overrlpe, current arrivals or peaches are mostly
small and hard, while general offerings OF plums,

fruit, being unable 10 obtain complete asSOrt-

Thornton, who reside on North De Queen street, was fearfully lac erated Sunday afternoon by a dog belonging to Mrs. Thornton's father, H. s. Gray, who lives near Dallas. Mir. and Mrs. Thornton were spending the day with her parents and the little girl ran up to play with the dog which was lying out in the yard. The animal sprang upon the child, knocking her down and before it could be driven off had torn two large gashes in the child's cheek and neck. The little girl was hurried to the city and the wounds cauterized and dressed.
 The dog has never before shown a cross disposition and so fir, has de- veloped no symptoms of hydropho- bia but has been tied up to await developments in order that the child may be sent to a Pasteur institute for treatment, should the dog de- velop the disease.
 Monday the ten year old son of c. P. Johns living in the south part of town was bitten on the an- kle by dog owned by R. R. Gees man. This dog ran out of the yard and attacked the boy as he was passing the Geesman home. It is reported that this dog had been bitten by the Willet dog, but this is1 only rumor and cannot be verified. It is said MT. Geesman has been keeping the animal chained up, but it was running loose and not muz- zled that morning.
 After the accident Mr. Geesman killed the dog. It had shown no symptoms of rabies and aside from the possible danger of this disease the Johns boy is only slightly in- jured.

fawer works of FIctIon.

It is interesting tc notice that fewer new works of fiction were issued last year than in the year before. The modest total of 2,l0S in 1906 fell to 1862 in 1907. Theology, however, went up considerably and one may imagine that literature dealings with the new theology may have taken the place of fiction.
 History and biography leaped from b41 to 7t3 or including new editions from 64f to S73. This, too. must have helped to account for the falling of in novels. for 1t will be remembered that there was an extraordinary mum Der of popular biographies full of scandal and gossip. dear to the lovsi of light fiction.
