver Valley, Del, was the maddest of
all, but happily he was not mad from an
attack of hydrophobia. Spooking around
Mr. Chambers back yard, he found in an
open summer kitchen tall tin jar, with
something in the bottom which made him
thrust his head in a considerable distance
to reach the palatable morsel at the bot
tom, which we believe, was potato yeast
Probably not from the effects of t4e yeast,
but from some cause, the dogs head from
the nose to behind the ears grew so large
that the can pesisted upon remaining on
his head. When the dog found that he
was fairly caught and not being able to
howl himself, he commenced series of
gymnastics that made more noise than
half dozen dogs. He tugced at the can
with his feet, he snorted anu sneezed and
would have growled if he could, he rolled
over on his back, stood upon his hind feet,
| and shook himself, but that can was
thar" and he could not remove it. TAX
ing cruise around the I'd he jabbed
the big end Of his tin elongation against
the yard fence, Jam med through bunch
of dahlias, swept down swath through
the potato patch, and emerging to the
onion bed he took roll in it, and
comming back to the open kitchen again
he sent the breakfast table hors dc CON-
bat, legs upwards. By this time Mr..
Chandler had so far recovered from the
tears ingendered by the terrible racket
below, that he ventured from his bed to
see what was the matter. Opening the
kitchen door, the dog hearing a noise
made bounce in that direction, almost
ramming the bottom Of his tin can that
stuck to him sclose~ than a brother" into
Mr.. G. s face. Frightened for the in
slant at such queer kind of an animal.
Mr.. Chandler shut the tin-headed beast
out, but after moments consideration,
he grasped the situation and boldly went
out and grasped that tin can, and with a
dcxterous effort he threw the fuzzy end
of it over the fence, but held on to the
tin end. The dog pulled and Mr.. Chand-
lor pulled, and at last the separation
came, Mr.. G. performing somersault on
one side of the fence and the dog at the

The summer sun is on the trses
And MT a path is shady;
You sit within the porch to read,
A very dainty lady.
And is't'a poem ma es you grave,
Or just an old love-story
OF maiden bright, and valiant knight
Who rides away to glory?
know the kind of story we'll:
The maiden's hair is golden,
The knight wears armor as they did
In days we now call olden.
They make their VOWS by moonlight, dear
In language rather stilted,
And then she pines alone for months,
And wonders if she's Tilted.
But he comes gaily back, to find
She is of maids the truest,
And lovlier far than maidens are
With even eyes the bluest-
Not lovlier, sweet, than you to-day,
With sunshine Oh your bower,
A leafy nook, in which you look
The very :fairest flower.
Would mil ht read the story, too,
And chat with you about it;
Perhaps it's just as well I can't
Indeed, I do not doubt it.
Apretty picture, dear, you make,
And in my heart I'll frame it;
do not know what your called,
And so ] cannot nameit.

A Practical Sweetheart.

A nice young man employed in the
Kansas Pacific Office resolved the other
Gay to present his beloved girl with
nice pair of shoes. He accordingly pro-
cured her measure and went into one of
the fashionable stores on Main street and
purchased two-dollar pair Of shoes. In
order to make the present appear more.
valuable he marked five dollars upon the
soles of The shoes. and at his request the
clerk put a receipted bill for FIVE dollars
into one of the shoes. The presentation
was made, and the lovers were happy. "a
lovers should be-. But mark the SEQUEL.
The girl examined the shoes in the day-
light and was not satisfied. She was con-
vinced that her lover had been cheated in
the purchase of such pair of shoes at
that price. She decided to go and change
the shoes and obtain better bargain.
Yesterday she appeared in the store and
selected pair Of shoes, price $3 so, and
politely requested the clerk to take back
the shoes for which she said her husband
had paid five dollars. The receipted bill
was produced in proof, and the boot man
found it impossible TO go ..behini the re-
turns The smart girl took Ter $3.50
pair OF shoes, and obtained $3.50 in
money, and went home happy and salts

ooiiars to the young man, who promptly
pald the difference, but he thinks that
