A Blind Mans Dog.

A blind man, piloted about the CEN
ter of the city yesterday by q dog, at
tr:.cted good deal of attention. The
man was neatly dressed, and carried
q satchel containing articles to sell
swung over his shoulder He carried
a stick in order to enable him to feel
his way up or down a step. The dog,
plump, we'll fed, brown animal, had
on a sort Of harness, to which stout
cord was attached from his back. He
was apparently in hurry to do
business, for he tugged at the cord
vigorously as he went along. Every
few steps he would look around at
his master in the most intelligent
way, as if to discover whether he
was coming along safely.
AS soon as he got to door he
stopped and looked up at his master.
If tho door was one on which was
posted the sign, 1.-THE other door,"
the man would try the knob, and as
soon as the dog saw that his master
could not go in he would immediate
ly move on to the next door. When
a door was opened the dog appeared
to understand exactly how to trans
act business. He would pilot his
master straight to the office, in the
back or front part Of the house, stop
and look up.
When anybody bought anything
and Good day was said, the ami
NAL would lead the way out again,
often looking around at his compan-
ion, and when the steeet was
reached he would be sure to start ex-
actly where he left off and try the
next door. If the animal was not
fond Of that man, the looks and ac-
tons of q dog go for nothing. --Balti-

Enllghtcning tho Counselor.


Correspondent Sam Johnston re-
called a party with stories about the
late Judge Baxter, who presided over
the Sixth district of the United States
circuit court. Among them was the
following:
Ed. Johnston, who is now one OF
the law partners of Judge Hoadly in
New York, once had a case before
Judge Baxter down in Tennessee.
and in the course Of his argument
remarked that it was plainly evident
that an injunction could not hc issued
against his client. Judge Baxter
interrupted him, saying that he
thought he was mistaken.
"Well, your honor, l must confess
that cannot see how it can be done.
said Nh. Johnston.
~ can very easily show you if
you desire me to, blandly observed
Baxter.
"Of course the attorney gallantly
expressed how grateful he would feel
if the honorable court would instruct
him. Baxter picked up a pen, seized
scrap of paper and hu1iedly wrote
out an order in the proper legal form
directing an injunction to 10 issued
against Johnston's client.
THAT is the way to do it, Mr..
Johnston said his honor. Mr.. Clerk.

The Immortal Soul.
BY VICTOR HUGO.

At dinner given to Victor Hugo IN
Paris, some years ago, says L Un'pers,
he delivered an impromptu address, in
which he gave expression to his faith
in the Infinite and in the souls immor-
tally. His friend, Houssaye, who was
present, says:
"Hugo at that time was a man OF
steel, with no sign OF old age about him.
but with all the agility, the suppleness,
the ease and grace of his best years.
He was contradlctlng the atheists, and
his friend says his face was bright
with the heavenly halo and his eyes
shone like burning Goals"
"'There are no occult forces, he
said 'shere are only luminous forces.

The newspapers are passing a deal OF
cheap wit at the expense Of Wyoming s
new Governor, who is but 81 years old
handsome and bachelor. 1t is said
there are 5000 women voters in Wyo-
ming, and that FIVE sixths of them voted
for the handsome bachelor who is now
wadlng knee deep IN roses. We ask,
what of it? Doesn't it show quite as
good sense, taste and morality to vote
for man because he is handsome, as to
vote for one Of whom you know moth
Ing, because somebody brides your vote
with drink Of whiskey and we oplLe
quite as many men vote for the latter
reason as ladies' who vote for the form
err. The fact is. the new Governor OF
Wyoming received the ladies vote, be
cause he had from boyhood, espoused
the principle of no sex in citizenship,
and pledged himself to carry out those
reforms asked by the women Of Vino
ming.

A Common Word.

The ass is generally supposed to
bear the same name in all families
of speech. In Accadian its sound is
doubtful, but in Turkish speech it is
as asek with the noun ending in
ek), while in Egyptian it is SUI. The
Aryan asinus has been compared
with the Semitic athon, for Ass, "
and all these words seem to come
from the old root as, "blow,' or
breathe, and to he thus connected
with the softer form ah, and so with
tho note of the animal, which is its
greatest popularity. In other Ian
guages the ass is called khara, he
who cries out, from u similar origin.
1t may be conjectured that the ass
was not unknown to primitive man.

Tho Jewel Pointed Tools Of Egypt.

A years study at Gizeh has con-
WINGED MI Finders Petrie that the
Egyptian stoneworkers of 4, 600 years
ago had a surprising acquaintance
with what had been considered mod
ern tools. Among the many tools
used by the pyramid builders were
both solid and tubular drills and
straight and circular saws. The
drills, like those CT today, were set
with jewels probably corundum, az
the diamond was very rarc}. AMI
even lathe tools had such cutting
edges.
So remarkable was the quality OF
the tubular drills and the skill of the
workmen that the sutting marks IN
hard granite give no indication of
wear of the tool, while cut of Il
tenth of an inch was made in the
hardest rock at each revolution, and
hole through both the hardest and
softest material was bored perfectly
smooth and uniform throughout. or
the material and method of making
the tools nothing is known. Shilling

not to the point. We are ut that point
now. This evil has been brought upon
us by the leverage on so smalla basis OF
currency as that OF gold alone has
thrown into the hands OF the wealthy,
and the great conflict OF the present
movement is to prevent it's further en-
croachments in the future. Silver may
be fiuctuating, but ever as credit money
redeemable in gold it is worth more than
paper money, because OF it's intrinsic or
commercial value. But raise the value
OF the silver dollar by al increase OF the
ratio and add TO this a still further in-
crease OF its worth by granting to it the
freedom of coinage aud de~bt-paying
power now restricted to gold by law and
you have a currency basis more stable,
much greater IN extent and quantity,
and less Id the control Of the few, than
gold. In other words taken with gold
you have the money OF the constitution.
There are few voters in South Dakota
that do not see that the small supply
