Police Hnnted Cor Pet Doc.

The Newport police were turned out
the other day to search for Mrs. Goe-
let's pet terrier, that had strayed
away from home. The search was fruit
less, but after the expiration of
twenty-fou hours the dog showed up
at home, tired, hungry and meek. 1t
is alleged that the dog found it impOs-
sible to get a course dinner anywhere
in the city except at home. At the
plebeian place they insisted on Civ
ing him his food all at time, where
as he wanted his soup first, then fish
and roast and so on, as he had been
accustomed to dining. The runaway
was received with open arms, and in

Tragedy of the Elbow sleeve.

Miss Mabel Blacke of Logansport,
Ind, wanted to wear elbow sleeves on
her summer gowns, but there were OBJ
stacleS. She told her fance, c. w.
Rhinehart, about them.
"Sure. that's easy" said he.
"Shave 'em off, III lend you my ra-
zor."
Rhnehart secured the razor and
lather to enable Miss Blacke to laugh
at the shortage in elbow gloves. Then
he sat down to show her how to shave
her arms.
Now. let me try. - said Miss Blacke,
and took the razor. She was doing
nicely until she slipped and seized
Rhinehart by the knee to steady her
self. The razor cut four-inch cash
in Rhinehart's knee, clear to the bone.
Miss Blacke ran through the streets,
arms bare and covered with lather,
and found surgeon, who took nine
stitches in the wound.

FAVORITE OF PRESIDENT.
Uncle Robert ROOsevelt's Visits to
White House Informal.

White House Informal.
The late Robert Barnwell Roosevelt,
uncle of the president, was held in
high esteem by the chief executive,
who always looked forward to their
annual reunions with the greatest of
pleasure, says a Washington dispatch
to the New York Tribune. OF late
years, on account of the presidents
manifold duties, which made it well
nigh impossible for him to spare the
time to go to Sayville, Mr.. Roosevelt
had done most of the visiting TO his
nephew. The last time the president
went to Sayville was in the summer
of 1904, when he rode horseback across
Long Island from Oyster Bay in com
pany with his boys. Mr.. Roosevelt
paid the president a visit last winter,
arriving in Washington without trou-
bling to send any advance notice of his
coming. The old man Gever paid much
attention to the subject of clothes, pre-
ferring to wear what was most com
Portable, and so when he arrived at
the door of the White House office
building one morning the doOrkeepers
thought him some venerable farmer
who was seeing the sights"
I'D like to see the president" the
old man said to the dOOrkeepers.
You'll have to see his dOOrkeeper
first" said one Of the policemen at the
outer door, and Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
ceeded to make his wants known to
Major Charles Loettler. Major LOeftler
looked Mr.. Roosevelt over, was
not particularly impressed with his
appearance, perhaps, and told him
that the president was busy" Then
Mr.. Roosevelt tried Secretary Loeb's
door with equal lack of success. John
Hans, the doorkeeper on guard, told
him that the secretary was busy" too.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was standing
first on one foot and then on the other,
in an irresolute way, he was recognized
by one of the secret service men who
had seen him in Sayvile on the occa-
sion Of the presidents visit. The detec-
tive steered him into Mr.. LOeb's room
in a jiffy, and the secretary hustled
him into the presidents office in less
time than it takes to set this type.
The president happened to be in the
cabinet room at that moment and did
not see his uncle's entrance. This did
not disturb the old man in the least,
however, for he threw himself into
one Of the big leather armchairs, took
long black cigar from his pocket, lit
it, crossed his legs and breathed sigh
Of relief.
The president spied him in a moment.
With a shout of delight, he cried,
why, Uncle Robert" leaving the sen
ators and members of congress in the
cabinet room. How are you? l am
awfully glad to see you. When did
you get in? Why didn't you let me
know you were coming?"
As the president fired the volley Of
| questions at him he rushed up and
pumphandled him in a way that would
have struck terror to a less vigorous
man than Robert e. Roosevelt. The
president devoted half an hour to his
uncle right then and there before going
| back to the waiting statesmen.

LABOR GOES INTO POLITICS
New York Central Federated Union
Is Managing the LAUGH of
New Party.

New York, Aug 1O.-A new political
party to be called the Independent La
Dor party, has been formed in this city
at meeting called at the suggestion
of the executive committee of the Cen
trail Federated Union and composed Of
about seventy-five members of the diff
ferent labor unions of Greater New
FORK. James Hatch, of the executive
committee of the Central Federated
Union, declared that the union had de-
termined TO enter into independent pol
ittcs this year, and had mapped out a
plan to have a labor party organiza-
ton in every assembly district Of
Greater New York.
Hatch said that it was not the pur-
pose of the Central Federated Union
to take up Independent politics as n
body, but the individual members OF
the different labor unions would be in
vited to form clubs in their various as
sembly districts and from each of these
clubs three members would be elected
to form the general committee of the
Independent Labor party.
