SuccOred by his Dogs

From the Omaha Herald
lhe recent storm upon the plains was,
perhaps the most severe ever known
On the morning of the storm two freight
ers, Mr.. James McDermott and compan-
ION, started from Camp Robinson for
sidney With their teams. They soon
were lost and became separated, and on
last Saturday, Mr.. McDermott was found
under the following circumstances: He
had wandered for twelve DAYS, accomp-
anied by two dogs, without food of any
kind, exposed to the storm day and night.
sleeping without shelter or covering on
the ground, and had wasted away to a
mere skeleton To add to his sufferings,
one day he saw near him some COW BOYS,
but was too weak to call loud enough to
attract their attention, and, like ship
wrecked seaman who sees sail approach,
but before it come within hailing dis
lance 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 starva-
rion. The COW boys threw them some
meat, but instead of eating it themselves
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 refused
to eat the meat given, although they
g'ere dying of starvation, but attempted to
carry it to their furnishing master, is ties

tsement in some thirty standard weeklies, and

Do they expect people to take the offer? Any
one acquainted with the high rates of these
standard weekles can see that the thing is
ridiculous. Rowell s. Co. must know very
well that acceptances of the offer would be so
many items to charge to profit and loss We
retract our insinuation about their ignorance
Of that London story. They probably know
1t too well, and are shrewd enough, by taking
advantage of that human trait at which the
story hits, to make stroke for fame as men
of startling liberality, and at the same time
run no risk of pecunary loss.

Flirting

Girls are sometimes admonlshed not to
flirt because, however pleasant it might
be to them, it might break the hearts of
those with whom they flirt, Nonsense.
We have heard of victims of blighted
affection, out never yet came across one.
Time, in this sort of matters works Won
ders. We doubt whether any man ever
yet died of broken h3rat. Men are
more vain than women. There are eX-
ceedingly few of them who are not flat
tered by the idea of a woman falling in
love with them. The lady for the mo-
ment affords them THIS qualification of
self-loye. She makes herself as agree
able as she can. If the vanity OF the man
leads him TO believe that she has fallen
victim to his charms, this is his fault.
The illusion has raised HIM to the
seventh heaven for briet period
and if the period be short he has
been the gamer. In one of DeBernard' S
novels he describes an old captain who
lives very happy because he fancies that,
years ago some girl died of broken hea rt
because he declined to marry her. He
carries about her portrait, and on al
occasions pulls it out and weeps over it.
One day, however, he meets the girl, who
had not died, but had married grocer.
who forgot all about the captain. He is
in despair. He can no longer indulge in
the luxury ofgIieving over the sad fate
of the object of his youthful affections,
Flirt on, young, ladies, and do not i'm
agine that the amusement will break the
heart of any one 1t may wound his
vanity, and where this is the only quality
the man has, the blow nay staoger him.
But it will do him good-show him his
real selfishness. So firt on, young ladies,
but at the same time temper the blow TO
the tenderness of the youth who is to re
ceive it.-B0U Bells.

the tub and artistically turned it down
over the sides, completely covering them
down to the floor. Another Alsatian then
made his entry, bearing in each hand a
large iron bucket FURNISHED on the in
terror like silver, filled with boiling water
clear as crystal, ON the surface of which
floated round piece of wood to prevent
the water from stopping over on the stairs
The two then descended to the court
yard and replenished the buckets with
hot water from the cask on wheels which
they had brought with them. This was
repeated and then cold water was added

He placed the floating thermometer in
the water, and it stood up showing forty
degrees. THAT is good" said he; az

He placed on a chair, near to the tub a
metal box eighteen inches squarean d six
inches high, in which were six heavy
linen towels and large wrapner OF the

My mothers voice, soft, sweet and low
My mothers voice, all well know
Its cadence dear.

His homeward flight, and softly sings
A plaintive song,
Then memory waves her magic wand,
And summons from the silent land
Dear ones long gone.
Again stand by mothers knee,
Again her sainted face see,
As in a dream:
Then asks my heart, with voice OF tears,
For her; alas the sad, sad years
Lie dark between.

On wings of light cleave realms OF time,
Come thou to me

That may look on thy dear face,
One moment see,
As once / saw, thy tender eyes,
That know not tears in Paradise,
Grieyed no more.

Thy songs Goat DER
That lonely river deep and wide,
Which darkly rolls its Stygisn tide
From shore to shore;
Silent and deep through lonely years,
Swollen with bitter farewell tears

Till in that grand, immortal sphere,
Where sorrows cease,
We meet and:on thy loving breast
Ny weary head shall be at rest
In perfect peace.

Napoleon and Nine. Recamier.

woman should for an instant distract
the aduiring gaze from him, he cast up
on her q glance so stern that she sank

confusion. Being present at the trial of
General Moreau, he demanded so angrily

Food For Canary Birds. People who
keep canary birds may grow nearly all
the seed the birds require by
sowing small patch of Millet. The
birds will do well on this with little
hemp and poppy seed for change. The
latter with the Alillet are imported and
are expensive, costing from ten to fifteen
cents pound retail. The aggregate con
sumption in this country amounts to
many tons in q year.
