Dog Deadheads e23 Miles.

San Antonio, Tex.-Three months
ago George Fleming went from this
city to Ell Paso, taking with him a
small dog. Three weeks or more
ago the dog was missed from the Ell
Paso home and nothing was heard Of
the animal until 1t appeared in this
city
1T seems that the dog made friends
with number Of railroad men in Ell
Paso, and after a time concluded to
return to his old home here. After
riding out of Ell Paso on a freight
train the animal was passed along
from crew to crew and finally reached
San Antonio, having deadheaded the
entire distance, 623 miles.

about 40 years ago. at the time of the
great Chicago fire, he and his wife
Anna Catharins. became separated.
he supposed she had perished ani
several years afterward he took an.
other wife, Celia, and settled on a
farm near here. During all these years
Anna Catharine has been searching
for him. Two or three years ago she
found him and his second wife living
very happily.
'lnere was long family discussion.
Each women admitted that the other
was blameless and each generously
Volunteered to disappear and leave the
other In possession Of the man. Final.

hair Then he plucked another and
adorned Celia's hair in the same ro-

OF them and couldn't think OF parting
with either.
So 1t was arranged that all three
were to live in harmony under one
roof
But such state Of affairs could not
last The women Quarreled Mr..
Sharp offered to build separate
house for one of them-either one. he
didn't care which. They couldn't
agree as to which was to live alone
and the quarrel waxed more and more.
Finally Mr.. Sharp took matters into
his own hands and he is building two
new cottages on his farm, separated
by high picket fence. Each wife is
to have home of her own and keep
out OF the other woman's home. For
himself. he says he will live alone In
the old house.
But he says he will eat his meals
with each on alternate days, II they
are good-the women as we'll as the

commodation. occasionally unlocking
brightly nickled lantern from his
left elbow and dropping off into the
night to wigwag the engineer.
One day the division superintendent
OF the Northwestern line at Omaha
summoned young Conductor Hayes in
to his grim presence.
Are you aware, Mr.. Hayes, that
you have been turned in a number of
times lateiy?" said the superintendent
to the conductor after the latter had
nervously placed his cap on the edge
OF the glass topped table.
Hayes trembled and his heart sank.

by passengers.

them. but scares them and knocks
them out OF a proper frame OF mind

place the window panes or experiment
with sound vibrations on the bell rope.
But 1t seems that Mr.. Hayes is a
walking library for volumes and vol.
umes of stentorian noise 1t couldn't
be suppressed. and as he had no time
to attend ball game and let out
steam on the bleachers, he had to re-

end OF yellow car and closing the
foor at the opposite end by sheer force
OF his low register.
