REVENGE is SWEET.
what Happened When Patience Had
Ceased to bo . Virtue.


There is an unusually quiet citizen
up near the crown of Piety hill who is
just now thinking great deal of him
self. One OF his neighbors has three
pet dogs. When separated they are
well behaved and considerate to
strangers, but when together they
seem to regard 1t as an imperative
duty to try to eat any agent or other
strange caller at the house. After they
had bitten three little children belong
Ing to the quiet citizen, torn his wife's
best gown, and snapped at him while
he crossed the lot, he decided that duty
as husband and father called for ac-
ton on his part. One evening he
reached the house with bulldog, bred
in the purple, and much to be admired
because he was SO excruciatingly ugly.
In few days he followed his master
wherever he went. Thus assured, the
man made call on his neighbor with
the three pets. The French bull want
ed to play. and cut great antics in
trying to entice the trio into the game.
They just snarled, showed their teeth
and darted at him when the opening
seemed favorable. Finally he was bit

dangerous, and the dogs can take care
OF themselves. I'll be responsible"
The quiet man demurred until the pets
were charging right into his lap after
their prey, when he let go as II to
protect himself. The imported cyclone
had the air full of dogs for about three
minutes. There was continuous
crash OF bric-a-brac, all the light fur
niture was dancing. the host was kick
ing about wildly, and the quiet man
was making an admirable bluff at try
ing to restrain his property When
the entertainment was over the sitting
room looked like junk shop. The
neighbors had some little argument
about whether the bull pup should be
killed on the spot and when the quiet
man left he went out backward. cau-
tioning his neighbor in low tone Of
voice not to do anything rash. The
neighbor has given away two of his
pets, and advertised for one of these

Altogether Novel.

AS for blouses of lingerie materials
they will be altogether novel when
worn with a corselet skirt of black taf-
feta, which will lace or button in close
princess lines or in loose folds that
will be drawn up high over the bust.
The blouse of white lawn is tucked

the wrists into a deep founce of lace
that entirely covers the hands.

uncle, why do you pull your car:'
"Becanse | am annoyed, my dar-

DO you always do that when you
are annoyed?" said the boy.
Yes. my darling" said his majesty.
And when you are very, very much
annoyed what do you do?" persisted
this juvenile inquirer:

Bitten nine weeks ago by II MAD dog,
George Hoover, n ten-year-old son OF
Chas. Hoover of fShamokin, was seized
with hydrophobia last Friday and died
in great agony Saturday night. He
frothed at the mouth, barlicd like Il dog,
showed his teeth and tiled to bite any
thing that came in his reach.
The dog belonged to Georges father
and had bit him on the nose. 1t also
bit three other children besides, one
of which was sister to George, two
years younger.
The suffering of the boy, few hours
before he died, was heartrending. His
face was contorted and his lips bleeding
from the places he had sunk IN his
teeth. When the attack came on it
took four men to hold him down.
