DOG FED TRAPPED FRIEND
Massachusetts Farm Agent Tells Re-
markabIe and Touching Story OF
Canine Affection.

In the Telegram, Worcester, Mass.
John E. Dearth, field agent Of Worces-
ter county farm bureau, tells this
story of the intelligence. sympathy, at
lection and clever understanding on
the part of a dog, which came under
his observation in a recent visit to
Princeton:
A Princeton man who is fond Of
horses and dogs owns a finely bred
hunting dog and he missed it for sew
eral days. He made inquiries all
around, but no one had seen anything
Of the animal, and after week the
owner gave it up as lost. One Of tho
farm hands was rambling through
chopped off wood lot a few days later
and came upon the dog caught In
steel strap set for a skunk. Both fore
paws were held In the jaws of the
trap and the dog could not escape.
But in spite Of its terrible predica-
though in pain had not gnawed its
forelegs as many animals will do when
they are in the torture of steel trap
Strangest of all, scattered all around
were bones and scraps of meat. Sew
eral hen bones and beef bones, with
shreds of meat still clinging, were an
der the captive's nose, and it was
chewing a bone when the farmer dts
covered it's plight.
The trapped dog was carried home
in the arms of the man who found 1T,
and then, little later, the owner went
to the trap to see who or what brought
those bones and scraps Of dog
food to the suffering captive. While
he stood silently regarding the LITTLE
heap of bones and scraps, another dog
from his own kennels came through
the brush with its jaws filled with
chicken bones, meat trimmings and
other gleanings from the kitchen gar
bage pail. The dog dropped its load

BATTLED OVER PIPE ORGAN
It's Introduction Into Scottish Church,
for Which James Watt Was Re-
sponsibIe, Made Trouble.

The current appreciations of James
Watt. inventor Of the steam engine,
have not, so far as we have seen, called
forth any protest from the Wee Frees.
Yet Watt was responsible for the
first pipe organ built in Scotland, and
round it ragged one of the fiercest con-
troversies in the history Of the move
ment against instrumental music in
the Scottish church.
The story of the organ itself was
told fully when the instrument was
given year ago to the Glasgow cor
poration. 1t was built by Watt in his
house in High street in 1862, and in
1907 found it's way into st. Andrews
church, Glasgow. On hearing that the
organ was to be played during divine
service, the lord provost of the day
wrote to DR.. Richie, minister of the
church, and an enthusiastic fiddler,
"begging to know of him if such was
really the case" and adding that, If
so, he would consider it his duty to
enter solemn protest against him
and the congregation for all damages
Richie was also reid personally re-
sponsible for "any breach of the peace
which might possibly be occasioned by
the innovation he had attempted to
introduce"
After being used for one Sunday,
the organ was closed by command of
the Presbytery; and then the floods
of controversy We're let loose. The
friends of music" We're forcible, if not
very polite, in a series of pamphlets.
Both sides, of course, quoted Scripture
freely; and in Presbytery minute the
writer of the prO-organ pamphlets was
convicted of "culpable inaccuracy and
a scandalous violation of the truth"
History, so far as we know, does not
record what Watt thought of 1t all.

Empires That Have Fallen.

Six empires have disappeared within
the memory of living men, remarks a
writer In the Brooklyn Eagle. Nearly
SO0,OOO,000 people, close to one-haf
the worlds population, have been re-
leased from the shaclleS of imperial
ism since 1871. History has no paral-
lei for such changes. In the retro
spect of history so years are but a
flash in the march of the ages and yet
since 1871 the doctrine of republican,
ism has been embraced by half the
world. Not all the preceding 1000
years of mankinds march toward lib
erty records such progress.
Six emperors have laid down crown
and scepter since Theodore Roosevelt
became the exponent of the strenuous
life. Three have died. one was MUIR
dered, the other two are in exile, while
of the three still living, only one, the
boy emperor of China, is still enjoying
the luxuries that sweeten life for those
in high places. 1t was Napoleon Ill
who led this debacle Of Imperialism,
Dom Pedro Of Brazil was next and the
last of the Manchu dynasty followed.
The crash of the three remaining Eu-
ropean empires. Russia, Austria-Hun-
gary and Germany, resulted from the
war for democracy. When it comes to
mere kings, memory cannot recall
them all, for they have tumbled ev"
erywhere from Hawaii to Portugal.
from Saxony to Bulgaria.
