Kindly
Intentions

The first time Holpeter saw the dog
he walked on rapidly and tried to
think of something else. Memories of
past benevolences in the canine lines
and their resultant troubles prompted
him to adopt this course. All his life
Holpeter had been seeing homeless
dogs, and even he had reached the
point where he realized that it was
not always we'll to have too acute
vision.
Further, this particular dog was not
at all the sort of dog a sane person
would care to see. 1t might have been
almost anything in the line of dog ex-
cept a Mexican hairless, because it
was so grimy and matted that it's or
iginal style of architecture and decora-
ton was quite obliterated. But Hol,
peter had caught a glance from its
eye that struck in. He turned up his
fur collar and dug his hands farther
into his pockets and strobe on, frown-
ing.
Il came near bringing dog home"
Holpeter told his wife at dinner that
night.
my goodness" cried she. 81 should
think you'd have more sense!"
o, "Oh, 1 was just joking" Holpeter
made haste to say. I'VE can't have
a dog in fat

The next morning as he he walked
down the street Holpeter saw the dog
again, shivering in the mouth of an
alley, tail between legs.
Good boy!" Holpeter said reckless
ly and snapped his fingers.
The dog put forward one shivering
paw and then hudded back. 1t was
too cold evidently to risk the effort
which might end in rebuff
That noon in the midst of his hot
lunch Holpeter choked. Bet it hasn't
had a square meal for weeks!" he
growled.
"Huh?" said the man who was talk
ing to him.
Nothing at ALL" Holpeter snapped.
The next morning in his pocket re-
posed a neat little packet of meat and
bones and Holpeter was terribly con-
cerned when the dog was not at the
usual alley. He found the beast a
block away, however, and gave him
the food. He stood watching it eat
and was run into by six men inside
of minute.
Say, Holpeter broke out to his
wife that evening, he'd be fine lit
tie fellow if he had bath and was
fed up"
Mrs. Holpeter, with wifely intuition,
jumped the conversational gap and
guessed right the first time. Henry"
she said, Il wish you'd get that dog
out of your mind! Do you remember
the collie you brought home which
ate up your aunt's new sealskin and
lost you a legacy?"
We'll, there are no more legacies
to lose" said her husband cheerfully.
"And if you could see his pathetic
eyes!"
Holpeter each morning began to get
anxious when he was a block away
from the alley frequented by the dog.
If he failed to see it he hung around
to wait for it. His efforts to furth-
er his acquaintance with the little
beast went for naught. The dog had
stood SO much abuse that it's suspi-
cions were deep.
Flnally on day which was so cold
that ice cream would have tasted like
hot drink Holpeter threw caution to
the winds.
IT'S a shame" he said, ITO think of
that nice little dog freezing to death
and starving and nobody willing to put
out helping hand! I'm going to take
him home and fix him up!'

Fired by this virtuous resolve, Hol-
peter left work an hour earlier than
usual that afternoon to search for the
friendless pup. When he saw it
and whistled it edged away
Poor chap" Holpeter said ut
doesn't know I'm his friend!"
The dog ran across the street and
Holpeter followed, narrowly escaping
the wheels of an automobile and fol
lowed by the lavish remarks of it's
chauffeur. Once on the sidewalk the dog
started to run and Holpeter broke in
to a gallop. The woman whose hand
bag he carried away on a coatsleeve
button in his haste protested so vocif-
erously that Holpeter, quite uncon-
sclous of his crime, was forced to
stop because of the crowd that ha-
raised him.
Everybody told the policeman that
Holpeter was trying his best to get
away because they saw him lodging
and running! 1t was an exceedingly
cold evening and the policeman was
not in pleasant frame of mind.
Holpeter got home at II o'clock that
night and told his imprisoned story
to his wife.
Well she said when he had ended
his narrowing tale, what became of
the dog?"
Dog" roared Holpeter "If he has
any sense he's running yeti"

Candidates For Congressional
Nomination Engaged in
Joint Debate.

The Lancaster Record says: Judge
j. A. Sullivan was billed TO address the
Democratic voters of the county on last
afternoon and invited Hon Harvey
Helm to meet him, and Mr.. Helm was
present and followed Judge Sullivan in
an hours talk. Judge Sullivan spoke
for an hour and in a very informal man
ner, informed the audience Of the claims
which he had upon the Democracy OF
the district, and the claim he had to the
Democratic nomination for Congress.
He said that ever since he became
voter, he had labored increasingly in the
cause of Democracy, and without ever
having asked reward, that he had serv-
ed as a member Of the State Central
Com mittee and was at present the chair
man OF the County Committee OF Madi-
son county: that he, at the request of
Gov. McCreary and other party leaders.
drafted the platform upon which the
Democratic party recently won such an
overwhelming victory and that he acted
as adviser on all legal subjects TO the
recent Kentucky Legislature. and that
he advised the passage OF the primary
election law. Judge Sullivan attacked
Mr.. Helms record in Congress, claim
ing that Mr.. Helm was practically I'M
known and unrecognized in that august
body, and that he took credit for the
acts OF Speaker Champ Clark and other
celebrated members Of Congress. who
have done things. but that Mr.. Helm
failed to cite 8 single instance where be
had rendered any service OF benefit to
his constituency. He said that il the
Eighth District would honor him by
sending him to Congress, that he would
come back. and Il be asked for second
term, would rely upon his own record.
would tell the people what HE. had
done. and not endeavor 70 succeed him
self by the grace Of services rendered BY
his colleagues Mr. Sullivan further
stated that Mr.. Helm had promised In
the presence Of witnesses that II he be
not opposed for 3 second term that he
wonld not again be candidate for Con-
gress. and that he was now disragsrding
that promise made and accepted in good
faith"

greater number found have a white

shades Of buff. In some cases the
markings are spots, shown in blotches
or lines.
II is said that no living aux has been
seen since 1874. The birds were ex-
terminated by the ruthless traffic in
their eggs and skins, although their
numbers. especially on the Newfound-
land and Labrador coasts, where once
they were very numerous, were great
ly reduced by their Wholesale slaught-
er for food.
The most remarkable characteristic
of the great aux was it inability to fly.
Its wings were scarcely more than
fins. which aided the bird in swim

Information About Chautal
qua For The People.

Already people are arousing to the
opportunity offered by the coming chau-
tauqua and many questions are being
asked relative TO tickets accommOda-
tions, concessions, etc. As to the tic
kets there are several kinds:
l. Adult Season Ticket admitting
owner to any or all the sessions of the
eight days for $500 Must be signe d by
owner and cannot be used by anyone ex-
cept the immediate family, fat her,
mother and adult children. Un,sles.
aunts, cousins or servants excluded.
2. Child's Season Ticket admits chill
dren between age Of six and fourteen to
any or all sessions Of the eight days for
Sl.OO. Children who take part in Boy
Scouts work or work for girls must each
own season ticket. if between ages Of
six or fourteen or a $500 ticket if over
that age.
3. Merchants Advertising Ticket has
seven coupons and is transferable, good
on presentation to any seven of the ses-
sessions Of the assembly, $500. The
single admissions vary and are as fol-
lows:
l. Admission to any morning % cents
2. Admissions TO Judge Blair, John
3. Ratio, Mary Agnes Doyle, Tahan,
Reno. and Plum-Stead, and all three
and Fourth July sessions, % cents.
3. Admission to Dixon, HOch, Kavan-
agh and Opie Read. 30 cents.
4. Admission to Cannon. DeBrun
Grand Opera and Kryls Band leach con-
cert 80 cents.
Adding these up. it will become evil
dent what great advantage there is in
securing a season ticket. II anyone
went to all the entertainments of the
eight days and paid single admission to
each, he would pay total Of So. 80. And
yet two dollar season ticket admits to
all. Another thing, if you want sea-
son ticket at $500, you must buy it of
the local people before June 10Th. After
that the season ticket will be sold for
81 90. This is absolute and there will
be no exceptions.

here. 1t is to be permanent, if Rich i
mond responds as it can and ought. No.

offered our city and we appeal to all cur
to get behind this mover .ent
and make il a success. You can't afford

sented. but don't wait and pay 80 cents

Doubtful Success.

Much excitement was caused a few
weeks ago in Calcutta by a particular
ly insanitary and evil-smelling tank
suddenly changing TO a perfumed one,
giving of the refreshing smell Of
lemon.
To the natives this portended the
coming of a great Indian goddess, who
would arise out of the water; so the
pilgrims gathered in thousands to
have their sins washed away and dis
eases cured. A guileless youth also
had been selling this holy water at
five rupees per bottle, which is equal
to IS. Sd
But soon afterward it was discov-
cred that a large consignment of es-
sential oils, belonging to a firm Of
perfumers close by, had got smashed.
and afterward leaked into the tank.
The natives now feel rather uncom-
Portable at the thought Of having
drunk the dirty water. It is to be
hoped that they will know the smell
Of holy water next time they meet
near a perfumer's work.-Answers.
