A DOGS SPINE.
1t Was Broken and Then a Surgeon
Repaired It.

A unique operation has been successfully
performed by DR.. James Haley. veterinary
surgeon of New London A handsome little
cocker spaniel was brought 10 him a short time
ago suffering with curvature Of the spine, as
the result OF kick administered by some
brute.
The little fellows back was twisted out of
shape and he was practically helpless. His
back legs were helpless and H. could not move.
He was always a sufferer, and kent moaning
and whining. Dr. Haley thought when he first
SAW the dog that the most humane thing TO do
was 10 kill hm, but he was such handsome
little fellow that the doctor thought he would
try 10 save him.
After administering an anes hetic the spine
was Strengthened and the dog was encased in
plaster OF paris jacket, swung in straps aud
given proper medicine and food. Finally, this
week. the plaster was removed, and the dog
stood on his feet for a moment In a surprised
sort of way, then he wagged bis tail, gave a
spring into The air. and, with loud bark
started of on a dead run ID a circle, barking
ike mad. He kept it up for about 10 minutes,
and seemed anxious TO show every one he was
all right.
He is just as good DOG now as he ever was.

FCrgetfuI Early.

A story Is being told on well-knoWn Louis
vile couple who went 10 Washington on their
budal tour few days ago, which is causing no
end Of laughter. The groom registered at a
swell Washington hotel like .his: "John Smith
and wife, He remained one day, and wncB he
stepped up and asked the amount, of his bill,
the clerk said So.
Eight dollars!" Smith exclaimed. "wby your
rates are rather high, aren't they?''
NO guess not; that's 81 day."
"But nave been here only one day"
II know it, but il is $50 the clerk replied.
Glow do you figure IhaJ?" the newly welded
man asked. as he leaned over the counter with
a frown OF perpexty on his otherwise blissful
features.
well there's yourself. one day, 81. and
there's your wife, one day, 81; four and four
make eight"
Then The fellow slammed his fist down on the
register, while a crimson flush of blood suf-
fused his cheeks We'll, I'll swear" lie cried.
IF didn't forget all about her Pll eat my
hat. Here, take this SO, keep the change
and say nothing abou 1t please"
But The clerk didn't keep the change, so he
didn't think there was any reason why he
shouldn't tell The story, which he did, and thus
it's told by Louisville man. who returned TO.

STUBBORN CRANKS.
Men Who Make Vows and Keep
Them Obstinately.

~ met a man in Brooklyn the other day."
said DR.. E. L. Fender, "who had never seen
the Brooklyn bridge, and he Is not blind or lame
or an inmate OF any correctional institution
He Is well and strong, and in business matters
and In his home duties he Is model man and
husband. He conducts drug shop near Myr-
tie avenue, and IL better pharmacist would be
hard to find. Not only has be never seen the
bridge, but he has never ridden on an elevated
road"
He's crank" interposed one of the listen
ers, I've often met such men. Why, ten years
ago, /"
mo, he isn't crank in the ordinary accepta-
ton of that teIm.' replied the doctor. "He Is
simply the victim Of foolish vow. When he
was about 10 years old his siepfather sent him
adrlft in the world because he wouldn't break
his word about matter that in Itself was OF no
importance whatever. The lad Sc; out for him
self and within ten years he had earned start
and made fortune in successful investments
tie attributed IL all TO his adherence TO his
word. On his wedding day he made vow that
he never would break a promise, however
rashly IL was made.
"Soon after the bridge was projected the
druggist, who was opposed to the Improvement
for selfish reasons, said ttat he never would
use The bridge as long as he lived.
81 suppose you wouldn't even walk down
and look at IT, suggested the man he was talk
ing with.
roads that thu are talking about are concerned
| never shall ride on Que of them either
He has kept his word faithfully, but be has
regretted pledging II a thousand times since.
He always crosses 10 New York by the Twenty
third street ferry, and lie usrs the surface car
when he doesn't ride In his own carriage"
''You may call him what you please" said
the counselor, but he is crank all the same.
Why, knew man ten years ago down in
TompkinSvIlle, s. l., who had not visited New
York for twenty years One day MS pocket
was picked in Battery park. and he swore he'd
never come to this dishonest town again. He
didn't really mean to keep his word, but after
he had stuck 10 1t for year he grew proud OF
his determination. During the last years OF
his life the fact that he had lived within sigh
of New York for so many years without once
visiting /: gave him all the fame that he pos
sessed. Strangers were brought into his store
aud introduced 10 him solely on that account,
and don't believe he would have crossed tn
bay for $780, 00."-New York Mail and Ex-

TIMBER IN TENNESSEE.
One Region Where Forests Have
Not Been Stripped.

Not Been Stripped.
Tennessee is one of the few States that nave
not been stripped of heir timber without con
Germ for future needs and climatic conditions.
About 90 per cent Of the land in Tennessee Is
still wooded. There are 20, $4,000 acres in
the State altogether. of which nearly 10 600 900
are timbered. Only three States in the South
have greater timber acreage-North Carolina
and South Carolina and Georgia. AS the alti-
tude Of the forests of Tennessee varies from
200 TO 5000 feet above the seas level, woods
OF every kind known 10 the United States are
TO be found there. Iu value the oak has
the first pl ace, but the ash. of Which there are
two varieties, the white and the blue, Is hardly
less important Even In Tennessee the forests
OF ash are now found only in districts remote
from the railroads. but so rapid is the growth
OF this tree that it is being planted as an invest
menl. A farmer who set OuI Il grove OF ash
trees covering ten acres twelve years ago now
has II. 600 trees, s inches in diameter on an
average, ana 80 feet high. There were no ex-
penSes of eultivatiug, and ths ten acres of r.,
900 trees are worth at tile present time between
$1,000 and $4,000. b sides oak and ash, Ten
nessee possesses three varieties OF elm,
TWO OF gum, Two OF hr, three OF hicN,
Org, two OF locust three of maple, two OF
pine, three OF poplar and two OF walnut.
Among Othes trees found in abundance are the
beech, birch, buckeye. red cedar, wild cherry,
cottonwood, cypress dogwoOd, bass wood, null
berry, tupelo sycamore and the sassafra-. Of
oaks there are no less than Twelve varieties.
Gear. unfortunately, is going very fast. Bucket
factories in the State use 100000 feet OF this
timber every year. Telegraph companies use
1t almost exclusively for poles. Nearly 900.
600 feet goes each year 10 81. LOUIS, where il is
made into fence rails. The rapid v with
which the cedar is being consumed has opened
the eyes of some of the friends of the forests in
Tennessee, and warning has been sounded.

Yesterday afternoon the Senate heard
with profound sorrow the announcement Of
the death OF Hon. William Mutchler, late
q Representative OF the state Of Pennsyl-
vania," and, In accordance with its usual
custom. set aside some Of its valuable time
for eulogies upon the character Of the de-
ceased. First among the eulogists was
Senator Quay. He created the sensation of
the session by opening with: MIR. Presi-
dent, Pennsylvania is sorely chastened.
Her furnace fires are going out. The
wheels Of her mills are motionless. Her
farm lands are shrinking in value and
passing into the hands Of the officers Of
the law. Her labor is unemployed and in
condition OF tremulous and dangerous
unrest. Not many days ago some of her
citizens were compelled to defend with
armed hands their lives and property from
q mob OF hungry men at the cost Of the
shedding Of blood" And then the Senator
proceeded to discuss the late Mr.. Mutchler
But where Is the connection between sorrow
for Mr.. Mutchler-who was q most es-
Unable man-and Pennsylvania industrial
