THE DEADLY DOG.

A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker, in a recent issue, had an interest ing article concerning dogs, which applies Ito his town:
 r About two miles from a certain town in Illinois lives farmer who owns flock of very fine Cotswold sheep. In the said town lives 8 gentleman who is quite a ''sport," and owns a varied assortment of fighting, hunting, and other dogs, all of which are very fond of raw lamb chops and legs of mutton. One day the farmer met the ''sport'' on the road, and, greet ing him pleasantly, remarked: ,"Jenks, your dogs and my sheep seem to be getting mighty friendly of late. I believe they lie down together in my pas ture every night, my sheep inside of your dogs."
 Do you reckon?" said Jenks, slowly, closing one eye and cooking the other.
 "I do,'' said the farmer, stroking his beard thoughtfully.
 l Well" chippered Jenks, cheerfully, "my dogs allus was noted for their friend ly disposition an hospitality. In that re- spect they're jest like myself-I won't charge your sheep anything for storage, lodging or entertainment! Get up, Dol lyW And now they don't speak as they pass by.
 s4sn't it little singular that the farmer is compelled by law to put fence about his sheep and keep them on his own land, while the dogs of such chaps as Jenks are allowed by law to roam at large day and night? But, as the farmers who raise sheep are vastly out-numbered by the farmers who raise dogs and whose senti- ments are: t'The man wot kicks my dog kicks mel" it's not likely that any law abridging the privilege of the sanguinary cur to wander abroad at his own sweet will and devour the gentle lambkin will be enacted very soon.
 II have piece of woodland over there that would make splendid sheep pasture if I could use it for that purpose, ,n,said g farmer to me one day. ..-ta
 ,"And why can't you use it ?" asked.
 "Too many mean dogs prowling around They'd eat up flock of sheep over there in less than a week !"
 I And when I called at his home, two fierce dogs came forth and threatened to rend me in twain. They were his owr special pets.
 Driving up to the house of another q T. greeted by three tough-looking mongrels

If what John P. Fredd, prominent farmer of Walnut Glen, Montgomery coun- ty, N. r., says is true, there is likely to be some commotion in the paris green market, for Farmer Fredd declares that there has appeared on his farm and ad- joining farms destroyer of the potato bug that can discount paris green. And the; most important part of it is that this new destroyer does not cost anything, fol it is living creature, and seems to be working for the mere pleasure of the thing. The potato bug appeared in Mont gOmery county in unusual numbers this season, which was thought strange, as there had been none to speak of for the past two seasons. The other day Farmer Fredd went out in his potato field to dose the ravaging beetles with paris green when he was surprised to see not one oi them on his grounds where he started in but they lay dead on the ground by hun. dreds. He went on and soon found an explanation of the curious sight. He dis. ooNOACu d SWdEW OA luSOcUS, bu0 llk0 Ol which he had never seen or heard of They were no longer than the potato bee tie, but narrower, and had red wings They were bouncing down upon the DO tato pest as far as he could see. One would seize a potato bug and evidently sting 1t in the neck, when the potato bug would instantly drop to the ground dead So fierce and untiring was this winged Nemesis of the bug from Colorado that not one was left alive in it's path, tht ground being covered with pests between the rows. The destroyers followed sys tematically the rows of vines, some going in one direction across the field and some in another. There were thousands of red winged insects, and so rapidly did the. work that they cleared the field of potato bugs in few hours. Since Farmer Fredt made his report on the discovery of this strange but beneficent insect, the Nev York Sun says, other farmers have come in with the word that the same fly is a work on their potato fields, and there i. consequently much joy in that potato growing neighborhood.

Forget ting to throw his machine knives out of gear, Mr..

Before MT. Chapel could get out of the way the cutter bar was upon him and with the knives in full play be- gan to lacerate his legs between the ankle and Knee. MT. Chapel, realizing his danger, threw himself on to the ground, l grasped the end of the cutter bar and lift ed it over his body, but not until the calves of his legs had been terribly cut. On the right leg the tendon Achilles was completely severed. MT. Chapel was taken to Willimantic in wagon and his wounds were dressed by Surgeon John several weeks before the young man will be able to use his right leg.

 7! Hartford Courant The story of the tender of Baptist church in Long Island City to Roman Catholic congregation and it's use by them, recalls an interesting event in the history of Hartford, which shows that the Long Island occurrence is not without an early precedent. Away back in 1913 it was forbidden to people even to journey on Sunday, and a Roman Catholic priest, bound from Boston to New York, found himself stranded here one Saturday night. The pastor of the Center Congregational church was Dr.. Nathan Strong. The Center was the first church established here. the nucleus about which Connecticut was formed, the very home of Congregationalism. Ac- 'cerding to the History of Hartford Coun- ty,'' Dr. Strong, hearing that the Rev. MT. Martignon was in town, invited him to his church and gave him the building for his use part of that Sunday: and the Ro- man Catholic priest held service of his own here, in the Center church, the build ing now standing, which was erected in 1907. People who are surprised at the Long Island liberality of to-day sholl observe that it is only the repetition of the courtesy that eighty years earlier was shown in Hartford by the pastor and peo. pie of the oldest Congregational church in the state.

There their arrival attracted much attention, but when, after brushing the hay-seed from their gar ments, they entered the hall ready to greet everything on the program with hearty applause, and later to do their duty well by the refreshment tables, they found no mean addition to the audience. After the entertainment was over, sing ing, frequently interrupted by shouts of laughter, beguiled the drive home, and, as they neared the village, three cheers for MT. Dawley. whose team they were using, were proposed and given with a will. At midnight the wagon drove up before MT.
