THAT LOST PUPPY
THE STORY OF A SEARCH, WITH
PROPER RESULT.
Household Pet Had Left Train Of
Devastation as He Went on His
joyful Way-CIaim of owner
ship Postponed.

The puppy was missing-our own
little Kiddo, and none knew where he
might be In fact we felt it would be
easier TO tell where he might not be,
with a choice limited to the stable
cupola and the bell tower on the en-
CINE house.
Search of his favored spots revealed
him not. Under the house we found
the feathers of a chicken we had be-
licved long since safely inferred. Frag-

from the clothesline showed that he

puppy was nowhere in sight
Out in the alley we found where in
his innocent play he had carried the
cooks best apron and made strings Of
it, Poor little dog! He had to have
something to amuse himself with.
Our neighbor, Mr.. Burns, came to
the back fence and rested his coatless
arms upon it,
Have you seen our dog?' we asked
him. Mr. Eurns considered.
What sort of a dog was he?" he
asked. "A little, fiea-bit mongrel with
a stub taiI?"

Some darn little snub-tailed beast ate
the wood of a new cheese and got into

That wasn't our dog" we assured
him. Our dog hates cheese-wOn't

which way did that dog gO?"
Following his directions and fol
lowed by his suspicious glances we
went down the street again. Far
down the street we beheld a small
and hilarious crowd.
Apr Oaching, we saw the cause. A
little stump-tailed fox terrier, pain
fully like our own lost pet, had
paused at a second hand store and had
pulled down a string Of shoes that
were on exhibit outside.
These we was doing his utmost TO
destroy, manifesting the hveiiest sat

knew whose dog he was. But as we

SAFETY FOR MINERS
SIMPLE DEVICES THAT MIGHT BE
OF MUCH VALUE.
Recent Disaster at Cherry Hill Has
Led Writer in Eastern Journal to
Make Suggestions for Avoid
D ing Catastrophes.

In reading the accounts of various
recent coal mine disasters, it occurs
TO me that certain devices for protect
ing life should be employed under
such conditions which, from all ac
counts, appear not to have been util.
lied in such cases.
The action of the miners at Cherry
Hill in shutting themselves up in one
of the mine compartments, by filling
up the opening with earth and other
material suggests the ACCESSIBILITY Of
installing heavy asbestos curtains
like the fire curtains used in the
aters), or other similar means OF cut
ting off connection Of one part OF a
mine from another These curtains
could be installed in such a way as to
be removed from workings tnat be-
come exhausted or are not used.
Another suggestion is that each sec
tion Of the mine workings be provided
with emergency telephone stations.
Telephone systems. ] believe, have
been installed for business purposes
IN some mines. Such facilities would
enable entombed miners TO communi.
cate with the outside and afford in
valuable assistance in case Of acci.
dent
The temporary lighting Of workings
by electricity also afford greater
safety. and would doubtless be very
valuable in case OF accident.
In mines without water supplies. II
would seem feasible to keep all sec
lions of the workings supplied with
readily available water, so that, in
case of an accident, if the miners were
cut off from any section of the mine,
at least sufficient water would be at
hand to meet their needs.
II would seem desirable, also, 70
have certain escape shafts located IN
the safest parts of the mine, in sec
items which could quickly DE cut oil
in case of fire or explosion. They
should be special shafts, to be used
for the escape of the men in case OF
accident. They could be provided with
iron ladders or hand-hoisting appa
ratus. II necessary, and would CORE,
spond somewhat to the fire escapes OF
large modern buildings.
II would seem that devices like
these, which may be used in some OF
the more progressive mines, should be
installed in all coal mines where any
considerable number Of men are re-
quired to work. 1t would be as Tea.
sonable to require the installation OF
such appliances, along with those now
more generally In use, such as ven
tilating fans, etc, as it is to require
devices for the protection OF life in
large buildings and on the railroads
The installation of such appliances
should be supervised by good en-
gineers, and the devices should be in
spected and tested frequently enough
TO insure their efficiency. They should
be so installed that an explosion or a
fall OF earth will not put them out Of
commission. How extensively are
such appliances used? Can any one

Marriage.

The Lexington Herald is dis

most instances the cause is short

parties to the contract don't find
