 Experience of Man Who Had Several
 Growing Girls.
 ''It is quite interesting to be the fa- ther of several growing girls, " said one of group of family men in the smoker of suburban car
 Yes, answered another one, with shrug of his shoulders, especially when they all want new gowns at the same time.
 'I wasn't thinking of that. said the first speaker, but of way they have of taking the wind out of your own sails. It never occurred to me until the other morning that it was not to see me that young fellows kept dropping in to play cards and make themselves agree able. I tumbled at last, but it was my hunting dog Jack that opened my eyes.
 Your hunting dog?" echoed the crowd.
 Yes. had heard of nearly every kind of plan for the communication of lovers except dog. In this case Jack became Cupid's messenger. Those boys borrowed the dog ostensibly to go hunting, but have learned since that they didn't know gun from hoe ham, dle. They tied Jack up overnight, and as soon as he got out in the morning he made bee line for home. If I hadn't seen the corner of a paper sticking from under his collar I should never have suspected the eagerness with which these girls tried to head him off from me.
 "He had letter for them?"
 'No, just note asking the privilege of seeing dear Miss Kate or Miss Sue in the park for walk and a chat. Nice idea, employing the dog of the family in olandestine correspondenceI an- swered that note myself, and the two girls haven't spoken to me since. Jack is tied up, and I'm watching the cat now, for I have no doubt they'l Il find way to oircumvent ma. '' - Chicago

A HOT TIME.
Two Fires do Much Damage Last Night-High Wind Made Difficult to Protect
 Property

The fire department was called out twice last night.
 The first call was about 12 o'clock from the little grocery store of F. H. Lee & Co.,, on the corner of Second and Cherry. The store was small and the fire we'll under headway when discovered. The stock and building were practically a total loss. The stock was insured for $500. The building was owned by Ferd Havis.
Semi=weekly graphic., 1898-04-16

The second fire occurred at 2:30 this morning and was more serious. This fire caused the total destruc- ton of the old Portis place on south Cherry street at the corner of 14th avenue. The residence was occupied by Mir. J. G. Smith. The fire was well under way when discovered and the occupants barely had time to escape from the burning building, several of the children putting on their clothes after leaving the house. The house has stood there for many years and was an old land mark. It's dry walls made light kindling for the flames and the house was destroyed before the fire department could reach the scene of the confia- grafton. The high wind made it very difficult to protect adjoining property. Burning shingles were blown against houses a block away. The residence of MT. Joseph Altneim- er block further down and on the opposite side of the street, was several times set on fire by the flying shingles. The residence back of him also caught fire. A great many of the trees in the neighborhood were set fire. MT. Smith saved only a few articles of clothing and furniture. The residence was the property of MT. J. A. Wallis, of Palarm, Ark .,and was insured with Tankersley, Roberts S5 Co. for $l ,500.
 MT. J. G. Smith had $1,00O insur- ance on his household goods in the Mills agency.

NEW REGIMETT FOR OUR STATE.
Steps to Form a Third Regiment of
Volunteers in West Virginia.

1t is learned from an unofficial
source that the state authorities will
soon take steps to form a third regi-
ment of volunteers This action may
be postposed until the Second reg.-
ment, now gathering at Camp At
kinson, near Charleston, is mustered
into the Federal Service, but it is
possible the initiatory steps will be
taken before the Seconds muster
ing in takes place.
The new regiment, it is said, will
be the states National Guard until
there is a third call for troops. The
advantage of this plan is that it
gives the state needed protection
from internal disturbances, and at
the same time takes away the con
siderable delay that was encounter
ed in mastering the First and Sec
ond regiments into the volunteer
service of the United States.

FIGHT SHY
Patent Rights are Delusion aud q
Snare-Let them alone.


1t seems, says the Wayne News,
like our people will never stop biting
at patent-right humbugs. Thous-
ands of dollars have been paid by citi-
zens of this county for state and
county rights on patents, and not one
has realized cent of profit from it,.
There is not one patent in thousanQ
that will sell when an agent goes a.
mong the people with it. The rights
on at least twenty different kinds of
churn power has been sold in this
county and there is not one of them
in use to-day. Every man who comes
along with new tangled machine can
sell the right without much trouble,
but the man who buys it cannot sell
a single machine. If you do not want
to be humbugged and cheated out of
your money, let patent rights alone.
If you never have any money until you
make it1out of a patent right, you
will always be poor Every dollar
that you put into patent right is a
dollar wasted. Look about you and
learn something about the sad expert
ence of your neighbors who have been
victimiZed.
This piece of advice is applicable to
a good many people in this county

A letter has been received here
from Captain Standiford who is with
the second regiment now at Charles

the regiment Among other things
he says that there has not been

in condition to go to the front They
are very much interested in the &C
counts of the fighting around Santi-
ago and are very anxious to get into
it and help their comrades who are
so busy fighting there
Few OF the companies remain to
be mustered and this part of the
work will soon be over The Fair
mont company is conceded to be the
best in camp and.the men are trying
very hard to get into the best condi-
ton as to drill and discipline. A
large number OF the men Of this
command are known here and their
condition and standing is very graft
flying to their friends here Pratt
the University catcher has joined
the company and is one of the cor
porals in it John Johnson and
Dwight Miller are sergeants in the
company and there are ndmber OF
University boys in it.
The officers and men are both in
terested in getting along the best
they can for all concerned and the
charms of soldier life are realized to
the full by them all. The heat has
been very great but the men are
standing up to it nobly. One of the
men had to fall out while the com
pany was being mustered in but
when his comrades raised their
hands to take the oath he stood up
and took it with the rest of them.
The regiment is anxious for orders
to move and is drilling hard to be in
condition to go when they are called
and in order that they may be
called as soon as possible.
