A steadtast Friend.

One of the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to the dog was delivered by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, some years
ago. He was attending court in a
country town, and while waiting for the
trial of case in which he was interest
ed was urged by the attorneys in a dog
case to help them. Voluminous evil
dence was introduced to show that the
defendant had shot the dog In malice,
while other evidence went to show that
the dog attacked defendant. Vest took
no part in The trial and was not dispos.
ed to speak. The attorneys, however,
urged him to speak. Being thus urged
he arose, scanned the face of each jury
man for a moment, and then said:
Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend man has in the world may turn
against him and become his enemy. His
son or his daughter th6t he has reared
with loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest to
us, those whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name, may become
traitors to their faith. The money that
a man has he may lose, it flies away
from him, perhaps when he needs It
most. A mans reputation may be sac
riHced in moment of ill-considered
action. The people who are prone to
fall on their knees to do US honor when
success is with us may be the first to
throw the stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads. The
one absolutely unselfish friend that
man can have in this selfish world, the
one that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacherous,
is his dog. A mans dog stands by him
in prosperity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground, where the wintery winds
blow and the snow drives fiercely, if
only he may be near his masters side.
He will kiss the hand that has no foud
to offer, he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep of his pauper master as If he
were prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation fall to pieces he
is constant in his love as the sun in its
journey through the heavens. If for
tune drives the master forth an outcast
in the world friendless and homeless
the faithful dog asks no higher privi.
lege than that of accompanying him, to
guard against danger, to fight against
his enemies. And when the last scene
of all comes, and death takes the mas
| ter in its embrace, and his body is laid
away in the cold ground, no matter il
all other friends pursue their way, there
by the grayeside will the noble dog bt
found, his head between his paws, hil
eyes sad, but open in alert wstchful
ness, faithful and true even in death.
Then Vest sat down. He had spok
en- in low voice, without gesture
He made no reference to the evidenc,
or the merits of the case. When he fin
ished judge and jury were wiping thei
eyes. The jury filed out, but soon en-

Optimism.

When the optimist was dispossessed
and thrown, along with his household
impedlmenta, into the cold street, he
chuckled furiously.
"Why do you laugh, my friend?" in
quired n passerby.
Because l have just now been
emancipated from TOLL" replied the op-
timist. "For years my life has been
one long struggle to keep the wolf from
the door. But now that have been
deprived of the door no longer am
compelled to toll Sweet, indeed, are
the uses of adversity!"
Then the optimist walked off, whis-
tling gayly, into the sunshine.-New

A Task.

To be honest, to be kind, to earn a
little and to spend less, to make, upon
the whole, family happier by his
presence, to renounce where that shall
be necessary and not to be imbittered,
to keep few friends, but these with
out capitulation; above all, on the same
grim conditions to keep friends with
himself-here is task for all that a
man has of fortitude and delicacy.-

Drinking Water.

DIR. Kennedy, Secretary of the State
Board of Health, has the following in
the Health Bulletin, in regard to drink
ing water: 1--WE are satisfied that peo-
pie ordinarily drink tolittle water es-
pecially in the summer season. When
one considers for o moment the large
percent of water of which the body is
composed than two-thirds- land
the further fact this water Is being
thrown off from the lungs, kidneys,
bowels and pores constantly it would
seem that no argument was necessary
to demonstrate the above proposition
that too little water is taken into the
system to repair the loss.
The free use of water of proper tenn
perature uncontaminated water aids
digestion, regulates the bowels, is help
full to the kidneys, preserves the con-
tour Of the body and to q considerable
extent is fat producing. Water may be
taken alone or with liquid food, such
as broths, soups, etc.
There are many who seldom drink
water unless they are positively thirsty,
who would drink it much more freely
If it were modified in taste, as well as
in nutritious properties by the addition
of little unfermented grape juice, or
in the form of lemon or orsngeade. A
pot of hot water with a little sugar and
cream to remove the boiled taste, OBJ
jected to by 80 many, is great i'm
provement over tea, coffee or the much
lauded cereal drinks.
We believe that much of the benefit
that comes from visiting the most no.
ted watering places, is not go much be.

of the water itself Independent of any
real or alleged mineral properties, COM
bined with the rest. People 60 to drink
the water and to bathe in it, and they
drink 1t morning, noon and night and
between times and during the nights.
AS result the stomach, bowels, kid

We do not advocate the drinking of
large quantities of ice water since but

Dishonest bank officials have strong
friend in President Mckinley. Up to
the present time during his administra-

who have been convicted of crimes un-

leniency toward this class of offenders,

MECHANICS UNION TO BE
REVIVED BY HOME RULERS
Plan to Unite Labor Upon the Old Cry OF
Ant-Asiatics for the Purpose of
Doing Politics.

Working upon the same plans which
were followed a dozen years ago, the
men who at that time started and car
ried on the anti Oriental agitation are
now endeavoring to reform the Me-
chanics' Onion. The plan carries with
it the concert of the former members
of the union now in the executive COM
mittee of the Home Rule party, 10 the
end that delegates from the various
labor organizations ara thereby to
have seats in that committee.
The information coming from those
who took part in the anti-Chirase agl-
tation of the latter eighties, is 80 the
effect that there will be an effort made
at once to unite the various labor bod
les upon a platform Of opposition TO
the proposed bringing in Of any Chi
nese, for any purpose whatever. There
will be meetings held first OF the men
in the various trades, and then there
is projected a mass meeting to enter a
protest.
There is no feeling in this, accord
ing to the information received, except
the plan to manufacture political cap

SAYS he KNOWS
THE MURDERER
Man Visits Mrs. Lubeck and Tells
Her a Most improbable
Story.

The offer OF $500 reward for infor-
nation which shall lead to the arrest
and conviction of the murderer of
Herman Lubbock, has not as yet shed
any light on the mystery, and the po-
lice appear to be as much at sea over
the case as ever.
Mrs. Lubbock told a curious story to
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth on Sat
urday. She said that on Saturday
morning, a man who was stranger to
her, came to the house and inquired
about renting a room. The conversa-
tion turned on the reward offered by
the high sheriff, and Mrs. Lubbock
states that the man said:
Il know who did the job
Tell me who 1t was" said Mrs Lu-
beck
Il can't tell you yet" said the man.
but there was a woman mixed UP IN
it, and you know her well 1 viii be
here again tomorrow pnorning, and
not tell you more now" With that the
man took his departure, after hiring a
room for s. a month, which he said he
would occupy on Monday
Incidentally the stranger mentioned
that he vas In the employ OF Deputy
Sheriff Chillingworth. and that the
guilty person expected to get away by
the COptic on the 10th.
Mrs. Lubbock Immediately sent for the
Deputy Sheriff and told him what the
man had told her.
Chilllngworth says that !e has no
such man working for him e.ld is of the
opinion that hefs either ] freak or
fraud.

Chillingworth, as he unlocked his gun.
Just then the remainder of the party
returned and said that while retreatir @
before the COW. they had seen two or
three men make their escape out of
another cave; one by means of a lad
der leading to ledge. and the other
two by diving into the brush.
This cave was next visited, and a
lighted lantern taken In. Instantly
numbers of sparrows dashed them
selves against the light. and the Off
GERS had to hold their hands before
their faces to protect them from the
sharp beaks of the little birds. In the
crevices OF the cave were found nu-
merous nests.
In the caves were found many un-
nistakable signs OF recent habitation,
Scattered about were various articles.
such as japanese or Chinese spoons, a
bottle of medicine put up by a Japan
ese doctor: a package of rolled oats, a
sack of rice, some sugar and some
saeking which had evidently been used
for bedding purposes.
The men had gone, however. scared
doubtless by the deputy sheriff's chaI-
lenge to the COW. Outside the cave and
resting on ledge of rock, was found
a short ladder, by means of which
could be obtained easy and immediate
access overhead; this ladder had un-
doubtedly been used as a means of es-
cape whenever danger of discovery
threatened the inhabitants of the cave
The party returned to town about
4:S0 a. m. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff
ChillinEworth stated that from what
he hao heard ne had little doubt but
that one of the men who slipped cut
of his hands, owing to the untimely
incident of the COW, was Fujihara, the
HjlO murderer.
