Max, a black-and-tan dog owned by
Charles G. FitZhugh, Flint pharma-
cfst, has come through with dollar
to pay his annual license and thus in
sure safety from the city dog catcher
for another year And Max earned
all this money himself. In the rear
of the store where his owner works
Max, who is a trick dog, has a box
half filled with excelsior in which he
hides pennies and nicllels earned by
doing tricks. When a customer comes
into the store the dog starts his roper
tory of stunts, plays dead, walks lame,
says his prayers, talks" to the best
of his ability, walks erect on his front
legs and then on his hind legs, sits up
and does num- rous other tricks for
the entertainment of visitors. The
majority of the patrons of the store
know the dog and always when he
has finished his act he is given a pen
ny or a scent piece, which he hides
in his box. When the animals owner
decided that the license should be
paid he sent the dog back to the box
time after time until the canine had
brought to him a dollar in pennies
and nickels, and, placing the cash in
an envelope, the owner started for the
office of the cKy clerk, the dog carry.
ing the envelope in his mouth. When
ever the dog wants a piece of candy
from the showcase he gets the money
from his box, tramps up to where his
master is and exchanges it for choco-
lates.

onr Railroads.

Now here! We might as well speak
plainly about this matter. Some pee
pie OF late seem 10 have acquired the
incendiary opinion that our railroads
exist for the purpose of serving the
public. Accordingly the Legislators
seek to regulate passenger rates Ac-
cordingly, also, when the railroads at
tempt TO raise freight rates they are
met with violent objections on the
part of the shippers. Accordingly,
also further, when the railroads pro-
pose to lower wages they are met
with stern refusals from selfish en-
ployes. Now all this antagonism
comes, as indicated above. from an
erroneous conception as to the proper
function of railroad.
The proper function Of railroad is
TO pay dividends, not to speak Of sal
aries and interest on bonds. Can ii
be claimed for moment that the
sacred right of eminent domain, so
extensively employed in providing
valuable rights of way, would have
been exercised for purpose any less
noble than dividends? Some people
seem to have lost all sense of proper
ton amid our modern strenuosities.
Let it be understood, once and for ali,
that if we cannot run our railroads so
that some one can make money on
them, we shall simply have to get
along without them altogether.-Ellis
o. Jones in Success Magazine.

Unable to KneeI.

One fancies that few types of men
can, from time to time, have afforded
royalty more amusement of a quiet
sort than provincial mayors of Eng
land. From the Foreland to Pen
zance," by Give Holland, contains the
story of a mayor of Weymouth who,
during one of the visits of King
George to the town, was destined to
afford comic relief to ceremony of
some Importance.
The occasion was the presentation
of an address of welcome to the king,
and we are told that the mayor, on
approaching to present 1t, to the as
constituent and dismay of all, instead
of kneeling as he had been told to
do, seized the queens hand to shake
it as he might that of any other lady
Colonel Gwynne, the master of the
ceremonies, hurriedly told him of the
faux pas, saying, you should have
kneeled, sir"
"Sir, | cannot" was the reply.
Everybody does, sir" holly assert
ed the colonel.
The mayor grew red and evidently
much upset, exclaimed, "Confound it,
sir, but I've got wooden legl"
History records that "a smile suf-
fused the face of her majesty, and the
King laughed outright"

Fortunately twenty feet is eoncentrat-
ed in the lock which was wrecked
Wednesday when the steamer Perry G.
Walker of the Gilchrist feet rammed
her bow through the lower gate.
\ The upper gates were open when
the Walker crushed open the lower
gates and the tremendous power OF
the rapids was given instant play. The
steamer Assiniboia, a big Canadian Pa
clfic passenger liner, moored within
the lock chamber, was torn away from
her mornings Riding on the crest of
the flood, she jammed the Walker
from her path, the Assiniboia's port an
Choir ripping a hole in the Walkers
side. The liners engine crew put on
full steam ahead in a desperate en-
deavor to give the big vessel Storage
way, and, with her wheelsmen battling
to overcome the swirling currents, the
Assiniboia swept into the open reaches
OF the river below The Assiniboia's
cargo shifted, and this gave her con-
siderable list, and several plates on
her port side forward of amidships
were loosened. The Walker was whirl-
ed around several times, and finally
landed on a shoal out of the channel.
1t is said she is unchanged below the
water line
The ore-laden steamer Crescent City
of the Pittsburg Steamship Company,
which was just entering the locks from
Lake Superior when the accident oc-
CURED, was swept downstream like
feather. She overlook the Assiniboia
and struck the latter two glancing
blows after having a great hole torn in
her side as she swept past the broken
lower gate. Tugs caught her and
tGwed her to the American side, where
she settled to the bottom Both the
upper gates of the lock and one lower
gate were wrenched from their moor
ings. The other lower gate still hangs
to its fastenings, twisted and broken.
The loss to the Canadian govern
ment will probably reach S250000 and
the damage to the Crescent City is es-
timated at 100000 The damage to
the steamers Walker and Assiniboia
was comparatively light. Captain Mo
sher of the steamer Walker declares
that the accident was caused by his
engineer making a mistake and throw
ing his lever to full speed ahead" on

Modern Surgery.

At the st. Louis City Hospital there
were performed two surgical operations
of such a delicate and unusual nature
that leading surgeons of the city went
there to see them. One was the inser-
ton of a rubber tube into the stomach
of Mrs. Anna Davis, of Mount Olive,
Ill. She swallowed concentrated I've by
mistake recently. and this will prevent
her swallowing food. Hereafter her life
will be sustained by food forced into her
stomach through the tube. The other
operation was the removal of a small
splinter of steel from the arterial system
of George Watkins, 60 years old. The
splinter was carried along by the blood
and was wearing out the walls o. his
arteries. The splinter was located by
means of the X-ray and then the artery
at that point was bound above and below
and the tiny bit of metal was removed.
Both patients will recover.

OCEAN LINER is WRECKED.

Passengers Safely Taken Off.

Slavonia Goes Ashore in Azores-41o
Passengers Safely Taken Off.
The transatlantic steamer Slavonia
of the Cunard line, bearing ITO saloon
passengers and 800 steerage passeng.
ers, was stranded Friday off Flores
island in the Azores group. The YES
sci is practically a wreck and it is
thought that relocating will be impos-
New York to Naples and Genoa.
None of the passengers was lost in
the wreck, however, owing to the
quick work of rescue which was done
by the liner Princess Irene of the
North German Lloyd line and the
Hamburg-American liner Batavia
These two vessels, summoned by
wireless from the Slavonia, stood by
and took off all Of the passengers, the
saloon guests being taken aboard the
Princess Irene and the steerage pas
sengers being taken off by the Ba.
tavia. The list of cabin passengers as
given out by the Cunard line contains
but few addresses, but the first class
passengers are practically all Ameri.
cans.
The weather conditions were not
mentioned in the dispatches. but it is
sun missed that the sea was calm and
that the stranding of the Slavonia was
due to foggy weather. Flores island
is the most westerly of the Azores
group with dangerous and precipitous
cliffs. The island is about 80 miles
long and nine miles wide. 1t is thick
ly populated and has hilly surface
of which the highest point is an ex-
tinct crater. The inhabitants raise
cattle and poultry and wheat for the
Spanish markets.
The Slavonia was sister ship of
the Ultonia, Pannonia and Carpathia
and one of the best liners in the
Mediterranean trade. 1t was a steel
twin screw of 10000 tons gross and
$40 feet long. 1t was valued at about
S750,O0O.

Whites Win in Georgia Strike.

The terms on which the strike of
the white firemen on the Georgia Rail-
road was settled were in substance
that the men return to work under
conditions existing at the time the
strike began, the discharged firemen
to be reinstated and all negro firemen
to be dispensed with. The question as
tc whether negro firemen were to be
eliminated altogether was left for
later decision of the officials concern
ed. The railroad conceded the main
point at issue, namely, the recognition
of the seniority OF the whites over the
negroes. The outcome was due in part
to the Intervention of the Federal Of
ficials and partly to the fact apparent
to all, that large percentage of the
public was with the strikers. An ar
filtration commission is to determine
the remaining points at issue.

When prominent men realize the In

a somewhat peculiar flavor Of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with IT,, that after

whole family were SO well pleased
with Il, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condi-
ton, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt 50
much better than she did prior 10 its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not 50 frequent. and
her general condition much improved.
