Sided With Father.

''There is a little chap in our town."
said the suburbanite, whose father
and mother have words quite frequent
ly, and have them loud enough to be
heard by the neighbors. The burden
of their recriminations when audible
is, on the wife's part, that she ever
lowered the Hicks family sufficiently
to marry a Stubs. and on his part
that he ever honored the Hicks fam
lily by allying 1t with the house Of
Stubs.
Zone day last summer the young son
Of the house went fishing. He had
barely got his line into the brook when
he heard his mother calling him.

Dous of Luxury.

The appearance Ct little dogs as OBJ
jects Of luxury goes back to the most
ancient times. Documents are not
wanting that go to show that Greek
and Roman women had little dogs
which were idolized by their mistress
es. Even men, particularly among for
eigners, were not ashamed to walk the
streets of Rome with pet dogs under
their arms. Speaking Of this subject
Plutarch relates that julius Caesar,
seeing one day In Rome some strangers
thus loaded with their dogs, asked
them ironically whether the women Of
their country did not bear children.
Tertia, the daughter Of Lucius Aure-
Illus Paulus. was so fond Of her dog
that in the moment of bidding farewell
to her father. who was about to leave
his country and his family to wage
war against Perseus, king Of Macedo-
MIA, she frankly admitted that the sad
ness imprinted On her face was due to
the death of her pet dog Persa. In
Europe the greyhounds were the first
favorites of women during the middle
ages.-Boston Post

Police OF Culdesac After Jack Knies.
Culdesac, Idaho, July 29.-After
being In town less than four hours
Saturday afternoon, Jack Knies was
found locked in room with 17-year-
old Nora MoWillis and after the young
girl had acknowledged her intimacy
with the stranger he was arrested, but
he gained his liberty last night by
overpowering Acting Marshal Jack
Reese, who had just given the pris-
oner his supper. Knies was a total
stranger and had been in town only a
few minutes when he is alleged to
have started a filtration with the girl
which led to his visit to the home of
Fred Warren, where she is employed
as housemaid. Marshal ]. w. Hing
ley called at Warren's home late in
the evening, but he found the doors
locked and the light out, as Warren's
family was away. After almost an
hours effort he effected an entrance
and found Knies in the room Of the
young girl.
Miss McWillis confessed that Knies
had wronged her and agreed to ap-
pear against Knies. He was locked
in the city prison awaiting prelimi-
nary examination, which was set-for
this morning. Last night Knies as
saulted Reese and left him uncon-
scious on the Jail floor, while he fled,
protected by the gathering darkness.
Knies is about 25 years old, we'll

man of education.

1hs Romance Of nurIsd PIeturss.

A romantic story Of a picture pur-
chased at a London auction which on
expert examination proved to be paint
ed over a Rembrandt worth $4,000 is
curlously reminiscent Of the discovery
Of Correggio under similar circum-
stances. A good many years ago two
picture restOrers, Lovera and Hunter
spergh. bought at an art sale In Rome
number Of old pictures In order to
provide themselves with canvases for
repaintlng. In the division Of the
spolls Hunterspergh received an indif-
ferent picture of flowers. on which he
painted study of head. This pic
ture he offered to Lovera, who on close
examination found that the new
ground scaled Off and that underneath
were traces Of figure painted In
style that denoted the hand Of mas
ter. Replacing the scales and conceal
Ing his discovery, he purchased the
picture for little more than the value
of the canvas. Removing the two
grounds, he disclosed an exceedingly
clever painting by COrregglo. which he
sold to the Earl Of Bristol for f1.500.-
