TROUT ALMOST KILLS A DOG

Wallace Short of New York state
has dog. Its name is Skip. 1t was
long-haired, but it isn't any more.
The other morning 1t went fishing.
Short said no, but the dog said yes,
and then it took a flying leap and
with a bobwow of delight landed in
the center of one of the pools of
Frank Drumboller's trout hatchery on
the tranquility turnpike. The
dog was a bit hungry, and when it
jumped 1t had its gaze fixed on a
large trout that had been basking in
the sdn, with one eye on Skip and
the other on a bread crumb near by.
The dog had a long, shaggy coat
when it entered the pool 1t had
seen but one, and had no means of
knowing or even suspecting there
were 5000 other trout in the same
pool all full grown and hungry, for
1t was feeding time. Scarcely had
Skip struck the water when it began
to bark for nelp. Short and Drum
boiler ran to the edge of the pool,
and what they saw made their eyes
pop
The thousands of trout had mass
ed themselves about the dog, and
swimming around and around had en-
quilted him in a perfect piscatorial
whirlpool Occasionally one of the
large fish would make a side leap
and take a bite at the dog. Skip
was in a bad way when the men ar
rived. The silent mass Of fish grad
ually would have forced him under
the water. He had gone in long
haired, but came out like a hairless
Mexican dog. The secret was that
Skip suffered from a skin affection,
and his master had rubbed him with
olive oil, appetizing to the fish. So
they almost skinned him.

reptile family which does not appear

is the opinion of men who claim to
be authority on snakes and their
habits.
The discovery was made by Duane
Kerr, a farmer, while at work on a
piece Of wild land. He unearthed a
nest of snakes and by the use Of dy-
Mantle killed five of them. The
largest measured seven feet FIVE
inches. The snakes are of black
ish color and distinctly mottled.
Kerr was terrified when he heard
a loud kissing and looked up to see
the head Of huge snake projecting
from a nearby stump. He then got
the dynamite, inserted it in the root
and the explosion which followed re-
vealed Eve snakes, which, when
placed head to tail on the ground,
measured more than 85 feet.

Company F, Fifty-second Pennsyl-
vania in National Tribune
An expedition started from Battery
Chatfield, on the lower part Of Morris
island, composed of 67 eightoared
boats, called surfboats, for the capture
Of the fort. We had to row against the
tide, and we're not able to land until
daybreak. AS soon as the rebels dis
covered what we were doing they
opened up on us, and they made an
awful racket. The expedition was COM
posed of all of the men At for duty OF
the Fifty-second Pennsylvania, the
One Hundred and Twenty-sixth New
Jersey and a few from the Third
Rhode Island heavy artillery. Seven
boats went back and left US. We
first took Brooks battery, which was
near to the shore on James island,
and then went for Fort Johnson,
which was an earth fort. We had TO
go through a marsh between the forts
of about an eighth mile.
The commander Of the expedition
was Col Henry NJ. Hoyt Of our regi-
ment We fought quite awhile, with
tn rebels on one side Of the parapet
and we on the other. We finally got
on top of the parapet, but the colonel
saw there was not enough Of us to take
the fort, and he raised his handker-
chief upon his sword and we surren-
dered did not know until then that
the rest of the expedition had gone
back and left us. for l did not look
back after we landed until then.
We were taken into Charleston, and
found few rebel soldiers there. We
were sure that II we had all landed
we could have taken Charleston on
July 4, 1864, as easy as not. We were
taken to Andersonville in a few days,
and were there three or four months.

PECULIAR MISHAP TO HAWK

More than 30 years ago a farmer
living in Shasta county, California,
set out number of small steel traps
to catch the gophers that were play.
ing havoc with the crops.
One day while looking after these
traps the rancher CHANGED to see a
very big yellow hawk swoop down
on one of the traps.
The bird was caught sure enough,
and while it was struggling to free it,
self from the trap, the slender wire
chain was torn from the fastening
and away the hawk flew, carrying
with 1t the trap and chain-both dan.
Cling to the left foot.
Recently a farmer living in Sac
ramento county-more than 300 miles
from the rancher, shot and killed a
very large yellow hawk Securely at
tached to this hawks left leg was a
Nc. steel trap and more than a
yard Of small chain. Beyond all
doubt this was the very bird that had
carried off the other rancher's trap
over three years before and had flown
with 1t several hundred miles.

scarcely captured his first client be-
fore practically all of the very nice
girls in town were interested in him
The speed with which he became a

to the expectations of others, so un.
failing in his efforts to establish a
frank understanding with everybody
that he won recognition Immediately
as an A No. l fellow among the men
and-the women.
Ignoring his plainness of face and
awkwardness of figure and movement,
the Eureka young women of all
ages had become greatly interested
in the sayings and, even more espe.
cially, in the doings of H. darlington

cluded Molly Abernathy, who for
some reason unrevealed to her was
led by this interest to doubt the CO.
operation of heaven in her choice of
Dick as a life companion.
By most amazing coincidence
there was also a "but" in the case of
Dick Hathaway. A certain young
woman named Helen Ware had come
to town to visit her uncle, the rector
of st. Jarlath's. Before she had been
at the rectory fortnight all the
young men in the parish, and host
Of those who were outside of it, woke
up to the fact that she was an un-
usually attractive young person, and
Dick was one of the young men of
the parish. He did not precisely un-
derstand how it was. but whenever he
stood in the presence of Helen Ware
he found himself wishing well-he
found himself wishing.
Both Dick and Molly were mem
bers of the mixed choir at st. Jar
lath's. Dick sang tenor when he did
not forget and relapse into baritone
and Molly was possessed of an ex-
cellent contralto voice, but she was

nothing that offers so speedy and so

WILD DEER KICKS A MAN

Carl Muller, a member of a party
Of politicians returning to San Mateo,
Cal, from Halfmoon Bay, tried 10
capture a deer single handed near
Aqua lake. The deer kicked Muller
on the chin, rendering him uncon-
scious, and made its escape.
Five deer we're in the road when

trict Attorney J. ]. Bullock was a
member, approached. No one In the
party was armed, but Muller con-
ceived the idea of capturing one OF
the animals alive.
He jumped from the automobile
and sneaked up to the herd. As he
got within striking distance of
young buck the animal let fly its
heels and caught Mr.. Muller squarely
on the chin. That ended the chase.
It was FIVE minutes before the deer
chaser could be resuscitated and the
trip resumed.

WHEN THE ALARM WENT OFF

An odd thing happened in Paris the
other week. where a woman named
Charlotte Berdulli was arrested out
side a shop on the Place de la Bas-
tile, and charged by one Of the shops
private detectives with stealing some
cheap jewellery. She denied the theft
Indignantly, and refused even more
Indignantly to allow herself to be
searched. 'T am the wife of a magis-
trate," she declared, "and will have
you punished for the indignity to
which I am being subjected" Unfor-
tunately for her, an alarm clock which
she had stolen went off at this mo-
ment. Mrs. Burduli was searched,
and three alarm clocks, small size.
two watches, and eight brooches Of
small value were found in a specially
made pocket inside her skirt.
