in his most deprecatory way:

rules to have dogs in the passenger
cars"

up two lovely brown eyes at him be-
seechingly. what in the world will

'WeIl put him in the baggage car,
and he'll be just as happy as robin IN

What! put my nice white dog in a
dirty baggage carp
I'm awfuily sorry, miss, but the rules
of this company are infiexible."
'I think it's awfully mean, and know
somebody will steal it," and she showed
a half notion to cry that nearly broke
the conductors heart; but ne was nrm
and sang out to the brakeman:
Here. Andy, take the dog into the
baggage car, and tell 'em to take the
best kind of care of him..
The young lady pouted, but the brake
man reached over and picked the canine
up as tenderly as though 1t was two
weeks-o old baby, butt 'as he did' SO
strange expression came over his face
and he said hastily to the conductor:
Here, you just hold him minute" >"
and he trotted out at the car door and
held on to the brakewheel.
The conductor no sooner had his hands
on the dog than he looked around Tor
hole to fall through.
"Wh-wh-why, this Is worsted dog!'
Yes, SIR" said the miss, demurely,
didn't you know that?"
He laid the dog down on the owners

dog brought to the receiver of the La

dog pricked up his ears and recognized
the wired voice of his master instantly
Thinking the voice came from the othel

ing Stolen Bicycle
A little colored boy about 13 years old,
who gives the name of Henry Brown
and residence on Santa Fe avenue, near
the railroad roundhouse, was brought
to police headquarters at $50 yesterday
afternoon by G. w. Tower, proprietor
of the Central park cyclery on South
Hill street.
About two weeks ago Henry rented a
wheel of Mr.. Tower and has since failed
to return it or explain his reasons for
retaining possession of the bicycle.
While out riding Tower caught sight of
Harry on the street, placed him under
arrest and took him to the station. The
lad claimed that he had not stolen the
wheel, but still had it out atPfiis home.
He said he had bargained for the rental
of it for week, yet could not explain
why he had kept it two weeks without
tany notification to the owners.
On Saturday evening Harry's mother
appeared at the police station and noti-
thai he's snRe boy osXta49sadd a49add tfRat KAT

MORE EXACTIONS BY TIE ICE TRUST.
MOVE WHICH WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN
THE PRICE OF PROVISIONS

People who have been complaining because the
Ice trust has raised the price Of Ice delivered at
private houses will soon have cause for fresh COM
plants because they will be forced to pay higher
prices for meats and other provisions which they
buy at the markets The ice companies In the
combination TO raise prices have served notice that
the marketmen will have to pay 50 20 instead OF
a 20 for every ton Of ice delivered to them Not
only that, but the marketmen will be allowed TO
take ice at the increased price only IN solid cakes
and will not be permitted TO have the chips. which
were thrown in when the Ice was delivered to them
for the former price.
This means that the cost of keeping many
articles OF food at the markets In warm weather
will be greatly increased, and that the marketmen
will have to charge higher prices to save them
selves from loss The people who keep house and
he ice trust
