Who L. Poisoning Dog,i

"Who is poisoning the dogs?" is a ques-
tion that is put quite frequently in our
quiet little village. Within the last year
five dogs have been the victims of poison,
three of which were the property of w.
E. Sage. The first one was pug dog
which was poisoned about year ago, and
only week before last the other two were
poisoned on the same day. One of these
was valuable coon dog, the other a
coach dog which was a great pet in the
family. 1t seems that this is a strange and
cruel way of paying the dog for his faith
fulness to man. 1t is truly said that the
dog is mans truest friend Then why
should any one who may possibly have
a grudge against man presume to get
revenge by this cruel and inhuman manner?
Why not, like men, meet face TO face and
seek TO have all wrongs righ!ed? II it
cannot be done in any other way there are
courts to apply to where justice will be
rendered, not only for disputes and mis-
understandings, but for this poisoning of
dogs.

very fine hen house. Mr.. Thompson came

count of very severe lung trouble, hay
ing had several hemorrhages, but is now

| beneficial for consumptlves.

secure against the spring freshets, so it is
hoped that the fountain will be in running
order next spring earlier than it was this.
