satisfactory account Of himself. Three
negroes and two white men were eorraled,

the Situation.


DR.. w. r. Blunt, State health officer,
has concludedato go to San Francisco and
to personally Look into conditions con-
corning the bubonic plague in that city.
He has already established strict quar-
antine on the bTexas border, but, after a
personal inspection it is possible he may
somewhat relax present rules.
Louisiana hes4th authorities have in
formed the railways OF their system Of
quarantine, which they believe offers am
pie protection Transportation companies
must not accept rags, bones, hoofs, horns,
hides, secondhand furniture or house
hold GOODS as freight. In the way OF pas
senger quarantine the embargo applies to
Chinese. japanese, negroes or any othei
race of people who are uncleanly in their
habits This, D, Is believed, will insure
immunity from the filth disease which so
far has not attacked the Anglo Saxons,
who use water for purposes OF addition, If
not as a beverage,

Heavy rains fell Sunday and Monday

A con.cIence stricken Dog.

Any one who has ever owned a big
affectionate dog will rise up in arms at
once II it Is lnsinuated that our canine
friends haven't thinking minds.
Here is a story told by an English
lady about how her favorite dog show
ed that he knew he had done wrong
and was sorry for IT.:
ave were staying at Yarmouth. and
Bran, who was allowed perfect liberty
was lost for one entire day. At night
inst before the house was shut up, he
made his appearance. Being met at
the hall door, he was rebuked and his
offered paw not taken.
"His nightly resting place was a
cellar, where he had a comfortable
straw couch provided for him, and his
usual custom was to run down stairs
Immediately to his bed and supper,
but on this evening he remained at the
top of the stairs and cried and whined
piteously. Presently my brother said,
You must come and make it up with
Bran or the poor fellow will cry there
all night Accordingly we opened the
door and one by one shook Bran's paw
In sign of forgiveness, whereupOn he
quietly walked down stairs and after
eating his supper with avldity curled
himself upOn the straw and went TO
sleep"

A pet canary belonging 10 very de-
voted l2-year-old girl who lives not
very far from New York died the other
day Of pneumonia and received bur
ial which probably stands alone in the
annals of bird obsequies.
Dick was six years older than his lit
tie mistress and spent half Of his hap
py lie I'm singing. When the little fell
low died. he was put in silken shroud.
Two boys of the ncighborhood dug his
grave. and a handsome jewel box, lined
with white velvet. served for a casket.
All the girl friends Of Dicks little
mistress. Ruth. attended the funeral
dressed in deep black. and the l6 dolls
that were I'm the erect congregation
wore the same somber hue.
When everything was I'm readiness,
Ruth threw up n window, under which
was the newly made grave, and began
playing a funeral march on the piano.
One Of the lads who assisted in the
grayediggng picked up the walnut
casket and bore it slowly through the
door. The girls followed, with their
arms full OF dolls. When the grave
was reached. a signal was given TO
Ruth to stop playing. and she Joined
the crowd Hymns were sung, and
tributes were spoken Of the dead.
There was so much weeping that it
was finally decided to bring it to an
end by hurrying up the burial services.
The body was quickly placed in the
grave, and a little mound was built up
over It.
The mound is piled high with pretty
pink tipped seashells. and green sod
extends from the grave to little fence
six inches high which surrounds Dicks
lot.
A tiny granite shaft was made to or
der for Dick, bearing his name and the
touching inscription, HE Was a Good
Bird"
