The Early Dog Gets the Drink.

New York Press.
"The little copper drinking foun-
tains for dogs, put on the street cor
ners at the bottom Of lampposts."
said the man who stands all day at
Fiftv-ninth street and Lexington
avenue handing out transfer tickets.
"would be fine thing if the dogs got
a chance at them. They are attrac-
tive in appearance, and are all right
until freezing time. They are too
shallow for winter weather. The dog
fountains arc filled every morning
bv men from the Humane society.
and it is the early dog that gets the
drink. AS soon as the car rush be-
gins. goodby doggie.
This fountain has been here just
one week. In that time have seen
a man waiting for a crosstown car
spoil the dogs chance with mouth
full OF tobacco juice; then kids and
young men fill 'em up with cigarettes;
seen women and girls throw orange
peel and apple cores into them;
matches are thrown into them by the
dozen. Before noon that dog foun-
tain looks like a small swill-pail.
Dogs prefer the leakings of a fire
hydrant on the opposite corner.
I'm summer the dog fountains will
be a blessing, but the people will
have to be taught that they are for
the use of dogs. not hogs"

Looking Into the Future.
New York Press.

"I guess I might as we'll quit
school, pa," said the boy.
"Why, my SOM"
"Oh, there amt any use going, ex-
cept to be able to help my little boy
when I grow up, and if they have
changed the way of doing things
since you were a boy so that you
can't help me it's likely I'm just vast
ing my time getting ready to help my
little boy"
He got the help he wanted, but 1t
was a good thing he didn't hear what
his father had to say about new fan
eled school books after he had gone
to bed.

months and nine days; Metz, two
months and three days; Strasburg,
one month and seventeen days: Paris,
four months and nine days; Mafc-
king. 21o days: Kimberley, 125 days,
and LadySmith, iour months.
1t is difficult to obtain exact fig
urcS in regard to the number OF lives
lost in the Seiges OF the past. Those
available seem tc indicate that the
most sanguinary struggle OF that kind
in modern times at least, was the talk
ing OF Plevna by Generals Skobcief
and Taleben. Several Of the assaults
connected with that struggle equal
ed in loss OF life the storming Of
some Of Port .Arthur's main defenses
by the Japanese. Thus the second
great attack, in September, 1877, re-
suited in the killing of 1000 Russians
in four lays. and the Turkish losses
must also have been appalling. Al
ter the third attack the assailants left
1880 dead behind on the field. The
total cost in life of the Russian vic
tory over Osman Pasha is estimated
at about 10000.
Similar sacrifices OF human lives
accompanied the taking OF Vicksburg
by the Federals during the civil war
and the reduction OF the powerful
French iortrcsscs OF Metz and Strass-
burg by the Germans III 1870 In
one way times have changed for the
better. Today bIoodshed stops as
soon as the invested stronghold has
surrendered. 1t was different in the
olden days, when fort and city were
almost Synonymous and the taking
of one often meant the complete de-
struction of the other. After the
Romans had scaled the walls of Car
thage the fighting continued in the
streets for six days and night and
did not come to an end until all life
was extinct within.
Probably the most horrible event
of this kind recorded in history is the
taking Of the Greek city Of Sclo by
the Turks during the Greek insur-
rection in 1922. The entire popula-
ton. said to have numbered 10000
souls, was slaughtered in few hours.
The same number of non-combatants
were killed or died from sickness in
Paris during the four months OF
seige. What losses OF this latter
kind have been suffered at Port Ar
thur is not yet known yet, but there
is reason to believe that mortality has
largely been restricted to the active
defenders.
The ingenuity displayed BY both
assailants and defenders in their
struggle for the far eastern strong
hold has many precedents in the past
although it may never have been ex-
celled. The devices of Archimedes
have made famous the seige of SYRIA
cuse by the Romans in 212 B. c. The
seiges conducted by Alexander the
Great were epoch making in the his
tory of warfare.

AMONG THE TALL TIMBER.
In Far Away Texas. w. B. Baker
Writes of His Trip a2d What He Has
Found Since Arriving There.


W. B. Baker, who left here for
Livingston, Tex, a couple of weeks
ago, writes The Gazette some facts
relative TO his trip and the place of
his destination, which will be inter
ssting to many readers of The Gazette
In this connection it will also be of
interest to know the fact that a
couple Of former Stevens Pointers, w.
H. and Hiram Knox, are not only
interested in lumber at Livingston,
but are among the principal owners
of a railroad known as the Livingston
4 Southeastern, w. H. Knox being
president and general manager, and
Hiram Knox the secretary and treas
urer.
Mr.. Baker says: AFTER a ride of
Sc hours steady run, / stopped over
one night and part OF the next day at
Shreveport, La, which is one of the
prettiest towns in the south, as well
as being the most modern, with brick
pavement, cement walks and looking
most like northern town of any
place have seen. Livingston is a
town If about 1000 population, and
rather dilapidated place, although
they have good soil and good water
and many good people, as well as
some tough ones that you couldn't
frighten worth cent with a shotgun.
Seven miles east of Livingston is as
good lot of timber of the short leaf
pine as one would be able to find in
the South. Knox & Son have as fine
place for mill as l ever saw, and
the best country to log imaginable.
The land is nearly as level as it is
around Stevens Point and Plover. 1t
is of the dry loam that gets pretty
slippery when wet, but it is generally
dry in this country, so on the whole
they have fine chance here to make
big money.
"W. H. Knox took me for drive,
last Sunday, over to his timber with
a pair of ponies and top buggy. We
were gone four hours and Think we
did not drive where there was any
road more than half the time, just
driving through the woods anywhere,
wherever you wanted to go. The
timber is fine, running from 16 to 48
inches on the stump, and from 8 to z
logs long, and hardly any limbs. This
is all good timber land and there is
beech, gum and some magnolia that
will make lumber. We had a little ice
here between Christmas and New
Years, but the weather has been fine
the rest of the time. ."-SteveDs Point

This is net gain over 1908 of $272 6S
1t was decided to discontinue the
station at Stettin because of inability to
get anyone to take care of it.

the consideration of the directors,
The estimated cost of this line is S40O

will be for sale only to present stock
holders and they will each be limited
to ten shares. At the expiration of
thirty days the president and secretary

The noise awakened nearly everyone in
the village and although the mill was
running full blast at the time the sound
of the escaping steam reached the ears
of the crew above and the men immedi-
ately began to run out Of the mill, fear
ing an explosion was imminent. AS
soon as the boilers had been emptied of
steam and it was safe to go into the en-
gine room the fires were drawn from
the boilers and the latter allowed to cool
while repairs were being made.

HANDS FROZEN


lives at l14S Merrill Ave-, had narrow
escape from being frozen to death FRI
day night and it is possible may lose
both hands. He came down town thai
day for the purpose of paying.his taxes,
anC 1ter calling at the city hall and
turning over the money to Treasurer
Juers, found he still had some left and
proceeded to spend it. IIe visited a
number of saloons, he does not remem.
Der how many, and acquired fair
sizd ''jag." Some time during the
nie1t he started for home and had
reached a point just south of Jacob
Mortenson Lumber Cob mill. when he
fell off the culvert which crosses small
creek trayersing the length of a marsh.
He remained il the snow some time but
finally righted himself and got out on
to the road. Instead of Fastening for
home or going to the engine house OF
the mill to get warmed up, he stood
still and began yelling for assistance.
There are no houses in that immediate
vicinity and consequently he got no
help, but Policemen Alex. Mcdonald
and Jas. Kennedy heard his cries. At
first they assumed thai the cries came
from workmen at the mill and paid
little attention to them. AS they con-
tinued Mr.. Mcdonald decided to in
vestigate, and had some difficulty in
locating them. After going north
at least half mile he found B0ehmer
standing in the middle of the marsh.
and hasty examination revealed the
fact that the mans hands were frozen
stiff from the tips of the fingers to the
wrists. He wanted to go home, but
Mr.. Mcdonald persuaded him to go
back to town, and took him to the city
hall. On the way oack Policeman
Kennedy was met and as soon as he
learned of the mans condition Ne ran to
the nearest telephone and summoned
DR.. FL. l.. Rosenberg. When the
doctor arrived at the city hall it was
also ascertained that the mans nose and
cheeks were badly frozen. 1t was
nearly two hours before the doctor and
policemen succeeded in getting the
frozen parts thawed out.
Although the mercury in the ther-
mometer had settled down that night TO
a point twenty degrees below zero, the
man had started home bare handed and
yet had heavy pair of woolen mittens
in his overcoat pockets. When he fell,
he fell with his hands in the snow and
probably remained in that position
until they were frozen, for there was
snow sticking to his hands when found
by the officer Had the officer not
heard his cries, in all probability he
would have been found next morning
frozen to death, for he was so befuddled
with liquor AID Supplied from cold that
he would have laid down in the snow.
He was later removed to his home and
at present writing it cannot be deter
mined whether or not he viii retain
the nse of his hands. 1t is possiblcshat
at least some of his fingers will have to
be amputated.
