saved by q Dog.


The following story can be vouch-
safed for, and in recognition of the
timely action of the dog the Alliance
Assurance company, with which the
premises were insured, has awarded a
silver medal to Zulu, fully realizing his
sagacity in preventing what would 9th
erwise have been disastrous fire, with
considerable danger to the occupiers of
the house. Zulu, who sleeps in the base
ment of large house in fashionable
quarter of one of our largest cities, was
early one Sunday morning lately reused
by an outbreak of fire, which had ap-
parently been smoldering for some time
between the floor of the dining room
and ceiling of the room below. He, aft
er repeatedly scratching at the bedroom
door Of one of the servants, succeeded
in waking her. Thinking the dog must
be unwell, she let him into her room
and got into bed again, but was not al
lowed to sleep, as Zulu, sitting close by
her bedside, kept talking to her Gas

suspected something must be wrong
On getting up the dog appeared SO
delighted that she followed him out of
the room, and on looking into one Of
the rooms discovered the ceiling burn
ing. Upon rousing the owner of the
house, who Immediately had the fire
alarm rung (Which was fortunately
close at hand), Zulu, seeming to know
he had done his duty, rushed up stairs
to his mistress and left the house with
the children, evidently satisfied that he
had fulfilled his part. On the fire bri-
gade's arrival it was found that the
fire had taken serious hold, and only
required more air (Which would have
been given in another ten minutes by
the collapse of the hearthstone, etc. to

Music Shops ON Ocean Liners.

From single venture five years ago
small shops for the sale of musical in
struments have become a regular thing
on the large liners that sail from Eng
land to India, Australia and the col
onies.
From the beginning the music shop
was quite a success. Perhaps most of its
trade runs in the direction Of cheap
banjos, which are bought by almost ev-
cry man on board before the voyage as
means of passing the time.
Valuable violins are often more easily
disposed Of at sea than on shore, while
even pianos meet with at least four OF
five customers each voyage, many peo-
pie disposing of their own instruments
before starting and being readily per-
suaded into buying others to avoid the
middleman on landing.
The seabound music shop agent usual
ly travels first class, and as he is gener-
ally possessed of gentlemanly manners
and glib tongue he meets with better
opportunities for pushing his wares than
he would get under ordinary ciroum-
stances. Globe.

Hopeless piscontent.

The gripman on cable car, having
slowed up for truck that could not get
off the track because of the heavy traffic
on his right side, began to stamp his
gong. The truckman looked over his
shoulder, and his mouth moved actively.
No one on the car could hear what he
said. But the gripman glanced at the
conductor and grinned. Then he rang
some more. When the driver turned
and worked his mouth again, the grip
man took up the cable and hit the truck
gentle bump. That seemed to infuriate
the driver. and he stood up, waved his
whip, and obviously he was talking
back. The gripman rammed his truck a
little harder. then quite hard, and again
he winked at the conductor.
"There's fun in every business, - said
passenger on the rear platform to the
conductor.
"There is in all but mine.
Then he sprang from the platform
and ran to the aid of the gripman, who
was being thrashed by the driver He
and a policeman saved the gripnan s
other eye.-New York Commercial Ad-
Vertjser.

The Determined Woman Wanted Him to
Find Her Nephew.
She had a look of determination in
her face as she stood on the corner Of
Main and Court streets in Auburn and
signaled for an electric car.
The car stopped and the woman adj
vanced to the steps.
"Where be you goin?" said she.
Figure g." said the conductor.
"Eh"
Figure s. :"
"Ate what?' said she. "Who said
anything about eatin? Be you goin past
my nephew James Strout's house?"
Dunno, said the conductor. IAN
aboard.
"You hol' on, young man, /" said the
woman. Don't you get excited. Don't
you know Jim Strout? He lives on Ru-
raj avenue, and he's expectin me today"
I'VE go College street, said the con-
ductor.
In the meantime the motorman was
stamping on the gong and passengers
were getting interested.
HAll aboard, " was the courteous sug-
gestion of the conductor. "If you are
going with me, madam, get aboard. We
don't keep directory and we don't sell
stamps, and am not acquainted with
James Strout of Rural avenue. but if
you want to ride around the figure 8,
all aboard
"Well, neverl" said the woman.
well, young man, there's one thing
you kin do. You can hold your horses
till / git my gripsack."
And they did, and the conductor
helped her aboard with it, and on Col
lege street, near Skinner, she saw a
family in team, and she gave yell
that shut off the electricity quicker than
a cat catches rat.
1t was her nephew.

A Clever Advertiser,

The Kansas City journal says: "a
flour merchant at Edgar let the. story
get out that while he was STOPPING over
his -four bin $3.50 diamond ring had
slipped off his finger into the -four. He
appeared to be greatly exercised over the
loss, got notice in the local paper, but
finally announced with sigh that he
would have to give it up; that the ring
was in the -four somewhere; that he
supposed it would turn up in sack Of
-four, but he had no idea what one.
Well, you ought to have seen the boom
that guileless man had in the -four
trade. For the next week he had to hire
extra help to fill sacks out of that bin.
One man who never bought sack from
him before came in and laid in win
ter's supply. And the smooth merchant
whistled softly as he filled the sacks and
winked his other eye.
