A Canine Desperate.

"A dog belonging tc IL BIS, which
was a great favorite vi theirs, and re-
garded as Of irreproacha5Ie training, was
charged by some of their neighbors with
worrying sheep at night. The family re-
butted the charge on the ground that
the dog was fastened into their kitchen
at night. The farmers, however, per-
sisted that they know the dog well.
When this was urged SO strongly as to
make it imperative on the B to take
some further steps, one Of the daughters
volunteered to sleep in the kitchen and
watch the dogs behavior.
When they made up the young lady's
bed the dog seemed very restless and
strange, but by and BY he settled down
and all was silent. A little after mid
night he got up, came to the bed, and
shifted about until he had satisfied him
self that the lady was not awake. Then
he leaped into the window seat, lifted
the catch Of the shutters and opened
them. Then he undid the latch Of the
window, which he opened, and then dis
appeared. After long interval he came
back, closed and fastened the windows
and shutters, and finished by licking his
own feet, and the marks which he had

As soon as she heard the servants stir

through the door. But the guilty dog
had marked her. He sprang up and
made dash at her with most unisauised
fury, for he saw that bis secret was dis.
covered and his character blasted by one
one whom he now regarded as d hateful
spy. Fortunately, she got the door fast
shut in sine. and at once alarmed the
house. But the dog was now SO furious
that no one dared 90 into the kitchen.

old captain took fresh chewof tobacco

There recently died in Fairfax county,
Virginia, one Henry Lamb, whose en-
tire life was spent in the neighborhood
Of Washington mansion, Mount Vernon,
and who always asserted that the vault
containing the remains Of Washington
had been violated and the skull carried
away to France, where it vas sold to q
firm Of phrenologists, who subsequently
issued work the front page Of which
presented an illustration setting forth
its measurements and proportions. the
agents. of this Dissertation he asserted
were the sailors Of a French ship, an
chored in the Potomac, near by. The
shull which was taken away was re-
placed by that of negro servant Of
Colonel Fairfax. This story seems to
have obtained credence in the neighbor-
hood, as an indignation meeting was
held at the time, in which Mr.. Lamb
participated. He always affirmed its
truth, and his death revived and gave
it currency anew. About the time OF
the alleged robbery Congress passed an
act providing for the erection Of crypt
in the capitol to contain the remains of
Washington, but for some reason it was
never erected.

This national holiday was originally
intended by the Puritan coIonists, under
Governor Bradford. to express publicly
their gratitude Tor the seasons harvest.

they were alone in the great continent.

stead Of annual thanksgiving, day oz
fasting and prayer was vastly more ap-
propriate. In 1922 the abundant harvest
was spoken Of BY contemporary colonists
as heaven sent deliverance from the
dread Of famine. We are also told of
the day Of fasting and prayer appointed
FOR the drought, and the joyful welcome
of the rain during the service. changing
the fast 70 thanksgiving The custom
thus founded was continued through the
colonial days. and after the Revolution
the governors Of the several New Eng
land States continued to appoint al an

brought to this Office, and given space
in the columns Of the TINES. These
complaints have naturally aroused a
feeling Of Indignation against the per-
petrators of the outrages complained

the complaints came, but to no avail.

appointed Deputy District Attorney,

If some one will only supply the evi.

he gives notice to that effect in another
