DOG SAVES MATE IN WELL.
Carries Food fer Nearly a Month to
Imprisoned Canine.

Seattle, Wash.-Thomas Jones, who
owns a big ranch on San Juan island,
lost a collie dog nearly a month ago
and for several days searched the
woods about his place zealously for
the animal without success. Last week
he killed sheep and tossed a bone to
another collie. Instead of gnawing
it, the dog picked it up and started for
the woods. He kept turning his head, az
parently to see if he. was followed
and Jones concluded to follow him.
The dog trotted along for a mile and
stopped at the edge of an abandoned
we'll. He dropped the bone over the
edge of the well. Jones got a ladder,
climbed down, and found his dog that
had been lost. There was only about
two inches of water in the well, but
the animal would have starved to
death had it not been for the ether.
The lost dos was in good condition
and as it had been missing "a days the
other animal must have keep it sup
piled with food for nearly a month.

at once seized the animals horns, one
with each chubby hand, and clung for
dear life, while the COW dashed madly
down the road to the home of neigh
Dor, from whom she had been pur-
chased. Here the barn door was open
and through it she ran, striking her
head against an upright beam with
such terrific force that she was in
stantly killed, dropping dead in her
tracks.
Fortunately for the little passenger,
the sudden stoppage released his hold
upon the horns and he was thrown for
ward, to land unhurt upon the partial
ly-1lled haymow.
Some idea of the force of the i'm
pact of the cows head against the post
may be gathered from the fact that
upon examination her backbone was
found so completely displaced as to
lengthen the tail nearly seven inches

a bad-tempered beast, had never made
any hostile demonstration against
Hall, and when he entered the pen he
led his two friends fearlessly to where
the animal was standing.

friends to escape, which he did, while

OF the directoire belts that are thought
so smart just now. If she is clever at
making things it is possible to save
by buying materials.
These belts come in all the soft pas
tel shades, in black, white and dark
colors, or can be made to match any
suit. They are three or four inches
wide and long enough to tie at the left
side and hang almost to the knees.
Sometimes they are of satin, tucked
IN the middle and edged with bah
fringe; again they are of satin ribbon
and round cord, woven or plated in
five strands, pointed at the ends and
finished with a silk tassel.
When worn with an ordinary suit
these belts are knotted around the
waist line; with high empire skirts
they are adjusted to the line at the
top and fastened with a fiat slide with
a hook underneath that goes into q
catch at the side of the skirt.

Mules Battle Thieves.

York, PA dinner bell, rung lus-
tily by Mrs. c. H. Mitzel, acted as a
very efficient burglar alarm when
thieves attempted to steal pair Of
valuable mules from the barn on her
husbands farm at Arbor, this county.
A mistake the thieves made was
their failure to gag the long cared
animals. Mrs MitzeI was alone with
her children when she heard the mules
braying loudly, and suspected at once
that something was wrong.
Grabbing the rope attached to the
dinner bell ON the peak of the roof,
she pulled 1t until her husband and
neighbors came running in.
They found the mules standing In
the road where they had been desert
ed by the thieves, who were fright
ened or by the alarm.

could realize what had happened an
other had encircled his thigh.
The diver began to chop frantically
at the rubberlike bonds and at the
same time signaled to the barge above
that he wished to ascend. Unable to
free himself in time, two more ten
tacles squirmed out of the darkness
and one twined about his neck. The
efforts of. the men on the surface to
comply with his signal threatened to
pull his helmet off and he was forced
to signal them to desist.
With only his left arm free, Lund
hacked at the tentacles until they
were partly crippled, but he was be-
ing drawn toward the deadly beak
when he saw the outline of the devil
fish's body. Plunging suddenly toward

THE GERMAN THEATRE.
shakespeare's Twelfth Night" in German.

Carrying out his liberal programme Of presenting
classical plays by the great German, Spanish Eng
Iisb and French dramattsts, DR.. Bauufeld produced
last night al the German Theatre Shakespeares
Twelfth Night under its subsidiary title, What
You WIZ C'Was Ihr Wollt). The present season
1t the German Theatre opened with Calderon's Ell
AlcaIde de Zalarnea," one Of the best known
dramas Of that very prolific Spanish poet. The
venture Of the sort, was "Goetz Won Berlichin-
gen" Goethe's romantic prose drama, almost
known TO the stage in this country and seldom seen
even IN Germany. Shakespeare's turn came last
evening when one OF the most enjoyable Of his
comedies was given in the German tongue and with
g C5ermanized setting
II was not Dr. Baumfeld's purpose, he
eensitly explained the other day, to show the
pubIic how Twelfth Night should be played; for
no foreign version OF the comedy could expect To
rival the performances Of Il given in the far richer
original by the most capable of English and Arneri-
can companies. The purpose of the German revival
is merely 70 give Gerrnanspeaking theatregoers
satisfactory idea Of the poetry and hunor OF Shake
spearian comedy. This object Is achieved by the
Irving Place company, which gave competent
though by 10 means q brilliant performance. DR..
Faunfeld uses only two stage settings and thereby
greatly condenses the action. Sir Toby Belch and
ef- Andrew Aguecheek carouse the greensward
under a tree in Oivia's garden and indulge in
much horseplay not seen in English performances
