BRAVE "TIGE. "
Dog Saves His Helpless Master from
Terrible Death.

Dog Saves His Helpless Master from a
Terrible Death.
Tige is only dog, and a ''yaller dog
at that, but his mixed breed has given
him a shaggy coat and bushy tail, and
nature has given him deal more sense
than the man who owns him stands pos
sessed of, says the Temple Tex CORE
spondent Of the Philadelphia Times.
I1geS master IS a rancher, so-called
who lives on a rocky little place south Of
here, and who yesterday came 10 town
bringing bale of cotton on his rickety
wagon. After diSpOsing Of the cotton
the good-for-nothing fellow straightaway
proceeded to drink up the proceeds, and
before the day was far spent he and his
money were pretty far gone.
Toward evening he climbed into the
wagon, perhaps with an idea of going
home, as he unhitched his shaggy ponies
from the post in front Of the grocery
where they had been standing all day
without bite of food or a drink of wa
ter, and only Tige curled up under the
wagon to keep them company. But, hav-
ing gotten into the wagon, the man was
overcome by a Jag" and fell down on
the floor and went to sleep.
Meantime, the poor, starved ponies be-
gan grazing about. picking a wisD of
green here and there, till presently they
got out on the edge Of the town. and
had climbed up the three feet of railroad
eembankment, dragging the wagon after
them and nipping the grass between the
cross ties In the midst of this state of
things the northb0und train came around
the curve, bearing straight down upon
the wagon. The engineer blew his wills
tie, but the man in the wagon was TOO
Tar gone to hear. A Mexican tamale ven
dor some distance off saw the danger and
ran down the embankment whistling to
the horses, but they were too hungry to
heed so slight warming
But. there was Tige, the dog, the po-
mes faithful friend: Realizing the dan
ger on the instant. Tige bounded I'D the
embankment and began barking and bit
ing at the horses heels with such per
slstence that they in turn set to kicking
and bac king down upon him, all the time
getting farther and farther out of harms
way, till, just as the train sped by. thew
had gotten themselves and their sleeping
master out of the path of it's destruction.

DECLINES TO SHED TEARS.
The Bradbury Romance Fails to End
with q Tableau.

with q TRb1eau.
Chicago, H., July 17.-John II. Brad
bury, the California millionaire, and his
runaway wife have met and said How
de do?" The angel of reconciliation is
still in the air looking for an opportune
time and place to alight.
In the romance, as enacted yesterday,
there were all the essential elements, ex-
cept good fearful ending.
The husband, reasonably confident and
duly forgiying, waited long and patient
ly; the mother, gracious above measure
and solicitous, brought the erring daugh-
ter back; but the wife, alas! though will
ing enough to be forgiven, it may be,
would not, though the heavens should
fall, be tearfully penitent
SO the comedy of reconciliation was
blocked in the last act. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bradbury spent the night under the same
roof for the first time in a fortnight. but
they occupied different suites of rooms
on different floors of the Wellington ho-
tel and it is still problem whether The

eating the matter thoroughly and
one of the ablest lawyers in this coun-
try has given me an opinion covering
the case. He says that an executive
can revoke his own deeds, just as 4
Legislative body can reconsider an act.
1t is not probable that Cleveland will
change his mind on the civil service
order, but it is within the power to
revoke his own act. His successor
will not be bound by Cleveland's ac-
ton. Mckinley will be president and
of the government in his own way. He
can revoke that odious order, and be-
Heve he will do so.''
