The discovery was made by Frank
Howe, an employee Of the Elgin Dairy

81 years Of age.
DR.. Rauscher, after a careful profess

the conclusion that one Of the horses
had fallen upon the young man and
broken a blood vessel In his brain. This
belief Is strengthened by the fact that

Last night, when was snug In bed.
A fairy came to me and said:

A box, a mirror and ring.
Each morning use the mirror bright.
To bring your little faults to light;
when you have found them. every one.
Open this box. as have done.
"And pack them quickly out of sight.
Remember! shut the lid down tight!
I'VE call these, best Of gifts to youth.
One, Seif-control. the other. Truth;

I never spoke. I did not stir;

And when she went do not know
She melted like a fake Of snow.

I'm sure she came, so real 1t seemed;
But mamma says must have dreamed.

Aged Dog Teaches Terrier Pup How TO
Guard House.
The following story is told by resi-
dent who has an old dog, q spaniel, that
for nearly 20 years has been the most
faithful of guardians. Summer or win
ter, fair weather or foul, as soon as the
kew was turned In the lock of the back
door he had taken his position at the
threshold, and not the slightest sound
escaped his investigation during the
night, asserts the Detroit Journal. The
faithful old fellow il becoming decrepit,
and his master recently carried home
bull terrier pup with a pedigree OF
great length and the bluest OF blood.
That was three months ago, and the pup
il now five months old. For time the
old brown spaniel had no use for the
trisky little white-haired fellow, so en-
tirely unlike himself, that run under
him, jumped over and upon his back,
grabbed his long and silky ears, and
attempted to run away with them, but
rfter time it was clear case OF grand
father and the youngest baby.
This is the situation now: When the
key is turned it is the pup that takes
the position at the threshold. while the
old dog, confident of the faithfnlness OF
his proxy sentinel, retires to his piece
of carpet and snores the night through
Not only does the terrier remain on
duty all night, but the moment some
one is astir in the house she rctires to
her bunk fol- sleep, just as the old dos
| did for so many years. The owner has
tip-toed down to the door at all hours
| but has never found her mapping.
"Three months ago." says the master
"this pup knew absolutely nothing
except how to play and eat Its sol'
companion has been the old dog, an'
to-day the pup knows all that the ole

Suspend this miniature cartridge from

GOOD ALL-ARouND DOG.
Enxlish Pointer Draws His Masters
bicycle Up Steep Grades.

Bicycle Up steep Grades.
Steadman Coe, of Ware, thinks he
has the best all-round dog in America,
bar none. He is a remarkably large,
heavy English pointer Of a very high
breed, and rejo.ces in the concise and
barky name of Zoe Coe, and he has made
his short three years OF life in one
grand endeavor to djsprovc Prof.
Shaler's recent theory that canine IN
telligence must be looked for In mon
prels. Already he is q splendid watch
dog, an earnest enthusiastic and sue
cessful fighter, and without superior
in the surrounding district as u bird
dog, but the claim to reputation Is
based on his fine qualities as driver.
When Joe was u small dog his owner,
who is an enthusiastic bicyclist, be-
coming discouraged by the many hills
around Ware, began considering the
problem of securing some sort OF
portable dynamo to aid him in hill
climbing. Being quite expert in the
handling of animals, he decided 10 use
Joe in this capacity. He had special
harness constructed for Joe and began
training him Immediately. Joe took
kindly to the ideu, and the exercise
agreed with him. He was fed freely
and grew with great bounds, the work
causing his bird quarters to increase
with special rapidity till they were
marked with Jumps Of well-hardened
muscle, and appeared more after the
general pattern OF small horse than
dog. Under this rigid course OF train
ing he soon became much larger than
either OF his parents, and celebrated
the first anniversary of his birth by
giving his father the walloping OF his
life. Since then he has been the ac-
knowledged king dog of the town.
He is frank and peaceful In his dealing
with his fellow dogs, but insists rigidly
on his rights, and for good, sound team
ing qualities he has probably no equal
in this country.
The method Of operating Joe is very
simple His harness consists OF a
breastplate, u surcingle to hold 1T IN
place and n strap extending down the
backbone and ending in ring ut the
base of the tail. The rest of the APP
paratus consists of a strap about four
feet long with snap hook at the fur
ther end, the strap being attached TO
the steering post of the bicycle, and
r when not in use wrapped around the
handle bars. When hill is reachee'
: Mr.. Coe whistles to Joe, and the pointer
d comes I'D alongside and allows the hook
q to be snapped into the ring on his har
g ness without compelling the rider to dis
II mount. He then jumps forward anc
pulls up the hill, dropping back at the
m TOP to be loosened again. The hundred
a odd pounds of active dog is wonder

The Swiss Pike.

The name of the Swiss is generally
identified with the long pike OF the
the 1s-foot shaft; and most gallant
attempts have been made by recent
writer's to prove that this celebrated
weapon was Swiss invention and em-
ployed by the confederates from the
first. The point, however, is one that
must remain uncertain, for the earli-
est mention of the long pike is found
in an order addressed in 1897 by Count
Philip of Savoy to the burghers Oh
Turin, and no one can tell whether the
Savoyards borrowed 1t from the Swiss
or the Swiss from the Savoyards. The
primitive weapons of all infantry seem
to be the spear and shield The Milanese
fought with such spears, or pixies,
eight or ten feet in length, at Legnano,
the Scotch at Falkir, and the Elem
ings Mt Courtrai; 70 that it is impos-
sible to predict of any one nation that
IL added the requisite number OF feet
to the weapons shaft in order to make
long pike. There is no mention OF
pixies in the battles of the Swiss until
Sempach, and 1t is probable that IN
that action they were not above ter
feet In length.-Macmillan's Magazine
