privation on the western plains.

A few afternoons ago tall young
woman. very smartly arrayed. and with
an uncommonly large and varied as
sortment Of blinking ohatelaine articles
attached to an amethyst-encrusted gle
belt, strolled down uptown Seventeenth
street, closely followed BY tiny. shiv-
ering. Bringing chihuahua dog. The
dog was collarlsss. but wore belt har-
ness trimmed with cerise ribbon. He
did not permit himself to be left more
than two feet to the rear Of his mis-
tress' heels.
At one Of the corners there was .
sudden rattle. and Gagged wagon drew
up alongside the curb at the point
where the young woman and her dog
were walking. A big. black dog catcher
sprang from tho rear of the Gagged
wagon, and in trifie less than no time
the pampered little Mexican dog was
whimperingly struggling in the meshcs
of the dog catcher's net. The dog CATCH
ers transferred the whining brute from
the net to the wagon. where lot OF
large, coarse, common dogs were al
ready sullenly established.
The young woman owner OF the cap
tured chihuahua viewed the proceed
ings with al the GOODNESS in life. She
adjusted her eyeglasses carefully and
looked the dog catcher over from head
to foot. Then she examined the pie
beian dogs in the wagon. The dog
catcher didn't know what to make Of
her conduct. He expected her to be-
come hysterical and to frantically de-
mand the return of her pet. But there
didn't appear to be any hysteric in her.
She walked up to the dog catcher.
what do you think you are going to
do with that dog Of mine?" she inquired
of him, in the most matter-of-fact tone
imaginable.
"Ah's dun swiped him. miss, 'co'din'

what for?" asked the young woman.
"'Cause dey amt no license on him."
replied the dog catcher.

woman. quietly. "Well, you can just

The dog catcher looked at the tag
grinned sheepishly,, and reached in and
handed out the moaning Chihuahua to
its mistress.
"Dey'1 be uh-wearin' de tags TO- ear

driver of the wagon. as the young wom-
an and the rat-like pup disappeared
around the corner.-Washington Post,

desty, who, with Starr, was arrested on
warrant issued upon a complaint
made by the Chinaman whose property
was stolen, was brought before Justice
of the Peace, Lamb, when, upon motion
of Prosecuting Attorney Nugent, the
charge was dismissed and he was re
arrested upon another warrant nude
upon the complaint of James A. Brooks,
for grand larceny, two horses claimed
by Brooks being found in their camp.
The plumber brought in from the
prisoners camp contained articles
claimed by several people who had lost
things, the Chinaman's tent; small
articles lost by the sheep herder;
O'Keefe's bedding, etc. Nichols har-
ness was found cached at one place and
the greater part OF the sheep herder's
outfit, and bed and bedding, not yet
claimed, were found cached at different
places, but not idetilled with the
prisoners plunder.
The queer part of the affair is, what
the gamblers call the "coarse work"
done by the perpetrators of the rob
berries.

no avail. Thus fast and no faster will
they go. 1t is impossible to think of
them as running away under any
provocation, and even "shying" is not
one of his weaknesses. He is as stupid
as he is faithful, and in his ifnite pa
tience is due more to lack of spirit than
to anything else. He is a joy to chill
dFen, and will submit to any sort of
ihdignity from them, while he will not
only carry double but even treble,
and if half dozen boys and girls could
get on to his back at once he would
carry them all, but the combined eff
forts of the six could not induce him to
go faster than his regular and snail
like gait.
The only time that the burro gives ev-
idsnce of having slumbering lion in
his breast is when he wages warfare
against one of his own species. He
fights spiritedly and fiercely. What
calls forth these encounters is a mys-
terry, but two of these little creatures
viii sometimes "sail in" and fight fu-
rioasly, using their teeth and heels
with powerful effect. When the battle
is ended they lapse back into their ut
ter lethargy and stupidity, and are
nothing but patient, plodding beasts
of heavy burdens.-Detroit Free Press.

KILLED A RoseER.
Plucky HoteIkeeper Gives Successful
Battle to Five Bandits.

Scranton, Pa, March 2s.-Five
masked men shortly after midnight
entered the Carbondale Traction Co.'s
car barn in an isolated spot at May
field and sandbagged Engineer Patrick
Dempsey, Fireman Frank Coggins and
Watchman Brokenshire, rendering
them insensible. They then ransacked
the Office, carrying away the box with
Sundays receipts, estimated at up
wards of $1,000.
When they left Brol1enshire regained
consciousness and fired at them sew
eral times but without effect. The
burglars boarded a northbound coal
train and got as far as the Ararat Sum-
NIT, when the train men threw them
off. They attacked the latter with
revolvers, but no one was injured.
The noise of the shots aroused Will
lam Leck, the Summit hotel keeper
and he came out to investigate. The
robbers drove him back into the hotel,
but he got his gun and revolver and
came out, opening fire as soon as he
saw the men. One of the robbers
was killed and two others wounded.
The wounded men we're made prison
ers and later removed to Carbondale
hospital. The identity of the des-
peradoes is unknown. The stolen
money has not been recovered.

PATIENT AND USEFUL.
In the Rocky Mountain Country the
Hardy Little Burro Is the Set
tiers Best Friend.

Travellers to mountainous countries
are sure, sooner or later, to make the
acquaintance of those patient and long
suffering beasts of burden-mountain
burros. OF phenomenal strength on
the scantiest supply of food, the burro
is an important factsr in the develop
ment of new countries. 1t can go where
the railroad cannot, and its footing is
secure when that of the horse and OK
would be uncertain. The load one of
these little creatures can carry is as
tonishing. The illustration shows one
with nearly a cord of wood on it's back
and this writer has seem one of the
most diminutive of these little crea-
lures going slowly but surely up per-
ilous trail in the Rocky mountains with
cooking stove, bedstead, bedding, two
chairs, three valises, small trunk and
a number of pots, pap-s and kettles and
tinware of all sorts on its back. 1t is
not uncommon to see them setting
forth on a long journey with barrel
of flour strapped on either side and
other freight on their backs. One
meets long trains of them in the Rocky
mountains coming down from mines
at the very SUBMITS of the mountains
with hundreds of pounds of stout can,
vas bags on their backs. Indeed, il
would be almost impossible to develop
some mines were it not for the assist
ance of the donkey in carrying supplies
to the mines and in carrying the ore
away. 1t is almost impossible to get
them to move faster than at the slow
plodding pace they have set for them
selves. Blows, kicks and curses are o.

Tauow Candles as Medicine.

In France the peasantry still stick to
medicines calculated to turn the aver
age doctors hair gray with horror,
Wine is an ingredient of every prescrip-
ton. In fever cases it is always the
predominant one. The French peas
ants faith in fermented grape juice is
truly beautiful. If his children are
stricken with the measles he gives them
beakers of wine, well sweetened with
honey and highly spiced with pepper.
Fora severe cold he administers quart
of red wine and melted tallow candle
mixed. For scarlet or brain fever he
gives eggs, white wine and SCOT well
beaten together. Not all their super
stitions are curious; some are pathetic.
A mother, for instance, often buries her
decd child with its favorite toy, or a
lock Of her own hair in the coffin, ".that
1t may not feel quite alone"

Pap Thomas shoot mani
The boys made no comment, and
Old Horse proceeded with his story
1t was to the effect that when the men
on the left ran back Thomas sent some
of his staff to stop them, butwithout
avail. Then Thomas in great fury rode
forward himself, refined his horse
across the pathway of the retreating
men and ordered them to stop. When
they refused he drew his revolver and
fired at them, and Old Horse distinct
ly saw one man drop. He concluded
with: I was never more astonished
in my life. 1t was awful Then the
boys turned their heads quietly and
said: What objection have you, to
that? Any blamed soldier who would
run ought to be shot. Old Pap was
right That wasn't what troubled

the old cuss could hit man." ~
