FIDO ATE THE CHICKEN.
An Incident That Shows tho Sa-
gacity of One Dog.
How the Canine Gourmand Deprived
Chicago Man Who Worked
Late ut Night of His Tooth
some Luncheon.

If there is anything that appeals to
the palate of hungry man along
toward midnight it is plate of hot
chicken. 1t may also be remarked that
there is nothing that appeals more di-
rectly to the palate of dog. Another
proof of the acquired tastes of mans
best friend, perhaps, but there is the
fact-dogs are fond of chicken.
On Ohio street, not far from Clark,
says the Chicago News, lives man who
revels in hot chicken. His profession
makes him toll in darksome hours, and
he usually reaches his doorway at al
most exactly IL o'clock each night. At
1880 o'clock a certain sandwich cart
man goes past the house and the late
worker and the man of sandwiches some
time ago struck mutually advanta-
geous bargain. The sandwich peddler
agreed, each night, to heat a plateful
of chicken to scorching degree, and,
as he passed the others abode, to leave
the same, wrapped in paper, in the
vestibule. When the late worker ar
rived at his home he simply picked up
it still retained it's heat, all right
he ate it there and then-if it had grown
cold, he had ways and means of making
it piping hot in short order. The sand
witch man was to call and collect every
Saturday.
This arrangement worked well for
some weeks, and everybody was happy.
Then the man who lives two rooms on
from the late worker got a dog, and now
a splendid business arrangement has
gone to smash, two men are mutually
certain that the other fellow is swim
dler, and all that has been definitely set
tied is that canine sagacity is a wonder
full thing.
The first night after acquiring the
dog the beasts owner came in at 10:45
o'clock-ten minutes after the sand
witch man had left his nightly feast of
chicken in the vestibule. AS the dogs
owner stopped to turn his key he heard

Delicious Potato Pompon.

A delicious dish of potatoes to be
served for supper can be made as fol-
lows: Season cold mashed potatoes
with pepper and salt. Take table
spoonful at a time and roll it into ball;
dip this in an egg, previously beaten
light, then roll in bread and cracker
crumbs and plunge it into a kettle of
boiling lard, to cook like doughnuts,
and you will have delicious potato
pompon. Onion finely sliced may be
added before cooking, or parsley shred
ed fine. Minced ham or tongue would
make it still better.

the Alabama, the world-famed priva-
teer. At the close of the war he matricu.
lated at the Georgetown Jesuit college,
in the District of Columbia, and was
graduated after a four years classical
course. For two years he was tutor
in the college, and in 1872 he settled in
Louisiana and was admitted to the bar.
In 1874 he removed to Pensacola, Fla,
and engaged in the successful practice
of the law. He represented the Pensa-
cola district in the state Legislature,
both as representative and senator, and
was then elected to the Fifty-second
congress. Senator Mallory is typical
southerner, an outspoken democrat,
and will add strength to his party in
the senate, and especially to the sill
yer wing, as he is a bimetallist. His
election makes the senate tie.

wear Makes Rues Valuable.

The most costly rugs in the world
come from Persia The beautiful soft
ness and peculiar sheen Of these rugs
are due to the constant treading of bare
feet. The rugs are made of goats hair
and wool combined. All oriental rugs
are hand made and each piece of wool
inserted is tied twice. Years of labor
are involved in making some of the
largest of these floor coverings, but
they never wear out When a rug is
made it has to be subjected to years of
foot wear before it becomes at all valu-
able. Many of the Persian rugs now in
use have been walked on more than
100 years and are still as new as ever.

Hestin, merchant, was a prisoner
charged with disorderly conduct in

Vining while she was a customer in
his store. The evidence was to the
effect that Miss Yining had entered the
store to purchase pair of shoes and
that Hestin had embraced her when
she was not looking. The testimony
which convicted him was given by an
old woman named Mrs. Glenn, who sells
matches on the streets, and who hap

a crunching sound beside him, and look
ing around saw the dog engaged in de-
vouring that chicken. With few sub
dued chuckles over the feelings which
would probably permeate the late work
er when he came home and found his
chicken missing, the man called the dog
into the house and retired.
The late worker concluded that the
sandwich man must have been i'll and
taken night off, and merely sighed as
he wendell his way to the nearest restau-
rant. On the following night the dog
and his master came home Just as the
sandwich man was bringing the chicken
up the steps. The dog waited till the
peddler was well away and then dis.
patched that meal in 10 seconds.
''That sandwich guy must be pretty
SICK" concluded the late worker, when
he reached his door.
On the third night dog and owner
were home allevening. Atz0;3 5 o'clock

OUR ELECTION LAWS.

Oregon election laws are a disgrace
70 the representative principle and
Anglo-Saxon civilization. First we
got an emasculated Australian ballot
law. Then It was emasculated again.
The dominant party now propose TO
change II still farther and put each
ticket in a separate column. that it
can be voted by cross at top, still
farther destroying It.

dlsgraceful scenes in PortlaEd last
spring, and that Is a mere disguise 10
ratify bosslsm in its worst form, will
be sought, by the dominant party, TO
be extended all over the state, thus
subjugatlng the country districts still
farther TO the city politicians.

believe It will be anything but legls.
