Rover Trained Them.

Mr.. Il. C. w. Howard OF Duval
county. Florida. vouehed for the truth
Of the following incident. which camo
under his observation; Rover. a large.
shaggy dog. was the occupant OF a
well-kept kennel. and was frequently
accompanied by a duck. which finally
gave supreme test 20 his friendship
by laying an even dozen eggs In cor
ner Of his kennel Rover did not re-
sent the eneroachment. but, on the con-
trary, seemed to feel the responsibility
OF guardianship. and at night lay with
his nose a little closer 10 the door OF
tho kennel. while the duck sat on the
eggs In her pre-empted corner. In due
season eight duckllngs appeared. and
Rover appeared as delighted as II he
had dug a woodohuck out Of his hole
in the pasture lot A week later the
mother duck lost her life In a COW
kick accident. and Rover at once an
sumed the care OF the web-footed or
phans, nesting them In his long hair
at night and in the daytime swimming
with them in the pond.

That is what happened In 1867 on the
limo OF the Union Pacific railroad In
wyoming. In that year tho company
decided to move It's shops and estab-
lish new town. The site chosen was
on the plains. where there was neither
tree nor stone. Every other lot IN
the town was to be given free to the
person who would build house. The
day after the offer was made, the rail-
way had difficulty in moving all the
people who wanted one OF those lots.
Free trains were run from az far eaHt
as Chicago. and In as hours 1000 peo-
pie were on the ground scrambling for
place to construct home. As fast
as location was secured, the building
OF n homo began. A good many OF tho
houses were OF tho knock down"
style OF architecture. They could bo

some OF the settlers had brought these
houses with them. For a year the
railroad company continued to give

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

The Associated Charities held its an
nual election of officers Jan. 4, when
all the old officers who placed the as
sociation on its feet and made it one
of the most important institutions of
the city, retired from active work and
new officers went into the direction of
affairs.
The old officers decided some time
ago to retire, for they had earned a
rest, and it was quite we'll known that
they would not serve another term, but
the other ladies of the association
rendered them a graceful compliment
by re-electing them. The honor was
declined, and the new officers were
then chosen.
The new officers are: President,
Mrs. A S. Christie; first vice presi-
dent, Mrs. J. $ Hammond; second vice
president Mrs. L. A. Sisley: secretary,
Mrs. w. w. Cheeley; treasurer, Mrs
A. II. Wethey. Mrs. Wethey was the
only one of the old officers who could
be prevailed upon to serve another
term.
There We're two trustees for the Paul
Clark home to be elected at this time
also. Mrs A S. Christie was chosen
to succeed Mrs. ]. l. Broughton and
Mrs. Ruth Burton was reelected.
Considerable business of a routine
nature was transacted at the meeting.

Twill any effort be made to invade
Canada, as is stated by eastern dis

NO: such a course would be madness
for America would have to step in and
stop it. There are a lot of people in the
east who advocate the movement, and
you would be surprised to know the
number of people here who have the
same idea. of course, all this is mad
ness, however.
Are the members of the Meagher
guards interested in this recruiting?"
"All their sympathies are with the
Boers,'' was the reply. we have ap-
plication for admission into the, guards
every day, and the boys are doing lots
of drilling. If it should happen that
matters go on as they are planned.

Your ambition travels far,

But you don't seem to git thar
Joseph c.!
You picked out a little State
Scarce a dot upon the slate;
And you wouldn't arbitrate,
But you crawled
When our Uncle Grover c.,
Said Let Venezuela be-
And your appetite for fight quickly palled.
Oh. but you're precious fool,
Joseph c.!
And one-eyed silly tool,
Joseph c.,
OF the thieving knights of Pef
NO one blacker than YOURSELF
Who will lay you on the shelf,
When you fall.
You're the cheapest kind of knave,
Neither shrewd nor bright nor brave
Just the poorest, meanest specimen of all.
And you're such a blooming ass,
Joseph c.!
And you've come to such pass,
Joseph CT
Why didn't you look around
For some bit of barren ground,
Where no natives could be found
That would fight?
You could conquer them at ease
You cOulu 40 dS you DldIut pltdSt.
And the world would never know but you
were right.
But you had to. as a. chump,
Joseph c.!
Without any Wisdom bump
Joseph c.
Try to take a final fall
With the biggest man of all,
And you're up against Dom Paul
And a gun.
He's an ugly man, this Boer.
as YOU might have known before,
Won may not look SO pretty, but you IL
know good deal more
When you're done.
