Why He Wa. shot.

All through the war, says the Inter
Ocean, = was very difficult TO make
the yolun; soldiers understand that
they were gailty Of any offense when
they left the army and slipped off for
a two or three weeks visit at home
They laughed at the idea that this was
deseftion
But after two or three experiments
o. this kind a man became reckless
II he could stay two weeks at home
why not stay two months, and if be
could stay two months, why not siS
months?
One poor fellow reasoned In this
way, and convinced himself that he
was doing his duty because he was
working to support his mother
When he was arrested as a deses1er
he laughed over the natter. and
laughed at the fears Of the boys when
he was returned 10 camp under guard.
But one niIeht there came an order
that this man De shot the next morn
ing at 10 O'Clock. This ceaped the
nists and doubts from his mind, and
be said 10 his old comrades that from
the minute that order was read 10
him he was new man, but not before
that minute had he realized that he
had been guilty Of any crime. He was
shot the next day In the presence of
hi brigade. and be died Ike soldier.

To the late Herbert Spencer the
minds Of lunatics had a strange fasci-
nation Mr.. Spencer was a frequent
visitor to number of asyIums, and
he would never laugh 50 heartily as
when recounting some unconcious
witticism Of lunatic.
Sometimes he would tell of the
criticism a lunatic woman made ON a
sermon that was preached in her
asylum This criticism was brief. but
it was telling.
ITO think" said the woman, point
ing towards the clergyman, Ito think
of him out and me in"
On another occasion Mr.. Spencer
and a friend were walking toward an
asylum they proposed to visit. Their
way led them across a railroad, and
seated near the track they saw a young
man reading. This young man was a
1unatic, but they did not know 1t at
the time.

DOGS AND THEIR NAMES.

Each Species Has a Distinctive and
Explanatory Designation.
One does not need to watch a dog to
know all about its nature. If the breed
to which he belongs is stated the aver.
age man can tell his nature to a nicely.
The spaniel is so called because the
original breed of this beautiful and
intelligent type came from Spain, and
the first arrivals in England were
called Spanish dogs.
The Spitz dog got its name from
its sharp pointed nose. "Spitz' means
"sharp point in German and the Spitz
was a farovite German breed before
he became known in England and
America. The Spitz is known also as
Dalmatian dog because his native
home is in Dalmatia.
The dachshund is another rGerman
breed and his funny name--almost as
long and funny as the dog himself
is a German name meaning Badger
dog" The original dachshund was
used foI drawing badgers and the dogs
still are great favorites among German
hunters, although the breed has be-
come a little too delicate for fighting
such gray old warrior as the badger.
The fox terrier earn ID his name not
from any fancied resemblance to the
fox, but because long ago, in the days
of merry England" these terriers,
much larger and stronger then, were
used everywhere by sportsmen <1i
drawing and killing the fox, thy being
sent down into his burrow. 1t is said
that no good fox terrier ever backed
out Of a burTow without his fox. II

drifting westward, he stopped In Illi-

Later he secured employment as a
brakeman ON the Dayton & Michigan
Railroad, where he continued to work
until the panic of 1871. Returning 10
the East, Mr.. Hayes settled in New
Brunswick, n. j., and again served as
brakeman, this time on the Pennsyl-
vania lines. He was thrown under
one of the cars and his right arm was
so badly mangled that amputation was
necessary. He turned his attention to
telegraphy, an occupation he followed
successfully until 1888. During this
year a strike occurred in the American
Union Telegraph Company, and for
the part he took on behalf of the en-
ployes he was blackli1. i'd has
never since returned TO the key. After
the failure Of the strike he became a
successful merchant in his home town

railroad company that Mr.. Hayes be-

active and aggressive in the cause of
the knights.
