the afternoon papers had gone to press.
One Of the group remarked upon the
striking resemblance between the
green" man from Pittsburg and the
correspondent of New York daily who
had been on the scene of prospective
trouble two or three weeks before it
broke out. Neither had noticed the re-
semblance. though they had met fire.
quently during several days. But a
joint visit to the neighborhood Of a
mirror convinced them that they were
as much alike in size. build and facial
makeup as any pair Of twins that was
ever born.
The New York man had during his
sojourn in Homestead made himself
''solid' with the strikers. and they
were familiar with his appearance.
When trouble finally broke out they
knew him to be their friend, and no
one thought of interfering with his
movements. He was ethe ouly man
who was Intentionally given freedom to
go where he pleased while the fighting
was on. The Pittsburger was mistaken
for the New Yorker and got all Of the
latter's privileges without knowing that
he was being especially favored and
with not the slightest idea that he was
sailing under false colors.
A strange feature of the case was
that the New Yorker was using all of
the privileges accorded him and was in
every part of the mill yard during the
day. He must have talked many times
to the same persons who talked with
the Pittsburger, but no one noticed
that there were two of them-a fact for
which the Pfttsburger has always been
thankful, for detection at that critical
moment might have meant being
hanged as a spy.-Sandusky (O.) Even

A DOGS LONG MEMORY.

From the Philadelphia Press:
"Something must have stung your

suburbanite whom he was visiting a
few days agoS as he noticed the antics
Of a large coolie. which, after snap
ping frantically, at a flying insect. low
cred his head and carefully licked his
right fore paw.
mo" replied the owner of the dog,
that is only a little delusion Of his.
When he was puppy bee stung him
on the foot you see him attending to.
and ever since he has cherished a
standing grudge against aging insects.
Apparently the sight of one not only
arouses his anger. but recalls most
wildly his first experience with one
for each time after running after one
whether he catches it or not. he stops
and tenderly licks the places where he
was stung two years ago AS far as
I can know he has never been stung
since then"
