GIVES UP HIS life
FOR WOOLLY TOY DOG
Little Boy Braves Surging
Creek to Save Pet and Is
Swept to Death.

! NEWBURG, n. Y, April 13.-Clarke
/ Thorpe, who used to say he was two
years old going on three, was found
drowned in QuaSSack creek yesterday aft
ernoon by searching party a quarter Of
mile from his home. and In his hand
| was the woody toy dog for which the boy
gave up his life.
Last Christmas the lad got the dog.

was much larger and very ferOcious The
| little fellow thought he was going to

| tried to reconcile them by putting them
| together to sleep In the same soap box.
| To Clarke's mind they didn't get on
amicably. He used to think in the night
| that he could hear them fighting, but
| somehow when he got out of bed to set
tie their differences they were always
pretending that they were sound asleep
| and hadn't done a thing.
Wool Begins to Vanish.
The boy knew better however, because
| little by little the wool was disappearing
| from his little dog and Clarke worried
about it, There was scar or two on
the bear, where the woOlly dog had Bit

| bear right, for he was the bigger and
stronger, and he didn't get much SYM
pathy.
For more than month Clarke had
been figuring on taking his woOlly pet out
for BATH but it just seemed to him that
all the time the water in the creek back
of the house was frozen over, and it
| wouldn't be right to put dog in the
family bathtub.
The creek has been gurgling along
back of the house for several days free
| from ice. But Clarke was very busy until
yesterday, when he took his pet down to
| the bank of the little stream. The boy
put in first one foot and then another, to
| let his pet grow accustomed to the cold
| water gradually But he must have

| slipped from his grasp and foated down

Time for Quick Action.

the same moment he was swept from his
feet and his body was carried along
| until he sank.
| When Mrs. Thorpe could not find the
| little fellow near the house she gave the
alarm. Half an hour later his body was
recovered, the dog in his grasp.

SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
TORN INTO SMALL BITS
Reckless Waste of Cash by
Transient Guest at New
York Hotel.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Broadway
CRASHED it's teeth in baffled rage yester-
day when it learned that it had over
looked one of the best bets Of the spring
season. Regular money, more than $500
of it, which might just as we'll have been
filed away in the various cash registers
between Herald Square and the circle
had been converted into confetti and dis
tributed in playful manner through the
Mushrooms of the Mills Hotel No. 3, at
7th avenue and 36th street
The money was found by one of the
residents at the hotel in a Mushroom on
the ground floor Monday morning. News
of the find got about the big building.

Mysterious Visitor.
Mystery surrounds the man who Is
known to have reduced the roll to its low
est possible denominations. He lived at
the hotel all last week and was looked
upon by the other men as a person who
had not always put up at such places.
FrlOdy morning he appeared III the Dig
lounging room with registered letter
He showed it to one of the men. who saw
that it bore the pOstmark of some Long
Island town, and contained three one
thousand-dollar bills. He disappeared
soon after and apparently did his best to
see that Broadway got it's share of the
$1,000.
At o'clock he returned and went down
to the dining room. He had the extreme
ly careless manner of a man who has
just spent great deal of money, none of
1t for dry goods.
No matter how expert a spender a per-
son may be he cannot spend more than
thirty cents in the Mills Hotel restaurant

the next morning r. A. Ferris, who has
room on the second floor, found the
pile of regular money In corner of the

that there was no piece more than an
inch and a half long, and not more than
one piece of any one bill. All denomina-
tions from 81 to $50 were represented, and
apparently a narrow strip had been torn
off the end Of each bill. The other ends
bers, were missing. At the subtreasury 1t
was said yesterday that the missing por-
tions If still intact, would be worth their
face value.

Representative Underwood, chair

fact he is now painfully aware.
He drove out to a settlement IN

the farmers they ought to vote for

TURN MORE LAND TO GRASS
Many Farmers Do Not Realize How
Valuable Crop Is, Especially With
Beef, Mutton and Pork.

More land in grass should be tn.
slogan in the south. We have been
fighting grass for many years. Let
US put thousands of acres in grass
and give 1t a square deal. We do not
realize how valuable grass is. We
do not value 1t fully as a feed. We
have never kept an account of the
beef, mutton. pork and so on that an
acre of good grass produces. We do
not realize that land in grass instead
Of cotton. corn, tobacco, cane or rice
to a large extent solves the labor
problem. We do not measure the large
return from the land in grass and the
small cost Of growing the grass.
Many farmers in the south prize
wheat. oats, corn. cotton, rice and
cane crops because their growth has
become a habit. Very few farmers
have compared the profit derived from
an acre Of cotton and an acre Of Der
muda grass, lespedeza and some win
ter clover. On many farms the grow
ing of cotton represents a loss instead
Of q profit. On many farms In tn

whole truth, but few farmers IN the
south believe what he said. Not one
farmer in a thousand fully appreciates

of Kentucky has done much to cause
