The Caicora's Dog.

John jacobson is reputable citizen
and householder OF Milwaukee. One day
last fall, while be was walking down to
his business, miserable yellow dog took
it into bis head to follow him. Mr.. Ja-
cobsou is not fond of dogs and especially
abhors dogs Of the tramp variety. But
he has kind heart and while the dog
attached itself to him he could not let the
poor animal siarve. 50 he fed it, not
bountifully but enough to keep it alive
and in the meantime devoted all his ener-
gies to trying to lose that dog. First he
hired two small boys to take the dog away.
OF course it was back again within two
hours. Then he began to ride about town
on the street ears instead of walking
But the dog was always on hand as soon
as the car stopped. He took railroad
trip out Of town and remained away three
days, for no other purpose than to force
the dog TO find another master. 1t was
no use. The cur was at the depot to meet
him when he got back.
The attachment Of the dog began to
worry him. lie ceased to give any
thought to his work and in consequence
was threatened with discharge by bis en-
ployer. He spent nights without sleep
thinking what he was to do with that dog.
But it is useless TO continue the details.
There are few men who have not been
through the same experience at least once
in their lives
One day, however, bright original
idea came to Mr.. jacobson. He heard
that lake vessel, in spite of the lateness
of the season was going 10 sail from the
port. He hunted up member Of the
crew aud gave him dollar TO take the
dog away with him.
Throw the brute overheard when you
get out into the lake, leave him behind
the port you make, shoot him, do any
thing YOU like with him, only never let
him get back to Milwaukee" was Mr..
Jacobson's injunction.
The sailor took the dollar and promis
ed.
That boat was the i'll iated Chicora.-
The story of its loss with all hands is IA
miliar 10 newspaper readers. Bat only
yesterday was it announced that tramp
dog came ashore. John jacobson, Of
Milwaukee, has heard The news and is
waiting in despair the inevitable return
of the yellow dog. He will make no fur
ther effort to lose it. lie has learned the
old lesson of life-,hat men may die and
ships may sink, but no power can sepa-
rate for long the yellow dog from the man
to whom it has attached itself.
P.S. This story may not be strictly
true. But its essential detail is a fact
A tramp dog was the sole survivor of the
Chicora.

He Emphasized The Lie.

The boarders were sitting around the
parlor. The landlady had just served
one of her famous 6 o'clock dinners (35
cents apiece, or a quarter if YOU buy ten
tickets at time) and the partakers need
ed rest as much as anything unless it was
pepsin.
The sporty young man, who had been
there but a week, was telling a story
about friend of his who was in the the.
atrical business, advance agent or some
thing of the kind. at was this way,
said the sporty. boarder. Jack always
was quite hand to play the horses, and
that day he was particularly lucky. He
went out to the track with 500 BILL
He saw the card was an easy one, and re-
solved to plug it. He picked 6 to l
shot in the first race, and it won. Then
he went on, playing every race, and when
the sport was over he had won just S15,-
OOO."
The soubrette opened her eyes and
whistled. The ministerial looking man
who sat over in the corner said, "Why
don't you 90 on and finish the slory?'
"Finish the story asked the sporty
boarder in surprise. "Why, what more
is there to tell What more is there to
t?'
"Pshaw," said the ministerial looking
man, "you know as well as do that your
friend hurried back to town and won 49,,
900 more before dark playing croquet.

Fibbing Children.

A Chicago kindergarten teacher says
that mothers come to her SO often asking
how they shall break their children from
telling untru,hs that she has almost come
to think that lying is national evil. She
divides children's falsehoods into four
classes. The first is the lie Of excessive
Imagination, and the treatment Is "incul-
cation of exactness Of observation, either
by precept or in play" The second Is the
lie of egolism, the remedy for which Is
objective work that will take thought
from self. A third class Of lies is evolved
through fear of punishment, and sympa-
thy Is the cure. In all such cases" the
kindergariuerin adds, "the child must be
shown the justice of the punishment. =
The fourth division includes children ad-
dicied to the jealous lie, as saying that
they have things which they have not, be-
cause the boy around the corner has them.
The cure in this instance is love and ap
probation. that the child may understand
that he does not need these coveted pos
sessions to gain or keep his friends. All
mothers will be interested ia this matter
as few are not called upon to meet these
childish prevaricators.

Te,egrapners and renrcar Writing.

If the vertical handwriting which is be-
ing taught in our public schools prevails,
aud becomes the ordinary handwriting,
the people who enjoy its advantages will
have in large measure the elegraphers to
thank for it. They have been the pio-
neers of the vertical writing. For the
last twenty years almost every telegraph
operator in the country has written a
round, vertical hand, palmer than any
other sort Of handwriting known. with
round. fat loops for the letters which drop
below the line, and simple capitals THIS
telegraphers' handwriting has much in
common with the English "civil service
handwriting" which may have preceded
it; but the civil service hand is less often
vertical aud has certain points Of differ.
ence. Mems handwriting tends in a gen
eral way 20 conform to the fashion Of Ro-
man print prevalent at any time and as
the most ordinary print letter nowaday;
is of round or Scotch face, it Is not
strange on the whole that the tendency il
the handwriting is toward round letter
Women's chirography is more capricioui
in its fashions though it has inclined
pretty steadily now for several years to
ward angular criticism.

 Frank Barrows, the South Main street liveryman. met with a peculiar accident this morning. When he went to leave the house he walked across the floor to speak with his wife and was attacked by Mrs Bar rows pet pug, which caught him by the toes inflicting several bad scratches. The pug is passionately fond of Mrs Barrows' and never hesitates to make a vicious at tack on anyone who happens to go near her. MT Barrows' shoe had a thin sole and upper and when it was removed there was a deep gssh on the ball of his foot and a piece of the skin about an inch in length was torn of one of his toes. The pugnacious little animal held his hold with great tenacity and MT Barrows kicked back ward and forward in the hope of shaking him of and Tn this way the teeth of the animal were dragged through his flesh. DE Benedict cauterized the wound.
