all day long. The dogs knowledge did not comprehend the fact that not only had the native village, of which his master spoke in his letter to Miss Red mond, been destroyed, but that Sab ron's regiment itself was menaced by a concerted and concentrated attack from an entire tribe, led by a fanatic as hotminded and as fierce as the Mahdi of Sudanese history.
 Pitchoune followed at the heels of his masters horse. No one paid any attention to him. Heaven knows why he was not trampled to death, but he was not. No one trod on him; no horses hoof hit his little wiry form that managed in the midst of carnage and death to keep itself secure and his hide whole. He smelt the gunpowder, he smelt the smoke, sniffed at it, threw up his pretty head and parked puffed and panted, yeIped and tore about and followed. He was not con- scious of anything but that Sabron was in motion; that Sabron, his be- loved master, was in action of some kind or other and he, soldiers dog, was in action, too. He howled at fierce dark faces, when he saw them. He snarled at the bullets that whis- tied around his ears and, laying his little ears back. he shook his black muzzle in the very grin of death.
 Sabron's horse was shot under him, and then Pitchoune saw his master, sprang upon him, and his feelings were not hurt that no attention was paid him, that not even his name was called, and as Sabron struggled on, Pitchoune followed. It was his day; he was fighting the natives; he was part of battle; he was a soldiers dog! Little by little the creatures and things around him grew fewer. the smoke cleared and rolled away, there were a few feet of freedom around him h which he stood and

CHAPTER XIII.
One Doq's Day,

There must be real philosophy in all proverbs. Every dog has his day is a significant one. It surely was for Pitchoune. He had his day. It was a glorious one, a terrible one. a memor- able one, and he played his little part in it. He awoke at the gray dawn, springing like flash from the foot of Sabron's bed, where he lay asleep. in response to the sound of the reveille, and Sabron sprang up after him.
 Pitchoune in few moments was in the center of real disorder All he knew was that he followed his master

IincoIn,s Fees.

AS a rule. Abraham Lincoln's fees
were less than those of other lawyers
of his circuit. Justice Davis once re-
monstrated with him and insisted that
he was doing a grave injustice to his
associates at the bar by charging 50
little for his services. From 1850 to
1860 his income varied from $1,000 to
5000, and even when he was recog-
nized as one of the ablest lawyers of
the state his fee book frequently shows
charges of So, 50 and 81 for advice, al
though he never went into court for
less than SO. During that period he
was at the height of his power and
popularity, and lawyers of less stand
ing and talent charged several times
those amounts.-"The True Abraham

The expression Ito give cup of COT

For a week they were royalty enter

he was coldly received, and an attend

fered to the guest. The latter could
not fail to understand that he was
doomed. Preferring, however, steel to
poison, he declined the cup and was
thereupon. at signal from his host,
stabbed to death.

Feared Premature Burial.

The doctor who left instructions that
a bell watch should be fixed to his
wrist after death as a precaution
against premature burial may have
heard of the similar safeguards pre-
scribed by Meyerbeer. Two men were
to watch over him night and day for
five days. he directed, and bells were
to be hung from his hands and feet to
give warning of the slightest move
ment. Finally. missions were to be
made in his throat.
Harriet Martineau also had fear of
burial alive and left directions for heI
body to be decapitated. while Lady
Burton stipulated for a post mortem
examination of her remains. Which,
we may ask, is greater, the fear of
death or the fear of life?-LondOn

Some years ago an American busi
ness man, wishing to get freight
through a Russian port, approached the
government agent with a request for
expedition. He was told delivery might
be made in some weeks. The Amer
lean protested that he must have those
goods Immediately.
Have a cigar" said the Russian Off

lean and leaving the room. The Amer
lean opened the box, found it empty
and dropped in fifty rubles. The Rus
sian came back. looked at the box,
pushed it toward the visitor and, as
he again left the room, remarked,
Have another cigar"
The American dropped fifty more ru.

returned, looked at the cigar box and
politely remarked, 'Your goods viii be

COUNTY FIELD AGENT
DOING GOOD WORK

AS one interested in number of
properties taxes for the running
expenses of the county was natural
ly interested in the action of the
County Board, authorizing the en-
plOyment of County. Field Agent for
our county.
Following the work of Mr..
Humphry, the agent, very closely,
came to the conclusion that much
good can, and actually was done, and
that the money spent by the county
for that purpose is a good invest
ment.
Unfortunately the season was an off
one for corn, otherwise we would have
had a bumper crop. Both Messrs.
Humphry and Burg put in large part
Of their time in the early summer to
assist the boys in corn growing.
We must all admit that the Mara
thOn county farmer is by nature very
conservative, so that the work of a

show what can be done. Under
such conditions a man necessarily
works under a handicap, and the
amount of work accomplished is not
as large as if he got the cheerful
support Of every farmer from the
very start Nevertheless the work
done during the five months was of
such a nature that it can be added to
at all times. My observation leads
me 10 believe that Mr.. Humphrey
was concerned more about doing well
what he was doing rather than to see
how much ground he could cover.
Work along those lines is more
satisfactory. The county is large
enough to keep two men busy, which
we should do if we intend to make
Marathon county foremost in agricul-
ture. TAXPAYER.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
'fiddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people. but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman is to construct,
and that ii is better for a man that he
should build public highway than
that he should hccome Governor of a
state, and that Ae start a pillow than
that he become 3he author of a law.
The true test of, craftsmanship is the
pillow end the hammer, so let those
