Wallace Shorts dog Skip used to
be long haired, but it isn't any
more. It's habitat is Skelpenton,
N. j., where Frank Drumheller has
a trout hatchery.
Skip was hungry and, deciding
to 60 fishing, jumped into one of
the trout pools where there were
5000 young trout each about five
inches long.
The dog grabbed trout and the
other trout, probably ,nistaking
Skip for new kind of foe, swarm
ed around him. They massed them
selves about him and swarm around
and around until he was engufed
in a piscatorial whirlpool.
Each fish took bite of shaggy
hair as it merrily whirled along and
Skip began to bark for help. He
was nearly drowned before Short
heard his yelps and rescued him.
He looked like a Mexican hairless
dog. s
AS usual there was a reason.
Skip had a Skin affection and had
been well rubbed in olive oil, deli
cacy of which fish are very fond.

Mrs. Andrini by affidavit petit
tions the court not to annoy her by
forcing her to answer the suit, be-
cause of her weight.
Besides, she says, her husband
was only peevish when he brought
the suit, and not as aware of its
gravity as he is likely to be when
she finds An opportunity to discuss
1t with him.

The Story Of A Charming
Child Told For Her Birthday

I only nine years old, she watched a
tall hgure Clothed after the way OF
mill gir.s, with a long, coarse linen
| apron which was tied close down the
back with strong tapes to guard
J against accidents from the machinery.
She was so different rom all the
Others that she Immediately riveted
the attention Of our little friend, who
in lated years made her famous to the
world as THAT Lass O Lowrie's.''
Then came the Civil War, carrying
to the English cotton towns it's dread
ful suffering. IS63-64 was known in
this section OF England as the Ian
cashire distress" The following is
the notice which called forth Miss
Muloch's poem-"A Lancashire Dox-
ology': Some cotton has been i'm
ported INFO Farrington where the
mills have been closed for a consider
able time. The peop,e, who were pre-
viously in deepest distress, went down
to meet the cotton; the women wept
over the bales, kissed them, and final
ly sang the Doxology over them"
Great suffering was on every hand and
the child Frances modestly dispensed
such gifts as were within her power
After our own South the caamitous
effects of the war were nowhere felt
as in Manchester. Many of these
humble friends would call at the Hodg-
son back door. The family distin-
guished them as Frances pin and
needle women. Frances fifty women,
Frances dumb man, etc.
But the Hodgson family did not
escape. The Civil War meant ruin to
them also, for it brought the final
blow to their fortunes. The mothe
was woman of refinement, accustom-
ed to ease, who had now become pen
nilcss. A brother, who had establish
ed himself in Knoxville Tennessee,
wrote for the family to come to that
place to live, promising employment
for the two boys. Mrs Hodgson ven
tured into the strange land only upon
her arrival to find her brother had
met with misfortune and was unable
to fulfill his kind intentions.

none in finer spirits than Frances, the
eldest daughter.
A new land OF wonderful interest and
JOY beckoned to her. But only trouble
greeted them, and in the struggle for
relief the girls genius answered to
the call We may say the Civil War
brought Frances Hodgson to America
and the poverty which it caused called
forth her strength and gave her work
to the world.
She had loved to scribble alwavs.
Many things were written and de-
stroyed to keep them from the teasing
eyes OF her brothers, who delighted to

After they reached America Fran
ccs began to teach school, She was
paid Tor her services in potatoes, corn

desperately. She decided to try to

when she thought of mentioning such

After much planning they asked per-
mission OF a gentleman to have

of love-letters fitted across his mind

POLICE COURT

Two youths who were alleged to
have assaulted a woman at Iwilei yes
terday afternoon, will be given a
chance to tell their story to Judge H.
E. Cooper in the juvenile court on
Monday. The woman who swore out
the complaint against the boys will
probably have to answer in police
court next week to a charge of selling
liquor without license.
License Inspector Fennell is under
the impression so he stated this morn
ing, that there are a number of blind
pig joints running now in the vicinity
of Iwilei which he will attempt to find
in the near future.
The first Russian to be found guilty
of selling liquor without a license was
given a suspended sentence of thir-
teen months in police court yesterday
morning on account of being a sick
man. In his talk to the defendant
Judge Andrade told him that he had
better give all his countrymen a warn
ing about selling liquor, as they would
be arrested and severely punished if
they continued to violate the law re-
lative to the sale of liquor without
having any lawful right for so doing.

The following is from Willett & Gray's
last letter:
According to press reports the SIM.
loa Land Company has purchased the
NavOlato sugar plantation and factory
for S1,750,000. This plantation and
mill is located in the valley of the
Culiacan river, twenty miles south of
the city of Suliacan, and comprises IS,
900 acres, 1900 of which are now in
cane, a modern sugar mill and dis
tillery having recently been erected
1t is said the mill has a capacity of soc
tons of cane daily, and that the distil
lery is capable of turning out large
quantities of alcohol daily.
There are also reports of another
