fering intense pain, the little sufferer was finally taken by the police to the county hospital. But medical aid was of no avail, and after lingering and moaning for an hour she died soon after midnight. '3
 Sarah Solomon, says the Chicago Examiner, was a laundress. Only IA years old and yet she was compelled to do the work that mature and stronger women would have shirked.
 She labored until her strength had left her and then she decided to die In the morning she left home as usual to go to work. She returned shortly. before supper and told her father she had quit her place. s"~N .pA <,
 It's too hard work, papa" she said. ''I cannot stand it. I just work from the tfme'I get there until the whistle blows, and then I am so weak that it seems my head goes round and round. !"
 She ate sparingly at the evening meal, and when she had washed the dishes and cleaned up the room she spent an hour reading the papers in saarch of a more suitable place.
 Then she left the house and was not seen again until her father heard her pitiful moans in front of the house

Trfumph of a Duck.

t
 A little fox terrier elaborately deco rated with ribbons and bows was wis., itor at the Houston club, University of Pennsylvania, one afternoon just be- fore the close of the college term. He was accompanied by two fashionably dressed young women who were in specting the different apartments. While they were viewing the gymna- sium and bowling alleys in the base ment an old white duck, the mascot of the club, spied the dog, and. believing him to be entirely out of place, wad- dled forward to remonstrate The ter rier made an onset, and, dodging him, the duck plunged into the pool, closely followed by the dog. Here, however, the duck, being in her element, had the advantage of her opponent, and began pecking the dog on the head. The young women thought the dog would surely be drowned and pfteously begged some one to rescue it. Prof Kistler, the instructor in swimming, who was standing near, gallantly jumped in and pulled out the vanquished animal. The dogs owner thanked him profusely, and, taking her pet in her arms, quickly left the building. The old duck climbed sedately out of the pool. and, giving ut terance to a series of triumphant quacks. strutted around in a manner that plainly indicated her satisfaction.

"And Tn all the countries tRat you have passed through did you find no Jews or heath ens?'' the king continued Jews and heathens, the missionary admitted, were plentiful Then" said Menelfk to his guards, "carry this man beyond the frontier and let him not return un- til he has converted all the Jews and heather which lie between his country and mine.''

The other day there was a panic in one of the KohisSat 1unchrooms at Chicago, and incidentally pitched battle in which flying plates, cups and saucers figured prominently between the heads of customer and a colored waiter. The rough house" lasted only a few seconds and ended when the customer made nasty exit, and the waiter, an inglorious retreat to the kitchen.
 The customer ordered wheat bread, and the waiter served him with gra- ham bread.

FISHING BOAT FIRED ON.
Revenue Gutter S0mt Twenty Shots
 Into the Silver Spray.

Revenue Gutter sent twenty Shots
 Into the Silver Spray.
 ERIE, Pa, Aug. 13.-The Silver Spray a fishing boat owned here, came into port in a badly shattered condi. ton, due to an encounter in mfdlake with the Canadian revenue cutter Pet rel.
 The Canadian authorities have had trouble with American fishermen for years who were poaching on their side of the lake, and the Petrel Is kept con- stantly on the lookout for them. -z .,
 She came upon the Silver Spray on the Canadian side of the lake and at once ordered Captain Chris Schau to stop. The PetPel is strong steel craft and it is said attempted to ram the American boat before she gould com ply with the formers order. Captain Sehau, remembering the fate of several other boats from this side which had been captured and confiseated, two from Erie, only last season, decided to try to escape and started ahead at full speed. The captain of the Petrd, when he saw that the Silver Spray was try ing to get away, opened fire with all the guns he had on board, and before he ceased firing some twenty shots had struck her. One passed through the smokestaek into the pilot house, in which Chau stood at the wheeli and two mors struck the pilot house, one of which came wfthfn a few inches of him, scattering myriad of spftnters around hfs head. aa"
 The fact that no one was killed is simply miraculous, as four shots en- tered the cabin, two in the roof, three in the after hurricane deck and the others In various parts of the boat.
 The chase was kept up for some lit tie tine, and Captatn Chau was nearly in despair, as his cold water pump re- fused to work, and he was also afra6d that his boat might be struck below the water line and be sunk. He was very lucky, however, to get across the dividing line, and the Petre1 gave up the pursuit
 Captain Chau will report the affair to the state department at Washington, as he says he was only looking for some of his nets which4 had drifted from this side toward the Canadian shor2 .g.E% s.ys

 PORTLAND, Me. Aug. 13.-Neariy sixty miles of. cable has been laid in Casco bay during the past four weeks. and today every fort and every point of prominence within radius of ten miles of the harbor side of the city has been connected by telephone or guard ed by an immense electric searehhght in anticipation of the war game and joint army and navy attack on Port land Aug. p to %.
