 With the brutes hot on her trail, it became rida for life with Miss Sullivan. She had with her small rifle, but the animals seemed so savage she dared not stop and give them bat tie.
 As she began to despair of saving her life she sighted the old sheep cor reaching it only when the pack was a short distance away, snapping and yelling with rage.
 To. enter with the pony and quickly close the gate behind her was the work of moment. As the gate swung into place the leaders of the pack threw themselves against it.
 Shaping and snarling with anger. the dogs tore at tha poles forming the stockade. but were unable to gain an entrance into the place of refuge. After recovering her composure and finding that she was safe, the girl be- gan shooting at the animals, which re- treated when she fired and returned to the attack when the rife was si- lent
 Miss Sullivan was found by her father and her brother, who had been seeking her. The dog pack disap' peared when the men approached. The girl had killed several of the animals.

MODERN ANTIQUITIES.
Systematic Forgeries Practscsd in Paris to Supply Demand
 for ReH0s.

The quest for things antique has led eo systematic forgery and imitation on the part of dealers. Paris is the great center of this deceitful industry, says the Nation. There has been discov- cred in the suburbs a thriving factory Hor the fabrication of Egyptian num- mics, cases and all These are shipped to Egypt, and in due time return as properly antiQnated discoveries.
 funny story is now current about a collector of medieval things. A cer- tain clever workman in stone made to the order of 8 dealer in medieval an uQuities Venetian chimneypiece of the fifteenth century, and received for his work some 2,000 or 5000 francs. The dealer shipped the chimneypiece to Italy, and had it set up in a palace near Venice, bringing back to Paris photographs of the palace and of the chimneypiece in situ. By means of these photographs he aroused the in- terest of rich collector, who sent his secretary to Venice to make sure that the photographs did not lie, and on his favorable report, bought the thing for 5o,000 francs. On the arrival Of the article at his house in Paris he sent for some workmen to open the cases. One of them appeared to go about the work rather carelessly, and he demonstrated with the man, who answered.: Have no fear, sir. know just how 1t needs to be opened, for I packed 1t when 1t left Paris"

The real democratic leaders in the next session of the senate, says our Washington correspondent, will be Culbersnn and Bailey, of Texas; Car mack, of Tennessee: Patterson, of Col orado, and Money, of .AA4ssissippi. There is no better equipped man in the senate than Culberson. He is essen tially lawyer, and it is the questions of the law and the constitution that he prefers, but he is perfectly at home in tariff debate. This is his first experience as a legislator, and he has not been as ready to jump into a de bate as has his brilliant and distin-t guished colleague, MT Bailey, who had ten years experience in the house be- fore he came to the senate. Senator Cukberson's past experience in public life has been confined to the executive department of governmental affairs as the attorney general of Texas and governor Of the same state He was twice nominated and elected attorney general, and twice nominated and elected governor, and elected, without opposition, to the United States senate as a tribute to his brilliant record in the former offices he had he'd. AS attorney general of his state he de tended the states rights in suit be- fore the United States supreme court, involving the validity to the title to Greer county, Texas, and his speech in the case before the supreme court was so brilliant that it called for the en- coGntums of the most distinguished men of therbar in the country. Chief Justice Fuller todd Colonel D. B.

Look out for these two young giants in the next congress.

The republican leaders are all at sea and absolutely unable to agree on what legisfation is necessary by the coming congress, says one writer. Pres ident Roosevelt demands that the Gu ban reciprocity treaty must first be at tended to. and says he will call an ex- tra session of congress for that pur- pose. The republican leaders In the senate are all opposed to reciprocity legislation, and Senators Alorfch Platt, Depew, Hanna, Quay and Spoomer have all advised him not to call an extra session this fall and they are all opposed to his policy. There is a like division of sentiment on the necessity for. financial legisla- ton and even those who desire a change in the law are hopelessly di- vided on the scope of the alterations that should be made. On the trust question the president has declared for publicity, but he is powerful slow i'm putting it into operation, and a majority of the republican leaders are for letting well enough alone, so anti trust Legislation will be at a stan0stilL There are respectable minority of the party in power who believe in some sort of tariff changes, and who are being pressed by their constituents to that end, but they will not meet with any success, unless they work in harmony with the democrats, which they will not do, and the most of them are talking only to fool the voters of the country. The republican poli- ticians are also at loggerheads over the Panama canal question. Many of the leaders are controlled by the trans continental railroads of the country, and really do not want any canal while others favor the Nicaragua route and in consequence there has been nothing done, and won't be dur ing the next session.

RODE FOR HER LIFE.
Thra1ltng Experfemce of a Pamcky Montana Girl vxath a-Pack of
 Wud Dogs.

Chased for more than mile by a pack of wild dogs, apparently cross between the common dog and the wolf. Miss Gertie Sullivan, daughter of a sheepman living on Birch creek. IS miles from Havre, Mont.. escaped only by spending the night in an old corral and picking off the animals now and then with rife bullets.
 Miss Sullivan was riding her pony across the prairie when she saw some distance away, perhaps twenty anil mals, which at first glance she took to be coyotes, says the St. Paul Pio- neer Press.
 As they came nearer, evidently in pursuit of her, the girl saw they were

Cleveland Refuses to Discuss
His Possible Candidacy.

Princeton, May l. Ex-President
Grover Cleveland reached his home last
evening somewhat fatigued by his jour
ney from St Louis but highly pleased
with the demonstrativew welcome accord
ed him in the west
In the course of a conversation, Mr..
Cleveland was given half a dozen op-
portunities to declare his attitude to-
ward the presidential nomination of 1904,
but he skilfully parted all questions
bearing directly upon his own political
future or that of his party. If he re-
CARDS himself as permanently out of the
field of available presidential candi-
dates he studiously refrained from say
ing so or even from limiting that he
prefers the classic retirement of his
Princeton home to a re-entrance into
the activities of public life.
You must have observed, was said
to him. that SUCH an ovation in Mis-
souri, is now peing interpreted as
making YOU a formidable factor in the
next presidential campaign

the suggestion were not at all displeas-
ing to him, but he was on his guard in

ment OF the superiority of salaried men.
At K u. the boys had the game well
in hand but went up in the air in the
last innings and lost the game by a
narrow margin. The Creighton team
put up an excellent article of ball and
though it lost by the close score of two
to one made one of the most exciting
games of the series.
A gratifying feature of the teams
playing is the individual batting of the
players. Gill leads with an average of
more than 325. closely followed by Mehl.
Pressy and Johnson. At the beginning
of the trip the men secured few hits,
but they have rounded into good form
and are batting ike regulars. Gill
made an enviable pitching record on the
trip, winning every full game that he
was in the box.
The next college ball to be played on
the home grounds viii be against
Creighton college from Omaha on Wed
nesday and IN view of the closeness of
the last weeks game the argument
ought to be very interesting.

FULTON WAS WRONG.
Not All the Wheat Around Alva Is.
Gone.

At any rate not all the wheat on the
prairies of Oklahoma has been killed by
drought.
A week ago the State Journal pub
lshed an interview with W. S. Fulton
of Alva. Okla. who was of the opinion
that without rain within the past week
the wheat crop would be practically a
failure. Oklahoma has had little rain
during the month past and the northern
part in particular is beginning to show
somewhat the effects Of the continued
dry weather. But that fife wheat is
killed is being indignantly denied by
the ewspapers and the real estate men
of the territory who say that oklahoma
can go dry for another month without
losing their crops.
The state Journal today received
from G. F. Mcknight Of Ava pack
age containing four or FIVE stools so1
wheat. each of which held eight to tif-
teen stalks of wheat nearly two feet IN
length All of it was fresh. green and
well developed and looked like real Kan
sas wheat except for the little c1ods OF
red Oklahoma soil that chung TO the
roots. Manifestly all the wheat around
Alva had not turned yellow, as descrio-
ed by Mr. Fulton There Is one consola-
ton for the bread eaters of the world
