A Domestic Tyrant.

eff burglars mean to burgle, be-
lieye they'll burgle." said Miss Lu-
ella. Bolts won't keep them out
and dogs. won't drive them away.
Anyhow, Lois and aren't timid, and
we've decided not to keep a dog
again.
"Oh. yes; We like dogs; and poor
Bounce was an unusually intelligent
animal. He was trifle diversified for
a cocker-eorty pounds really is ex-
cessive-but he was beautiful crea-
ture, too. We were very fond of him.
He always slept just outside our
bedroom door. But he was rheu
matte occasionally, and one night he
couldn't get up the stairs, he was so
stiff So we put him to bed on the rug
at the foot, instead; but as soon as
We went up, he pointed his nose at
the ceiling and began to howl. Lois
was convalescing from tonsilitis, and
| was run down that spring, and there
was sickness next door; and Bounce
was a most determined dog. We
knew he wouldn't stop.
Lets carry him, up said Lois at
last. You take one end of the rug
and I'll take the other, and we'll
carry him between US
Bounce didn't understand. and at
the first lift he went out with a yelp.
But we coaxed him back, and pres
emily he caught the idea. He sat up
straight. perfectly quiet, with his
tongue lolling and an air of supreme
dissatisfaction, while we toted him
up that long flight OF stairs, stagger-
ing at every step. Lois was so ex-
hausted she dropped her end at the
top, and let him roll out.
Next night. when bedtime came.
ne planted himself on the middle OF
the rug again, gave short bark,
lolled his tongue impudently. and
comDlacently waited for the bearers
to lift up his lordship's palanquin!
We had to do it, too; ne would howl,
o. we must hoist-and hoist we did.
For three nights running we car
ried that forty-Dound dog up those
stairs, and then the weather changed
and his joints limbered. and he kindly
excused us from duty. By that time,
though, the neighbors had somehow
| found out, and-well, perhaps we
| ought to have been pleased at afford
ing innocent amusement to whole
town, but I cant truthfully say that
! we were.
Bounce was a remarkably intelii-
gent dog-remarkcbl intelligent!
But Lois and l agree that, now he's
gone, il we have to choose between
burglars and another such protector.

ROAD FINED $4,000
| FOR GIVING REBATES
Heavy Penalty inflicted on the
Chicago and Alton.
WITNESSES FEAR PROSECUTION
Sentences Imposed by Judge Landis
in Federal Court at Chicago
Former Officials Of Road Also
Convicted and Fined.


Chicago, Ill.-Judge Lands in the
United States District Court SEN
fenced the Chicago and Alton Rail-
way Company, which was recently
convicted OF granting illegal rebates
1T Kansas City. to pay fine OF
$4,000 on each of two counts, or a
total of $4,000.
John Faithorn and Fred A. Wann,
| former officials of the road, who
were also convicted, were sentenced
to pay a fine of $4,000 each on two
counts, or q total of 10000.
The defendants were fined on two
counts of an indictment containing
ten counts. The specific charge on
which they were convicted was that
they had given to the Schwsrzschild
&c Suizberger Company a rebate Of
Isl per car on all shipments from
the Kansas City plant of the pack
ing company. The defendants
claimed that the charge was made
against them by the packing COM
pany which had the right to levy it
because it owned the track near the
plant, and therefore had the right
TO charge the railroad for trackage.
Judge Lands in his instructions
practically directed, the jury to bring
in verdict of guilty. After the ver-
dict had been rendered. the attor-
neys for the railroad and for the in
dividual members asked time to
show that the rebate was not Sc
cret matter. The attorneys for the
railroad said that they had not been
able to bring witnesses into court to
testify because the wi dlesses feared
prosecution.
The judge, in passing sentence.
said that he could see no extenuating
circumstances in the granting of the
rebates. After the entering Of the
sentence the defendants gave notice
of appeal.
The fine inflicted by Judge Lam
dis is identical with that imposed on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad in a similar case by Judge
Bethea in the United States Circuit
Court.
In the United States District Court
in Kansas City, on June %, Judge
Smith Mcpherson passed sentence
upon seven defendants convicted of
making concessions and accepting
and conspiring to accept rebates on
shipments. Judgments in the nature
of fines were assessed, in the packers
cases, as follows: Swift & Co, $751;
900; Cudahy Packing Company,
SIS, 900; Armour Packing Company,
S15, 900; Nelson Morris & Co., S15,-
900: Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
Railway, $4,000.
George L. Thomas. of New York,
was fined $4,000, and sentenced to
four months in the penitentiary L.
B. Taggart. of New York, was fined
$4,000, and sentenced to three
months in the penitentiary.
A fine of $4,000 assessed against
the Burlington, covered all four
counts, the aggregate amount of the
fines in the seven cases totalling
SS5,000.

The Dog Never Knew.

Abe Trot, a well-know character of
Peaks Island, Me, was OIL his way to
the woods to cut down some trees,
carrying an axe on his shoulder and a
small terrier dog following at his heels.
They espied q woodchuck, to which
the dog gave chase and drove into u
stone wall, where action commenced at
once. Abe's sympathies being with
the dog, he decided to take hand and
help him. So, putting himself in posi-
ton, with the axe above the dog, he
waited for the extraction Of the chuck.
Soon al opportunity offered and Abe
struck, but at the same time the wood
chuck gathered himself up and pulled
the dog in far enough forh him to receive
the blow. and the dog was killed. For
years after, in relating the story, Abe
would always add: "And thet dog don't
know to this day but what that wood
chuck killed m."-Minneapolis Jour
nal.

er which has compartment distinct
from that for holding the fluid con-
tents. The purpose Of this compart-
ment is to hold ice out of contact with
the ordinary contents. The liquid in
the pitcher is shown by the shaded por'
ton Of the illustration, the pocket in
which the ice is placed being slightly
below the lower end of the handle,
This pocket projects forward and
downward and is otherwise so posi-
toned that when the pitcher is tilted
in the usual manner for the purpose of
pouring out the contents the ice. to-
gether with any water, is careened for
ward and thus prevented from leaving
the pocket. Any water from the melt
ed ice in this way cannot dilute the
contents, and the liquid maintains its
proper degree of strength.

Lyman ]. GAGE, THE0sOPH|sT
Ex-Cabinet Officer Joins Nine.
Tingley's Colony"
Millionaire Banker Got Dream Mes
sage Urging Him to Join the
Point Iona Outfit.

San Diego. Cal.-Lyman J. Gage,
former Secretary Of the Treasury,
will make his permanent home at the
Point Iona theosophical homestead,
following several years study of con-
ditions at Katherine Tingley's unique
colony.
Mr.. Gage is at present occupying
Prospect Cottage, which he owns,
near Katherine Tingley's temple.
With Mr.. Gage are Colonel and Mrs.
Brainerd. Mrs. Brainerd is Mr..
Cages sister and member of the
Universal Brotherhood, They first
induced Mr.. Gage to visit Point
Iona.
The former Secretary of the Treas
ury visited his grandchildren, who
are in the Raja School at Point Lo-
ma, several months ago, and became
imbued with the idea Of identifying
himself with the theosophists. He
is attending the lectures and his
friends say he will take up the ques-
ton course.
Plenty of probation is allowed be-
ginners, and they may withdraw at
any time when they find their ideas
clash with those of the brotherhood.
The society maintains its own thea
tre and printing plant, and is grow
ing in accessions, wealth and lntiu-
ence.
Twice within six months Mr.. Gage
has made visits to Southern Califor-
MIA. Once he stayed only over Sun
day, and the only statement that
could be secured from him or his
niece, Mrs. E. B. Miller, of 301 South
Olive street, was that he had come to
Los Angeles on private business. On
the second trip it became known that
he had gone to San Diego and had
conferred with Nine. Tingley
The only admission his relatives
would make was that he had taken to
spiritualism. That Mr. Gage has
taken up his residence in Prospect
Cottage, just south of the Homestead
In the Tingley domain, and that he
has bought for $4,000 property on
the top of Point Iona for perma-
nent home lend added interest to the
Gtory of why he dropped business af-
fairs at a moments notice and came
West.
The story. briefly told, is that he
believed he had got instruction in a
dream to seek advice ct the hands of
the Point Iona leader and at once
made plans 70 quit work and join
Nine Tingley's outfit.
Mr.. Gage, whether the story of the
dream is correct or not, has had the
persuasive voice of relatives in his
ears, for his brc "oT-in-law and Sis
ter, Colonel and ", Brainsrd, the
latter a member Of Theosophical
brotherhood, and some of the former
| Secetarys grandchildren, are pupils
in Nine. Tingleys Raja Yoga school.
Now that he has settled at Point Lo-
ma Mr.. Gage is taking q deep inter-
est in the work of Nine. Tingley and
attending all the institute lectures.

Poisonous Eggs.

Certain eggs are poisonous, and
among them are too kinds which are
commonly eaten by human beings,
namely, the hens egg and the ducks
egg.
Recent investigations made by
French chemist have demonstrated the
fact that the yolk of many eggs COLI
tain poison enough to kill small crea-
lures If administered in the form Of
injections under the skin. The ordinary
hens egg Of the breakfast table Is
capable of causing this result. The
ducks egg is still more poisonous,
while the turtles egg takes first place.
Even the white Of the turtles egg
is poisonous.
Be it noted that the toxic action oc-
ours only when the egg is used for
what medical men call subcutaneous
Injections; there is no need to be
alarmed concerning the eating of these
natural products, says Home Notes.
The process Of digestion nullifies any
noXious effects which these useful
dietary accessories may have when
taken into the system in any other
way.

KILLED IN FIGHT
HIGH UP IN AIR..
New York Policeman Attacked
by IronMorkers.
QUARREL OF W0RKINGMEN
Desperate Fracas on a Construction
Flooring on the New Building
on the Site Of the Plaza Hotel
One Man Receives Fatal Injuries

New York Cty-0ne man was
killed and two others severely in
jured in desperate battle that was
waged at noon high up on the steel
framework for the new Plaza Hotel,
at Fifty-ninth street and Fifth ave-
nue.. The man who was killed was
Michael Butler, retired policeman.
who, with the other two that we're
hurt, was employed as special po-.
liceman in the building. The spec
ial policemen had been stationed at
the building to prevent trouble be-
tween the union and the non-union
men employed there.
The fight occurred eight stories
above the sidewalk, where the spec
ial policeman had no better footing
than the planks laid across the iron
girders. The ladder leading down
to the seventh floor, the only avenue
Of escape, had been taken down be-
fore the attack was made. ~
Butler died soon after he was re-
moved to the Flower Hospital. John
J. Cullen, 33 years old, Of 19 East.
Thirty-ninth street, was also taken
to the Flower Hospital. He has in.
ternal injuries, contusions of. the,
face and badly battered eyes. Will
liam O'Toole, the third policeman,
had his nose broken and his face
bruised. He was taken home. Four
ironworkers were arrested.
O'Toole identified four of the
union iron workers as among those
who had struck him in the fight.
| They were arrested and locked up
in the East Fifty-first street station
on charges of felonious assault. They
| gave these names: John Enright.
twenty-eight years old, of No. sos
Amsterdam avenue; William Kuren,
thirty, of No. 1876 East One Hun
dred and Twenty-f1rst street; John
Behan, twenty-five, No. 758 Tenth
avenue; George M. Smith, forty-two.
No. COL East One Hundred and For
| ty-siyth street.
O'Toole told the police that there
had been ill-feeling between the
union and non-union men employed
on the new hotel ever since the work
started. The union men annoyed the
non-union men by dropping iron
bolts through the girders from the
upper stories until matters became
so bad that the services of the three
policemen were secured. Butler.
seemed to be singled out especially
for attack. He was pelted with iron
bolts and wrenches, and although he
made some show of defense he was,
soon knocked unconscious by the
rain of iron. Then he was thrown
through the girders and fell upon
some planks, stretched across the
girders on the sixth floor, where he
lay unconscious until the police from
the East Fifty-frst street station
called the ambulance for his re-
! moval -
