 When the actors were seen creep ing near their intended victim he growIed. clutched his collar, but when the man was actually attacked Jack parked and, breaking away from me, dashed up the aisle, bounded over the orchestra railing and did his best to spring upon the pictured robbers. He wanted to tear them to pieces. l don't know what he would have sue ceeded in doing if there had been no interference. Somebody had presence of mind to turn on the lights.

 "Well!" he murmured in a puzzled tone, That doesn't look a bit like tho one"
 'The one!" cried Mrs. Kingthorne. What one, and what is it?"
 The bell rang just then and King. thorne went to the door. When he reioined them he was leading by a leash an Airedale pup. A grown-up Airedale is without doubt the ugliest dog yet invented. but an Airedale pup transcends, by a hundred degrees the ugliness of the grown-up Airedale. There is no use fn trying to tell what Kingthorne's pup looked like, because if adequate words could be found mo- body would believe the description anyhow
 Kingthcrne spoke into the immense silence almost defantly. He's a bench dog." he said "AI my fife I've wanted an Airedale-and I am sure Jimmy will be crazy about this one. So win you when you get used to his looks and appreciate his noble nature. That brown, woody thing hasn't any class, my dear"
 Well. like himi" cried Mrs. King thorne, indignantly.
 Jimmy slammed into the house just then. Something slammed in with E aim. It was an overgrown, calflike creature. all legs and tall and tongue, with great ugly head, and its style of architecture was a combination of everything from early Greek down.
 Hes mine!" Jimmy cried, proud y. "An ashcart man gave him to me, an he's goin' to sleep in my room an everythin'! An you said could nave a dogl" He gave a passing glance of disinterested scorn at the olooded Airedale and the toy woolly pup.

SAN SIMON
 ENJOYS NEAR
 CLOUD BURST
Farmers Happy as Skies Weep; Good Crops in Valley Practically
 Assured

SAN SIMON. .Ariz.. July 24-Yes- terday San simon was visited by a rain that amounted almost to a cloud burst The fall during the twenty four hours ending yesterday at D. m. was 3.2 inches. the major portion of which fell in 45 minutes-from ll:20 a. m. to 12:15 D. m. This brings the total for the past week up 10 4l inches, which is only a little more than two inches of the average annual precipitation of CPS There fore this promises to be an unusual ly good rainy season
 This rain was a joy to the farmers. some of whom were inclined to be somewhat discouraged at the pres pects of accomplishing anything in the way of dry farming They had planted large crops, which up to yes terday had failed to make much growth. Excellent crops are assured by dry farming now, if any more rains fall at all; and these are prac- tically certain. for the rainy season has just begun and unsettled weather conditions still prevail.
 The recent school bond election carried unanimously. though there was small vote owing to the fact that only property taxpayers of record last year were entitled to cast their ballots, and San Simon was scarcely on the map last year though possess ing population of about 300 now and a school census of 69. The result of the election insures the issuance and sale Of bonds in the amount of s7.000 for the purpose of erecting a hand some school building of four rooms. The secretary of the school board is already in communication with three bond firms desirous of purchasing the bonds. One of these prospective bond buyers, residing in New Mexico, writes that he Knows the country" and is therefore anxious to make the purchase. Today the school board will canvass the returns of the cleo ton. according to law. and will then certify the returns to the county board of supervisors. who will at once proceed to issue and advertise for sale the bonds. And the building will be erected as soon as possible.

WHY THEY LEAVE THE FARM
Story Indicates That the Remunera-
 ton Some AericultuTists Allow Their Sons Is Not Adequate.

"Just the other day I met ! staiwart young fellow whose every a ppearance would indicate he was a son Of the soil, says a writer in Farm and Preside. "Six years ago he left the old home. At that time he had very little education, but by steady, indus trious labor he has won out, and to- day is promising young lawyer. lie told me that the first year he left the farm he obtained employment in a machine shop at what seemed to his mind a large sum Of money, SIP a week. He worked hard for nearly three months. when one day he re- ceived telegram from his father, asking him to return at once.
 Having left delicate little mother, he rushed home with all haste, fearing to find some great trouble at the end of his journey. His father met him at the station and calmly explained that his hired man had left and he could not get his hay in alone. Ny young hero, not daunted in the Ieast, informed his father that he had gwen up his job to return home and asIed what pay he was to receive for ais work. The father promised a certain small sum. After two months hard work the son asked for money to buy suit of clothes and received it. Al the end of the season. when the young man wanted a final settlement he was put off from time t0 time, and at last went away 10 the city with an empty pocket azd a heartful of resentment"

NEVER FIGHT WITH BURGLAR
Upset Chair and Brighten Him Away That Is the Advice of City
 Policeman.

Don't ever hunt a burglar. Make noise and frighten him away. Upset chair or slam door.
 Almost all burglars carry revolv- CTS of the finest kind. pete man or safe blower, the most dangerous kind of criminal. usually carries an automatic revolver, as it gives the quickest action.
 Every householder should have a weapon In the house. but he should never use it unless to save his life
 Tt is the inexperienced man whose use of the revolver makes it danger ous.
 "A professional or expert burglar ~ill never shoot unless to avoid cap rure. A safe blower will shoot at 6 policeman or any intruder, as for them capture means long term in prison. !"
 Special Officer Edward Brophy, an expert, made these statements, says the Pittsburgh Post. It is only on the very rarest occasions that he can be induced to talk about himself, but 1t Is a fact that he is a crack shot with, pistol. He has made a study of weapons. and has collection of them at his home ranging from little baby hammerless" revolvers to huge Win chester rifles, shot from which will move a heavy safe. He has always been interested fin guns, and has ta- ken special pains to learn about the guns burglars and other criminals carry.

Jimmy Gets a Dog

In 6 needless moment the King hornes yielded to Iimmy's ardent and Vociferous pleas and admitted that it night be possible to permit him to nave a dog to play with. Up to that ime they had been able to match his easing by succinct and comprehen- tive ''No!" But now life was vastly different.
 Every homecoming of the elder members of the family, if not greeted by "Didyuh bring my dog?" was hailed with the vail, When kin ! have my dog?" or "Whut kind of dog is it I'm going to get?" until the King thornes reached the stage where their opinion on dogs as 8 whole was so intense that 1t was wordless. The situation led to dissensions also. for both Kingthorne and his wife ac- cused the other of having been the one who said the fatal word of assent. The peace of the family was gone, and the more they argued the worse it grew. Of the lot Jimmy was the most injured. for with all the picker Ing because of dog there wasn't any log

 "What?" demanded her caller There aren't green tomatoes growing out there!"
 "Pickies?" repeated Mrs. King thoTne, dreamily. "No. it's dog. It doesn't seem to belong to any one, eitheri"

It'll get stepped on or stolen or something. and to own 1t would send Jimmy Into mysteries of joy. SO. really, I think it Is my duty to rescue the puppy, don't you?"
 Everybody wanted to see the puppy at close range, so everybody said Yes" Mrs. Kingthorne went out and brought the animal in.
 Don't dogs have germs and things?" demanded one of the visit ors. Tt Is likely to give Jimmy some thing. isn't itg
 That was why everybody followed Mrs. Kingthorne down into the laun- dry to see her give the waif a bath. He was very little and the tub was very big and the soap was exceed ingly fuffy, so 1t took four of them to wash and dry him. Afterward he frisked in front of grate fire and Mrs Kingthorne admired herself ex- tremely for finding him.

1882 Pope Gregory XIII. abolished the

Sosigenes, an old mathematician
