The Fiddling Hobo.
(By Sow. #. Mallen.) }


He was nothing but hobo, end he
hadn't any means,
When | saw him on the levee in the
town of New Orleans; A.
The niggers was a-dancin' as he came
paradin' by, e
And he stopped to see the jiggin', and
he hove mournful sigh;
Then a big mulatter Niger which
they called him "Frenchy Jim,"
Was a-passin' of the hat around, and
helt It out to him.
He only turned his pockets out, and
hove another sigh,
But said he'd make some music, II
they cared to have him try;
SO they handed him the fiddle, and
ha settled on keg,
And he tuneu the strings so keertul
and he helt 1t on his leg;
Then he riZ 1t to his shoulder, and he
gripped 1t with his Chin,
And he gave little flourish, and he
up and started In.
Well. I've heard a heap Of fiddlers,
and mighty sight of tunes,
with roustabouts and stevedores and
Louisiana coons,
But never did, and never will, and
never hope to hear
The equal of that hobo If live a
hundred year.
He fiddled on the high note, he fid-
died on the low
He fiddled like the devil was a-jerk-
in o that bow. ....
And fore he'd give the fiddle more'n
half a dozen scrapes,
Them niggers was a-dancin' Ike lot
of crazy apes; ..
They scuffied and they shuffied, they
cakewalked and they danced,
They wiggled and they wriggled, they
twisted and they pranced;
Pattin' with the tiptoe, stompin' with
the heel, "..
Done the fling an buck an wing, and
ole "Ferginny reel"
Till | couldn't help a-smilin' In a
naughty sort of scorn,
For / hadn't seen such capers since
the day that | was born.
Then there came sort of .tchin' in
the bottom OF my slice
Well, 1t wasn't but a second, then,
till was dancin', too;
Why, the very bales OF cotton was
a-lookiD' round for mates,
And the lunches OF bananas was a.
dancin' in their crates;
The rats was doin' two-stcps with
) the reaches on the pier,
And 1t looked as IL the jedgment was
a-gettin' mighty near;
And when he stopped the music and
got up to go away,
Them niggers were a-kneelin' and a
prayin' him to stay.
But he shook his whiskers mournful,
an he hove another sigh,
And he handed back the fiddle, and
bade us all goodbye
He was nothin' but hobo, and he
hadn't any means,
But he could have owned the city II
he stayed in New Orleans.

THE SOLDIERS FRIEND.
wonderful Sagacity Shown by Dogs
as Part of an Army.

For dogs to be enlisted IN every
great army OF the world, either in
The ambulance department or as
scouts and dispatch bearers, is surely
something Of novelty, writes w. q.
Fitzgerald, in st. Nicholas.
In the Franco-Prussian war out of
10000 killed and wounded $4,000
were returned as missing" and who
shall say what these men endured?
Every war OF the future, however,
VIII see the dog lessening its hor-
rors. In Germany his education is at
this moment being taken in hand Sby
a voluntary society with nearly two
thousand members, among them
some OF the most able officers Of that
country's great army. The war dog
proper is used for sentry, messenger
ana scouting service, while the am
bulance dogs training inclines thexIdNN
only to scour the battle field in the
search for the wounded and missing.
The needs OF modern warfare not
only fall for vast enlarging of the
battle field, but also compel the troops
TO take every advantage Of natural
cover. This, and the fact that the
wounded men will always use their
last strength to seek protection from
artillery fire, cavalry charges and the
wheels OF guns by crawling into thick
bushes, bitches and natural holes.
will show how difficult it is for the
over-worked stretcher bearers OF the
Red Cross department to notice pros
trate fgures not readily seen. Morzasa
over, modern warfare is largely o.
Quoted by night attack, and at mig r.
too, the wounded have to be collec-
ted. The ambulance dog, however,
is independent Of artificial light and
relies only on his power of scent
Recently, during the great Austrian
manoeuvres, 200 men were left on
the field to represent the wounded.
and the stretcher-bearers, working
against time, overlooked thirty-eight
OF these. Within twenty minutes
the Viennese dogs had found them
all. Each dog had about his neck
a flask OF brandy or sonp and a roll
or bandages. The wounded man,
having made what use he can of this
relief, gives the dog his cap or belt,
and the animal races off with it to
the ambulance attendants, whom he
then conducts to the spot.

BIG STRIKE AT BlEWETT
The Meteor Strikes a Rich Ore Body Which
viii Be Immediately Developed

News was received here last week
that the Washington Meteor Mining
Company had discovered rich ore
body. This report was confirmed by
M. F. Peake who came down from
Blewett few days later.
Mr.. Peake says the ore is of fine
quality and that it will run close to four
hundred dollars ton and from all ap-
pearances it is plentiful. 1t is likely
that a large force of men will be put to
work in the mine at an early date.
Mr.. Peake reports that work on his
placer claim is progressing very rapidly.
He has already completed the required
amount OF assessment work, but will
remain on his claim until snow flies.
Mr.. Peake has taken out something
over two hundred dollars in gold, with
a pan, during the past month, and has
several very valuable nuggets. He will
begin active operations early next
spring in developing what seems to be
a bonanza.

teloupes, canteloupes as big as water
melons, watermelons as big as pump
kins, and pumpkins as big as all out

A GUN THAT WASN'T LOADED
J. ]. Cobb Badly Injuries His Hand With An
Automatic Gun

J. J. Cobbs an electrical engineer on
the new power plant up the canyon
purchased an automatic Colts revolver
recently, which came near being the
cause OF his losing a hand last Sunday.
Mr.. Cobbs and his wife, accom-
panied by a gentleman friend were
taking a walk on the other side Of the
river Sunday afternoon, and after re-
moving all the shells from the mag
azine OF the gun, Mr.. Cobbs was ex-
planning the mechanism to his wife
and friend. He had neglected to re-
move the cartridge from the barrel,
however, and when he pulled the
trigger to show them the rapid action
the ball passed through his left hand
above the knuckles and between the
the bones of the last two fingers.
He was brought in to DR.. Hoxsey
who dressed the wound, and although
Mr.. Cobb is very weak from loss of
blood, he is doing very nicely and it
is thought it will not result seriously
as there were no bones broken.
Mr.. Cobb has only been here for a
short time having been employed at
the power plant for less than a month.
He and his wife are boarding with the
L. w. Bloom family.
