The Dog Under the Wagon.


"Come, wife," said good old Farmer Gray,
"Put on your things, It's market day,
And we'll be off to the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes down.
"Spot? No, we'll leave old Spot behind"
But Spot he parked and Spot he whined,
And soon made up his doggish mind
TO follow under the wagon.
Away they went at good round pace,
And Joy came into the farmers face,
Poor Spot" said he, ''did want to come,
But I'm awful glad he's left at home,
He'll guard the barn, and guard the cot,
And keep the cattle out Of the lot"
''I'm not so sure of that" thought Spot,
The dog under the wagon.
The farmer all his produce sold
And got his pay in yellow gold:
Home through the lonely forest. Hark!
A robber springs from behind tree;
''Your money or else your life" says he,
The moon was up, but he didn't see
The dog under the wagon.
Spot ne'er parked and Spot ne'er whined;
But quickly caught the thief behind;
He dragged him down in the mire and
dirt,
And tore his coat and tore his shirt,
Then held him fast on the miry ground;
The robber uttered not a sound
While his hands and feet the farmer
bound.
And tumbled him into the wagon.
So Spot he saved the farmers life,
The farmers money the farmers wife,
And now Il hero grand and gay,
A silver collar he wears to-day.
Among his friends, among his foes
And everywhere his master goes
He follows on his horny toes,
The dog under the wagon.
The Advance.

BOGUS FREIGHT ORDERS.
Boston g. Maine Railroad Sends Warming
About Advance Payments.


A man making the use of shipping or.
ders of railroad has been obtaining
money by false pretences for the past
three months. He has operated in Som
erville, Lynn, Charlestown, Roxbury and
Boston proper. Men and women have
paid charges oil freight that have never
existed save in imagination, the sums
ranging from So. 10 to Sl7.
The Boston & Maine corporation warns
the public to be on guard. No bills fol
the transportation of freight are presented
80 any person unless the goods tareSdeliv'
cred.
This man is described ns short, thick
set with a dark mustache curled up at
the ends. The estimates. of his age vary
but it would appear that he Is about 10.
He las worn different suits of clothing,
sometimes light suit with a black hat,
at other times being attired in what
seemed to be the uniform of railroad
brake man.
The mans method of operation is as
follows: He enters a house or place of
business and says that he comes from
the freight department. of the Boston &
Maine. He says that boxes Of maple
syrup or barrels of apples have arrived
at the freight house on which there are
charges of so much, and asks that the
amount be paid. He exhibits a shipping
order printed with the words "Boston
& Maine," in large type. Such orders
in blank are furnished to merchants to fill
out when they ship the goods. They are
not bills for collection.
The man in some instances has taken a
SIS bill to be changed and has never re-
turned.
One woman sent her little girl with
him to change hill and as soon as the
house was out Of sight he induced the
child to hand over the money and disap-
peared
The Boston & Maine corporation send
no men to make collections in any such
manner. If box of butter or any thing
else really comes over the road by freight
the person is notified by mail of that fact
in the ordinary manner. The truckman
sent to get the goods usually pays the
charges at the railroad end.
1t is not improbable that the swindler
will be found operating in this vicinity
as his present field becomes too hot for
him,

Rural Free Delivery.

With the additional 100000 placed
at his command by the postotfice ap-
propris tiun bill, Postmaster General
Gary hopes TO make great showing
in the ex' eu>ion of the rural free msi
delivery during the PR sent year.
Experimental routes have recently
bee put in operation in New Jersey
and ca tern Penn sylvania and it is
estimated by the department that in
the neig hborhood of 1000 people WI o
formerly had to travel cOnsidera BILE
d stance to postOffices to get their ms il
uOw receive it either at their homes
or at some nearby church or school
house. lPlans a now being consider
ed for establish ng similar expert
mental delivery routes in sections of
Indiana, Ohio, Michigan. Illinois,
Wisconsin and in sevt raj OF the
southern states. The first move in
this dire tion will be to send an inspec-
tor of the department to examine
and decide upon those portions of the
states named where the roads are of
good material and the country thick
ly populated and where there are a
sufficient number of churches, district
schools and industrial establish ments
located where the mail may be easily
left and called for. With fair ap-
preparations the postmaster general
is of the opinion that within five years
the department wi be supply Jog free
delivery to 10, 600, 900 who do not now
enjoy it.
