ANOTHER DOG STORY.

A dog story which is, CT at least seems to be, Of an unusual sort, has been sent to us by MT. G. H. Knight, Of this city. It concerns setter who lives in one of q row of houses, ach standing in a lawn surrounded by a high picket fence. Communication with the street is through self-closlng gates, provided on the inner side with latches. which can also be reached from the outside through openings in the gates. The secret of these latches has been solved by the setter, and he lets himself in and out of his yard at pleasure, rising on his hind legs, press
 ing the iron lever with one of his fore paws. and then either pushing or pull ing the gate according to whether he is in or out of the yard. This is well within the recognized limits of canine intelligence, but what follows is not: One day the setter while dozing on his own veranda, heard a little terrier who lives next door, whining and scratching at his (the terrier's) gate. outside of which the smaller animal happened to find himself After lisening while, the setter rose. opened and passed through his own gate, went to that of his neighbor, opened that, and so let the neighbor through, and then quietly re- turned to his Interrupted nap on his own veranda.

ly disinterested kindness on the setter S part, and of course, he may be right, but we have our doubts, and the story as told does not prove it. Every dog has a keen interest in the doings of other dogs, and when one of them evil dences a desire to do something, others almost invariably investigate the situ- ation, whether it's inspiring feature is a cat up tree, an Addressed and therefore obnoxious human being, or something to eat. It may be, therefore, that the setter was more curious than kind, and that he did not open the gate to oblige a friend, but simply to see what on earth inspired that friends preference for one side of the fence over the other. In judging motives, even the motives of dogs it is we'll to be very careful, and to avoid leaping to con- clusions unwarranted by the data,- New York Times.

called and said, in effect: May fl please the court, I am informed that
 my clients wife has given birth to twins and it will be impossible for her to be present to-day. As she is an inn portant witness in this proceeding, move it be adjourned to a future date" i Whereupon the attorney for the de- / fendant stepped forward and said, in substance: May it please the court, l heartily concur in the application for postponement, as Mrs. Halperin, one of my clients, has this morning given birth to twins and, of course, it will be 1 impossible for her to be present." Justice Dooley could not do less than grant continuance, but before doing so some other interesting announce mentS were made The attorney for the complainant, for instance, informed the court that one of the krasme twins was to bear his (the attorney's) name, while the attorney for the defendants informed the court that one of the Halperin twins was to bear his (the at torney's) name. To make the proceed ings still more pleasant, another of the twins. it was agreed, should be named after Justice Dooley
 Good feeling had now reached such a pitch that the plaintiff signed the de- fendants bonds, and before the case was finally disposed of for the day all the Indications seemed to point to a harmonious conclusion of the family feud and the beginning of long period of concord between the Krasmes and the Halperins.
 Not every case in a Chicago court can be settled in this manner of course, but when one considers the in- creasing length of the dockets and the increasing demands upon the legal pro- fession, one must wish that twins would appear more frequently in the families of litigants.-C Chicago Inter Ocean.

SETTLED BY TWINS.

Some very extraordinary things hap pen in the Chicago courts from time to time, but it is not often that case is settled in Chicago justice court by what the poets would call, perhaps, a touch of nature.
 Before Dooley, J. P, last Monday, the ease of Joseph krasme vs. his relatives, Dora Bauer and Esther, Lena and Anna Halperin. was among the first on the docket. It was a family affair and possessed no points of interest save those common to the hundreds that ap- pear upon Dooley, J, P.'s calendar from one end of the year to the other.
 However, the attorney for the plain- tiff stepped forward when the case was

makes excellent robes. and in the fiercest storms and blizzards of the Southwest this serves to keep the pos sessor warm and comfortable. The robes made from the hides of the cat tloes do not equal the handsome buff falo robes obtained from the full blood ed bison, but they are soft and silky enough to be of considerable conner cial value.
 1 In the opinion of those who are in- terested in raising the cattloes of the 1 West and Southwest, this new race of American animals is destined to revo- lutionize the cattle industry of the plains and ranches. The days of enor- nous fortunes in cattle raising have passed. The great losses from blizzards and starvation made it impossible years ago for the owners of the herds to real ize the profits that al one time came to those who owned large herds of west .ern cattle The annual loss from this cause can never be reduced, except through providing the animals with adequate shelter and proper winter food; but such work requires great additional expense of time and money. The result is that the profits are mate rially reduced-sometimes to the van ishing point. It is possible, however, with immense herds of cattloes-to re- vive the old method of cattle raising, and with it the great profits which created cattle barons of unlimited wealth. The cattloes are adapted to prairie life, and neither blizzards nor storms can destroy them. Instead of starving to death when the ground is covered with q thick crust of snow and ice they deliberately paw through it to get at the grass below. In this way they weather the worst blizzards and suffer only little inconvenience therefrom. In view of these conditions the American bison, instead of vanish ing forever from our plains, may be the means of reviving and re-establish- ing one of the most important indus tries of the West.--George Ethelbert Walsh in Our Animal Friends.

A PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT

them of their robustness and natural powers, which scientists have hoped to preserve A degenerate domesticated buffalo is a very different animal from the wild creature that used to roam the plains.
 Domestication or even semi-domesti cation fails to perpetuate the wild buff falo, with all of his original instincts, amplep roportions, and muscular body; but, nevertheless the present condition of the few in existence furnishes scien- lists with sufficient data to make them more confident of the future. For over 10 years now the destruction Of the an- imals has been checked. Their numbers have not materially diminished. and there is every hope that they will in crease as soon as their needs are bet ter appreciated.
 Meanwhile, the cross with our domes- tic cattle is sure to produce results Of some value in ordinary cattle breeding. The ''cattlo'' is not an animal to be de- spised, and in many respects it exhibits qualities of unusual importance to breeders. In Montana it has been rais- ed with marked success, and there is market for it's hide, meat, and horns that makes the rearing of it profitable
 The new race of cattle produced by the cross between the buffaloes and do- mestic animals possesses characteristics which may enable breeders to repeople the plains and prairies with lineal de- scendants of the great American bison. The cattlo is nearly as large and heavy as the buffalo, and it is as strong and healthy. Its flesh is sweet and juicy, and it finds as ready a market as that of the best farm bred domestic OK. The body of the cattlo is covered and pro- tected by ahandsome furry hide which
