A Deg Saved Sax Lives

A dire tul accident to six men On a
handcar near East Helena a short
time ago was only averted by the in.
telligence of a dog. A large New.
foundland dog was in the habit OF
following the men in their daily nip
down the road, and like all dogs it
was ambitious to keep up with Its
masters. One evening when the men
were returning from work the dog
took the lead and there was a spirited
race. The animal was only a short
distance ahead, and instead of leaving
the track and falling in the rear, kept
going at a great speed. The men
never thought of danger till the car
rounded q curve and came suddenly
upon long trestle with the dog no
more than twenty feet ahead. He
did not realize the danger until he
came to the trestle. The men were
horror stricken and expected to be
thrown from the track and perhaps
killed, The intelligent dog knew
the danger instantly. 1t fattened it
self between the ties and the car pass
ed safely over without ruffiing a
hair. 1t was the most remarkable
piece of intelligence ever exhibited by
a dumb animal. 1t could not 60 on
ward; to stand still was death to the
dog as we'll as the men. 1t was too
late to jump. SO the intelligent ami
NAL crouched low and thus saved its
own life as well as the men on the
car.-Helena Independent.

could not ge: permit to wed for six

his coat.
The clerk reasoned, but the fellow
was obdurate, few around, pulled his
hair, threatened and swore, but again
he was informed that he could not
join in wedlock except until death or
the co1rts do part.
"What yer givin' meg" said the
man, as he picked up the blank IL
cense and walked out, probably think

the writing lasted a life time. He
was observed going down the street
with the paper tightly clutched in bis

She Got There, But

During burlesque opera little in
cident occurred at a point where the
comedian has occasion to present vari
GUS young women with medals, having
taken part in brave deeds on the field
of battle, says the New York Sun.
These bonored warriors are sttired to
kill, being for the most part tightly
compressed with thin affairs of silk.
One of them is very tall and sturdy,
very Juno, encased in tights Of 8
soft pearly gray, and as she stepped
forward for her medal she looked every
inch conqueror of men. The come
dian extended the medal to her, but
as she reached out it fell to the stage.
The lovely woman's impulse was TO
stoop and pick it up, but at the first
bend of her knees she stopped and
looked at the comedian as though she
expected him to perform that service
for her. But the comedian was a
wicked chap, and he had no intention
of rescuiDg the medal.
"Why don't you pick it up, my
brave so!dier?" he asked, looking at
the tall, blushing girl with an express
sion of comic surprise.
The girl was plucky though nerv-
Gus, and she quickly made up her
mind that she would not be made fun
of before the audience, so she began
at once the process of picking the
medal off the stage. She Owed down
swiftly at first but only got half as far
as she expected and stopped. There
seemed to be a resistance at the knees.
The audience was interested, and the
comedian regarded the proceeding as
though it were feat of acrobatism.
The girl swung up and down with an
elastic movement for an instant, and
as the blood poured in crimson wave
over her face, neck and arms, she
strained with ell Der force to reach
the medal. At last, with one sharp
determined dive, the hing was in her
hand, at the same time an ominous
sound was heard. 1t was the ripping
Of the tight woven cloth. The come
dian jumped backward. every opera
glass in the house was raised as thou h |
by signal, and as the confused
beauty struggled to an erect posture
and staggered f.om the sage, gleam
IF snow white was visible at each |
knee against ruin of pearl grey silk.
"Well," said the comedian, a little
'orry that the joke should result so
lisastrously. 81 think she came
through very handsomely in that
Gene. Exchange.
