The Boys Took Her Driving But Gem
versatIon Generally Flagsed.
In the earlier days of a certain New
England college one Of the secret
societies had its quarters beneath the
roof of q hOsp5table old citizen of the
town. His kindness was SO great
toward the boys that they felt obliged
to repay him as far as lay in their
power, though the performance Of
this duty was not always easy One
Of the most difficult tasks connected
with these generous efforts tO propi-
tiate their host was the entertain
ment Of his unmarried daughter. who,
being q lady ''weIl on" in years, had
NO particular attractions for the
young men. lit was the custom to
allOt the privilege of taking her out
to drive to the different members of
the society in turn. and the boys thus
honored sometimes found it difficult
to keep mp the interest Of the CONVEX
sation on the excursions.
On one occasion it lis related, it fell
to the lot Of a bashful young fresh
man to take Miss Sarah chat was not

The pair drove off in silence, which
was strictly maintained until they
reached a spot by the roadside where
a house had stood. tHere IS where the

DUDE. THE DUDINE AND DOG

DUDE TIE DUDINE AND DOG
an 1nefdent Showing a High Degree OF
Canine Intelligence.
In front Of Grace church. New
York. latel 8. a writer was fortunate
enough to witness delightful ex-
ample of canine intelligence a young
man in a Chesterfield coat. 4 beu-
crown silk hat and white spats over
patent leather shoes. was ana milling in
noeently along and airing a setter dog
He met pleasing young woman in a
blue bonnet. and they stopped to chat.
The dog. left to himself. investigated
the vicinity to the end of his chains
and then proceeded to describe a
number Of concentric circles. AT the
end Of the fifth circle he had chained
up the two young people lin close
embrace. The situation was embar-
RAISING for both. and equally
50 for the dog. The man
struggled valiantlv and the
dog pulled, hard, with the result that
seueral hundred people coli ected to
witness the unique spectacle o. two
well-dressed young people vigorously
embracing each other ia broad day

dignation- The more the young man
struggled the closer he was drawn to
the young woman. Suddenly the dog
stopped pulling. and evidently made
up his mind that something had to- be
done. Then with a reproachful look
at his master. he deliberately turned
and proceeded to trob back over the
course he had taken, unwinding the
chain. When at last the young PEG
pie were free, the crowd eheered.
The man petted the dog and the young
woman escaped into restaurant.
During all this time it never occurred
to the young man to follow around
the dog and unwind himself

Harry Armitage. an old Mexican
traveller, was chatting with a reporter
Naturally the conversation turned
upon the unsettled condition of that
country and the guerrilla warfare
That is being waged against the adj

During this conversation he drew from
his pocket an object that to all out
ward appearance was nothing more
than an ordinary match box.
As he passed 1T over to the reporter
for Inspection he said. s'Do you know

EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE.
Five Tons Go Of and Shake Up n POr-
tiOn Of Wisconsin.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Oct. 2S.-Ths
city and vicinity was shaken by an explo-
sion which occurred on the summit of
hill a mile from town, where was stored,
in a small building. five tons of dynamite.
The stuff had been sent here consign-
ment from Chicago house to a local hard
ware merchant. 1t is presumed that a
rife bullet fired by hunter into the build
ing lodged in some powder that was in stor-
age, and that the hunter was killed. The
ground was torn up to a great depth, while
trees and fences for many rods were torn
and twisted and quite a number of trees
were pulled out by the roots. The glass
in every farmhouse for miles around was
shattered. In this city the effect was dis
astrous, the plate-glass fronts and windows
in numbers of buildings being broken. The
shock came while people were on their
way to church and threw women and chill
dren down and caused several women to
faint. The village of Bloomer, twelve
miles distant from the scene, appears to
have felt the force more severely than this
place. The scene of the explosion was Wis.,
tied by thousands to-day.
A handkerchief and piece of a coat sleeve
were found about fifty rods away and they
are thought to be part of the clothing of
Paul Brohar. Austrian, who was seen
going in the direction of the magazine
short time before the explosion.
