poo Hero Save. LlttIe Girl.

Little Elsie Perry. daughter of C. l..
Perry of Wilson. N. c., was saved
from the fangs of rabid dog by the
bravery of a nondescript dog. the
property of Mr.. Perry, and the con-
stant playmate of little Elsie.
While playing in front of her home
the little girl was attacked by large
dog. which came running down the
street. Her playmate, much smaller
than the attacking dog. threw himself
on it, and battled grimly, until the
little girl escaped into the house. The
canine hero was terribly bitten in the
encounter. and when 1t was learned
that the strange dog had rabies the
hero had to be shot, as physicians
said it was certain he would go mad.
He was buried with the highest hon
ors.

DREDGEs USED BY FISHERMEN

Treasures Of the Depths to

There are two styles of dredges by
means OF which the anims Is and fish OF
the great depths are captured-the
nets which are dragEi !, over the bot
tom and those trawled Just below the
surface. says Popular Mechanics. The
bottom dredge consists OF a pair of
heavy iron running flames connected
by one or two cross-bars, II feet in
length. Fastened to this frame is a
cone.shaped bag 80 feet long. made of
heavy web the end Of which is closed
by a lashing. The dredge is hung
over the starboard side Gf the ship on
a long boom and by means Of steel
cable is slowly lowered to the ocean
bottom. A dial indicates the number
of feet of wire out. and pointer on
a scale shows the strain. which often
amounts to FIVE or six tons, upon the
cable. When the dredge has reached
the bottom the ship steams ahead at
about two-thirds of a mile an hour.

1t remains down for an hour or SO, and

Leinster knew that when Becky
spoke thus she was inspired, and he
trusted her. When the men arrived
he had withdrawn from the room and
Becky was typing furiously by the
light of the few candles.

That night after it was all over and
Leinster had the papers IN his posses

and give him chance. Becky went
home to dream of the interest that
would accrue on five thousand dollars.
The following noon, when she ar
rived at Leinster's apartment Office,
she was impatient to hear his plans.

This happened Ave years ago. Since
that time John Leinster has become
one OF the most prominent men in. the
advertising world. He is advertising

manufacturing plants around New

wide repute. But Becky, little red

One night when Becky arrived at

Becky had planned to go to the
opera, second gallery, that night with
her fiance, but it was easy to explain.
His mentality was of the variety that
would be convinced by the mention of
five thousand dollar contract even
though there was nothing in 1t for him.
When Becky got back from her

Classic Toothache.

Toothache was not an Incident Of
campaigning with which ancient
armies had to reckon. The silence of
the classics certainly seems to indi-
cate that the Greeks and Romans suf-
fered very little from their teeth.
Words for toothache and for teeth
extracting instruments can, indeed, be
found in the Greek and Latin diction-
aries. but the authors quoted for them
are generally late and always unin-
teresting. We can hardly believe
that, II toothache had been common
in Athens, Aristophanes would have
made no Jokes about it. But classi-
cal scholar may pretty safely be defied
to cite single Greek or Latin pas
sage about 1t. Even Lucretius, when
he gets on to the subject of teeth In

age for a naturalist to watch the
dredge come to the surface bringing
unknown treasures from the hidden

carry incandescent lamps far in front
of them to light their way In the inky
blackness miles below the surface;
others with phosphorescent spots along
their sides which must glow like the
portfolios Of steamer At night; still
others with their eyes upon long
stalks or with no eyes at all. And,
poor things, when released from the
terrible pressure to which they have
become accustomed, their eyes often
pop from their heads and their
