CAPTAIN sIGSBEE'S DOG.
The Brave Commanders Wife Tells oi
the Franks of Peggie,
sMaine- Survivor.

You have heard of Peggie, the pug
dog on the United States battleship
Maine when she was blown up. Peggy
is now at Key West. She is a pretty lit
tie dog. She was tiny puppy when
first given to the captain of the Maine,
a little more than a year ago, and was
very full Of fun and mischief. She al
ways slept, in the cabin, and amused
herself by worrying" any shoes she
found, and dragging about anything
she could, as most puppies do. She al
ways followed the captain everywhere,
no matter how many steps and ladders
were to be climbed. This caused her TO
break her leg one day. The leg was put
in splints; but Peggie could not keep
still enough to have it knit properly, so
when she was well this leg was little
shorter than the others.
Peggie was very fond of rushing at
the waste paper basket and dragging
out the contents. She would whine and
cry in q verT funny way when she could

WORTHLESS wRITE-Up.
The illustrated World, of Kar

The illustrated World, Of Kan
sas City, in its December number
publishes what purports to be a
write-up of this town, but its mis-
statements are so numerous and SO
glaring as to give it the appearance
of a lot of worthless rot, which 1t
undoubtedly is. The very first
statement is misleading and un-
true, viz: "Vinita is the largest
town in the territory and the cap
ital of the Cherokee nation" /" We
are not informed as to whether the
"Illustrated World" got any
money out of any one in Vinita
for this ridiculous screed or not,
but it is neither creditable to Vi
nita nor profitable as an advertise
ment to single individual in the
place. This emphasizes the fact
that the home press of most any
town can do more for it than any
outside concern that ever comes
along. In the first place an out
side man does not know anything
about the matters upon which he
is to attempt to write, save what
some one tells him, and is apt to
color too highly that which he at
tempts to describe. There are at
least two papers printed in Vinita
that are worth more to the town
any week in the year than the
best foreign write-up that can be
had. As a general proposition
what the home papers cannot do
for a town cannot be done by an
outside publication. We do not
recall single advertising scheme
from abroad that has not proved
to be fake, from the bill board to
the illustrated newspaper or mag
azine article.

NOT ret them out She regarded with
great suspicion any yonei in civilian dress
coming ON board the Maine, and barked
at all who were not In uniform. She
could turn somersault II you held her
head down second.
One day she came into the cabin with
a chicken bone sticking out of one side
of her mouth, and a pretty nasturtium
blossom in the other side. She looked
so cute that wish l had the picture to
show you. One ear stuck up and the
other lay down, giving her very COM
ical expression. She knew just what
she wanted to do. Laying the flower
carefully down in one corner, she took
the bone into another and proceeded to
eat it. After the bone had been dis
posed of she took the flower in her
mouth again, and finally left it at the
captains feet.
Once she was taken driving at Key
West, and while the carriage was in mo-
ton she jumped out of the vehicle on
one side and into it on the other, until
the person she was with feared she
would break all her legs. Afterward
she thought the horses tails were
meant especially for her to play with;
so over the dashboard to bite the tails,
and down under the horses feet, she
went. But she was not hurt, and soon
sprang into the carriage again.-Mrs.
Charles D. Sigsbee, in St. Nicholas.
