Pets Whose Death Brings sorrow
to Many Households.
Buffalo CouYier.
Down in Westf1eld, N. j., is an esti-
mable citizen who has just taken to
himself a second wife and who now
finds himself in rather embarrassing
circumstances every Sunday morning.
His first wife owned a pointer that was
exceedingly fond of her and on the day
of her funeral the dog seemed to real
ize, when the coffin was taken from
the house, that 1t contained his beloved
mistress. AS the bell to1led the dog
howled pitifully, and from that time
whenever it has heard church bells the
faithful creature has cried. The warm
attachment of dogs for masters and
mistresses and for one another has
been marked many times, but GU
rious instance that was noticed in
Westfield, Mass, some time ago has
heretofore remained out of print.
A wealthy gentleman Of that town,
who owns plantation in Virginia,
where he raises blooded pointers,
brought two of these animals, Rex and
Lena, to his northern home. The pair
had been attended in person by an
aged negro and for them q strong at
tachment had been formed which, how
ever was evinced in greater degree
by Rex, though, curiously enough.

a moment to see how matters were
getting on. He was going to Boston to
buy leather, but as he came in some
one suggested him for the mayoralty.
The name at that time met with the
earnest approval Of those who were
present-of such men as Col H. M.
DLffield, the big Four Elder Blades,
Col. Farnsworth. Harry Tillman and
many others of the same influence-and
1t was unanimously voted to present
his name to the convention. The sug-
gestion was such surprise to him
that Mr.. Pingree sat like a stone DUR
ing the talk and at the decision seized
his hat and bolted for the door. He
found it locked, and was thus compel.
ed to sit still and was not allowed tc
continue his leather mission until he
had made a promise to accept the
nomination in case his partners also
gave assent.
WENT INTO THE FIGHT TO WIN
Mr.. Pingree came home from the
East and his determination was al
fever heat. 1t dawned upon him that
he had been selected because no one
else wanted to make the run and II
made him angry. He announced that
he would be elected and he put aside
leather for politics. He went into the
campaign with the vehemence of a
mad bull and swore both literally and
metaphortcally that he would wipe out
the Democratic majority and earn tins
executive chair. People laughed at his
enthusiasm, but the more they laughed
the angrier Pingree became. He es-
tablished two bureaus. One was in
the hands of Edson. Black, Farnswortr
and Elliott. and the business OF this
was to write documents about the mis-
rule Of Detroit and the remedies OF

EATS FROGS AND OYSTERS.

Joshua Luton lives on the edge Of
the marsh on the bay shore almost due
east from Redwood City His home
is not pleasant one to look at, nor
even to get near for that matter 1t
is only a small shanty, built Of all sorts
of odds and ends Of such stuff as he has
managed to pick up along the shore
But 1t Is picturesque in the extreme,
and old Joshua is one Of the queerest
men in the state, says the San Fran
cisco Call
Joshua says he Is S5 years old, but he
doesn't look 1t, for he is as hale and
hearty man as can be seen In a days
journey. He is as straight as a ships
mast, and his complexion is ruddy with
the glow of health. He wears very lit
tie clothes, but such as they are are
not unusual in any way. What is
peculiar about Joshua, though, is the
food he eats, which consists entirely of
frogs and a few oysters.
The place that Joshua calls his home
is in about as unhealthy a spot as can

ing until late at night He is a son
Of poor Maine farmer, a very rich
man and apparently conscientious in
all that he does. He Is charged with
insincerity, but the charge usually
comes from those upon whose toes he
has stepped. His politics have cost him
vast amount Of money, the loss Of
all his society friends and the enmity
Of all the business world Of the city.
He is not an educated man, reads
speeches of poor stock written by paid
secretary, and at times Is radical with
out good judgment. He weighs 225
pounds, is six. feet tall, and with him
in the gubernatorial chair there will
be an administration which will make
the eccentricities of Waite and Pen
noyer mere Incidents.

despite the fact that he was a million
aire. They were taken with the plat
form and the election took him into
office with rush. The adverse ma
Jority was wiped out and he was elected
by more than 5000 plurality. There
was a general rejoicing and Detroit
started upon a new era.
The rejoicing soon ceased in many
quarters. Pingree set out to carry out
his platform and began to go after the
corporations. He opened war on the
street car lines and the gas companies.
Many of his supporters were stock
holders IN the monopolies, and they
tried to call him of. He refused He
pegged away at reforms OF all kinds,
made handsome streets from mud
holes. completed the scent fare ar
rangement, cut gas bills in two taxed
big concerns twice as much as they
had paid before and still kept the
figures within bounds. He raped
right and left, and one year In office
drove all the men who put him there
into hostile camp. He proved re-

too much. There were formed all man

POTATO PATCH IDEA rs BORN. S
This manner of; warfare brought him
better support than he had at the
beginning. The people came to his
standard. and then he thought of the
municipal potato patch. This was q
success. He raised more than 10000
bushels the first syear. and his ma
jority went up thes next spring proper
tionately. He did other spectacular
things-not, perhaps, because they
were spectacular, but because he was
earnest in his efforts to give the people
what they wanted. he was reelected
four times in succession, and last time
swelled the majority to nearly 10000
He Is the hero of the laboring men, and
there Is no man In the city who would
dare run against him with any ex-
pectancy Of winning.

eyes and white goatee. There never

A Sweet Child Gone.

Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
the spark of life went out from the

spirit of little Ruth, the daughter of

agonized parents thac the thread OF
life would hold, but it was a hope
Little Ruth was aged , years G
months and Is days and was an
idolized favorite whith all who knew
her. Robust and beautiful in form,
bright in intellect and sweet in dis
position, she was the light of the
home now clouded in deepest gloom.
The funeral took place this after
noon at 2:30 O'Clock from the family
residence and was very largely at

There is still another cause fol
