haved and a favorite with prisoners
and officials as well.
the heels of the party he goes, never
leaving the visitors for minute. There
is no barking, no running. He marches
along as dignified as an English butler
showing the treasures OF an English
castle.
On the second floor the black and the
white prisoners have different corri-
dors. OF course they associate togeth-
er just as much as they please, but if
one of the colored men is in the apart
nents set apart for the white prison
ers and the keeper says: run him
back, Raggs, the little fellow makes
for the intruder, and without bark
or any evidence of excitement drives
the man back to his own department.
Of course, if the prisoner resisted, Rags
could do nothing. But uniformly they
encourage Rags and go back in haste.
Then he trots back to the keeper with
his little short tail wagging, to show
| how well he discharged the duty placed
| upon him. When the visitors stop for
a minute or two Rags curls up and
waits for the procession to move. He
enjoys visitors, and takes pains to
show off before them. just as some
children try to show off in the presence
of company. But he does it all in a
businesslike way, and not with any ap,
parent air of smartness. - Cincinnati

Rags is the Jail dog. For something
like five or six years he has made his
home in the bastile of Hamilton coun-
ty. Just how he happened to come
there is not known, but it is sure that
he was not arrested for disorderly con-
duct, or even for stealing bone, for a
dog, you know, cannot be arrested. 1t
is punished in other ways. But how
ever he came there matters not. He is
in the Jail, and very well contented to
He is a wire-haired terrier, Scotch or
Irish evidently, and looks quite as well
as dogs that cost SIS or $50, even when
they are pups. But Rags puts on no
airs and boasts no pedigree. If he
could speak he would say that he was
simply dog, and dog that knows and
minds his own business.
AS to some of his tricks: If visitors
go to the Jail and are shown through
by one of the keepers, Raggs takes a
hand in the exhibition tour. Close al

Good Rabbit story Which Comes
All the Way from England.
A correspondent of the London Spec
tator says: 1t is not often worth the
trouble to write the biography of a
common rabbit, but our Jack" is an
exception to the rule. He bought
him from poulterer at the door one
day for Cd, so we knew nothing about
his antecedents. He grew into huge
brown creature, and might easily have
been taken for hare. One of his ears
was Topped, which gave him a quizzical
look which made us often think he
was laughing at us. AS time went on
he developed q sense of humor seldom
met with among animals. The garden
gate was generally kept locked for his
benefit, but one day, as i'll luck would
have it, it was left open, and huge
dandy dinmont, watching his oppor-
tunity, ran in and caught Jack by the
leg before he knew what was happen
ing. One wall of pain, and he fell down
ward apparently stone dead. The wall
brought out his young mistress, who
carefully carried her pet into the house
in her apron, and laid him tenderly in
the terriers basket.
"How / wish 1 were a DOCTOR" she
said, "and could set Jacks leg!"
Her little brother, hearing this, ran
off, without a word to anyone, to fetch
young doctor he knew little-a

of years. Arithmetics were also changed
both primary and practical. and
Whites primary, and Whites New

On His Mettle.

DR.. Goodfellow, who is chief of the
surgeons attached to the army under
General Shafter, has made quite a re-
putation during his military career on
The Island of Cuba, more particularly
before Santiago. The doctor is Il Tue
sonian, hence his movements are
watched more particularly by our peo-
pie and the people of this county gen.
orally.
Professionally DR.. Goodfellow has a
high reputation. The incident at Caney
was little out of the ordinary routine,
but it was just like Goodfellow to act as
he did. This is the story in brief:
The Cubans, these noble and brave
men of whom you have read, showed
their true character at Caney. When
food was being given to the starving
refugees from Santiago, they pushed in
great crowds of them, thrusting weak
women aside and grabbing the rations.
DIR. GOodfellow, wounded in the left
hand in the battle, saw one of these
greedy loafers snatching food from 4
starving woman and stopped him. The
Cuban grew angry, whereat the doctor
punched his face Then the Cuban
wanted to shoot, so DIR. Goodfellow
punched him some more and kicked
him out of the crowd. He then notified
the Cubans that any further depreda-
tions would be punished by Il firing
squad of soldiers. After that the Gu
bans stayed away. The lazy loafers
watched the refugees gathering cocoa
nuts and mangoes and then robbed
them-Tucson Star.

Death is said to be due to the water

Geo. Cumine, an employe at the ranch,

The body was, however. so badly de-
composed that it was impracticable to

Gabriel was Prussian- by birth, but
had long been resident of this coun-
try. F'pr years he lived in Florence and
was repeatedly elected sheriff of Pinal
county. He was a bold and fearless
man, good man, good officer and his
death removes one more of the old
fighting frontier landmarks. His bat
ties with the lawless have been many
and desperate. He has been shot often
enough to kill a half-dozen men. In
his famons encounter with Joe Ply he
was shot through theskldneys, and this

Havana, as well as their duty in defend
ing Spanish interests. The defenses
around the city have been strengthened.
While some OF the many batteries ana
forts are antiQuated defenses in their en-
tlrety they are not to be despised. BY
great efforts enough material has been
procured to make them OF utility. Am
munitlon Is no longer lacking Should
the point be raised where those forts and
batteries are to be tested It would be a
question OF persons rather than OF ma
terials
The officials are more apprehensive OF
MatanEas than OF other ports. The mill
tary governor there has been in consulta-
tion with General Blanco but Matanzas
is exposed to invasion and hostile troops
could be landed with little opposition.
Consul-General Lee has received no hint
from Washington to arrange for Ameri-
cans to leave Havana or prepare for his
own departure, The Fern is in the har-
hor, steam up and two or three tug boats
are available in case of emergency, How
ever no immediate emergency is antici-
pated and Americans are not apprehen-
sive Of their personal safety. The con-
suls in the different parts OF the island
do not report danger. While the loyal
Spanish feeling is high It has not yet
taken the form Of demonstration against
individuals The Havana people think
they find some bad symptoms among the
ignorant, but they are warned in time and
declare they have taken necessary pre-
cautions, The guard around the Ameri-
can consulate has been again increased
and General Lees movements are guarded
by special detail of police, but without
offensive interference The action of the
Florida state authorities In compliance
with the treasury departments orders
advancing quarantine one month. works
a great hardship to persons wanting to
leave the island.
From the standpoint of health there is
no justification for it. yellow fever has
practically died out and no danger of
carrying Contagion exists, The federal
authorities are apparently doing nothing
to modify the regulations which are put
in effect by direction of the treasury de-
partment, The political situation has no
bearing on the situation, The autonomist
has probably fulfilled its last function In
approving the plea made by Galvez to
President Mckinley against intervention
unless It be to uphold Spanish sovereignty
under the guise Of autonomy, That docu-
ment was meant for reading outside OF
Cuba Here the conditions are SO welt
known 1t exerts rldicule among the sup
