4 Dog Worth Having.

A women living in fiat on Gates
avenue near Stuyvesant is the owner Of
dog that is worth having. It is a
mongrel cur as devoid of pedigree as a
paving stone is of hair. Exactly how
she came in possession of the dog she
cannot say. He happened around one
day in forlorn and hungry condition,
and being fond of animals she took pity
on him, fed him and at once the dog
located on the premises. He is good
deal in appearance like Smiley's frog,
that is to say, there are no points about
this dog to indicate that he is better than
any other dog. But, as the sequel will
show, he proved to be an animal Of sim
gular judgment and good sense. The
other day while roaming in the vicinity
he found a five dollar bill. Now by
what process of reasoning or by previous
observation that dog had learned that
money had a value or that five dollar
bills were worth having, is impossible
to say.
The fact remains, however, that this
intelligent mongrel dog took the bill in
his mouth and, in spite of the efforts of
number of street boys who saw the
performance and tried to get the money
away from him, scooted with it to the
Gates avenue flat and deposited it safely
at the feet of his mistress with wag of
his tail, as if to say, "You see, I'm able
to pay for my board" The woman
would not part with that dog now for
good many five dollar bills. This singu-
lar story of an animals sagacity may
look doubtful, but tits absolutely true.

Good Fellowship Among Ants and Bees

Good Fellowship Among Ants and Bees.
Never among mankind can we find SO
absolute and complete an absorption of
the individual by the social group as in
the cities of ants and bees, where indi-
vidual property has never, it seems,
been imagined. In these republics what
one citizeness has for herself belongs to
the others. Does hungry bee meet
one laden with booty returning to a
city, she lightly taps her on the head
with her antenn@ and instantly the
latter hastens in sisterly way to dis
gorge part of the nutriment provision
ally stored in her own stomach.
Ants proceed in the same way as bees,
but in addition the ant thus sustained is
very careful to show her gratitude.
"The ant who feels the need of food, "
says Huber, "begins by tapping her two
antenn@, with very rapid movement,
upon the antenn@ of the ant from whom
she expects succor. Immediately they
may be seen approaching one another
with open mouth and extended tongue
for the communication of the liquid
which one passes to the other. During
this operation the ant who receives nour-
ishment does not cease to caress the
friend who is feeding her, continuing to
move her antenn@ with singular ac
tivity."-"Property; Its Origin and De
velopment."

discovered Their Loss from a Friend

A small boy recently brought q ladies'
gold watch into a Lewiston jewelry
store and desired to have broken crys-
tai replaced. The dealer had repaired
the watch few days before and he had
its number and at once recognized it..
The rightful owner of the watch, as it
happens, lives neighbor to the jeweler,
and when he went home to supper that
night he called and asked them if they
had sent the watch to the shop for re-
pairs. They said they had not. He
asked them if they had lent the watch
to any one and the answer was in the
negative.
They were quite sure the watch was
in the case where they had left it. At
the request of the jeweler they looked
and to their great surprise the watch
was not there. The jeweler then pro-
duced the property and told of the boys
coming to the store to have the crystal
put in. That was the first intimation
the family had Of being robbed. Lewis

KINDLY DONE.
A Pretty Story of Clever French Critic
and His Two Friends.

Many odd and amusing stories are
told of the clever French critic, Jules
Janin, and his friends. None is more
pleasing or more to their credit than
one in which Janin, Theodore Burette,
the historian, and Leon Satayes, the
composer, author and critic, figured.
One of Janin's best friends was an old
aunt, who sent him to school when he
was boy, kept house for him and took
good care of him when he, Young
man, was making his reputation. but
not much money, in literature.
1t was perhaps in memory of her that
he made a protege of poor old woman
whom he noticed one day in the street.
He placed her in home for aged per-
sons, and until her death years after
ward was her thoughtful and generous
friend. The good woman was verv ill
once, and when she was convalescing
she said:
IL want to go and call on M. Janin. I
must see him once more before die"
One Of the women of the institution
went with her. Janin was living then
in the top of house which commanded
q beautiful view of the garden of the
Luxembourg. His "garret'' was filled
with books and pictures, but like any
other garret it was reached by climbing
great many stairs Slowly and pain
fully the old woman toiled up the long
flights. She had to sit down often to
rest. 1t took her nearly two hours to
reach the top. Janin was breakfasting
with Theodore Burette.
He received her with great cordiality
and affection, and the three had happy
breakfast. The two men devoted them
selves to entertaining her. They in
Quired all about the home, the rules, the
diversions, the food, her recent illness,
and listened with genial interest to ali
she had to say. She said goodby, and
they made ready to escort her down
stairs.
"We will return your visit soon," they
said, and placing themselves on either
side of her they began to descend the
stairs. But the effort and excitement
had been too much for the feeble old
lady. Her limbs failed her and she
could not take step.
just then Satayes appeared on the
scene. "We must carry her down." he
said. So they placed her comfortably
in an armchair. Janin and Burette,
who were small men, took the back,
Satayes took the front, and they went
down fight after flight of the many
storied house breathless but cheerful.

.errc1A1 TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
CHICoRA, Feb New Developments in
the case of the Hoyt bank failure are so
sensational that an expert accountant has
been sent for. This morning the appraisers
started to investigate the books the ap-
praisers found number of accounts largely
overdrawn. Some are for comparatively
small amounts, while others run away up
into the thousands. The account of one
person, for instance, who is prominent in
the county, and superintendent OF several
oil concerns, is overdrawn between 5000
and $4,000 while others also run up into the
thousands.
These overdrafts are certain to bring
trouble to those concerned in the oil
companies, as it is the stated intention to
collect every dollar, if possible. The result
OF to-days examination shows the assets to
be not more tnan $40, ,0OO, and liabilities three
times that sum. Among the books and
papers were found a number of dead and
worthless notes aggregating several thou
sands of dollars, which are not worth
penny on the hundred. Owen Brady, who
made an assignment last fall, is overdrawn
to the extent of 1000.
People here are greatly agitated, though it
is not believed any business firm will be
pushed to the wall The books will be e1-
amined for years back, and an effort will be
made to have the original stockholders set
tie.

LAST RESULTS OF A TRAGEDY.
The Final Complications of the Old Baker

STEUBESvILLE, FeD. 2-[SpecidL l-Another,
and probably the final chapter in the cele-
brated Baker case. was written to-day In the
Circuit Court of Hancock comfy, w. Va,
when Robert 2. Patterson, executor in the
estate of Drusilla McWhs and Eliza j. Baker
turned over to the guardian of Albert Lee,
residuarY legatee of both victims of the
awful tragedy. the sum of $4,000 The exc
cuuor purchased the claim of murderer Van
Baker, which had been assigned to his at
tOrney after he had been convicted and sent
to the penitentiary for life for the killing of
Mrs. Baker and her mother Drusilla McWha,
This ends the last complication OF the
estate which grew ont of the murder. While
Nan Baker was in Wisconsin his wife wrote
that her mother had made a will bequeath-
ing her property to her Mrs. Bakery, and
in the event of her death, to the grandson.
Mrs. Baker had also made a will beQueath-
ing her husband 81, 900 and making the same
grandson a residuary legatee. Baker wrote
TO a lawyer asking for information re-
Earding inheritance. He was answered that
II the mother died first the daughter would
inherit under the will, and if the daughter
died without a will her husband would in
herit all. That was the motive of his double
crime, which was committed in 1857.
