Sun weayes this romance of recent
dog show:
TO the Boston the show was Il happy

and were sad. They passed their time
cuddled up together and shiyering la
their cloth coats. They regarded the
attempts of the Boston 10 snin up an
acquaintance through the wlrework
netting with perfect Indifference, aud
his coaxing barks were treated with
curt contempt.
On the last afternoon Of the show the
owner took the Boston terrier out for
walk and permitted tue dog TO play
about the restaurant while he had
lunch. unpereeiyed by the owner
when the time came to return 10 the
show pen. the Boston jumped ON a
chair and took line turkey leg FROM
the plate.
Bearing the bone proudly. the dog
stuck close 10 the owner until the pen
was regained, when, instead OF waiting
TO be lifted 10 his place, the terrier
jumped into the pen OF the Manchester
terriers. They were, rs usual, huddled
together in u corner.
The Boston pushed in and left the
bone among the three; then with glad
bark be jumped to the ground and into
his own place. The bone acted like
tonic on the sick Alanchesters They
tore off the shreds OF meat with the
greatest animation, while the Boston
watched them at work and barked
loudly.
Now the exhibitor OF the Manchester
terriers strOlled up. At sight OF the
bone he acted as though some person
were trying to poison his dogs. aud
while the bystanders maintained dis
Greet silence. he seized the bone aud
threw IL behind the farthest benches.
But not one of the dogs cared. The
Manchesters had eaten their ill and
were lively for the first time. while the
Boston was thoroughly happy When
ever he wagged a tail there were three
tails wagged To answer him In the next

This Cass avenue resident knows
about as much OF horses as he does Of

few weeks ago he paid 500 for 500
horse and since that has looked upon
himself as an equine authority. Sun
day afternoon he was in the bay win

glared, dropped his paper and eye
glasses and dashed out as though he
were going TO pull tire alarm.

shouted. Haiti And all the PRONE

horse trotted along. Ten dollars TO

now too much excited to be lucid.
"That Internal liyeryman has hired
him out. and me paying the highest
price for his keep I'll show him! Ten
dollars, dead or alive" In Richard Ill
voice, for that horse."
A lusty bicycler grasped the situation
and two minutes later had caught the
bit OF the horse. The man in the buggy
protested, swore and threatened, but
the grinning wheelman trotted the
whole outfit back to the excited citizen.
"Unhitch him. he shouted. Some
body will pay big money for this. Call
patrol wagon. What's your nameY
Then the citizen turned pale and
gasped:
Three white feet. My horse has but
two, and he's smaller. My mistake,
gentlemen aud ladies'" for there was
crowd now. BEG pardon" And he
started for the house.
But the man In the buggy jumped up
and wanted to fight. The bicyclist de-
manded his $40. and the crowd jeered.
A policeman came in time 10 referee.
The wheelman got his $40, the real
owner OF the horse accepted humble
apology, and the lyeryman raised the
board the next day.-Detroit Free

the EVENING STAR.


Wken sunset light
Gives place to night
On mountain tops Afar,
With light more SOFT,
In heaven aloft
Appears the evening star -
Its beauty seems, ~
As high it CLEANS,
To lull the heart to rest
We mourn the day,
But gladly say
We love the starlight best.
When grieved in heart,
Though It's our part
To know more night than DAY
The star VI hope
Forbids US NOPE,
And cheers with soothing ray

PROSPEROUS TIMES
Indicated by the Largest Tax Col
lection Ever Made in
Wood County.

Auditor Gaghan gives the following
figures Of the December tax collection:
The total collection amounted to
$299, ,05S,79, OF this, 37,09l.O4 goes to
the state; $3O,O4O.S8 to the county;
S522i.5S to the infrmary and poor
fund; 2S,2l2,2l TO the bridge fund;
$50, ,S97.g7 to the court house fund; and
S26l2.S4 to the soldiers relief fund.
Although the tax duplicate is lower
this year than it has been for some
time the collections are higher. This
is accounted for by the fact that, owing
to the increased prosperity, the farm
ers have been able to pay up much Of
the delinquent taxes and also the for
feited land sale, making one of the
largest collections in the history of the
county.-Sentinel.

Mcknight In Trouble.

Hiram p. Mcknight the lawyer who
made things interesting while in the
o. p. has had charges preferred against
him, which if sustained will probably
disbar him. The Columbus State Jour
nal says:
Proceedings were brought some days
ago to set aside mortgage, when it
was discovered that the instrument
had been altered. 1t is said that the
alteration was made by Mcknight.
The judges of the common pleas
court held meeting Monday after
noon. Charges were formally preferred
against the attorney at the meeting by
Attorney Marrow, and were reinforced
by Attorney E. L. Taylor, Jr., who, it
is said, has a copy of the mortgage be-
fore 1t was altered. The charges were
received by the judges, but no action
will be taken until some future meet
ing.
Charges were preferred against Nc,
Knight some time ago, when it was
said that he defrauded man at Grove
City out of some land. The matter
was investigated hy the judges, who
found that he had made a deal with
the Grove City man, but had not done
SO as an attorney, therefore they tool
no action.

The Sixth regiment has had consid-
cradle experience that is not very in
teresting. They have had a tussel with
a cyclone, which tore up their camp
and tossed tents and occupants in the
air. A giant nalm fell across Col. Nc
MaKins door, and the hospital patients
we're exposed to wind and ram. AS
soon as possible the regiments will be
ouartered in barracks which will afford
better protection from storms.
