LATTER TWICE ESCAPED FROM
SERIOUS POSITIONS WITH AID
OF FAITHFUL CANINE.
ONCE THROWN FROM ROwBOAT
Charles Stanley Would Have Drowned
But tor Animals Timely Assist
ance-Also Hauled from
Under Snow.

Boston, Mass.-There is at least one
dog in Massachusetts which will never
feel the restrainment of a muzzle,
whatever edicts may be issued by the
state cattle bureau.
The dog belongs to Charley Stanley
of Avon, and is no ordinary dog. On
two occasions he has helped his
master out of serious scrapes, once
saving his life. During his II years
of life he has proven himself a good
protector of Stanley, besides doing
faithful duty as a bird retriever.
1t was n summers day that Spry
saved his masters life. Mr.. Stanley,
who is considerable of a sportsman,
had started out on a fishing trip off
Scituate, and Spry was his only com
panion.
Everything went well until they
were out of sight of and and Stanley
had settled down for a good days
fishing. Then, without apparent rea-
son, the boat upset, and Stanley and
Spry found themselves houndering in
the water, with no help in sight and
the boat drifting away.
The dog, OF course, was in his ele-
ment, but with Stanley it was differ
ent. Becoming exhausted, he was
slowly sinking when the dog came to
his aid, seized him by the collar and
tugged him to within reaching dis
lance of the boat, and there, the dog
on top of the u%pturned boat and Stan
ley hugging it closely, they remained
until they attracted the attention of
another boat which hove in sight, and
were brought ashore.
Since then the two have been bound
together by all the affection which
can exist between man and beast.
Soon after Stanley had an occasion
to repay the dog.
Once again he essayed a fishing
trip, but this time in the company of
two friends and without the dog, for
the three were all that the BOA could
comfortably hold.
When about a mile out a gurgling
sound was heard behind them, and
on looking around they discovered the
dog swimming toward them, weary
from his eXertions and barely able
to move his paws. Twice he sank
beneath the choppy seas before the
boat could be put about to save him
and it was only as he was about tc
sink for the third time that Stanley
managed to grasp him by the collar

The spreading of disease by insects
is now proving to be much more com
mon than was believed to be the case
but a year ago or even a few months
ago, says American Medicine. The
greatest attention has hitherto been
given to those diseases wherein the
1psect acts the part of a secondary
hostfn which the parasite undergoes
some kind of change not possible in
man-malaria, yellow fever. ilaria,
Texas fever, etc. 1t is interesting to
find increasing attention being given
to the possibility Of the mechanical
transmission Of infective organisms
from man to man by means of the
commoner insects, flies, bedbugs,
reaches and heas. There is no reas-
enable doubt that in recenS wars flies
we're responsible for the transfer of
typhoid bacilli to foods which we're
not screened.

For several years Smith has rented
a house of John Mccain. but last fall
he purchased a lot on Ridge street and

he was to lose his tenants he became
spiteful and decided to make things

The Smiths had a lease of the Nc
Cam house until April 10, and two or
three days previous to. that time their
landlord notified them that they would
have to yacate exactly on that date.
Mr.. Smith pleaded to be allowed to
remain at an advance in rent until
his " house would be finished,
which would be within a couple Of

TAKES CAT HOME FOR STEAK.
Mysterious Exchange Of Packages
Causes Great Annoyance.

Plainfield, n. with a nice large
steak in one Plainfield home, and the
body of a deceased cat in some other
home, two families are wondering who
has the package which belongs to
them, and n family is probably very
angry at what seems like a joke.
A handsome pet cat belonging to l..
NJ. Smith, of this city, passed away
suddenly, and the father. knowing how
the children would feel if they knew
it, decided to carry it to New York.
Absent-mindedly he carried the
package to the office and back to the
train, and then decided to leave it in
the seat.
AS he was getting out of the car
here he was called by a trainman with
the remark; Here is your package"
There was nothing to do but take it.
Arriving home he was asked by his
wife what he had in the package, and
he said: ooh, that cat. l forgot to
drop it on the ferry" His wife said:
That is not the bundle you took
away"
On looking into it they found a nice
large steak. Now Smith is wondering
where the cat is, and someone else is
probably having difficulty trying to ex-
plain why the dead cat came in place
of the meat for dinner.

Through an appeal for funds to com.
plete the restoration and repair of the
Church of st. Michael and All Angels,
In the parish Of Dartmoor, England,
an almost forgotten bit Of history has
beer called to light. The church,
standing on the rugged heights of that
wild country which Blackmore made
so familiar through "Lora Doone," is
the most elevated house of worship in
all England, as the village in which 1t
stands is the highest inhabited village
in England, and the parish, which
contains 10000 acres of moor and
heath and stream is the largest in
England. But it is in its origin that
the church is most interesting, says
Youths Companion. Built in the early
years of the nineteenth century, the
stones of which it is made were quar-
ried and put in place by the labor Of
French and American prisoners of war
held there in exile while Europe shook
with the thunders of the Napoleonic
wars. The graves of many of these
exiles still cluster round the old
church.

Because Of these incidents Spry
will never suffer from a muzzle. Stan
ley is firm in his declaration that his
dog shall never wear one, and recent
ly there happened another incident
which further strengthened that de-
cision.
It was the day after the blizzard,
and Stanley, who works in a shoe
factory at Brockton. found himself

noundering in the drifts before he
had gone far. AS Stanley is short,
he soon found himself in a drift from
which he could not extricate himself,
and so called for assistance.
But the hour was early and nobody
heard him, so he tried the experiment
of whistling for his dog. It worked,
for the dog came bounding from
somewhere in the barn, and, dashing
through the snow to his master was
the means of Juggling him to a less
deep part, from where Stanley was
able to return to the house.
So Spry, having established himself
as a hero, is now entitled to the re-
ward of a hero, and will suffer only
the lesser of the two evils-that of
being obliged to stay in the house or
go leashed while out.
But even this is not so bad, for
Spry is old and has not much desire
to travel about. At home he will
have every reward that a dog hero
is entitled to, and will enjoy life from
his perch in a bay window of the
Stanley home, pampered and petted

The Riaht to the Land.

The rioting in Roumania, with which
the civil war began last month, grew
out Of the struggle of the peasantry
for control of the land, a struggle sim.
liar to that now in progress in Russia
and Ireland. Until 1864 the peasants
of Roumania were serfs. The land
was owned by the church, the n
teries and the noblemen. The peas
ants cultivated 1t, n paid a 1.-THE
Of the product to the proprietors.
They also had grazing and fuel rights
In the pastures and forests of the
proprietors. When, in 1864, the law
was passed for the emancipation of
the serfs by the distribution of the
land among them, the fuel and grazing
rights were extinguished, and the peas
ants, although each household re-
ceived title to from seven to fifteen
acres on easy terms of payment, had
to continue to work for the old pro-
p%rietors to get money to pay for their
fuel. They we're o o at the mercy
of money-lenders, who eXacted usuri-
GUS rates of interest. Many attempts
to improve their condition have been
made, either by increasing the amount
Of land which they could own, or by
the establishment of an agricultural
bank to deliver them from the private
money lenders, but these attempts
ave not been wholly successful, says
Youths Companion. Large tracts Of
land have been leased by s%yndicates
and sublet to tenant farmers at high
rates, and the taxes on the peasant
owners have been heavy. AS a re-
suit, great suffering has been caused
among the sons and daughters OF those
who were surfs only a generation ago.
The ignorance and i%mprovidence OF
the peasants, combined with the OPP
pressions of the money-lenders, have
led to conditions which the peasants
think can be relieved only by resort
TO violence. They have been wrought
apo by designing politicians with dis
astrous resultsl The government has
announced it's purpose to remit some
Of the heaviest tax aud to reform the
land system.
