For the summer Home They Are Ideal
Nests of RePOsc.
Why spend lots of money buying
beds for the summer cottage. or why
sleep uncOmfOrtably on the wretched
beds supplied? Try a hammock. 1t is
delightfully."- comfortable, takes up lit
tie room at night, need take up none
in the day, and costs very little. Be-
sides, there are sure to be more friends
than a have beds in the summer, but
if it's hammocks, the little cottage can
boast a hospitality as elastic as the oc-
casion requires. One small room, that
won't hold a bed, will swing three
hammOcks, all the heads going on one
hook, the other ends being bestowed
as the room permits. Any ham,
mock will do, but the BEST one
is the regular sailor laddy's
canvas hammock. Two widths
of single sail cloth make a
luxurious bed hammock. They are
made without stretchers, and the ends
are firmly dashed with small cord, run
through cord-linished holes, a heavy
ring being set iu at the end. The
hooks must be put up with screws. for
nails are not safe.
To make up the hammock for Sleep
ing, first, a comforter, then another,

and their weight should Stretch the

Myriads of dogs people every street.
They lie asleep in the midst of the
thickest thoroughfares. and act as
~scavengers in the day and as disturb
ers of sleep at night, for when the sun
goes down. and it grows cold, they be-
gin to range about and settle their
disputes about the limits of their do
mains. A group with a leading dog,
their captain, pasha, occupy each
street; they know. and are recognized
by the h~ouseholhers, who feed them
with that b~enevolence to animals
which distinguishes the Turk. But
if a strange dog intrudes he must he

KIDNAPPING AN HEIREsS.

Second aud Almost Successful Attempt
To Spirit Away Woman in Erie, Pa.
ERIE, Pa, Dec. 3l.-The almost success
full attempt to kidnap Mrs. Fred Paxter
of Girard has created n great sensation
here. Mrs. Baxter was found last night
in tho garden near tho entrance TO the ho-
tel barn bound hand and foot and uncon-
scious. Sho was attended by a doctor, who
said that the loss Of consciousness was due
TO tho use of an ancsthetic.
Mrs. Baxter is 18 years old and tho
daughter of tho proprietor of the Rhodes
hotel. Six months ago two men entered
the bedroom of herself and her mother,
and the elder woman fired and wounded
the intruders. but they escaped. Two
months later two men entered the house
ut night, and, by the use of q heavy cape
and chloroform, succeeded in dragging
tho young woman out of the house into
the yard. but before they could get her
into n buggy they were discovered and
fed.
Mrs. Baxter can give no account of last
nights escapadc, more than to say that
she was seized in the front hall of the
house and overcome by something on a
sponge which was held on hor face. The
proceeding is attributed TO the fact that a
bequest of $4,000 in Canada is hers at the
age OF 81. and in the event of her death il
goes to another heir.

And Dragged the Body of His Dead

NEWPORT. Dec. 3l.-Abner 5. Main met
n shocking death early this morning in
some mysterious manner that may never
be explained. He was in charge Of the
big farm in Portsmouth of Henry A. {.
Taylor of New York. 1t is about seven
miles from Newport, and Main was in
the habit of staying in town very late.
About o'clock this morning Mrs. Main
and her 17-year-old daughter heard
noise in the yard and went out. There
stood Mains faithful horse and what was
supposed TO be blanket was hanging TO
the front axle. Mrs. Main reached down
to pick up the cloth, only TO put her hand
on the mangled and bleeding form Of the
husband and father. The foot was caught
between tho steps and the wheel, and by
il tho farmer had been dragged TO his
death for miles over tho country roads.
The flesh was nearly all worn from the
body, and many bones were broken.
Farmers, by marks in the road, traced
the place of the fall, five miles away. The
horse knew the way home from expe-
rience and went on, taking his masters
corpse 10 his own door yard.
