Poodle Pup Treated with seoTn by
His Little Brothers.

FL Paso, Tex.-A dog with five feet
is a new El Paso curiosity, which is
entitled to a high seat beside the
two-headed calf, the two-faced cock
and other freaks of the animal king
dom.
This new freak is the property Of
Policeman Harry Cherry, now of the
park beat, Eel Paso. The dog is a
poodle, coming from the pest stock,
and having a pedigree several yards
long.
1t is a milk-white color. dark eyes,
and a cunning grin; in fact, all tho
marks which characterize a high-bred
poodle. But, Notwithstanding all
these, IL has five feet, and for this
reason its two little brothers, who
were brought in the world at the
same time, have begun to take notice
that there is something wrong with
their playmate and brother, and in.
stead of welcoming him in that broth.
erly spirit characteristic Of poodles,
they turn the cold shoulder and kick
the unfortunate one with the extra
leg from the nest.
The three poodle pups are now
about three weeks old. Officer Cherry
says he did not notice anything
wrong with any of them until he
saw two of the pups fighting and
whining at the other, and trying to
push him away from them. He al
first thought they were playing, and
paid no attention, but his attention
vas again attracted by the same per
Torrance, and he then noticed thai
the pup who was being whipped by
his two brothers was a freak in thai
it had five feet.
The fifth foot is Joined to the left
front foot and is complete except foi
the fact that there is no thumb. i
moves with the left foot ard the pun
seems to possess the use Of it a,
with his other feet.
While the mother of the dog tool
no notice, apparently, of the freak
and treated the pup the same as tn,

able to see, and ever since have beer

like a soldiers that had seen service,
but his voice, though clear, was soft
and musical. He was a typical bandit
Of song and story, plying his danger
Gus trade in the sombre mountains
of the isthmus, smiling at smartly
dressed soldiers and their nickelDlated
guns.
No one could tell Just how 1t hap
pened, or when, but at the last count
the two carbines spoke simultaneously
and Camilla sank at the feet OF the
brigand chief with a bullet in her
breast. De Gomara's right arm was
perforated by the ball from the enc
my's detected weapon. With a strange
cry, Moreno stopped and lifted the
stricken girl. Then he looked across
the gorge.
"A truce, gentlemen" he said; "the
lady's hit. will Senior de Gomara
please come over? My men will guide
him and protect him."
Moreno walked down the narrow
cliff roadway and then disappeared in
a rude shanty on the mountain side.
When the hacendado entered a few
minutes later he saw the brigan1 on
his knees beside the cot, the dying
girls arms around his neck. Her eyes
were looking into his with pathetic
devotion.
They made me do it, my dear
Moreno" she murmured; thou wilt
forgive poor Camilla, who never
ceased to love thee?"
The brigand run his hand through
the tawny tresses and whispered some
thing no one else heard. The dark
eyes smiled; then closed forever. For
a moment or two the hunted man
knelt with bowed head. Then he arose
and looked into the face of the one
with whom he had fought.
Her last words were of love and
forgiveness" he said, with a curious
trembling of the voice. Il imagine
she mistook me for you"
The hacendado's eyes frightened.
Heaven be praised!" he exclaimed;
Il feared she loved you"
Not likely" returned Moreno, with
affected carelessness. 81 had heard
of her in-in a general way-that's all.
Her dust is yours

Science and Music.

Although we speak loosely of sweet
sounds as musical, music proper X
lists in nature not at all. 1t belongs
utterly to art. When Lorenzo said to
Jessica: There's not the smallest orb
which thou behold'st but in his mo-
ton like an angel sings" he spoke
beautifully, but in metaphor. Music
is the most artificial of the arts, and
therefore to some minds, like that of
Pater, the purest, since form and
meaning are Identical. 1t has also
been generally accepted as the most
religious. Beethoven exclaimed: Il
know that God is nearer to me in my
music thar to others" And Luther
said: Next to theology, l give to
music the highest place and honor;
and we see how David and all the
saints have wrought their cody
thoughts into verse. rhyme and song"
1t seems rather strange, therefore
says Golfers, that this art, being the
most ethereal, should be the one
which promises to be most mechan'
ically produced. It's progress has
been dependent upon mechanical in
vention, until the orchestra reached
dts present state, and now every effort
of inventive science is turned on the
elimination of the human player
Whether or not this effort shall sue
coed entirely in giving the very best,
1t is certain to result in giving music
of considerable quality a larger place
in thte lives of millions, and there
fore it ought to be one Of the most
spiritually valuable directions of mod
ern scientific progress.

LEAVES FORTUNE FOR POOR.
Wealthy Denver Woman Provides Fue
for the Unfortunate.

Denver.-By her will Mrs. Belle B.
Edwards, the eccentric aged woman
who died recently, has left the bulk OF
her fortune for the purchase of fuel
for the poor of this city.
The International Trust company is
to control the estate, valued at about
100000, and each year is to pay the
income to the First Church of Christ
Scientist.
The directors of this church are to
use the money, as stated, to keep the
poor of Denver warm during the win
ter.
Mrs. Edwards was the widow of ODD
Edwards, who died several years ago
After her husbands death she erected
a magnificent mausoleum in Fair
mount cemetery, where his remain

Like the man in Brooklyn, N. Y.
who was SO faithful to the memory o
his dead wife, Mrs. Edwards used tc
sit in the tomb day after day keeping

Her will provides that the income

She was such a little thing, and so
used to bow her tawny head at the
caprices of earth, air and sky, that
nothing was further from her parents
minds than her reluctance when the
lord of San Jose valley condescended
to ask his Woodworking poems for
their daughter. Just why Camilla's
glowing, black eyes should flush with
tears instead of shine with delight at
the great honor was beyond the d.
vination of the star readers, and she
never told. The marriage of the
daughter meant the liberty of the par
ents. The big hacendado had sworn
it. He was a good mar and would
keep his word. Camilla knew that.
The prelado who was to perform the
ceremony had called to congratulate.
He told her any maiden in the prov
ince would be rightly proud to win
the love of de Gomara, and left her
quite dutiful.
The wedding was a fine affair.

extended a soft white hand to we'll
wishing friends. Military men from
the Alajuela mountain garrison
formed a fair proportion of the guests,
and their smart uniforms blended
artistically in the sparkling panorama
under the chandeliers.
The perfume of rare flowers, the
dangerous melodies of CASTLE and the
subtle magnetism of bright eyes that
outshone their own diamonds chased
the glad hours away. In groups of
two to ten the guests were scattered
about the verandas and the softly
lighted lawns. AS they walked side
by side under the shadow of the date
palms the young husband was gently
breathing the story of his first love
to the starlit face beside him. In
words of boyish enthusiasm he
sketched the rose-strewn way along
the velvet path of life. She listened
as a glad child, and for answer raised
her warm, trembling lips to his. A
tall streak of fire shot out from the
sullen mouth of Carriage volcano.
Its the birth of love, murmured
the adoring husband; its a good
omen, sweetheart"
Camilla assented, her coral lips
showing the white gems beneath.
They had reached the far end of the
lawn, where de Gomara stopped and
raised his hand to the star-decked
heavens.
May thy richest blessings
Quicker than the stealthy action of
a tiger two dark-eyed men came out
of the shadows and, leaping upon the
hacendado, gagged him and bound his
hands. Then as swiftly and as noise.
lessly they gently picked up Camilla
and gently passed her across the
hedge, where a sinister crew of dark
figures awaited, ike vampires of the
swamps.

The music and the dance went on;
tie stars glowed out of the dark
canopy and now and then Carriage dis
charged a column of white, hot flame.
Then a discovery was made by a pair
of promenaders. The stricken hacen-
dado was released and the military
gentlemen mounted in hot tls e.
Ten thousand pesos for tie Erigand
Moreno, dead or alive!"
So cried the lord of San Jose valley
as he climbed into the saddle on his
great bla k stallion and led the way.
A like reward had been standing
against the bandit captain by federal
warrant since he had relieved the
bank at Alajuela some moons back,
and there were in addition captaincies
and %colonelships galore for the sub
alterns who crossed swords with him
and lived.
Under the tropic heavens, through
the perfumed foliage, into the wild
mountains rode the %rescuers, three
hundred strong. Fercely in the
van Numbered the black steed of
the h~acendado, his riders mind
considering the most appropriate
punishment for the %malefactor.
The laws merciful prescription of
rife balls before breakfast was
r%idiculously inadequate. The faGgots
or boiling oil seemed a better remedy,
yet scarcely measuring up to the ext
gency. He would consult the monks,
who had read up on the inquisition,
and perhaps an ideal method might
be suggested.
AS the ascent grew sleeper the party
d~eployed. De Gomara and his retinue
keeping straight ahead, turned sudden
ly into a roadway cut into the side of
! the mountain. Across the abyss was
Moreno and his fantastic crowd of
outlaws lined up as If waiting. Camilla
sat on the saddle in front of her cap
tor. De Gomara, with a cry of rage,
raised his carbine. The bandit held
up his right hand.
"senor de Gomara," he said, 1T
would be a pity to slaughter a hundred
good men when two will suffice"
The h%acendado understood.
$50 be It," he returned; you on
that side and l on this till one shall
die
Moreno dismounted and gently as
sisted Camilla to alight. He indicated
a safe place for her to stand and
walked down the road bordering the
chasm on his side. 1t was agreed thai
a captain in the pursuing party should
count. The bandit stepped boldly Out
in the center of the road. He was q

Some Tasty Dressings.

Every housewife has her own recipe
for tasty dressings. A somewhat I'M
usual dressing is this. commonly
known as sour sauce Having boiled
or baked the beets until tender, peel
and slice. Put a half cup vinegar over
the fire with a tablespoonful butter, a
teaspoonful of sugar, a half teaspoon
full salt and a good dash of pepper.
When it boils thicken with a table
spoonful cornstarch dissolved in two
of water. Stir constantly until smooth,

ON CITY FUNDS.

In connection with decision of the
Edmunds campaign document for
which the taxpayers, through the ''re-
form" council, have paid, or will pay,
1900. The Herald commented on Ed
munds' statement that the citys bank
balances are not drawing interest. We
called attention 10 the fact that Fisher
Harris, the last Democratic treasurer,
collected interest on city deposits and
turned the money into the city treasu-
~. 1t has been some days since The
Herald's comment was published, but
as yet nobody with authority to speak
for the administration has explained
this matter.
Again we ask: Why is this money
admitted to be not far from three
quarters of a million dollars-not draw
ing interest? And if it is drawing in
terest, who is getting the money, and
why doesn't the city get it? The apol-
Dgists for the ''reformers" have had
nothing pertinent to say on this subject.
they have, indeed, had nothing to say
at all. Their case is utterly and entire
ly indefensible. Why should the banks
not pay the city-and when we say the
city we do not mean any individual
member or members of the city admin
istration-interest on heavy balances?
The lowest interest rate would be not
less than per cent. From Jan. 1 to
July l the city, according to the state
ment of Edmunds, or Edwards" the
$1,000 beauty, has had on deposit an
average OF more than 100000 of water
bond money at one or more Of the IA
vored banks At per cent per annum
the city would have derived from this
fund the sum of $10,500 for the six
months, enough to pay the salaries of
four or five heads of departments for
an entire year. Why didn't the city
get the money? Why are the banks
getting the use of it free, if they are
getting it free?
The matter is one that must not be
lightly passed over. The precedent that
the city is entitled to interest on its
deposits was set by a Democratic adj
Yninistration. No good citizen will ques-
ton the wisdom of the proceeding; GER
tainly no honest city employe will ques-
sion 1t. And just as certainly Mayor
Thompson, the city treasurer or anyone
else who may be responsible for the
failure OF the city to receive this inter
est viii be called TO an accounting. Will
not one of the organs of the reform
ers" offer some explanation? We await
At with an interest which, we are free
TO confess, is not unmixed with Curl
psity.
