DOGS PATHETIC SEARCH.

He Looks for His Little Master Who
Was in the Grave.
Several residents of the southeastern
section of the city have with the past
few days witnessed a very touching eX
the part of dog for it's master A few
days ago little Richie Alisch, 12-vear-
old boy residing with his mother on
Barth Avenue, was run over and in
stantly killed bv Belt train near the
Big Four crossing. Several years ago
Richie undertook to earn a little money
for himself outside of school hours and
turned his attention to working UP a
newspaper route. AS time advanced
his promptness and pleasant manners
were rewarded with increased patron
age from persons in the neighborhood,
all of whom knew him and admired bis
energy and industry, until at the time
Of his sudden death he had a large
route. AS a companion on his daily
rounds he had dog, which he loved
dearly, and which evidently loved him
even as much. The dog came to be
as we'll known to little Richie's
patrons as the boy himself. Promptly,
every evening, at the same hour,
little Richie and his dog came around
With the paper. IlIIle h1cnle no longer
makes his daily rounds, bringing to his
friends and patrons the news OF the
day, but the ever faithful little dog has
no t realized that his little master, who
loved him, has departed for another
world Every evening, at the usual
hour, the dog is seen trotting around
the old route, and there seems to be a
| look of anxiety in his eye as he trOts
around looking for his master. The
| dog seems to think that his little master
must be somewhere on the old route,
and is puzzled to know why he can not
| find him Little Richie was accustomed
to spending few minutes with his
father, who had separated from his
mother, every evening after completing
his rounds with his papers, and the dog
would, during this time, lie at the gate
waiting for him, and now, after travel
! ing over the entire route, the dog goes
to the house occupied by his little mas
ter's father, and waits as usual. When
! the boy fails to make his appearance
the dog arises slowly, and, with look
of almost human detection on his face
trots off to the home of the mother
with whom the boy lived, and waits
there till the next evening, when he
starts out again on the futile search fol
little Richie, the kind master.-Indidn

ONE AT A TIME.

One step at time, and that well placed,
We reach the grandest height;
One stroke at a time earth hidden stores
Will slowly come to light:
one seed at a time, and the forest grows;
One drop at time, and the river flows
Into the bOundless sea.
One word at time, and the greatest book
Is written and is read;
One stone at time, palace lears
Aloft its stately head;
One blow at a time, and the trees cleft through,
And "a city will stand where the forest grew
A few short years before.
One foe at a time, and he subdued
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at time and the sands of life
Will slowly all be run.
One minute, another the hours fly;
One day at a time, and our lives speed by
Into eternity.
One grain of knowledge, and that well stored,
Another and more on them;
And as time rolls on your mind Will shine
With many a garnered gem
0fthought and wisdom And time Will tell,
lone thing at time, and that done WE'LL"
Is wiSdom's proven rule
Golden Days.

\ Paris municipal councillor, NJ.
Georges Berry, has been exploring all
sorts Of out-of-the-way places with a
view to presenting to the council a re-
port on beggars and begging in the
French capital. Under disguised beg
ging" he devotes a special chapter to
those strange trades which really come
under that heading, and he has also
much to say about the people who,
while not actually going begging them
selves, get their living out of those who
do.
Near the Ecole de Medicine, M
Berry found a woman who sells sets of
addresses of the charitably disposed to
begging-letter imposters. She sells two
sorts, the big set and the little set,
Gle grand jeu ct lie petit ieu.") The
little set is Of, and comprises 200 adj
dresses; for 15f one can have the
big set of $50 addresses, sufficient, said
the vendor, to enable anyone starting
in the business to earn his living for a
year. AS NJ. Berry bought a copy of
eacn set, doubtless the council will give
useful warning to the persons whose
addresses are given.
Ordinary street begging in Paris, it
appears, is reckoned to bring an aver
age of at least shilling an hour. Many
of the beggars sleep in the neighbour
hood of the Jardin des Plantes. A man
in that neighborhood makes a large in
come by affording shelter to them at the
rate of a penny head per night. He
is enabled to do this by hiring for a
small sum each, until regular attendants
are obtained for them, all the empty
shops and houses he can obtain.

Ministers Bounced By Vote.

A queer story comes from Ashland,
Kas. In common with the rest of the
country, the people of this town have
been feeling the pinch of hard times
They therefore determined to econo-
mize. The town is not very large, but
it has seven settled ministers, and it
was determined that one would suffice
until better times came. So a vote was
taken ON the question which of the
seven should be retained. The poll
showed a plurality of votes for the
Methodist minister, and therefore the
other six were discharged. 1t is pro-
posed that other towns in Kansas, es-
pecially those suffering from drouth,
shall adopt the same plan, and that the
money thus saved shall be given to the
needy This is practical movement in
the direction of Christian unity that will
hardly be pleasing to the discharged
clergymen, however strong may be
their theoretical belief in Christian
brotherhood. -TrOu Times

KAISER ON AN OUTING.
He's Then Different Man from th'
Emperor at Home.

He's Then a Different Man from the
Emperor at Home.
William IL. on vacation is different
man from the war lord OF Germany.
The Kaiser has naturally been most
conspicuous figure at Cowes, and his
democratic endowment of the holiday
makes him great tavorlte on board his
Yacht. He IS thoroughly unconven-
tional. and enters into all manner Of
sport with almost boyish zest. He treats
his associates as equals, and knows a
GOOD deal about the personal affairs of
every one of his crew He often ar
ranges races and various competitions
among the men, and sometimes tries a
wrestling bout himself with some friend
aboard. His kingly dignity is entirely
thrown aside when on a cruise, and all
sorts of merrymaling are INDUCED in.
On the way to Cowes the Yacht stopped
of wild spot on the shore where there
were many sea gulls. The Emperor
and several friends rowed ashore. He
took off his shoes and stockings, rolled
up his royal trousers, and padded
about III the water In apparently
great delight He skipped fiat
stones over the water till there
was quite q panic among the
lowering gulls Even amid the weeks
excitement at C0Wes the Emperor kept
no a careful oversight of the comfort OF
the men. \ characteristic little Incl
dent was overheard by visitor. The
Emperor always addressed a member
Of the crew as My son. Happening
to pass a man cleaning the deck, the
Kaiser said:
We'll, my son, what are you doing
thereof
ttlIaaDino yot1r MaipStV y
How many ma hours service did YOU
have yesterday 2"
From noon to 1 in the morning"
''Well, my son, you had better go and
lie down. The deck will get dirty
again, anyhow"
The Kaiser almost always tastes the
food Of the men at dinner time. 1t
beans are on the bill he has a plate re-
served for him, as they are his ''leib-
gericht." On Sundays he conducts
service, says prayers, reads the Bible,
and then reads short sermon from a
book of discourses. 1t is not true that
he ever breaches a sermon of his own.

A RICH REDSKIN.
Wolf, Chief of the Pa1ouse Indians, Ha
Land, Horses and Many Gold Pieces.

w OIL, Ch1ef OF the fdIOuS6 Indians, has
Land, Horses and Many Gold Pieces.
Residing at a place on the Snake
River known as Fishhook Bend, lives
the wealthiest Indian of his tribe,
Wolfe, chief of the Palouse Indians
He owns 100 acres of land, all under
cultivation, with good house and barn,
and we'll stocked. He raises horses
principally, being the possessor Of over
1000 head at the present time. He has
shipped several thousand head, at one
time shipping 1000 head and at another
1900. He is 40 years of age, but looks
much younger, and has a physique that
many wealthy paleface might envy.
Withall, he is a widower, having already
lost two "klootchman." He tells, with
pomp and pride, says the Walla Walla
WASH Statesman, Of his trip to Wash
as he expresses it, and his being pre-
scented to the "big man" at the "big
house." and of his photograph being
there.
His interpreter tells Of his fascination
for pretty paleface, and of his offer of
many horses if she would share his
couch and honors. He also tells of the
attention His Royal Highness received
while at Washington, and of the enjoy
ment the big chief seemed to derive
| therefrom. Wolf dresses in Indian
costume, with a red blanket thrown
artistically over one shoulder and cal
leo or white blouse shirt quite decollete
to display a necklace composed of
shells, etc. Rings adorn his fingers,
left hand being handsome seal
ring. Moccasins deliberately beaded
inclose his feet, and his hair
is cut with Modoc bang and combed
pompadour, while his long black hair is
divided into many strands, each bound
with colored silk thread. He wears a
hat, but adorns his head with turkey
feathers, the ends of which are bound
with red silk. Another favorite head
gear with him is simply the rim Of a
hat decorated all round with coyote
tails; this he wears upon state occasions.
Upon his wrists he wears ten or twelve
brass wire bracelets.
He is said to possess a most amiable
disposition, being always pleasant and
agreeable to his tillicums. He keeps a
double covered carriage and fine span
of horses, and drives into Pasco in state,
putting up his team at the livery stable
with instructions that he wants his
horses taken care of 'san1e as white
man." He buries his money, and is
fond of unearthing and counting it over
before his tillicums. At one time he
was known to count out $4,000 in $50
gold pieces. Shortly afterward he sent
his son to bring him $500, and upon in
vestigation, 10 and behold, the gold was
missing. They say the chief was much
worried over his loss, and has de-
tective employed to try and trace up
the thief, and believes he has hopes of
recovering it. When he comes to Walla
Walla he ferries across Snake River and
drives over in his carriage, or rides orc
of his horses, the latter being his favorite
way Of traveling-the true Indian style.
With all his wealth and good, comforta-
bic house, he has his tepee, and pre-
| f3rs living in it.

A Live Toad in a HaiIstone.

A hailstorm visited Pawtucket about
10 o'clock Saturday evening, such as has
not visited this vicinity for years, if with
in the memory of man. One woman
picked up hailstone and allowed it to
melt in her hand. She thought some
thing was inside the little piece of frozen
rain, but was surprised to find when all
had melted a little live toad or frog in
her had. There is quite general belief
that great many pebbles came down
with the hail.-ProUidenc Journal

Making Billiard Balls.

It does not look reasonable that six to
twelve months should be needed to
make billiard ball, but frst-class bali
cannot be made in less time. owing to
the tendency Of carved ivory TO shrink.
If it shrank equally a ball could be cut
and polished in few hours, but it does
not, the shrinking being greater in the
direction of the width than of the length
of the tusk. A ball must thus be rough
ly shaped, then kept for number OF
months until the shrinking process has
been completed, when the fine cutting
and polishing may be done.
