A Lost Dog.

An incident in the life of a small,
coarse colley dog was noted with great
interest yesterday by residents in the
vicinity of Oakland Station, ON the ILL
nois Central Railroad. Early in the
morning the dog followned its owner to
the station, and after vain attempt to
board the train conveying him to the
city took his seat on bench outside
the wall There all day the animal re-
manned patiently awaiting his owners
return. The children in the neighbor-
hood remarked the little fellow and
made friends with him, but no coaxing
of theirs could induce him to leave the
bench. Several sympathetic women
joined their efforts to the children's,
but obtained only such thanks as dog
could give for their pains. He held up
his paw to shake to several, looked
wistfully with his large brown eyes at
all his inquiry for his MASTER but re-
fused to quit the bench. Each train
that passed the dog mounted on the
wall and closely scrutinized and seeing
not the face he looked for resumed his
attitude of patient waiting. Food and
water Were taken to him, but he refused
both. The afternoon gradually mar
rowed and the dog still waited and
watched, and darkness fell and the
lake hreezes grew chill, still chung to
his post. Businessmen, not a few of
whom their wives and children had in
terested in the faithful animal, stopped
to pat him, but no inducement could
draw him from the bench. Late last
night the dog was still there listening
with wagging tail to the praise of a
man who declared that he wouldn't t
take hundred dollars for such a dog.
1t is to be hoped before these lines are
many hours old he will have been re-
stored to his owner

rolled in from the ocean and deluged
the place. Thousands were swept

The Divided Skirt q Failure.

have made downright serious trial
of the divided skirt as invented and
recommended by Lady Haberton. A
set of the garments was brought to
America by Mrs. King, secretary of the
Rational Dress Association, who has
ridden her hobby astride from England
to America. The Haberton idea con-
sists of skirt separated practically
into two skirts for its entire length, and
the whole covered clear out of sight

to the outside observer there is nothing

drapery, the thing was put to a trial
that found it wanting. One hand,
reaching back for grip, wouldn't ac-
complish the purpose at all. Nothing
smaller than the hand of providence
would suffice to get hold of both di-
visions at once, and the alternative was

before her, and executed that part of

pitcher with water, and, making him

poured it over his head.
Then we each filled it in turn and
poured it over his head and down his

ened out, and no two hairs were lying

"Now, SIR" said Vestella, '.you can
sign this confession, and then go down
the way you came up. You are good
pathfinder, and hope you will not get
caught again. Tell your comrades that
you found the tall fierce one wide

He crept to the window.
We followed him to the balustrade,
saw him reach the ground and run
nimbly down the lawn.

little more than an hour.

Bashful Men and Rich Girls.

1t would seem that there are many
nice girls signing for husbands who can
not get them, and for the one reason
that they are rich. This we learn from
a paragrapher in the Cincinnati Conn
nlercidl. And this is how he gives the
anecdote: mo doubt it takes pluck for
a man of modest fortune to ask rich
woman to marry him, and no doubt
rich women often go unmarried for
want of the asking. The writer once
asked one of BO tons loveliest women,
something past her first YOUTH. rich, OF
an excellent family, and an altogether
charming person: Miss l., why
have you never married?' L am tempt
ed to tell you the truth, she replied,
with vivid blush; nobody has ever
asked me. / am rich and well born,
and my own mistress. A man could
offer me very little that l have not, ex-
cept his love, and fancy most men do
not appreciate that trifie at its full val
ne. At least they don't know-how
should they?-how much true mans
love is to lone woman ~>-

A Pittsburg prophet makes the asser-
ton that in fifty years. perhaps in
twenty-five, coal will not be carried
from the mines to its places of destina-
ton in bulk, but only its actual heat
energy transported, and that by wire.
This process, he says, can be accomplish
ed by converting the coal into heat, the
heat into motion and the motion into
electricity. A storage battery at Gin
cinnati would take it up as fast as gen
Grated at the mines. From this battery
it could be taken out and converted in
to motion and heat, or changed into
light. 1t is only matter OF time,
perhaps, until this and still more Won
derfui things are done. And to-day,
we are told, Edison IS working upon
some such idea as the above,
