inc out-kicked her half way across the
dining-room and left her doubled up and
croucbing in terror under the table. Then
be rushed for his hat, and in his blind
rage stepped heavily on the dogs hind
legs. Then the dog howled, and as he
scrambled to his feet the colonel landed
boot toe in his ribs and swore like soldier
in FLANDERS. The little French woman in
stantly filed the kitchen door behind him
and added her walls to those of the dog.
AS the enraged colonel tumbled rather
than walked down the steps, careless,
scornful of the big bag OF dust behind
him. he heard her say something in her
broken way about a dog in the manager.
"Dog take your doggoned old dog! Put
him in a mancer and nurse him on mush
and milk for all I care!" He shouted this
back over his shoulder. adding something
about going back to Washington to starve
and die in desolation and despair.
He painted up the hill and sat down
heavily by o little depression in the quilts
there beneath the great sugar pines. The
obtuse colonel was miserable, miserable.
."Dog in the manger! Why don't she
mt him in her lap-put him in her bed
room, by lingo! Dog in manger-dog
in"
The little glittering new baby moon
came out and let the gentle twilight fall
and hang like perfumed gossamer from
her little silver horns. A star was there,
right in the hollow of the moon, and it
twinkled merrily in his face.
"Dog in the manger-dog-"
The obtuse old man got right up-shot
right up into the air-and then, brushing
the lower end of his back right hastily
with both hands, he started for the French
restaurant as fast as his short fat legs
could shuttle.
There is a lot in the moon. Do you know
that? Here this man could see nothing at
all by the light of day, although the sun
had been shining it's bright6 st and biggest
for wears and years, but now, with this
little bit of piece of moon, he saw in a
single minute the whole story.
II have trifed with the dear gentle
girls affections" he said as he drew a
sleeve across his eyes and assembled the
steps.
She had her arms around the poor old
dogs neck and was sobbing and sobbing as
if her heart would break.
He gently disengaged her arms and as he
raised her up he meant to kiss her on her
ewes one after another-kiss away her tears
as it were-but somehow her mouth turned
up between and he kissed her there; kissed
her on the mouth for the first but by no
means for the last time. And the prince
married her and they lived happily ever
afterward.

RESIDENTS PROTEST.
Defective Work Alleged in the Grading
of Chestnut Street.

Residents in the vicinity of Lombard and
Larkin streets are complaining bitterly of
the grading on Chestnut street, between
Larkin and Polk.
Property-owners who are paying for the
work declare that it is of no use and ought
not to be accepted by the Superintendent
of Streets. The Chestnut-street grade is
very steep. 1t is almost precipice, and
great deal of filling in will be necessary to
bring it up to the official line.
The manholes stand four and five feet,
respectively, above the ground, and the
work of putting ii sewer foundation has
Just been commenced. This foundation
consists of loose earth, which, it is alleged
by residents, will be washed away during
the first heavy rainfall.
People who live along Larkin street, on
the bluff, agitated the opening of this
street for many months, in order to get
sewer outlet. Now they join with the
people of the street below in protesting
against the work

MISSION OF THE |ROQUOIS
Pepper Explains to the Dis
triCt Democratic
Clubs.
Lannigan and the Occidentals
Watching the Pedagogic
Braves.

Three factions of the local Democrats are
keenly watching one another. The activity
displayed by Max Pepper IN forming
branches of the Iroquois Club excites the
surprise of the Occidental Democrats on
the hill and the Lannigan followers in the
valley.
Pepper is going about his work in
methodical manner. When he deems it
expedient to organize a district club he
scans the roll of the Iroquois central Or
ganization, taking down the names of
members residing in the district where the
formation of new club is desired. Invi-
tations are sent for these members to meet
Mr.. Pepper at the Baldwin Hotel, and
there an interchange of opinion follows.
The plan generally pursued is for the as
sembled members of the 1roquois to sug-
gest the names of the best Democratic citi-
zens in the district under consideration,
and invite them to meet at certain hall
in the district and organize.
Frequently good Democrats-or, at least,
Democrats who think they are just as good
as any body else-do not receive invitations
to assist in the club organization. They
are not constrained, however, to remain
away because request to be present has
not been received. On the contrary, they
attend to see what is going on, and partici-
pate so actively in the proceedings that
Pepper is often impelled to explain why
they were not wanted. He gives the rea-
sons in the smoothest style of the poll
tician, compliments the exceptional intel
ligence and refinement of the Democrats
in that district as compared with other
districts and ends by getting everybody to
sign the roll.
1t is fashion for the artful Max to tell
his auditors that the mission of the Iroquois
Club is to educate. He cites as example
the intelligent handling of the Australian
ballot. which was taught by the Iroquois
so plainly that the Democrats, although
not popularly accredited with as much
party intelligence as the Republicans, dis
played vastly more knowledge of voting

writing sketches fer the Kansas

here last evening by Thomas Haun,

of an article which appeared in the

Wichita is playing a very smooth
game on the saloon question. Gov.
Morrill, ordered all the joints closed.
The police commissioners transmitted
this order to the police. The front
door of every joint went shut with a
slam bang; the conclusion of air was
so sudden and so great that the back
door of each joint flew open instanter
and has been open ever since. Then
the newspapers OF the city commenced
to howl at the governor and to con-
denim the closing of the saloons. The
idea that any one would get from
reading the Wichita newspapers is
that every saloon in the city had been
closed up and that the Eagle and Bea-
con were mad about it. The truth
seems to be that not saloon stopped
business Tor an hour in consequence Of
the governors order; they simply shut
up one end and opened up the other;
they were running in full blast last
night. 1t is taken for granted that so
long as the newspapers roar and kick
about them being closed up so tight,
the powers that want to close them
will never suspect that they are doing
the usual amount of business with a
we'll developed smile up each sleeve.
