FOUR DOGS.

(Said Brooks, with a knowing leer)
was one the general lent TO me,
An said he was good for deer.
Now everything proceeded right
50 long as you kept the fool in sight;
But all at once perhaps he'd see
A red-tailed squirrel agin tree,
Or maybe a mother-bird distressed
For fear some fellow would find her
nest;
An once a rabbit family meek
A-playin' the game Of hide-an' seek,
Or often a wavin' bush or limb
Would seem for to make a dive at him'
Whatever would thus appear,
He'd start right off for it, crazy quick
The same as a two-foot lunatlc;
His mind would probably lose its grip
Concernin' the object Of the trip;
An he'd come home, some time that
day,
A-lookin' as If to try to say,
You're all of ye eqal queer!
Inc StiNdStSl uOB tNci ott
(Said Snooks, with a thoughtful air.
Was one the Governor lent to me,
And said he was good for bear.
An he was an interestin' sight,
A-gettin' the other dogs to fight;
He'd boldly draw 'em up T. the game,
An hurl anathemas on the same;
They'd follow him straight, an own the
corn
That he was a regular leader born;
But when the bear would open his jaws,
An make parenthsis of his paws,
This dog stepped back with merciful
smile
An let the other ones lead awhile.
But still he would skirmish near,
An yell, blaspheme an tear aroun'
The outer parts of the battle groun';
An pass his comrades, wounded red,
To worry the animal when twas dead;
Then, spick an span as a dog could be,
He'd say, with a wag and wink at
me,
"Tve human natur to spare!'
The foolest dog | ever see
(Said Crooks-same afternoon
Was one the Coroner traded me,
An said he was good for coon,
An he was a cur Of fair appear,
An carried the blood of line career;
But cen Almost every other night,
AS soon as the moon would bob in sight
He'd chase 1t off in elegant style
For somethn' less than hundred mile
He'd keep a-goin an never stop
Unill he was all prepared to drop;
But If, by chance, he could stay il
down,
He'd think he had run 1t out of town.
An next day, not too soon,
All covered over it'll conscious shame,
Because he'd failed to bag his game,
He'd sneak 1t home with a heightened
jaw,
As If he had married a mother-in7law;
Yet seemed to be sayin', | had 4 whim,
To them who tried for to laugh at him
you've all of you got your moon!
The homliest dog ever see
(Said Spooks, with an air of thoughD
Was one the minister gave to me
An said he was good for naught,
But somehow r other, day by day,
He struck his gait, an he made his
way;
He fined the family, one by one,
But didn't perform as the pamperet
son:
He carried a cheerful tail an face,
But wasn't deslrous to embrace;
He didn't go snilrn' along our track,
But alays was glad to see us back;
He helped at huntin' an loved the fun
But alays knowed who carried the gun
He schemed an worked am sought
TO keep the thievers from our abode.
But never would superintend the road
He managed to be our love an pride;
An when that fellow fell down ant
died
He had buryin' such as men
Gets give to 'em only now an then:
For honesty can't be bought

Of the Threatening Letters.

WASHINGTON, Dec a7.--At the secret
.eervice bureau of the treasury 1t IL
waited that the first information that
the bureau had concerning Donjon
'ca1nc last Tuesday when Chief Drum
mond received q letter from Senator
Mills asking him to look out for man
who spelled his name Doninn, who had
threatened his life. The senator gave
the address Of his correspondent NJ 78
and as Passnic street, Newark, N. j.
Chief Drummond wired his agent
there, who replied that the man wanted
had lived ut the address given, and
was n criminal. In order to come to
Washington he had forged, 1t is stated,
his fathers name to money orders sent
to his parent by his mother and sister,
who are working in the orange groves
In Florida II is stated that as soon as
Donjon obtained this money he put his
father ovt of his home and sold the
household furniture, leaving the old
man in destitute circumstances He
then went to the post Office and told the
postmaster to send all his letters to
Havre de Grace, Md 1t IL stated that
there are several charges on which the
man can be held in case his sanity Ia
proven, viz: sending threatening let
ters through the nails attempted
black-mail and forgery. It is said at
the secret service bureau that under
the laws Of the state Of New Jersey his
father can be compelled to appear
against him. There will be a hearing
of the case III the police court Wednes-
day, when Mr.. Drummond will
appear against the prisoner. Vice
President Stevenson said Tuesday
in regard to the arrest of. Don.
Jon that he was surprised at the
Importance attached to the arrest He
had received number of erratic postal
cards from Donjon, one or two having
been sent him from Washington, stat.
ing where the writer could be found,
but he had come to the conclusion that
the man was a harmless fellow and he
had refrained from notifying the au-
thoritics that he was in Washington.
Donjon had been writing to him for 8
,,number of months, but he had taken
no steps to have him arrested, and did
not regard his actions as worthy Of
serious attention.

"whcn heard that Mr.. Wade intended
To put Henry George on the witness
stand wish they had brought him

pestilential paranoiac Of all"
Judge Brentano began his charge to
the jury at 10 o'clock. During the
course of it he said that II the jury be-
lieved beyond reasonable doubt that
the prisoner was capable OF choosing TO
commit or not to commit the act he
should be found guilty even though
they believed he was not at the time
perfectly sane. Sanity is an ingredi-
ent of crime, the court continued, and
and il the jury entertained n reasonable
doubt of the prisoners sanity he should
be acquitted.
The court then instructed the jury as
to the various forms of verdicts and
the twelve men filed out to decide the
fate of the prisoner
The jury returned into court at 2:2s
p. m. with n verdict of guilty and rec
ommending that the prisoner be
hanged.
The mother of the prisoner did not
trust herself to remain in court to heai
the result of the trial, but fingered
around the corridors waiting for the
