Further questioning ELECTED the fact that
his dogship had adopted the street cars as a
means of conveyance two or three weeks
before and was trying the patience OF
drivers and conductors.
The conductor volunteered the informa-
tion that until month ago the dog had been
permitted to ride in his masters buggy, but
having attained sufficient age to justify such
a course, had then been forced to trot be-
meath the buggy or stay at home Neither
plan suited his dogship, and he soon found
a way out of the difficulty.
Recently the physician was driving down
Clark street, when the dog boarded cable
car going in the same direction. He was
promptly put off by the conductor, but i'm
mediately jumped on again, only to be again
'fred," This was repeated until the con-
ductor became tired and the dog lay down in
triumph at the feet of his prosecutor. Since
that time the dog has used the cable cars in
his travels. He starts out with the doctor
in the morning, but soon leaves him for
some car and rides often to the end of the
line; sometimes he will remain on the car
for block or two and then desert it for one
going in the opposite direction. The con-
ductors have come to know him and he goes

A RATHER NOVEL DUEL,
Two Young Frontiersmen Settle Their Dis
Dutes With TarantulaS.

Two Young Frontiersmen Settle Their Dis
putes With Tarantulas.
In this country duels are rare, but when
they are fought with unusual weapons they
are even more of a novelty. One of the
strangest contests of this kind on record is
reported by the Galveston News, which
states that on the border line between Old
and New Mexico two young men, one a
Mexican and the other an American, had a
quarrel over a young woman whom both
loved, which resulted in the Mexican call
ing the American a coward. This was, OF
course, disputed by the American, who
proposed to test it by making an offer to 60
into dark room where lot of tarantulas
should be turned loose.
If either came out alive he was to have
the girl. If either showed the white feather
and came out before the death of the other
or before all the tarantulas were killed he
should give up all claim to the girl
The Mexican hesltated to accept the
challenge, but for fear of his accusation
falling upon his own head was compelled
to. The room was prepared and both
parties entered, but the doors had been
closed only short time when the Mexican
screamed out that he was bitten and was
dying. When taken out he staggered to
the floor as if dead, but on investigation it
was found that he was not bitten at all, but
had scratched his hand upon a nail in the
wall and he thought it was spiders bite.

Trieste, and has been explored for q
distance of nearly 5000 yards, as far as a
subterranean lake. The cavern comprises
several grottoes from 60 to 100 feet high
A little river runs through 1t, forming on
its way many cascades, which echo through
the recesses of the cavern. The entrance
to the cave is illuminated by hundreds of
electric lights, and a transparent curtain,
composed of large sheets of crystallized
limestone. hangs from the root The
largest of the grottoes is about $50 feet in
diameter and 100 feet high.
"On Whit Monday every year this Is
brilliantly lighted and great ball is held
in the cave. This grotto is adorned with

A STORY ABOUT KEENE,
How the Famous Cartoonist Won His Bet

Pail Mall Budgetl
In his life of Charles Keene Mr.. Layard
remarks that He enc was once staying with q
very famous painter, whose country house
was near Godalming. Ano ther painter was
of the party, and all three were going up to
London BY an early train.
They were discussing over the breakfast
table the probability of getting room in the
same carriage, when Charles Keene an.
nornced that he would promise them a COM
partment to themselves. No guard was to
be bribed, no porter was to be tampered
with, no consideration was to move from
customer to company, the thing was to be
done, and done silently. A bet was readily
made, for the feat to those who knew God
aiming traffic seemed an impossibility. The
three painters were early at the station, be-
fore the customary passengers arrived, and
easily secured compartment. Then Keere
gave his instructions to his friends. The
brother artists painted his face brown and
yellow and red, and muf11ed him in coats
and gave him the corner seat, near the
window
When the other passengers arrived they
avoided that carriage. They were business

tamiles-they were not going to travel with
patient in virulent smallpox. That at
least was certain. And on the way up a
dreadful idea occurred to them: Suppose
that very night they were to return in that
very compartment without knowing it. The
thing was too horrible. The guard was sent
for and instant action in the matter claimed.
And so the train was searched for that fever
stricken patient, and ever door was opened
and every passenger scanned, but Charles
keene had won his bet and washed his face.
