 70, yes, he eats littie," said the groceryman, and the boy tossed a piece of candy such as he gave the king of Spain, with cayenne pepper in 1t, to the dog, which swallowed it whole. and the old man said: Now, I suppose your father is cured, you will all stay at home for awhile, and set tie down to decent citizenship. and take an active part in the affairs of your city and state? Gee, but what is the matter with the dog?" added the old man. as the dog jumped up on all fours, looked cross-eyed, and tried to dig hole in his stomach with his hind leg.

You see. dad got cured all right, of few dis eases that were carrying him of, but he has taken the jumps, disease that is incurable When a man has the jumps he can't stay long in one place. but his life after taking the disease is one continual round of packing up and unpeeking. his litera- ture is time cards and railroad guides, and his meals are largely taken al railroad eating houses, sitting on . stool, and his sleep is uncertain cat maps. Say, that dog acts as though the mouthful he took out of my pants under the counter didn't agree with him." added the boy. as the dog rolled over and tried to stand on his head.

Gee. but I wouldn't be in your place for a million dollars" And the boy stood up on the barrel. and was be- ginning to yell mad dog" when the old man asked what he could take to make him immune from the bite of a mad dog.
 Eat a bottle of horseradish,- said the boy. as he reached over to the shelves and got a bottle, and pulled the cork Eminent scientists agree that horseradish Is the only thing that will get the system In shape 10 with stand and throw off the mad dog virus. and he handed the old man the bottle who began 10 eat ft and ery. and choke, and the boy got down from the barrel and let the dog out doors and be made a bee-Iine for the lake.

 The old grocerman was sitting in the old grocery one fine spring morning, looking over his accounts, as they were written on a quire of brown wrapping paper with a blunt lead pencil. and wondering where he could go to collect money to pay note that was due at the bank at noon on that day. He was looking ten years older than he did the year before, when the Bad Boy had played his last trick on the old man. and gone abroad to chaperone his sick father, in search for health and ad- venture. The old man had missed the boy around the grocery, and with no one to keep his blood circulating, and his temperature occasionally soaring above the normal, he had failed in health. and had read with mixed feel ings of joy, fear and resentment that the Bad Boy and his dad had ar. rived home, and he knew it could not be long before the boy would blow in. and he was trying to decide whether to meet the boy cheerfully and with spirit of resignation, or to meet him with g club; whether to give him the glad hand, or form himself into a col. umn of fours to drive him out when he came.
 He had accumulated a terrier dog since the boy went away, to be com. pany for the old singed cat, to hunt rats in the cellar, and to watch the store nights. The dog was barking down cellar, and the old man went down the rickety stairs to see what the trouble was, and while he was down there helping the dog to tree rat under sack of potatoes, the Bac Boy slipped into the store, and finding the old man absent, he crawled under the counter, curled up on a cracker box, and began to snore as the ole man came up the stairs, followed by the dog, with rat in its mouth. The old man heard the snore, and won dered if he had been entertaining T tramp unawares. when the dog dropped

DEVIL IN ARMOR
Continued from page 9

been designed must have been of lust
about Captain Chesaby's height and
bulk, for what did that same late Con
federate officer do but lay off his linen
coat and wide-brirnmed hat, remove his
shoes and proceed to don the odd ard I'M
wieldy apparel-an act accomplished
only after many pulls and clanks and
when the Captains favorite expressions
! of disgust were about exhausted. The
last and most uncomfortable thinr of all
to go on was the helmet, the beaver of
which he pulled down so as to conceal
his face effectually.
Then he walked stiffly and creaking1y
| back to the hall, climbed into the niche
and assumed a position as nearly akin
to the one the armor usually bore as was
possible. His work had been attended
with no little noise, but Uncle Roscoe was
SO fully occupied in following the steady
current of talk which flowed from the
lips of the preacher that he heard not a
sound
Slowly the minutes dragged by, slowly
they heightened into fives and tens, and
faster and ever faster oozed the perspir-
alton from the Captains pores; but still
the crafty old butler fingered over his
pious confab. At last, when the master
was nearly sweltered, he heard Potter's
whip crack over the drowsy mules back
and the rickety wheels of the cart begin
to revo1ve.
e rely on you, Br'er Roscoe, t lead
de flock en- prayah mex meetin'!" Potter
called as he drove away.
Shortly after, stealthy step on the
veranda made a loose board squeak, and
a dark willy face peered around the door
jamb and took minute reconnaissance
of the hallway Then came Uncle
Roscoe's whole body In one hand he
clutched tightly bunch of mint, the
bruised stalks of which filled the sultry
air with pungent odor. In the other he
carried a gourd of cold weIl-water
Moving carefully toward the closet to
avoid stopping the contents, still more
carefully he bent down, rested the gourd
against the Dashboard and softly drew
open the door
Now Uncle Roscoe's fame as a julep-
maker was widespread, and the old fellow
himself shrewdly suspected that pink
nosed Colonel Booth, the Hon. Jimmy
bikes and Major Yancey talked more
crops than was at all necessary at
Chesaby Hall during "julep season.
But as he disappeared into the wine
closet he resolved to make a connection
this time that would totally eclipse any
former attempt in the same line.
Directly Captain Chesaby heard the
whisky spigot turn, and the purl of falling
liquid. Then a short silence, broken
at last by a gulping gasp, a smack and
a muttered exclamation: Um-m-
m-ahl Dat suttenly do knock de holiness
outen de bonesl Um-nl-Il- Dat
tas' lax mol" The spigot turned again
About a minute later Uncle Roscoe
emerged from his retreat, glass in one
hand gourd in the other. He closed
the door behind him, and stepping
nimb1y up to the suit of armor, raised
his glass and said softly and tantalizingly:
"Heah! look heah! OF Blum erbuss,
don yo' wish yo' c'u'd feel dis nice col
iulep runnin' down yo' neck?" He showed
the glass up till it nearly touched the
helmet, laughing childishly, and con-
tinued:
Don yo' jes' wish yo' c'u'd? But 20

express satisfaction with the German
note, not 30 much because Of it's contents
as that II affords proofs that the Germans
really mean business in Morocco, whereas
1t formerly appeared that they were merely
using Morocco as a pretext for interfering
In general politics.
Although the French and German notes
lack agreement, one demanding definite
program and the other refusing, it must
be remembered that matters have already
progressed beyond notes. thanks to the
satisfactory conversations between Chancel-
lor Won Buelow and the French Ambassa-
dor at Berlin and Prime Minister Rouvier
and the German Ambassador here. 1t Ii
stated on good authority that the German
Ambassador and NJ. Rouvier have met
more frequently than announced. They
have already smoothed many Of the asperi-
ties OF the situation.
France no longer claims an accord d.
rect, but an entente ia probable. This ia
an entirely different thing from an accord,
the latter necessitating a written docu-
ment. whereas an entente is merely verbal.
The fact appears to be that the main points
already have been agreed upon. The
diplomatists are now seeking formulas to
express the agreement.
1t is stated that the heated feelings be-
tween the British, French and German
Ministers at Fee preclude much help COM
ing from them. 1t is probable that the
Sultan Of Morocco ultimately will be made
the mouthpiece Of the decisions mutually
agreed upon by Berlin and Paris.

POSTAL FRAUD CASES DROPPED.
Government Won't Attempt Trial Of Hall
lenbeck and the Metcalfs.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Another failure
in the Post Office fraud pre- secution was
recorded to-day when United States Dis
trict Attorney Beach abandoned the case
against James G. Metcalf, Harry Hallen-
beck and Norman R. Metcalf, charged
with conspiracy to defraud the United
States in connection with contract to
furnish money order blanks, and against
Hallenbeck alone on the charge of pre-
senting a false claim against the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Beach explains that after careful
examination of the proof offered to sup
port the indictments, the Government
had decided to take no further action in
thos, cases. He had the concurrence in
this decision, he said. Of Holmes Conrad,
the special counse appointed to assist
In the prosecution Of the rosta frauds.
Halenbeck was the head of company
that had contract to furnish the postal
service with money order blanks and Nor
man Metcalf was employed as a clerk in
his Office 1t was alleged that there was
conspiracy between the three by which
the blanks were to be of inferior material
and Autographed on one side only, while
the contract called for lithographing on
both sides Norman Metcalf 1t was charged
arranged with his father. who was the
inspector OF the blanks, to pass them as
fulfilling the specifications ofthe contract.

That Railroads Have Joined Hands With
Standard OIL to Down Hin.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.--Col. j. NJ. Guf1ey
president OF the Gulf Refining Oil Company
Of Texas, to-day filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission complaint against
the Illinois Central. Louisville and Nash
Vile, Cincinnati. New Orleans and Texas
Pacific, Alabama Great Southern and New
Orleans and the New Orleans and North
western Railroad companies, charging them
with having entered into a combination
with the Standard Oil Company by which
that company gets monopoly Of business
through discriminating rates that are
prohibitive to the products OF the plain
tin concern.
1t is alleged that rates on oil northward
are almost double those on the product
shipped south. and that this practice eff
fecttually prevents those operating in the
Texas and Louisiana oil fields from doing
business with northern points. 1t Is re-
cited that the Texas and Louisiana fields
now produce 100000 barrels of oil
year, while the total production In Kansas,
Ohio Indiana. West Virginia, Kentucky
and Pennsylvania fields amounts to 100000
barrels a year.
The petitions pray that the defendant
railroads be called upon to answer these
charges and that the Interstate Commerce
Commission institute an inquiry
