Miss Beulah Bouknight De-
ClareS She Must Have
Pet or Money.

Il want my dog. and if the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company Doesn't
get him for me, it will have to pay for
him; that's all there is about it." de-
clared Miss Beulah Bouknight, OF I21
Maryland avenue northeast
Its true that I've brought suit
against the railroad demanding 81, 00g.
and it's not a cent less than my dear
little Max is worth" she continued.
Why do you know there never was
such a dog like him in the world. and
as for tricks. he can sing in three diff
ferent keys. Yes, I mean it. He can
really sing. II isn't a bark, but real
musical sound, and then he can do a
cake walk all around the room on his
hind feet, and you know that's pretty
hard thing to do. Can you blame me
wanting a thousand dollars for him?''
What Miss Bouknight said about the
railroad company officials was a eau
ton. She roasted them TO a whisper.
THE very idea If telling me that my
dear little Max would have to ride in
the baggage coach ahead, tied 10 an old
trunk. They could have let me take
him in my arms. I'm sure he's just as
clean as some Of the people that ride
on their old railroad"

Miss Bouknight declares that the dog
was stolen She says the baggageman
told her that Max had slipped his col

But it's no such thing. They can't
fool me. Max was stolen. for when ]

Who Paid for the Booze ?

Somebody who is fa- enough
away to be safe, has started a Mary
Ann problem thus: In the United
States the Mexican dollar has an
exchange value of 90 cents.
In Mexico the American dollar
has the same value. On the from
tier OF the United States where
Texas joins Mexico there are two
saloons, one on each side of the
frontier. A man buys a Io.cent
drink Of whiskey at the American
saloon and pays for it with an
American dollar, receiving a Mexi-
can dollar as change. With this
he crosses the border, goes into the
Mexican saloon, hands over the
Mexican dollar for ro-cent drink
and receives an American dollar as
change. 1t is evident that the lim-
it of his purchase power is the
length of time he can stand. He
finally wakes up with a bad head
ache and the American dollar with
which he started. Who paid for
the whiskey?

Lots of Rabbits.
Where Dogs Are Restrained Young Bunnies
Are Plentiful.

A Montour county farmer states
that if conditions in his section are
a criterion then rabbits will be un-
usually plentiful in Montour county
this fall. The young rabbits may
be seen at almost any time and
place, bobbing up when least ex-
pected. Previous years for as long
time back as he can remember there
was nothing like as many rabbits
seen as at present.
He attributes the abundance of
rabbits as we'll as their fearlessness
to the quarantine against dogs. He
says few people are aware of the
depredations which, except in times
of quarantine, are committed by
dogs within a radius of several
miles of Danville.
Last year at this time when dogs
unmuzzled were permitted to roam
about at will, they might have been
seen daily tracking game. During
the summer the young rabbits in
this way were killed off in large
numbers and when the season open
ed there were comparatively few
cotton tails to be obtained by the
sportsmen.
1t is said to be difficult to realize
the relief that the farmers expert
ence by reason of the quarantine on
dogs, which animals heretofore
went prowling over the country,
causing annoyance in different
ways. The prevalence of rabies
has been general during the past
summer, so that the quarantine
against dogs has been just as effec-
tual in. other localities. Therefore,
since one of the effects of the quar-
antine in general way is to pro-
tect the rabbits the latter, over the
entire extent of the country, should
prove very plentiful next fall.
