DOG OWNERS IN A DILEMMA.
Washington Dogs Must Be Muzzled-
 Local Dealers Have No Muzzles.

Washington, Dee. 26.-Between Q proclamation issued several days ago by the district commissioners and present stringency in the local dog muzzle market, citizens of Washing ton who own pet dogs find themselves in a peculiar dilemma. By order of the commissioners no dog is to run in the streets who is not securely muzzled No Washington merchant has muzzles to sell, and a supply cannot be obtained before January 15. What worries the local dog owner is the disposition to be made of his dogs meanwhile

While in this condition he demanded

very properly refused to give it to him
while he was drunk, which so enraged
him that he kicked up tremendous

him out. He left the Home at once, and

the jugs mouth, the jug having been

blow a goat happened to get in it's path,

at ease in dealing with the intervals oc-

months in the year in order to keep his

morning are compelled to run their
wells through wringers that they
may obtain water for cooking purposes;

Another remarkable story is told of
a man who was driving over the divide
north of Dodge City, when a shower
came up. He was riding blackboard,
which has bottom made by fastening
.cleats between the aXles with spaces of
half an inch between the cleats. The
water fell SO fast that it could not run
through the bottom of the blackboard as
fast as it fell. Rushing down the side
of the divide the water struck a barbed
wire fence and damned up until the
water ran over the top wire of the
fence. This was because the rain came
SO fast that it couldn't get through be-
tween the wires Of the fence. On the

the truth of the story by showing the |
ridge where the blackboard stood during
the rain, and the place in the air where

winch has always stamped him as pos

has been his treatment of weather con-
ditions, especially our impusive zeph-

cernible in his work are that we are in
a chronic condition of cyclone, drouth or
pllzzard, variegated by invasions and
devastations of chinchbugs and grass
hoppers. In dealing with the former he
describes the wind which he SAYS blew
