A Faithful Dog.

The Taylor family, so cruelty muir
dured by the ghouls at AvOndale,
owned dog, not a h-priced or any
way extraordinary specimen. but an
ordinary cur. 1t was of large size,
and black as its master, to whom it
was deeply attached The morning
after the fire and murder it was OBJ
served prOwling about the ruins as
though in search of someone. All
efforts to drive it away proved futile,
and rs night came on it crouched
down by what was left of the hut and
hOwled mournfully as its master
failed to appear. This programme
was kept up from day TO day, and the
poor brute not only refused to leave
the place, but also declined to eat the
food placed before it by sympathizing
spectators.
Thursday afternoon Corporal Benia-
min III. Stottman of the lst regiment
O. n. g., and Frank Hartmann went
out to the Taylor place. They found
the dog still faithfully at its post, but
so weak from its long fast that it could
hardly stand. With pitiful cries,
sounding almost like those of a child,
tnc poor Drute aug IN the ashes with
its paws. Then it dragged itself to
the chicken-cOop and looked inside,
and then to a pile of Taylor's old
clothes that had not been burned. Its
mournful hOwls were increased as it
threw itself upon and paved over
these rags. Meat was offered the suf-
fering animal, but refused and as it
was plain to be seen that it could only
live short time, the visitors decided
to end its misery. No one present had
revolver, and consequently the purp
could not be shot. Finally IA rope was
found. and one end fastened about the
beasts neck; to the other end was at
tached II large stone, and the dog,
rope, and stone were thrown into Il
well near the house. A splash of
water, Il few bubbles of air rising up
through it, and the dog Was gone

Kansas Crops.

Says Topeka special TO the Kansas
CITY Jourudl: j. NJ Mcfarland. the
Kansas statistical agent, has just for
warded to Washington, carefully pre-
pared tables of the corn and wheat
crops of 1888, the amounts on hand at
{ Ctime, the amounts consumed at
h )n.e. and that sent abroad, and the
number Of bushels of sound or mer-
chantable corn produced in 1888. The
price of understandable corn on March
1. 1884. for the state, was 80 cents per
bushcl and of understandable rs
cents. The proportion of merchant
able corn in the crop of 1888, in Kan
sas, is much larger than it has ever
been before. The average for series
of years is "a per cent, while last year
it was about 81 per cent. Many farm
crs are still holding corn for an ad-
vance in price. The price is now 10c
per bushel in advance of what it was
at harvest time, and holders confident
ly predict an advance of far much
more, before the surplus begins to
move. There have been no instances
of stock dying from eating unsound
corn, but many correspondents report
ueatnS an%nP CaUJlc, OccaSlOncu DV
their eating too heartily of dry stalks.
The average weight per bushel' of the
wheat crop of 1888 is 56 pounds, this
beng one and one-fourth pounds be-
low the average of 1888. Cheering re-
ports come from all sections of the
state as to the appearance of the win
ter wheat and rye. Both cereals passed
through the winter in good condition,
and timely rains now will almost in
sure good crops.
From Mr.. McFarland's tables the
following figures for the entire state
are taken:

A PGacN-MakHr.

The citizens of Chicago are very
sorry to notice the feeling against that
city that is exhibited by ST. Louis citi-
;ens, and they would do anything to
put stop to the sparring between the
two cities. When Il number of the
Chicago citizens get together they talk
it over, and all admit that if united
effort was made by citizens of both
places, and an understanding arrived
at, there would be no more hard feel
ing, as all realize that there should be
no antagonism between cities so near
together, and whose interests are so
nearly identical. The recent defeat of
st. Louis by Chicago in securing the
democratic national convention has
brought the matter before the people,
and at recent gathering at club it
was suggested that whenever a Chi
cagO citizen was in st. Louis it was his
duty to mingle pretty freely with the
people and try and overcome the pref
udice, SO that there might in future be
no antagonism. One old fellow was
greatly taken with the idea, and he
said he was going down to st. Louis in
Il day or two, and he should make a
point of doing all he could to heal up
the wounds. He returned on Tuesday.
but did not show up at the club till
Thursday evening, and rs his coach
man helped him up the steps, into the
reception room, and helped him off
with his coat, the club members
gathered around him. He had one
arm in sling. one eye was bandaged,
his nose looked as though it had been
run into somebody eise's business, one
ear hung by Il small piece, and was
stuck on by court plaster, several of
his front teeth were gone, his chin
whiskers were pulled out, and there
was u lump on his head as big as a
goose egg. Some one asked him if he
had been in IA railroad accident, and
he looked up with the eye that was
whole, and said
''Wuss n.r that, gentlemen. | have
been to st. Louis. just lift my sprain-
ed leg up on that chair little. There,
that will do. You see, being down
there on business on the board of trade
| thought would try and say few
words that might tend to make people
there see that there was nothing mean
about Chicago, SO when the boys went
out to lunch near the board of trade, l
went along, and about forty of us were
standing up TO the bar, SO l opened OF
'cm. told them l was from Chicago,
and we did not as IA people have any
hard feelings toward st. Lolis, because
our town was the biggest and did four
times as much business as they did.

1t may be just exactly as you say, young man,
but, remember, the man who thinks the world
owes him a living will find that his claim will
go unpaid unless he takes off his coat rolls up
his sleeves and pitches in to earn it. You will
have to work hard for all you get in this world,
and the sooner you make up your mind to this
fact the better it will be for you and the greater
will be your success.-Peck'S San.
