NO DOG IN HER HOUSE.
q Boarding House Keeper Tells Why She
 Has Made This Rule.


 Persons with dogs and other pets meet with a cold and clammy reception in New York boarding houses. They may occasionally steal into fashionable Hats, where the landlord or agent has no direct means of circumventing them, but when it comes to'the boarding house things are little more definite.
 A nice looking married couple went into a Twenty-third street boarding house the other day and were made com fortable. After the first dinner the lady was observed scraping together some dainties from the board to take to her room. The landlady. who is a woman of great decision of character, heard of it, and her knock was shortly afterward heard at the door of the new boarders. The latter were immediately notified that either they or the dog must vacate at once.
 "If cannot keep my darling Keno phon, we'll move," protested the owner of the dog, who practiced the principle of "Love me, love my dog"
 ''Then you'll have to move, :" said the landlady firmly. ''I'm not keeping a dog kennel "
 "How in the world they ever got that dog in here without my seeing it, " said she, after the obnoxious XenophOn had been disposed of, ''is more than I can understand I've had all want of dogs. A gentleman used to keep a small but ferocious bulldog in his room where l once lived. He was the ugliest brute I ever laid my eyes on-the dog, not the man. That dog wouldn't let anybody but his owner tamper with him. The man used to lug him around with him everywhere he went One night, when the man came in, he was feeling so ob- livious to earthly things that he left his dog locked in the vestibule. The next boarder who came in got no farther than the vestibule and landed down the steps with square yard of trousers missing. He was soon joined by another boarder, who wanted to come to bed. They rang the bell until several of us came down to see what was the matter. On opening the door the dog sprang for us as if he hadn't been fed for week and wanted anything that came handy, but we slammed the door to again just in time. As we could not awaken the owner we had to leave the dog there till morning, and those who were outside had to go to a hotel. In the morning everybody had to go and come by the servants entrance until the ownef of the animal came down and got us out of the fix"
 "What did he say?"
 ''Sayl Why, he abused us all as set of brutes for keeping his dog locked up there and gathered it up under his arm and took it up stairs as if had been a piece of Dresden chinal And the board CTS who had been looked out left the house for good the next day. We got rid of the dog. but not until it had half de- populated the establishment. "-Chi- caao Tribune.

wished to see Mir Turner. The door was immediately shut ill their faces, but after time the person came back to say that they might enter When they got into the hall, she showed them into room and forthwith shut the door upon them. They then discovered, with some disInay, that this apartment was in total darkness, with the blinds down and the shutters up After prolonged interval they wore told they might go up stairs. Upon arriving at the topmost story they perceived Turner standing before several easels and taking his colors from a circular table which he swung around to get at the paints he required, He was painting several pie lures at once, passing on from one to the other and applying to each in it's turn the particular color he was using till it was exhausted
 After showing them all that there war to be seen Turner vouchsafed the ex- plantation of the treatment which they experienced upon entering the house. He said that the bright light outside would have spoiled their eyes for prop erly appreciating the pictures, and that to see them to advantage all interval of darkness was necessary. At this stage of the interview Broderip had to leave for some engagement, and then an event took place which Owen declares that none of his artist friends would ever be- lieve. Turner offered him glass of wine. It was while they were coming down stairs that he first discovered the symptoms of all inward struggle going on in Turner's bosom. When they were passing little cupboard on the landing. this struggle reached climax Finally Turner said, Will you-will you have glass of wine?' This offer having been accepted, after good deal of groping in the cupboard decanter was pro- duced, of which the original stopper had been replaced by the cork. with the remains of some sherry at the bottom. This Owen duly consumed and shortly afterward took his leave, with many ex- pressions of the pleasure this visit had afforded him and disturbing convic- tion that the sherry might turk indefi- nitely in his system

TEXAS LAW FOR TEXANS.
How Judge CuIberson Once Won 9 Gas
 That Seemed Hopeless.

How Judge Culberson Once Won Case That Seemed Hopeless. Congressman Dave Culberson, as he is familiarly known in Texas from the Rio | Grande to the Red river, is one of the most entertaining members of the house. He is always ready with a witty reply to any law or political question pro- pounded to him by his associates and is the subject of more stories than any member of congress except Thomas B. Reed.
 In 1860, just after Lincoln had been elected president, said an old friend of Judge Culberson the other day. "there was a neighborhood quarrel betweeen two citizens in Upshur county, Tex The southern question was at fever heat, and the feeling was very strong on both sides. Each side of the case, of course, was anxious to get the verdict. The de fendant went to Jefferson and engaged Cuberson, who was then rising to dis tinotion as bright lawyer. Dave's Cli- ent didn't have any case, the evidence being all against him; but, true to his trust, as he always is, Culberson deter mined to make the best fight he could for him. When the trial came off, it turned out that the other fellow had employed smart young saddlebag law yer from Maryland, just located in Texas.
 "Culberson had the opening speech and made good defense for his client under the circumstances. When the Marylander replied ill behalf of his eli ent, he produced a vast array of author ities, from which he read in support of his case. When the young man closed, Culberson picked up one of the books from which tho opposing counsel had been reading and said: If your hon. or please, this young brother of the pro- fession has been reading for your in- struction Massachusetts law. This book is printed in Boston. It is 'Greenleaf on Evidence We don't want Massa- chusetts law to govern us in Texas. have been giving you genuine Texas law, made by our own people.
 Whats that?' asked the judge sharply, been imposing on the court with Yankee law?'
 "'Yes, sir, your honor, said Culber- son; The has been reading from this book. which was printed ill Boston, Mass
 Pass it over this way, said the sur prised court, looking at the fly leaf. Then he said:
 MT. Culberson, the court finds that you are correct. It is a Boston print, and we don't want any of it here. No abolition law for Upshur county, and the court will be d-d if we will have it.
 ''To the supreme disgust of the young lawyer the court continued as follows: Sir, upon the evidence of the case 1 dismiss the suit against Dave Culber- sons faiend and fine the plaintiff $l and costs and his lawyer $5 for con- tempt of court. Now, young man, let that serve as Q warning to you how you try to practice abolition law in this statel'

UtIea's Unique ro1lrate.

Utica enjoys the doubtful distinction of being probably the only city in the United States which has 0 tollgate within it's boundaries or anywhere near 1t, for that matter The old days of toll roads and tollgates have passed away, and it is we'll that they have. The com- pany which maintains the Deertield gate has legal status that cannot be done away with without the consent of those who own the property. The last legisla- ture passed an enabling act which makes 1t possible for the parties interested to do away with the tollgate, and it is something to which the attention of the authorities may properly be directed. d.- Utica Press.

HILL FoR A WESTERN MAN

The newspapers are now discussing
Senator Hills declaration in favor of a
western man for president There is
nothing strange about this declaration.
Mr. Hill and the other eastern leaders
recognize that an eastern candidate
will stand no chance for election in
1896, even IL nominated, and that such
a candidate stands less chance, If pos
sible. II nominated What is desired
by eastern flnanciers is the nomination
of western nan with eastern ideas.
w. r. Morrison is the choice with east
ern Democrats and Senator Allison
with eastern Republicans. Both can
be relied upon TO carry out the New
York idea Of finance and both live far
enough west to appeal TO local pride.
But the west will not be satisfied this
year with the mere qualification OF
local pride while their eastern breth-
ern secure Wall street favorite in the
White house. Better would be an
eastern man who would defend the
rights Of the common people aud pro.
tect the nte rests OF the masses than
western ma1 who would carry out
the Roth chilc-Sherman policy. The
west cannot be battered into submis
sion To eastern dictation.
