What a Dollar Dog Can Do.

A man in nearby city bought for
 his wife and child a year ago a dog
 for which he pair a dollar. It was obviously nothing wonderful in the canine way-merely a mongrel, with the bulldog strain predominant The owner was a man in humble circum- stances, and the dog in his modest dwelling was the principal asset aside from a few sticks of furniture. The other night Tom was tied to leg of the kitchen sink, as usual, and the family went to bed. They were awak- ened by the dog at midnight scratch ing at his masters door. When his master came out to see what was the matter the dog, with a remnant of chewed rope hanging from his collar, whined and ran to the head of the stairway. The house was on fire, and shortly after woman and child and man and dog made their escape their poor dwelling was a mass of glowing embers. The owner of the dog has been urged to part with him for a large cash consideration; but, though he is penniless, he will not part with the four footed savior of his family Neither has the dog at any time had thoughts of leaving them for luxurious York Times.

To Clear n Debt the First Christian

 The congregation of the First Chris tian Church of Beaver, Okla, a Kans- as City Times correspondent says. planted and reaped forty acres of broomcorn last season to raise funds for reducing the indebtedness on it's new church building. The Rev. R. R. Coney, the pastor, led his congregation In the work, men and women and boys and girls joining with him in the en- terprise.

Whenever there was work to do willing hands were found to do it. The time of ripening came and the corn grew yellow and golden in the sunshine. There was much talk about the prospect of high prices for broom corn, and as the season advanced buy. CTS began coming from eastern mar kets to the broomcorn eds of Beaver County.
 Finally the day of harvesting ar rived and the congregation of the Beaver Christian Church was astir early in the morning. Fathers and mothers, boys and girls and young men and young women, with the Rev. Mir. Cofrey at their head, went to the

Every one who has occasion to con
 cally every grown-up person-nnds it
 annoying that the maps of adjacent
 portions of territory are drawn to diff l ferent scales. At the fifth Information
 al Geographic Congress. which met in
 Berne in 1891, Prof. Albrecht Penck
 made the interesting suggestion that
 all the map-making nations should de eide upon a common scale, and cooper ate in the making of a map of the
 world. He recommended a scale of one
 to one million-about sixteen miles to
 an inch. A map of Pennsylvania on
 scale would measure about twenty inches from east to west, and nine and half inches from north to south. Pro lessor Penck also advised that the meridians that any one sheet would match the sheets representing contigu- ous territory, no matter by what na- tion the sheets were made. The sug- gestion was much discussed at that meeting and in subsequent congresses.
 Last year, when the society met in Geneva, an international committee was appointed to consider details and formulate practical methods of coop eration. Upon the recommendation of this committee, the British govern ment invited the leading countries of the world to send delegates to meet ing in London, for the standardization of the proposed map, upon the scale mentioned, of one to one million. The delegates met at the British foreign office. The representatives of the Uni ted States were two members of the Geological Survey. Good maps con- tribute to a knowledge of history and geography, promote agriculture and in- dustry, and further the advance of civ ilization. In the matter of maps made by the government itself. this country has no need to blush. On the other hand, in what may be called commer cial maps. those which are made by private companies for sale singly or in atlases, the United States Is far be- | hind some European nations.

ADVENTURE WITH GRIZZLY

Captain Williams. an old-time trap per. who voyaged alone in frail canoe for hundreds of miles on the great rivers of the interior, had many thrilling adventures, one of which Is related below. Captain Williams al ways took the precaution at night of tying his canoe to the shore with a piece of rawhide about twenty feet long, which let the canoe swing from the bank that distance. In case of attack from Indians, he could cut the cord that bound him to the shore, and glide of without noise. He always slept in his canoe.
 One night he was reused from sleep by the trampling of something in the bushes on the bank. Tramp! tramp. tramp! sounded the footsteps, which were approaching the canoe.
 The captains first fear was of In dians. but reason told him that no Indian bent on mischief would ap- proach the canoe in that careless fash ion. Peering intently into the dark ness, Captain Williams watched the shore, and soon discovered a grizzly bear coming toward him. Its head up- raised as it sniffed the air.
 The captain snatched his ax, deem ing that the best weapon to defend himself from such a foe. and stood with 1t uplifted. ready to strike the huge aggressor.
 The bear came on, and placed its fore paws upon the stern of the canoe, and nearly upset 1t.
 Like flash descended the ax upon one foot, which was instantly with drawn; but the bear held on with the other foot.
 The captain raised the ax again, and brought 1t down on the animals head Instantly 1t let go the canoe, and sank. stunned, into the water.
 Although Captain Williams watched intently for the grizzly's reappearance nothing more was seen of it. In the morning two of the bears claws were found in the canoe. severed by that doughty blow of the trapper's ax. They were fondly preserved as trophies of the adventure, and were always ex- hibited when the captain told the story of his encounter with the grizzly

OPENING UP RRAZM.

EnOrmOusly Rich Country to Be Reached by New Water Routes. Bolivia east of the Andes is one of the richest regions of the world in timber, rubber and minerals and it has some fine agricultural lands. It has no outlet on the Pacific coast. It's only outlet is through the Amazon and Para. and since peace was made with Brazil railroad activity in this di- rection has taken possession of the whole republic
 East of Bolivia is the great Brazil ian state of Malto Crosse, a territory nearly three times the size of Texas. A dozen large navigable rivers pour northwestward out of this state into the Amazon. Its agricultural, mining and grazing possibilities are very great
 It is said that a great deal of this territory will grow as fine long staple cotton as Mississippi or Alabama. The Brazilian government has matured a plan to connect by canal one of the tributaries of La Plata in this state, thus opening an all-inland water route from Para to Buenos Aires, a distance of nearly 6,000 miles, says the En- gineering Magazine. This extensive route would reach the whole interior of the continent
 Turning to the west and northwest, the Amazon is navigable in its chief tributaries in Peru, Ecuador and Co., lombia to the very walls of the Andes One may go aboard steamer at Para and remain aboard until xt has plowed Its way up to the hill city of Iquitos and several hundred miles beyond. Peru has little Pacific coast trade now and the development of this country must pour its wealth into Para.
 But if Brazil and Para had none of these Andean republics to draw trade from, the development of the Brazil ian Amazon valley alone must in time amount to untold wealth In the states of Para and the Amazonas and the fed eral territory of Acre there are near the waters edge 10,000,OOO rubber bearing trees of the Hevea variety These trees if properly tapped will live indefinitely and steadily increase their yield. The state of Para is consider ably larger than Texas and much of this state will grow excellent cotton
