DOG THAT CAUGHT FISH.
"Rex" Was Having a Good Time TAX
ing Them Out, But Was Pun
ished for His Fun.

Last summer took my big collie Rex
and went up in the Catskill mountains
to big hotel where lots of people came
to enjoy the fishing near by. Right past
the house ran brook, in which people
could catch trout, but this brook be-
longed to the hotel keeper, and only
the guests of the hotel were allowed to
fish in it, says a writer in the Washing
ton Star.
Rex liked to go out walking with me
in the woods. Sometimes he would
catch a squirrel or woodchuck, and
one day I discovered that this naughty
doggie knew how to catch other things
besides.
I was sitting down upon fallen log
near the trout brook. Rex had just run
off after a squirrel, and so I was all
alone. Pretty soon I heard a crash
ing noise in the tree, and began to get
scared, for was afraid it might be a
tramp. Then a man came striding
through the bushes and was very glad
to find it was Mr. Wardell, one of the
hotel people.
''Miss Lynn" he said, "do you know
what Rex is doing?"
s'No; what?" I asked.
catching nSIi, ud am, just come ana
see''
He carefully helped me over the
fallen logs till we came out on the bank
of the stream. And what do you think
I saw?
Rex was standing on some fiat stones
In the middle of the brook, looking
down into the water. On a stone beside
him lay four or five dead trout. AS he
watched his head suddenly shot for
ward, his jaws snapped quickly; then
he lifted trout in the air, gave it a lit
tie shake, and laid it down on the pile.
''The rascal" I cried 'tCome here,
Rex" And he came trotting gayly
through the water. He never looked
back for the fish. Heshad only caught
them for fun. Mr.. Wardell promised
not to tell the hotel keeper, then we
whipped Rex and tied a dead trout to
his collar to remind him of his naughti-
ness. My, how ashamed he looked.
Since that time Rex has never touched
a fish, not even one that was cooked.

Engraving Glass with Ge1atine.

A singular property of gelatine,
when spread upon glass, has lately
been experimental with by the French
chemist, Cailietet. When a thick layer
of strong glue, that has been allowed
to dry upon a glass surface, is de-
tached, it carries off scales of glass
and leaves designs resembling those of
frost on a window-pane- Polished
marble and quartz are similarly al
tackled. With glue containing six per
cent of alum NJ Cailletet produced
five designs, resembling moss in tex
ture. Hyposulphite of soda and nitrate
and chlorate of potash, added to the
glue, produce analogous effects. The
glue while drying exerts a powerful
mechanical strain.-Youth's Conn

sut-she May BE Pardoned.

A. recent dispatch from Lansing
said: Jessie Morrison will arrive at
the Kansas penitentiary from Edo

changed. She gaye>the name of her
father on both the other occasions.
Miss Morrison will find a change in
hansling woman prisoners since she

ings, but instead, the chaplain goes

brief religious services. When Miss
Morrison enters the women's ward

not leave it for 25 years unless she is
pardoned. If she is i'll she will be

Regarding Ex-senator Harris.
1t is understood that ex-senator

until President Roosevelt selects the
membership of the Isthmian Canal
| commission, which is expected to be
named some time in June or July.
| If Col. Harris is not named one OF
| the commissioners he will return to
Kansas and there take up a perma-
nent residence and very likely engage
in live stock raising. At present he
is not the owner of any Kansas prop
erty since he disposed of his stock
farm at Linwood, Leavenworth coun-
ty, about a year ago. Just where
Col. Harris may locate in Kansas in
the event of his return, has not yet
been determined.
