ing one. Hours passed. The storm
increased until an awful bowling hur-
ricane with sleet and snow swept
every foot of the mountains and can
yons, and all hope for the return OF
either the man or the brave dog was
abandoned. However, at nine o'clock
that night Prince Leo's barking was
heard at the mine cabin door, where
he was found with his unconscious
burden. Once inside the cabin the
faithful beast refused to allow anyone
to touch his charge until he had sue
ceeded in licking the sufferer back to
consciousness. ......
And here's the story of common,
big, yellow dog, who has lately been
arrested. 1t is so-arrested by the
Mexican authorities charged with be-
ing a smuggler! This dogs owner, a
cunning Mexican, has for months
used the animal in evading the GUS
toms laws by tying to the dogs neck
a basket in which contraband goods
were placed. The canine was taught
to sneak with his load through the
river boskets and across the border
into the United States, thus escaping
the alert eyes of the government rid
ers who patrol the line. At last, how
ever, the animal was captured with
evidence of guilt in his basket, and
now he is in prison with his master.
Poor fellow! He only did what he
thought was his duty, but the law is
strict as to smugglers, and no doubt
this dog will be severely punished.
What child living in the cities is
there, asks the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, who does not despise the dog
catcher? Well, the other day one OF
these miserable dog-catchers took
from the door of poor family their
sole guardian and comfort, Zip, the
children's playmate, and dragged him
off to the pound, where he was to be
killed just because his owners were
too poor to purchase a tag for h1m
Pleadings at the pound ava1led not,
but an officer of the Humane society
heard of the occurrence, and after
looking into the matter and finding
that Zip was really useful as a watch
dog. interceded with the mayor, and
in consequence carried to the pound
keeper, much to the children's glee,
regular pardon for their companion,
who trotted home happy, bearing IN
his mouth huge bone which the ON
Ger gave him. This is, perhaps, the
first case on record where dog has
received an official pardon, regularly
signed and sealed.

THIS STORY HAS A MORAL.
It's About Little Stranger Who Now
Is "the INCEST Girl on Eukin
Street,

That's what they call Drusilla now,
the other little girls who live on Eukin
street-which isn't mentioned in the
city directory, but which is a real
street just the same. But when Dru
silla first came to live on Eukin street
the other little girls didn SO call her.
In fact, they called her that horrid
new girl" instead. And DrusilIa got
to near of it, somehow, and felt just
as unhappy as you or / would do in
similar case.
Now Drusilla isn't horrid she never
was horrid, never was anything but a
nice, sweet, sensible little girl. The
other girls only thought she must be
horrid because they didn't know her,
and didn't want to take anyone else
into their "set." All the other little
girls on Eukin street-which is such
a short street that nearly everybody
living on it knows everybody else
had known each other since they could
remember. They thought it would be
lust awful to have another little girl
walking to and from school with them,
playing on and about the lawns and
the empty lot they all shared in COM
mon during vacation season, taking
part in all the fun. Therefore they
snubbed Drusilla, without stopping to
think about it. When she walked
down the side of the street on which
they were playing they all crossed to
the other side; and when she shyly
smiled at them they just looked ugly,
instead of smiling back. In fact, jim
mic Murphy did say that he believed
his sister Annie put out her tongue
at Drusilla, one day, but Mrs. Murphy
said she could scarcely believe one of
her children could be so rude and i'll
bred as that And Annie didn't say
anything; only her cheeks were very
red.
It was the very next day that all got
acquainted with Drusilla, and it came
about so simply. The little pet puppy
dog that Jennie Crews was trying to
bring up ran away by itself and didn't
come back at ALL And Jennie almost
cried as the twilight darkened; it
did seem so awful to think of that
poor little, dear little, dog out alone
in the dark, hungry and cold, and as
miserable as could be. But Puppykins
never came back, although she called
and called lin, and all the other girls

TIMBER FOR FENCE POSTS.
Burr Oak Has Given Best Result, with
White Oak and Walnut as
Close Seconds.

The kind of ground that posts are set
in has much to do with the lasting of
the timber. Most post timber will last
much longer in clay or gumbo land than
in any other, and posts will last longer
in wet land than in dry-the land other
wise being of the same quality.
Posts in sandy, gravelly or loamy land
will rot off quickest. | have had con-
siderable experience in setting posts
and picket fences on our farm in the
Wabash river bottom. The pickets used
have been made nearly the size of ordi-
nary posts, only little wider one way
and little thinner the other than COM
mon fence posts. We dug a trench and
set the posts in Q 1t about 80 inches
deep, and from three and one-half to
four inches apart, so that the fence
would be hog-tight.
The fence so built was 260 rods long.
We found burr oak lasted best. | have
found burr oak posts on our farm that
were set SO years ago, and they are
good yet. White oak and black wal
nut are next best. White walnut made
from large trees is very good; honey
and other locusts are the poorest; we
did not try black locust. We have made
picket fences in order to keep the river,
when high, from washing the fences

KOCH DOES NOT RETRAcT.
Stands by His Guns in the Face Of

The conclusions of the British conf
mission do not appear to have fright

Chronicle the world at large learns that
the professor sees no reason why he
should alter his views because of the re-
port issued by the tuberculosis COM
mission. His own words are most en-
phatic:
Il see absolutely no reason to change
my view, arrived at after years of care

dence to prove that man can be infected
by animal tuberculosis in any than the
very slightest degree The commits
sion has only treated half the ques-

single man who has been so infected.
Prove to me that he has been so Ia

point of view. OF all the millions OF
men, women and children who est boz
vine flesh and drink milk, how is it
that no case is known where tubercu-
losis has been set up by the partaking
of infected beef and milk?''
This is the very question, says the
London Meat Trades Journal, we have
repeatedly put on record in our coll
umns, with the additional remark that
if any man, woman or child had ever
been certified as dying from tuber-
culosis caused by the ingestion of tu-
berculous meat, we should have heard
of 1t long ago. But there is no such
record. The chief point we have to
bear in mind, however, is that in this
country practically there is no legisla-
ton satisfactorily dealing with the
scientific economical issues surround
ing bovine tuberculosis; and to remedy
this the meat trades of Great Britain
have now bill before parliament,

MIDSUMMER.

In quiet pools the water sleeps
Beneath the sycamores;
Ard watchful heed the turtle keeps
Along the sandy shores,
Or suns upon the snagged log
Midway the placid stream,
Part yelled by misty, rising fog
Pierced by the sunlights CLEAN.
The cali of birds. anear and far,
Comes plaintiveiy or gay,
While on the fiat, Iow-lying bar
The snipe waits for it's prey.
In shadows fecked with light and shade
The redbird dips its wings,
And in some Ieafy, fern -fringed glade
The sweet-voiced lirnet sings.
Where stards the fence the woodbine
grows
Along the tortuous ways,
And on the lichen-clad fence-rows
The frisking chipmunk plays.
In timid yet alert dispatch
Down to the rivers brink
From out tangled brier patch,
A rabbit steals to drink.
And many a sycamore's green ball
Slow in the faint breeze sWays,
Above clear pools, whose depths recall
A joy Of boyhoods days.
The smell Of mint blows fresh and sweet
Adown the rivers way
And sweeter yet, the sense to greet,
The smell Of new-mown hay
Still onward, as llfe's checkered days,
In shadow and in sun,
'TWixt field and fallow's devious ways,
The road and river run.
o fair and peaceful river road!
o calm, slow moving stream!
Here burdened hearts may cast their load,
And wearied souls may dream.

Than like this restful scene
To have my life, morn eve and noon,
As tranquil and serene.
