place Legett could see that they were
members Of the National Guard off for
the eECamDment.
Legett guessed rightly that the boys
would probably be rather hot and thirsty
and pulling his outfit out TO the side of
the road he displayed his goods for
sale. As soon as the soldiers got "A look

in her mind who had the bad taste to bring dog to an afternoon tea. It happened, too, that, being lover of cats, she hated dogs.
 "Ah,' the lady remarked with evil dent effort, to one and another of her guests, Git is your dog?" and every one could see she was nervous. But no one claimed the dog, and at that mo- ment & second fox terrier rushed in, carrying the light of battle in his eye and barking madly. He was in pursuit of dog No. 1. It did not take long to find him, and then there began such a chase, and such an ear-splitting din, and such a frantic race over trailing gowns and patent feathers as to de- moralize utterly the hostess and the guests of that afternoon tea. gen. uine dog fight was imminent. To add to the excitement, a pet maltese cat sprang from a Turkish corner and joined in the stampede.
 "Who brought these awful dogs into my house?" shrieked the hostess, dodg ing this way and that to rescue her cat, but no one answered the question, and the exciting chase went on, over chairs and sofas, until the butler man. aged to head off the trio and eject them into the street. By that time more punch had been spilled over inn macu1ate shirt fronts and more scala ing tea upset into the laps of innocent matrons, and more foreign invective uttered by the numerous embassy at- taches present than the hostess cares to recall.
 It was learned later that the dogs belonged to the two families on either side of the officials home, and that there existed between them a feud of long standing. The terriers had es- caped bondage at the hour stated, and selected the scene of the afternoon tea to settle old scores. There is 8 cool ness at present between three big houses that stand in row.

A TEN DOLLAR LICKING.

The other day at Muscotah Profes- sor Sanders severely whipped the son of Frank Streeter That night Street. CT invited the professor to his house to talk it over. When the professor appeared Streeter knocked him down and gave him a beating. The next day Streeter was fined $1O for assault and battery, and the case was report ed in the Atchison Globe, which stat ed that the fine was only $1. Now Streeter writes a correction to the Globe which is different enough from the average "kick'' against wrong re- porting to be interesting. Streeter says the professor licked his boy and another boy a good deal harder than their offenses required, and then he adds:
 Some say that boy and my boy were both served just right. I will not ar que the matter, for the Globe probably has no time to settle that point. I ex- pressed my opinion forcibly, giving the professor dose of his own med1- cine, possibly too generous dose. He had me arrested for assault, l admit ted the charge and the justice fined me not S1. as your gossiper stated, but $1O and costs. I promptly paid the fine Some say it was too high and some say it was too low. The justice could not suit everybody, and am sure he didn't even try to suit me. Those who remember the Gray case in Atchison,, many years ago, when man was killed, and the man who killed him was fined $1 and costs, will remember that not everybody was sat isf1ed then. I do not complain be- cause the fine for assault in my case was higher than the average, but l don't like being credited with only $1 when Isknow paid $1O into the school fund. ."-Kansas City Journal.

Fierce Fires 1n the Catskil1s.

CATSKILL, N. Y., June 4.-The fire wardens on the mountain top have called out every available man in Haines Falls and, Tannersville to fight the destructive forest fire which broke out on the mountain side immediately back of Elka park. The fire Is raging flercely, and there are fears for the safety of the many fine summer cot tages in the park owned by a colony of New Workers. The tinderlike condi- ton of the woods and underbrush greatly hampers the fire fighters bat tling in the stifing smoke and dust and not infrequently suffering for lack of water to quench their thirst.

Hull Has Serious Fire.

OTTAWA, June A fire last night destroyed twentyeight houses in the suburbs of the city of Hull, opposite this city. A stiff wind was blowing at the time, and a serious condagration was threatened. Mindful of the disas- ter of 1901, this city was at once called upon for aid, but by the time the first engine from Ottawa reached the scene the fire was under control. The build ings destroyed were small dwellings owned by mill workers. The loss is es- timated at between $35,0O0 and S4O,- 900, with no insurance. One hundred homeless people are being cared for by the city.
