Two Dogs In One.

Here is dog story, which you can
believe or not as you please. A gen.
tleman remarked of a friends dog that
the two eyes of the animal were re-
markably different in size. YES"
was the reply, ''and he takes a mean
advantage of the fact whenever / have
a stranger to dine with me. He first
gets fed at one side of my guest; and
then goes round the table TO his other
side. and pretends to be another dog"
-Harper's Round Table.

his native dress, who carried rifle,
while couple of revolvers and
poniard adorned his sash. Motioning to
the consul to follow him, he proceeded
but few PAGES into the forest, then
halted and blew long, low, peculiar
whistle on his fingers.
Approaching footsteps were immedi-
ately heard, and there emerged from
among the trees the whilom prisoner,
alone. AS he ranged up to the side of
his deliverer, the gold was handed
over, carefully counted, and then, with
low bow, the robber turned on his
heel, at once disappeared, without hav-
ing uttered word, and the consul and
his purchase were free to depart.
Methwick hall was ablaze with light
on the evening of the heirs return to
his ancestral home. The female por-
tion of the family had spent the day
in alternately laughing and crying for
joy. and were now in a state of intense
excitement, anxiously awaiting the re-
turn of the carriage from the station.
Presently the sound of wheels was
heard drawing up to the door, and
mother and sisters rushing out, fell
upon Robert, hugged him and kissed
him and half dragged, half carried
him into the house, but it was not un-
til after they had been for some time
assembled In the library that there
flashed across their minds the remem-
brance of that horror that lay buried
beside the stream. His mother first
made the discovery.
why, Robert, you have two ears!"
1.-Two ears, mother! Have l net al
ways had two?"
But we buried one of them"
Hon. Robert was evidently in the
dark, and when they explained he de-
clared (truthfully) that he knew moth
ing about il. AS a word painter he
proved a decided failure, considering
the adventures which they expected
him to recount. He had nothing to re-
late, simply monotony waiting for the
ransom, and, no matter how they piled
him with questions, he could tell them
nothing of the doings of the gang, for
he said he never saw any of them ex-
cept the one who had him in charge.
A few days after his return, plead
ing the necessity of a visit to West
End tailor, he travelled to London,
after receiving strict injunctions and
giving promise to shun his old haunts
and companions. Arrived in town, he
at once proceeded to Tom Langton's
chambers, and his first words to his
chum were:
Il say, Tom, what about that ear,
and why wasn't told of it?"
We'll, I thought you might object.
and as it was desirable to bring things
to climax, got it from the dissecting
room at the hospital through a stu
dent"
1T took me quite by surprise when
they accused me of having two ears,
and told me they had buried one of
them. But how about the money!"
II have told the fellows that you
have negotiated loan and empowered
me TO pay your debts. Here are the l
o US that have bought up, and the
total amount is about e2, 996. The re-
naming 81 ,004-"

Weather-Crop Bulletin.
Seattle, WASH, July %, 1895.
WESTERN SECTION.

The temperature Of the past week was
slightly lower than the average, the last
two days only being very warm. Though
there was considerable cloudiness, no
rain occurred except a slight sprinkle on
the 18th, and the dry spell since the 9th
remains practically unbroken. As rule
the weather was regarded by cores
pondents as favorable for the present
needs of the crops. Rain would greatly
improve potatoes and other vegetables,
but the dry, cool weather has been eX-
cellent Tor hay making and for the ma
turing of grain. Harvesting cannot be
said to have fairly commenced although
some has been done in the southern
counties.
In King county the weather was not
regarded as good for haying, which is
we'll under way, with oat harvest crowd
ing. Hop lice are now abundant, but
kept well in hand.
Snohomish county-Haying somewhat
delayed by cool, cloudy weather during
first part of the week. Oats and barley
are looking fine. Hops are less promis-
ing than year ago. Root crops are do
ing well.
Skagit county-Haying well advanced
in all parts of the county. Oats look
well. Potatoes need rain.
Clarke county-Haying is well adj
vanced. Rye is ready for harvesting,
and wheat is turning. A little rain
would be good for fruits and vegetables.
Skamania county-Rather dry. Hay
ing we'll along Wheat housed in fine
condition.
Lewis county-Haying at Winlock and
Little Falls well under way. Fruit do
ing very well.
Cowlitz county-Haying we'll along,
with good crop. Plums are short in
some parts OF the county. Hops are in
good condition and potatoes are doing

MACHINE.
Reids Preliminary Trial Held at Colfax
last Monday.
Several New Features Brought out In
the Examination.

The preliminary trial of Tobe Reid, on
a charge of sending the internal machine
to Miss Gertie Spicer last March, was
heard before Justice Doolittle, at Colfax,
last Monday. After the witnesses were
esamined the arguments were postponed
till next Monday, when the justice will
also give his decision. Several new facts
were brought out at the trial, and 1t is
believed that Reid will be held to apt ear
before the superior court.
Miss Spicer was the first witness
brought upon the stand and her testi-
mony was substantially the facts of the
ospe as published Immediately after the
trouble, with the additional statements
that never in her life had she felt in her
heart feeling of an oVerpIus OF love Tor
Mr.. Reid. She had been acquainted
with him for some time and had the
same regard for him that she had Tor the
rest of the neighbor boys. They never
kept company she said. The only times
they were ever together outside of the
home bounds was once when he rode
with her to Pullman in q hack. As they
were going he tried to put his arm around
her but she made him quit. Reid claims
he was only trying to hold keg in.
Little difficulties after this began ris-
ing between the two and ere long they
were anything but good friends.
The machine contained two 38 caliber
cartridges which were wrapped in an
envelope addressed to the Standard Oil
Company, Pullman, Wash, with return
label OF A. G. Loucks, VolImer, Idaho.
.1lfred Caswell OF near Pullman testi-
fed that some time after the incident
Reid came where he was working and
asked him to turn grindstone vile he
ground a razor and while thev were
working Reid confessed that he send
the machine to Miss Spi.asi. &se 9Nel
told this to no one except the prosecut'
ing attorney, and he alluded to it only
to Miss Spicer by saying that he hac
some pretty strong evidence. He has
talked with Gertie several times but de-
MED that they were lovers.

The first week has been cooler, but the
dry spell continues unbroken. Drying
winds have prevailed, which were re-
garded by some as hurtful, but by others
as beneficial. The reports are in general
more hopeful than for several weeks

is very uneven, the conditions being eX-
pressed by one correspondent as

Wooden Kitchen Utensils.

After new wooden vessel is purchased,
whether it is to be used for chopping
bowl, butter bowl, "a flour bucket or for
any other purpose about the food, it will
generally give disagreeable taste at first
to anything that is put into it. To prevent
this inconvenience first scald the vessel
well with boiling water, letting the water
remain in 1t until cold Then dissolve
some pearl ash or soda in lukewarm water,
adding little lime to 1t, and wash the in
side Of the vessel well with this solution.
After this scald 1t again with plain hot
water and rinse thoroughly with GOLD wa
ter. After 1t is dry and ready for use,
there will be no further difficulty about
the taste Of the new wood being impaired
to the food.
