DOG LEGAL TENDER
In STATE OF ILLINOIS.
Justice So Decides in Case Of q
Woman's Tailor Against a Vet.
erinarian.-

Bulldogs are full legal tender IN
Streator, ILL.,, as payment for ladies'
tailored gowns since the suit of Alex.
ander II. Whigam, a modiste. agains,
Samuel X. Austin, dog fancier, was
decided there in favor OF the de-
fendant.
Mrs. Austin's new creation, fresh
from the shop of Whigam, had been
the focus for feminine eyes there for
a fortnight. 1t was not cut directoire
style; Streator Is not yet prepared
for 1T; but the tailor and the dog
fancier both were pleased until the
last instalment Of $40 on the costume,
which was priced at $40, became due.
Then trouble began.
When Whigam came from New
York he brought pedigreed bulldog
along. 1t had a curled tail and wore
a fancy collar and It's aspect was most
forbidding. Consequently all Streator
believed Mr.. Whigam when he boasted
that il was a valuable dog.
Soon, however, the dog developed
case Of mango. Whigam ascribed the
affiiction to the change from New
York's sea air. He tried home reme-
dies, but the dog continued to lose
hair.
When at last the dog resembled
Mexican canine and cold weather was
coming on Mr.. Whigam decided that
Mr.. Austin, who knew all about dogs,
was the man TO restore its health and
its hair. But the dog died on Austin's
hands.
Whigam was inconsolable until
Austin brought him a bull pup from
his kennels. This, Whlgam now
claims, was in settlement OF the loss
of the pedigreed pup. But Austin
claims differently. When he had paid
$50 on his wifes new tailored gown
and the other $40 by agreement, came
due, Mr.. Whigam wanted the money.
Then Austin pointed to the bulldog,
told him the bill was settled and de-
manded a receipt in fun.
Whigam brought suit. The case
was called in the court Of Justice Ed
ward Myers, and the court, after hear
ing both sides, ordered the case dis
missed Several witnesses testified
that the dog was worth at least $40.
Whigam says he will appeal.

Hay on Church Floor.

A curious custom was observed at
Old Nestor Church on Sunday. The
church is dedicated TO st. Swithin.
and on festival days the church is
strewn with hay. Many years ago
some doner left a field TO provide
money for bread which is distrib-
uted four times a year. The tenant
OF the field has to supply the hay TO
strew the church. The custom is
supposed 10 have originated from the
fact that on festival Sunday the par
ishioners wear new boots, and the
idea OF the donor was to have the hay
laid down 10 stop the squeaking Incl
dental 10 the new footwear. On
Sunday the hay was duly laid down

Dog Dives For Fish.

Matthew Breen, restaurant
Keeper of Paris, H., is the owner of
dog Of unknown pedigree and breed
which dives at his masters command
and rarely fails TO bring a fish to the
surface of the water and then to the
bank, provided a suitable place for
his fishing" is picked out for him.
The dogs penchant for fishing was
already developed when Breen pur-
chased him in the South for $25.
Since then the owner of the canine
has gone on many fishing excursions
with the animal, and the brute al
ways makes a better catch than the
master. Recently the dog dived into
the Wabash River at the word from
Breen. and after remaining under
water for more than minute brought
up German carp weighing twenty
eight pounds.
The dog is about the size OF a full
grown shepherd dog and has short
brown hair.-Danville (ul.) Dispatch

A descendant of Tama's band of
Musquakie Indians is now the en-
gineer Of fast passenger train on the
Burlington road. He is here on the
same ground where his ancestors
lived for many generations. He
crosses the same rivers, surveys the
same landscapes, observes the same
phenomena of wind. temperature,
storms, etc, that were familiar to
his ancestors of centuries ago. He
wears more clothes than they wore,
and he speaks a different language,
and he is serving civilization instead
OF barbarism. Few II any OF the pas
sengers who ride behind him know
that a Tama Indian sits in the cab OF
the engine as 1t speeds over the
prairies.-The Burlington Post.

A Century Ago at Sea.

A. NJ. Devereux, of Castine. Me-.
has in his possession the ships
articles Of the schooner Classia and
Eliza on a voyage from Boston to
Castine, thence 10 some port in the
West Indies and return, in 1902. The
schooner was in command of one
Matthias Rider, Jr., master, and was
manned by a crew of first and second
mates, cook, ships boy and three
seamen, which in these days would
be considered sufficient for a large
three master. The pay list is of in
terest as compared with the present
day, as by this paper the master re-
ceived $25 a month, the two mates
$22 and S17 respectively, and the
seamen $12 a month, while the boy
received $3.50. The back Of the
articles shows a copy Of the laws for
the government Of seamen in the
merchant service signed by George
President; John Adams,
and Thomas Jeffer-
son, Secretary Of State.

A Beautiful Memorial.

All people are familiar with the
story of Sir George Williams, the
Englishman who founded the Young
Mems Christian Association; whose
work spread to every land, and who,
in recognition of his services to hui
manity, was knighted by his sover-
eign.
England has several memorials, and
now the United States, in which the
Y. NJ. c. A. movement has reached its
greatest magnitude, is to have a COM
memorative piece of sculpture worthy
Of the man whose bust it will bear.

ScnIAbS.

Two scarabs which are engaging
the attention of the French Academy
OF Inscriptions and Bellies Lettres
should set at rests all doubts as 10
whether Africa really was circum-
nayigated so long ago as 600 b. c.
By an explorer commissioned by the
Egyptian king. For these scarabs
seem TO be genuine official records of
the voyage. one Of them given by the
explorer himself. But the evidence
in favor OF the truth of the story re-
corded by Ilerodotus has always been
convincing. He mentions the naviga-
tors statement that in sailing round
Africa they had the sun on their
right hand-that is, to the north
dismissing this as a travellers tale
which he for one could not believe.
OF course, any voyager around Africa
would see the sun in that position,
though no one in Herodotus' time
who had not done so would be likely
to believe it. Hence this very detail
proves the trustworthiness of the
whole story.-London Chronicle.

for fastening all manner of garments.
These substitutes have taken the form
Of hooks and eyes, of all shapes and
sizes, and similar patented clasps. An
entirely new idea in this line that
should prove successful is shown
here. This clasp consists of a clasp
comprising a stud anG a cooperating
eyelet. Both are formed Of hard rub
Der and attached to shanks, which
are fastened to the garment. The
stud IS hollow, and is shaped similar
TO the ordinary collar button. The
eyelet is slightly smaller than the
widest portion of the stud, to insure a
firm hold. Being of rubber the eye
let naturally will expand sufficiently
to slip over the stud. The latter be-
ing hollow and also Of rubber will
contract, making the operation of
slipping on the eyelet an easy matter.
When the eyelet and stud are thus
clasped considerable force is required
to unfasten Washington Star.

Ben, retired seaman, 81 certainly did
see some wonderful things when
was cruising around the seven seas.
Why, once we had a sawfish to follow
the Nancy Jones for a thousand miles.
We used TO throw him off the leavings
from the galley and when we'd hit a
calm, why, the sawfish would saw up
our firewood in stove lengths. All we
had to do was to toss the long sticks
over and he'd saw them up in a jiffy.
Then we'd take a long rake and rake

General Darlington released all the
prisoners from the guardhouse,

ployes and citizens and then mus
tered only 119 men, not enough to
defend the walls I'm case Of attack.
The wives and children OF the men
in the first detachment were nearly
crazy with anxiety, and this deepened
when an orderly galloped In from the
relieving party and stated that the
valley on the other side OF the ridge
was filled with Indians and that no
sign of Fetterman was to be seen.
General Darlington ordered the two
relieving parties to consolidate, and
told them TO unite with Fetterman,
He ordered in the wood train, which
gave him ffty-four men TO spare for
tho relieving expedition. Later in
the afternoon Captain Ten Eyck's
men returned with details OF the ap.
palling disaster. In the wagon were
forty-nlne OF Fetterman's men, leav.
ing thirty-fOur unaccounted for. Ten
Eyck had remained on the defensive
on the brow of the hill, though the
Indians had tried by every means to
make him follow them into the val.
ley. He found the bodies OF the sol.
diers where they had fallen, and
there was evidence Of terrible con.
nlct on the hill. The soldiers had
taken refuge behind some huge rocks
and the forty-nine men he had
brought back were found in space
about six feet square. They had
been shot full of arrows. scalped and
mutllated. Captain Fetterman and
Captain William Brown, the post
quartermaSter. were found side by
side. each with bullet wound IN his
temple. Evidently they had stood
face to face and each had shot the
other dead rather than be taken
alive by the Indians.

General Henry b. Darlington and
a few other survivors Of old Fort
Phil Kearny recently revisited the
scene of the Fetterman massacre
in Wyoming and took part in exer-
cises commemorating the slaughter
of eighty-three men by Red Cloud s

Darlington was practically besleged
for two years by the great chief, Red
Cloud, who Is now near death from
old age on a Dakota reservation.
Fort Phil Kearny was established on
the old BoZeman trail, over which
many pioneers were pushing their
way westward in the COS. Travel
over this trail was very dangerous,
and hardly n wagon train passed
through the hunting grounds Of the
Sioux without being attacked. When
the fort was established Red Cloud
and his warlike braves were furious
and renewed their attacks upon the
white men with redoubled vigor.
General Darlington himself superin-
tended the building OF the fort. He
made a strong stockade, which sur
rounded the buildings and parade
ground and constituted an impreg-
nable defense. Red Cloud was too
crafty to try to assault the fort, but
he laid constant siege TO It, and no.
body dared venture beyond the stock
ade without a heavy guard OF sol
diers. In the first six months after
the establishment OF the fort the In
dIans killed 154 persons. including
citizens and soldiers. There were
ffty-one demonstrations near the
fort, and every train that passed on
the trail was attacked.
