cution by Securing His Would
BE Assassin's shotgun.

Policeman Glenn, of Toledo, o., had
an encounter with big dog near Iron
Vile recently, and the officer declares
that if he believed in theosophy he
would conclude that some being with
human intelligence inhabited the body
of that dog. The animal was getting
TO be somewhat ill-tempered, and
parents were afraid it might bite their
children as they passed the house on
their way TO school Complaints were
lodged at the police station, and officer
Glenn was detailed with a double-bar-
relied shotgun to shoot the animal.
The officer reached the house which
sheltered the dog and entered the yard,
keeping a sharp lookout for the fero-
cious beast. The dog spied the officer
before the patrolman got a peep at his
canineship. The animal seemed to di-

USE PRISON LABOR.
Judge Gibbons, of Chicago, Advocates
the Employment OF Convicts -
Road Builders.

The proposition TO utilize prison labor
in the work of building roads is being
discussed everywhere. There Is a dis
position manifested on the part Of sub
lie officials TO employ prison labor on
this class Of work, wherever II is pos
sible. In a recent address, Judge John
Gibbons, of Illinois. said:
"Tbe number of conyicts in Joliet
averages 1000 at all times, and every
one of these might be put to work MAX
ing good roads or preparing the ma
terial for their construction. j would
use this labor in building a great high
way from Lake Michigan to the Mis-
sissippi river, and from some point
on the northern boundary of the state
to Cairo or some equally advantageous
town. would utilize the labor Of the
prisoners in the county jairand IN the
bridewell in building a sea wall to re-
claim lands covered by Lake Michigan,
and convert them into the most mag
nifcent park in the world, stretching
from the Indiana line on the south

the north"

first door comprises one entire side OF
the box, and when this is opened it falls
to a horizontal position and acts as a
shelf. A number of small individual
boxes are revealed, and the second key
furnished opens one of these. For the
sake Of convenience in distributing the
mail these many little doors form one
large one, which when opened by the
carrier gives access at once to all the
private boxes but when he has closed
this shield the mail in each of these
compartments is secure from examina-
tion by any others than those holding
the keys of that particular box.
A large space is reserved in the bot
tom as a depository for mail matter
that is dropped in the usual way
through a slot provided.
The patent also contemplates the
combination of the scheme with an
electrical system by which the box
owners may be notified at their respec-
tive homes when a parcel has been
placed in the box by the carrier.

vine what the policeman was there for
and that he had designs on his life. The
dog appeared to fully understand the
danger of the gun the officer carried,
and instead of rushing out in front of
the policeman, as bad been the dogs
usual practice, the animal took a circle
round the house, taking good care to
keep out of the officers sight. In turn
ing the corners the dog would peer
around them both ways TO see that the
coast was clear. The dog kept get
ting closer and closer to the policeman's
heels. and at a spot where a favorable
opportunity presented itself the big an
imal pounced on the officers back with
such force as to throw him headlong
to the ground.
The dog grabbed the officer over the
breast and shook him so hard that he
dropped his gun. Then the dog grabbed
him by the legs and gave him another
shaking, but in all the shakings the
patrolman got no blood was drawn.
The dog then picked up the gun and
trotted away with it in his mouth in
the direction Of the river, and il is be-
lieved the animal dropped it into the
Maumee. The dog has been taking a
vacation since the row.
