Men DO the Same Thlna.

Here's twentieth century epic
which will appeal to the heart of man:
A dog sat in the midnight chill and
howled at the beaming moon; his
knowledge of music was strictly nil
and his voice was out of tune. And
he howled and howled as the hours
went by, while lodging the bricks we
threw, till the moon was low In the
western sky, and his voice was split
in two. And there wasn't a thing at
which to howl over which pup
should weep, and the course Of that
dog was wrong and foul, for people
were wild to sleep. There are plenty
of men like that blamed fool bound
who yell when there's nothing wrong
disturbing the country with sense.

CEN. DICKSON paid UP"
Says He Owed Young Ladies' at tlal-
liday 1oc and RENTS Sum
From Sick Bed.

Gen. Dickson was great fayoTite
with the girls at the news stand
While at the Halliday. They had 3
joke over a ten cent piece When
the general first arrived he bought n
paper and didn't wait for the change.
So enc Of the young ladies asked the
bell boy to take the ten cents ''to
that little boy in gray standing over
there" The dime reached the Gen
eral as did also the story. His iden.
tity, however, did not frighten the
girls and the memorable dime was
kept busy passing to and fro from
the Generals hands to those of the
news stand girls until it became a
question which one was to win out.
When the General was overtaken
with illness and precipitate1y re
moved he was in possession of the Ice
piece; but letter received yester'
day shows that his memory is good
that his health is improving and that
he is determined to have the last
word. The letter is as follows:
Springfield, March /, 1910.
About the first sane thought that
came to me upon my coming out from
under the influence of the anaesthetic
following my operation at the hos
pital last Friday night, was that
owed the delightful and charming
ladies who presided over the dis
seminating of newspapers, candy
puzzle tricks, ETC., at the Halliday
House, the sum of ten cents, which
said sum of ten cents is herewith
nclosed
Very sincerely yours,
