Valuable Dog.

Some tribes of American Indians are
said to be highly expert at feats OF jug
elery. Other tribes seem to be almost
nnacouainted with such tricks, II we
are to credit a story said TO have been
told by military officer at Fort Sill
and reported by the Buffalo Express.
Professor McAllister, the magician,
once visited camp of River Crows on
the Yellowstone, and after extracting
various packs of cards and other articles
from the ears, necks, noses ana gar
ments of the astonished Indians was III,
vited TO a big feast OF roast dog anu
other delicacies.
Chief Two Belly was so impressed Oy
the great medicine powers OF the pro-
fessor that he took him to his wlgwam
introduced him to his daughter, miss
Wicista- Meta (meaning wlldcat) an'
offered her TO him for wife at the low
price of two ponies
The feast and daughter were both de
clined. but as McAllister was leaving
the tepee he spied lean, yellow cur
He asked Chief Two Belly how mucl
he would take for the dog, at the sam
time stroking the brute down the pacl
and each time taking q handful OF mon
ev from the end Of his tail
"Him very valuable dog, y SAID NC
| Allister, picking coin out OF the dog
eve and another out of his nose l"
ponies for him, chief.
The Indians, with eyes as big as sau
cers stood in awe and astonishment an
shook their heads. After McAIis1el ~. .
gone they carried the poor dog down
the riverside and cut him open put VI
goose had no golden egg, and they wei
slowly back to camp as comPle'e'
dumfounded and as solemn as huma
beings can possibly be.

A Wonderful Avenue.

Magnolia avenue, which has been the
pride of Riverside from its founding,
and which has won a national reputa-
tion as boulevard, has had two de-
fects. The streets leading TO 1t were
usually dusty and disagreeable, while
the darkness of the avenue, owing TO the
dense foliage of the overhanging pepper
trees, made it rather dismal evening
drive. All that is at an end. 1t is now
possible to drive from the heart OF town
over macadamized streets, perfectly free
from dust and mud, direct to the peer
less Magnolia avenue, and If the drive
be taken in the evening arc lights are
encountered every 800 feet, giving
splendid illumination. When the ave-
me is reached, there is presented such
n sight as few, if any, towns possess.
The electric poles are but 124 feet apart,
and from these brackets project about
three feet. From each bracket hangs a
cluster of three incandescent lights COW
cred with reflector, which throws the
light on to the driveway.
As one stands at one end Of this row
! Of lights but four or five of them can be
distinguished as individual lights, the
remainder forming continuous chain
of fire which seemingly stretches away
| for untold miles beneath the verdan'
canopy of the arohing pepper trees.
Modern as is the scene, it impresses the
bebolder as an oriental fantasy worthy
of the Spanish Moors. The imagined
extent of the wondrous chain OF hire
however, is in a degree an optical illu
sion. Instead of being miles in length
il is but little over mile. Instead o
there being untold thousands of lights
one is amazed to learn that there ar
but 100, suspended from but 90 poles

Chixalroua Mr.. Fields.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. in her book,
"Chapters From Life. pays the FOL
lowing tribute to James T. Fields:
"Mr. Fields was man OF marked
ohiyalry of nature, and, at a time when
il was not fashionable to help the move
ments for the elevation of women his
sympathy was distinct, fearless and
faithful. In few instances, we knew.
and he knew, that this fact deprived
him of the possession Of certain public
honors which would otherwise have
been offered to him.
"He advocated the political advance
ment of our sex, coeducation and kim
dred movements without any OF that
apologetic murmur SO common among
the half hearted or the timid. His fas-
tidious and cultivated literary taste was
sensitive to the position of women IN
letters. He was incapable OF that liter
ary snobbishness which undertakes .
woman's work because it is woman s.

Som. Fearful Nom sra.
During the late war betwcon Chi

Duripg the late war between China
and Japan We heard often OF wonderful
acts Of bravery performed by the Jap
anese, hut tales Of Chinese bravery were
Few and far between. The following
story, however, which appears TO be told
by an eyewitness is enough to show
that the Chinese had at least one officer
who was no coward.
The deposed viceroy, LII Hung Chang,
and the committee appointed by the
government TO investigate the reasons OF
defeat at the battle OF Port Arthur met
in the city of Picking. Among the charges
was one of poor gunnery brought
against Captain Le Chen Fue, who had
commanded the Yen Use Chang, one Of
the largest battleships that escaped from
the action without gre;r; damage.
After Lii Hung Chang had read the
charges in full the accused captain rose
and requested that a dozen shells bC
brought from his vessel. This was done
| and the shells were set i'll "a row before
the committee.
LIE Chen Fue then stepped forward
and drawing his sword snid, "Can yo'
wonder that we were defeated when on
shells were like these?'
AS he spoke and before any one coul'
stop him he raised his sword am
brought it down on the shell in front
him. The shell was split in two, AM
sawdust and red brick dust flew a.
about.
Then in rapid succession he struc

member thinking that if the last on
proved good one there would be nor
of us left to tell the tale; but, no, th'
was like all the others-a sham.
As he finished lie Chen Fue laid h
sword at the feet of LII Hung Cham
and as soon as that statesman cou
, speak he dismissed the charges.

NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
IL Was Provided by st. Louis Man For
His wjfe's Feminine Friends.

His wife's Feminine Friends.
A wealthy st. Louissn living In the
vicinity Of Lafayette park provided
novel form of entertainment for his
wifes guests one evening. says the st.
Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious to
provide something original for the edi-
fication of score of guests whom she
intended to call together for an informal
evening. Her husband promised to pro-
vide such novelty and took boon COM
panion into his confidence to that end.
They had not exchanged ideas 30 con-
secutive seconds before they hit upon
the device of converting the elegant
parlors into gambling house pro tenn.
A faro bank, roulette wheel and po-
ker and keno lay outs were easily pro-
durable, as the conferees well knew,
and that part Of the programme was
soon settled The friend suggested as "a
pretty epilogue the introduction OF
pair of bulldogs. guaranteed to reduce
each other to mince meat III three
rounds. This rather staggered the ambl-
tious host, but his friend is ward poll
tician, and with the eloquence he always
keeps on draft soon convinced the other
that the evening would be failure
without those bulldogs
| The evening arrived, and with 1t came
the guests. The ladies were prettily
shocked at sight of the gambling para
| phernalia, but became accustomed TO II
| in an astonishingly short time and shar'
ed in the games with becoming vim. II
was when the yellow bulldogs made
| their unexpected entrance that the nor
ror of the fair guests proved genuine
The beasts yelped and growled anc
showed other peculiarly canine symp
toms of "spoiling for fight. " There
upon the ladies sought refuge on the pl
ano and card tables and chairs, con
Quoting their retreat as from mouse.
Notwithstanding excited femlnin
protestations, the friend who had beel
consulted as to a novelty i'll entertain
ment unleashed the dogs. 1t was an ez
citing climax to an Original" evening
The dogs Toasted for five minutes o
choice bits of each others anatomy
The ladies screamed and the friend WI
was consulted exulted in the success
his novelty. When he was quite COZ
yinced-and it took a considerable TIN
to convince him-that the ladies' desil
for gore had been fully gratihed, !
doused the dogs into a convenient u
of water and separated them.

Animal Kindergartens.

II will be noticed that all creatures
which have large families, whether
beasts or birds, have less trouble in rear
ing them than those which have only |
one or two young. Little pigs are weeks
ahead of calves in intelligence, and the
young partridge, with its dozen brothers
and sisters, is far more teachable than !
the Young eagle. There seems no doubt
that the latter is taught to fly by It's
parents A correspondent informs the
writer that he has watched the old
birds so engaged and the young eagles

In the mud patting and repairing OF the

Young offers, and probably also young
