Cleveland. May I'm. A. Hanna ar
rived here to-day from Washington to
spend Sunday at home. Asked IL he
thought the war tax bill would pass as
IL now stands. Mr.. Hanna laid NO.
IL will not. OF course. the big fight will
be over the bond feature. but j think
that will pass the senate. The tonnage
tax will be cut out, as that was a seri-
u mistake, now so conceded by all.
The advance on tobacco will be agreed
to, 1 think, by the house. HI feature
will be somewhat enlarged. There will
be a fight over the tax on corporations
and IT is difficult to say how that will
come out"

twenty years ago, when a chtlo.
Miss Florence Holiday swallowed a
needle. She suffered no inconvenience
until last week. During the long inter-
val she had forgotten entirely about
the accident. Last week she became
afflicted with severe shooting pains In
her right shoulder. Physicians ex-
planned that she was suffering from
neuralgia, but when a small lump ap-
peared suddenly on her shoulder this
disproved their theory. Miss HOLIDAY
happened to think Of the needle, and
she concluded that II had possibly
worked itself to the shoulder. An
operation was performed and the nee
die found and removed. Except for
being slightly rusty the needle was In
as good condition as when swallowed
years ago.

Herder, Found I'm the Brush.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Big Timber. Mont. May H.-The body
of Ed Hayes. who mysteriously disap-
peared from the sheep camp of Carl Tan
gen on Ten Mile creek, north OF this town.
about ten days ago. was found to-day
close by where he was last seen. The
body had been washed out of the brush
by the freshet caused by the heavy rains
OF the last few days. and was badly de-
composed. Some time ago Hayes had been
employed as a sh~eepherder by Veasy Il
Mcdonnell of the American Fork, but
lately had been in the saloon business at
Aldridge. When he disappeared he was on
his way to Lewistown to collect some
money he said was due him there. Search
for him at that time proved fruitless. He
had evidently wandered into the brush
and persisted in the storm which swept
this section about that time. Some papers
and "a little money were found on his per-
son, but the papers will have to dry be-
fore they can be examined.

A Dog who Could Count.

Weir, jr., In May Lippincott's.
In the instance about to be given i
hin hat the dog evidenced an alb
stract idea of numbers, or else showed
phenomenal powers of observation and
discrimination. The animal in ques-
ton, a high-bred collie, received an in
jury a veal or so ago, through which
she became permanently n totally
blind. Recently she gave birth to a
litter of six puppies, all of which were
uniform i'm size and markings. Imme-
diately after the birth of the young
puppies. the dogs owner had mother
and young removed from the dark cell
lar in which they then were, and car
ried to a warm and well ventilated
room i'm his stable. In the darkness OF
the cellar one of the puppies was over
ooked and left behind. AS soon as
the mother entered the box in which
her young a been placed, she pro-
ceeded to examine them, nosing them
about and licking them. Suddenly she
appeared very much disturbed about
something; she jumped out or the box
and then jumped back again. nosing
the puppies as before. Again she
jumped from the O and then made
her way toward the cellar, followed by
her astonished n who had begun
to have an inkling as to What dis
turbed her. She had counted her
young ones, and had discovered that
one had been left behind. Sure enough,
the abandoned puppy was soon found
and carried in triumph to- he new
home. .
SO astonished was the gentleman at
his blind creatures intelligence n a
he resolved to experiment further. he
removed another puppy and held IL In
his arms. 1t was not long before the
blind mother showed her distress so
plainly that her lost young one was re-
stored to her, whereupon she lay down
in the box and gave up to the chief
function of maternity, sucking her
