when it comes down in the pan it will be with the cooked side up, and to do this well requires experience. Some times while the cake or f1apjack was turning in the air the wind would catch it and it would light on the ground in- stead of in the pan-that fiapjack, bro- ken and gritty with sand, was Pete's. And he would solemnly and wistfully sit by the fire watching the cooking Of the flapjacks, and waiting for the acci- dents that were to give him share of the good things. After while he became so expert in the art of catching the flying cakes that he knew just when one was goirg to strike the ground, and his jaws snapped on it be- fore it finally landed in the sand. It might be a pretty hot morsel for Pete, but he never complained.
 Our house was a tent, taken down every morning before we turned our faces westward again, and pitched eve " night on a soft and level spot of earth. Pete was never allowed to sleep in the tent with us, much to his sur prise and discontent; but he discovered where slept near the wall of the tet, iand made himself a bed as near the canvas as he could get, and kept watch all night.
 When we reached the alkali country, Pete suffered a great deal from sore feet. The alkali makes the spring wa 1 ter unfit for drinking, and makes rough and dry the skins of persons travelling over the trail After while Pete's feet were so sore that we madr him ride in the wagon.
 In Salt Lake City we uamped on the edge of the town in an open grassy square, called Enigrant Square, as di- rected by the officers of the place. One fine morning we woke to find our oxen gone, although they had been carefully chained to our wagon wheels the night before. How had anybody unclaimed the cattle without making any noise? And why did not Pete give the alarm when the thieves came to our camp? Pete! Sure enough, where was Pete? He was nowhere to be found. In vain we searched through the camps of oth- CT emigrants; neither dog nor the oxen were to be seen. The loss of the cattle was most severe, of course, for without oxen we could not go on to California; but to lose Pete was like losing one of Jour party.
 Next day we discovered the cattle in Ian inclosure that had been covered with brush, as if to hide what was within. The owner of the place said he found the oxen running at large, and he had taken them up to wait for the rightful owners to appear. He knew nothing about yellow dog with foxy ears We thought 1t best to get out of Salt Lake City at once, and, yoking our cat.

CROSS FASHIONABLE AGAIN.

Ornament Of Grandmothers Days Is
 ~Again On Wave Of Popularity.
 Are you wearing a cross about your
 neck or on your watch fob or chain these days, madame, or mademoiselle or little missy? If not you have missed the latest note in fashionable decorations
 The cross is the most popular ornament |of all just now.
 Your grandmother wore a cross, most |certainly, your mother in all probability If you have passed the fiftieth mile stone. The grandmother's cross was of jet, silver, coral, enamel or dull, heavy gold. The cross you used to admire and long for as it swung against your mothers black satin bodice or lace collar was most likely of silver. You always intended, as child, to buy such
 cross and wear it just as soon as you l were able to earn money, if indeed, no kindly souled individual presented you with one at an earlier period. But for | you there has been no ornamental cross until of quite late days.

FOR A. JAMMED THUMB.

A Conductors Fit of Rage Costs a
 Trolley Company $500.
 An angry.cpnductor who gave vent to his rage bysssamming the door of car with the result that it damned the thumb ofsa fpasenger has caused his employer, the Boston and Northern Railway Company, to pay conn pensation sto Thomas W. Carroll, the passenger, for the injury he reveived. The full bench of the Supreme Court to-day overuled the defendants ex- captions, anaYsustained verdict of $500 for the plaifktiff.
 Carroll wAssin surface car on De- cember, 190h, very cold day. The glass of the windows was so coated with frost tthat a person on the inside could not see out through them. The plaintiff wished to stop at the street next beyondD Joiner street, Charlestown, and supposthg that the car had passed that street she gave a signal to the con ductor to stop at the next street. As the car cane'to a standstill he rose and walked back toward the door, which, the conductor had opened. He then saw that the car had stopped at Joiner Street. and said to the conductor that 1 he had made mistake; that he did not want to get off there, but at the next stopping place. and he put his hand against the tjanb of the doorway, about l halfway up, with his ehumb in the slot l in which the door slided to support | himself against sudden starting up of the car, as it had stopped unusually { sudden, as he put it. Thereupon the conductor, who was standing on the platform on the same level as the floor i of the caEi and who saw the plaintiff s thumb in the slot of the door, or If he had exercised due care would have seen it'' accontAing to the courts decison, "got into fit of rage" slammed the door on the plaintiffs thumb with an oath, apdtcaused the injury complained of
 The defendants contentin," con- tinues the court, lis that there was no need for the plaintiff putting his thumb in the slot But it is plain that pas senger, in the exercise of due care. can grasp something to steady himself be- ing thrown back and forth by the cars starting forward suddenly. The jury were warranted in finding that this passenger had reason to suppose that this car might start forward suddenly and that there was nothing else which gave this plaintiff a means of so steady ing himself except grasping the slot. The jury were warranted in finding that the conductor knew, or if he had exercised due care would have known that the plaintiffs thumb was in the slot. There was evidence that he was standing that he was standing facing
 plaintiff, mot more than 12 inches away from him, and that the plaintiffs hand was about opposite his face.

inhabited place, he came into camp, for lorn and suspicious,
 He was tall, coarse-haired. with foxy ears and a club-shaped tail. We tried him with various names that are com mon in dog history-Boss, Tray, Duke, Turk, and so on; but to none of these did he make reply until some one said '.Petel" At this he gave a diffident jump and a bark. Thenceforward he was Pete, and Pete he remained until the end of the story.
 As we happened to have plenty of buffalo meat in camp that night, Pete was given a good supper. He was ra- venously hungry, and while he was ea- gerly gnawing a bone he suddenly dropped it with a yelp of pain. Going to the poor beast to see what was the trouble, I passed my hand along his jaw and found a lump under the skin, as if some part of the jawbone were broken and out of place. The gentle pressure of my hand put the bone into place again, and Pete with a grunt of satisfaction kept on with his supper. After that, as long as he was with us,
 
 whenever his ravenous feeding brought on his grief. As he laid his nose on my knee I pressed back the troublesome lump, and Pete ceased his complaints. But he learned to be careful of his wounded jaw, and avoided wrenching it when gnawing his food.
 One of the wayfarers whom we occa- sionally met on the trail toward the setting sun, seeing me perform this painless little surgical operation for Pete some weeks after he had come to us, said that he knew the dog. His master, he said, was a brutal fellow, and, being angry with the dog one day, struck him violently on the head with the butt of his rife. The dog fled howl ing from the camp, and. probably in this way became a wanderer until he made our acquaintance and found friends.
 | We all liked Pete, and he was on the most intimate terms with all in the camp; but there were two reasons why 1 he attached himself chiefly to me- had helped him first in trouble, and had charge of the grub in the camp. On | the plains, and in fact in all camps, the l food is never known by any name but { that of grub. From my hands, usually came the food that was so welcome tc 1 Pete. One kind of food which we al liked was known as fiapjacks; and Pete liked ffapjaeks as well as the rest of tht camp did. But the labor of cooking them, one at time in the frying pan was too great to make us willing that Pete should have many. To turn 8 f1apjack over in the pan, 1t is necessary , to loosen 1t a little around the edges and toss it in the air in such way that

A DRAMATIC uPLIFT.

Those who have been fortunate enough at any time to enjoy the ac-
