SAVED BY HIS DOG.
Bruno Brought Relief TO His Master
who Was Buried Under -
Load of Wood.

Frank Mullen. wood hauler, of Jop-
lin, Kan, has his faithful dog to thank
for his life. He was hauling wood from
Shoal creek, near Joplin, one day last
month, when his wagon partially broke
down under big load. He had to crawl
under the wagon to make repairs. He
knew it was dangerous, but he took the
risk. While he was working the wagon
completely gave way, and Mullen was
buried under a pile Of cordwood. He
was not hurt, but was imprisoned so
he could not escape He was in Sc
cluded part of the wood, and his chances
seemed good for starving to death
Finally he bethought himself of his dog
Calling him-"Go home, Bruno!" he
commanded The dog obeyed, and the
morning after the accident occurred
Mrs. Mullen, who had worried all night
about her husbands absence. was at
tracted to the door by the dogs scratch
ing and bowling. When she opened the
door she noticed he had bad cut on
one of his shoulders. He had been hit
there by stick from the falling load.
Mrs. Mullen, who had worried all night
and, ordering the dog to return to his
master, set out, following him. The
! dog led her directly to where Mullen
was, several miles distant, and, with
the aid of the man who accompanied
her, Mrs. Mullen was able to extricate
her husband. IIe was half starved, bui
unhurt.

the animal trainer, eXtricat-

She's very playful, Babe is" he
added, somewhat breathlessly, which
was natural, for Babe and her mate

You see, she's only half as old as Basil,

Babe was stamping her foot, just
like an infant, and demanding more

ted her on the trunk and said: II guess
she won't be contented now till Evan
comes around. He's my son, you know,
and he can do more with these two fell
lows than can"
So he sailed forth to find Evan, and
his visitors went with him, expecting
to see a big, husky animal trainer like

ground, rose again, tumbled somewhat
after the manner Of tumbler pigeon,
and in this way proceeded for some
distance, zig-zagging UP and down, as
though bereft of his senses. And per-
haps he was, for wiser creatures than
marsh hawks do funny things when they
are in love. After doing his acrobatic
turn" he sailed gracefully away
The nest, which | found in May, was
made chiefly of coarse grass and twigs,
on the ground near the river. There
were four eggs in it, Gull white, about an
inch and three-quarters in length. and
we'll rounded. The next time | visited
the nest, the young birds were hatched-
beautiful, bright-eyed little fellows, COW
cred with white down, and with black
bills and yellow legs. At first they knew
no fear, but soon it came to them, as it
does to most wild things, and one day.
when their pin-feathers had started,
they greeted me by throwing themselves
on their backs and striking at me saw

The last time I visited the nest, the

me when approached, leaped from their
home into the surrounding grass and
hoped away rapidly in every direction
with their long wings raised high in the
air to steady them as they bounced along
left them to regain their composure
When next saw them they were able
to shift for themselves. Sometimes they
might be seen alightlng upon stakes neal
the water, but usually they were skim
ming over the open country, making
things warm for the mice and other small
creatures which inhabit the marshes.

THE MARSH HAWK CHICAGO POST OFFICE
How He Hunts and How He Lives,
and Way Young Are Raised.
The NntGrnIi5t Drops In on the Bird
While He Is COurting, aud Is
Entertained by His wild
and Amusing Antics.

One afternoon in early spring, | was
walking across the low-lying land ex-
tending along the borders of river.
Before me lay wide eXpanse of open
country, chiefly grassy meadow, with
here and there little hillocks, which
stood out somewhat higher and
greener than the surrounding sod. Sud
denly there swept past me, in easy,
graceful fight, long-winged, ash-gray
bird with large white patch upon its
rump; male marsh hawk, hunting.
Quite low he flew, sometimes so close to
the ground that he famed the tall grass
blades, sometimes skimming lightly
over clumps of bushes, rising and falling
as though he rode upon the crest OF
gentle ocean swell. For half q mile,
perhaps, he continued on his course;
then, coming about with infinite grace,
he bore down upon me again. Back and
forth he circled "quartering" the coun-
try in way which proved his title to the
name Of "harrier." All this time his
bright hazel eye was searching every
clump of weeds, every hollow in the
grass, every twig of the leafiess bushes,
tor sign of his living prey. Presently
he caught sight of that which he sought,
for he checked his onward flight, and for
an instant hung fluttering in the air
Then lightly he dropped into the grass,
where lightning stroke laid low
meadow mouse, whose soft, fat little
body offered scarcely any resistance to
these talons of rapier steel. The bird
did not fly off with its prey in its claws,
as a sharp-shinned hawk would have
done, nor did he stop to deyour the mouse
on the spot, as have often seen marsh
hawk do; it picked up the little rodent
with it's feet, and by a series of long
leaps through the grass, it reached a
rather more secluded spot, where it be-
gan to tear its victim to pieces.
About week later, I was walking
over the same open country, and again
| saw my old acquaintance the marsh
hawk This time, however, he was not
alone, for in his company there was
a somewhat larger bird, dark umber
brown on the back, and with reddish
streaks on the head. This was his
mate, and, despite the difference in col
oration, she had the characteristic
white patch on her rump. 1t was the
courting season, and, as I was anxious
to see the manner in which the marsh
hawk courted his bride. | hid myself
| in ditch which drained the meadows
/ and waited. For an hour, perhaps
nothing unusal happened, and l haC
begun to fear that my patience was nc
| to be rewarded that day, when suddenly
| the male bird foated into view, and be
/ gan a series of evolutious such as haC
heard of, but never witnessed before

He walked into the grocery store with
a slip of paper in his hand, and the gro

The grocer made out the bill, Won

and handed it to the boy, asking as he did
so:
"Dld your mother send the money, OF

The boy seized the bill and said with
a sign of satisfaction:

Removal of Mr.. Cobb Revives inter
est in Great Federal Building.
Present State of WorIS-wiTI BE Fin
tshed in April, 1OO5-Interesting
Comparison with Erection OF
other Large Buildings.

The building of large public build
ing such as that of the new post Of
fee now being constructed at Chicago
is apt to be punctured by full stops,
eXclaimers and question marks. In
other words, there are generally long
delays in the completion of the work,
much criticism and many and awlk-
ward questions asked. The summary
removal OF the chief architect, Henry
Ives Cobb, by Secretary Shaw, has re-
minded the city of Chicago and the
country at large that a great and cost
ly government building is being con-
structed there. 1t is so long ago since
the Chicago post Office spread it's camp
on the lake front that the employees
and the people Of the city have about
accepted the squatty building as a per-
manent location.
Chicago has had to wait for her
new federal building, and will be
forced to continue the waiting attitude
for many long month. Those in a
position to know, declare that the
/ building will be completed by April 1,
1905 but others who are also familiar
with the operations, think that it is
impossible, as there has been no pro-
vision made for heating the building,
and the work of finishing the interior
will have to stop during the cold win
| ter months.
An abbreviated history OF Chicago's
new post Office building is as follows:

lnnA44X52zs ttB autumn girl Is the pest
l4SHA of all the girls, healthier,
k1N handsomer even than the
SAY#gly summer girl. And it pays
r=SSfaSaz to buy her clothes, for, with
her bright eyes and red
brown cheeks, she sets them off so
we'll.
The athletic girl, in her reaction
from Observation-Disclosures days,
for awhile went to the extreme of not
caring very much how she looked,
what she wore. But gradually
change has come over her, and now
she shows careful thought for her ap-
pearance.
Instead of choosing some dowdy,
worn-out old thing in which to array
herself for her sports, she selects suit
able cut and material for the gown in
which she plays her games. Perhaps
she spends more time and money on
field clothes than on her ball gowns,
and we believe she would be wise to
do so, for they appear in the garish
light of day, when defects are painful
ly visible. The "magpie" combina
tion (our old friend. blael-and-white)
the golf girl will probably select this
fall for her costume on the links, and
somewhere about the costume there
will undoubtedly be visible a dash of
cherry red or a bit of oriental en-
broidery.
In golf costume, the skirt is of
/ paramount Importance. as the player
usually discards her jacket when fol-
lowing the ball from hole to hole. But
the coat when finally donned, should
be one that need not shame the wear
er. The suit here pictured is one of
the seasons best; the skirt with it's
trim fit and straight lines; the plaits
Of the coat matching well with the
skirt, and the modish black belt and
stock adding very good touches. The
white felt hat with the black velvet
and black quill, complete the mag
pie" effect
. All summer we have had the open
work embroidery, and still have con-
tinuation on the wool stuffs for fall
and winter Oriental and also a sort
of padded, raised embroidery, will be
popular, much of which can be copied
by sllillful fingers at home. Jet will
be used again, but perhaps not as free.

CHIcAGO'S NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING AS
IT APPEARS TO-DAY.
1895. Possession given to wrecller of
the old building, April 1896. Substruc-
ture begun July, 1897. Substructure
completed August, 1898. Contract for
superstructure awarded to John Peirce,
April Z, 1898. Possession of premises
given contractor, September, 1898.
Work begun spring of 1899. TwsNty-
five PER cent. of building finished March
10, 1901 Date of completion at rate
of progress, 1907. Date of completion
required by contract, January, 1902.
Contract price of superstructure, ST.
$4,000 Allowed by congress for in
terror finish, $1,20O,O0O.
Our illustration shows exactly ths
progress which has been made on the
building to the present day. The ex-
terror is practically finished, the only
work remaining to be done is some
carving on certain portions of the
stone work. But the structure is moth
ing but a great, gaunt, bare shell Of
stone and brick and iron. The in
terror finishing has hardly begun. Pre-
iiminary work on the building was be-
gun in March, 1895, when the secretary
of the treasury engaged experts to pre-
pare plans and specifications. Con-
gress voted 100000 for this purpose.
The cost of the building up to the pres
ent has been S2,946,702, for foundation
and exterior construction.
The interior is to be finished in ma
III -.
Late last year it was discovered that Of
the S4,O00O00 which it was proposed
to spend on the structure, but 81, ,G53,-
POS remained for the interior finish and
decoration and heating and lighting
apparatus, and elevators, etc. This
was not sufficient, and it was proposed
by the architect to finish in cheap
wood as a substitute for tho mahog-
any and plaster for the marble But
about this time the congressman from
! Chicago got busy and congress was in
/ duced to vote an additional $3.50 900 to
! finish the building as the original spec
/ ifications called for. That it will
be a beautiful structure when finished
/ there is no shadow of doubt. But there
is hope that the present generation will
live to see it completed is evident from
the present shake-up and activity.
1t is interesting to note in connec-
ton with the building of the Chicago
post Office the construction of some
other great buildings in Chicago
While the foundations of the post of.
flee were being dug the Fisher BUILDING
shot up 16 stories. In the time con.
sumed in covering the steel work The
Marshall Field building, a magnifcen
structure of steel and marble and the
finest interior finish, was rushed tc
completion, and since the construction
of the post Office building was begu1
