! AFFEcTIoNATE DOGS.
HOW an English setter kescued HiH
Companion from Death by
Drowning.

An illustration of the devotion Of am
mails lately occurred, the chief actors
being the two dogs of c. p. Pitkin, one
an Irish and the other an English set
ter, reports the Montpelier (Vt.) Ar
gus. The dogs are devoted to each
other, and are together almost con-
tinually. The other day the Irish set
ter went on the ice on the river behind
Mr.. Pitlin's residence, and broke
through when near the opposite side,
being precipitated into the water. The
animal made desperate efforts to get
out, but the ice continued to break on
the edge under its paws every time 1t
attempted to climb out. In this way
the dog moved to near the center of the
river, where the swift current COM
| menced TO drag it under she ice. When.
the dog broke into the river the Eng
fish setter appeared to be greatly dis
| turbed. and when it failed to get out
rushed up ard down, evidently trying
to devise some pan for rescue. When,
however, the dog commenced to be
drawn under the ice the English setter
set up a heartbrealiing howl and ran to
| the barn, where George Fitzgerald was
at work, and, barking and evidently
trying to tell him to follow, at last got
him TO the river bank, where he saw
what had happened and pulled out the
other animal frcm the river. When the
Irish setter reached the Shore the other
seemed overcome and parked and made
the most extraNagant demonstrations
of JOY. tapping the other. and very
plainly showing that it realized the
danger from which the other had es.-
capped and it's tliankfulness therefor.

BEAUTIFUL EYES.
An Geaiist Authority Says Those With
Large Pupils Are Apt to
lie Defective.

A large pupil is one of the chief beau
ties OF the eye, and so we'll is this rec
ognized that the atrcpia, which dilates
the pupil, has been named belladonna.
Yet diiated pupil is very common
symptom of defective vision. The iris
is shutter to regulate the amount Of
Light falling on the retina, and if the
latter be dull or defective it requires
larger supply. Hence dilated pupil is
often associated with feeble retina.
which. of course. means feeble vision.
Short-sighted people have often .
greater convexity of the front of the
cornea, and this lends certain bright
ness to the eye. Apart from these me-
chanical causes, there is very COM
mon, but unexplained, association Of
defective sight, and an irritable and
easily infamed eye, with some of the
rarer and more beautiful colored irises.
The much-admired violet eye, and GER
tain shades of gray and blue, often suf-
fer from such associated defects.
Those with long eyelashes are said to
be more subject to ''stye" and other in
Examinations.

w1TcHcRAFT IN ALASKA
The Government Trying to Stamp Out
the Troublesome P-actice of
the Medicine Men.

The United States court of Alaska,
acting under instructions from Wash
ington, is endeavoring to stamp out
witchcraft, as practiced by the Indian
tribes on the southeastern coast of the
territory. a number of Indians are at
Juneau under arrest, and their cases
are being considered by the grand jury
that is now in session. These Indians
are very superstitious, even more so
than those OF the interior. Ii the med
cine man is unable to effect a cure in
any case he pronounces the patient pe-
witched. The relatives of the sick In
dian will accuse some of the tribe of be-
ing the witch devil" The accused is
confined until the fate of the patient is
decided. In every case he is put to
death if the sick man dies. The num-
her of Indians killed as witch devils
increased during the past year, and
Gov. Brady gave it prominence in his
report.
Judge johnson, in charging the
grand jury. said: GU will be called
upon to investigate number of Of
lenses peculiar to this territory grow
iEg out of the belief in witchcraft prev
alent among the native people. Many
of the cruel murders among them may
be traced TO this bel1f, and it is your
duty not to ignore, but to make patient
inquiry and return true bills where
the evidence so warrants, for the pro-
lection of these people. The stamp of
the laws disapproval of all such prac-
tees must be emphatic"

TEE BRAVE TO TIE BRAVE.
His Compatriots In the
Rifle Pits.

On some days we were told he was
dead, but at last we were assured he
was alive. Between his iron bars he
could watch our men moving along the
yellow trenches or peering' toward him
through field glass, and the sentries
those tall, gaunt regulars who had
taken the hills with their blood and
who were now creeping up on him by
night nearer and nearer, winning the
ground between him and, themselves
by the sweat of their brows And late
one afternoon, in the sight of thou
sands of the enemy and of his own
countrymen he rode out free man
and into his Inheritance. Few men,
certainly very few young men, have
ever tasted such a triumph. The men
who had made it possible for him to
leave his cell and to breathe free air
again had waited for his coming for
many hours, crouched by the hundreds
along the high banks of the narrow
tran through which he must come.
They We're not of his branch of the
service, they were not even brother
officers, their attitude toward him was
one of attention and salute, they were
the men who had been gathered from
every point of the union to be drilled
and hammered and fashioned into the
thing called regular. They were
without local or political friends or
conditions, they had no staff of artists
and reporters at their heels to make
them heroes in spite of themselves;
but they were the backbone of the
war-the professional fighting ma
chimes, the grumbling, self-respecting,
working regulars. Hobson rode down
into this mob in fresh white duck. pale
with the pallor of the prison, and
touching his cap with grave gratitude.
And they dashed at him with a roar of
ecstasy, with wild welcome of friend
ly cheers. AS brave men they honored
brave man, and this sun-tanned, dirty,
half-starved, fever racked mob of reg
ulars danced about the educated, clever
engineer as though the moment was

lives they had set him free. that the
ground he rode over had been splashed
with their blood.-Richard Harding

HARD TO COLLECT TIE ELL.
MIR. Lineup Got Tired Of His Name.
and Put Ii and His Debts Zee
hind Him.

There are some Indians, not many,
keeping stores in the territory. Most
of the merchandising is done by white
men. Formerly, when the wholesale
house of the city supplied an Indian
storekeeper on credit, it took long odds
on his honesty, for until recently the
red man could not be sued. Neverthe-
less in the past the losses were not SO
heavy as might have been supposed. A
lawyer who had marked success with
hard collections in the territory told
this as fairly illustrative of his strange
experiences when Indians belonged to
other nationalities and could not be
reached by court processes:
"A certain house in SIT. Louis had
been selling goods on credit to an In
dian who went by the name of Mr.. Tin
cup. Suddenly it lost track of the Gus
toner. At that time the ST. Louis firm
had credited him to the amount of near
ly $4,000. But while Lineup dropped
out of the firms knowledge, orders
from the same place in the territory
began to come in from customer who
had never been heard of before, and
who gave his name as Littlepidge. l
was called upon to investigate the mat
ter and to see what could do with that
claim of about $4,000. When arrived
at the place l discovered that Lineup
and Littlepidge were the same individ-
ual. Inquired what it meant. The In
dian said he had got tired of Lineup and

him. Don't you know you are likely to

"The Indian said he didn't know he

his nation permitted him to change his

the subject and got around to the ques-
