Buys Stray Dogs to Kill.

New York.-Tarrytown, like every other town, has more dogs than is good for it. The problem of getting rid of them has been serious for Poundmaster William Martin, and as the dogs have not disappeared as fast as the people think they should, he called in the small boys to help him.
 To this end he is advertising in a Tarrytown newspaper as follows:
 DOGS WANTED-To any boy who will bring me dog, I will give him six tickets for the moving picture show that will give him an opportunity to enjoy himself every night in the week William Martin, Poundmaster."
 Martin gets $1.25 from the village for each dog he kills, and as the tick cts only cost 25 cents, he expects to make $25 day. The boys are now securing the village for dogs and they say when the supply in Tarrytown runs short that they will go to other villages and bring them in.

DOVE STUCK IN ORGAN PIPE.
Church People Close SteepIe and Birds
 Seek Shelter Elsewhere.

Coatesville, Pa.-There is a sequel of the oldest and most striking sort to the fastening up of all possible en, frances to Trinity church steeple with the purpose of shutting out pigeons that had overrun the belfry
 Flying about, lost and bewildered, the birds have since behaved in the saddest fashion, and even when the shades of twilight settled into dusk these birds, accustomed like all others but owls to go to roost with the sun, circled round and round the belfry.
 During the services, the choir and congregation were surprised when a pretty pigeon made it's appearance at the end of one of the tubes of the pipe organ.
 The bird had flown down one of the ornamental pipes and was only able to get it's head out at the lower end. The organ will have to be torn apart to get the pigeon out.

his shoes and socks, as well as his roll of money-$250-and about s250 in jewelry, was gone. Nor did he have | his hat.
 McMillan set the porters and train crew at work to find clothing, think ing that some joker friend had taken it, but it was not to be found. The train had made frequent stops in the night, and it is supposed that at one of the stops the sneak thief got on | board and carried off MT. McMillan 8 wardrobe without waiting to sort things out.
 The plight of McMillan, however. was more pitiful than would at first appear. as the train was racing into Pittsburg at great speed and there was not a man on the train who weighed over 40 pounds, and so the question of borrowing pair of pants for MT. McMillan's 200 pounds seemed beyond question.
 Finally the Pullman conductor, who weighed 137 pounds, announced that he had three pairs of extra trousers in a locker. MT. McMillan split two of the pairs trying to get into them, even partly, but the third pair held good, and aided by sheet kindly contributed by the porter, the lumber king was enabled to reach the bag gage shed of the police station, where he got chance to telephone home for aid.
 q am a peaceable man and l don't want to meet the man who stole my clothes" said Mr McMillan. If l do I'm afraid I'll kill him. l travelled about 65,000 miles in the last Is months, but never had a trick like that played on me before.
 Tt don't look good to come racing into big city with nothing on but short undershirt and fancy vest, and a lot of splinter weights into whose trousers you couldn't get one leg of fering you advice"

Pete Is a knoWjnu Trout.

Minstead, Conn.-Pete, lone trout in a deep spring at Wintergreen, the summer home of MT. Stone, at High land lake, answers to his name, com ing to the surface whenever it is spoken He also has been taught to jump out of the water to take worms from a persons fingers.
 Pete is one of three trout placed last summer in small pond fed by the spring He worked his way up the small underground stream into the walled spring during the winter. Sev- eral trout of Petes size-fully ten inches long-have been placed in the spring at different times this season to keep him company, but the instant they were released he attacked and killed them. Pete has kept the spring free of insects and frogs.

More Cave Paintinos.

The prehistoric inhabitants of France, dwelling in cayerns at time when reindeer and bison lived in that part of Europe, seem to have been re- markedly fond of pictures. Many crude paintings left by them have been discovered on the walls of their underground habitations, ,sand recently, in the Portel cavern, series of 40 of these pictures, representing animals and men, was found. They are col cred in red and black, both by line drawing and in wash. Some of them are covered with a stalagmitic layer formed by water dripping for cen turies. The most numerous repre- sentations are those of horses; but bison, reindeer and men are also rep resented

Bishop Says to Kill Flies.

Milwaukee, Wis.-"The house fly is to us what the wild beasts are to the residents of Africa and 1ndia,' de- clares Charles c, Grafton, Episcopal bishop of Fond du Lac.
 "As God put man into the world to subdue 1t. it is part of his duty to put out of existence those who are his enemies in the propagation of dis ease" he said. T have known some persons who objected to killing flies because of their natural kindness to animals, but the true character of the fly has only lately been known.

Wireless Time Siqnals.

Mons. Bouquet de la Grye has sug- gested to the French Academy of Sci ences a wide use for the great wireless telegraph installation on the Eff1el tower. At present the signals can be sent to distance of about 200 miles from the tower, but he thinks that with increase of electric energy the effective distance might be doubled He suggests, then, that by information al arrangement a special signal could be sent from the tower precisely at midnight. Paris time, and this signal being received upon ships far out at sea, would furnish navigators with an invaluable check upon their chronom eters by giving them the exact hour at a known point on the earth.

unique, certainly the meanest, sneak thief who ever entered Pullman car.
 While en route from Baltimore to Pittsburg over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad the thief stole every stitch of clothing possessed by Mir. McMillan while the latter slept. The lumber king, who weighs 200 pounds, had re- tired wearing only little dinky ath- letic undershirt.
 He had this when he was walked, and in addition he had been left his fancy vest, great, gaudy affair Even

BaItimorean on Stage Week Days, in
 Pulpit Sundays.

Raltimore-In the absence of the Rev. William Page Dame, rector of St. Bartholomew's Protestant Episco- pal church, his brother, Wilmer Dame, an actor, is serving as lay reader.
 The appointment, which was quite agreeable to the members of the church, occasioned comment in view of the. occupation of the minister's substitute.
 Actor Dame, who is now playing in the Auditorium the part of George Duyal, father of Armand Duval, in Camille" sees no impropriety in an actor officiating in the pulpit.
 When asked about it he said:
 There is nothing in theatrical work which should make member of that profession less religious than he would be in any other, or to cause him to lose spiritual grace.
 Tt has been the custom, ever since I can remember, for the clergyman of e parish to appoint as lay reader,

The boy of today who complains Of anything should be made to read the rules and regulations laid down for boys in old colonial days. He had to stand up at the table.

A WRESTLING ARROW.
A Musical Toy Which the Ingenious
 Boy Can Make.

It is very simple to construct one. first, procure a section of thin, light bamboo; saw it into several pieces of Farying length, the longest about two pr three inches. Then cut a hole near the end of each one and plug the other end with piece of cork The open end is to be the head. Tie each to the arrows end by a string long enough to allow the bamboo pieces to hang over the top of the bow so they will not interfere with the arrows flight.
 AS the arrow is discharged, says Good Literature, the bamboo pieces tail out behind 1t and the velocity of the arrow causes the air to rush into their open heads and out again through the small holes which gives very nearly the same effect as a whis- tie. The stronger the bow the more whistles will the arrow be able to sus-

Cows Hav. on Years.

While records Of dairy cows for a
full year are valuable. records for a
series Of years are still better. Dairy
COWS have their OF years. and this
must be considered when cows having
poor records are being dropped from
the herd. II this fact Is not borne In
mind there Is danger of selling the
best cows. Attention Is called to a
COW, Sweet Briar, Of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station that produced for ten
years an average Of 35S.O7 pounds OF
butter q year.. while in 1898 she pro-
duced only 206.06 pounds of butter. IN
1899 she made 3O8.53 pounds and in
1907 37O.53 pounds.

been wholly based on the work she did
Ii 1898, she would possibly have been
dropped from the herd. The great value
Of scales and the Babcock test lies In
their continued use In the dairy herd.
It sometimes happens that promising
heifers do very poorly the first year
In such cases the heifer's individuality,
