DOG DAYS

Son: "Pa, what are the dog
days? Our teacher said they
came in midsummer, when
the dog-star ragged. And what
is the dog-star and what does
it do when it RACES? Our teach
er said it was an ancient super
stition, or something of that
sort"
Pa: "My son, it is nothing of
that sort. You must be son
struck or you will be, if you
are not careful. The dog days
have no regular time for COM
ing. This year they are right
here now. They come any time
when 'Dogberry,' which is a
poetical name for a policeman,
wakes up to the fact that it
would be good thing to collect
the dog tax. The dog-star is
the badge that the 'Dogberry'
wears. One of them struck me
last week for the dog tax on
that worthless hound that you
keep here to eat us out of house
and home. When this license
expires, that dog has got to so.
Do you understand? That is
the truth of history; little bit
ahead of anything your teacher
says

Justice Crawford's Court.

Dudly Cole, colored, who WAS ar
rested Saturday night for the theft OF an
old coat worth about SO. was arranged
this morning. and the principal witness
for the state being absent and not being
able to be found in the city, the defend
ant was released from custody upon his
own recogniZsnce. Dudly Cole makes
some serious charges against the police
man who arrested him, which should be
Investigated by the grand jury. Cole
states that he was severely dubbed and
beaten without any cause therefor; In
fact thas he was dubbed into insensi-
bility. If this charge be true the police
man making the arrest was certainly
guilty Of an aggravated assault, and II 1t
be untrue the facts should be made pub
lie. Cole also states that he had some
$40 In his pocket when he was arrested
and as soon as he was released from Gus
tody he and his attorney, Judge Mason,
went 10 police headquarters to obtain
the money alleged to have been taken
from him when he was arrested. 1t is
hardly probable that any man on the
police force would club and beat an I'M
resisting person, but the charge made by
Cole should be Investigated.

For some days past there has been an
UNUSUAL busy time at L. Wolfson's En-
porium; load after load Of huge cases and
bales of goods we're unloaded, until now
by degrees the unpacking has so far ad-
vanced as to form preliminary esti-
mate OF the final result.

the foregoing, the silk department has
not been neglected, and the counters
and the shelves are loaded with the

IT SCARED THEM.

| captain q. p. Smith Tells Very Funny
and Remarkable Snake Story.
Captain G. Z. Smiths daughter is O
pretty little girl, but she has dry sense
OF humOr and the bump Of mischievous-
ness is well developed. The other day a
friend presented her with a snake quirt
that bears remarkable resemblance to
the real Thing, and soon after when
brother Charlie went for the corn to feed
the horses he found snake" in the
corn crib and was terriblely scared for a
long time until he found 1t was q whip.
Then again he went to the gate to close
II for the night, when the ''snake,"
manipulated by string, went for him
and made him beat IA hasty retreat amid
the laughter of relatives who were
watching the denoument. At night as
Captain Smith was ascending to his bed
room, he saw the snake" on the stair,
and he remarked to his wife, Here's
that whip again for Charlie" and
laughed heartily, when suddenly il
sDrang up, struck him on the calf OF the
leg and he felt sharp pain. Capt. Smiths
hilarity Immediately ceased. Hejumped
a considerable distance and exclaimed.

er his equilibrium he went for the snake
determined to kill IL, when he found IL
was only the harmless snake whip. A
closer examination showed that it was
worked deity, and pin was carefully
fixed In its mouth. IL was the pin that
had stung him, and he was considerably
relieved to know. Ii was nothing worse.
In relating this story to the LIGHT per-
cipatetio Captain Smith said: Il tell
you 1t was Il good joke on me, and
laughed heartily, but | can tell you 1t
nearly scared the life out OF me. Man
