THE DOG HAS RIGHTS.
st. Louis Judge Has Given Decision
In Which All boys Are Interested
More or Less.

A man in St. Louis named Abram
Simon has dog named Jupiter. An
other named Quinn has boy named
Willie. While Willie was trying to tie
a can full of rocks to Jupiter's tail,
Jupiter bit him. Then Willie's parents
brought suit for damage against MI
Simon before Judge Sidener. The
Judge dismissed the suit and made this
ruling about the rights of dogs-prob-
ably the first instance in which the
rights of any animal to resort to self
defense have ever been made the sub
iect of decision in court of law.
Any dog has legal and undeniable
right to bite any man, woman or child
who purposely and with intent to dis
turb said dogs tranquility and peace
of mind does attach or cause to be at
tached to said dogs tail tin can or
other weight which will impede the
progress of said animal. A dog which
bites its prosecutor in such case is
acting purely and honestly in self-de:
tense. and is as justly immune from
punishment as the man who strikes q
burglar in defense of his own life anC
welfare.
The next time you see a boy trying
to tie tin can to dogs tail remind
him (the bcy) of the dogs rights anc
II he will Lot let the dog alone have

the Bronx zoo. They took it down
and set it up again in tree in the
Bronx gardens. This was no easy
task, for the cumbrous home weighed
more than 400 pounds. -.
Instead of being made of straws
and feathers, like other birds nests,
the fishhawk's nest is constructed CT
sticks, pieces of broken oars and
splinters of wrecked boats. Slowed
away in the framework are often
found pieces of fish net, fish bones
skeletons of other birds, strands of
barbed wire, soles of old shoes, cor
set bones, remnants of clothing and
not few pearl buttons.
The tishhawk occupies it's nest only
one season, and if it returns after
the winter is over builds another
home. Oftentimes other birds in
habit the empty house, and in the
one found on Gardeners island there
were three blackbird's nests, each
containing pair of speckled brown
and green eggs. Some superstitious
people think. that an empty fish
hawks nest is haunted, for they say
that the tree in which it is built al
ways dies and the young of other
birds Matched there fall prey to
hawks before they grow up.

SPRAYING CORPORATIONS.
The Senator "spluttered" In H1A
Speech and an Umbrella
Wa Called For.

Senator Spooner told 4 story the other
day, in which the late Senator Ingalls, and
Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, tg-
ured. Van Wyck was making one of his
characteristic speeches in attacking cor
porations. He had peculiar style of de-
livery, and as he warmed to his subject it
was his habit to move restlessly from one
side Of the chamber to the other, contin-
ually talking. He talked SO fast that he
often 'sputtered," and senator's were care

Mr.. ingalls, and, Mr.. Spooner once sat
directly in front of "Mr. Punch" as Sen.
ator Van Wyck was often called, because
of his resemblance to chat noted character,
when he was delivering an impassioned ut
te-ance, and an atom Of spray rested upon
the hand of the immaculate ingalls,.
He adjusted his spectacles, carefully
inspected his soled hand, and deliberate
ly signaled for one of the pages to come
to him. Then in one of his famous whis.
pers, which penetrated the entire chamber,
Ingalls, said:
"Boy, bring an umbrella for Senator
Spooner and rubber overcoat for me-"
The incident provoked general laugh
ter, but it did not interfere with Van
Wyck's speech. He simply shifted his
position 50 as to get beyond range OF
his always faultlessly dressed and az.
cystic colleague.

What Education Will Do.

A railway company was erecting q
line of new poles along a highway.
One of the men engaged to fill in the
dirt and clear up around the piles was
an Irishman. He had not got beyond
his first pole, but stood'pondering how
to dispose of the dirt, which had filled
the space now occupied by the pole
His sense of the fitness of things must
have been strong, for he was averse to
piling the loose dirt around the base
of the pole, as is the custom. A negro
wayfarer stopped for match, and the
Irishman asked his advice. IF was
a-doin' dat job, I'd JUS dig hole bout
where you'ah standin' and shovel de
dirt into it. Much 'blige!" AS the
negro sauntered away, the Irishman
scratched his head and murmured:

BILLY HAD A LARK.
Runaway Pony Scattered Delicious
Batter Balls Along Half Q
Mile of Street.

Billy was beautiful bay-colorcd
pony. He was none OF your heavy,
slow-going farm horses that have to
be urged on their way. Not hel
Like swift deer he cleared the
ground, and horseback riding on Billy
was a delight. Everyone loved him.
He was so beautiful He would toss
his fine head and arch his neck in
such a saucy way when being har-
messed that one was sure he was
only waiting impatiently to be of
on gay canter. .....a3.- " 3-,t ~ z..n
One morning the weekly supply OF
butter was needed and Arthur was
asked to run over to the farmhouse
for it. He was just waiting his
chance to ride Billy, so he said there
was not time to walk before school,
SO he guessed he'd ride Billy over. *
Mother protested, but Arthur
pleaded, and so much time was lost
that mother saw that she must 60
without the butter or allow Arthur
to ride the colt. -,.,.f-.....,, 49,. ..
Billy looked very sweet and inno-
cent of any mischievous plan as he
trotted out of the yard at . very
mild pace. It was the first time
Arthur had ever been on his back,
and he sat proudly. The only thing
that made him realize that he was
not valiant knight on a prancing
charger was the tin butter pail on
his arm. f .. T. .s:..1 G.. !, =.
Arthur reached the farmhouse in
good time, and the empty butter pail
was exchanged for one filled with
half-pound prints of delicious yellow
butter.
Arthur started for home. Billy, in
fine feather, was cantering along
gayly. A few rods from the farm,
near the road, stood small black
smiths shop, where several men were
lounging about, waiting for the
'boss" to come and set them to work.
AS Arthur rode by one of the men
gave long, low whistle, which start
ed Billy on the round run. Arthur
was nearly thrown by Billy's. sudden
spring forward, and in his efforts TO
regain his seat and control the horse
the pail of butter slipped further up
his arm, the cover fell off and Billy
and Arthur went prancing through
the main street of the village, scat
tering balls of golden butter behind
them. ,-.-.
Everyone rushed to doors and win
dows at the clatter of hoofs, and
soon men and women, girls, boys and
babies started in procession after
the proud knight, who was scattering
gold in his path as he scampered by
on his proud steed. .D
When Billy dashed into the yard,
the last print of butter lay in the
road some yards behind him, and
mother rushed out to find a dishev-
eled rider, a painting horse, and all
the neighbors with all their children
congregated in her backyard. But
that was not the worst of it; she
found an empty pail. ~..'. t.-
Arthur had to walk back to the
farm for more butter, and he had
plenty of company on the way, who
thoughtfully pointed out the little
soft yellow heaps to him, lying at
intervals in the road.
But Billy? Well, he was not bit
penitent. He only smiled when they
led him in the stall and tossed his
head as much as to say: "That was
fine lark, wasn't it?'-N. Y. Trib.

OSPREY'S SOLID HOME.

It is good luck to have a fshhawk,
or osprey, as it is sometimes called,
build it's nest on ones farm. That is
what the farmers say, and although
the nest of this bird is as wonderful
and as full of odds and ends as an
ancient curiosity shop, they never
modest, it. It is only when some
d-blooded naturalist comes along,
who wants to get the scientific fasts
about everything, that it is possible
to learn about the home of the fish

Such a nest, says the New York
Tribune, was recently found on Gar

HOW THE TRICK IS DONE.

the process. Wood prepared in such
a way will not burn. To make the
trick more interesting and to avoid
the suspicion that the splinters are
prepared, mix them among other un-
prepared splinters after marking
them in certain way.
After burning a few splinters, pick
out one CT the prepared ones and de-
clare that by your magic influence
the splinter you hold in your hand
will become incombustible. Hand it
over to the audience, and it is easily
understood that nobody will be able
to set it afire-Boston Globe.

Old Auction ston,

An ancient custom has been revived
at Chard recently in connection with
the letting of the market tolls. Bid
ding progressed while an ordinary
sand glass was running out, and the
man who mado the bid while the last
few grains of sand were passing was
adjudged the purchaser. The last
time the custom was observed was in
1SS9.-London Mail.
