DOG LEGAL TENDER
IN STATE OF ILLINOIS.
Justice So Decides In Case o. .
Woman's Tailor AGAINST O vet-
erlnarian.

Bulldogs are full legal tender In
Streator, ILL.,, as payment for ladies'
tailored gowns since the suit Of Alex
ander H. Whigam, modiste, against
Samuel X. Austin. a dog fancier, was
decided there in favor of the de-
PENDANT.
Mrs. Austin's new creation, fresh
from the shop of Whigam. had been
the focus for feminine eyes there for
fortnight. 1t was not cut directoire
style Streator is not yet prepared
for it; but the tailor and the dog
fancier both were pleased until tho
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 curled tail and wore
fancy collar and its aspect was most
forbidding. Consequently all Streator
believed Mr.. Whigam when he boosted
that It was a valuable dog.
Soon, however. the dog developed a
case Of mango. Whigam ascribed the
affection to the change from New
Yorks sea air. He tried home reme-
dies, but the dog continued to lose
hair.
When at last the dog resembled a
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 bull pup from
his kennels. This, Whigam now
claims, was in settlement of the loss
of the pedigreed pup. But Austin
claims differently. When he had paid
$50 on his wife's 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 FULL.
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.-New

Dog Dives For Fish,

Matthew Breen, restaurant
keeper of Paris, ILL.,, Is the owner of a
dog of unknown pedigree and breed
which dives at his masters command
and rarely fails to bring 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 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 a minute brought
up a German carp Weighing twenty.
eight pounds.
The dog is about the size of full
grown shepherd dog and has short
brown hair.--Danville (Ill) Dispatch

SCarabS.

Two scarabs which are engaging
the attention Of the French Academy
of Inscriptions and Bellies Lettres
should set at rests all doubts as to
whether Africa really was circum-
navigated so long ago as coo B. c.
by an explorer commissioned by the
Egyptian king. For these scaraDs
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 Herodotus 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
iismissing this as 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.

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 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 to have originated from the
fact that on festival Sunday the par
ishioners wear new boots. and the
:dea of the donor was to have the hay
laid down to stop the squeaking Incl
dental to the new footwear. On
Sunday the hay was duly laid down
