family bessie, and he says Beau will
scamper away to the meadow, pick the
Marker COW out of a herd Of twelve or
fifteen cows, and drive the animal home
as well as any of the collies can do. If
the COW tries to go the wrong way,
Beau rushes in front of her, squealing
like a steam siren, and the bessie in
dismay turns about and goes in the
right direction. If squea1ing has no eff
feet on the COW, then Beau flies at her
and bites her ankles until the COW
finally surrenders and consents to go
peaceably home. Mr.. Marker says that
the crOWning sorrow of Beau's other
wise happy existence lies in the fact
that he cannot bark like the collies can.
He used to make frantic efforts in this
direction, and always appeared mex
pressibly shocked and grieved that his
best attempts only resulted in dismal
squeals.
Finally he accepted the situation
philosophicaIly and is now more con-
tented with his lot. Too much so, in

with a sponge and gives it careful
wash. Beau Brummel will even refuse
to touch his morning meal. no matter
how hungry he is, until he has had his
matutinal bath.
Mr. Marker took the pig away from
the rest of its kind when it was only
& few days old and had it brought up
on a bottle in a respectable Gordon
collie family. The mamma collie, after
few days of elaboration. adopted the
pig a a member of her family, and has

Shawnee Mills to Be Run by Electric
Power.

A motor of 125-horse power viii operate

J. J.. SheIlabarger stated this morning
that if the Shawnee mills find that the
experiment is a success it is probable that
the other big flour mills of the city viii
also adopt electricity instead Of steam as
the motive power for their immense es-
adjustments.
The Shawnee mills is the only large
Touring mill in the state which will use
electricity and is one Of the few in the
whole country.
The present boilers and engines of the
Shawnee mills will be retained in position
so that in case it should be desired to
revert to steam the company will be in q
position to do so without much trouble or
expense. The only change which will be
necessary in the present arrangements Of
the machinery is to connect the electric
motors to the proper gearings.

fused a writ of habeas corpus to J. T.
Barnes for the custody of his six-year-
old son, Herbert Barnes, who is now in
the care of William johnson who lives

bright, curly headed little fellow and
seems to be Clearly kept and warmly
clad, while his own parents and two or
three brothers and sisters show all the
signs of unkempt poverty.
Six years ago Barnes was sentenced
to the Missouri state penitentiary for
some offense and his wife was left in
poverty. Shortly after the fathers in
generation the child was born and the
mother was forced to take it to a coun-
ty poor house. When it was four
months old the baby was turned over
to Johnson, whose wife is a sister of
the little boys mother and the uncle
has since had him in his care although
the mother contributed to his support
for a short time. The evidence in the
case shows that after Barnes release

FROSTY FOR GALLANT NAN.
Gave Up His Seat, but the Roof
Leaked Water.

In certain trip of a North river

be seen nearly every evening hurrying
into the forward part of the women 5
cabin and taking a seat, only to re-
Hnquish it with a bow and a smile
to some pretty girl when the other
seats are filed
So intent was he on a recent stormy
evening watching for an attractive
woman to whom he might offer the
seat that he did not notice a leak in
the roof of the cabin that was sprink-
ling his hat.
Presently a stunning girl came with
the crowd AID the gallant commuter
arose and graciously bowed her into
the seat. Pit, pat, came the rain
drops on the Woman's tOque, and,
frOWning at the smiling gallant, she
got up and pressed through the crowd.
The commuter seemed puzzled, but
he resumed his seat, again oblivious of
the leak, and in a moment offered his
place to another woman, whose smile
of thanks vanished quickly as she set

at the man and moved away.
Still falling to observe the offending
leak the commuter dropped into the
seat and plunged into his evening pa

wet blotches which the rain soon made
