WISE DOG FoR ST.. LOUIS.
A Canine Which Shows Intelligence
Far Above the Average.
From the St. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat.

Prom the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
There is a gentleman in St. Louis who
owns dog he would not sell for $1,000.
The gentleman is a paralytic, having lost
the use of his lower limbs, though he can
use his arms and hands as well as any
body, and his mental faculties are un-
usually bright. The attendants are ac-
customed to bring his meals ana place
them On little rolling stand by his bed
ana he helps himself when he
pleases, and, in order to at
tract attention TO his wants, lzecrs
a large cane by his bedside with which
he knocks on the floor. The doc is greatly
attached to the invalid, sleeps under his
bed at night and sits IN the COON most OF
the day, but is a born thief and nothing.
has ever been able TO break him of his
propensity to steal. On several occasions,
few months ago. the invalid detected
the dog stealing his breakfast from the
stand and gave MIN a sharp rap of the
cane as an incentive TO honesty The
canine apparently took the hint, bat

that the dog was dragging the cane away.
Curious 70 witness what would follow. he
awaited developments. After the dog
had dragged tho cane TO a safe distance
he came back, took hold of the bottom
round of the stand, which moved lightly
on rollers, with his mouth and dragged
II five or six feet from the bed. then
helped himself to what ne wanted The
cunning Of the dog in getting q dinner
without running any risk of a beating at

1t IS sad to recall the previous winners
Of the Brooklyn handicap, for in the
record the lost hopes of many an owner,
and perhaps the broken heart of horse
may be found
Grand old Tennv, who won in 1881 in
no fat; Exile, who wore the laurel in
1889, in zoos; The Bard, whose arching
neck few past the post in lib fiat in lSSs
all these winners. and Castaway H.. left
in their wake trail Of sad disappoint-
nents.
The present handicap Of 1898 win have
the same trail There can be but one
winner, and in the shouts that will greet
him the losers Will he forgotten.
The Brooklyn handicap has steadily
grown until it is now one Of the most i'm
portant stakes in this or any other cOun-
try.
If the weather is clear tomorrow and
the track good the favorite viii not be he
who would have held that proud position

thority on racing you will be known as.

The Ex-Champion.

John l.. sullivan, who for y long
Years held the title of champion pu-
gilist OF the world, was in the city
recently. says the Galesburg Mail,
and was the admired of hundreds of
people around the Union hotel today.
Since his last appearance here, and
since he met defeat at the hands of
James J. Corbett. Sullivan has had
his big. heavy mustache shaved off.
and he now resembles n young school
boy. The Mail reporter has known
John since childhood. but he was
completely fooled when he met the
eX-champion this morning and asked
what he thought OF the Corbett-
Mitchell fight. He answered that
he had not thought much
about the fight, but that it was
his opinion that Corbett would win.
Mitchell i greac deal the hardest
hitter. but Corbott Is quicker and
gets out OF the way of the hard jabs.
Sullivan said he thought. however,
that both the men were doing too
much talking for their own good.
John also said that he had not de-
cided vet whether he would do any
more fighting or not. He was con-
fdent though thai he could 20 into
the ring and make as good a showing
as ever. He says that his new play,
The Man From Boston," Is one of
the very best on the road.

The I.leCiriI Ian MaItgcd.

A diminutive electric fan in the Office
of the department Of public works was
located on window sill. where its noise
disturbed the clerks, and they placed it
upoI u metal heater. The instant the
current was turned on the electricity
performed d clog dance and waltzed the
fan al over the heater. All the time the
blue fiuiI flashed out in two foot lengths,
and the burning and whirring of the
swift revolving wheel nearly caused a
stampede in the Office, But relief came
at last when the machine with mighty
effort, as if to get away from the heater
danced off the side of it and fell with a
bump on the floor, bringing the circus to
a close.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
