Two SENATOR and a DOG.


Senator VOORHEES, and Senator Vest
are good friends, and they have often
been on fishing and pleasure trips to-
gether. Once thev went down TO Hot
Springs. in Arkansas. and while there
concluded TO rough it, little. They
got two horses and rode many miles
away from the Springs to take fish in
one of the streams ont in the wilds.
They lost their way when starting
back TO the Springs. They wondered
about until night overlook them.
Look here, Dan. said the Missouri
an, I'VE are a long way from our
boarding-place. Suppose we go over
to that cabin and see if we can get
supper. lodging and breakfast. Most
of these fellows who live down here
are hospitable even if their aeeommo-
dations are not great"
The HooSier Senator consented. and
IN few moments the two statesmen
were at the threshold of the Arkansas
cabin. The head of the family took
them IN, but did not seem either sur
prlSed or pleasant when told who they
were. He merely said that such fare
as he possessed they were welcome TO.
and that he could offer pipes after sup
per. and that a spare bed in one corner
of the room was at their disposal.
About o clock the light was blown
out. and the Senators began to disrobe,
and soon were stretched out on the
bed. The family occupied couple of
beds ia the other end of the room. The
Senators chatted a half hour or so and
then agreed TO cease conversation and
go to sleep. just as they were about
TO drop TO sleep a big dog that had
crept under the couch occupied by the
Senators began TO scratch himself Wig

ing sound ON the floor with leg Joint

the Hoosier statesman and said:
''Confound that dogi You are on
the outside of the bed, Dan; reach
over. get a shoe and drive the beast
out OF here We can not sleep if the
dog keeps up so much fuss. and we
will he full of fleas before we know it. =
Mr.. VOORHEES, was Just about to carry
out the suggestion when the owner of
the cabin jumped 10 his feet and ex-
claimed:
Gentlemen, You may or NAV not be
United Safes Senators, but whoever
you are. you are welcome To Stay here
If You behave yourselves; but YOU cant
tech hair on that dog. That dog is
after Gus Garland; the greatest
man in my opinion in Arkansas. and
think rs much of the dog almost as |
do of any of my children
The Sena ol.s assured their host that
Gus Garland could scratch To his hearts
content, as they would not modest him.

Love Among the otters.

An old sportsman is quoted in the
n. Y. Tribune. as follows: '.In Choke
Greek last summer one day came up
on two otters, one larger than the

was a female, and the other a male.
She was shy of the big one. and when
ever he tried to be friendly by getting
nearer to her she acted so cross that he
went back. He got so near once that
she cuffed him and then plunged into
the stream and swan around for a
while. Then she returned to the log
and drove him back to his own spot.
lit went on in this way quite a while
and then another male otter came puff

struck the pool. Seeing the female, he
crawled upon the log and caressed her
She seemed to take kindly to him, but

while they had it hot and heavy on the

to lick the other male, and the whipped
