Sheriff William II. Smith arrested Mrs

Bender from Kansas nothing was

called herself Hssong, suddenly APP

M. Henri Rochfort, who has often
settled his man on the field Of honor,
has come around to the view that the
days of duelllng are about over in
France. He believes that the whole
practice Is ridiculous, aud ne knows
that nothing Partisan has ever survived
that accusation. If You are insulted,
says another fre-eater, thrash your
man on the spot, but always carry Q
stout cane, in case you should en-
counter an adversary bigger than your
self. However, this last is only pure
pleasantly. However. the whole bust
mess points to the growing popularity
OF the manly art of self-defence.

II don't think we got what the things

any moro. Once stole compass from
my mother and took 1t there and got a
dogs collar for 1t, and when Mrs. Jacobs
took the compass she looked all over 1t and
sandpapered the name off. She used to
keep me there, and she used to tell me to
lay off, and not 60 to work nights. That's

told the other boys that she wanted to
have me lose my job SO would bring

Other boys tell stories that confirm Yer

testify to corroborative facts. Mrs. Jacobs,
the woman against whom the boys make
the charges, denies that she has ever know
ingly received any stolen goods and claims
that the police are prosecuting her.

Wolf Dog Teams In the North.

"One of the novel sights at Edmond

of Moncton, N. B., twas dog train
which arrived from the north. There
were 100 teams, four dogs to team,
each drawing a sledge holding about
500 weight of fu1s. The drivers and at
PENDANTS of these dogs were Indians and
half breeds They had travelled about
800 miles in little over week. n
"These dogs are known as 'huskies, ;
a cross between the gray wolf OF, Canada
and the ordinary dog, and their aver
age weight is 100 pounds. They are big,
fierce looking brutes, dirty white color
and as savage as their ancestors, the
wolves, which they greatly resemble.
These animals. despite the heavy loads
they haul and the long distances they
make each day-nearly 80 miles-are
fed only one whitefish each day weigh
ing not more than pound and half.
This food is given them in the evening
at the end of days journey, and they
devour the food ravenously. Meat can
not be given them, as it makes them
wild and fierce. During my stay at Ed
hometown one of these brutes escaped
from the pack and ran amuck through
the town, swapping at everybody and
everything it passed. and it created
reign of terror before it was recaptured.
These dogs, when broken, are valued at
$25 to $50 each, according to size and
strength. Chicago Times.

A Splendid Chance

Every body who is weak, delicate or
sickly wants to get well. DR.. Greene
of 81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
makes a speciality of treating patients
through letter correspondence. The
wisest thing all suffering people can do
is 10 write the Doctor. stating just how
they feel, mentioning every symptom
of which they complain, and ne will
answer the letter, explaining each
symptom and describing the case so
thoroughly that patients understand
their complaint as well as though they
had talked with the Doctor. He makes
his explanations so clear that they can
not help but understand just what ails
them. and he tells exactly what to do
TO get well. 1t saves a journey TO the
city and doctors fees, and costs moth
ing DIR. Greene is the most success
full specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases. He is the discoverer
of that wonderful medicine, DIR.
