OF Towers guilt there doubt. The Brew
ster cook had witnessed the raid Also she had tes-
titled that Toover had threatened her life. He had
smiled on her. you see, and the smile had been
fully miscOnstrued.
Mr. Brewster called, dinneress and indignant. He
spoke of using revolver. Pa Biggs settled in cash
for the damage and promised to do something.
Brewster he strutted home felt that he had done
rather fine thing. He had browbeaten meek
little Mr.. Bggs and left nine little Biggses in tears.
''Toover's got to gol" declared Mrs. Biggs
'Yes, I'm afraid he'll have to-" assented Pa
Biggs, his head between his hands. He thought
of the depleted pocket-boOk of the factory running
half time and of the threatened shutdown.
AT late hour, when the walls of the little Biggses
had been hushed in sleep the details of the tragedy
decided upon. Even then, when they to
take a goodnight look at little Theodosius Nc
Coode Biggs, and little hand reached

you've got to do it, Eph first thing in the
morning." she said as she put out the light.
Pa Biggs sighed heavily under the covers, but
made no reply.
Morning, however, brought its own train of events.
1t was later than usual when Ephraim awoke. Be-
fore going downstairs he prompted to look at
Doshy. The crib empty In the chair beside
it was no little heap of clothes, under it little
stubbed-out shoes. Nor was there any Toover.
The side door was open. They not to be found

This was because the fugitives had started when

euver with one of
his most persuasive
smiles.
Once understood,
Towers smile was a
JOY and a delight to
the beholder. But
many beholders fail
ed to understand.
They held that a dog
showed his teeth only
when he meant to
bite some one. Such
d tillilS as a dOS
grin they could not
comprehend. Some
shouted their fear
and ran, some simply
slammed the door

safe side OF 1t, while Others courageous threw
water and stove-pokers at him. "A rational minor
ity patted Towers black head and rewarded him
with left-overs from the ice-box.
The acquaintance of these last persons Toover
cultivated diligently. He made daily calls He
was known variously "Blacke," "Snow-ball"
or Niger" but always he was described as 1.-The
dog that smile"
AT some places they left their offerings hidden
under tin pans or boxes in protected hooks known
to Toover but unsuspected by other four-footed
foragers. Undoubtedly it this well-intentioned
practice which undermined Towers somewhat
vague notions as to property rights. As he became
expert in ferreting out hidden contributions he
began to appropriate things never intended for him
at all.
Thus he fell from grace in the neighborhood.
Complaints began to be made. Fresh morning rolls
were missed Squash pies, set to cool on back
'OOr-steps disappeared New-laid eggs vanished

Mrs. Biggs was scandalized.
"Toover don't eat eggth!" stoutly
protested the loyal Doshy. But Doshy
could not account for the yellow streaks
on Towers errnine collar Toover
himself grimaced amicably, even while
being punished, but that was not con-
elusive proof of innocence.
The Brewster raid came as a climax
1t concerned the filching of whole
basket of good things, such as lamb
chops and butter and crackers and
ginger-snaps, from the Brewster back
New-York tribune., 1905-08-27

where every little Biggs-except only Corio-
lanus, who worked for wages in the same grim
factory where Pa Biggs toed-did nothing -
but play from morning until night.
Play! The neighborhood resounded with
the joyful echoes OF it. And into all the games,
from Hi Spy" to Prisoners Base" entered
Toover with many bark many a bound his black
eyes dancing, his pink tongue hung drolly to one
side, and every 1.-the muscle of him tngling deli
ciously.
What puppy ever tumbled into such luck before?
True, the bones which came from the Bggs table
remarkably few and painfully well cleaned
But Toover had not been a stray to purpose.

ready there is splendid foreign trade
for these products and our foreign
trade is now running upon another
record breaking scale. Some idea of
the Improvement in domestic trade is
obtained from the record of bank
clearings which in the nine months
ending September 80 amounted to
$103, 1900, 100000, an increase of nearly
81 per cent over last year. This is a
most phenomenal exhibit and is more
due to the actual growth of business
than to higher prices and speculation.
Railroad earnings also, continue to
give indisputable evidences of nation
g! industrial activity by showing larg-
er gross returns. Traffic is already be-
You'd capacity and some of the roads
could employ almost double the num-
her of cars. The record of mercantile
failures is also assuring the total for
the same nine months being only &c.
100000 against $111,000,000 for the
same time last year.

THE PHILIPPINES.

Congressman w. P. Hepburn, in an
interview in the Creston Advertiser
Gazette: The Philippine Islands, are
commercially desirable. The soil is
fertile and perhaps half the surface Of
the land is tillabe. The variety of the
are produced are wonderful The only
thing that can prevent the rapid pro
gress of the country toward wealth is
the character and disposition of the
inhabitants. Politically I am very
doubtful as to the kind of bargain
this country obtained. We have them
however, and it Is our duty to fit
them for independence. This Is most
stupendous task and 1t is my opinion
that long before it is accomplished the
people will be so firmly attached to
this country and its institutions that
separation from the United States vii!
be about the last thing they will want
At the present time the great mass of
the people are satisfied with political
conditions; they would be satisfied
Under any government which does not
Cypress them or rob them by unjust
and burdonsome taxes and which pro-
tects them from the depredations Of
the ladrones, the organized band of
pirates and robbers which scourge
the country. The intelligent residents
of the country who have means are
also well satisfied and would deplore
change of any kind. The agitation
for independence comes almost en-
tirely from those men who are more
advanced In education than the av-
erage, but who have as q rule little
property; whose idea Of government is
that the people of the islands are di-
vided into two classes, the class of
obedience, comprising the great mass
Of the people, and the class Of direc
ton, composed of the few, ard of these
they are to be the leaders. The de-
mand for independence is made by
men who see themselves at the head
Of the new government, ruling the
people and simply substituting for
Spain's monarchial government an
autocratic government of which they
shall be the rulers.

NO MERIT IN 1T.

Cedar Falls Record.-Represen
Wise takes nc stock in the proposition
to extend the official term Of county
officers four years. He says that the
claim that the terms of all should not
expire at the same time and thereby
make it possible to have inexperienced
officers enter upon their duty In all
departments is not worth worrying
over, because such a thing is not likely
to happen unless it be by sheer acct
dent. He says that this matter will
adjust itself in the very nature of the
case. Perhaps there is not county
in Iowa where every official chosen at
the next election will be new man.
The contingency for such condition
is so remote that Mr.. Wise refused to
get frightened over the possibility Of
1t and vote to amend the. law so that
the term shall be four years instead
