BETRAYED BY A DOG.
sagacfcus Animal Guides Party to
Scene of Crime and Thus Com
victs TIE Assassin.

An Italian woodcutter has just been
sentenced to penal seryitude for life
for murder, and the conviction is due
to a dog. A carefully prepared plan
came to naught because of the animals
sagacity.
Cassinelli, the woodcu1er, was en-
ployed by a Frenchman, Jean Bonati.
They had had disagreement about
wages. One day last winter the wood
cutter appeared at the Bonati home
with his ak and asked Nine. Bonati
where her husband was.
She was surprised at his appearance,
and told him her husband had gone to
look for him in the forest. The wood
cutter disappeared, but came again
the next day, saying that he had spent
the day in the woods trying to find
Bonati and had been unsuccessful.
Alarmed by that, Nine. Bonati called
for aid, and searching party was or
gained. The Italian, who was familiar
with the forest, undertook to guide the
party, and they proceeded to traverse
the woods in all directions.
Bonati's dog, which had gone into
the woods with his master, but which
had returned the evening of the day he
disappeared, was with the searchers.
Finally the animal, in the heart of the
forest, suddenly left the party and
started in another direction.
The Italian was endeavoring to lead
the searchers in quite a different d.
rection, and he tried to call the dog
back, without success. The searchers
became suspicious, observing the man
ner of the man and the actions of the
dog. They decided to follow the ami
NAL, and as they turned aside the Ital-
ian burst into tears.
AS they followed the dog they saw
it run up broad slope and come to a
dense thicket. Into this it penetrated.
and the searchers forced their way in
after it.
When the dog saw that it had been
followed it began scratching at a
mound of dirt and leaves. Ready hands
soon came to it's assistance, and under
meath the pile was discovered the body
of the dead Bonati with ten great
knife wounds as evidence of how he
met his death.
Cassineli was accused of the crime
and brought to trial. Breaking down,
he admitted having killed his employ
er, but asserted that the fight had
been begun by Bonati and that he
used the knife to defend himself. His
description of the battle there in the
thicket was vivid and the jury, consid-
ering that there might have been ex-
tenuating circumstances, held him
guilty of premeditated assassination,
but placed the sentence at life impris-
onment instead of death.
The man after he had killed his en-
ployer had forgotten the dog, which
was the only witness to the crime.

NEAT HOME EXPERIMENT.
An Interesting Little Apparatus That
Is Made Chiefly of Empty Egg
Shells and StraYva.

The paper straws that are used at
most soda fountains nowadays are
more easily obtained, if you live in
the city, than real straws, and they
are also stronger and more reliable.
Or small glass tubes may be used. For
the shells goose eggs are better than
hens eggs, as they are larger and the
shells are thicker and less brittle.
The shells are emptied through small
holes bored in each end. A short
straw is inserted in one end of one
shell and pushed in nearly to the OPP
posite end, in which longer straw is
inserted and pushed nearly to the first
end. The other end of the long straw

HE FOUND AN OPENING.

Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco tells
of an untiring politician who demanded a
position. To escape him and kindred
men the mayor had hied himself to the
suburbs. And in the suburbs the APP
plicant halted the mayor, relates the Bos-
ton Post. The politician placed his cane
behind him and rested on it as a seat.
Better opportunity had never been pre-
scented for arguing his just claim. His
fdgeting caused the cane to move slight
ly. Yes, sir" said the Office seeker, II
am entitled to a position in the city's
service and am looking for an opening"
els there any kind of work to which
you are adapted?" asked the mayor.
The man took courage from the ques
ton and said that any kind of an open
ing would suit.
BY this time the mans unsteadiness had
brought the cane, which was bearing his
weight, precariously near knot hole.
The mayor thought. In expectancy the
applicant shifted his position. The next
instant he was endeavoring to follow his
cane through hole in the board walk.
There" said the mayor, very much re-
lieved, lis an opening for You. Try and
fill it; if you don't succeed, see the board
