TRIBUTE TO A BULL DOO.
He Was Disfigured with Scars, But a
Faithful Brute.
I would vory much like to add a
few remarks upon tho lovellnesB of
that horrid bulldos, says n writer In
tho New York Times. My dog wna a
yellow and white coated animal, with
tho wot, pink mouth, with llttlo black
spots upon tho pink. Ho was tho
most faithful brulto 1 over know;
ugly as could bo to his own kind;
was disfigured with acara from fierce
battles. To mo he was a gentleman.
Ho had tho misfortune to have ono of
OI
his toes nearly severed from ono of
Ills nlnd paws from coming too cioso
to a mowing machine. I covered It
with an ointment and sowed tho paw
up In nn old kid glove. Every other
day I would remove tho Imndago and
placo tho foot In a dish of warm bi
carbonate of soda water.
When cleansed and taken out of tho
water I would robandago It again.
He would turn, ns wise as he could
bo, look ut It and put his wet mouth
up to my cheek and lick my faco and
hand. Gratitude was in his great eyes.
He would guard mo all day long.
When night, came I would Invito him
into tho cottage and make a bed of
straw-filled pillows upon tho lloor,
and after rubbing his chewed-up cars
ho would lick my hand and chceic
and we would part Tor tho night. How
snfo 1 felt in that lonely spot, which
was only a byroad in an Indian res
ervation section of country.
Fresh Air Towers.
Dr. Schorl, a well known physician
nnd nn authority on national hygleno,
hns made a singular proposal to the
Berlin town council, wnich this body
Is now considering. Dr. Schorl's pro
posal is that tho town council should
build airy pavilions at several points
of tho city at about 1C0 foot above the
level of the streets. These pavilions
would bo supported on strong Bteel
frames and reached by elevators.
Their purpose Is to afTord rest and re
freshment and good air to citizens
weary of the maddening noises, tho
unrest and tho noxious smells of tho
streets.
Thero would bo plenty of seats up
In those airy pavlllonB, plenty of flow
ers, good beer, lemonade, water, mu
sic and other enjoyments. As to tho
Question of coBt, Dr. Schorl Is certain
that his pavilions would pay, especial
ly as no rem WOUIO DO uetennui jr auu,
far from being eyesores, the pavilions
might be graceful and artistic erec
tions, adding considerably to the
beauty of the Btreets.
NO CHANCE FOR ILLUSIONS.
Maiden Knew Her Limitations
Her Capabilities.
and
There was no false pride about Lu
clnda Maiden and she had no illu
sions at Che age of 40 when sho ac
cepted Hiram, Gregg's offer of mar
riage. She was a kard-featured and
oharp-tonguod person, and sho know
It
Also, howover, she knew her capa
bilities as cook and housekeeper, and
she was well awaro that Hiram
Orogg's slow wltB and shiftless ways
had made him anything but a favorite
with tho femlnne porlon or the village.
Sho found things to llko In Hiram, by
looking hard for them, but sho pro
posed to keep him well In hand.
"Well, Luclndy," said Hiram, ono
ovenlng, two or three days beforo
the wedding, "horo wo are, going to
be married, after all, both of us. I
guess Luclndy, I'm about your first
offer, ain't I?"
"You are," said Luclnda, firmly,
"and I'm your last offor, Hiram, and
going to bo If my health holds out, so
wo won't make any more talk ovor
that." Youth's Companion.

Tho idea that has becotuo general that first class building material

look ut tho complete line of clear Soft Pino Finish nnd Siding
carried in stock by
Saunders Brothers
of Hod Cloud, Nob. What is also pleasing to tho buyers of Lumber
and building material is tho fact that their prices are reasonable,
and they guarantee a SQUARE DEAL. They also have a nieo
lino of Oak, Hickory and Poplar Wngon Material. See their Shin
gles. Vou can not help but admiro thorn.
Tho members of this enterprising firm, assisted by plenty of
excellent help, nro always glad aud take pleasure in showing to tho
public this nice stock.

Before tins gateway of his Hfo'o demand
Sate Love nnd Toil, and Toll was worn

But Lovo was fair. Lovo called he

Passed through the happy portals hand

A handrnpld tholr delight and nil their

Bloomed with tho flowers of an endless
The fragrant blossoms of their Eden

Then answered Lovo: "Dear foolish heart
and fond,
Who choosoth Love hath won her serv-

Toll, tho eternal, ministers to you;
And thou thou hast not known, dear
heart and fond."
But he who choeses Toll shall find too

That he has loft Love weeping at ths

The St. Lawrence river whale Qsh
iBEf industry 1b now manlng full blast
In the vicinity of Seven Islands. It
seems that tho company engagod in
this work Ib now taking on an aver
aee a whale every day.' Thoro aro so
many of these animals in the gulf
that thoso ongnged'in tho industry aro
able to select ono out of the many
which aro seen disporting themBolves
in tho water. Thoy are quickly dlS'
patched by a lanco which is fired
into them out of a gun on board tho
fishing steamer, and to the lance Is
afflxed a bomb which explodes lnsldo
the whalo after entering Us body.
Some aro 80 feet long and weiga as
much as 120 tons. Ono whalo will
often yield BO or GO barrels of oil,
and a large quantity of whalebono,
which is worth $300 a ton.
