TO STOP A DOGS HOWL.

nc Ola His Best But Ills Efforts Were
Not Appreciated.
It's a dreadful thing to be super
Ktitious, isn't it.
have an acquaintance who is above
( anything of the sort, except upon the
subject of dogs bowling. This is a
thing she can't endure.
There is a kennel located two doors
from her house, in the back yard of a
neighbor, and very often indeed her
ing out to him.
On one occasion, near daylight. when
he couldn't be awakened by this means,
she threw pillow over at him, and it
struck him square in the face
He gave smothered yell, threw his
arms around wildly, and sat up gasp
ing:
whats the matter?"
81 thought you'd never wake up, Jus;
hear that dog howl?'
Dog? But what struck me in the
face, them"
"Oh, ] threw pillow at you. never
knew anyone to sleep so soundly.''
We'll, upon my word. Is it such a
crime TO sleep?'
Just hear that dog. I'm frightened
to death. I'm sure ba by's going to die. :"
Don't be fool
Then bright idea struck him
THAT isn't dog. That's the ferry
boat whistle. It's foggy night"
THE idea. As if ferry boats could
whistle like that
Just at this moment the dog began a
rrescendo movement that was ALSO
lutely startling.
George, | won't stand it another
minute. You must get right up and go
to that house and tell them to stop it. .
AT this hour of the morning? guess
not. / suppose the brute's hungry"
perhaps he is. / have thought of
that. George, dear, go down to the
refrigerator and you'll find a piece of
fish left over from dinner. It's in the
right-hand corner on top of everything
Throw it over to the dog"
So George arose and donned some
clothes. and, taking some matches. he
felt his way downstairs, growing all
the time
OF course he didn't find the fish, be-
cause it was in plain sight, but he
slipped things over and spluttered and
Swore, the dog in the meantime per-
forming marvels in the way of canine
.cadenzas.
Something had to be done.
There We're toma toes and asparagus
and green peas, but dogs don't care for
those things, so George dug deeper.
and at length came upon a magnificent
porterhouse steak.
It was fine enough for any family. 1t
ought TO suit a dog.
SO he dashed out into the backyard,
,eccompani MED by the steak, and, locat-
ing the animal by his bowls, hurled the
Wand over the fence.
The noise stopped instantly, and
George went back to bed.
He knew that an awful reckoning
awaited him in the morning, but peace
at any price was his motto.
did you find the fish, dear?7
''Yes, the dogs ca ting it,
SO they dropped off to sleep again, |
but not for long.
AS the grey dawn crept into the |
room they were awakened by howl |
that was simply hideous.
The terror-stricken wife sprang from |
her couch. and went to the window
/ BY the dawn's early light she saw
the dog Juggling at his chain, while (
three inches from his nose lay magni- |
cent steak.
She recognized it at once. They were
to have had it for breakfast
1t did not grace their morning meal,
but in place of it there was converse

shall remember to his dying day.-N.

relief. The result Of months Of patient
labor may now be seen at the old home.
1t is an exquisite piece Of work in the
shape Of an oak mantel and mirror
frame. Around the frame and mantel
edge are wreaths Of oak leaves and
acorns, while in the center of the man
telpiece in clear bas-relief is collection
of daisies, callas and cattails. The hearth
of the mantel contains over 10 different
pieces Of wood. This was Mr.. Bartels'
first triumph, and yet with the old jack
knife he continued to execute wonders.
Mr.. Bartels states that his master
piece, so considered by him, is the bas-
relief carving in ST. Johns Episcopal
church at Keokuk, Ia, representing
Christ carrying his cross to Calvary.
This piece of work is considered the fin
est wood carving extant. In this church
also, besides the exquisite carved altar
and chancel rail, are the seven martyr
emblems in bas-relief. Of the so oak
carved seats in the church no two of
ship.
A friend of Mr.. Bartels residing near
Springfield, as stated, has presented him
with an oak log which came from the
farm upon which Abraham Lincoln once
lived in this state. This log will be
worked up into some beautiful emblem
or many of them doubtless, which will
appropriately commemorate the name OF
the martyr president,
GAY DAVIDSON.

but one woman wearing a bonnet. A
light lace shawl around the shoulders
or thrown over the head and fan are the
protection used by a Havana lady
against the sun. The men who labor
dress very lightly. An undershirt and
pair of trousers are sufficient raiment.
Children Of tender ages are often in q
most Edenlike state, but nobody notices
such things. Even women stroll around

looseness or scarcity of garments that
would cause a pious northerner to shut

preme legislature, says ''the Chinese

Dennis Kearney was born in Oakmont,
County Cork, Ireland, went to sea when
a small boy, reached New York as a
sailor at the age of II, and at 10 was cap
tain of sailing vessel. Evidently such
man had good deal in him. His edu.
cation was such as he could acquire
while at sea, his strong point being a
marvellous command Of vituperative
rhetoric. His ideas Of English may be
judged from his favorite expression,
''lecherous bondholders." Hepronounced
it ''leecherous" and took it to mean hav-
ing the nature of a leech.
In 1877 he led In organizing the Work
ingmen's party, which carried the state
year or two later and embodied it's views
in that peculiar organic law Familiarity
known as the "Denis Kearney consti-
tuition" He is far from attractive in
personal appearance and has very little
of what is called magnetism, but he
talks to plain people in way they un-
derstand, not always sparing profanity.
In July, 1878, he opened in Boston his
famous eastern campaign. After max
ing many addresses in various cities he
returned to San Francisco and once
more became "the agitator of the sand
lots"
But his second campaign was an ap-
parent failure, and in 1880 the working
men deposed him from the presidency
of their organization. In 1888 he went
to New York, but the workingmen voted
against having him speak for them. Tt
was in 1868 that he arrived in San Fran
cisco as captain of a sailing vessel and
soon after became a drayman, and in
1885 it was reported that he was again a
drayman and silent in politics. But in
1888 he was in Washington working for
the passage of the Chinese exclusion bill,
and now it appears that he is again
power in San Francisco. BE his faults

he must be credited or charged with Civ

CARTHAGE, Ills, June ga middle
aged man walked into Carthage from his
country home, mile northwest of the
town, one day last week, and in his hand
he carried a delicately carved gavel. It
is the gavel to be used in the ceremonies
of closing the Worlds Columbian expo
sition at Chicago Oct. 81, 1898. W. Fl.
Bartels is the man who wrought this
wonder by his own hand. No sooner
had he reached town with his precious
have photograph taken of it and him
self as well. In his hand he is holding
the gavel with which Mr.. Lafayette
Funk as president Of the Illinois board
of managers will officially close the great
fair. This gavel was made expressly for
this purpose by Mr.. Bartels upon the re.
quest of the board of managers.
A mere description of the gavel will
not convey the actual beauty Of the
piece. It contains 70 different pieces Of
wood, most deliberately carved and in
laid. The gayel proper is made of very
choice cherry burl which shows the
birdseyes. One end is so carved that it
can be inlaid with gold, upon which an
appropriate inscription will be engraved.
The other end contains Mr.. Funk's mi
tials, "L. f." in a beautiful monogram
inlaid in aspen, walnut and sumac. The
shaft of the handle is carved and is in
laid in Italian marquetry and is dream
of art.
The Bartels farm, consisting of about
So acres, lies at the edge of beautiful
strip of timber trifie more than a mile
northwest of Carthage. Upon its site in
the early days was erected possibly one
of the first saw1nills in this part of Hi
nois. James Benbow, a pioneer citi-
zen, says that he made the rails for the
old fence that encircles this farm in 1841.
That was more than half century ago,
and yet reproduced in beauty and won
der of artistic carving are many of these
old rails. The frame from which smiles
the features of Mr.. Bartels' aged moth
er in the exhibit in the governors room
in the Illinois state building is made
from some Of these old oak rails. Many
other pieces of furniture in that exhibit
are made Of these rails.
William Bartels, ST., settled on this
farm in 1858. After his death William
the younger came home from Chicago to
look after the farm and the aged mother.
About IA years ago he was the victim of
a siege of typhoid fever. During the
weary days of convalescence he passed
the time whiting with an old jackknife.
One of the old oak rails furnished the
material, and before the young man
knew exactly what he was doing there

Special Correspondence.l

HAVANA, June 17.-The first thing we
see in Havana is cigarette. Its odor is
the last memory that is waited to us as
we leave the harbor. The pilot who
boards our vessel smokes cigarette, the
bumooat man who importunes us when
we drop anchor smokes cigarette, and
when we land at the wharf cigarette
is poked into our face Cigarette rolling
is in high stage of perfection in Cuba.
The American young man can learn a
good deal in this direction. The Cuban

He is entirely oblivious Of his fingers.
