of the whisky trust. left Peoria tonight
saying he had accomplished his mission in
securing proposals for the sale OF 81. .oo0. 900
In bonds. Contrary to expectations he did
not close the sale. and from the fact that
the proposal viii be submitted to the direc-
tors at Peoria on Monday it is believed
that the bid was less than was expected,
for Greenhus stated on Friday that he and
Secretary Hennessy would close the deal

while the lookers-on grew impatient, as
those who have nothing at stake will,

Their morbid desires seemed an

The news spread like wiidfire, until
it seemed the entire town had lost its

Reuben Falconer's guilt, his arrest was
demanded by all IN terms not to be

he was not to be found.
Jimmie was at the house, however,
suffering from a raging fever, and
while the sheriff and his posse pursued
the fugitive, others cared for the sick
boy. The latter was rational by spells,
when his lips were sealed over the

THE FCx-TERTiER.
It IL One of the Most Useful as Well as
Most Popular of Dogs.

Of all small dogs the fox-terrier is
the most engaging, and for many years
has been the most fashionable compan-
ion for young men. He was originally
kept as an addition to every pack of
foX-hounds, and was used to worry the
fox out of a hole when in the chase
Reynard had gone to ground. OF re-
cent years, however, the fox-hound has
developed so much speed that the little
terrier can not keep up in the chase.
For awhile a huntsman used to carry
foX-terrier on horse back to be used in
case the fox went to ground, but nova
Gays, in hunting countries, fox-ter-
riers are so numerous that one can al
ways be had for the huntsmans use in
any neighborhood. The fox-terrier is
the most gentlemanlike of all dogs,
and his cleanlv habits make him well
come wherever he is known. He is
also as courage as possible. The
writer once saw at the Central Park
menagerie small fox-terrier chained
in an elephat's cage. The two were
evidently good friends ordinarily, but
something was wrong the day the
writer saw them. The terrier was "
ing in his corner evidently in the sulks.
The elephant, with comical twinkle of
his eyes, would pick up straws with
his trunk and drop them on the
dog. The terrier for awhile shook
these off, and merely growled
Then, his patience worn out.
he jumped out and dash
ed at the elephant with savage anger
He went as far as his chain would let
him. The huge elephant backed as far
as he could into a corner. and seemed
to be trying to make himself as small
as possible. But there was a twinkle
in his eyes, and there seemed to be
smile on his face. The fox-terrier tug
ged at his chain. and acted as though
he would eat that elephant up if he
could get at him. 1t was a most com
icai sight. There is no better dog to
destroy vermin. and he courses rabbits
with much zest. 4 good fox-terrier
puppy costs from five to one hundred
dollars. Mr.. August Belmon, several
years ago paid in England five hundred
guineas for his dog Lucifer..

WHAT THEN THEN.

What If the stars should never return.
The stars that sparkle. and glow, and burn
What il some night this glittering train
Should brightly gleam-but never again!
What II the sun. some beautiful day,
Should strangely, suddenly pass away:
Should hide forever its beautiful face,
And never bring back the charming daysf
And thus the mellow and cheerful light
Give place to utter, eternal night
Alasi a-iack- k-a-dayl-adayf-amaz
A loss, as . lack Of all the days.
What If the birds should cease their song,
And fee in absence, 50 sad and long,
That we should never hear them again
Flown away eyer-ah, mel what then?
What il the brooklets should hush their voice
And never again bid hearts rejoice
With their silver tones OF rninstrelsy;
Forever silenced-what then? ah mel
What il the winter its sway should hold
Right on, and on, with its storms nd cold:
Locking the world in its long embrace,
And never give back the summer days?
What II the flowers should cease TO bloom
Again shut up in eternal gloom,
In death. oblivion and decay,
With fragrance and beauty all for aye:
What if our sorrows and fears and doubt,
And blightea hopes. should linger about
Us forever, again and again
To utterly crush our joys-what them
What il this vision should come to pass
With all our imaginings
But then-O comforting thought Blu: theni
All these things will come back again.
