DOG Knew His Business.

a certain office-holder decided to buy
dog. In reply to his advertisement Il
man called at his office with an intelli-

advisable to first inquire into something
of it's characteristics.
What can he do?" he asked.
"Oh, sir, be can do anything. fyouve

"By the way, I've just missed my glove,

The office-hoider held his hand to the
dogs nose and the animal trotted serene
ly of. Presently he returned, and with a
joyous wagging of the tail, deposited his
offering at the office-holder's feet.
At the same moment the click of the
typewriter in the next room ceased. A
girlish form appeared in the doorway.
"My sash ribbon" cried high sweet
voice, my sash ribbon! The dog has my

The office-holder's face turned dull

DO GOOd-It Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that
"Good deeds are better than real estate

Act kindly. and gently, show sympathy

a,e kind word and encouragement more
than substantial help. There are persons

The acquittal of Tillman in South
Carolina OF the murder of Editor Con
zales does not give very high idea of the
majesty of law and justice in that ancient
Commonwealth. The explanation made
is that the prosecution took on a polite
al character, and therefore no other re-
suit was to be expected. The Tillman on
trial had been lieutenant governor of the
State, and is "a nephew of the more famous
United States senator The killing of
Gonzales was -blooded, deliberate
and treacherous murder, and nothing else
can be made of it. The only defense at
tempted was that there was bitter and
revengcful feeling between the two men,
and if Tillman had not shot his enemy he
would have been shot by that enemy.
The proof of this was OF the fiimsiest
character and mcrited NO consideration.
The Tillmans of South Carolina have not
added much to the peace, comfort or en-
joyment of American life. Men who
oppose them in politics in their own
state do as at the peril of their lives, a
condition appropriate to a state of savage
ry, but having no part in civilized or
Christian community.-Pittsburg (Pa.)

Probably the most unique case ever
appealed to the supreme court OF Iowa,
will come up for hearing at the October
term, says an Iowa Falls letter. The case
involves the characters of a city mayor,
bioodhounds, chicken roost, the chief
of police, the. deacon of Methodist
church and sundry others. j. W. Nc
Clurg is deacon in the Methodist church
at Valley junction, a small place in Polk
county, and the owner of fine flock OF
fowls. 1t appears neighbor had lost
some of his chickens and an appeal was
made to the authorities Of an adjoining
CITY to track the thief with bloodhounds.
Several scents were followed but lost,
and the hounds were again and again
taken back for new cast. Finally they
struck strong scent and traced it to the
deacon's chicken house. The officers,
confident that the missing fowls had been
located, forced open the chicken coop,
but failed to find the stolen property.
Deacon McClurg brought action against
the city officials, including the mayor, the
chief of police and sundry municipal
magistrates, and claimed SEQ, 900 damages.
The lower court failed to find in the
deacon's favor, and so this appeal is taken
