BILLY, THE FOX-TERRIER.
A Dog That Was Certainly Intelligent II
Not Conscientious.


A small fox-terrier. white as milk,
with the proper golden-brown spots on
his head, having pedigree longer than
Queen Victoria's and temper sweeter
than Griselda's, full of fun and adorinp
babies, made his debut when he was
only week old in '1ittery" family.
He was christened with great pomp
Charles Chum," but later on these
short syllables were not considered suff-
cient for his dignity and he was re-
christened civilian Billykins," known
to his intimates as Billy" After he
was taught that it was not polite to
snatch at things; that his mistress was
perfectly we'll satisfied with being
kissed once day, and that fruit-cake
was not suitable diet for small Dun
pies, he was educated, by means of a
whip trimmed with yellow ribbons not
to tear up bit of paper. The chief and
original sin in a fox-terrier is the liking
for tearing up any thing, but especially
paper, so that this young gentleman was
taken through what the darkies call a
course of sprouts" before he realized
fully that any thing in the shape of an
envelope or bit of paper of any kind
must be let alone.
One night his mistress counted out
roll OF bills and put them in her purse.
Then she undressed and went to bed
Billy stood by during the performance,
but was not noticed The next NJ corning
some money was wanted, the purse was
gotten, the bills unfolded and a five
dollar note was missing. The owner Of
it had never been out of the room since
the night before. The maid had seen
her put the money away and then left
the room. Where had it gone? 1t was
talked over, it was looked for, still no
five dollars During the discussion Billy
stood by staring his mistress in the face,
as II he were trying hard to understand
what it was all about. Suddenly he
made rush, dived under the desk
where he kept his favorite bones and
came out with five dollar note in his
mouth. He had picked it up where it
had dropped on the floor, knew he must
not tear it and yet hid it away among
his own belongings. 1 ask no one to
believe this; | only know it is true my
self, and that William Billykins to-day
Is honored with collar on which hang
two silver bells as reward of merit for
being good dog. Times.

Indian Eggs.-Boil some eggs hard,

quite cold, take them out on to cloth,
cut off one end with sharp knife so
that they will stand upright. Now in

without breaking the whites. Rub the
yelks through wire sieve, put them in
a basin and mix them with an equal
quantity of Indian chutney; stuff the
eggs with this, and dish in an upright

double of the mixture required to fill
the eggs; put the remainder by and use

Levying Court.

Monday, the time set by law for the meeting of the Justices of the Peace, to make the tax levy, and to transact other business. A maiori- tyIof the Justices, a quorum, con- sisting of the following gentlemen, were present:
 Alabama tp., w. B. Mckenzie and 0. M. Hancock.
 Albany tp., W. J. Sutton.
 Boughton tp., B. F. Butcher.
 Emmet tp., w. A. Shell and C.. E. Andrews.
 Georgia tp., J. B. Hannah.

 Leake tp., Jas. Stevens (col.). Missouri tp., B. F. Amohette, Jr. and J. G. Darlington.
 Redland tp., H. G. Barham.
 Taylor tp., S. w. Wright and Wm Raymond.
 Following taxes were levied: 3 mills, county general; , mills for bridge and to pay off judgment. Also a 4 mill city tax for Prescott, and special school tax, as voted in each school district of the county. It was found on examination that the county owes little over S2l ,OOO, in- cluding the judgment for Sl1, ,OOO of Rice, Stix X Co.,. and it is thought the ? mills tax will pay this off in about 3 years, besides paying for all bridges, as the total assessed valua- ton of the county is &2. .O32 ,O5l; of this $l, ,O35, 1903 is personal property, and S996, 548 is real estate.
 Our esteemed friend, J K Perdue, of Atlanta, Tex, has kindly sent us three copies oi the paper containing his war sketches, covering the peri cd of Sherman's march through Georgia, after taking Atlanta, it's principal city; in one of which, when describing the battle of Gris- woldville, near Macon, Ga., he men, toned the fact that l was shot and left for dead upon the field, but af- terward recovered. These sketches are we'll written and should be pre- served, as they embody more de- tailed account of Sherman's s march to the sea than l have seen before. MT.

A Good Policy.

The Orting Tribune gives the fol-
lowing advice: at is mistaken no.
ton to put up the prices of real estat e
to an exorbitant figure, simply be-
cause little boom is dreamed OF in a
place. Nothing tends to keep place
back more than overrated property.
Strangers cannot be induced to buy.
They 60 elsewhere and invest their
money. Soloman's advice: First
prepare thy work in the field. and
then buy thy house, is very applica-
BILE to this place. Let us get the in
dustries here first to furnish labor and
capital and then add to the prices.
This policy will be found to pay best
in the end. Keep real estate at a
reasonable figure. Induce by every
means capital and enterprise to locate
in our midst; support those already
here and the future of any place is
assured. A little liberality is the best
kind of an advertisement town can
have, and like pebble dropped in a
placid pool, the waves created keep
rolling onward increasing in volume
and extent until they land the place
and its citizens upon the shores ol
prosperity"

Wonderful Washinkton.

A st. Paul contributor to the San
Francisco Examiner thus notes the
wonderful resources OF the Pacific
Empire State:
Washington embraces all sorts of
country-lofty mountains covered with
snow and more impressive than the
Alps; enormous forests of pine, fir
and cedar; rich rolling plains, where
more wheat is grown to the acre than
anywhere in the United States; ex-
tensive prairies too dry for farming,
but good for pasturage; an ocean coast
line OF 300 miles and a much longer
coast line on the navigable bays on
the beautiful inland sea called Puget
Sound; mines of gold and silver and
big navigable rivers.
"The climate in the eastern part is
as mild as that of Virginia, and in the
western part closely resembles that of
the south OF Ireland. On Puget Sound
they have to manufacture ice by arti-
fetal process, although the latitude is
as high as that of Maine. Washing
ton will make a splendid State. She
has coal and iron, lumber, wheat,
fruit, cattle, fish, oysters, hay, oats,
barley, gold and silver. Her people
are nearly all of American birth.
The present population is not far
from 275,OOO. Nearly 10000 immi-
grants have come in during the past
year. Washington will support 1,OOO,-
600 people before her great area is in
any way crowded. In time she will be
as rich as is Pennsylvania te-day."

Somerville Journa

Somervtlle Journal.
Harriet Beecher Stoves son, the
Rev. Charles Stowe, OF Hartford,
Conn.,, met with an experience the
other evening which completely nom
plussed him. One evening quite re-
Gently he dined with Mrs. ]. w.
Boardman, proprietress Of the Hotel
Woodruff. Visiting Mrs Boardman
is cute little niece about five years
old. She is regular chatterbox and
makes many bright remarks during
the day. Fearing lest the child would
astonish the preacher by some out
landish saying, her aunt warned her
to keep mum during the dinner. The
admonition was listened to with
awe, and at the table the little
one scarcely dared look at Mr.. Stowe,
not wishing to commit a supposed sin.
While the servant was absent from the
room the little girl noticed there was
no butter on her small pink dish.
She didn't mind holding her tongue,
but to cat bread without butter-that
would never do. She took survey Of
the table, and 10 and behold, the but
ter dish was directly in front of the
preacher. Wistfully she gazed at both
for few seconds. Never in her brief
existence did she appear no pensivc.
Then, gathering all her courage and
clearing her throat, she said:
Dear pastor, won't you please, for
Christ's sake, pass the butter I"
The Rev. Mr.. Stowe never received
such shock. He leaned over his
chair to pick up his napkin, which. Of
course, had not fallen. Mrs. Board.
man must at that moment have ar
ranged q window curtain, and other
guests were suddenly touched with a
friendly cough.
Little Mabel, self-satisfied that she
had done the proper caper, was the
only one at the table who could posi-
lively prove that she was alive.

Tammany's Leader.

Richard Croker, the New York
Tammany leader, is not an orator, a
writer or much OF a conversionalist.
1t is hard to discover the secret of his
undoubted power over men, many of
whom have apparently more ability
than he. Since his boyhood, with the
exception of short time spent in the
machine shops of the New York Gen.
trail Railroad, he has lived entirely by
politics. He is not rich, although
he has held many lucrative offices.
Born in County Cork, Ireland, he
comes from a protestant, family that
settled there in the time of Cromwell.
Crofton Croker, the famous literary
man, was relative of his.
The Tammany leaders father came
to this country when Richard was q
child, and during the war was an en-
gineer employed in the army without
entering the service. Richard was
educated at the public schools, and in
his youth was regarded as u ward
tough. He attached himself to John
Kelly, who was opposing William NJ.
Tweed, was elected alderman in 1867,
and was lsgislated out of office at
Tweed's instance because he and his
colleagues refused to obey the whip.
He Was continually engaged in per-
sonal encounters of o political charac-
ter, and was equally ready with words
or blows. In 1871 he shota man in
an election row, but got off on the
plea of self-defense. His wife, who
was a Miss Frazier, is generally
credited with making the complete
change which has taken place in his
character ana manners. She is q
graduate of convent school, and in
duced him to become a Catholic be-
fore their marriage. Since the death
of John Kelly he has been the leader
of Tammany hall, and has gathered
around him a number OF bright, active
young men, who are great improve
ment in manners and education on
the older school Of New York City
politicians. The last public Office
held by Croker was that of city cham
berlain, which he resigned just pre-
vious to his recent trip to Germany,
ON the score OF failing health.

Education for Farmers.

The baccalaureate sermon before
the graduating class at the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College was lately
delivered by Professor C. S. Walker.
The topic was the "Duty of the
Educated Farmer"
Professor Walker said: Hereto
fore in all parts of the world the far
mer has been no match for his ad-
versary. He has never held his own
against soldier or priest, against poll
tician or statesman. In ancient
times he was slave, in the middle
ages a serf. In the nineteenth GEN.
tury he is a slave, serf, peasant or
proprietor, according to location.
American farmers as class, are face
to face with crisis. They have SUBJ
dued continent, and furnished raw
material for our factories, bread for
our operatives and manhood for our
civilization. They have sustained the
national credit with their hard-earned
dollars, rescued endangered liberty
with their conscientious ballots, and
defended time and again the stars
and stripes with their loyal blood.
Vigorous in body, strong in character,
striking in inviduality, lovers of
home, massive in common sense, fer
tile in resources, devout believers in
providence, the farmers of America
will never allow themselves to be over
whelmed by the fate that sunk the
tillers OF the soil in all parts of this
land. The farmers are coming together;
organization and cooperation are
wonderful ideas that have awakened
them as never before They are
grasping hands with grip that means
something; comparing ways and
means, and uniting upon the ends to
be gained, and they demand for them
oSA'OS oiiu tuCiE CuliuIcIl I'LL euuC3tlOu
equal to the best. They insist upon
fair share of the profits OF American
industry. claiming that no State can
long exist in which the tillers of the
soil bear most of the burdens and
share but little of the blessings of ad-
vancing civilization. But they are in
danger of making mistakes in the
struggle that may turn back the prog
ress of the movement. They demand
leaders. To supply this demand is the
imperative duty of the educated far
mer. Whatever of bodily vigor, of
neral heroism the educated farmers
have acquired from ancestors, College
or University, they will need that
they may consecrate themselves to
the great work of strengthening
their brethren, the farmers of America,
so that they will ever remain the inn
movable foundation of this, the only
republic whose empire has not been
rapidly undetermined"

AN important deal involving a quar-
ter of million of dollars is about to
be consumated at Seattle. S. G. Full
ton, general manager of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company for this
coast, has been trying for some time
past to negotiate deal for the Seattle
Transfer Company's improvements
and their contract for business with
the Puget Sound Shore road. Eigh-
teen months ago the contract was
made and it runs for upward of ten
years and is very valuable franchise.
The sale has not as yet been con-
cluded, but is more than likely to be.
The amount asked for by the Seattle
Transfer Company is $25OO00, and
that offered by the Northern Pacific,
through its representative, is only a
few thousands less.
