MAD DOG HAD
STREET ALONE
CANINE WHICH SHOWED EVERY
INDICATION OF SUFFERING
FROM MALADY WAS GIVEN WIDE
BERTH BY MANY PEOPLE.

F'rothing at the mouth and In a very
bad condition, a large dog made its
appearance on TarTagona street yes
terday at 2 p. m, and for awhile the
animal had the street all TO itself.
The dog had snapped at the feet of
mules standing at the office of the
Armour Packing company and one OF
the mules appeared to take in the stu
alton, for it kept giving the dog plenty
of room, going to the length Of its
'ariat. The dog seemed DESTROYS of
following very closely, and when inter
ference was offered, its teeth cleaned
wickedly, although no attack was at
tempted on anyone. A cry of mad
dog was sounded, and the streets
cleared for blocks. The dog finally
found a resting place under an unoc-
cupied house, where its presence was
made known to a policeman later in
the afternoon. A gentleman who says
that he has in his lifetime seen dozens
of dogs suffering with the rabies stat
ed that this animal presented every
appearance of suffering from such dis
ease, with the possible exception OF
running wildly along the roadway.

1.-The Empty StoCking'
By Bonnie Burnham.

But it isn't the Empty Stocking to-
day, though, is it?
Indeed, it's not!
There probably wasn't a single
Empty Stocking in Pensacola this
morning, thanks to the fine sort of
aid that the Elk ladies, the Salvation
Army and the Mission gave Santa
Claus on his rounds last night.
Let me tell you what the ladies did.
They had Three Hundred fine look
ing Christmas baskets awaiting when
Santa put in his appearance this year
three hundred fine tempting looking
baskets, mind you, with toys and can
dies and fruits and books and SO on!
Wasn't that just the Finest kind OF
record? 1t certainly was, when you
think about it!
And the ladies want to extend their
heartfelt appreciation of all that has
been done in the way of donations,
ETC., to further this work.
Yesterday Cad Jones sent a dollar
to the Elk ladies. Someone else sent
another dollar, and two good boys left
% cents each.
Mrs. Louise Pfeiffer sent a splendid
box of toys, too, and there were full
stockings awaiting the children of the
poor in the early grey of this morning
as a RESULT
Last night, you remember, it was
rainy.

HIGH SPIRITS
SEAMEN ABOARD TWO ITALIAN
STEAMSHIPS HAVE NOISY BUT
HARMLESS CELEBRATION ON
BOARD THEIR SHIPS AND
ACROSS WATER.

Italian sailors aboard the steam
ships Giovanrosa and MonviSO, both
of which vessels fly the green, white
and red flag of Italy, ushered the Christ
mas time with a celebration all of
their very own and of the most orig
inal character possible. Aboard each
of the ships were gathered the re-
spective crews. One steamer was
mOored at PalafOX wharf, and the
other at Commandment wharf At
the latter wharf also were several
Italian sailing vessels. But the fea-
ture of the celebration was the con-
versation across the water to one an
other, the welI-wishing in their native
tongues, the snatches Of Italian songs
and the answer in the same language,
all beyond any chance of interpreta-
ton by the listening land-lubberS. A
joke would be passed, laugh, hearty
and long and loud, would follow, and
far out in the stream at times could
be heard shouted a message in Italian,
which was Immediately answered
from the docks by some strong-voiced
sailor. The noise along the water
front was nothing compared to that
which ragged uptown. In fact, a still
ness prevailed, and messages were in
telIigible to the Italians at long dis
tances. The greetings and noisy ceIe-
bration lasted for hours.

CARE.

SeVenty-seven pounds of fresh pork,
three turkeys of twenty pounds each,
cranberries, celery, roastS, vegetables
of all styles, teas, coffees, etc, will be
served at the Christmas dinner at the
county jail today, the sheriff having
so provided this feast in order to give
those whom the law has placed in his

at least, and to let a little light into
their lives at this time. There are
fifty-eight in the county jail today, and
they will be given just as much Of the
good things as they can hold with
comfort or discomfort, for that matter
Sheriff Van Pelt has never let an
occasion of anything like a holiday go
by without providing some Temem-
placed in his care. This seasons pro-
vision for their enjoyment, however, is
on a more particular and more plen-
tiful scale than in the past. Prosper

have placed some people where they
cannot get out and earn money to
have any of the enjoyment noticeable
