AS the boat pulled away, the dog was
dragged after it by rope fastened
around her body behind the forepaws.
Half the time buried in the waves, it
seemed as if she would be dead before
the long half-mile was traverse1; but
she never whined, and now and then,
when she was at the surface, the cap
tain could see her paws working like
blades in paddlewheel to keep herself

At last the ships side was reached.
Just at that moment, however, the
rope slipped and the dog was adrift.

THREE GIRLS IN A BOAT.
Episode of u Sunday Excur~ion In
Chicago Park.

&nACaSO
The three girls were spending their Sun
day in Lincoln Park in. Chicago. Before
the afternoon, had worn half away all
other forms of amusement were getting
stale. and they rented a boat on the la
COON to finish up the days riotousness
When they hired the boat they forgot to
stipulate anything about the small boy
who usually is a part of the bargain.
The man in charge showed their httie
craft away from shore, and they were IN
the middle of the south lagoon almost
before they knew II.
They sat down To work. One took an
the other oar Then they began, each
working independently of the other. Their
course was about upon the lines laid down
by Dewey when he paraded up and down
in front of the Spanish feet at Manila
only 1t was not straight for any consecu-
tive five feet.
1t was only few minutes before they
had the center of the lagoon to them
selves, all the other boats steering far
away from the danger line. Once they
came near shore, and in her excitement
one of the young women unshipped an
oar But that did not appear to worry
her at all.
It was getting dark when a group of
young men stopped on shore and debated
swimming out to the rescue. But after a
short consultation the young men decided
to leave the girls to their fate.
The three were still rowing round and
round when darkness obscured their boat
from the shore. How they escaped no one
ever knew.

Italy's Political Riots.

The political riots in Italy create alarm by

suppressed the riots At considerable cost Of life.
The high price Of bread Is the grievance alleged.
and no doubt food prices and taxes are high
while wages are low. And there Is good reason
to be impatient Of the corrupt and inefficient gov
crnment. It does not follow. however, that the
anarchists. socialists and radicals who are now
making trouble. are men who would, II sue

clericslism, il is said, have finger m the pie.
The clercais wish to see the present anti-cerical

gime in Italy that will ally Italy with France
rather than with Austria and Germany.

story of . suburh.,. Train.
From the Chicago Post.)

(From the Chicago Post-)
The temperature of the car was about
1Os degrees, and even though she only wore
a light Spring Jacket she felt it. Further
more. she was young woman Of some
common sense and knew tina. there is no
better way to catch cold than TO sudden
ly emerge into the fresh air from a car in
which one has been parboiled. In addi-
ton to all this, there is something about
the atmosphere of an overheated car that
makes one regret living. Aside from the
heat, it is not fit to breathe. The first
thing the sensible young woman did was
to unbutton her jacket and throw it open
in the hope of getting little relief. But
that didn't do her much good Clothes
of any description are uncomfortable in
a Turkish bath. and, besides. she still had
to breathe the air of the car. Conse-
quently she opened the window next to
her about two or three inches and put
her head down close to 1t to get Whit
of comparatively fresh and cool air. 1t
was very refreshing. but 1t was well that
she made the most of it while it lasted.
Madam" said the conductor, "I'll have
to ask you to put down that window. 1t
makes a draft
While the conductor was putting down
the window she looked around and saw a
fat man in the seat behind her glaring at
her fiercely. She was in no further doubt
as whence the protest came.
She promptly moved to seat near the
door, where she could at least get little
air when the door was opened at the sta
tons, and pretty soon a young man. who
either noticed her distress or had the same
sensible ideas in regard to the Overheating
of cars, got up and opened the little
screened window in the door. That didn't
do much good. but 1t was better than
nothing. However. the very first time the
conductor came through he closed it with
bang.
Then. in her desperation, the young
woman got upt and. went out on the plat
form. and a minute later the conductor
touched her on the arm.
Madam he,said. you can't stand out
here" a
She regretfully went inside. Then she
beckoned to the conductor. and when he
had come to her she said:
''The man who, said that air was free.

did not prevent her from having sick
