It is a wonder to U9 that some one
who has the means does not build a mini
ber of good cottages in the city, as there
is a demand for such dwelling houses.
Two men were in the city vesterdav
looking for houses to rent. They said
they could not find a desirable house:
to rent in town. We think it would pay
tome one 01 means to erect a lew nice
cottages
Ijf tho dispute between Manitoba and
tho Dominion Government the plucky
littlo province triumphed. Manitoba
may build its projecti-d road to the Unit
ed States line at any time it desires, with
out any opposition from the central
authorities. This is a bir blew to the
power and pretensions of tlm Canadian
Pacific Railroad. To placate this road
the Dominion cives it $12,000,000 and
grants it some privileges not hitherto ex
tended to it. ror the time beiujr all is
serene on our norm ei 11 irouticr. xne
granting of this concessien to Manitoba,
however, may lead tha government into
a rnaza of trouble. Other provinces,
notably Xova Scotia and Quebec, hr.vr
grievances which they have been nursing
for years past, anJ the succhs of the:r
istcr province may embolden them to
Mess their claims. The result will
probably be a growth throughout Canada
in the sentiment in favor of annexation
to the United States. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
CHURCH OF SELF-SACRIFICE.
The most beautiful church I ever saw
or ever expect to see, until I worship in
the "house not made with hands" is
nat full grown church; it is only a
chapel a small, low building, put up at
the expeuse of about a thousand dollars.
It is beautiful, because the cellar-wall is
a free-wili offering, from poor farmers
who had a right to claim a winter's rest
after the buy harvest season; because

We notice tlie democratic papers are
all saying Judge Thurman would ho
jiut the man for Chief Justice, if it were
not for lii.3 advanced age, but they care
ful! v omit all references to the fact that
he recently mado one of the most vigo
ro'is speeches of his life in the prosccu
tion of the Ohio tally-sheet forgeis.
To ehow how W. W. Corcoran's known
benevolence subjected him to all kinda of
impudent begging letters. There waa
ono which ho received with his large
mail ono morning, which made him
laugh, and he showed it. The writer
said bhe was a young girl who had never
had a silk dress, and that sho Lad heard
of his kindness and generosity, and she
would be so happy if he would send her
a bluo silk dress. He had it bought and
6cnt, although he felt tho impudence of
tlie request, yet ho could cot resist the
pleasure of imagining tho girl's delight
in owning and wearing a bluo silk dress.
A. C. Hobba, of Bridgeport, a well
known Connecticut horseman, used to be
bf-ttcr known as tho "Yankee Lock
Picker." ll picked tho famous Eramah
lock at the World's Fair in Iondon in
1833 in tho presence of the queen and the
Duko of Wellington. Braraah had of
fered 200 guineas to any one who would
pick his lock. The samo year Mr. Hobbs
opened a French lock in London in five
minute3 and set it to a combination that
baffled tho maker himself. The improve
ments in locks in lato years, particularly
in this country, have revolutionized safe
making and produced locks which even
the Yankee lock picker can't pick.
Senor Canovas, the Spanish statesman,
is short, awkwardly built, ugly featured,
s-juinta violently, and is popularly known
in Madridene society as "the monster."
Moreover, he is exceedingly passionate,
strong tempered, and sarcastic, and makes
no pretense of disguising his unmitigated
contempt for men whom, no matter what
their rank may be, he treats as inferiors.
In a land whero all are eloquent, his ora
tory stands forth pre-eminent, and as his
torian, author, litterateur and critic, he is
without a rival in Spain. Although ho
lias frequently died the office of prime
minister, yet he remains a comparatively
poor man.
It i3 related of tha late "Tom" Potter,
the railroad magnate, that during tho
war, as sergeant of a cavalry company,
he was detailed to take a prisoner from
tha camp to Fort Leavenworth, and in
company with a private started with his
charge. There were only two horses to
tho three men, and on reaching a swollen
river it was something of a problem just
how to get across with the prisoner.
Finally the private plunged in on one of
tho horses, tho prisoner holding on to its
tail, and Potter on the horse in the rear.
"You see," he" said, "I commanded the
tituation. If the fellow let go I could
have shot him as he went down stream."

A CASTAWAY DOG.
LUCK
OF
IN
A CUR WHILE DRIFTING
LAKE MICHIGAN.
Tender-IIeartedness of Chicago Ileal
Estate Man Afloat on an Ico Cake.
IteHCued bjr Tug An L'cfortunate
Predicament.
"Come, Towser, my boy, and toll lue how
you feel," and Mr. Gross snapped his Augers
at a shaggy dog of the Russian setter variety
that was blinking owlishly before 11 grate
Ore. The dog jumped to his feet, ran up to
the gentleman, and laid his head on his lap
with a plaintive whine. Then he raised his
big brown eyes and 'looked into Mr. Gross'
face and placed one paw on his shoulder and
the ether on his knee. "I'm blessed if I don't
think a dog is nearly human, after all," ex
claimed Mr. Gross, throwing his head buck a
triilo to escape the affectionate attentions of
tho brute. "Towser has acted this way ever
since I Rot hirn oil thut cake of ice in the
lake. I'm glad he can't talk, for ho is so
grateful that I know ho'd boro me wiih his
expressions of gratitude; but he is evidently
sorry that he is dumb, and is trying to make
up for tho shortcoming by caressing me."
Tho dog did not remove his brown eyes from
those of his master once during the littlo
speech, but at tho conclusion of it ho straight
ened out his ears and gave vent to a biiurt
bark as if he understood every word.
Towser is tho castaway that was afloat on
a cake of ice half a mile from shore ono win
try forenoon when S. E. Gross, tho real
estate man, was making his elaily observation
of tho lake through a pair of marine glasses.
Tho dog was seated on his haunehes, and his
eyes were fastened on tho receding sboro in a
helpless fashion. Mr. Gross took a long look
at him to satisfy himself that ho was not
dead, and then he called his hostlt-r and or
dered him to get a boat and go to the rescue
of tho castaway.
"Bring the boat up here, John, and I'll go
with you," said the real estate man. "We
must do something for that poor creature, er
it will perish in ,his storm before long if
somebody does not go after it."
Mi. Gross put on his coat and hat and went
outside to take a closer observation of the
dog, aud found at least 100 other persons on
the shoro driveway intently watching tho
object of his solicitations. Some of them
joined the hostler in his search for a boat,
and others gathered around Mr. Gros3 to
discuss the dog's chances of staying on the
cake of ice, but none of them seemed to cure
particularly whether tho castaway was
swept safely through the grinding, pitching
ice or went to tho bottom. Presently the
hostler came back all out of breath from run
ning, with the information that there was
not a boat to be found any whero on the
shore.
"But we've got to save that dog," declared
Mr. Gross,
"Well, there ain't no boat hero," was the
answer of the man.
"liut there s a tugboat in tho river," wa3
the quick retort, and the next instant the real
estate man was hurrying toward hU stable.
The hostler trotted close behind him and tho
crowd simply stared. It took Mr. Gross, and
his man just five nimutes to hitch his fastest
horse to his lightest buggy and perhaps an
other minute-more to swing out on the drive
and start south at a terrific clip. "When tho
horse reached the Chicago Tug company's
office he was panting and steaming, but Mr,
Gross did not stop to attend to him. He ran
up to Mana&r Crawford's ofiice and de
manded that a tug be placed at his disposal
at once.
"Where do you want to goF' the tugman
asked.
"Out in the lake," was the reply.
"It will cost you $20."
"Hear's your money," and tho real estato
man threw a glittering gold eagle down on
the manager's desk. He was sent aboard of
the tug Hackley, which happened to be lying
near the office, and within twenty minutes
after he left his bouse he was plowing through
tho muddy river. A stop was mado at the
lifo saving station to take aboard a small
boat and then the tug was headed out into the
snow covered ice fields, which were grinding
and roaring like a cataract under the influ
ence of the wind and sea. The run through
the ice was a series of collisions with big
ragged cakes, and as the boat was going wide
open it seemed as if her timbers would
be crushed in. Instead, however, her
iron stem shattered the cakes and
sent the remnants flying in every direction.
They hove in sight of the dog at last. Ho
was seated bolt upright in the center of a
cake about six feet square, that was widely
separated from the main body of ice, and so
far as the watchers aboard of tho tug could
discover to tho contrary through a pair of
marine glasses, he was dead. As they ap
proached nearer, however, tho fireman de
clared that he could see his ears wagging,
and Mr. Gross afterward confirmed this re
port and volunteered the additional informa
tion that he was sure the dog had winked
twice.
"Come, old doggy," said the captain, ex
tending his arm toward the castaway in a
reassuring way, while the fireman ' busied
himself to find a spot to fix bis boat hook.
Contrary to his expectations, the dog did not
move when the captain spoke, but merely
turned his brown eyes around in a helpless
fashion.
"What's the matter with him V the fire
man asked. "Well, I'll be hanged if his tail
ain't frozen in the ice!" was the engineer's
answer after a long observation from the
midship thwart.
The fireman was equal to the emergency.
Releasing his boat hook, he sprang upon the
cako of ice with it, cautiously made his way
over to the dog, and dug the imprisoned tail
out of its cold bed. The moment he was free
the dog leaped into the boat and the fireman
followed him and then the rescuers and
rescued started for the tug. As soon as the
dog got aboard he slunk around to the engine
room and curled up on the engineer's seat,
paying no attention whatever to the joyful
antics of his rescuers. Ho was too nearly
frozen to do anything else, and the crew bad
too much sympathy for him to to disturb his
warm rest. After the tug landed at Wells
street the dog was wrapped up in a blanket
and canned ashore by Mr. Gross' man, and
then a cab was summoned and the two got
into it and were taken to Mr. Gross' homo,
on Division street. He -is not a handsome
dog, nor does he belong to any valuable
breed, but Mr. Gross is satisfied from what
ho has seen of him that he got him dirt cheap.
Tm satisfied with my bargain if Towser
is," he said. "He's so gratified, you ki V,
that it's a pleasure to get near him. Iiof ,id
I come to take so much trouble to keep him
from drowning or freezing? Well, I couldn't j
see either fate befall him while there was a
chance to save him. No, sir, it's not my
nature. When I couldn't get a boat on the
beach I just hired a tug, but I think it's the
best money I ever spent. Don't youf"
