annoying than dog that keeps up gen.
eral howl OF night The people cannot
sleep and nine times out of ten the dog Is
worthless one. kysse. saeeta awhile a

the odor Of things is9hsk kasiSx xborhood for
time is not very pssassne sFhen there is
tho new arrival cur that keeps people
awake at nights by his bowling at the
man in the moon. His curship labors un-
der the impression that ho is monarch OF
all he surveys and that tae man In the
moon must vacate his quarters as did the
polished lap dog when he vacated his box
to allow the obnoxious yellow cur to as
sumo his quarters But 1t would be waste
OF powder and annoying to the neighbors
to shoot barking cur. So where such
cur exists it is best to let him upset the
garbage rscsptacles snatch his bone and
bark at the moon if he SO desires. Char
acter even in dog is something to be
proud of in New Castle.

ard started to go with their friends when
Miss Voshell slipped on a piling upon

has an ugly scar as If struck by something
and she states that she felt something hit
her face as she arose toward tho surface.
Charles Wallace then arrived and went
into the water after the women and In the
meantime the sail boat which had been
moored along the jetty was rowed to the
spot by Alexander Durr and tho women
were caught and placed in the boat.

returned to camp and after packing up
returned to Philadelphia.
