A dog that curled in his masters

was almost human and all but spoken.
As Raymond writhed in pain the dog
lay in his masters arms on the Oper-
ating table and licked his hand Being
small and refusing to be dislOdged he
was allowed to stay and through the
trying ordeal. while the wound was
washed and dressed and the bones set.
the strange witness to a surgical eOper-
alton remained at his post.
Raymond is employed at the livery
stable of Kane & DAILY at Webster and
Fourteenth streets and about 8 o'clock
this morning rode a horse out of the
stable on an errand. AS he was turn
ing the corner at Fourteenth and HaF-
rison streets a peddler's wagon ran
into him and the pointed end Of the
shaft struck Raymond just below the
left knee. The blow broke both bones
in the leg and made a hole almost as
large as a dollar deep in the leg. Ray
mOnd was knocked OF his horse. but
the man in the wagon drove rapidly
away without stopping to inquire what
injury he had done.
Bystanders summoned the police
patrol and the injured man was re-
moved TO the Receiving Hospital The
dog followed the wagon and when Ray

room the dog followed. He eluded an
attendant who endeavOred to put him
out and jumped up on the table, where
he curled up and lay still as a stone.

audacity to resist our advance. We

During the Irish week at the st.

the Ancient Order of Hibernians will
be in session, the most important ath-
letic events in the history of the
country will take place. No games
held in st. Louis for many years have
attracted the widespread attention
that the Irish games have, and up to
the present moment John ]. Connor.
president of the Western Association
of the A. A. u, who has charge of
these sports, has received applications
for entry blanks from nearly every
state in the union, besides requests for
information regarding the rules of
competition, and especially in regard
to the rules that govern the weight
events.

Up to few months ago Gurgan of Ire
land, claimed the record for the six

the Irish team of New York, holds the
record for the discus throw, the classic
sport Of the ancient .Atllenian days.
And now comes to American shores
Thomas Kiely of Carrick- -on-Suir, Ire
land, holder of seven worlds records
for throwing heavy stone, both for
height and distance, and winner this

will be presented ut this meeting. With
the execution of the Hammer and dis
Gus throws, as the fair grounds is not
Il safe place to hold these two events,
and in their stead the running hop,
step and jump and sack race have
been added. The hop, step and jump
was formerly one of the best con-
tested and most admired of tho field
sports of the 4. A. u, and is known
in Ireland as the hop, skip and jump.
In this event many old-time athletes
will compete, and many of the new
material that is now out in st. Louis.
The event was on the program at the
first Olympiad held ut Athens, and was
won by an American, James Il. Con-
molly, of the Suffolk A. c., Boston.
In order to entertain ST. Louis Gu

tertainlnent for the local firemen and
policemen. y new feature has also
been added to the Hibernian games in
the way of outdoor wrestling. Three
events have been placed upon the pro-

Cost of Food in summer.

In summer there is less animal heat
to be produced and the food required
is consequently less in summer than
in winter. If all who keep fowls would
consider this fact, and never overlook
1t, there would not only be a saving
in the cost of food but the fowls would
thrive better. The summer food need
not be so concentrated, but should con.
tain more bulk. Where birds are cor.

feeding, not because enough may not

ton to give too much. When at lib.
erty the fiocks will sometimes thrive
better and lay mor eggs if given nc
food at all other than that secured
on the grass plot, but in confinement
the food must be provided, and it will
be safe to use green food and lean
meat, allowing little or no grain when
the weather is very warm. The refuse
vegetable tops, small potatoes, chopped
grass or any material that will serve
the purpose, may be cooked together
and thickened with ground oats. which
will make a cheap and no%urishing fooG
for the fowls in summer, as they dc
not demand as much concentrated
food during tile warm season as ir
winter. If it is not convenient to cool
such, then chop the materials to q
