master is connected with one of the coal
companies operating in that region, and every
morning walks about one mile to his work
and back again in the evening At noon
every day it is Bundy's work to carry a
basket containing luncheon across the
mountain to his master and for long time
he has accomplished this duty with evident
JOY to himself and satisfaction to his owner.
One day some time ago Bundy appeared at
the coal-weIghing office where his master
works, at the usual hour but minus the basket,
Mr.. Anthony was greatly perplexed and
thought a circumstance so unusual betOken-
ed trouble of some kind at home. After a
few questioning words with Bundy Mr.
Anthony started for home, accompanied by
the dog who followed closely upon his
masters heels, but seemed ill at ease. Upon
reaching the house it was learned that Bundy
had left that morning with his basket as usual
and was seen going up the side of the noun
tam and hurrying on until he was lost to
view among the trees.
The mystery was now intensified, but no
suspicion of wrong doing had ever attached
to Bundy's good name, and his master would
not believe him guilty of unfaithfulness in
this instance. A new basket was procured,
the daily trips were resumed, and Bundy's
punctual regularity increased the beliefin his
innocence. The days and weeks passed on
and the mystery still remained as deep as
ever
Perhaps as long as two months after the in
cident described one day late in the afternoon
Bundy was seen approaching the house carry
ing the missing basket in his mouth. Slowly
walking up to the kitchen door he dropped
the basket and then quickly ran away, hiding
himself IN the shadow under the big porch.
The luncheon was found intact, just as it had
been placed in the basket on the morning it
was prepared for his master.
On the same day, up ON the mountainside,
just little back from the path leading to the
weighing office, hole in the ground was
found and the pile of leaves and earth freshly
heaped by its side told the story of the miss
ing basket.
Since the discovery Mr.. Anthony loves
the devoted dog more than ever, for he in
sists that Bundy has proved that he has a
conscience and that he obeys it, following its
promptings even at the risk of disgrace and
punishment.
This Is a Frostburg story of many
years ago,
The "Mr. Anthony" referred to is
Reuben Anthony, longtime, trusted
and honored clerical employee of the
Consolidation Coal company, and
"Bundy' was his dog.
"Bundys real name was Nero. He
was Il contemporary of other town dogs,
all inferior, about Is years ago. An ac-
cident befel the poor fellow which COM
PEELED Mr.. Anthony to have him killed.
The sketch was written and con
/ tributed to the Record by |. 9. Lambert,
| formerly of this place, now at the head
of an important sales department. of the
Marshal Field company, Chicago.

DISIOcated but Good.

1t is believed the following dislocate(
verses are designed to have some bearing
upon the approaching corporate election
If so, the authors ideas are probably
obscurcd or exaggerated by his effort Il
make his lines jingle, but enough az
pears to show that he means well if hi
measure is faulty:
o, for Solomon of old
A philOsophic seer,
To lead old FrOstburg by the nose
TO save its water dear
With reeking streets unfinished work,
And drainage halfway done,
Shall Frostburg bust up itself
On big arc lights alone?
Turn old cows from out the pound,
Go drive a horse and cart,
And when you stick down i'll the mud,
Then cuss the Councils heart.
Go smell the scent on old Wills Creek,
And note the faces there,
Where turnedup noses go hand
In hand with sinking atmosphere,
Let's get the wasting water
And wash out our floating debt;
Close up all unfinished jobs,
And get in out of the wet"
Retain our credit, name and fame,
And save our money dear
For streets well paved and clean
To last from year to year.
Frostburg owns its water-works
And sixty thousand debts,
And all seem to like the job
OF keeping such big pets.
But right is right-let it prevail
'Mong towns as well as men,
Let Frostbmg keep its faith
Hereafter as well as when
1t knew property is a sacred thing
One that should be protected
From the scheming of party chumps
On iobbery projected.
No power should oppressive be,
Though used in measures fairly,
And all should guard our int rests well
By right and honor squarely.
A busted town, like a busted man,
Must lose its prestige grand,
And come to naught mid rivals great,
In any thrifty land.

The ArteSIan Well Trial.

The Curry & West suit against the
town for breach of contract held the at
tention of court Tuesday and part of
Wednesday.
81 foot, depth to be 600 feet, or until
the authorities We're satisfied that good
water had been tapped.
At 236 feet the firm stopped, claiming
they could go no farther on account of
the resisting volume of water then en-
cOuntered
To the authorities, however, the water
was not satisfactory and they refused
to pay.
Messrs. w. G. Devecmon and J. A..
McHenry prosecuted, andMessrs. G. G..
Watson and j. w. S. Cochrane defend
ed the suit
When court convened Wednesday
morning the issue was taken from the
jury, the court ruling that Curry &
West had not fulfilled their part of the
contract.
To those who had given the matter
any thought that conclusion was evident
from the start At best, the result at
236 feet was unsatisfactory. At 600 feet
no matter what the result, the contract
would have been filled.

The JOURNAL replied, stating the resi-

And the Saxton man has not come.
To the two good dentists the JOURNAL
owed the duty of discouraging needless

1t did, but only 50 far as the obhga-

New York. Feb. 25.-Rev. pf. j. lp
Peters. rector of st. Michael's Protestant
Episcopal church, in his sermon hast
night spoke upon the present condition
OF vice and police corruption pIsvailins
in this city. Ia n
You all remember he saia. y.the
ringing letter from Bishop Potter which
appeared last November describing in
vigorous terms the awful conditions ex-
listing in certain districts of our lefty.
and pointing out, moreover. how a ger
tain clergyman of his diocese had been
insulted and treated with the baSest
contempt when he attempted to point
out to a police captain the dreadful
things that tlourished in that captain S
district. You all remember too, how
this same police captain was brought to
trial and dozen policemen swore tina |.
he had not been guilty of the charges
of which there is no one of us that does
not believe that he was fully guilty.
This week We have seen the charges
contemptuouSly dismissed and we are
again brought face to face with this
frlghtful conditions of things. wherein
leading officials of the city are open and
shameless in their protection Of vice
We see. too, a gambling ring flourishing
in its iniquity and Turing young men to
ruin, gambling ring protected by ii
state senator and again favored by other
city officials. This corruption is TO be
found on all sides of us, in small
things as in great. The police levy
tribute on the peddler. on the huckster
and on the merchant. Business men and
corporations pay to the police and to
those higher in authority. sums that if
the privileges given in return for them
ls or tod n ha rar
tainly turned over to the community.
In this way we see constant efforts to
secure fer nothing. or for totally made
Quate value. properties which belong by
right to the community. OF such Offend
erS there are none verse than the street
railways. and l will venture to say that
in this city there is not a single street
railway that has not secured by ffahd
or corruption some valuable privilege
or property which belongs to the people
