Indictments Found.

New York, Aug. 10.-The federal
grand jury appeared before Judge Hough
in the United States Circuit Court today
and handed up four or five indictments.
United States District Attorney Stimsen
was very careful that no information as
to the individuals or corporations against
whom these indictments were found
should leak out 1t is known, however,
that the grand jury about fortnight
ago found indictments against the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company and one
Of the minor transportation companies,
and since then has been gathering fur
ther information On the question of
rebates allowed to the sugar trust. Gen
eral belief around the courts this morn
ing is that the American Sugar Refining
Company and the American Sugar
Refining Company of New Jersey are
two of the defendants named, and that
one of the principal railroads Leading to
the West, with possibly one or more
officers of the corporation, are the person
named By the grand jury.

A Dog Repays Kindness.
'(First PriZe.O


When 1 was not more than 8 years OF age.
little Fred found st. Bernard which, as we bel
lieved had just leftaits puppyhood days behind
and had not fully got over them.
We were living out the farm when we
found this dog. The dog had dragged himself
down 10 the pond which was not more than
foot all cut and bleeding. We could not guess
how the dog had become hurt. We found after
wards that the dog had caught his foot In a
trap He had tugged so hard that he pulled
his foot away giving himself much pain.
We carried the dog home, or, rather. dragged
him home.
We took him to grandfather. who had been a
veterinarian in his younger days. as he
would always say. We showed the dog to him
and he took the dog and dressed his wound; and
he cared for the dog until he died.
Grandfather being kind to this dog was fully
repaid. So were we. One cold night he went
out to the barn. which about a half a block,
to see if the horses were bedded all right for
the cold December night. Grandfather had
been troubld with rheumatism and just as he left
the barn he got a crick and he fell right down
He called and called. but we did not hear him
The dog tried to help him. but could not, so he
ran to the house and brought grandmother. but
lust as she opened the door he caught hold OF
her dress and started to pull her and then NJ
ran to the front of the barn. where Srandmothel
found him. He was lying grandfather's leg
trying to keep him warm.
We always said it because he Kept goot
care of the dog. 1t always pays to be kind rt'

Horses pull heavy loads and do many things
for us. Dogs watch the houses and take care
of us. Cows give milk and meat. Sheep
give us wool. We feed them and protect them
from harm. 1t is hard to get them to under

human beings and they do not talk the Ian

treat them harshly. They are not stupid If we
treat them with patience.

kindness and was taken care Of. Dr.. Key
took patience in teaching him. He has learned
the alphabet and knows how to spell any word

There is no one in the city who has
had so wide an experience in this
Welsh enjoys the distinction of having
organized the first Bands Of Mercy in
the city, called the Sunshine Band of
Mercy. This band is In no way con-

The members are especially interested
in the school bands now forming and
they will purchase $35 worth of litera-
ture for the Horace Mann school. A
part of this may be given to Bryant
school. The Sunshine band intends
that their schools shall have Il the
strongest bands in the city. This band
also has branch in tire Seward school
placed in this school to help the teach
ers in the Band of Mercy meetings.
This branch is called Minnehaha and
it's motto is eve speak for those who
cannot speak for themselves.'
The Sunshine Band of Mercy has
demonstrated what "Uncle.z Bert

saw a little fox terrier dog In very 5t1ore-

chest which was bleeding great deal plcSed
him up and hurried home. Tho he was little

careful not to carry him in such way as to
hurt him. And my arms ached when L reached
the room in our house which had served as a
hospital for a sparrow with broken wing but
a short time before. I laid the sick dog on my
own little dogs pillow and my mother and soon
made him feel that he was with friends. We
bathed the wound with Ponds Extract and
warm water. l think the: extract must have
smarted some, because he would draw up: ana
omen his mouth as tho 1t hurt him. And once
he reached for my hand as tho he was going
to bite me. But he only licked my hand and
