A DOG WITH A HEART.
How He N"urn"d when His Pet Cat
-, :. tid to Rnst.

Here is pathetic little story. illus
trative of the affection that may be
cultivated between II dog and il cat
and being a strictly true story makes
it all the more worthy of telling. says
the Baltimore Connty Union. A family
in this town had Il dog about II years
old and cat about Q. both of which
they had raised. Between these ami
mails the most marked affection sprang
up, and they were iuseparable friends.
They ate together. and played together.
and if by chance they became separated
they each showed in the most marked
manner their discomfort and uuhappi-
ness. If the cat got out of the house
the dog whined most persistentlv aud
dolefully until she came back: aud if
the dog happened TO he absent the Cat
acted in Il similar. A short time ago
the cat died aud it was then her COM
panion manifested the most unmis-
taxable signs of distress. He pushed
her body around with his nose. APP

manner.

and. securing u box put the body i'll
it, and. after mailing on the lid. car
ried it into the garden. drg a hole,
and after placing it therein covered it.,
as he supposed. securely. In the
meantime the dog moped about the
house. refusing either to eat or drink,
and looked SD distressed that it was
painful TO see him. One day The boy
noticed that the dogs nose and head
were covered with mud. and the
thought IN once struck him that he

How Il Coat of Tar Feels.

People who read of tarring and
feaihering by white caps and others
know that the punishment is very
unpleasant one. but few imagine how
terribly painful and dangerous it is
In Wyoming | once saw man who
had been tarred and feathered. and.
although he fully deserved the dis
cipine could not help plying him,
writes correspondent of the St. Louis
Globe Dtm0crat. Hardened tar is very
hard TO remove from the skin, and
when feathers are added it forms a
kind of cement that sticks closer than
Il brother. As soon as the tar sets the
victims suffering begins. 1t contracts
as it cools, and every one of the little
veins on the body is pulled. causing
the most exquisite agony. The per-
spiration is entirely stopped, and un-
less the tar is removed death is certain
to cnsue. But the removal is no easy
task and requires several days. The
tar cannot be softened by the applica-
ton of heat. and must be peeled off bit
by bit. sweet oil being used to make
the process less painful. The irrita-
ton to the skin is very great. as the
hairs canpot be diseugaged. but must
be pulled out or cut off. No man can
be cleaned of tar in n single day, as
the pain of the operation would be too
cycruciating for endurance. and until
this is done he has To suffer from a
pain like that of 10000 pin pricks.
Numbers of men have died under the
torture. ana none who have gone
ihTough it regard tarring and feather
in" "a anything but Il most fearful in
Eic;ion.

He didn't want to 90 any farther up
the road anyhow. The engineer had
stopped his train. The bull looked
around and made break for the
engine. He was tired of being bull
dozed. Well. sir, the engineer began
to back his train and the bull thought
he bad the fight won and kept ad-
vancing. The fireman finally had TO
get out and chunk him OFF with Jumps

Our little one was SICK, and the sickness

And as the hight ore on, and the fever

And n new lool buruc and grew in the eyes

Still louder in cur hearts uprose the voicclcss
cry:

And although we heard no sound as around

Our souls were made aware of II mandate i'll

And as at dawn's fair summons faded the

And with him took her way TO n country far

And we would not call her dead, for it was his
