Newfoundland "F1ags" Il Car Bearing
Down Upon a Little Girl.

But for an act of her pet Newfound-
land dog, Alice Pedro, years old, must
have been crushed to death under the
wheels of a Chicago trolley car. The
Alice was out walking-her usual Sun
day afternoon strickland was accompa-
mel by her big canine pet. Don. She was
crossing the Clark street electric tracks
at Sunnyside avenue when her foot
caught in the track and she fell. a troll
ley car was bowling along a few yards
distant. Don tried in every way to drag
the girl from her perilOus position. Her
dress tore i'll his teeth when he attempted
to pull her away. Leaving the girl on
the track, the dog bounded toward the
oncoming car. straight up the track. The
motorman saw the dog coming and at
first thought the animal mad. But Don
Kept coming and the motorman. when car
and dog were only short distance apart,
shut down the brakes, doing so just in
time to prevent running over the dog.
AS soon as he had accomplished his
purpose the dog turned and ran back to
where he had left his little mistress. The
car men and passengers saw then for the
first time what the dog had done, and
were running up to the spot when lictle
Alice. having recovered her senses,
rubbed her head in dazed sort of n way,
and patted Don, who was bounding about
her in frenzy of delight.
And the little girl and her big protector
went off home happy together.

CubanS Have Long Names.

The blanks for writing the names in
the Cuban census are twice as large rs
the blanks for the same purpose in this
country. This grows ont of the fact
that the Spanish names are usually about
twice as long as American ard English
names. In Spain it is the general Gus
tom to give a child the surname of his
father and of his mother. and this Gus
tom has been followed i'll Cuba for Il
great many years. The matter came up
the other day, when seven native Cuban
supervisors of the census about to be
taken on the island were in Washington
for consultation with American census
officials. The Cuban blanks had all been
prepared in advance. and as they looked
at the blanks one by one the Cubans
pronounced them all right until they
came to the one for the names of the in
habitants. when they objected. \ ques-
ton or two brought out the cause of the
objection. and so the government must
print new population blanks before the
work can begin.

north of CranmoOr, raised, this season,
on seventy acres. 2400 barrels of cram
berries, which are now gathered and in
his storehouse. and. if sold at present
prices. would bring about 1900, and as
the expenses of raising the 2400 barrels
would not exceed 5000. he will realize a
good profit. All other cranberry growers
i'll this district have done proportionately
well this season. Gaynor Bla elk Stone
