A Dog Story.

A canine tragedy occurred OH Chest
nut street, above Fortieth. A young
lady, daintily wrapped in furs, was trip
ping along toward the park, and at her
heels was an exceedingly handsome pug
dog, with snout of exceptional tip
tiltedness and tail of corkScrew perfec-
ton. The petted animal was amply
protected from the weather by a warm
body-coat of thick cloth, trimmed with
blue, while collar Of silver, vi h jing-
ling bells, adorned his bull-like neck.
A large dog of the retriever species ap-
preached in the opposite direction. lie
had particularly blackguard demeanor.
His back was coated with mud aud his
eyes cleaned with general depravity.
He looked what he evidently was, a vag-
abond, ownerless dog In search of a bone,
He, however, made friendly overtures 10
the aristocratic pug, which were repnlsed
with growl and disdaiuful snap. The
vagabond lost his temper. He seized
the dog by one of his minute ears, aid
a chorus of barks and growls from the
canine and screams from the far owner
filed the air The gagabond evidently
had fell and sinister intents he relaxed
his hold on the pug's ear and took firm
grip of the pug's tail, and before he could
be driven away by valiant Press re-
porter who came to the rescue of the
wailing young lady aud her pet, tlle can
nibal canine bit off the curled caudal APP
pendage of his tiny victim, and ran at
full speed with the Topped limb in his
mouth. The unhappy damsel lifted her
wounded dumb friend from the ground
and fastened toward 6 neighboring drug
store. The reporter, seeing that his
services could be of no further avail. got
into street car driving in the direction
taken by the vilfainous retriever. and in
a few minutes he drove past that disrep-
utabie animal crouched in a well-pro-
tected corner, with the remains Of the
pug's tail between his paws, upon which
he was finishing his New Years dinner
with evident relish PHILADELPHIA

built In his own barnyard a tank into
which was conducted the wash from
stable, pigpen and yard. Once or twice
per week this was pumped up and dis
tributed over the manure heap and over
a huge pile of leaves, the whole mass
being saturated with liquid manure and
never allowed to become dry. In the
spring both heaps were found to be re-
duced to half-huid mass. The effects

TauE ROSE AND THE wAIF.


The people were hurryiDg homeward,
The shops looked CHEEKY and bright
AS the twilight crept over the city
With , dusky lingering light,
Casting blurring shadow
Over the ceaseless throng
Passing and j0stiing each other,
Resistlessly sweeping along.
And the ring of horses feet
Broke sharp on the frosty air
AS away carriage ratified
Or stoppedin the shop-hght glare,
And perhaps woman in trailing silk
Would step from the carrisge door,
With faint sweet trace of perfume
As she hurried into the store.
Brightly the lighted hower-shop
SlIonc into the dusky street,
Its gbttering windows beautiful
With the flowers gay and sweet.
Aud close TO the shining window
little girl, poor and thin,
With her wistful eyes stood gazing
At the falry-land within;
Her little arms huddled together,
Her fingers so cold and blue,
Motionless still as the night drew on,
Chilling her through and through.
Ulstered, and furred, and coy,
man was passing the shop;
But glimpse Of the face so wistfu
Moved him to turn and stop.
And sorrowful wave Of pity
Swept over his heart at the sight
OF the little creature standing there
So wan in the golden light
Then, swiftly going toward her,
He touched her fingers blue;
And what do you want, my little one?
And what can do for your"
Almost guilty starting,
Though CHEEKY and warm his tone,
She looked with fierce and distrustful eyes
In the kind ones bent to her own
And then, in tone of defiance,
With a shake of her little head:
" What want is one of them roses,
So big, and so warm, and SO red!"
"You poor little thing " He took her hand,
And led her into tks store;
Now choose for yourself the prettiest one,"
He SAID, as they closed the door.
How she clasped the rose that he gave her,
With a rapture before unknownl
How the great dark hungry eyes
With happy wonder shone!
He left her and, needless of all around,
Out in the cold she went,
And her life was no longer bitter,
But sweet with the rose it blent
Wandering ON in fairy dream,
Happy and glad at heart,
Till-sharp was the shout of warning
Which turned her back with startl
Tighter slIe clasped her precious rose,
Close to her heart twas pressed;
The feCr that the flower would be taken away
Was the terror that filled her breast.
And back the ran in frightened way,
Unheeding the wilder call,
Right under the feet Of the startled steeds-.
cry-and that was all.
White and etill in the turbulent street,
still clasping the rose she lay
The rose that Just the space of a dream
Had banshed hfe's sadness away.

Sugar and spice'
dnd al things rice,

anyhow" sang May, getting out the
stew kettle =; land eggs. And Mary
always does her best cooking by guess !;
I've heard her say so.
There was a little fire in the stove !;
they made a big one. They put in the
pumpkin, with great deal of water, in
the stew-kettle, and set it on the stove.
And then, because it did not stew all
over in o minute, they filed the stove
with wood and went out TO play.
When they went in again the wood
had burned out. There was a queer
smell in the kitchen, and when they
looked in the stew-kettle they saw lit
tie dark-colored heap which didn't ok a
bit, May decided, like Mary's stewed
pumpkin.
P'raps we ought to have peeled it, :"
said she. "Anyhow, the waters all out
of it, and that's one comfort. They
took spoons and scraped the funny
smelling stuff out of the kettle into
pan. Then they went to the sugar bucket
and guessed at the sugar. They forgot
the colendar they forgot the eggs;
they forgot the milk. and they nearly
forgot tine crust.
"But [ can fix that In minute. "
said May, "and you be stirring In the
sugar, Pink p
So Pink took the spoon and stirred
and May got -four and water, and mixed
them together in bowl, and then
scraped the mixture out upon the
molding- board, just as she'd seen Mary
do 6 time n time n again.
But something was the matter. Never
pie-crust chung to Mary's fingers as this
to Mays.
It was done at last, however, and
rolled out, and spread on a plate after a
very funny fashion. May put her small
arms akimbo and contemplated her work
with great satisfaction for moment be-
fore cloud arose.
True's you live, Pink, I've forgot tc
spread on butter. Mary always spreads
Gu butter"
Never mind" said happy Pink /;
"we1l put In lots of spice p
So they went to the spice drawers
and guessed at the spice-cinnamon,
Glove, allspice, ginger, and a whole
nutmeg.
H-e-p-p-e-f Spelled FINK, from
one of the drawers. Is that spice,
May ?"
May pulled open the drawer. ST

Said Neptune,
g To have a calm ocean,"
And with a calm motion
He stilled the commotion,
And made a calm ocean.

Said the whale,
" To have connection !"
And then with his tail
He broke the calm ocean
'Twas not a calm motion),

Her future will be as bright as heart
could wish il our desires are realized.
She is worthy in every respect.
Nor the least Of the evidences of pros
perity on Puget Sound is the fact that
steamboat travel and transportation are
multiplying at remarkable rate. Old
steamers are being replaced by new ones
and small boats are being exchanged for
those of larger capacity, We who have
lived here continuously do not observe
the rapidity of commercial growth in this
direction half so rapidly as do those who
return after ever so short an absence.
And the past is but faint picture OF the
future. The man who leaves Puget
Sound today and returns ten or fifteen
years hence will be lost when he again
finds himself on our shores. In that
time towns will have doubled their size,
and corresponding changes will have
been made in all directions.

officer who measured the new bark Hes
per, launched yesterday at Port Blake
ley by the Hall Brothers, we learn that
the vessel registers 66419 tons, and that
she is a beauty, costing about $45,OOO,
Capt. Ryder, so well known on Puget
Sound, is part owner of the new vessel,
and is in command. Hall Brothers have
done themselves credit, and Capt. Ryder
can justly feel proud of his new craft.
She is owned almost entirely by Puget
Sound people, among whom are: Geo.
Harris, of Seattle, Louis Poole, of Port
