MASTER SHOT by HIS DOG.
Animal Discharges Shotgun by Plac-
ing Paw on Trigger.

In return for all the hunting dogs
that have been mistaken for game
and shot to death by hunters, Albedt
Iell's faithful pet shot his master,
says kokomo dispatch. Then he
wagged his tail to show he was still
friendly, and his brown eyes flied
with tears at the realization the hun
ter had been hurt. Hell had mar
row escape, but survived.
He had found rabbit in brush
heap and was trying to beat it out Of
its retreat. TO do this he had laid
his shotgun on the ground beside
the brushes. His dog trotted about,
eager to catch the rabbit, and, trine
forgetful OF his master, placed paw
upon the trigger Of the gun.
The gun was discharged and part
OF the load Of shot lodged in Zell's
elbow. The rest Of it tore through
the pocket of his hunting coat,
whistling amid loaded shells, which
might easily have blown Zell to
pieces. A second hunting dog was
killed instantly by the accident.

was very fond of hunting, too.
Larcen says, "See here, Mr.. With

a thing as that before. Bring him

So Larcen took the horse over and

bit sitting in the bushes; he tickled
the old horse on the side and he sat
right down
Witherspoon says, "see here, jim,
what be your horse doing?"
Keep still, Witherspoon; don't
you see that rabbit setting in the
bushes? This old horse is setting
him."
Witherspoon says, "Wen, now, I
never seed anything like that before.
How will you swap"
II will swap for hundred and fir-
ty dollars to boot" says jim. So
they swapped; and going back to

IN doing so he touched the old horse

Washington, Feb. 4.-That the

THE LAST INSTALLAIIGNT.
A New Yorker Got Start from South

(Brooklyn Eagle.)
When the Southern Confederacy
fell, it fell. Like the one-horse shay,
1t went all to pieces, nothing first,
just as bubbles do when they burst
Well, when the Confederacy thus
collapsed, it was relying through its
agents on money for cotton stored
abroad. The cotton had run the
blockade. The money ran the block
ade back to the South, and it was re-
ceived by the agent who had trans
mitted 1T more than once before to
the Richmond government.
AT the very last there was no
Richmond government and no Con-
federacy. The last installment Of
money for cotton was received after
the Confederate government had
ceased to be. 1t could not be return
ed to a government that had ceased
to exist and whose officers were fug-
tivcs. The agent who received that
last installmcnt did not feel like
handing 1T over to the United States
government. The latter did not know
the money existed, and, therefore,
could make no claim for the money.
1t did not know the agent existed. 1t
could, therefore, make no claim on
him.

1t here. The man kept it, came North

On the western altar lay,

With the voice OF the sweet-toned

With which my soul was filled.

And longed to hear the organ
Repeat it 10 me again.

My tune that | could not play,
The strains Of the glorious anthem
That had filed my soul all day.
Down through the dim cathedral
The tide Of music swept,
And through the shadowy arches
The lingering arches crept,
And stood in the purple twilight
And heard my tune again,
Not my feeble, untaught rendering,
But the masters perfect strain.
So think, perchance, the Master,
AT the close Of life's weary day,
Will take from our trembling fingers
The tune we cannot play.

The strain, although half express

He will blend it in perfect music
And add to it all the rest.

HOW TO CURE RHEUM UMATISm
1t Is An InternnI Disease And Re-
Iuircs An Internal RcmcdX

Quirch An internal Ncmeuy.
The cause Of rheumatism and kindred
diseases Is an excess of uric acid in tho
blood. TO cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed In excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism Is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay tho proper treat
ment, and allows tho malady to get q
f}rmer hold on you. Liniments may ease
tho pain, but they will no moro euro
rheumatism than paint will change tho
fiber OF rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
Rheumacde. Tested in hundreds OF cases,
1t has effected tho most marvellous cures;
we believe 1t will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside, sweeps
the poisons out Of tho system, tones up
tho stomach, regulates tho liver and
kidneys and makes you we'll all over.
Rheumacide strikes tho root Of the dis.
ease and removes it's cause. This splcn-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at 50c. and 81 a bottle.

A PRISON CONTRAST.
Difference in Treatment of Man Who
Stole 500 and 100000.

(Charles Ware, in World Today.)
A man hanged himself in a peni-
tentiary not long ago. lie was a Con
vict. Ina period Of. five years he had
been allowed to leave his cell only
two times, except for the few min
utes of each day in which he was
turned into the narrow walled alley
at the rear for exercise. His cell
was by II feet in dimensions-the
size OF the average grave lot. In this
room he had been forced TO eat, sleeD
and work. His meals were passed to
him through the grated door. The
materials for his daily task were
handed to him in the same manner
He made cigars, l believe. In the
evening the product Of his toll was
taken from him in similar fashion
Three times each day rude tray
was passed through the bars with
his prison fare. On Sundays the mu-
sic and sermon OF the chapel SER
vice floated to him down the corri-
Noi' ioi he was HOJ even allOWeQ 10
leave his cell for worship. At the
back of his cell was a small enclosed
yard, perhaps 10 by 20 feet in '2r.
IT SO inclined he could spend &c or
30 minutes here out Of every "a
hours. High walls surrounded it on
every side, SO that by no possibility
could he see or be seen by his neigh
bors.

field into which the American Prison

The prison doors have closed be-
hind us again, but we are not meeting
scene of darkness and dampness
There is no trade Of hardship or hor-
ror IN the picture before us. There
are no barred windows in the room
that we have entered. No grated
door clangs at our shoulders. No
foul or mustoy odors here, no cold

genial cherry light streams into the
apartment from between lace cur
tains and our feet sink into a soft
rug. On the walls hang expensive
pictures, and OH a shelf before us are

large roll-top desk, and ca,ed before

ing cigar. At his elbow is ste
nographer, to whom he is debating
answers to the heap OF letters be-
fore him.
This man, like that other figure at
the Eastern State Pcnitentiary, is a
convict. Like that other convict he
has stolen and has been sent to
prison for theft. The first man was
a burglar and got away with some
thing less than 500 worth OF spoons
and cheap jewelry. The second man
was a bank president and got away
with something more than 100000
In cold cash and guilt-edged bonds.
The first man would have been penni-
less had he lived to leave his cell.
