A Child Saved by q Dog.

AN INTELLIGENT ANIMAL PULLS a
LAD FROM A TRACK IN FACE OF AN
ENGINE.
Harry Gorden, three years old, was
saved from death on Tuesday by d
Newfoundland dog. The little fellow
accompanied by the dog, was walking
along the tracks of the Boston, Revere
Beach & Lynn Railroad when train
bore down upon them. The boys
mother was running to save him, but
she was too far away to do anything.
Just before the train reached the
little fellow the dog became aware OF
the danger. With almost human III
telligence he seized the boys clothing
in his jaws and dragged him from the
track just in time to escape the wheels.
His prompt action saved the boys life.
The dogs name is Wallace, and is
owned by Mr.. Joseph Meharg, OF
Beachmont.

Loving Words.

Loving words vii, cost but little,
Journeying up the hill ot life;
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, Drawer for the strife.
Do You count them only trltleS?
What to earth are sun and rain?
Never was kind word wasted;
Never one Was said in vain.
When the cares of life are many,
And its burdens heavy grow
For the ones " no walk beside you,
II you love them. tell them so.
What you count If little valne
Has an almost magic power,
And beneath that cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like tlowei.
So. as up lifc's hill We journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words, to be rs sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word, my brother,
AS along through life y0u 90,
To the ones who journey with you :
If you love them, tell them SO.

"Who is hurt?''

grew denser still 1t was just before

feverish energy that marked the clos

eddying whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again,
each in its destined course, had sudden

that requests were sent out to the DEM

the democratic votes in Idaho were

FROM CANADA TO CAROLINA.
Swarms of Hardy Hudson's Bay Birds Go
Far South for the Winter.

There is story of a consumptive Lap
lander who came to St. Petersburg to
"enjoy the benefit of the mild climate"
and some of our migratory birds are
about as easily suited, according to the
Commercial Gazette. In the highlands
of western North Carolina, where snow
occasionally falls to a depth of three
feet, the winter-woods are haunted by
species of birds known as waxwings,
or Canadian chatterers, that pass the
summer in the pine forests of Hudsons
bay territory, and probably do not feel
cold till the mercury drops to the bot
tom of the scale. In cage they twit-
ter merrily, and Chamber about in q
temperature that would paralyze an
English sparrow, and it can be kept all
winter on an open porch. Half of our
northern thrushes'do not go outside of
our national territory. Swar1ns of rob-
ms pass the winter in the Tennessee
valley or in the cedar forests north of
Huntsville, Ala, where pot-hunting
darkys shoot them by hundreds of
thousands. The birds of the Utah
Sierras go west instead of south. In
the direction of the Mexican border
, they would have to traverse 4 thousand
miles OF sand hills and alllai plains,
but By crossing the Sierra Nevada they
can reach land where winter is almost
unknown and where (as on the coast
plain south OF Monterrey insects and
berries can be found in abundance at
the end of December.

Desperate Idabo Convict.


BOISE, Idaho, Dec. "a thrilling
tragedy, resulting in the almost instant
death of Samuel Halton. noted des-
perado, occurred in the Idaho peniten-
tiary. The man who did the killing
was Howard French, turnkey of the
prison, and coroner's jury indorsed
his action. Halton occupied cell in
the topmost gallery of the main build
ing of the penitentiary ever since his
incarceration in 1885. He had been un-
ruly and rebellious, and during the past
month had been closely confined and
fed upon bread and water The turn
key, accompanied by trusty, had gone
to Halton's cell with the latter's break
fast, which the vi cious fellow refused
to receive. Fren ch left the cell, but
before he could close the grated door
Halton sprang upon him. French is a
powerful man, but he was but child
in the grasp of the maddened convict.
The trusty fed, leaving the two men
engaged in a deadly struggle. The gal
lery is fifty feet above the stone floor
of the prison and is surrounded by
cow iron railing. Halton forced
French to this railing and tried to
double his head over it and break his
neck. He exerted terrible pressure and
the tendous Of the officers neck fairly
cracked under the strain. Seeing that
he could not kill French by this cruel
mode, he tried to throw him over the
railing upon the adamantine floor be-
meath. Halton had all but accomplished
his deadly purpose, when the timid
trusty stepped up and pulled him away
from his intended victim. Haiton
turned upon the trusty and the latter
fed. The nurderous convict again
grappled with French, making super
human effort to throw him from the
lofty gallery, when Fropo.i drew a
bowie-knife and stabbed him to the
heart The convict staggered back,
cried out, "Send letter to mother"
and fell dead.
During the progress of this terrible
struggle ninety convicts were at break
fast in the same building, in plain view
of the combat They became panic
stricken, and yelled ike nnaniacs The
smell of human blood seemed to set
them wild. and saaguinary insurrec-
tion seemed proba bic. but French, with
characteristic nerve, confronted thc
convicts and commanded them TO sit
down they obeyed TIE order and were
quietly marched 10 their cells.

ALEXANDRIA. Mimi, Dec. 10.-A
wreck occurred on the Great Northern
at Nelson, about six miles east of here
at l o'clock this morning. The wreck
ers stationed at this place were clearing
up a small wreck that occurred the
night before, and after finishing the
work about 8 o'clock, the men went in
to the caboose and soon fell asleep, ex-
pecting the wreclzer to pull out for st.
Cloud at any time.
About o'clock an eastbound freight
came down the long grade west of Mel
son and ran into the rear end of the
wrecker at al most full speed. All the
men in the caboose were killed except
two who jumped through the window
before the train caught fire. Three
men were taken from the burning
caboose, but were dead, and the rest of
the bodies were burned. Four of the
men were found, but all but one was so
badly burned that nothing but the
bones remained. Six other men, who
were in a box car, were badly injured
and one fireman was also badly hurt,
having an arm broken.

HEcxico's Revolution.

LAREDO, Tex, Dec. 19-No couriers
have arrived from down the river and
so nothing definite is known concern
ing the bandits who were surrounded
in the chaparraL The most sensational
feature of the present trouble yet
learned came IN private telegram to
prominent Mexican here from the City
of Mexico, stating that Gen. Leo
tines Rocha, one of the most proni-
nent men in the republic and the mill
tary instructor at Chapultepec, the
West Point of Mexico, had mysteriously
disappeared from his home in the city
of Mexico and could not be found. He
has been missing since last Tuesday
and the superstition is that he has been
quietly made away with or is coming
toward the border in disguise. Gen.
Roc!la is to Mexico what Grant was to
America, and it is reported if he wanted
to overthrow the government he could
control thousands cf troops.
