DEAR EDlTOR:-On receiving
my old friend "The News" this
week | hurriedly began to peruse
its columns. On opening the pa

was unable for the time, to realize
whether [ was standing ON my
head, or should be: but finding |
was right side up, l hurriedly
came TO the conclusion that the
editor must have been standing
on his head when he printed it.
Being so anxious to peruse its
contents, ! made haste to attempt
the project of retroversion in or
der to be equal to the occasion,
but being somewhat out of prac-
tice of standing on my head, / was
obliged to turn the paper: howev-
er, l managed to peruse the col
umns with the greatest of inter
est,a the News is one of the most
welcome visitors that comes to
see me. 1t is through its columns
| learn of many of my old friends.
| am somewhat surprised, how.
ever, that l have not had the op-
portunity of meeting any of them
in this Burg since 1 came here
now over two years ago-with the
exception of Mr.. Joe Fisher and
family, who made a trip here dur
ing the G.. A. r. encampment last
fall. And, by the way,I was very
much disappointed not to see I'm
Gle John G.. Shaffer on that occa-
sion, as he promised me to come.
We are now beginning to get
touch of spring; and, together
with the mud, political fight and
Lagrippe that we have to endure,
things are not so pleasant as they
might be. But, as the old saying
goes, latter a storm there is all
ways a calm, " and as nature will
provide us, eventually, with more
agreeable weather, time will 81
lence the politician, and, as would
only be natural for me to say in
my line, the grippe, too. Under
the skillful treatment ofour army
of physicians, it will soon be
stamped out, then we will enjoy
the luxuries too numerous to
speak of.
We have had rather mild win
ter, although quite a lot Of SHOWS
and sleighing parties were in evi-
dence, yet | cant say that it was
as much enjoyed as some that we
used to have over the old hills in
Fulton. | guess it is an uneX-
planned theory-but nevertheless
it is a true one-that the place of
ones boyhOod will hold the ten
derest place in his memory: and
while distance may separate him
far from it, his memory will steal
away and return Notwithstanding
the weather.
We expect a great old parade
to-morrow-St. Patrick's day
in which scores of Irish-Ameri-
can societies, numbering several
Observation-Disclosures bands, am
bulance companies, ,andregiments
Of guards viii be a part. tits, Of
course, managed by the foreign
nationality-Irish-and there is
no doubt of its being a grand sue
cess.

worse; till one day she said, John
Reiker, you're no man at all; m
a woman, but if you'll get out of
hero, i'll pay off that mortgage
myself
"Ihen, stranger, just set my
teeth together, and went upstairs
and packed my grip. When 1
came down, said, Now Molly,
I'm going TO give you a chance to
pay of the mortgage. Her face
was as white as it will be when
she's dead, but she just up and
said, III do it. You see, l had
sort of hope that she'd coax me
TO stay; but she didn't; so ] bade
her and the kids good by and
came away.
"When 1 left, l brought just
money enough to take me out to
Illinois where l had cousin, and
| went straight there. He gave
me work, but we didn't get along.
He guessed that there was some
thing wrong, and kept twittng
me until | couldn't stand it; so
| told him a few things and left
him.
"Since then I've tramped and
worked, worked and tramped.
Sometimes l had a mind to steal
something and get into the pen,
just to have a home. Inever beg
ged; I'd have stolen first: but I've
lain in barns, and under stacks,
and-oh, sir, if you re ever home
less, you'll know how | felt, out
yonder, when | heard your little
girl singing Home, Sweet Home.
AS | stood there and listened, I
thought it all over; and I swore
by the love | bear my own little
girl, that if | could get work, I'd
earn enough money and then go
home to Molly and the kids; and
that if l couldn't get the money,
I'd walk it. :"
at would be a long walk from
Ohio to Vermont, said the farm
er, in husky voice. 81 rather
think you'd better get the mon
ey."
Three months later John Rel
ker stood at the door of his old
home in Vermont. Thrice he es-
sayed to knock, but his hand re-
fused to do the bidding orhis win
Then he heard a light step, and
The door was opened from within.
The delicate blue-eyed girl who
had opened 1t shrank back with
startled cry.
"Elsie, my baby Elsie:' cried
the man, shocked to see his child
shrink from him in this manner.
Papa, papa. Oh, mamma, is
it Papa?"
For answer, Molly Reiker laid
her head on her husbands shoul-
der and sobbed aloud. When she
recovered her voice, she said:
"John, haven't got the mort,
gage lifted. It's just where you
left it. D."
''Then, Molly, l suppose you'll
be willing to let us try it togeth-
er again?" said her husband in
reply.
1t was two years before John
was able to bring the mortgage
home; but not until the day on
which he did so, did he tell his
wife and children how the song
of the little Ohio girl had sent him
home to them.

Has Degrees Enough.


The following Especial" from
Reading, appeared in the North
American last Friday:
"When you get to be 6S, don't
try to JON a lodge-there is no
telling what will happen to you.
Frederick Huyett, of Exeter.
who gave this advice to-day, is
the person who had six men ar
rested yesterday. He alleges
that in pretending to initiate him
into the Red Men they rode him
on a rail, ducked him and did
many other things to him.
81 thought the young men were
sincere, he declared, and consent
ed to give them my proposition,
after they told me that was not
too old to become member.
They told me that l would have
to take three degrees the same
evening gave them my PROPOSE
tion. Of course, 1 consented, and
before knew it, they had me on
a rail, and were running through
the village. They returned, and,
taking my hat off my head, filed
it with water, and then put it
back on my head. The cold water
ran down my back, and l almost
froze. They did this three times
and said that had successfully
got the first degree.
II told them that l didn t want
the other two degrees, but they
told me it was too late to kick;
that l had to take all of them.
They then carried me to water
trough, and, Selling me by the
legs, dipped me into the trough
three times. The last time they
held my head under water three
seconds, until the bubbles began
to rise to the surface, when they
released me. That was the
second degree.
"There was no way of getting
out of it, and being a helpless old
man, of course, | had to submit.
They cut all Of the buttons off of
my trousers, cut the rim off of
my hat, put the remainder of the
hat back on my head and then
ripped my 0colt open up the
back. Not being satisfied, they
took me up in the large hall, and
marched me around about doz-
en- times. l was then compelled
to get on my knees, when they
whooped like Indians. They join
ed hands. and had war dance
around me. They pulled my hair
hit me on the head and grabbed
me'by my whiskers until my face
was sore. They then made me
join hands with them, and took
me around a ring twenty-five
times, and fell over from ex-
haustion after that. Then 1 was
taken downstairs and locked in
shed, where | remained until my
employer released me. Before |
they departed they shouted:
You successfully passed three |
degrees at the meeting next week |
you must take threemore.' told !
them that three was enough, and |
that | had no desire to become a /
a full-hedged member. | am |

Had the Wrong Flop.

An Elkins visitor said his faith
er was preacher and a thorough
iy pious man. He would often up
braid the family and relatives for
lack of faith. He told them that
with enough faith they could fly.
A good sister of the good man
constructed a pair Of wings, and
after attaching them to her
shoulders, jumped from a second
story window to take an aerial
voyage. Theresult was a twenty
foot fall to the ground, and both
arms were broken. The preach
en- rushed to her assistance and
tenderly picked her up, remark
ing Susan, you have the right
faith but the wrong lop."

Saved by a Song.
BY LOU LAWRENCE.

1t was scarcely more than a
baby voicethatcarried thegrand
old refrain out upon the air of a
summer morning; yet John Rel
ker halted as suddenly as if some
unseen hand had struck him pow
erless. He raised his bent head,
and stood in listening attitude,
while the same childish voice
sang:
"Be it ever so humble, there's
no place like home"
The singing ceased; and, after
waiting vainly for a few seconds
for it to be resumed, John took up
again the slow, shambling pace
which had been interrupted by
the song. AnXiously he scanned
the surroundings of the farm
house toward which he was max
ing his way,in the hope of discov-
ering the little singer. Soon his
| progress put a large hemlock out
Of the range of himself and the
house; and there upon the porch
floor, with her bare feet dangling
over its vine-covered foundation,
he saw a sweet-faced little girl of
five years, with her doll in her lap
and a large cat by her side. Her
head was thrown backward, and
an abundance of sunny brown
hair felloverher shoulders. Again
she was singing:
"she looks on that moon from our own
cottage door,
Through the woodbine whose fragrance
shall cheer me no more"
Again John paused and NUT
tered
IF l go on till she sees me,
she'll run.
He drew up against clump of
low willow trees and watched the
little singer. In a short while he
forgot that the child was there;
for, in his minds eye, he saw a
low, crumbling, vine-wreathed
cottage standing far away in
Vermont valley. There were
flowers in the yard and a vegetd-
bic garden in front; and he saw a
little girl no larger than the tiny
singer, who carried a doll and led
kitten by a string. Then he saw
pair Of sturdy boys and a keen
eyed woman Of thirty years, with
firm, regular features, and a brisk,
elastic step. He fell to wondering
what all these people were like
now, and what they were doing.
1t had been five years since he
saw them. The elder boy, he
thought, would be almost man;
and the woman would be turning
gray, no doubt And little Elsie,
his blue-eyed baby girl, how large
was she, he wondered.
But I will tell you his story as
he told it to the childish singers
father an hour after.
"Say, Mister, don'tyou want to
hire a hand?"
81 do, indeed, want to hire a
hand; but you-you-"
"Well, what about me?"
Il don't fancy thatyou want to
work very bad" responded the
farmer.
81 don't ell? Well, you try me
and see"
would you really work if
gave you a chance? Doyou know
how to do farm work."
eyes, IN work, that's straight
goods; and l know how to do
farm work, too. l was a farmer
myself until about five years
ago,
"What have you been doing
since you quit farming?"
"If youll promise to give me
chance to earn money enough to
carry me back to the farm l left,
I'll tell you how l came to leave it,
and what I've been doing since
then.
"Very well; it's a bargain pro-
vided you haven't been breaking
the laws during that time"
"I'm no criminal" said John
Reiker, slowly and thoughtfully;
but here's my story"
He made long pause. His
brow contracted, and his hand
shook; but he continued:

WHOLESALE DOG POISONING.
Quite a Number of Valuable CANNES
Came to Grief on the Island Yes

The Island dog poisoner is again
abroad on the Island. No less than
six animals received their ~quietus
Some of them were very valuable
CANNES. Those which are known to have
crossed the dark river yesterday were Mr..
Harry J. Mendel's Irish setter: one of
Mr.. Oslo Statler's fine English settlers; an
marked, belonging to Mrs. j. B. fancy; a
pet dog belonging to Mr.. George Wick
ham; a fox terrier owned by Mr.. John
Dick, Ii a Newfoundland dog owned by
Mr.. c.. W. Straub.
Mr.. Mendel says he saw his dog pick
up a piece of meat just west of the sus-
pension bridge and near the intersection
of Virginia and South Front streets, but
he thought nothing of it until a couple of
hours afterwards, when she began to de-
velope symptoms of strychnine poisoning.
His efforts to save the animal were I'M
availing. From all the information OBJ
tainable the same kind of poison seems
to have been administered in every case.
The following communication on the sub
ject of dog poisoning has been handed in
for publication:
To the Editor of the Register.
:. This forenoon l had a valuable dog pois-
oned by some person who could have no
other object in doing so than pure devil
ment or malice. or both. The animal was
peaceful, indeed harmless; he was always
near me and never annoyed any one. Now,
I desire to know If there is any
legal protection to the owner of
such property? He pays taxes there
on and in some cases where the
property is destroyed IL is hard to re-
place. sometimes irreplaceaple. 1 have been
informed that the poisoning of dogs unde
certain circumstances is a penitentiary
offense. Is such the case? If so, I will
pay a liberal reward for the apprehension
and conviction of the person guilty of such
practice as far as 1t relates to my prop
.erty. SUFFERER.
Wheeling. April 1st.
I'VE believe the crime is not a felony,
and therefore not a p~enitentiary offense-
However, action may be brought for dam
ages just the same as for loss or destruc-
ton of any other personal property.-City
