The Conscience OF A Dog.

Il have rough-haired terrier dog,
by name Sam, who, besides being able
to perform all sorts of tricks, is of
a high moral character" said a Wall
Street broker.
Sam sits at the front window
every morning watching for the let
ter carrier Today he saw him, as
usual, and ran off for the letters.
He returned with two in his mouth,
brought them to me, and went and
lay down again, while / resumed
reading my newspaper.
ssIn two or three minutes he rose,
went out of the room, and came back
carrying in his mouth small sealed
package which had been intTusted to
him by the postman with the letters.
You see, Sans conscience seemingly
had chided him at not completing his
work, and would not let him rest I'M
til he had delivered the package to
me. IN, Y. Times.

KilIing on savage SEED DOGS.

Malamute dogs, deprived of suffi-
Client food, have become so ferocious
in Nome that the Northern camp has
been compelled to establish a pound
and to take up all dogs whose own
ers will not care for them.
Unless the dogs can be tanned they
are shot. Scores of valuable sled
dogs have already been killed this
winter, and before spring, it is be-
lieyed, hundreds will have to be shot
to make Nome safe for women and
children.
A score or more of women and
children have been attacked by half
famished Malamutes, and it is almost
unsafe for children to wander about
town unprotected. Even men have
been attacked at times by the dogs,
and only heroic measures adopted by
the town will prevent death or maim-
ing of many people this winter. 1t
was this that led the Nome council
to order the hungry dogs killed.

The carpet, though heavy, was
quite flexible. 1t glistened like satin.

wide.

required for this carpet" said the
Indian. only the finest parts could

VIII I. was perhaps one of the qaeerest
strikes on record.
TT was at the Jesus Maria Annex
as silver mine in Sinaloa, not far
from the capital, Culiacan. The sup
eriptendent of the mine is an Ameri-
can and he had just returned from
his wedding trip, his bride being an
American young woman.
She was greatly interested in the
outside workings of the mines and
wanted to inspect the underground
operations. There is am old supersti-
tioR among the native Mexican min
ers that If a woman enters a mine
where they are at work some dis
aster is sure to follow.
4The superintenden was aware of
this feeling among the miners, of
whom several hundred were at work
in this mine under his charge, and
on the strength of it he tried to IN
duce his bride to forego her wish to
go underground. She ridiculed the
superstition and insisted that she be
shown through the mine, and her
husband gave way and took her
down.
AS he feared, CONSERVATION seized
the miners as they saw the dreaded
intrusion, and as the word went round
among them they deserted the mine
like rats leaving sinking ship. For
three days they struck against going
back into it. and it was not until the
parish priest was induced to go
through all the shafts and tunnels
and sprinkle them with holy water
that they would venture to return to
their work "-Washington Post.
