Two Collars on a Dog.

Having bought a dog that he admir- ed, n man undertook to buy n dog col lar. The dog had a neck nearly as big as his head, and the dealer advised the pan to buy two collars.
 What for?" said the man. He's only got one neck, so I guess he can get along with only one collar, can't he?
 Maybe so," said the man, so the man went away leading the dog. by his new collar and chain. In less than a week he brought the dog back.
 "I'm afraid I can't keep him." he said. "He Is too obstreperous. I can't keep him tied up. His neck is the big gest part of him, and he is as strong as an OK, therefore it is a cinch for him to slip his collar off"
 That was why wanted you to take two collars" said the dealer. Put both on and fasten the chain to the back collar, and he can tug away all night without getting loose. He may commit suicide, but he won't get loose."-New York Sun.

Anthracite Becoming a Luxury


 The reason for the comparatively large gain in the production of bituminous coal lies in the fact that anthracite has been for number of years becoming more and more a luxury, and will continue to do so until the areas are exhausted.
 The comparatively small area in which anthracite is produced and the increaS- ing cost of production as deeper and thinner beds have to be worked have resulted naturally in gradual advance in the price of anthracite and in It's gradual elimination as fuel for manu- featuring purposes. It is now almost entirely restricted to domestic consump- tion in the Eastern States.
 Large amounts of the smaller sizes of anthracite which were formerly wasted are now used for steaming, sometimes mixed with bituminous coal and some- times alone, but for this purpose the smaller sizes are used chiefly for heat ing and running elevators in office buildings, hotels and apartment houses rather than for manufacturing. Even for domestic uses coke and gas, the products of bituminous coal, are compet- ing more and more with anthracite in towns.

Coal Horse Runs Away

A one-horse coal team belonging to John VanDeasen started from "Jack" Wells's, on Reed Street yesterday after noon at about four o'clock, while the driver, Theodore Adam was in the house after unloading his wagon. What started the horse is not known, but it dashed up Main Street at full speed, the empty wagon making a great chatter, and turned the corner into Railroad Street, missing another team by a narrow mar gin. At George Wilcox's it turned iD, the wagon striking against an electric light pole, breaking the shaft and free ing the horse, which ran up to Wllcox's barn where it was caught. No consid- erable damage was done, but the incl dent created some excitement along the route.

JOB ON BIRDS
State OrnithoIogist Writes on Game
 Propagation.

H. K. Job, state ornithologist, in his February letter writes:
 More than a century ago, when game was abundant, futile attempts were made to introduce foreign game birds as novelties into America. But not till 33 years ago, when the growing scarcity of game began to be recognized, was there any determined effort to re- stock depleted covers. Cautiously, one of the elrlier of these recent attempts was the most successful of any, up to date. In 1880-1 a few ring-necked pheasants, imported from China, were released in Oregon in the Willamette Valley, and multiplied over Ill that region. When in 1899, the fist open season was declared, it is estim ~ d that 5O,O00 pheasants were shot on tile open ing day.
 This naturally raised a great furore for pheasants, and in no less th tn 16 States has the liberation or prOpt, :tion of various kinds Of pheasants b..a:. -ried,
  though at first some of these ..o, olnpts seemed to be succeeding.
 Discouraged over the showing of the pheasants, popular sentiment was turned to the so-called Hungarian" partridge. This title is a misnomer,, the right one being the gray partridge. This species is familiar game bird of most of Europe and occurs east to central Asia. It is a fine bird, and was wise selection in the honest effort to find adaptable foreign species to supplement our own.
 At least States have embarked upon this experiment., some of them on a large scale especially from 1908. Thus far about $150,000.-has been spent for gray cartridges, and for all foreign game species about half a million dollars.
 While it is too early to make final judgment as to the possible results of recent and present attempts. the general verdict from disinterested scientists is that success in acclimating foreign game species of any kind under strange conditions is most dubious, with the odds all against it, and that far greater results proportionately would be secured by similar efforts to increase and propa- gate native game birds, species which Nature has adapted and made fit for certain environment by an age-long process. We may even believe that if near the outset the English sparrow itself had been consistently hunted by the 100000 gunners of the United States. iteould hardly have "stuck."
 Seeing that there is to be one further effort this spring by our State Com missioners of Game to clinch the expert Sment with the Hungarian" partridge, the least we can do is to help the Com mission in every possible way by feed ing and protecting the birds. if any are released in our vicinity and advocate the Commission bill, which should not fail to pass, which protects the gray partridge in this State for five years.

 Mrs. Cramer's condition is critical. Her insanely jealous husband rained blows on her face and body with a small coal shovel. Cramer was several times examined to determined if he was sane, but the courts invariably discharged him.

A Horse Thief

Professor Schnider had horse, The meanest horse in town, Always running where he pleased And rubbing fences down. He seemed to wear funny smile And had narrow chest, And my! he made an awful noise Each time he took breath. Horse thief! Well now, a bigger one l guess was never sent To plague poor mortals here; and yet He looked so innocent. Aunt Mary had some fancy chicks That roasted on loft Just low enough for Schnider's horse To nip ones head right off l! Out came Aunt Mary on run; 1 tell you she was cross; If you could only see the way She lashed that poor old horse! One day Ma made some pumpkin pies And put them out upon stool Long came that plagueY Schnider'

 He says That animals pest !" Wish the Lord he had gun
 He bet he'd make a mess. My Ma said she would fix him, She'd make pie for him, And fill it up with rusty nails
 And pieces of old tin. Said she'd got just sick and tired Of that horse a running town, So when he ate this pie of hers He'd soon go under ground. Well, Schnider's horse he ate the pie And didn't even make inspection It never chased away his smile Nor taxed his horse digestion. Dad said it was the darndest,
 He'd never seed the beat; "A greater wonder than that horse Has never walked the street." But he just kept up his capers,
 Bout Electrified the town, If you'd meet him on the sidewalk 'Twould be you who'd go around. AS kicker he was just star,
 As thief a great success But at last he stopped railroad train, Then made an awful mess.
