Reub on the Rampage.

Some amusement was created in a
dry goods store in the city the other
day when farmer came in to make a
purchase He bought some calico, and
when the clerk placed the tive-dollar
bill the farmer gave him in the cash
ball and sent it spinning toward the
cashiers desk funny sight was wit
messed. Our rural friend evidently
thought that was the last he would
ever see of his bill unless he moved
lively, which he did, keeping his eyes
fixed on the ball He collided with an
old lady, fell over one of the seats, re-
gained his feet and kept right on until
he arrived at the cashiers desk. "By
gosh! | want my money! he gasped.
I've read too much about bunco
steeTers to lose my money, and I'll
have my change if | clean out the
whole shebang!" He was finally paci-
fed and departed amid the broad
smiles of the clerks and cuslonIc RS in
the store. As he went out he NUT
tered: "lf | don't come to the city
very often. them swindlers can't catch
me with their sawdust gameS"-Iowa

A TIMELY INVOCATION.
How the Parrot Slightly Disconnected .
Burglar.


A maiden lady, who lives alore ex-
cept for her servants, owns q fine par
rot which her nephew brought back
from visit to South America. The
bird was sent to a professional trainer
to be taught to speak. but when it was
returned it obstinately refused to utter a
word, and its mistress decided that the
teaching had been failure. Polly's
cage hung in a dressing-room which
adjoined its mistress chamber, and at
night the door between the two rooms
was left open.
One night burglar got into the
house, and after packing up the silver
below stairs, crept stealthily up to the
chamber of the lady, where he pro-
ceeded to gather together her jewelry.
He had got most of her valuables into
a handbag without awakening her,
when suddenly an unearthly voice
from the next room called out loud
enough to arouse the seven sleepers
God bless our home! God bless our
home!"
The burglar was so startled that he
uIOppcu HIS udTh ldHUeT0. ana tne0, In
trying to recover, stumbled over a chair
and pitched headlong to the floor. The
lady, suddenly awakened, screamed at
the top of her voice, and the thief, now
thoroughly demoralized, took flying
leap for the stairway outside the door
of the chamber lie slipped, fell and
broke his leg, so that he was easily
captured by the butler and coachman,
who had come to the rescue of their
mistress.
All this time the parrot had continued
to cry at the top of its lungs:
God bless our home! God bless our
home!"
Polly evidently felt that the time for
talking had come, and under the cir
cumstances her mistress could not we'll
get out of patience with her, although
she screamed this one sentence for the
rest of the night Having begun to
talk, indeed she continued to chatter
for the rest of her life, and was looked
upon as remarkably accomplished
parrot.-Youth's Companion.

Two dogs male and female. were
seen by the policeman at the foot of
Third street about dark last night look
ing attentively over the edge of the
dock. Suddenly one was seen to plunge
into the river, while the other stood on
the dock a few moments, showing every
sign of delight, and then it, too, was
seen to plunge into the water. The DO
liceman, thinking that perhaps the dog
owners had fallen overheard and chat
the dogs had plunged in to rescue them,
fastened to the scene. No man was
there, but in the mouth of each dog a
large water rat was struggling for lib
erty while the dogs tiercely tried to
shake the life out of them
The policeman carried the dogs, after
getting them from the water, and
brought them to the central station. at
which soon after the owner, who lives
at Crosse Pointe, called for them. They
were species known as fish hounds
and had been brought from the south
They resembled the Mexican in color
and in having no hair save tuft on the
forehead, but in size they were as large
as foXhounds. Their owner, a fisher
man, living at Crosse Pointe, catches
his fish with a seine. and the fish are
afterward placed in a staked inclosur-
When fish are wanted the dogs are so
trained that they plunge in and bring
the desired one to their master. They
are held at good stiff price, as the
owner finds them source of great

That vas the way 1t was with Sam
Colvin. Sam was in the law, and not
doing SO very well either. He was a
pleasant, honest, plodding, hard-work-
ing fellow, but big cases didn't seem
to come his way.

he said to her one day, despondently.
Now Laura was able 70 measure a
mans depth pretty well; and while
Sam was not brilliant, she knew that
he had some ability, but he could not
make the opportunity for himself to
display it. So, womanlike, she deter
mined TO make it for him.
Somehow it began to be whispered
about that there was more in Sam Col.
vim than men thought He was con-
sentative and careful. See how he
had managed that jones' Jackson es-
tate. He was getting on in corporation
law. The air line road had retained
him to defend its trespass suits. Ned
Winfield had asked Sam to join him in
prosecuting the ballot sheet forgery
cases.
Laura, who could at that time call
any man she chose to her side, began
to show marked preference for Sam.
She listened deferentially to his ac-
counts of his work and of his growing
prosperity; let him explain knotty law
points to her during an evening tcts-a-
tete; and when he asked her, awkwafi-
ly and diffidently enough, to marry
him, she consented very prettily, and
made Sam think he was favored of the
gods.
And this is why her friends say:
Poor Laura Colvin." For, from a
purely worldly point view, Sam is the
least of the many men who have
thrown themselves at her feet lie is
a plodding lawyer He will never be
great or rich or famous He is little
dull socially, but he is devoted hus-

won her. Earth holds no greater
heaven for him than to sitin the twi-
light and listen to the music of her
voice as she sings for him, alone; and
in this Laura never stints him.
For Sam, Laura possesses attributes
that far overshadow all defects, and
she knows this, and so feels safe But if
she had married Ned Whitfield he is

and it still stands in her favor. With
another, it might not have been so.

DASH RACES.
They Will Be Tried by the Pacific
Associations

The annual meeting Of the Pacific Coast
Trotting-horse Breeders Association was
held in the Office of the Breeder and Sports
man Monday evening.
The main business before the meeting was
the election OF officers and the consideration
OF important questions affecting irotting
races.
After the preliminaries had been gone
through with the secretary read his report.
which shows that the association has had
very prosperous season. Both meetings
the summer meeting AT the Bay District
Track and the fall meeting at the Oakland
TTack-show a profit which leaves the
association with over 5000 in the treasury
motion was made that the association
hereafter give dash races in stead of heat
races. The matter was discussed at some
length and while some were opposed TO it n
large ma jority OF those present favored it az
an experiment and it is more than likely
that II will be tried at the next race meeting
OF the association, " hieh will be held next
summer
1t seems to be the general opinion that
dash races Tor t:otters and racers would
prove fully as popular as Tor runners, and
there is no reason why the plan should not
be adopted.
1t took a long time for the running asso-
Citations TO adopt their present method,
which are unqGestinnabiy an improvement
on long drawn-out heat races. as they prove
more interesting TO the public and profitable
TO horsemen.
In case trot.Ing meetings were given on
his plan, books would be made on the races
the same as at the running me etings, which
wonld be another source of profit to the as
ISOLATION. 1t would also do away with
great deal of jobbery that exists under The
present system and would lead 20 more hor-
est racing.
The next business taken up was the cleo
ton of fourteen directors. The following
gentlemen received majority of the ballots
cast ana were declared elected: Joseph
CaiIn Simpson, John f: Boyd. F. Ii. Burke.
