What Would He Do With III

A farmer owned a dog-a very good,
high bred and thoroughly trained dog
that every morning for three years
chased a railway train that ran past
the farm. The farmer and his wife
were watching the persistent but vain
pursuit one warm morning.
II wonder the wife said, what
makes that foolish dog chase the train
so persistently."
Never thought about that" replied
the farmer, ''but I've often wondered
what he would do If he caught it"

The bitterness of his own isolation,
the ostracism that circumstance had
forced upon him, would have been
maddening on this night had not all
rancor been tempered by the glorious
achievement In the market place. He
wondered If the princess knew what
he had dared and what he had accom-
plished in the early hours Of the night
He wondered If they had pointed out
his solitary light to her-if now and
then she bestowed a casual glance
upon that twinkling star of his. The
porch lantern hung almost directly
above his head.
The chateau was indeed the home
Of revelry. The pent up, struggling
spirits of those who had dwelt therein
for months in solitude arose in the
wild stampede for freedom. All petty
differences between Lady Deppingham
and Drusilla Browne, and they were
quits common now, were forgotten in
the whirlwind of relief that came with
the strangers from the yacht. Mrs.
Brownies good looking, eager husband
reveled in the prospect of this de-
lirious night, this almost Arabian

the radiant princess, the Scheherezade

SEVERAL CITY FUNDS SHORT
Only Enough in Two Funds to Pay
Salaries Of Chiefs.
STREETS AND ALLEYS FUNDS SHY
E~lectrician's Department In worst
Condition, and only -Four
Months of the Year
HES ELAPSED.

Al the close OF the first four months OF
the fiscal year several Of the municipal de-
.partments are decidedly short OF funds to
carry them over the remaining eight
months. according to the report Of the gen-
eral fund for the month Of July issued by
City Auditor McAneney yesterday.
For the maintenance Of the streets ana
alleys department for the entire fiscal year
q sum Of SO, coo was appropriated. In the
first four months OF the fiscal year &,6tO.lS
has been expended. leaving but N,S5l.Si TO
carry on the operations Of this department
for the remaining eight months befors an
other appropriation can be made. The
balance In this fund is barely sufficient to
meet the salary OF the street commissioner,
not 10 mention what It will cost to clean
the paved streets in the business section
Of the city. 1t looks as IL Street COmmis-
sioner Flood will have to arm himself with
= shovel and clean the streets himself.
The fund for the maintenance of the city
electricians department is another that IL
badly depleted, according to Mr.. McAnen-
ey's report. The city council decided In
framing the appropriation ordinance for
the fiscal year that 5000 was ample to
maintain this department. Up to date
81, O9 SO has been expended out Of this APP
preparation, leaving but SsOOn TO maintain
II for the remaining eight months Of the
fiscal year. The salary Of the city cleo
trician lie S116 a month and to meet this
for the remaining months Of the fiscal year
will require 1920, or s19. 50 more than is left
over OF the appropriation. Where the
money is to come from to pay the salary
OF the city electricians assistant and the
cost of the material needed In his Depart
ment is but one OF the several problems
confronting the city authorities.
Auditor McAneney's report shows that In
the first four months OF the fiscal year the
contingent fund appropriation has been
overdrawn to the extent Of 1857 81, although
the Iowa statutes explicitly provide that
no appropriation for any municipal depart
ment shall be overdrawn, or in other words
tina no warrants shall be issued upon any
fund in excess OF the amount Of the APP
preparation for the current fiscal year.
The following shows the appropriation
for the different funds for the curren
fiscal year and the balances on hand u

DONATE SKIN TO INJURED MAN
Eight Men Contribute to Aid Officer
HOrner.


Three members OF the police depart
ment, three members OF the fire depart
ment and a brother OF the wounded officer
yesterday sacrificed a portion Of their
cuticle, that same might be grated on
the back Of C. A. Horner, the patrollman
who was shot and seriously wounded on
the night of May 10 by the negro known
as "Alkall Mike"
In the efforts to locate the bullet, Hor-
ner's back was badly burned by the use
Of the X-ray. This burn refused to heal
and the infected part Continued to grow
larger. In order TO save the officers life
II was decided necessary to graft ten
square inches of skin upon the affected
part of the back.
The first experiment was made with skin
from Horner's own body and was entirely
successful. The area to be covered was
30 large that II was considered impractic-
able to take more skin from the patients
own body, and a call was made upon the
wounded mans brother officers to sacri.
flee some of their cuticle. There was nc
hesitation among the members Of the po.
lice force or the fire department, and
those who submitted TO the ordeal yester.
day OF giving up part of their skin were
Patrolmen e. C. Lane, w. A. Shor and

The skin was taken from the arms Of

formed at the E~dmundson Memorial hos

surgeons are hopeful that the grating will
prove entirely successful and that Officer
Horner will soon be on the road to com
