Only Two Legs Left.

Carmargo. in Dewey county. Okla.
has dogs-big dogs, little dogs and in
fact all kinds of dogs, but it has one
that is somewhat of an oddity. This
is a dog that travels on two legs.
Several months ago a dog belonging
to Mr.. Storey, section foreman of Sup
ply, Okla, was run over by a train and
two of his legs cut off. For some time
he was unable to around. but
10 has recovered so that he can nav
igate quite handily. The two legs on
which he is forced to walk are both
on one side. He not only walks, but
can also rum, and seems to be about
as we'll able to get around as a dog
with four good legs.

the box Office one Saturday night
when the place was packed and de-
manded a good seat.
Nothing left except standing ROOM"

The wavering one produced a dollar
and went inside. But so many general
admissions were grouped at the rear
that, over the intervening hedge Of
heads he caught only vagrant glimpses
of what went on upon the stage.
He foggily considered the situation
for a spell. Then he rocked his weav.
ing way back to the box Office window
and put a second dollar on the shelf.

Chocolate sweets and. in fact, sweet

From Cairo comes the report that

yea, so greatly are we indebted TO

AMERICAN
SOLDIERS
ARE KILLED

Washington, July 81 - When the
Haitiens resisted the landing of Rear
Admiral Caperton's bluejackets and
the marines Thursday. six of the ma
tives were killed and two wounded in
the lighting. Admiral Caperton made
this report with a forecast of further
revolutionary disturbances on the is
land.
Two American bluejackets were
killed last night in an attack by ma
tives on Port Au Prince, Haiti, held
by Rear Admiral Caperton with 400
men from the cruiser Washington.
The attacking party was beaten off
without having appeared closer than
the outskirts of the town. and order
was maintained in the city itself. No
sailors were wounded, and the losses
Of the attacking forces were not re-
ported. The dead soldiers are William
Gompers, seaman, of Brooklyn, N. Y. !;
Jason Whitehurst, ordinary seaman,
Norfolk, Va. Reinforcements had been
ordered to Haiti before the report of
the fighting had been received. The
battleship Connecticut sailed from
Philadelphia today with 500 marines.

entirely across the state. For 376 miles
along the Northern Pacific we find
that the indications for a prosperous
yield in North Dakota were never bet !.

500, says this OF the situation along
that line: Notwithstanding the un-
usually long continued rains and the
retarding effect upon the corn, crop,

Washington, July 31.-Defnite steps
toward resoration of peace in Mexico
will be taken Immediately upon Presi-

next week. What specific action the
president may have decided on has
not been disclosed. but it was au-

executive departments of the govern
ment were preparing to carry out
promptly the program determined up
on.
Only an unexpected move in Mexico
itself to end the strife. 1t is said, would
delay affirmative action by the Unit
ed States to restore constitutional
government in the war-torn republic.
Armed Intervention is not believed
to be contemplated in the presidents
program Many officials believe no

to yield to the demands OF this gov

WATER
BALLAST
IS POOR

Chicago, July S1.-Capt. Frank A.
Dority, commander of the Eastland
from 1908 to 1906, a witness at the fed
eral inquiry into the disaster, testified
that while he considered the Eastland
safe If she had water in the ballast
tanks properly distributed, in his opin-

of ballast.
Dority testified that about the mid
die of the season OF 1904 the Eastland
careened while crossing the bar out
side of South Haven, Mich, and was
forty minutes late reaching Chicago as
a result.
II deemed that water ballast was
properly distributed when 1t was in
number three tank, which was in the
middle. The water in the tanks shift

ion water is the most dangerous form
