A Matter of a WOIf-DOg.
Also Question Of Business Ethics
Between Brothers.
HNNY Uucle shiftlock Pettibone,"

hNTY Uucle Shiftlock Pettibone,"
IN said the man from over Slime
mahoning way, was prone to be a
stickler for technicalities. But then he
was a horse trader, and dicllered some
in sheep pelts, and handled patent
rights; so | suppose he had to rely lit
tie on technical points, and run 'em to
the front as a matter of self-protec-
ton. But it always seemed to me that
he carried the principle tritie beyond
The limit when he insisted on applying
it in the most radical manner, to
transaction between himself and my
remarkable father, Reuben Pettibone,
a transaction thar involved the stand
ing and character of dog Uncle Shift
lock sold to Reuben Pettibone, once
upon time, Reuben being Uncle Shift
locks brother, and they twins, at that.
Still, as my remarkable father never,
took that view of it, but rather held it
up as a shining evidence of how smart
Uncle Shiftlocll was, and how uncom-
promising he was when it came to
matter of testing that business princi-
pie of his, even in dealing with his be-
loved brother, Reuben, l don't see why
/ should criticise Uncle Shiftlock adj
versely at this late day. Reuben Pet
tibone was wont to dOte on the telling
of that transaction, showing how
soaked with brotherly Kindness he was;
how full to running over he was with
brothcrly love. If brother of mine
should do me up to the tune of $3.50,
fear l could not sit down and gloat over
the telling of how he did it. I fear,
rather, that I would be tempted to
punch his head. Which only shows
again how remarkable my father, Reu-
ben, really was.
CAS- I have heard my father tell it, he
was bothered tremendously by wolves
at his clearing one season in the early
days of the old Sinnemahone, and, do
all he could, they were so willy that he
couldn't coax any of 'em to get into his
traps, and so cunning that he couldn't
get near enough to shoot any of en-
all of which was particularly distress
ing to him, because there was bounty
of SO a scalp on wolves. So ne looked
around to find some one who had a
good wolf dog that he could buy, in
tending to run the shy and pestiferous
creatures down and gather in a crop Of
pelts. Uncle Shiftlock Pettibone had
been on a dickering tour and got back
home just about the time my remark
able father was inquiring around for a
wolf dog. He heard about it, and one
day he appeared his Brother Reuben's
clearing, fetching a dog with him.
"'Got a wolf dog yet, Reuben? said
he
"'No,' replied father. Wolf dogs are
scarcer than elephants
"'Not quite said Uncle Shiftlock.
I've got one here that / can let YOU
have. Traded a township right i'm a
patent hog ringer for It. This deg will
surprise you, Reuben. Just let This dog

tusslcs 'em. just let him hunt wolves
oncel All 1 want for him is $3.50
"Reuben pettibone bought the dog
at once and went to bed happy that
night, because he felt sure that he
would now soon show those wolves a
thing or two, and soon depopulate the
Sinnemahcning country of 'em. That
night was a nice, frosty, moonlight
night, late in October There wasn't
anybody home but my remarkable
father. Fact of the matter is, strictly
speaking, my remarkable father wasn't
home. either, for he hadn't fallen to
that distinction yet, this being some
years before l was born. But Reuben
Pettibone was home, the rest of the
folks having gone visiting. lie left the
new wolf dog outdoors to kind o get
the hang o. the premises.
Along about ten clock Reuben Pet
tibone was awakened by the all-tiredest
commotion outside, he said, that he had
ever heard. 1t was a moving commo-
ton. and it seemed to have irregular or
bit. with the house as its center. My
subsequent father jumped out of bed
and ran to a window. The moon was
shining bright. Reuben Pettibone had
hardly got to the window when he saw
his new wolf dog go tearing by, going
like a steam engine, and two or three
Jumps behind him were two big wolves.
They were after the dog dead set, and
he was doing his best to keep 'em from
getting any nearer to him. The wolves
were swapping their jaws and snarling,
and the dog was ki-yi-ing as if some
one was dressing him out with club.
| The chase was round and round the
house, and the circuit was made so
quickly every time that it seemed to
Reuben as if the procession had scarce
ly got by the window before it was
| heading for it again. 1t went by five
times before he recovered from his sur
prise sufficiently to do much thinking.
When he got in shape to think at last,
he said to himself;
80 don't know much about wolf dogs,
but seems to me this one isn't acting
as if was going to fall very heavily
on its neck with joy. Can it be that
Brother Shiftlock has been cruelty de-
ceived in that dicker of his?'
whether Uncle Shiftlock had been
deceived or not, Reuben Pettibone
could see, even by the transitory
glimpses he got of the dog and the
wolves as they flashed by the window
that the chunk of moonlight between
The dog and the wolves grew smaller al
every circuit
THAT dog may know his business,
remarked Reuben Pettibone, and may
be interfering where I'm not wanted
but the way it looks to me is that unless
something is done pretty quick that lit
tie three dollars and four shillings 1 in
vested in dog will be sunk in wolves
$50 he ran to the corner where ht
kept his gun, got it, and hurried to the
door. He opened the door few inches
His intention was to shove the gun bar

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.
From the Republican. Scranton, Pa.

The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack Of

WHAT WILL THE BOARD Dor

The approaching city election, par
ticularly the mayoralty contest, has
not by any means been overlooked by
the board of trade. Since John NJ.

effect that Scranton's next mayor
should be a man and not mouse, the
members have discussed the matter
generally. The result Is a long and
carefully prepared report which the
committee on legislation and taxes
will present at next Monday nights

"A paragraph in Mr.. Kemmerer's let.
ter was as follows: I'VE must elect
a mayor out of politics. without ex-
pense Uhe salary belongs to him for
his scrviCes) and without promises
This is not politics but business"
There is no indication that the board
is a unit on the non-partisan propo-
sition though that element predomi-
nates-for there are i'm the board too
many stalwarts. Democratic and Re
publican, for that. but the sentiment
is so strong for cleaner city govern
ment and municipal reform that the
board is bound to take some radical
action.
In connection with the mayoralty the
report will contain some interesting
statistics and comment on election
contests and their cost in Lackawanna
county. For obvious reasons, pcrmis-
sion to reveal the contents Of the re-
port was denied The Tribune. one Of
whose reporters examined it yesterday,
but it can be correctly stated that it's
contents will cause lively discussion.
