What One Honest Boy G aimed.

A score or more of cash boys en-
ployed in an uptown dry goods store
organized strike about ten days ago.
They wanted an increase Of fifty cents
a week in their pay and the abatement
of two or three obnoxious rules rel
alive to fines. The determination to
strike was unanimous and each boy
was taken, as fast as circumstances
permitted. into the remotest corner of
the cellar under the store and made to
''swear upon honor" that he would
not back out of the movement until
the objects sought were attained. A
day or two before the day fixed for the
strike a housing porter caught three
OF them together in the cellar, and his
threats to report them for attempting
to steal frightened them into telling
him their secret. Utterly disregard
ing their pleas to ''keep still about it, ="
the porter went directly 70 the super
intendent and exposed the plot. That
very night all OF the cash boys were
summoned before the superintendent
after the store had been closed. III
there is to be any striking in this
store" said the superintendent Il
propose to strike first. Now l want
every boy who is pledged to this move
ment to step forward" Only one boy
stepped forward, and he proved to be
the most industrious and Trustworthy
boy in the store. Each Of the Other
boys, being questioned in turn. denied
anv complicity in the proposed strike.
The superintendent was shrewd man.
He soon ascertained all Of the fact:
and found that the one plucky boy pro
posed to stand by his 'strike oath,
until 1.-The objects sought were at

"Oh, very WE'LL" said the superin
tendent dryly. LAS you are the onl.

Or That at Lcast Become Permanently
Fixed In the jaw.
According to the Kolnische Volks-
zeitung. Moscow dentist appears to
have solved the problem OF supplying
the human mouth with false teeth
which will grow into the gums as firm
ly as natural ones. DIR. Znamensky
has performed several successful oper-
ations on dogs as we'll as on human
beings. The teeth are made Of gutta-
percha, porcelain or metal, as the case
may be. At the root Of the false tooth
holes are made. Holes are also made
upward into the jaw. The tooth Is
then placed in the cavity. In short
time a soft, granulated growth finds
its way from the patients jaw into the
holes in the tooth; this growth grad
ually hardens and holds the tooth in
its position. 1t Is stated that it does
not matter whether the cavity in which
the tooth is to be placed is one from
which natural tooth has been recent
ly drawn or whether it has been healed
f, tor some years.

vast fresh water lake covered this por-

these lakes drained of. after the sub
sidence Of the plains further east the
original lake beds were worn into
canyons that twined in every conceiv-
able direction. Here and there abrupt
and almost perpendicular portions OF
the ancient beds remain in all imagin-
able forms, some resembling the ruins
Of abandoned cities. Towers, spires.
cathedrais. obelisks. pyramids and
monuments Of various shapes appear
on every side. Dr. Hayden, the ear
lest explorer Of this region. says:
Not infrequently the rising or set
ting sun will light up these grand old
ruins with wild, strange beauty, re-
minding one OF a city Illuminated in
the night as seen from high points.
The higher layers project from the
sides OF the canyons with such regu-
larity that they appear like seats Of

FOUGHT LIKE A CYCLONE.
A Three Logged Dog That Saved His
Masters Life.

Spring. a brindled bulldog belong

vile, died of old age recently. says
the Bangor (Me.) News. He was
nearly fifteen years old, and for nine
years he had hobbled around on three
feet In the summer Of 1892 Spring
lost his left hind foot in a successful
effort to save the life Of his master.
and nothing could have induced Mr..
White to part with the old dog after
that.
Mr.. White was at the Moscow
station on the Delaware, Lackawanna
Il Western railroad when Spring pre-
vented him from being crushed to
death by locomotive. Mr.. White
and another man were talking together
on the up track at the time. An
empty coal train was laundering past
on the down track. and they didn't
hear the approach OF loaded coal
train on the up track, although the
engineers bell was ringing.
Spring saw his masters danger and
he began to bark furiously. but Mr..
White, supposing that the dog was
barking at the down train, didn't turn
around. Then Spring flew at Mr..
White and bit him on the right leg.
The dog had never done such a thing
before, and jumping aside to give

OF the snorting locomotive just in time
to see that in another second it would
crush him to death. In twinkling
