Why Nellie Runs No More TO Fires with
Truck 10.

TUCK 10.
Since it's organization, two years ago. Hook
and Ladder Company 16 has rejoiced in the
possession of an English coach dog.
Nellie, as the dog was named, has spent her
six years of life among different engine COM
panies, but finally came to the East Sixty
seventh street truck-houset to stay.
The trained horses were not more prompt
in responding to a fire alarm than Nellie, who
would leave her meals to take her accustomed
place under the truck.
In fact, the iremen would feel that some
thing was seriously amIss if they vent to a
fire without Nellie.
Early on the morning of August 8 came
the alarm for the fire on Avenue A., in which
four people lost their lives.
The truck in proceeding TO the fire turned
to go downtown, and Nellie, who had always
been accustomed to going uptown, made a
dash III that direction, when the ~forefoot of
the off horse struck her s~quarely i'll the Jaw,
knocking out three teeth and fracturing the
jaw bone.
Nellie ut once returned to the truck house,
and now spends her time in nursing the
wounded jaw and attending to her young
family. She is rapidly getting we'll, but has
evidently ZONE to the conclusion that the
| mother of a family has no business running
to fires. for the alarm bell now awakens DC
responsive bark from her.
Some of the tiremen are of the opinion
that when she has entirely recovered she will
resume her usual duties, but others are in.
clined to doubt it, and a test case is anxiously
awaited.

THE POoDLE's GRAVE.

Love me, owe my dog" is an old saying,
and one the sentiment of which is generally
approved. The man who does not love a
faithful dog is not to be trusted. Every
woman does love her dog as q matter of
course. 1t is an evidence of her gentler and
kinder nature.
People may laugh at the mistress of the
late Cosy Bell. who now sleeps in peace, I'M
disturbed by the growing of mastiff or the
swapping of cur, in a two-hundred dollar lot
IN Woodlawn Cemetery. Many Gradgrinds
may insist that Cosy's owner might better
have expended the money it cost her for the
funeral and the lot in charity to living human
beings instead of in memory of departed
poodle. But let it be remembered that the
man or woman who is attached to a faithful
animal Is always warm-hearted and benevo-
lent. We have no doubt that Cosy's bereayed
mistress is full of good deeds for suffering
humanity.

cured, three much improved, and one not
treated long enough. Average time OF treatment,
four weeks. The doctor claims, in conclusion of
his paper, that the Carlsbad Mineral Water, az
exported by the city OF Carlsbad. being the natural
product, is much to be preferred, where the guam
tity OF water Is no objection, particularly In dis
eases OF the Stomach. Whenever the quantity of
water cannot be taken the Powder Carlsbad Spru-
del Salt genuine imported) will answer equally
as well. He states that the effect OF the Water

if you could place yourself any Monday
forenoon near the main Office of this lot
terry you would see lines of men and
women dressed in the patched up, ~cast-off
garments of q Weather and past genera
ton, wearing in their faces the evidences
of lives of misery and starvation, crowd
ing toward the door and bearing in their
bony fingers :he few cents, tern, as it
were, from the empty plates Of their little
ones. Expectation, hope and hunger
seem to mingle i'll the eye CT the pur-
chaser.
A few days later when the lists of the
drawing adorn the windows of this office,
the scene is repeated, showing how the
kindly Government OF William the Silent
profits by the miseries and passions ofthe
populace. The Government charges 10
per cent. of every prize drawn in addition
to a heavy tax on every ticket sold. A
whole ticket costs 90 guldens, being 500,
but is split into twenty parts, and the la
borer pays $1.S7 for his one-twentieth, tho
tax included. The highest prize is $40,
600, and hundreds of families starve
themselves nearly to death for the chance
of winning $1,000.

hands of the Israelites, and they
