FROM CUR TO KING.
That "Isvcry Dog Has His Day. IL In
teres,inEIy Exempiiaed by an
English Canine.

Police Constable Dale, of the Lean
ington England force, has kind
heart, and he has found that kindness
pays, says the London Sketch. In Jan.
uary OF the past year he saw one day
sad sight In the streets--a poor, ema-
ciatcd and most misern BILE looking
spaniel being dragged along, tied TO the
back OF a dust cart. lie not only pitied
the poor animal, but came to his res
cue. After ascertaining from the dust
man that the dog had been given TO him
by lady who wanted to get rid OF il,
and who certainly must have been
without particle of womnnliness or
humanity, Dale purchased the dog for
"A shilling. lie took him home, care
fully tended aud fed him, and King
Kruger (for that is the name he has
given his peD has now developed into
q beautiful silky-haired field spaniel.
At the recent bennington dog and fam
ciers' show Constable Dale exhibited
King Kruger, who simply carried all be-
fore him, winning the first prize la his
own class, the fiye-guinea challenge cup
for the best dog i'm the show, and 4
special prize of a half-hundredweigh
OF dog food given by IA London firm.
King Kruger now has beautifully
glossy coat-~blacS, with gray patches.

turers OF war materials the shipbuild-
ers are most happy over international

cial enterprise. when every great ma
ton has its trading fleet, as Well as It's
fighting ships, the risk run owing to
the necessities of obtaining supplies
abroad are enormous. The securing
of the seas by hostile fleet. the sink
ing and capture OF ships so diminish
the number OF vessels on the seas that
no industry outside Of that which pro-
yides war materials is so active. The
dockyards in time Of war are kept In
state Of incessant activity, and every
shipbuildng yard in the land is in full
work. seeking 10 perform the almost

acres. The two states OF Rhode Island

tract Of Incorporated land would be

cate IN Chicago and took upon them
selves the responsibility Of erecting the
proposed capitol. Their part Of the

HOW "JEHU" GETS HIS BEER.
Daily Afternoon Performance I'm n
.,+ Select Residence District
~.. I'm Chicago.

On n corner In one of the most aris-
tocratic residence districts of the North
side is n small saloon that is an eye
sore 10 property owners and Mecca TO
drinking men of all classes. Before
its doors are drawn up hearses, delivery
wagons and handsome carriages.
Coachmen assemble in one of the streets
upon which the little onopens, and,
while the fashionable women whom
they serve are enjoying afternoon tea,
they indulge in afternoon beer, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
A brougbam driven by a man in con-
spicuous livery drove by the saloon the
other day Two landaus and coupe
were assembled to take part in an inn
promptu whisky" but the coachman
paid no attention 10 the other stylish
jehus. lie drew up in front of large
flat building. looked straight ahead,
and made peculiar signal with the
black fur glove. For 1--WE minutes he
sat quite immovable.
From the back door OF the saloon a
colored man walked out, carrying n
new iapanned coal bucket. lie crossed
10 the pavement near which the
brougham was stationed. Putting the
coal bucket on the sidewalk, he stopped
over and took something from it which
he handed 10 he coachman. The coach
mans big fur glove was folded over the
article for d moment. Then the glove
was raised TO the coachman's mouth,
the cockaded hat was thrown back an
instant the black glove returned some
thing 10 the colored man, and the
brougham moved on.

thH Mountain Iron does moi ship
more tlian 10000 toas this
year there will bc ample assur.
ance that the total shipments for
the six mines described will
average 100000 tons each.
The Fayal will have an excess
of 100000 and the Mountain
Iron at least 100000 tons excess
respectively over 1000, 900 tons
which will more than make up
Tor the probable shortage of the
Adams and Sauntry from the
seven figure mark and the
possible shortage of the Biwabik.
1t was only last year that
Minnesota attained the distinc-
ton of having iron mines that
shipped 1000, 900 tons and more
in a season. The Fayal and the
Mountain Iron achieved it, and
now there are several such
mines in prospect this year.

The very smallest willow tree TO be

extent on the Bridger mountains. Its
pigmy height Is due to the extreme ex-

addition OF q large wing to be
