PET DOG USES TOBACCO

People who assert that tobacco will
kill a dog, horse or pig will be sur
prised to learn that the pet Boston
terrier owned by F. H. Smith of Nor
way, Me-, chews tobacco and enjoys
it together with an abundance of good
health. The dog is finely bred ami
NAL, and does a number of tricks.
He has used tobacco several years
One day when Mr.. Smith threw away
a "quid" he was greatly surprised to
see his pet pick it up and swallow It.
Fearing that the dog would suffer he
made an effort to remove the tobacco
from its stomach, but without avail
The dog showed no i'll effects from
use Of the weed" and watched Mr.
Smith when he placed another Chew"
in his mouth. When this was thrown
away the dog seized 1t as before and
then began a strange habit that has
lasted several years. Inseparable COM
panions, the dog and his master en-
JOY many hours together and the dog
barks happily when his accustomed
allowance of tobacco is thrown to him
The dogs special pleasure is when his
master will cut bit of un-chewed to-
bacco from the plug for his benefit.

TRAPPED BY HIS WHISPERS

An odd little adventure, more hui
morous than tragic, happened in a hotel
at Seattle the other day, the victim
being a guest from Salt Lake City
named Morris Steigers, who rejoiced
in the possession of a twenty-eight
inch growth of flowing whiskers.
AS Katie Merrill, who handles the
linen on the top floor of the hotel was
tripping down a hallway she saw ap-
parently hanging from a door knob
what looked like a woman's switch
It was gray and fully twenty inches
long.
Mercy quoth Katie. What a
peculiar place for a SWITCH"
Then Katie looked closer and dis
covered that the bunch was held fast
in the door jamb. With q pass key
she opened the door, when Steigers
toppled backward very much exka ust-
ed, but once more a free man.
Steigers, while writing a letter, had
felt a draught and gone to the door
to close it. A guest of wind waited
his whiskers outward and they were
caught when the door slammed 1t
was a catch lock and he was held a
prisoner for over an hour because he
could not unlock the door, and he did
not wish to lose his much-treasured
patriarchal beard.

cow SAVES FARMERS LIFE

A COW, which L. G.. Stahl, farmer
living near Dalton, was taking to an
sbattoir in Masillon, o., saved its own
err slife and the life of a valuable
horse. Stahl, riding in buggy, was
leading the COW down steep hill, at
the foot of which is the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad crossing. The horse. un-
able to hold back the buggy, started
to run. Just then a passenger train
rapidly approaching the crossing, shot
into view. Stahl was tangled up in
the lines and the rope with which he
was leading the COW, and couldn't
jump.
Then rs feet from the tracks the
COW reared and stuck it's front legs
between the spokes of rear wheel
of the buggy. The wheel slid and
served as a brake. The horse was
able to stop few feet from the tracks
just as the train swept past StahI
will keep the COW.

After fifteen months absence, exact
ly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kali
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing, June Is, at II a. m. To the keen
disappointment of large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr.. Roose-
welt absolutely refused, as heretofore,
to be interviewed or to talk on politi-
cal subjects, but his rapid fire of ques-
tons showed the same virile interest
in public affairs as before.
If the welcome rendered by the
vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which to base a ere
turn from Elba," surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep-
tion-parade. nor in the wildly clamor-
Gus crowd which cheered at every
glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents of the day in New
York were many, but perhaps none
better illustrated the nervous energy
and vitality of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing, which he has
brought back to us, than the discard
ing of horses and carriages for the
swifter and more reliable automobiles.

REMARKABLE SURGICAL FEAT

A remarkable operation was per-
formed recently at Kings College hos
pital. London, shawl pin being sue
cessfully removed from a patients
lungs. The patient, young married
woman, was holding a shawl-pin, ~
inches long. in her mouth, when some
thing made her laugh, and the pin
vanished down her throat. An exam
ination by X-rays showed that the pin
lay just below the right breast.
The patient was placed under chic
reform, and cocaine was applied to
the internal parts of the throat.
Bruning's telescope tube was then in
troduced, when the pin was found in
the main bronchus. The pin was i'm
mediately seized with pair of forceps
and withdrawn through the mouth
The patient returned home two days
later, and has remained perfectly we'll
since the operation.

TROUT WITH A PITCHF0RK

Think of finding big speckled noun
tain trout in such clusters that you
could throw them out of a stream
with a pitchfork. Many people have
tossed little candleflsh or some other
varieties which run in schools out of
the ocean when a whale drove them
on the beach. but the experience of
throwing out trout in that manner is
rare. You can do IT for day or two
almost every summer in a lake far
back in the Cascade mountains in
Oregon.
This lake was called Fish Lake by
the first white men who saw Il be-
cause fish we're so plentiful in it's wa
tiers. Splendid mountain trout can be
caught there ia large numbers on any
good fishing day.
The lake is wide and shallow and
goes dry almost every summer. The
waters gradually recede into small
stream which runs through the cen
ter of the lakes bed, Into this stream
the fish crowd and for a DAY OF two
after the waters have receded into
this channel men can walk along the
marshy ground beside the stream and

Plant the rows all one way-north
and south-so the sun can strike both
sides.
Keep the hoe going in dry weather
and you will not need the watering
pot often.
The wheel-hoe will save many a
backache and do the work of three
hand hoes
Making a good garden is a mans
job. Do not leave the hard work to
the women folks.
Wild strawberries nave the most
delicious flavor. They are easily trans
planted to the garden.
Caulifower can be grown more
easily than cabbage. 1t is always in
demand and at good prices.
A handful of grain dug into an ant
hill will bring the chickens to it and
then good-by to the insects
Do not plant short rows but let
them run the whole length of the
garden If need be-why not?
Do not modest the bees after they
get to work, and give them an album
dance of room in which to store
honey.
The agricultural department figures
out that the annual waste of barn
yard manure on American farms, ag-
gregates $125,000,000.
A plant of Swiss chard sown ad-
joining the poultry yard will supply
green's all summer provided the fowls
are not allowed to eat it more than
an hour a day.
Don't keep bees unless you mean
to give them the proper care and at
tention. If you can't do that you had
better leave some one else keep the
bees and buy your honey from him.

literally toss out big mountain trout
with scoops.
Fish Lake is fed by streams flow-
ing direct from mountain snow, so
the fish il Ii are first class. A stream
runs from Fish Lake to Clear Lake, a
deep body of water three-auarters OF
a mile away, and as this lake is al
ways full of trout the connecting
stream insures a good supply of trout
in Fish Lake.
This lake lies along the Willamette
valley and Cascade mountain wagon
road near the summit of the Cascade
mountains, seventy-seyen miles east
of Albany. Because the lake dries up
almost every summer 1t is not a de
sirable camping place and no resort
has ever been established there This
lack of recommendations as well as
the hardship of drive of sixty-five
miles from the nearest railroad point
keeps people away. Consequently the
supply of fish in this lake has never
failed

ONE FISH WORTH OVER S14O

The shad season at Chester, Pa,
has closed and the river fishermen
are turning their attention to the
catching of sturgeon. The season has
been one of the best in recent years,
owing to high prices. Recently when
Frank Pierce landed a 800 pound
sturgeon the fish contained eighty
seven pounds of roe. which is worth
$3.50 a pound, and the meat is valued
at cents a pound.
