DOG GETS DRUNK.
Bounce Would Serve as Horrible Elk

Bounce Would Serve as Horrible Elk
ample for a Temperance Lecturer.
Washington Post.
There is a saloonkeeper in Southwest
Washington who has dog that Is con-
firmed drunkard, and who has as many
questionable ways of getting his drinks
as the average barroom hanger-on. The
dispenser Of family disturber tells some
peculiarly funny stories of his booze-lov-
Ing canine, who first began. to love the
taste Of whisky and beer when he was
only a puppy and began to loaf around
the saloon. "A few days ago. said the
mixer Of drinks, Bounce, the dog there
licking the barrel. came in looking so
nervous that he could hardly walk. He
was all broke up and detected, and I gavo
him big 'sniff1er' In pan. You ought

came back and whined for more.
thought I would play a joke on him. so
I mixed his drinks. Then he got bowling,
uproariously drunk, and went out into
the street to try to raise a row with
every dog he saw A dog without a tag,
and evidently from the country, came
along, and Bounce walked up and stood
In front of him. The country dog looked
meek, kept quiet, and walked around. A
dog won't resent an insult very quick
when he's in a strange place, SO Bounce
walked up In front Of him again, and
again the other dog walked around
Bounce was spelling for row, and he
rubbed up against the strange dog, when
suddenly the country-looking dog hauled
oft and knocked Bounce sky western
crooked and rolled him shamefully
Bounce, as soon as he recovered, stag
gered into the saloon and begged me for
another drink. I let him rave awhile and
then gave him a stiff one He walked
f@xx-
chairs, and then matrs dive for the
street. I watched the tricky rascal, and
saw him size up the strange dog and
then back off. After a time Bounce came
back into the saloon with a large piece
of hair in his mouth and put 1t down at
my feet I knew 1t was not the strange
dogs hair, and told my dog so. Well,
sir, he was the most sheepish-looking dog
you ever laid eyes on and left the saloon
and I did not see him again until next
morning, when he came in and worked
me for an eye-opener.
After this he swore Off I'd ask him
to take a drink and he'd walk away. He
held out for about two weeks and fell
again. He came limping In as though ne
had the rheumatism. He looked at me,
and I understood what he wanted and
back with something the matter with
one of his eyes. I gave him another
drink and after awhile he came back
with his tail all twisted out Of shape
He can put up more excuses than any
dog or human I ever saw. If would
give him the stuff he'd be full all the
time He's not only ruined himself, but
he's pulled several very respectable dogs
down with him. The dogs Of the COM
munity have lost all confidence in Bounce,
and none Of them, except the very bad
ones, will associate with him.

ORDINARY OLD COIN.
But 1t Served to illustrate the Fall
ings Of Weak Humanity.


"Say!" said the street car conductor to
a mild-mannered man who was deeply
engrossed in his newspaper. Say, young
feller, don't want this quarter. I can't
use it, The mild man continued to hold
out his hand for his change, but paid no
other attention to the conductor.
"see here!" yelled the conductor, get
ting red in the face. you can't pass no
quarter like that on me. It's slick.
can't take it for more than 20 cents
The mild man looked up and said 1T m
sorry, because you gave me that very
quarter yourself last night, and I've been
laying for you since. Well, give it here"
He took the quarter and gave the con-
ductor q nickel. AS he took the quarter
from the conductor he suddenly dropped
his newspaper and gave a chuckle.
''Well, well,'' he exclaimed, there's luck.
Bless me, If that isn't an 1882 quarter with
fourteen stars an an arrow. It's worth
$3.S2." He slipped 1t into his pocket with
evidence of much satisfaction.
A hungry-eyed man in the corner, who
had overheard the conversation, jumped
I'D and said to the conductor:
isn't that the very quarter I gave you
yesterday morning? missed that quar-
ter. It was pocket-piece and a valuable
coin. I remember now that gave 1t to
you I demand itp' he said, looking
fiercely at the mild man. IF you are a
gentleman you will give 1t to me-"
'It isn't yours. You never gave 1t to
me. My wife gave me that coin by mis-

STATUES OF SNOW.
Effects Produced by Thin Copper
Pipes and LiQuffied CarbOnic Acid.

Effects Produced by Thin Copper
Pipes and LiQuffied CarbOnic Acid.
A Paris sculptor, with an appreciation
for and the power to satisfy the demand
of the minute, has hit upon the novel
scheme of turning out "snow statutes
for such Of his patrons as lean to the
unique In art. AS matter of fact, they
are only coated with snow, the under part
being made up Of copper pipes, thin and
light.
The discovery came in the nature Of an
accident. 1t was while the artist was
being shown the method Of icemaking
by machinery that the plan presented it
self to him. The liquefied gases, he no.
ticed, in their trip through the copper
pipes produced on the outside an appear
ance Enthusiastically that Of snow.
This system, reasoned the sculptor,
might be applied to statuary. And he
applied it. A statue of thin copper was
quickly constructed and box of lique-
fed carbonic acid placed in the base.
When this gas evaporated the effect of
freezing was produced the moisture in
the air was attracted to the copper sides
and quickly frozen into the semblance of
snow.
Many beautiful designs have been turn
ed out in pursuance of this principle, and
the sculptor is said to be reaping gold
en- reward for his snow discovery.

DREYFUS BADLY TREATED.
An Admission to This Effect Made
by Esterhazy.

PARIS, April 23.-The Figaro, continu-
ing its publication of testimony offered
before the court of cessation in the
Dreyfus revision inquiry, gives today the
deposition of Gen. Billot, recently minis
ter of war. Gen. Billot denied absolutely
any knowledge that Commandant Ester
hazy had rendered service to the general
staff or had had interviews with staff of
ficers. He declared that the ALLEGATION of
$4,000 francs to EsterhaZy would have
been impossible because Of the restricted
resources of the intelligence bureau. He
admitted that he had recommended Col.
Picquarts prudence in the Investigations
aiming to incriminate Esterhazy and had
refused to authorize Gen. de Boisdeffre,
former chief of the general staff, to send
Picquart to Tonquin. He told Of the
latter's endeavors to entrap Esterhazy
by inviting him to write a letter, adding
that he (BilloD opposed this plan.
Finally Col. Picquart seized one of Es-
terhazy's letters while in the post, and

the end of the shop no one was to be

Upon lighting his lantern and investi-
