WHERE GYP WENT.
Journeyed 124 Miles in a Week to
See Her Puppies.

JOurneyed 124 Miles in a Week to
See Her Puppies.
Gyp, an 18-mOnths-old fox terrier, be-
longing to Harry G. Fisher of No. $50
East Seventh street, south, has distin-
guished herself again, writes a Salt
Lake City correspondent to the Boston
Evening Globe.
While on a visit at Weston, Idaho,
with her master during the last sum-
mer Gyp first attracted attention. Mr..
Fisher stayed at a ranch owned by
August Jensen. One day by barking
and yelping and jumping in front Of
her master she aroused his curiosity.
This done, she led him to a litter Of
little blinking puppies. Gyp's family
dwindled down TO two before many
weeks had passed. When Mr. Fisher
was ready to come home Gyp had been
with her little charges six weeks.
The time had now come to say good
by. Gyp was brought to Salt Lake and
her puppies were kept at the Jensen
ranch.
About four weeks ago Mr.. Fisher
missed Gyp. Believing she had gone
but a short distance, he did not become
worried until she had been away from
home for a whole day. The Fisher
family grieved over their loss, thinking
Gyp had been stolen or killed.
A happy thought struck Mr.. Fisher
two weeks ago. He dropped a post
card to August Jensen, Weston, Idaho,
and few days later an answer was
received.
The message brought the startling
informationn that Gyp had reached
the Jensen ten days before.
'IIer arrival was the occasion OF
much rejoicing in the kennel" read the
note. 'aThe two pups and Gyp barked
and rolled each other around in great
shape"
Gyp covered 124 miles in six or seven
days to see her two babies.

TILTED FOUR TIMES.

Washington Failed to Win Sweet
heart Until He Met Martha Custis.
When Colonel George Washington
first met Martha Custis she was a
dashing widow yet in her 20s, beauti-
full, charming and wealthy, says
Broadway. The father Of his country
promptly fell In love with the lady
and promptly laid siege to her heart.
His wooing was speedy. A chance
meeting at the house of Major Cham
berlayne, an afternoon and evening
with the belle Of Virginia and he was
almost an accepted sutton. But the
gallant colonel was not exactly an
at least had the experience of great
mistakes to profit by. For history re-
cords the fact that there were four la
dies who declined the golden oppor-
tunity to share the heart and the home
and the glory of the afterward great
est American gentleman.
Why? Only the sphinx that could an
swer the immortal riddle Of mankind
might tell. Handsome, we'll dressed,
skilled In the elegant accomplishments
of the day, and above all q soldier, ap-
parently Col. George Washington
ought to have been a lover so attract
i've any woman would have fluttered
to his arms. But they didn't. The
ladies who thus failed of the lustrous
niche in history that they might have
had were, In turn, miss Of years,
whom her sutton of soulful II indicted
as the "Loveland Beauty" a Miss
Fontleroy, Miss Cary and a coquet-
fish Miss Mary Phillipse, whose an
cestral manor house at Yonkers, N. Y,
is to this day reckoned as a sort of ro-
mantle shrine.
But from this train of experience
the soldier, who later was able so bril-
ilantly to plan a campaign, doubtless
learned wisdom. He must at least
have found out how not to do it, for
when he laid siege to the heart of the
widow Custis 1t was done with a mas
ter hand that found the right way as
easily as If 1t had never failed at the
trick.

Among the many curious inscriptions
that are to be found ON the tombstones
that mark the last resting places OF
some of the early pioneers of the town
Of Manchester one of the most curious
is in what is known as the old Green
house cemetery on tombstone erected
in 1914 to the memory Of Timothy
Ryan. On May II, 1914, he was at
tackled by his bees and stung to death.
The following epitaph appears on his
tombstone:
A thousand ways cut short our days,
None are exempt from death,
A honey bee by stinging me
Did stop my mortal breath.
This grave contains the last remains
OF my frail house of clay,
Ny soul is gone, not to return,
To one eternal day.

Modern steamships are so construct
ed that when they run on the rocks, If
you cannot save the whole boat you can
save part Of 1t. This was proved few
weeks ago by salvagers who were work
ing over the White Star steamship
Suevic which went ashore under the
Lizard lighthouse on March II. The
boat was fast on the rocks, and it was
impossible to pull 1t off, so the salvag-
ers decided to cut it in two. They
left the bow on the rocks, towed away
the after two-thirds containing the en-
gines, and landed 1t safely in South
amptOn harbor. Now it will be neces-
sary to build only a new bow, as lob
ster grows a new claw when 1t loses
an old one.

It has often been asked how much
influence the wife Of a public man
bears on his political career. This Is
hard to estimate, but this much IS GER
tain: The man who comes to Washing
ton either as a member OF Congress or
Of some other branch of the govern
ment where his position is one Of prom
inence is very unfortunate If his wife
is not one whom he can trust to max
ing her way socially. Not necessarily
being a great social success, but capable
of mingling with the average woman
at the national capital. For in spite
of the fact that a small percentage Of
society looks leniently upon the mar
ried couple who are seldom seen In pub
lie together, the average sound Ameri-
can believes in the comradeship Of
man and wife.

to his waist for holding the fruit al
ready picked. In one he also carries
clipper to cut the stems off the fruit.
Frequently the cutter slips from MS
grasp and falls to the ground below.
To prevent such happenings a western
man has invented the clipper shown
here, which is firmly secured to the
hand. The two blades being connected
to springs, the action is made exceed
ingly easy. In addition it does not In
terfere with the free movement of the
hand at all times.
