Dicks Long Fast.

Mr.. Michaels of the Hotel Barthulet
lost his dog last week and was sorely
grieved, but his fondness for dogs sus.
tanned violent change when complaints
began to come in from his boarders over
the loss of sleep through the nocturnal
yelping OF eur They grum 5lingly
stood it for three nights and then threat
ened to leave in body. Mr.. Michaels
was in dispair. He tried to borrow a
gun from Walter Ridder and vowed he
would ex'erminate all of the dogs in the
neighborhood. Finally he appealed to
Marshal Grant and insisted that the dog
pound in that neighborhood was nuis-
ance. The marshal after some trouble
located the animal under the sidewalk of
the hotel and offered to shoot it, but
when Mr.. Michaels got his eye on it he
found it was his long lost and much be-
loved "Dick," and his sorrow was turned
into joy. The boards were quickly torn
up and the attenuated Dick was given
three days rations to make up for his
long fast.

u. S. COURT ON WHEELS.
Territory by Which Trouble and
Expense Are Saved.

The United States court of the north
ern district of Indian territory is prob
ably the only travelling court, including
the courtroom and all persons and
things connected, in existence in the
United States. United States Commits
sioner Harry Jennings, United States
Marshal l.. +. Bennett, and a corps of as
sistants, have adopted this novel plan
of travelling over the district and hold
stead of at one place in the district, as
heretofore. The northern district of
Indian territory is large and the towns
are far apart, so that it is very hard for
persons to travel to and from to attend
court, as well as expensive.
Commissioner Jennings has had a
small house built on wheels. much re-
sembling movers outfit, in which they
travel, and also in which they hold
court in the various towns over the dis
trict. They carry cooking utensils with
them and have an expert cook, who
keeps their house in order. They 90
from place to place wherever they are
wanted, and they claim that they have
saved the people considerable money,
as it is much less expensive for the
court to travel than for the people to
travel in that country. Criminals can
be reached more conveniently in this
manner, as it is often dangerous to con-
duet criminals from town to town with
out a heavy guard, as their allies may
attempt to rescue them. The travelling
court of the Indian territory is a success,
and the people of that district are well
pleased with it--Pittsburgh News.

"Well," he replied, "why don't you

with more vigor than poiteness forced
him into a clothing store, Nat picked
out the highest priced pants he could find
and bundled them up as though he was

SHE SANG FOR DEATH.
The Pnthos aud Tragedy of Emma
AbbOft's Passing Away.

One night in the city of Denver,
located at the foot and in plain view of
the Rocky mountains, Emma Abbott
was billed to appear in Faust. In the
same city most attractive and beauti
full 1s-year-old girl, belonging to one of
the wealthiest families. lay in the last
stages eff that fell enemy of the human
consumption. Some weeks before
the arrival of the company she said to
those around her: "Oh, / hope the sun
will shine and the weather will be warm
and genial, SO | can hear Miss Abbott
sing once more. think | could then
pass away peacefully and without one
single regret. But there came with the
queen Of the lyric stage "A northern hur
ficane-with the very air charged with
icicles, which penetrated the lungs.
Some one told Miss Abbott Of the griev-
ous Disappointment of the dying girl.
She went to the opera house and never
sang more sweetly. and as soon as it
was over and the audience dismissed
called her carriage and directed it to
drive to the home of the young lady
The scene which followed was worthy
of the finest brush ever welded by the
grand old masters. There lay the dying
earth angel, with pallid lips. hectic
cheeks and lustrous eyes and the light
of immortal beauty shining upon her
face. Standing beside her, in one of her
richest robes (the one she had worn that
night, sparkling with pearls, rubies
and diamonds, stood the almost divine
mistress of earthly melody.
The first piece rendered was 1.-THE
Old Folks at Home, " and then followed
II Know My Redeemer Liveth." The
finale of this weird scene was "Rock of
Ages Cleft For Me, Let Me Hide Myself
In Thee And then Miss Abbott bent
over the frail form and kissed her an
eternal farewell. Soon after the spirit
passed into the wild winds which rang
through the wild mountains near by
set sail for that haven from which the
first homeward bound bark is yet to
be seen-the stainless soul waited to
the stainless heavens by the sweetest
music ever heard on earth-into the
melodies of paradise birds.
Miss Abbott returned to her room at
the hotel and retired. Some time dur
ing the night she awoke with pain in
the left lung. 1t rapidly grew worse. A
physician was summoned. Then anoth-
er. and another, who applied every
remedy they could command. All TO no
purpose. 1t was typhoid pneumonia in
its worst form. The black camel was
kneeling at her door. Angels of the
heavenly choir had that night listened
to her voice in the sickroom and sent
for her TO come home to them.
In three days that voice which had so
often raised the souls of men and wom-
en- to the noblest, the grandest heights
in holy ecstasy. was forever stilled in
death-gone forth into-the night.
So fades the summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are DER,
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies the wave along the shore.

Ancient Chains.

In an interesting article on the sub

to the fact that Notwithstanding the
frequent mention of chain in the Bible
the article is comparatively new The
same author says:
"Some authorities give the Britons
credit for originating the cable chain
because Julius Caesar is recorded as
having been unable to cut the cables Of
the Gauls vessels. as they were made
of iron. This may have been a chain in
the present acceptation Of the term.

Sound Picturea.

To take picture OF your voice 1t is
only necessary to tie sheet of thin,
strong paper over the tiaring end of an
old tin horn. Hold the horn with the
sheet of paper upward. Take little
pinch of fine sand and place 1t in the
center of the paper Then hold the
horn vertically above your face and
sing a note into the lower end of the
instrument. Do not blow. but sing the
note.
Now lower the horn carefully and
look at the sand. You Will find that
the vibrations of your voice have scat
tered the pinch of sand into beautiful
sound picture. Every note In the mu-
steal scale will produce a great variety

Some of these pictures look like pan
sizes, roses and other flowers, some like
snakes, and others like flying birds; In
fact, there is no limit to the variation.
The pictures of the notes of musical In
struments are made by holding the
horn as near as possible to them.

GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE.

of being forced to join the army, but he
will be allowed TO remain only nine
months in Germany. If he stays longer
he becomes again German citizen and
must do military service. If he leaves
when he has been little less than nine
months in the country and stays away
for two or three weeks he can return
without running any danger and can
stay another nine months. If he does
this every nine months he can live as
long as he likes in Germany.
As soon as man is II years old he
cannot leave Germany without serving
in the army. He can, however, get per-
mission to leave the country until he is
90 years old if somebody is willing to
give bond that he will return and serve
his term.
In case man forfeits his bond he
cannot return to his fatherland before
he is A. years old. as he would be
promptly arrested and sentenced to
serve longer term than the original
one. After a man is 10 years old he can
go back to Germany without being pun
