Relief Should Come Quickly.

E. II. COburn, 9th Mass, Pepperell,
Mass, says that he is now in his 73d year,
and he knows whereof he speaks when he
says that whatever Congress intends to
do should be done as soon as possible. He
believes that an allowance of from $1j
to $1S per month for every veteran past
70 years old would be simple justice.

covered that the foremost of them had
reached within less than 40 yards of us.
Had it not been for the dogs watchfuness
n very few minutes would have sealed our
fate, and this tale would never have been
told. That dog enjoyed most luxurious
breakfast on that morning-and oh! how
hugged him!
And now l must confess a most grievOus
misdemeanOr OH my part, for which l have
not forgiven myself TO this day, nOtwith-
standing the many moral and mental kicks
l have administered to myself since the
occurrence, which was as follows:
The roads being dry we started during
the early morning hours on the lower or
valley road which leads to Tubac, for the
most part along lthe river bottom. All
along this route there are many mesquite
trees, among which innumerable wild doves
flew hither and thitlier. In order to guard
against any SURPRISE from the Apaches, as
well as TO provide some fresh meat for the
camp kettle, took my shotgun and walked
among these mesquite trees on either side
Of the road a short distance ahead of the
wagon, bagging few birds now and then,
but always taking care to have one barrel
ready for emergencies. Breech-loading
shotguns had not come into use yet, at
least not there. While thus hunting and
watching, our faithful dog, who was
good retriever, would frequently get be-
tween my legs when he was bringing in
the fallen birds. l was Just walking
towards the foot of rather tall tree, in
whose branches l had seen several dozen
doves settle, in order to approach within
shooting distance. In order to do this l
had to describe q continual zig-zag, so as
to evade the numberless tall tufts of bunch
grass growing everywhere. Just as l was
making a side step the dog got between
my legs and caused me to stumble and fall,
with the result that the gun went off into
space-I mean the ammunition, of course.
This so exasperated me that l admins
tered severe kick upon the dogs

off into the underbrush, where he was soon
lost to view. No amount of searching and

PlTIABLE CASE.
Illness Reduces a Young Mechanic to
Sore Straits.
From FRIDAYS Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
A young man was at the city hall this
morning emaciated and hardly able to
stand on account of illness. He said that
he had just come from Omaha, to which
place he had gone from Cchicago seek
ing work at his trade of engineer. He
found work, but because he aid not be-
long to the union he was not allowed to
take the job offered him. The fee for
joining the union is $40 there and he had
not the money to join. He left his wife
and baby there and came to Mankato
without cent. A business man came
to the city hall, looking for man to do
some work, and this one offered his SER
vices. Seeing his weak condition, the
business man inquired the cause, and
learned that the stranger had had no
breakfast. The merchant took him to
restaurant and ordered a breakfast for
him. and told him that if he was able to
do the work wanted to DO it, otherwise
that it would be all right. This kindly
act won for the merchant the silent
praise of all who knew of the circum-
stances

old Cathedral crunhIinn.

Reports received in Rome from VI
cenza, in the Venetian province, show
that the authorities are in fear that
the cathedral at that place is in seri-
GUS danger of falling. About a year
ago large cracks in the walls were
covered over with glass in order to
test whether the damage was station
airy or not. The other day the glass
coverings were snapped asunder, and
it was found that the yawnipg aper.
lures had grown bigger. The columns
supporting the central nave are alarm.
ingly out of the perpendicular. The
architect Moretti has had the edifice
closed toathe public, and has issued
a pressing appeal for funds. The ca
thedral. which possesses very fine
central doorway of white marble, was
built by the franciscan friars toward
the close of the thirteenth century.
