DOGS BARE TWO TRAGEDIES
One Finds Body of Mar Killed by
Train and Other Gets Help for
Child In Flames.

Cincinnati, O.-Two incidents in
which the sagacity of intelligent dogs
was displayed, came to public notice.
DR.. A. Berry, of Oakley, while out
walking was attracted by the action
Of his dog, an intelligent hound, which
showed a desire for him to follow it
to a clu1np of weeds along the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tracks. The doctor
went to the spot and found the body of
a man who had been killed by a train.
Letters found on the body indicate the
dead man was Edward G. Parker Of
Milwaukee.
At the inquest President Alfred Hes
terberg, of the Queen City Brass and
Iron Works, told Coroner Coe how a
pet pup raised such a commotion at
his home that the attention of a maid
was attracted to a room in which his
little daughter was playing. The maid
found four-year-old Lille Hesterberg
in flames. Her clothing had been ig-
nited while she was playing with
matches. The door to the was
closed and the dog could not get out,
but barked frantically until the maid
arrived to save his little mistress. The
child's injuries were so severe that
she died.

Astonished Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells a good story
about the domestic unhappiness Of an
other actor. The hero of the joke was
a man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition OF the
brides financial resources, the hus-
band was eve very attentive to her.
Another member of the company in
which the couple were appearing was.
however, far more app%reciative of the
lady's charms, and proceeded 20 make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
name The grand finale came n
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petrifed with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with a gesture Of
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
"Merciful heavens! And he didn't

Is WORSE THAN ST. HELENA
Tristan d'Acunha Said to Be Loneliest
Place on Earth-lnhabited by Farm
ers and Cattle Raisers.

New York.-When Napoleon was
that the loneliest place on earth had
been assigned to him as a prison, says
Harper's Weekly. But st. Helena is
l,400 miles nearer a continent than is
Tristan d'Acunha. Many hundreds Of
miles of ocean lie between this island
and it's nearest neighbor. Tristan, in
short. is a tiny oasis in a boundless
wilderness of waters, go from it in
which direction you will.
It is a rocky and cliff-girt little isle
with a solitary mountain a thousand
feet high rearing itself from the midst.
Yet on this lonely speck of rock and
earth there lives a community seem
ingly quite happy in it's isolation from
all the rest of the world. They are
farmers, cattle raisers and shepherds.
In the valleys of the island are fertile
fields where potatoes mainly are
grown. The food Of the people con-
sists, for the most part, Of beef, NUT
ton, fowls, potatoes and Ash.
Tristan used formerly to produce
1rany fruits and vegetables which can
no longer be grown there. The reaso
Of this is that the island for a long
time was overrun by rats, which es-
capped from a ship hat anchored there,
and which the people have been un-
able, it is said, ever entirely to exter-
inmate.

AT A MANCHU COURT
Empress DoWager Of China De.
scribed as Unattractive.
She Sees Few People Except on Fes-
tivaI Days, When Princes and Their
Wives Are Entertained at
the Palace.

Picking, China.-The correspondent
of the Manchester Guardian, in an ac-
count of the Manchu court, thus de-
scribes the empires dowager, Lung Yu.
widow of Emperor Kwang Hsu:
Hers is not, as TIE Hsi's was, an
attractive personality. She is a slight
woman between forty-three and forty
seven years of age, ugly according to
Chinese standards, with an unpleas-
antly sallow complexion. She has
none of the verve and sprightliness of
TIE Hsi, but is cold, hard and s%elf-con-
tanned. The person who has most in
t1uence over her is her chief eunuch.
Chang TIE.
I'm TIE Hsi's day Chang TIE was a
mere nobody; today he is exceeding
ly wealthy and has for the last two
years been one of the most influential
men at court. Greatly above h aver
age height, he combines with unusu-
al physical strength a reckless buoy
ancy that has enabled him successful
ly to face many difficult crises. His
influence over the empress dowager is
such that he has been able almost to
isolate her. TIE Hsi had about her
favorite ladies in waiting. Lung Yu
has none."
The dowager empress was then lily
Ing in the Yen Shon Tien. also called
the Winter and the Sea Palace.
Except on festival days the en-
press dowager sees few people. Then
princes, ministers and their wives are
invited to the palace and entertained
with theatr1cals. The theater in h
Sea Palace stands in the middle of h
lake and consists of four summer
houses or p%avilions connected by
bridges. In one Is the stage and OPP
posite it is the pavilion reserved for
the empress dowager and her lady
guests. The p%avilions at the sides are
occupied by princes and ministers.
They are curtained, for men are not
allowed to see the empress dowager.
This rule is strictly kept and thus
there are no state banquets given at
the Manchu court, and lei and wom-

Bring me a steak" James told the
waiter, and that was all the plans or
specifications for the steak that he
furnished. The waiter seemed to un-

special for three"
That's the kind Of a steak that Ollie
James can mastfcate with much glee,
provided there are enough side dishes
to whet his appetite.
Do not get the impression, either,
that the colossal statesman from Ken
lucky is a glutton. The kind of a
steak he eats is no more adequate
food supply for him than a couple OF
lamb chops would be for the average
fiye-foot-ten work-a-day citizens.
A million years or SO from now
scientists with side whiskers will get
hold of the skeleton of Ollie James
and try to learn whether he lived be-
fore or after the mound builders. But
they will never find out.

but there was where John Sharp came
along with q neat little joke. He

~ The Idea OF shooting at a man with

They were having a house party at
the Williams home here, recently, n
some of the young people asked the
senator to cooperate with them in
playing a merry trick on his son. The
plan was to squirt a quantity OF ice
water over the transom on young Will

night. AS father and son were shar-
ing the same bedroom during the
house party, the senator would get to
witness the result of the experiment,

SANG FOR 81 YEARS IN CHOIR
Pennsylvania Soioist Said to Hold
Record for Continuous Service
at Ono Church..

Shippensburg, Pa.-What is prob
ably the worlds record as a public
singer is held by Mrs. George ".
Johnston, who for more than 81 years
has been soloist in the Presbyterian
church here.
AS Abigail Rankin she entered the
Presbyterian choir in 1S49, when she
was twelve years old. The choir was
directed by George Reynolds, and Miss
Rankin was asked to play the cabi-
net organ, the church's sole musical
instrument Accompanying the choir
and herself as %soloist, she played the
organ for several years.
She has travelled a distance of more
than 10000 miles in merely going to
and from her choir rehearsals and
church services. while the actual time
she has spent in a choir seat would
amount to the equivalent of one year
and a halt, or in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 hours, and this does not take
into account bel singing at Sunday
school, prayer meeting Or missionary
society meetings.
Mrs. Johnston's voice is as sweet
and clear today as it was three
years ago. She is a member OF the
local woman's musical club, where
just lately she has sung several solos
written by modern French writer's.
When asked what particular hymn or
especial church musical number she
liked best, Mrs. Johnston said, ooh. l
couldn't tell you! l love them all"
The present director Of the choir
in which Mrs. Johnston sings is Miss
Agnes Mathews, a pupil of the elder
Kullak and at one time accepted as a
pupil by Franz List.
