cause of the inconvenience of travelling
to get checks cashed. He had taken
some $4,000 with him on this trip and
for protection carried revolver. Some
two miles from the nearest ranch he
had occasion to make stop in the
sage brush. His revolver he had
dropped into one Of his ''chaps," as the
hip boots worn by the riders in that
country are called. AS he remounted
his horse the revolver was discharged.
He had dropped the pistol in the chap"
with the muZzle up, and the hammer
hit against the horn of the saddle. A
ball was sent up through his groin,
and, passing upward through his body,
came out behind one of his shoulders.
He fell to the ground, but rallied, and,
mortally wounded though he was, he
once more climbed into the saddle, but
could not sit on his horse. Painting
from loss of blood he tumbled out of
the saddle second time.
When he revived his shepherd dog
was over him, acting as though fully
aware OF the serious nature of what
had happened. The dog was one Of
two which Gillen had trained to herd
horses and cattle. Realizing that he
was probably mortally wounded, and
that prompt assistance must be obtained
if the slight chance he had of surviving
was to be made the most of, Gillen told
the dog to ''go to McVcy's ranch"
This was the nearest ranch. and one
from which he might expect help to be
sent as soon as they could know of the
accident. There were other ranches
in the surrounding country, but assist
ance might be obtained more quickly
from this one.
The dog whined and cried, and
showed desire to stay by his masters
side, but Gillen scolded and told the
dog to run the horse to McVey's.
Finally the dog started the horse ahead
of him, and made bee line for the
ranch mentioned. On the way tho
horse fell in with n band of fifty other
horses, but the dog cut him out and ran
him at full speed to the ranch.
On arriving in sight of the ranch the
dog began barking to attract attention,
and when the dog and riderless horse
arrived at the place the people knew
something had happened to Gillen.
AS soon as the dog saw that the blood
on the saddle was noticed he turned
and excitedly manifested desire that
the ranchmen should Hasten back to
where Gillen lay. Horses were quickly
mounted, and the horsemen had diff
Guilty in keeping the dog in sight, so
great was the animals haste to return
to the side of his wounded master.
Gillen was still alive when his friends
reached him.

some time. The secret is this: The face
of the cube which first comes in con-
tact with the glass loses it's adhesive
force little by little and finally be-
comes detached. The cube is, how
ever, retained in position by the at
traction along one edge, and instantly
the face of the cube nearest that edge
is strongly attracted toward the cleo
trified glass and flies upward, to give
way, after few seconds, to third
face, and so on until all six have had a
turn, when the cube falls back to the
bottom of the box. The experiment
can be renewed as many times as de-
sired, by rubbing the cover of the box
as before. The mysterious dice are
productive of much amusement as long
as the secret of their rapid changes re-
mains undiscovered by the spectators.

RED CROSS DOGS.
Trained Especially for Hospital Service In
the German Army.

Trained Especially for Hospital Service In
the German Army.
At Lechenich, near Cologne, in Rhine
land, novel experiment in dog-train-
ing for army service is being made by
Jean Bungartz, the animal painter and
animal lover. His success in training
dogs for active army duty, reconnoiter-
ing, sentry and messenger service has
been certified to by the German gov
eminent; and now Mr.. Bungartz is ed
ucating a number of dogs for hospital
and ambulance service, and these are
the so-called Hospital, or Red Cross
dogs"
For this duty the Scotch collie is
chosen, since Mr.. Bungartz believes
that this breed has no equal for intelli-
gence, docility and fidelity. The Red
Cross dog is fitted with saddle-bags, In
which he carries, besides his biscuit,
everything necessary for the first
bandaging, and a well-protected flask
Of brandy. A large red cross appears
on the saddle-bags, and lantern is
strapped on the collie's back at night.
Anyone familiar with the annals OF
war knows how the death roll isswelled
by those of the wounded who have
crept away into ditch or hedge to escape
the bursting shell and rush of hoofs and
wheels, and, not found by the hospital
service, are reported as missing" or
are discovered too late for relief.
Here the noble duty of the Red Cross
dog comes in. There is no thicket too
dense, no ditch too deep but that these
keen-scented, quick-sighted collics cdn
find the wounded man; and once found
they give tongue, and do not leave him
till help comes.
The dogs are also taught to crouch
beside the wounded man, that he may
open the bag and find the rowling
flask. The little lantern, securely
fastened to the back strap, enables the
seekers to follow the dog on dark
nights, and 1t moreover conveys hope
to the wounded when the friendly
light appears:
Mr.. Bungartz tells of remarkable
work done by his dogs on nights 90
dark that the seeking party passed
within FIVE feet of the PROSTATE man on
open ground, and but for the collie
would not have found him.

REMARKABLE SoNGSTER.
The Organ Bird of the Upper Amazons, In
South America.

The Organ Bird of the Upper Amazons, In
South America.
The banks of the streams in the vi.
cinity of st. Paulo, in the Upper Anna
IONS, in South America, are dotted with
palm-thatched dwellings of the Indi-
ans, all half buried in the leafy wilder
ness, the scattered families having
chosen the coolest and shadiest hooks
for their abodes.
The traveller frequently hears in the
neighborhood of these huts the organ
bird, the most remarkable songster by
far of the Amazonian forests.
When its singular notes strike the
ear for the first time, the impression
cannot be resisted that they are pro-
duccd by human voice. Some pu-
steal boy must be gathering fruit in the
thickets, and is singing few notes to
cheer himself.
The tones become more futy and
plaintive. Sometimes they resemble
the notes of the flageolet, and the trav-
eler is almost persuaded, in spite of the
absurdity of the thing, that some per-
son Is playing that instrument in the
primeval forests.
However closely he may scan the
neigbboring thicket, no bird appears,
although the voice seems to be that OF
some one near at hand.
The bird is rarely If over heard in the
Lower Amazons. 1t v the only song
bird which makes an Impression on the
natives, who sometimes rest their pad

noes along the shady by-streams as IL

Jack started back with his mouth

THE MYSTERIOUS DICE.

An Interesting Variation of Decidedly
Entertaining Experiment.
A simple experiment with which
most people are familiar is that known
as the "dance of the puppets" A
piece of glass is placed over two books,
resting on their edges, while under
meath, on the table, are laid number
Of light objects, such as bits of cork,
paper or the pith of the elder tree. The
upper surface of the glass is rubbed
with piece of flannel or other wooden
material previously warmed before the
fire. The glass thus becomes charged
with electricity, and all the objects
beneath it are seen to fly upward, then
fall back again, keeping up lively
sort of dance.
An interesting variation of this ex-
pertinent is illustrated here. Procure
q box with glass cover, such as dolls
furniture is sold in, and from a piece of
the pith of an elder tree cut three little
cubes of equal size, like dice, marking
them with the required number of
dots by means of pen and ink Place
these in the box and rub the cover
with piece of warmed flannel or
cloth. The three dice will fly upward
and stick to the under surface of the
cover Now ask anyone present to add
up the points marked on the dice.
After few seconds, without having
touched the box, count them up your
self and you can show your friend
that he was mistaken in his
count; instead, for instance, of
seeing 9, 4, ., giving a total
of IL, as he imagined, the
points are 1, 8, 4, which only give s..
And yet the dice are fast to the under
surface of the cover, and no one has
touched them. In few seconds more,
if you look again, you will find new
combination, and so on, the mysterious
changes continuing to take place for

kissing HygienIoalIy Unhealthy.

In Hungary it used to be customary
for children to kiss the hands of their
teachers on arriving and on leaving
school. This practice has, however,
recently been forbidden by the board
of education, because It Is held by the
sanitary council that kissing is dam
gerous proceeding from a hygienic
point Of view, and should only be re-
sorted to when absolutely necessary.
That it is unnecessary In this particu-
lar case will be granted by most peo-
pie, but still 1t is to be feared that
whatever terrors in the way of infec-
tion and disease may Turk In a liss,

Sent for Aid by Dying Man, He Per-
|, forms His Duty.
The intelligence of the shepherd dog
and his faithfulness to man were dem
onstrated in remarkable way in con-
nection with the death of Charles Gil
len, a native of Providence, Il. L.. who
was killed in Montana by the discharge
of his revolver, says writer in the
Providence Journal.
On May he went out on buying
trip and was in the Big Hole county,
10 miles from Butte City. He had
bought a lot of sheep and cattle, and
was going further into the country
to visit other ranches. He usual
ly paid for his purchases with
checks, but when he went to ranches
so far from the business centers he
could make better terms for cash. be-

siasts. He was able to crumble in the
dust the highest and strongest argu-
ments brought forward by cynical
bachelors that marriage is failure.
But yet, with all his devotion, he was
able to appreciate a pretty woman.
He kept this appreciation to himself.
In years time he had learned many
truths of whose existence he had not
even dreamed before. One of these
was that it was far better for mar
ried man to keep some things to him
self and to observe a religious silence
on others. One subject upon which he
kept religious silence was that OF
praising pretty women in his wife's
hearing When he had married her he
thought his wife the most beautiful
creature which the widest dreams OF
a lovers fancy could conjure up, but
after years constant association with
her he had been forced 70 acknowledge
to himself that there were Others as
pretty and at last had decided that
some were even prettier, but that none
was better or sweeter he never
doubted.
His wife loved him with that fond
private affectionate contempt which is
common to all married women, and
which is the result of their tactful
management Of apparently refractory
husbands who are all unconscious that
they are being managed. But take
things all together, this husband and
wife were as happy together as are all
young couples who have been married
year.
One morning at breakfast, as his
wife, clad in n bewitching gown, was
pouring the coffee, the smart, white
aproned maid came in with the mail,
and amid the pile of letters was one
upon which his wife seized eagerly
and tore open with the unconventional
aid of the butter knife.
''Oh, Jack" she said, joyfully, as she
read on with smiling face, "Maude is
coming. You remember Maude?"
He did not remember Maude and
said so.
"Oh, yes, you do" his wife replied.
"She was my chum when you came to
see me before we were married. She
used to plague us by coming in when
we wante d to be alone. Don't you re-
member"
Jack had a dim recollection of a
small girl who used to make herself
''too confoundedly numerous" as Jack
had once said in moment of exaspera'
ton, but her face he could not call to
mind. So he nodded and asked when
she was coming.
Tonight, she says She does not
mention the train There are two

so glad she Is coming. We can have
such fun talking over old times and,
oh, lots Of things"
Jack folded his napkin, got his grip
and, accompanied by his wife, walked
to the door which opens on the pretty
porch with the woodbine and the view
of the garden and the woods browning
the hill. The old familiar scene was
enacted at parting for the day, and
Jack went briskly down the path to
the road which leads to the railroad
station, stopped at the gate long
enough to look back and wave fare
well to the figure in the bswitching
morning gown which stood in the door
framed BY the woodbtss. He boarded

She left here February 9th for Philadelphia
and was blown so far out of her course-tha
she made for the West Indies.
There is little hope that the bark Au
Sable. owned by j. S. Winslow & Co., Will
ever reach port again. She left Port Tampa
for Baltimore, loaded with phosphate rock,
on the 18th of January. and has now been
out forty days. She would have ordinarily
made the passage in about two weeks. ANY
seafaring man we'll knows that with such a
cargo and absent SO long. there is little or
no hope that the vessel can ever reach port.
OF course the crew may have been picked
up and saved, and this is proba BILE as well
as possible.
