mi Oh like it, There was no one to
comment on his treachery; had there
been, Pitchoune would not have run
far.
1t was not an ordinary sight to see
on the Sahara small Irish terrier
going as fast as he could
Pitchoune ran with his nose to the
ground. There were several trails for
q dog to follow on that apparently un-
trodden page Of desert history. Which
one would he choose? Without a
scent a dog does nothing. His nos
trils are his instinct. His devotion,
his faithfulness, his intelligence, his
heart-all come through his nose. A
mans heart, they say, is in his stom-
ach-or in his pocket. A dogs is in
his nostrils. If Pitchoune had chosen
the wrong direction, this story would
never have been written Michette
did not give birth to the sixth puppy,
in the stables of the garrison, for
nothing. Nor had Sabron saved him
for nothing
With his nose fiat to the sands Pit
choune smelt to east and to west, to
north and south, took scent to the
east, decided on it-fOr what reason
will never be told-and followed it.
Fatigue and hunger were forgotten
as hour after hour Pitchoune ran
across the Sahara Mercifully, the
sun had been clouded by the pre-
cursor Of a wfndstorm. The air was
almost cool Mercifully, the wind did
not arise until the little terrier had
pursued his course to the end.
There are occasions when an ami
mails intelligence surpasses the hui
man. When, toward evening of the
twelve hours that it had taken him
to reach a certain point, he came to
settlement of mud huts on the bor-
ders of an oasis, he was pretty nearly
at the end of his strength. The oasis
was the only sign of life in five hun
dred miles. There was very little left
in his small body. He lay down, pant

lowered near him. In the religion Of
Tatman dogs alone have souls.
Pitchoune painted and dragged him
self to a pool of water around which
the green palms grew, and he drank
and drank. Then the little desert
wayfarer hid himself in the bushes
and slept till morning. All night he
was racked with convulsive witches,
but he slept and in his dreams he
killed young chicken and ate it. In
the morning he took a bath in the
pool and the sun rose while he swan
in the water.
If Sabron or Miss Redmond could
have seen him he would have seemed
the epitome Of heartless egoism. He
was the epitome of wisdom. Instinct
and wisdom sometimes go closely to-
gether. Solomon was only instinc-
tive when he asked for wisdom. The
epicurean Lucullus, when dying, asked
for certain Nile fish cooked in
wine.
Pitchoune shook out his short
hairy body and came out Of the oasis
pool into the sunlight and trotted into
the Arabian village.

Pitchoune, who might have been
considered as one of the infinitesimal
atoms in the economy of the universe,
ran over the sands away from his
master. He was an infnitesimal dot
on the deserts face. He was only a
small Irish terrier in the heart of the
Sahara. His little wiry body and his
color seemed to blend with the dust.
His eyes we're dimmed by hunger and
thirst and exhaustion, but there was

The third annual picnic of the West
ern Illinois Retail SLumber Dealers
club was held yesterday at Wild Cat
Springs, Hamilton. Early in the morn
ing the weather conditions looked
favorable for very fine day and this
condition together with the excellent
arrangements for entertainment OF
guests made the picnic the greatest
success possible. The visitors began
to arrive at an early hour and by 10
O'Clock a throng Of about $50 people
had gathered. After the address Of
welcome by Mayor c. T. Daugherty,
a splendid program, consisting of the
following was rendered:
Song. Girls Quartet-Misses Yeast.
Hosford. Elder and Crowder: accom-
PIANIST, Miss Yeast.
Reading-Miss Lucy Kiser.
Piano solo-Miss Fay Cuerdon.
Reading-Miss Goldie Brant.
Song-W. H. Harkrader, accom-
panied by band.
Song-Prather Trio.
Immediately after the program, a
splendid dinner was served in the din
ing hall by the Ladies Aid society of
Bethel church and, judging by the
comment on same it was one Of the
best picnic dinners ever served. The
afternoon was spent in watching a
ball game between retailers and the
travelling men and much to the sorrow
of the retail lumbermen-the travel
ing men took the honors. For those
who did not care to witness a ball
game, launch ride was given. About
seventy-five people enjoyed very
pleasant ride on Lake Cooper in Mr..
Decker's, of Keokuk, launch. At a
late hour the people began to leave
and everyone present considered the
picnic the greatest possible success.
One notable feature of the entire pic
mic was the manner in which the
people were transported to and from
the grounds as at no time during the
day was any delay encountered

JUDGE WADE'S OPINION IN
PHONE CASE, AGAINST CITY

whether the city has the power to tx
maximum rates.
The question of the right to use the
streets was first brought up in the
case of Chamberlain VS.. the City Of
Des Moines. the facts in this case,
concerning the right OF the company 10
occupy the streets, are similar to the
facts under which the complainant
occupies the streets in the city Of
Keokuk. Public highways has been
construed to mean streets, by the
supreme court.
The court suggests that neither a
telephone or a telegraph company
would be worth anything unless 1t has
permission to enter towns and cities,
and that It is hardly conceivable
that the legislature would enact any
law which would bar the construction
.of telephone and telegraph wires.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1915-06-23
Would BIO Unconstitutional.

the company is forced to secure a
franchise it follows that 1t has no
rights on the streets. Unless 1t Sc
cures a franchise, which right would
be optional with the citizens, its prop
erty could then be held to be worth
less. Prior to 1897 the rights Of the
company were valuable. If they are
now held worthless 1t may be con-
strued that such action would be
against the provisions of the constitu-
! tion *
The fact that Keokuk Is a special
charter city does not alter the case In
the eyes Of Judge Wade. There is
nothing in the charter or In author
titles which would justify the belief
that it is the intention of the legisaa-
iture to give special charter cities ex-
tensive powers. There is difference
between sovereignty power and police
power. The regulation Of such utilities
lis police power but the granting of
franchises and privileges is said to be
the exercising of sovereignty power
which can only be granted by state
or municipality by express authority
| of the state.
| When the city became a. commission
plan city, it had the right to make
ce1t ain grants but did not have the
Ipower to deprive the company OF
rights acquired by previous leSisla-
ition and legislature did not give such
power, the court believes.
Need Express Power.
In the matter Of fixing rates, the
court holds, in the opinion, that no.
where is the express power granted
Ito cities to fix or regulate rates for
telephones or telegraph lines. The
city is given the right to regulate.
igas, electric and other certain specf-
fled utilities. But no power Is dele
gated for regulation OF telegraph OF
telephone rates. s
This fact that the legislature spect-
ideally confers powers relative to some
utilities and limits them as to tele-
phones, leads the court to believe that
| the legislature did not intend to con-
fer such powers on the city.
(. The court then orders the over
! ruling of the objection to Judge
Sloan's decisions.
Patent Case Decision.
An opinion was also handed down
| in the case of Charles A. Besser VS..
the Merrillat Culvert Core Co. The
court finds in favor of the Merrilla-
Culvert Core Co. This was the equity
case in which Besser claimed that
there was an infringement Of the pat
emit rights in the making of q patent
culvert core, which could be enlarged
| or made smaller with device much
like the opening and closing OF an
umbrella. ;
This opinion is rather lengthy ono,
in which the court holds that there
has not been an Infringement

Two Questions in Case.

Judge Wade says in his opinion that
since 1882 the telephone company
has been using the streets OF Keokuk
In August, 1913, an ordinance was
passed by the city of Keokuk fixing
the maximum rate for charges and also
Edecreeing that the company must
have a charter to continue. The com.
plainant, the Iowa Telephone company
brought an action to test the ordin.
lance. The master held the ordinance
invalid.
| Judge Wade in his opinion said that
the case assumed two questions. one
was whether the city had the power 10
prohibit the company from continuing
without franchise, and secon l,
