CHEwED A DIAMOND.
A Pug Dog Mangied the Gena Until II
Was Necessary 10 Have II
Recut.

Allegheny, Pa, has produced the
champion dog story of the season. II
Is champion dog because it chewed
the corner off a diamond stud. Peter
Donaldson, Second ward saloonkeep-
ef, is little sore over the loss on his
diamond, for it was damaged so that
II had TO be recut; but he can't help
feeling proud of pug dog with such
powers in its jaws, says the Pittsburgh
Press.
The story is told by August Loeb, n
ieweler on Federal street, Allegheny.
Donaldson walked into his store one
day lately with a diamond that he
wished reset Mr.. Loeb took the stone,
and on examining it found it was
cracked. He told Donaldson, who gave
the following explanation;
A few days ago Donaldson left his
diamond stud, a beautiful two-carat
gem, on the dresser and went into an
adjoining room. When he came back
he noticed his pet dog chewing some
thing and saw that his diamond was
missing. Upon investigation he found
the dog had got ii and crushed the
mounting out of shape. After some
time he succeeded In taking the dia-
mpnd out of the dogs mouth. and at
his earliest convenience started to have
II reset.
Mr.. Loeb then examined more close
" and discovered the dog had bitten
q piece from the stone and damaged il
badly. Donaldson was certain the
stone was perfect before the dog got

rxxsit the jewelers. statement until
he saw il through magnifying glass.
Telling of the matter the other morn

<welry business for IS years, and Il
waz the first time / ever heard Of such
i case. The diamond was beauty and
- all appearances as hard as the or
di1ary diamond. One corner, however,
about one-fortieth of q carat. had been
bitten Of by the dog. The dog that can
bite pieces on a diamond Is a wonder"

THE FRENCH IN MOROCCO.
Recent Events show That Ii Is Their
Design to Obtain Supreme
Influence,

While most Englishmen are con-
centrating their attention upon events
in South Africa there are signs that
the northwest corner of the mighty
continent will be the point of at
traction in the very near future.
News has reached London that the
French had seized Ain Salah. from
which down to the present the Tu-
aregs. Berber tribe, have waged war
with all and sundry when occasion has
offered. Ain Salah is the capital of
the oases of the Touat district. its
wild inhabitants pay no tribute to
the sultan, nor does his writ run In
their territory, but while he has some
claim to the country France has none,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
France is steadily encroaching upon
Morocco. working all ways at once.
From oran and Tlemcen, in Algeria.
the rail runs TO Ain Sefra, and thence
France could pour an army into Fez.
which is within comparatively easy
reach.
The shereefs of the holy city of
Wazzan, who claim descent from the
prophet and have very great fol-
lowing in Morocco, are under French
protection. Without an order from
the French consul il is very difficult
for an Englishman TO visit Wazzan.
France has extended her protection
among the most turbulent of the Mo-
roecan fighting tribes. She recruits
her Algerian army from among them,
and in return for military service on
the frontier gives protection TO them
and to their families. The Riff Arabs.
who are notoriously valiant and care
less, have some 30 per cent. Of their
fighting men under the care of France
in return for an average term of one
years service. In connection with this
branch of French enterprise there is
French military mission to the
shereefan court. Within the last IS
months France has given another un-
mistakable proof of her intention to
extend her influence In the ill-gov-
erned country of Muley Abdul Aziz.
Through her representatives and.
some say, at her expense a Russian
embassy has been established at Tan
gier. but so far as the embassy can
discover there is but one Russian sub
ject in Tangier.
A crisis is inevitable in Morocco.
The government is going from bad TO
worse; corruption indescribable pre-
walls everywhere; justice is bought
and sold; weak tribes are destroyed
without mercy. strong ones are bribed
as we in old times bribed the Danes;
you can say nothing worse 10 man
than MAY Allah send the sultan to
YOU. e.. may you be robbed of all
you have and cast into prison, there
to rot. The sultan is not yet a man.
and he has a small intellect endow-
ment: the strong man, Abu Hamed,
may be stricken down at any moment.
Rebellion famine and misery untold
and unimagined stalk hand in hand
through land that yields in point OF
agricultural and mineral possibilities
to no part of Africa.
The end may come tomorrow. IL
can be no more than a few wears dis
tant. France Is prepared. and,
though seizure of Morocco by any
any power would cause such a war
as may not be contemplated without
horror. IL must not be imagined that
all the French preparations. involving
an endless expenditure of time and
labor. have been undertaken for
nothing.

Rye for POuitrv.


From Farmers Review: There ID
entirely too little written of rye as a
green feed for poultry. Why, 1t Is
hard to tell, for surely there Is moth
ing cheaper and easier had, also 1t Is
extra good for all kinds OF poultry
and at the same time 1t is making
pasture for fowls and possibly the
COW 1t is loosenlng the ground for

no harm and without doubt makes
the ground looser There Is no one
but what can SOW a patch In his gar
den anyhow and after 1t gets a start
let the fowls have the run OF 1t. Un'
less your poultry is in very great num-
bers and the rye patch small no harm
Is done to allow them the run Of 1t all
the time-except the ducks and geese.
Their broad feet pat the soft ground
down 80 hard and then after 1t Is
up the blades do not seem to grow
up so quickly after being nipped off
by ducks or geese bills as when they
are picked by chickens or turkeys.
After 1t gets a start there is nothing
better however for laying ducks than
to be turned into a rye patch. Four
weeks ago we sowed the garden and
truck patch to rye after narrowing the
ground. The rye was broad-casted,
then logged, and now NOV. 1S) 1t Is

This is a condition OF the legs caused

collection and put It under a magnify
ing glass, you can easily recognize the
insect that causes tho trouble. A little
pains taken will cure this disease. An
ointment OF sulphur one ounce, vase
line ten stablespoonfuls, well rubbed
into the rough places twice week,
for two weeks, will make life miser-
able for the parasite and heal the irrl-
tated parts. Set no hen with scaly
legs unless you desire unsightly shanks
In the chicks. A single hen with scaly
legs Is liable to pass the disease to the
other birds in the yard. The legs Of
the infected bird getting against those

the spread Of the trouble. II you wish

the ointment to all birds. Do not have

The physician started. Again O
swift, searching glance scanned the old

Wedding? At her fathers sick

THAT Is the reason. He probably
knows that the end Of his life Is ap-

his daughter In her husbands arms.

His nephew, and, through this we'd
ding, also his heir, Miss Florence is

But this haste is incomprehensi-

curled in smile OF cutting sarcasm.

Il short time ago the young lady was
bound by other ties"
"Yes, l have heard so, too. Some
romantic youthful love affair, which
probably was not meant q be taken

October pigs are usually as profitable

be ready for market, In every town
there are butchers who are always
watching for opportunities to buy pigs
Weighing from 100 to 200 pounds for

the tactful lawyer he became in his
maturity. Early in his career he found
himself as counsel for the defense in

as principal witness against him.
Thinking he saw chance to be bril-
liant he sarcastlcally proceeded to
bully the witness by commenting upon
doctors mistakes. doctors make as
few mistakes as lawyers" asserted the
old man. "a Doctors mistakes are
buried six feet under ground" was the
reply. Eyes, but lawyers mistakes
are hung as many feet above the
ground" was the reply, "and that Is
just the difference" The jury saw tho
