ONE WAY OF KILLING A DOG.
Safe to Say 1t Will Not Be Tried
Again by These B VS..

ABdln ny lneSe d Us.
Throop contributes the star Fourth
of July story.
Three boys were entrusted with the
task of dispatching a vicious dog. They
selected Monday evening as the time
and a vacant field just off the corners
as the place, and proceeded to do the
dispatching in their own peculiar way
The dog was suspended by the neck
from the limb of n tree. a stick Of
dynamite was tied to his tail and a
fuse attached to the dynamite.
When the fuse began to sizzle the
dog began to wiggle, and. just as the
spark was within a few inches of the
explosive. the dog succeeded in extri-
eating himself.
The boys ran in desperation towards
the town, followed by the dog, followed
by the bomb, followed by the sizzling
fuse. The boys had just leaped a fence
and the dog was springing in the air
to leap it after them when the spark
reached the percussion cap, the dyna-
mite exploded and the dog and a large
area of fence were no more.
The last of the boys to get over the
fence was left within the zone of dan
ger and thrown forcibly to the ground
by the concussion.

FIRE IN EMPIRE MINE.
1t Is Confined by Eight Big Walls,
But Is Still Burning.

The work Of constructing walls to
confine the fire in the Empire mines at
Wilkes-Barre has been completed and
the fire is under control. Eight large
solid walls of masonry surround the
flames, which cover a space about a
mile in length.
1t was first thought necessary to
food the mine, but the plan adopted
will undoubtedly have the same effect
and thus save thousands of tons of un-
mined coal. 1t was necessary to keep
a current of air upon the fire In order
to prevent explosions of gas, and now
that the fire is enclosed the company
officials think the gas will aid them in
the smothering process and that In a
short time the fire will die out.
AS all connections with the other
parts of the mine are cut off from the
fire, it will do no damage.

How 1t Saved Pain.

In dental surgery of late years." said
a man with slightly swollen jaw.
'"The old, brutal way of yanking out
molars by main strength and awk-

tooth pulled this morning, and the
whole thing was so quiet and easy l
could scarcely believe it had been done.
l took Whit Of gas and opened my
eyes to find the tooth gone. 1 didn't
even see the forceps. 1t was in strong
contrast, by the way, with an expert
ence of mine some years ago, when
painless dentistry was still in its ex-
perimental stages. l had back tooth

Gated foreign device, long since aban-
doned, that sent current along the

like this: Suppose fellow hit you

AUF wlEDERsEHEN.

The little gate was reached at last,
Haf-hid in !ilacs down the lane;
She pushed It wide, and, as she past,
A wistful look she backward cast,
And said. "Auf wiedersehen!"
With hand on latch, vision white
fingered reluctant, and again
Half doubling If she did Alright,
Soft as the dews that fell that night,
She said, "Auf wiedersehen!'
The lamps clear CLEAN fits up the stairs;
linger in delicious pain;
All, in that chamber, whose rich air
To breathe in thought / scarcely dare,
Thinks she, "Auf wiedersehen!'
IT'S thirteen years; once more l press

But these-they drew us heart to heart,
Yet held US tenderly apart;
She said, "Auf wiedersehen!

PINE NEEDLES.
Here where the pine tree to the
ground


Here where the pine tree to the
ground
Let sip It's rag salt load,
My footsteps fall without sound
Upon velvet ROAD
0 poet pine, that turn'st thy gaze
Alone unto the sky.
How softly on eartL common ways
Thy sweet thoughts fall and lie!
So sweet, so deep, scared by the sun,
And smitten by the rain,
They pierce the heart Of every one
With fragrance keen as pain.
Or II some pass nor heed their sweet,
Nor feel their subtle dart,
Their softness stills the noisy feet,
And stills the noisy heart.
0 poet pine, thy needles high
In starry light abode,
And now for footeore passersby
They make velvet road.

other poems by Ethelwyn Wetherald.

Little Lady Mary and the Pirate.

Steamships were as yet unheard OF.
but emigration from Ireland to the
New World was we'll under way when
James Wilson and his young wife set
sail in the year 1920, from Londonder-
ry, Ireland, to join the colony of the
same name in New Hampshire.
The ship was slow and badly armed
So when a pirate bark one day over
hauled her there was no thought of re-
sistance which could only madden tbs
pirates to bloody vengeance The
bearded men swarmed aboard, tied up
the crew and the male passengers and
packed up their valuables for removal.
Finally their leader went into cabin
where Mrs. Wilson lay on berth.
"Why are you there?" he demanded.
For answer the woman uncovered a
tiny babes face.
The mans manner changed. rs it a
boy or a girl !" he asked in hushed
voice
"a girl"
Have you christened herr"

"Then," said the man very gently.
'Iet me name her and l will unbind
your men and leave the ship unharmed
and unrobbed. 1t shall be good name
the best. May name the grip"
Eyes"
There were tears in the rough mans
ewes as he took the baby's tiny hands
and whispered. Mary" with some
other words that Mrs. Wilson did not
hear. Then he ran on deck, called his
men from their plumber and went to MS
own ship. Soon he was seen returning
alone. He took from parcel piece
of beautiful silk, which he laid on the
berth at little Mary's side. Let her
wear this on her wedding day" he said.
Mr.. Wilson soon died and his widow
married James Clark, great-great-
grandfather of Horace Greeley. Ocean
MARY" as she was called, was married
in 1740 to Thomas Wallace. She wore
the pirates silk as her granddaughter
and great granddaughter have done ar
ter her. She lived to be ninety-four
years old, and her grave is still shown
in the Gods Acre of Henniker, N. H.

THE WRONG EYE.

Stephen Godstone was one Of the
cleverest surgeons we ever turned out
of our hospital, and that is saying a
good deal, and there is no knowing to
what height in the profession he might
not have risen had it not been for
woman and wine, or to speak more
correctly, woman and whisky.
He4 was engaged to charming girl
whose people lived in Kensington, and
who, like many other girls, both before
and since, was so proud of her power
over a clever man that she could not
resist the temptation to exhibit it occa-
sionally.
Godstone was a sensible fellow, and
as a rule, he made allowances for this
amiable weakness on the part of his
'1ady fair" and yielded with good
grace to her pretty tyrannies.
But day came when the Fates were
adverse-I never heard the full facts
of the case, but, as well as l could
make out, Godstone had called at Ken
sington on his way to the hospital,
where he was to perform an import
ant operation. and his fancee, who
had two or three girl friends spending
the day with her, asked him to accom-
pany them somewhere in the after
noon.
Godstone pleaded his duties, the
maiden persisted, he explained, she in
sisted, he reluctantly refused her com
mand, and finally the naughty damsel
said, eff you go away now you can
stay forever" or words to that effect,
and Godstone left the house a broken
hearted man.
The ruin of all his hopes, that's the
usual way of putting it, l believe,
made the poor fellow feel so ill that
on his way to town he had to stop two
or three times and absorb little wills
ky to revive his tagging spirits, so that
what with one thing and what with
another, by the time he reached the
hospital he was in a tolerably confused
condition.
However, he made his way to the
theater, and in due course performed
his operation, l forget now what it
was, with all his usual skill and deli
cecy.
All might have gone well but for one
of those accidents which affect alike
the fate of men and nations.
A weIl-kn0wn man, who was expect
ed that afternoon to operate on poor
fellow who was doomed to have an eye
extracted, missed his train and tele-
graphed to Godstone, asking him to at
tend to the job for him.
OF course he consented and when
his turn came the patient was brought
in and placed in position, and after a
few remarks concerning the nature of
the disease and the necessity of re-
moving the eye, he was placed under
ether
Without a moments delay Godstone
set to work, one twist of the wrist and
the eye-ball was out. and almost before
you could say Jack Robinson the OPP
GRAFTON was over.
Godstone was just walking away in
a dazed, dreamy fashion from the table
when one of the other surgeons ut
tered loud exclamation.
"Eh, what?" said Godstone, stopping
short.
'You have extracted the wrong eye"
cried the other, "and the man will be
blind for life"
Though it was true, it was brutal
thing to say, but he had always been
Jealous of Godstone's success,and now
he had his chance, suppose he though
he would make the most of 1t.
I shall never forget Godstone's ex

Journey of Sacred Carpet.

ut is an odd thing to call the sacred
carpet of the Mohammedans carpet
for it not only is not carpet in itself.
but It is not the shape of a carpet, ii
is not used for a carpet and does not
look like carpet.
"We were among the fortunate ones
who were invited to the private view
of it the night before, when the faith.
fal were dedicating it, says a WI ter
in the Woman's Home Companion.
''They sat on the floor, those Moham-
medans, rocking themselves back and
forth and chanting the koran.
'"The carpet is a black velvet en-
broidered solidly in silver and gold II
IS shaped like an old-fashiOned metho-
dist church, only there are minarets
at the four corners. 1t looks like a
pail. Every year they send a new one
to Mecca and then the old one is cut
into tiny bits and distributed among
the faithful, who wear it next their
hearts. This carpet was about six feet
long and was rallied in so that no one
could touch it. A man stood by and
sprayed altar Of roses on you as you
passed, but I do not know what he did
it for, unless it was to turn sensitive
women faint with the heavy perfume.

Of the men and the shouting and run
ming of the children aud the singing Of

whose very gait seemed more majestic
because of his sacred burden, and thus,
led by scores Of enthusiastic Arabs, he
moved slowly down the street, follow
ing the covering for the tomb, and in
turn being followed by. one scarcely
