To representative of the PheniN,
however, they expressed satisfac-
tion with the condition of affairs
at this end of their line. and every
one of the party expressed Il
hearty interest i'm the future of
the city and predicted for MS

portent of which has not been
made public, other than that the

with local conditions and push the
road across the Missouri immed-

reservation. Civil engineers of
the company are now at work ON
the reservation side of the river

Arthur Comeau is at work at

a large variety of work, OCCASION
ed partly by the erection of the

work is the changing of doors of

Will some one please give us a
good reason why Fores, City

school? Are we going to have to
wait till few more of our people
have to look elsewhere for better
school facilities for their children?
or are we going to advance by
having such a school that outside
people will want to send their
children here to school! Why
not make it an issue on election

ACTS OF BRAVERY AND
 INTELLIGENCE BY DOGS

Wallack. alone remained faithful. When
 his master was under the influence or
 liquor Wallack never left his side Ills
 tender solicitude became byword III
 the district. One day as Wallaeks mas
 ter was returning from a debaueh ne
 fell, by some accident or another, into
 shallow pond by the roadside, which.
 shallow as 1t was was yet sufficient to
 submerge a recumbent figure. The drunk
 en mans hounderings only made matters
 worse. In vain, Wallack, with super scanine strength, tugged at his masters collar in an attempt to lift his face above
 the surface of the water Seeing that this was futile, he resorted to the expe- dient of thrusting his own head under that of his master his object being prob ably to make a pillow of his body Fail ing in this he withdrew his head only to see his master again perilously sub merged. Again he thrust his nose under water, and again removed it. until at last. apparently realizing that the only way he could save his masters life was by remaining under water himself, Wal lack deliberately remained under water for several minutes. At the end of that time help arrived, and Wallacks owner who was still in a state of unconscious ness from the effects of the drink, was pulled from the margin of the pond, and after him Wallack himself. All attempts at resuscitation of the dog failed, and he thus died a victim of his faithfulness and, it may be added, his extraordinary sagacity. The whole episode was wit messed at a distance by a gentleman paralyzed in his limbs, who was then seated before his bedroom window. There was no servant within call but the moment one appeared she was sent to effect a rescue

French Incident.


 French work, entitled .L'Historie des Chiens Celebras. gives the follow ing incident as well attested Mustapha. strong and active bloodhound belonging to captain of artillery, raised from his birth in the midst of camps, always &C., compan1ed his master, and exhibited no alarm even in battle. In the hottest en- agreements it remained near the cannon and carried the match in it's mouth At the memorable battle of Fontenoy Mus tapha's master, the captain of artillery, received mortal wound. About to fire on the enemy, he and several of his corps were at that instant struck down to the earth by furious firing, when the dog, seeing his master bleeding on the grounu became desperate and howled piteously. Nor did he merely give way to unavail- ing grief, for a body of French soldiers were now advancing to gain possession of the piece of ordnance, which was aimed at them from the top of a rising ground, when Mustapha, as if he would revenge his masters death, seized the lighted match with his jaws and fired the cannon, loaded with case-shot. Seventy men fell on the spot and the remainder took to flight. After this bold and ex- traordinary stroke the dog crouched down sadly near the dead body of his DtlONtQ IldSitT, leHueIlN llcAtQ HIS wounds, remained with the corpse with out any sustenance for p hours, and was even removed with great difficulty oy some of the comrades of the deceased. This gallant greyhound was taken to London and presented to the King, George IL, who ordered 1t to be takel care of as a grave and faithful public servant
 There was a Newfoundland dog on board H. M. S. Bellona, which kept on deck during the battle of Copenhagen, running backward and forward with such courage and anger that he became a greater favorite with the men than ever. When the ship was paid off, after the peace of Amens the sailors had a part ing dinner on shore Victor was placed in the chair and fed with roast beef and plum pudding, and the bill was made out in Vctor's name To further carry out the joke three sovereigns were placed in front of Victor and the waiter ordered to give change. He did so, the dog wagged his tail benevolently the while. A small pile of copper and silver being deposited by the waiter, he was about to depart, when Victor was told to take up the money in his mouth and carry it to the captain. He did so, but could not be in duced to touch the copper and a silver sixpence, which, amid roars of laughter, he insisted on leaving as the waiter $ tip" as he had been accustomed to sec the captain do on many previous occa- sions.
 In conclusion, 1t will be seen that the most astonishing intelligence is attribut- ed to the dog. How far all anecdotes of canine sagacityl are creditable must be left for others to determine We know how prone many fond masters are to | partiality and exaggeration in speaking | of their four-footed friends, and perhaps nothing short of an official report from 1 society for the investigation of canine anecdotes would serve to overcome the | scruples of the incredulous

ton of the whole table, if it is only for. few coups, but for a player to bet maximums steadily hour after hour is enough to place him in the limelight for the whole Casino and to bring down upon him the most careful scrutiny of tn agents of the management
 By making careful notes of the num- bers that came out and those that he bet upon, the first thing discovered was that he consistently followed numbers that had already appeared. so that his system was exactly contrary to those that be- lieve in betting on numbers which have not shown at all, which they call the maturity of the chances.
 Two theories were advanced to account for his system, one being that he noted some peculiarity or irregularity in the wheel itself which would tend to make certain numbers come oftener than others. But this is practically impossible all though the idea has furnished more than one imaginative story-teller with plot.
 well known English writer has a Monte Carlo story based on the theory that a wheel at one of the tables was badly constructed and had tendency to stop the ball on certain numbers. The gang that had noted his peculiarity went to the same table day after day and bet on those numbers until the management bought the secret for a fabulous sum.
 Now said The Posts informant, ''such story Is simply absurd and shows the ignorance of things behind the scenes at the Casino. Not only is every wheel absolutely perfect, being carefully tested by the most delicate instruments, but the same wheel is never in use twice.
 If you were to If one of the wheels at Monte Carlo off it's spindle you would see that it is made of a number c, inter- changeable pieces or segments, held in place by machine screws. After each days play every wheel in the room is carried to the workshops in the basement and taken apart and every wheel Is re- assembled in a different manner. so that you never see the same wheel two days in succession at Monte Carlo"
 The other theory to account for the Englisnman's success was that he was the impossibility of such a thing is evil dent to any one who knows anything of roulette, unless the wheel itself is crooked. In roulette the croupier is pow erless. In games like baccarat it Is true, collision with the dealer may be the rule rather than the exception, but a roulette wheel cannot be handled like a pack of cards
 The men that roll the ball in the wheels at Monte Carlo are all carefully trained in a room set apart for that purpose in the basement of the building. There they are taught the proper speed at which to spin the wheel and how to throw the ball. It is an invariable rule that the wheel shall never be allowed to come complete ly to rest, and that, having been spun in

From the Detroit News-Tribune.
 If is not strange that Of no animal in the world are so many anecdotes related as of the dog, for not only has the dog fidelity and sagacity passed into a pro- verb but he of all the four-footed crea- tion enjoys the most intimate relatlon- ship with man. Horses we may know and love; for the feline creature we may have a deep-seated fondness; put the horse does no join us in our romps' ne does not enter our houses and lie down with us on our beds; the cat does not foIlow at our heels through forest and meadow, or guard us during our sleeping hours No dumb animal has earned Dy it's valor and integrity such devotion as the dog Stories of dogs have, thereIore' always been popular, especially those eA- hibited qualities which more nesriy ap- proximate those of man.
 There was an Irish terrier called Ter renee in Dover. He became very much attached to two little girls, the younger of whom was about IS months old, Who slept in different though adjoining rooms at the tnp of the house. The elder child slent with the nurse On the same land ing was a sort of lumber room contain ing a cstern. It was Torrence's custom to sleep outside in the passage The fam- ily had long discountenanced his prac- tice, Our the OOS WAS pSlSAStNht. s o'clock one November morning fire broke out in the chamber immediately beneath that occupied by the younger of the little girls. Soon there was crack ing and roaring, which not oply attract ed Terrence's attention and set him bark ing but very quickly aroused the other inmates of the house. The nurse was seized with panic. She grabbed up the elder girl from the bed mad, evidently forgetting all about her other charge, ran to the window which communicated with the roof whence approach to the next house and safety was attained. The mother, an invalid. was told that the nurse had both children safe. In the meantime the flames had actually burned through the flooring and had seized on the drapery of the bed where the appar- ently doomed child lay sleeping. Ter renee, having parked vigorously to no purpose in the dark, now the room was lit up attempted to seize the child and drag her from the bed. He could not manage to lift the weight. Thereupon he rushed to the cistern, jumped in and then hurried back to the child's room. Springing on the bed, he shook over the child the water which had soaked into his coat during his immersion in the cfs- tern. This he repeated several times, at length succeeding in putting out the flames which at one time had a good hold on the bed clothing When the fire men forced their way into the room they found the child practically uninjured, with the dog mounted guard with his wet body over her.
