SOME TRUE DOG STORIES.
One Shaggy Little Canine Saved =
Train and Big st. Bernard
Rescued Miner.

Twenty-Five dollars for dog collar
seems like a waste of money but there
is shaggy little canine out in Colora-
do who earned collar costing that
amount, and so long as he earned it
himself nobody need care. 1t was this
way. One stormy night, few months
ago, the dogs master was aroused ia
the middle of the night by a furious
barking, and, upon investigating, dis
covered that a burning bridge on the
railroad near by was the cause of the
disturbance. Back and forth from the
house to the bridge and from the
bridge to the house the excited dog
ran, becoming quieted only when his
of the fire, which he did just in time
to flag a long freight train, thus saving
it from destruction. For his wise act
in saving the train $25 was sent to
doggies owner, and the entire amount
was spent on the fine collar which he
now wears.
Prince Leo, a monster st. Bernard,
living in the Arkansas range of Colo
RADIO, is another wonderful dog. So
many wonderful things has Prince
Leo accomplished that his master
lately refused an offer of $4,000 for
him. One of this dogs remarkable
acts occurred during blizzard in Feb
ruary, near the Little Louisa mine. A
workman had been sent some distance
for can of machine oil, but the storm
increased with such fury that the man
was unable to return, wandering about
the mountain side in dazed condi-
ton, until finally, exhausted, he fell
and lost consciousness. Alarmed at
the workman's prolonged absence,
Prince Leo was called, given the scent
and dispatched to search for the miss

ator German and Senator Elkins and
his business connections with John R.
Mclean and other district millionaires
have brought him here even more often
than would otherwise be the case Seen
In the company of any of these men he
does notseem to be their senior, although
there is no one of them to whom he
cannot show a score of years in retro
spect. He has the sturdy form and the
springy step of youngster of 60, and
there is not sign that can be observed
of the entertainments of extreme age.

work on the railroad undoubtedly have

stemious life has had more

SO much frou-frou and elaboration is
unsulted to practical garments.
And now to return to more summary
garments which have been much in
evidence OF late. A certain comtesse
of renown is evidently possessed of
several tunics of beautiful lace, for
they have appeared on different occa-
slons: one, over the most beautiful
soft white satin messaline, seems to
be of finest Mechlin, and has UNDER
sleeves and slightly open decolletage
composed of folds of embroidered
mousseline de sole. Another tunic is
Of point de Venise, and was worn at a
wedding reception over beautiful rose

cled by wonderful Marie Antoinette
band of shaded old rose taffeta with a
marvellous strass buckle at the back.
Surmounting this frock was an exqui-
site white chip hat, the brim yelled
with embroidered lisse and trimmed
with a single shaded pink sweeping
ostrich plume.

small, nodding, shaded plumes. The
high-crowned hat in white or black
crinoline or leghorn, the brim veiled
with lace, is one Of the prettiest frames
for a pretty face, and the newest colt
fure over here is so admirably suited
to this style of picture hat, being ap-
parently simply arranged in loose, big
waves, but in reality the work of a
most artistic coiffeur.
A good many leading Parisians have
been wearing the softest black frocks,
very often relieved by a touch of rose.
Rose is much in evidence just now,
from the palest to the deepest shades.
Girls are wearing quantity of pale
rose muslin, while married women are

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 stree.
the other little girls didn't so call her.
In fact, they called her that horrid
new GIRL instead And Drusilla got
to hear of it, somehow, and felt Just
as unhappy as you or l 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." ALI 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 shyiy
smiled at them they just looked ugly,
instead of smiling back. In fact, Jim
ME 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 ILL
bred as that. And Annie didn't say
anything; only her cheeks were very
red.
1t was the very next day that all got
acquainted with Drusi!la, 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 uim, and all the other girls

Ing one. Hours passed. The storm
increased until On 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 witk his unconscious
burden. Once inside the cabin the
faithful beast refused 10 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 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
river boskets and across tie 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 tag for him.
Pleadings at the pound availed 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 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 Off
Ger gave him. This is, perhaps, the
first case on record where dog has
received an official pardon, regularly
signed and sealed,

make-a kind of duchesse satin of soft
finish-for evening wear.
Some of the newest gowns are cut en-
princesse, and embroidered with velvet
leaves; occasionally they are further
decorated with precious stones. White
and vieux rose seem to me to be the
favorite evening shades just now. Once
again there is craze for old brocades,
but these are not stiff.
1t has been a magnificent season as
far as the best dresses are concerned.
At the same time the girl on small
allowance can invest in most effective
muslins, quaint chine silks, and many
inexpensive fabrics which can be made
up in the 1880 styles, and with the al
ways popular fichu which covers such
multitude of the amateurs defects

well-cut waistband one can really do
wonders

crepe de chine has many possibilities
for the intelligent amateur to get va
riety at small cost. After several Wis.,
it's to the cleaner these fabrics can be
dyed navy blue or brown, and these
are distinctly good colors for evening
wear.
OF course for dancing and really hard
wear nothing beats taffeta, and if you
get fairly good one it need not be
lined; then it cleans and dyes admir-
ably. You can always make a change
by having two or three different col

Metcalf is the third man to be chosen
for place in the cabinet from the Pa
cific slope since the admission of CAL
ifornia. The first was George H. Will
liams, of Oregon, whom Grant made
attorney general and tried to make him
chief justice of the United States, but
whom the senate refused to confirm
as chief justice. Williams was COM
monty known as Landaulet Williams
on account of the handsomely uphol-
stored landaulet in which Mrs. Will
liams used to drive about Washington
to the envy of less fortunate women.
After his retirement no Pacific coast
man held place in the cabinet until
Mckinley appointed as attorney gen.
eral Judge McKenna, who served on
the ways and means committee with
him in the house and who, curiously
enough, represented the same district
in congress afterwards represented by
Mr.. Metcalf. McKenna is now JUS

.Curiously enough a number of these
have followed his own example and
have transferred their allegiance from
the democratic'to the republican party.
One of the first men whom Morton
met when lie reached Washington was
bis fathers old private secretary in the
agricultural department. The young
man is no longer in the government
service, but is one ct the most success

iumbia. OF course Morton was glad to
see him and after the first greeting the
talk drifted to politics. Pretty soon the
former private secretary began to make
