Bird Dogs Dissected.

Grafton Record: The bird dog
family is divided into two classes,
the pointer and setter. The pointer
,s a tall, short haired dog followed
by tail in all kinds Of weather. The
steady business of this dog is pros
pecting for chickens. He is lifted
into wagon early in the morning
and carried into the country, and
when promising place is struck he
is told to HE on. Ifhe is asleep or
tor some other reason does not chic, /"
he is given a boost that greatly as
sists him over the wagon wheel into
the tall grass. After he strikes the
ground he throws his head up in the
air and starts to run like a clock
oiled with butter. When he strikes
the scent his nose is worn on the
ground and his tail is worked like
a town pump handle on circus day.
.The dog has Chickens" says the
man who has borrowed No. 10 gun
and bought No. IL shells. "Sure
thing" says the man who owns the
dog, as he jumps over the hack
wheel with his gun in one hand and
some geese shells in the other. The
dog lifts up his head and starts on a
piece of blowing and gets up a
meadow lark and chases it into a
pasture. The barb wire fence catches
the dog by the ear and he hollers
like a steamboat fed on soft coal.
The dog gets back into the rig and
bleeds over the dressed up hunters
pants and shakes the blood over his
white shirt which has not been
vaccinated against dirt. The man
who owns the dog gets in with an
explanations. He says the meadow
lark smells like the prairie hen and
the best dog gets fooled on it. The
man with the ruined shirt dares to
inquire if the dog is blind or hasn't
been wire fence broke. The owner
Of the rig says he will get out of the
rig and shoot hawk. He stuffs the
gun full Of shells and blazes away
two barrels, the hawk swoops a
couple Of times and sails off better
then ever. Just then nine fine
chickens get up in front Of the horses
and the hawk shooter tries to get
shell inte his gun brass end first.
The chickens get away without a
shot being fired at them. One is
spotted down and the setter dog is
lifted out. This dog has long hair
and a tail like "a fly fan. He likes
to rollin mud puddles and dead OK
en-. After a proper roll he smells
like soap factory leaning against a.
glue mill. In this condition he is
not fit for the parlor carpet. The
setter runs around for while and
begins to dig for a gopher. He is
aeberrowed deg and gets kicked for
pains. The dogs starts over the hills
for home on dead run. About the
first thing he runs into is the lone
chicken and the man with the No 10
gun and small shells gets very busy
making arrangements to shoot. He
finds out where he has made mis-
take and makes terrible roar. Then
the party drive home by way of the
meat market and talk Of many things
by the way.

The Great Samoan Hurricane.

In the harbor at Apia were anchored
the United States steamers Trenton,
Vandalia and Nipsic, the British war
vessel Calliope, and the German men
of-war Olga, Adler and Eber, with
quite number of merchant vessels.
OF all these, the Calliope was the only
one to~escape uninjured, and she was
saved only by her powerful engines,
which enabled her, when she 'slipped
her, cables,' as desperate resort after
hanging for awhile in terrible suspense,
to slowly force her way out of. the har-
Dor into the open sea, in the teeth of
the gale, followed by the ringing
cheers of the Trenton's men. Even in
their dire extremity, with the gener-
osity characteristic of the sailor at all
times, they found time to applaud this
plucky attempt. : The Adler was cap
sized on the reef, and the little Eber
completely disappeared, only one, mas
young midshipman, being saved. OF
our own ships, the Trenton and VAN
dalia were sunk, and the gallant cap
tain of the latter and As men and Off
GERS were lost AS the Inflated Van
dalia was forced on thescruel reefs, and

A Thrilling Experience.

K. B. Armour. prominent banker
and packer of Kansas City, arrived at
Duluth over the Eastern Minnesota
railroad. He was accomsanied by his
wife, daughter, and several others. A
few miles out the party met with a
thrilling experience and very serious
consequences were narrowly averted.
AS the train was approaching a bridge
at full speed, the engineer noticed the
structure was in flames. 1t was too
late to stop and he opened the throttle
and dashed through the fire. The
train passed safely over, but the rear
sank several inches in crossing the
bridge.

GLADSTONE q PARLIAMENT.


~ III - H5
Gladstone's manner il parliamentsis
thus described BY Henry W. Lucy, the
stenographer who took down nearly
every great speech the Grand Old Man
made for the last 20 years:
The particular occasion referred to
by Mr.. Lucy was. in 1873, when things
were going wrong. Thespremier came
in from behind the speakers chair
with hurried pace. AS usualwI1en, con-
templating the delivery of an impor-
tant speech, he had flower in dis but
ton-hole, and was dressed with I'M
usual care. striding swiftly past his
colleagues on the treasury bench, he
dropped into the seat kept vacant for
him. Then, turning with sudden
bound of his whole body to the right,
he entered into animated converse ton
with a colleague, his pale face work
ing with excitement, his eyes glisten-
ing and his right hand vehemently
beating the open palm of his left hand,
as if he were literally pulverizlng an
adversary. Tossing himself back with
equally rapid gesture, he lay passive
for the space of 80 seconds. Then,
with another swift movement of the
body, he turned to the colleague on
his left, dashed his hand into his side
pocket as if he had suddenly become
conscious of a live coal secreted there,
pulled out letter, opened it with
violent flick and earnestly discoursed
thereon.
Rising presently to answer a ques-
ton put to him as first lord of the
treasury, he instantly changed his
| whole bearing. His full. rich voice was
attuned to conversational tone. The
intense, eager restlessness Of manner
had disappeared. He spoke with ex-
ceeding elaboration, and with no other
gesture than slight outward wave
| of the right hand and a courteous
bending of the body in recognition of
| his interlocutor. No matter how per-
turbed his manner before rising, once
on his feet before the house, and his
self-command was master of his &C
tions; he became calm, dignifed, state
~. But, warming to his work, the
premier often proceeded through a
series of gymnastic exercises that
would have left an ordinary man of
half his years pale and breathless.
Sometimes with both hands raised
rigid above his head; often with left
elbow leaning on the table, and right
hand, with closed fist, shaken at the
head of some inoffensive country gen.
tleman on the back benches opposite;
anon standing half a step from the
table, with the left hand hanging at
his side and the right uplifted so that
he might with thumbnail lightly touch
the shining top of his head, he trampled
his way through the arguments of his
adversary as an elephant in an hour
of aggravation RACES through a
jungle. "-Chicago Chronicle.

COUNT MOURAVIEFF.
(Russia's Clever Minister of Foreign A.
fairS.)

tFuSSla 8 Clever Minister of FOREIGN AT.
fairS)
this capital, are bringing forward the
question of our future relations with
Great Britain, and on every hand we
are confronted with the inquiry:
Shall we help England?"
One of the oldest and ablest officials
ct the department of state this after
noon said to the writer: "Great Brit
ain fully understands that the govern
ment at Washington appreciates the
friendly attitude of the government at
London during our recent interna-
tional difficulties. But the government
AT London also understands that the
people of the United States will not
sanction any movement which would
be likely to involve US in needless con-
fiict with our always good friend, Rus
STA. Therefore it will be safe for news
paper writer's to predict that we shalt
not help England in any war which
might be caused by the ambitious de-
sires of British subjects to extend their
trade relations in China"
That seems to wisely epitomize the
entire subject, and to leave this coun-
try free from entangling alliances at
this time. SMITH D. FRY.

Cuban Courte.v.

The ever-present politeness Of the
Cuban is q perpetual wonder. An
American lady entered a shop on
Obispo street some time ago, and
asked for an article which the mer-
chant did not have in stock. IF the
sonora will permit me- will beg to
assist her in finding it, . said the oblig-
ing shopman. He thereupon closed
and locked his store and accompanied
the stranger to shop after shop, until
she had been supplied. The Cuban then
simply bowed and bade her = dios!s
toreturnagain to his place Of business
content in the thought that he had
rendered only the kindly duty which
q true Cuban holds always hil due
toward others. Edward Page CASTOR,

President Woodruff Funeral,

Salt Lake City, Sept. 9.-The funeral
of President Woodruff, of the Nor
mon church, took place Thursday in
the tabernacle. President George @.
Cannon presided. Joseph F.. Smith
spoke and was followed by number Of
high officials of the church. Thou
, sands were unable to get inside the
tabernacle and remained in the yard
and adjoining streets. The procession
to the cemetery included national
guards, city, county and state officials
and educational and church societies
of the city. There were six pail bear
ers, all grandsons of the deceased.

and, in the presence OF g1artng mill
lions, he could communicate with the
car and form an alliance which would
be beneficial to Russia, and at the same
time give to China q military force
which would prevent her dismember-
ment. And he did it.
Within the past month Great Brit
ain has discovered the fact that Rus
STA and China are dominating northern
Asia. and Great Britain may well be-
ware of the Indiaward progress of the
car. The partitioning Of China will
not Immediately occur. China is Civ
ing away few territorial fringes; that
is all. f.. +. III
Now the question is: 'Shan we help
EnglandY" The answer should be-,
that, since receiving the moral aid Of
Great Britain during the past year, we
should help England in every good and
laudable endeavor, because England
aided us in laudable endeavor. But
England has aided us in no interna.
tional folly; has aided us in no attempt
at national suicide; and, argal, Eng.
land has no right to expect this coun-
try to aid her in any direction which
might mean needless danger to our in
dividual and collective interests. II
it is deemed proper by British states
men to try conclusions in war with
China and Russia; to send armies and
navies against two nations having 7OO,-
100000 population-and that internal
tional folly may be committed by
England-it is her undivided privilege.
But England has no right to ask us to
close our eyes to the conditions which
obtain; has no right to ask US to as
sumo that China is sick man instead
of wonderful power, although abso-
lutely dormant, so far as the outside
world can see.
No; we shall not help England in any
folly. We have troubles enough of our
own. If England's chestnuts must be
pulled out of the fire she must find
some other victim than her Brother
Jonathan to reach for these chestnut4,
The people of our republic fearless
ly faced the dread problem of war, and
the plain people have borne the brunt
CT it with courage and heroism. The
administration at Washington is now
endeavoring to solve the perilous
problems of peace. The territorial ex-
pansion which grew out of the armed
conflict is causing our best and strong
est statesmen to pause and consider.
The form of government which shall
be given TO Puerto Rico and the Isle of
Pines, and what form Of government
shall be established and maintained for
the Philippines, must be determined.
What we shall do for Cuba, under our
pr otectorate, while endeavoring to
give the people a stable government,
requires the manifestation of perfect
craftsmanship and of lofty patriotism.
The president and his constitutional
advisers are giving to these problems
Of peace the attention and considera-
ton demanded by their gravity and
lasting Importance. Every cabinet
meeting is devoted to these subjects.
At such time as this our diplom tic
representatives and the diplomats OF
the civilized world who are located a.

Saved His Own Son

A serious accident occurred in rum
away at Winnebago City. Paul Regain,
assistant cashier of the Faribault
county bank, saw the runaway horse
dashing down the street and near by a
child in danger. He rushed for the
child, caught him to rescue him, but
was a second too late. The wheel of
the buggy struck the boys right side
just as he was being drawn aside and
broke his leg near the hip joint. Mr..
Reagan discovered that he had his own
5-year-old son in his hands. The boy
seems to have escaped other injuries.
Mr.! Reagan was struck by the vehicle
but not injured beyond slight bruises.
