A Modem Fable.

One da.k night an old ana superan-
nuated watchdog who had been turned
out to die was sleeping in an empty
hogshead in the alley back of the big
store belonging to his master when he
was awakened by a suspicious sound.
Peering cautiously out Of his retreat,
he saw a man i'll black mask creep
stealthily up to the building and begin
piling a lot of inf1ammable material
against it.
"Ah." said the old watchdog, "here
is fine chance to return good for evil
and heap Goals of fire on the head Of my
cruel master Only this morning he
kicked me from the premises which
have guarded SO long, saying, 'Begone,
you worthless curt and, bruised, hum
bled and well nigh broken hearted,
crept in here to rest and reflect, little
thinking that would so soon have an
opportunity to demonstrate my worth
and earn the lifelong gratitude of my
master by saving his property from the
torch Of an incendiary.''
So saying, the faithful watchdog,
summoning all his strength, sprang up
on the masked intruder and bore him
to the ground just as he was about to
apply the match. There was a terrific
struggle, but the mastif bravely hung
on until a policeman reached the spot
and took charge of the would be incen-
diary.
The next day the insurance authori-
ties took the case i'll hand, and in due
course Of time the faithful and plucky
old watchdog was fitted out with a
gold collar and furnished with an easy
berth and luxurious quarters in big
insurance building, while the dogs un-
grateful master (for the man in the
black mask was indeed he) received his
just deserts by being sentenced to seven
years at hard labor for attempted arson
Moral, 1t never pays to go back on
an old friend-either four legged or two
legged-especially if you are going into
some crooked transaction where he is
liable to catch you at it.-Harper' Ba-

Rock Work and Plants In Aquariums.


In the best modern aquarium practice
the rockwork in the tanks is simple in
construction and limited to minimum
in bulk. Elaborate rockwork is more
difficult to keep clean. and if bulky it
displaces, of course, just SO much water,
and so lessons the sustaining power of
the tank. but rockwork in some form or
vegetation is desirable for the comfort
of the fishes There are fishes that like
to loaf around rocks or perhaps to creep
under, them In nature they find food
in such places, and it may be shelter
from their enemies, and there are fishes
equally accustomed to plants of one sort
and another, and almost all fishes at
times like seclusion or places where
they can go by themselves. ~ an aqua

were all constant sufferers with an awful
itching sensation, and it seemed as if

had been similarly afflicted and had taken

We continued taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
until we used five bottles and l can

have any signs of the poison. 1t has en-

We give the whole credit to Hoods Sarsa-
parila. Before resorting to this medicine

oRGANIzEp LAnnR,s APPEAL.

The manifesto and appeal to the
people Of the United States in behalf
Of the striking miners sent out by the
conference Of labor leaders in this city,
is a very strong document and ought 10
serve its purpose of raising funds
whereby the miners may carry on their
battle for living wages. 1t in no way
over-states the frightful condition of
the miners in Pennsylvania and some
parts Of West Virginia, although some
people who have no personal knowl-
edge Of the lives the miners live and
the state Of degradation to which they
have been forced by starvation wages,
find it hard to believe the tales
the strike leaders tell. although they
are nothing but the plain, bare truth.
These, however, may easily verify
these statements at any mine by ask
ing a few questions 1t is not living at
all. but mere existence Of the poorest,
most wretched and degraded sort,
These men work from years end to
years end and never see a dollar in
money. Their pay is in company
store orders and they are charged as
a rule, double prices for everything
they are forced to buy, thus still fur
Their cutting down the pittance they
receive for the most dangerous class,
Of work, so that at the end Of the sea-
son they are in debt TO the mine own
ers. When Mr.. Debs characterized this
as nothing but white slavery he spoke
the plain, naked and unvarnished
truth. 1t is worse than any slavery
that ever existed in this country. The
lives these miners lead are worse than
the lives Of cattle, worse than life in
the warehouses and in comparison
the life Of a prisoner in the peniten-
tiary is luxurious.
The strike leaders have resolved to
make one supreme effort to bring out
the West Virginia miners. who hold
the key to the situation, and every man
with human heart in his body can
not but applaud the efforts of these
men in their fight for living wages and
wish them success.

SECOND GAME.

In the second game Wheeling was
again outplayed. Smith pitched a
good game, and with better support, To-

in the run column. Hartman's work
on the bases, the fielding of Beck, and
the hitting of Hartman, Beck and My

inning, on account Of illness, and Camp
bell succeeded him in center.

guSon made monkeys Of the local bat

they connected with them they went

would not prevent him from going into
the box again tomorrow if necessary.
