BIG DOG
AT ALBANY
is VICIOUS
MaStiff Creates a Rough
House and Bites Druggist
In the Hand

Albany Herald: A dog fight in
which, before it ended, several promi.
nent citizens participated, occurred on
First street last evening, and as re.
suit d. o. Woodwork, the popular
druggist, carries his right hand in
bandages, and others are congratulat-
ing themselves that they escaped un.
hurt. The trouble grew out of an at.
tempt Of the big yellow mastif owned
by the Chinese doctor on Second street,
to take a spite out on dog owned by
Mr.. Woodwork. The last named dog
had carried an umbrella 10 the store,
and Mr.. Woodwork was in the act Of
taking it from the dog when the big,
surly mastiif suddenly sprang at Mr..
Woodwork s dog and, and, seizing him
as a cat would a mouse, shook his vic.
tim. In an instant Mr.. Woodwork,
seizing the first thing at hand, cam.
era tripod, began to belabor the big
dog, while Ben Clelen, armed with a
big rock, also attacked the mastif. The
latter finally released his victim, but
in doing so, snapped at Mr.. Wood
worth, and with one tooth inflicted a
painful wound in that gentleman's g
right hand. Previous TO this, he had
torn a piece out Of the trousers of Mr..
Mr.. woodworth's little son, and slight
ly injured the lads leg.
The big brute was taken away by
the Chinese owner. The dog was
formerly the property Of stratton, the
artist, who recently gave the mastinf to
the Chinaman, the dog having become
too surly and dangerous for Mr.. STRAIT
ton to retain him. The dog has long
shown a mean disposition, and he is a
menace to the community. Complaint
will be made TO the council, unless
some one should take time by the fore
lock, and do away with his dogship be-
fore the council can act in the matter.

SOlACE IN NATURE

when fortune had no smile for you, and
10y seemed out of reach,
And you and happiness, alas! were
very far apart,
Did YOU ever stand at twilight on some
quiet, ave-washed beach,
And let the seas soft monotone speak
comfort to your heart!
When life had lost its SAVIOR and chill
disappointment fell
On the cherished plan or project that
you had gladly made,
Did you ever bend your footsteps to
some green and tranquil dell,
Where the trees grow leaves for heal
ing and birds sing unafraid?
When death had cast its shadow, and a
loving voice was still
That had been as tender music to the
sunshine of your day,
Did you ever take your sorrow to the
moorland or the hill,
And let the whispering breezes charm
your bitter tears away?
For nature, sweet in silence and passing
sweet in speech,
Has word for every trouble and balm
for every smart;
But to find her gifts of solace, which are
well within our reach,
We must come as trustful seekers and
draw ever near her heart.

ONLY ONE SUIT FOR FIFTY.

But the G arments Made It Possible for
the Indians to Vote.
Talking about voting under difficult
ties,' remarked Representative J..
Adam Bede, Of Minnesota, few DAYS
ago, Il remember out in my State in
former times there was a popular law
that Indians who wore clothes could
vote. The woods were full of Indians,
but suits of clothes were mighty scarce
around there, especially with the In
dams. Whenever there was no special
interest in the election or it was all
one way the ingenuity Of man was not
stirred up sufficiently to put two and
two together in such a way as to get
those Indians to vote, but one day votes
were mighty valuable and an energetic
worker set out to get Indians.
1.-THE red men were as thick as flies,
but every last one of them had blan-
ket wrapped about him and very few
Of civilization. The proposition to let
them vote If they wore clothes was
made In order to encourage them in
the ways Of civilization and also with
the idea that man who had on clothes
would be pretty intelligent Indian.
"Well, the demand for votes stirred
up one of the ward workers, and he
got an old suit Of clothes and took it
to a hut near the voting precinct One
by one Indians were brought in dressed
up in the clothing Of civilization and
voted. As soon as an Indian had been
voted he was hurried back to the hut
and his clothing was transferred to an
other Indian. The idea spread and 9TH
er enterprising political workers set
up tho same kind of business. The
number Of Indians that could be vo-
ted with one suit Of clothes was mere
~ limited to the number Of changes
that could be made. Each suit Of
clothes was easily good to vote so In
dams. The lightning change acts that
were performed by the Indians would
be an object lesson to lightning change
artists on the Observation-Disclosures
Star.

But. Of course. If you have travelled

He looked hastily at the girl. Her
sweet eyes were dim with tears. She
hurriedly bent her head. He stopped
and touched his lips to the pallid
cheek Of the elder woman. She flushed
at the touch. She smiled-giadly, ex-
ultantly, and without further protesta-
ton went away.
When the girl returned she closed
the door behind her. She stuck a
match and lighted the fire laid ready
In the crate for just such q rainy af-
ternoon as this and pointed to a chair.

aunt. You are very like her lover of
many years ago. He was a naval Of

heard that his ship. with all hands on
board, had been lost, her mind gave
way. And when Henry Allison, who
had been supposed dead. returned-a
rescued survivor-she did not recog-
nize him. Why-what Is it?'
Godfrey had risen excitedly to his
feet.
Henry Allison was my mothers
brother. That accounts for my re-

Observation Has Proved that Both the

Apparently two factors enter into

there is mud, and at the same time
erect a structure high enough to pro-
tect its contents from any normal rise
In the water due to tides or rainfall.
After watching a nesting colony Of
hamingos In the Bahamas for nearly
an hour" at a distance Of 100 yards,
Sir Henry Blake stated that the fe-
males sat upon the nests while the
males stood up together, evidently
near by. Ny dissections, however.
showed that both sexes incubate, while
continued observation from the tent re
vealed the presence Of only one bird
Of the pair in the rookery at the same
time. The bird on the nest was re-
Heved late In the afternoon and early
in the morning. The one, therefore.
which incubated during the day fed at
night, and his or her place was taken
by another which had been feeding
during the day. Or, as Peter put it:
Il do t'ink. sir, dat when de lady Ally
mingo leave de nest, den de genie
man fillymingo take her place, sir; yes,
SIR"
Morning and evening, then, there
was much activity in the rookery. Sim
gle birds, or nles Of as many as fifty,
were almost constantly arriving and
departing, coming from and radiating
to every point Of the compass.
Flamingos in flight resemble no
other bird known to me. With legs
and neck fully outstretched, and the
comparatively small wings set half
way between bill and toes, they look
as If they might fly backward or for
ward with equal ease. They progress
more rapidly than heron, and, when
hurried, fly with a singular serpentine
motion Of the neck and body, as II
they were crawling in the air.-Cen-

meeting her gaze. There was nothing
bordering on the supernatural in this
fair girl. Her house dress of pink lawn

She moved closer to Barrett and put
her thin hand on his arm with an air
Of possession.

younger woman. She clasped her slim,
pretty hands with a swift gesture Of
despair. Barrett met her appealing
glance and nodded. She scanned his
features slowly from brow to chin with
keen, scrutinizing gaze. Then she,
too, nodded comprehendingly.

State Authorities May Look Into the

The large number Of smallpox cases
in the country districts near Americas,

united action to the end Of stamping
out the disease. It has prevailed for
some time in the country round about,
though in mildest form. the patients as
a rule not even gong to bed with 1t.
Not case, however, has originated in
Americus, which fact evidences the ad-
vantage of thorough vaccination some
two or three years ago and at intervals
since. Indeed, it has been long while
since case originated here, bat at the
same time the authorities desire to
safeguard the situation, particularly as
many country negroes who have thus
been afflicted will straggle to town oc.
casionally. To this end the city cour Gil
and the county commissioners will re-
quest the state board of health to send
an official here to look into the situation
in the country districts with view,
possibly, to general vaccination on all
plantations IN the county.

Science is DOING wonders these days in

Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. 1t is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
it saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally badness. With
Dut dandruff hair must grow Iuxuriantly.
1t is the only destroyer of dandruff.
