Pet spaniel.

Pet Spaniel
When Mrs Marie Nevins Blaine was
married TO DIR. W. T. Bull, her pet
spaniel, Lion, was hanished. After the
couple had been married year Mrs.
Bull persuaded her husband to let Lion
return for a week. promising to keep
him in the stable.
Three days Of Lions visit had passed
when as DIR. Ball was taking off his
overcoat in his Office there came a rap ut
the inner door Ii was so faint thar at
first he did not notice it. Then when il
was repeated he said, Come IN. No
one came. but the rapping went on. He
opened the door, and there stood Lion.
He had been knocking the door with IA
little wooden box he held in his month,
addressed to Or. Ball. The doctor took
the box, and Lion, too polite to intrude,
turned and walked in dignified man
ner back up stairs The doctor opened
the box and read the tiny note contain
ed therein, smiled and threw il in the
scrapbasket.
The next day Lion knocked and left
another note. The third time he came
there was a reply for him. The doctor
said, Lion, wait. He took the box,
abstrHcted the note, put one of his own
in its place, and handing the box back
to the dog gave him pat and sent him
up stairs Here is copy of Lion notes
and the reply they finally elected:
DEAR DocToH-i am enjoying my visit to my

MASONRY ON THE HEIGHTS.
Abilene Will Be Represented in the
Pixies Peak Trip.

Abilene Masons are taking a lively
interest in one Of the most unique ex.
cursions that ever left Kansas. 1t
will be the grand Masonic pilgrimage
to Colorado and the most interesting
event in the history Of Masonryin the
west will be the comforting OF degrees
en- the snow crowned summit OF Pixies
Peak and in the Garden Of the Gods.
The special train will leave Abilene
on August 6 for Denver, Colorado
Springs, Pixies Peak and other points
Of interest in Colorado. The pill
grimage is taken in the interest OF
Cryptic Masonry, and Ellworth Coun'
Gil No. 9, r. and S. M, Of Ellsworth,
Kas., will hold special assembly
and confer degrees on Pixies Peak and
in the Garden Of the Gods. The
friends OF Masons will be allowed to
90 on the train, but the ceremony OF
comforting the degrees may be seen
only by those who have been initiated
into the craft. Masons declare that
this pilgrimage will become historic
not only because Of the full repdltlon
OF the ritual in one Of the largest the
aters in Denver, with settings and
paraphernalia the most gorgeous and
complete in the annals OF the ORDER
but 1t will also be unique in that, in
imitation Of the three ancient grand
masters, there will be deposited, moi
in the cavernous recesses Of mother
earth, but upon the snow.capped
clotd.wreathed summit OF Pixies
Peak, treasures sacred to the Graf
and upon the spot triangular table
will be erected to proclaim to future
ages that even there, amid the war
ring elements Of heaven, has the mys
tic trowel been welded in the service
: Of the rite. The name Of each crafts
man and candidate will be included
: in the deposit.
The Cryptic rite comprises the &c
gree Of royal master and select mas
ter. These two are among the mos
r interesting in the order and will ur
doubtedly attract large number 9
/. Masons, more especially from the IN
usual condition surrounding the Gel
emory which is beautiful wherever
is seen.

RIGHTS OF DEPos1ToRs.
NAV Receive Credit for Full Amount
When Bank Fails.

Depositors Of the Kirby bank will
be interested in decision just made
by Judge Hook Of the federal court in
one Of the numerous cases Of litiga-
ton growing out Of the failure OF the
Cross bank at Emporia. 1t was a
suit in which c. s. Jobes as receiver
Of the bank, sued Widely 4 Ford, a
business firm Of Emporia, for $4,000.
The firm had borrowed $4,000 from
the Cross bank, giving notes in Sc
curity for the amount. At the time
Of the failure the firm had consider
able deposit in the bank, and after
the crash came they wished to turn
in what was due them on their de-.
post to pay off part Of the notes.
Mr.. Jobes, as receiver, insisted
that they should pay the full face
value OF the notes, and then receive
their pro rata share Of the assets Of
the bank along with the other depos-
itors. As this would be equivalent
to losing half the deposit the firm
objected, and Mr.. Jobes brought suit
against them in the United States
district court. Judge Hook has just
decided the case in favor Of the firm
stating that they have the right tc
turn in their account against th'
bank to offset the banks claim
against them.

HOW ERNEST RYAN DIED.
Particulars Of the Passing Away Of q
Dickinson Soldier.

Among the letters received this
week from the Philippine Islands,
says the Hope Dispatch, were several
to the parents Of Ernest Ryan, from
the chaplain who attended him during
his last hours and the soldier friends
Of the dead boy. From these letters
we learn that Ernest was wounded in
the early part Of the engagement on
the oath Of May, being shot through
the abdomen. He was taken to the
rear where he was later visited by
several Of his friends. He did not
seem to know that be was so serious
ly injured. Corporal William Ru-
mold. his particular friend, was
among those who visited him and
talked with him about the seriousness
Of bis wound. Comrade Rumold
asked him II he had any word 10 send
home and be told him II he did not
get out Of it all right to send the
pocketbook to his mother and tell
them all goodbye for him. He asked
how the battle had gone and seemed
as much interested in it as before. He
was put on the train in the evening
| and sent to Malate where he was
among strangers, but where the best
Of care was given him. The chap
lain who was with him talked with
him about his home, for not being
the chaplain Of the goth, he knew
nothing about him. Ernest talked
very little to the chaplain and never
complained. He asked how badly he
was hurt and was informed that he
was very badly hurt, but he left nc
word with the chaplain to be SEM
home. 1t seems from the chaplain''
letter that he died on the 25th Of May
at ten minutes past twelve, noon, tn
chaplain being with him during biz
last hours and closing his eyes whel
death, that grim monster so Otter
seen in war, finally called him to hi
last reward. Ernest is spoken OF as
splendid soldier, always ready to per
form any duty, never complaining
and beloved by all his comrades
While it is sad to know that he die'
among strangers SO far from home
it must be a relief to the bereave
parents and family to know that b
died as soldier who had won tn
love OF all his officers and friends.
