The Goat Made the Horse.

It is estimated that Niagara Falls
will recede two miles and then remain
stationary, their height at that point
being eighty feet, instead of 164' as at
present. The superstition is supported
by an argument which appears reason
able. The present site is a limestone
formation some eighty or ninety feet
thick, with a shaly foundation. AS the
sbale is washed away, the limestone
breaks off, and the falls take a step
backward. But the end of the shaly
deposit will be reached two miles from
the present falls, and then the rushing
water will have more than 1t a DO 10

Al Old Time Partisan,

It is easy to recall to mind his familiar
figure as he sits, during winter evenings,
in his favorite corner.
In his easy chair, with pipe in hand and
his silver-rimmed 'specs" pushed back
until they find a soft resting place on his
beloved snow-white head, with eyes spark
ling and his face beaming with pleasure as
he calls back old memories of days long
gone by, he is likelyto talk something after
this fashion:
ats a long time since I was a boy. All,
but that was many years ago. Sixty long
years have gone and the good Lord knows
they were short enough. l was then as
spruce and pert as any chap Whereabouts.
"Oh, but we boys were boysl Things
have changed a. heap since those days.
Boys then didn't take much stock in stylish
clothes and they didn't carry canes like
they do now. Clothes and canes didn't cut
much caper then, but it was good hard
sense and work.
1.-THE boy who could do the biggest days
~work-could cut the most wood, split the
most rails, plow the most corn, was the
most envied for he was sure to have the
sweetest and best lookin' gal at the 'slngin'
school or 'ap~ple-peelin'.'
= II tell you those were good old times!
II didn't hin any thing of going thirty
mile or more to see your grandmother,
and we didn'tha very good roads either,
but generally had to follow some old Indian
trail.
"Talkin' about sickness then, there was
no sickness like now. II we had a cold, a
pain. or any thing, there was the best med
icine LA the world found in any log cabin
home you came across. Why, I remember
that my old grandmother, God bless her
soul, she's been dead these fifty years or
more, could make the best home made
medicine for miles around. Her ~'sarsapa-
rilly' couldn't be beat. Come to think l
just read in the paper about somebody who
is making this same old log cabin medicine,
under the name of Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla.'
SIT does seem splendid to think that you
can buy those good old home cures at the
druggists nowadays.
"Mebby you think people wer'" not
healthy in those days, but 1 tell you that it
was mighty seldom anybody was sick long
when they had such good old grand
mother medicine so handy.
"People used to be stronger, healthier,
and they lived longer, when I was 2 10y"

OvERRUN WITH DOGS.


Policemen Have Not Killed Trump CANNES
for Two Years-Thc Remarkable Re.
suli-fnspector McAleese's sugge.tions
for Legislation.
There has been an enormous increase in the
number of dogs in Pittsburg during the past
two or three years, and they threaten to over
run the city unless something is done to keep
them within bounds Some of them are get
ting vicious. too, and reports are frequently
made of persons being bitten. There is no dog
pound, and therefore no dog catcher in Pitts
burg, and 1t is over two years since the police
quit Killing wandering CANNES with dog but
tons, and there Is no other way to dispose of
them.
"The dogs ought to be kept down." said
Captain Dan Silvus yesterday, "but am glad
the police have quit killing them. When it was
the duty of the officers to put away stray dogs,
every yodog that was killed in the city was
blamed on the police. There were hundreds Of
very valuable animals killed every year, and
while don't believe the police killed one of
them, yet they got the credit OF discreait OF
some one, IL might be even against the police
man himself. and would give . button to a
valuable dog; then, of course, the owner con-
tended every time that 1t was the officer on the
beat who had done it out Of spite. That
was one reason the killing by the officers was
stopped Another reason was that the fall
ting around afser a dead dog, and the blCated
carcass of defunct canine lying in the hot
sun for several days is neither pleasant to see
nor to smell"
Something should certainly be done with
the dogs" said Police Inspector McAleese.
There are thousands of them run
ming around the city which have no
owners. and are regular tramps. Then,
being without control. they breed and
multiply very rapidly. don't believe in poi
soning the dogs, but do believe in killing them
in some way. We should have DOG pound, a
city tax on, or license for dogs. and place in
which to properly kill any which may be taken
up and are not reclaimed by their owners.
There should be a license fee Of not less than
81 for every dog, and the owners should be
compelled to place collars and muzzles on
them. If the license was made IS it would be
a great deal better. With such q system there
would be speedy abatement of the nuisance.

STILL THINK 1T QUEER.
Police Oficials Are Not Satisfied With the
Commercial Ira aveIers' Club.

Commercial Ira velers' Club.
There is still some question in the minds of
the police authorities regarding the purposes
of the men who are collecting funds for the
establishment Of the proposed Commercial
Travellers Club. One of the officials said yester-
day that he intended to look into the matter
further, and that unless he was thoroughly
convinced of the honesty Of the purpose of the
men, he would take steps to have the collec-
tions stopped. He had received information,
he said, that the same method had been worked
in Cincinnati, and after the money was OBJ
tained no club was established. Moreover he
could not see why commercial drummers had
any more right to solicit charity for a club
house than had travelling bummers.
Nevertheless, MIR. Schomaker, as attorney for
the persons making the collections. has applied
for charter for the club. and Mr.. Frank X.
Kohler, secretary of an accident insurance
company in Pittsburg, is treasurer for it. The
police official says his suspicious were more
aroused as to the Legitimacy of the transaction
because OF the methods of soliciting funds.
lie says he knows that various persons have
refused to contribute. but yet a book is shown
with the names of these individuals down for
subscriptions ranging from SIS to 500, as an in
ducement to others to subscribe.

with a small revolver. Gustav Reiter, who
lives at the foot of Herr's Island in a small
boat, was passing and was shot in the left
cheek. Reiter was taken to DR.. Duncan's Office.

the shooting. but was arrested on Spring alley
at 10 o'clock last night by Lieutenant Teetlers
and put into the Twelfth ward station He
said he did not see Reiter or he would not have

from the can and struck Reiter. The police do
not think, however, that the wound could have
been inflicted as it was had the bullet glanced.
