DOG WORKS MIRACLE ,
HE SAVES A FAMILY FROM THE
POORHOUSE.
Not Only Tlmt , He Atmi I'ald Ifcnt ,

cine fur it Sick Woman , and 1'nt
Blioci on Ills Master' * l-'cut.
This Is a story of n dog tlmt snvocl 11
man uiul his wife from the poorhouse.
The dog paid the rent , bought medicine
for a sick woman , kept the table going
for a mouth , uud oven put shoes on
his mastcr' feet.
Flash Is the name of the dog , and ho
la n fox terrier. How ho performed
thcbu remarkable things Is best told
by his owner.
"My wife and I came to Chicago
about four months ago from St. Louis , "
he ' said. "Wo had been married only
a'short time when I lost my position
as a drug clerk. I tried for two weeks
to get work at aiiy kind of employment ,
but I was unable to find anything to
earn u dollar at. So we decided to pick
op and come to Chicago. Upon our ar
rival here we got three rooms for $7 a
month and settled down to honseUcep-
lug as soon as the furniture arrived.
1 "It was right after the holidays that
we landed hero , nnd I found the drug
uveu slower in umcicgp imiu
U was In St. Louis. There were n. few
advertisements In the papers from day
to day for drug clerks , but it was al
ways my luck to be too late. After
the second week I began to answer any
kind of an advertisement of help want
ed. Being a stranger In the city 1 had
difficulty in looking up places , and 1
was slow in getting to addresses be-
f cause I did not want tQ spend any
money for car fare. When I arrived
here I had less than ? SO , and the little
pile was growing smaller day by day ,
and by the cud of March our money
Vas about gone.
"Now I'll tell you about the dog. Ho
Is one that my wife raised from n pup
py. I wanted to sell him to a friend
In St. Louis when we left , but the wife
wouldn't listen to it. She said she
wouldn't come to Chicago unless Flash
came with her. lie Is a pedigreed fox
and is worth $25 of anybody's money.
"It was election day , the lid of April
I will never forget It that my wife
tied a blue ribbon round the dog's neck
anil told me to take him out and sell
him. We were flat broke and she
thought I could get at least § 10 for the
dog. She cried a little when I left
home , and It seemed as If the dog knew
what was going on. I brought him
down to Madison and Dearborn streets ,
Jnd. I wasn't there two hours before I
fold him. He is such a ikettlly marked
little fellow that everybody who pass
ed stopped to look at him. I set a
price of $10 on him , because I know
nobody would pay more than that.
More than fifty p i's. n ? asked me the
j > rlce ami wl' n I w < ukl tell them they
would walk nwny , saying , 'he's n. nice
dog , but I don't care to pay that much. '
I finally cninc down to $3 , because the
V jvlfe was sick and in need of medicine ,
and I thought best to get It as soon as
possible. A woman with gold-bowed
pectacles bought him and took him
5omc. I didn't ask her where she liv
ed , nnd I don't know to this day.
"The second day after that the dog
returned home. Where he came from
or how he got back I don't know. My
wife was so glad to see him that she
forgot her sickness for awhile. She
was fondling the dog and talking baby
talk to him when the thought occur
red to me to take him out and sell hln
again. 'Maybe he'll run away from his
next master and come back to us
again' , I said to the wife , and we botl
laughed heartily. I took the dog down
town In the afternoon nnd had no trou
f ble in selling him again for $3. The
next morning before we were up he
was back at the little flat on Ccntc
avenue. He seemed to understand whj
he was being sold , nnd he expressed
his approval of the scheme by lau-th
Ing nnd talking. That may sount
strange to some people who do not un
derstnnd dogs , but It Is a fact that dog
laugh and talk just the same as humai
- beings.
"During the month of April I sold th
dog seven times , getting ? 3 for bin
each time. If It hadn't been for bin
we certainly would have been compelled
polled to apply to the county agent fo
relief. The wife was In need of metV
cal attention , and it Is probable s'i
would have had to go to the poorhouse

PLAYED HER LAST CARD.
* How Her Mirny Vex itlons Finally Cnl-
minuted on tliu Car.
One explanation Is that she was not
In a good humor when she took the
, car. She had seen n big man beating '
a little horse and when she had pro
tested after the manner of an excited
woman he had old her to "Gwa'n an'
chase yerself , " and when she got a
policeman he would make no arrest until -
\ til she had agreed to make a com
plaint and she hud not gone forty feet
before she rued this rash pledge to
appear in the role of a prosecuting wit
ness.
The car started ns soon ns both her
feet were on the steps nnd her voice
was sharp when she told the conductor
era
that every passenger had to make a
run nnd Jump to get aboard. For her
i part she wished that electricity lincl
never been harnessed. People needed i
yea la the backs of their heads these
ar .
Owing to her agitated frame of mind
It was not unnatural that she should
hand the conductor u plugged quarter ,
says the Detroit Free Press. He was at
llrst disposed to pocket the coin and
the Implied reflection ou his ability
to look after the Interests of the com
pany , but her curt request for the right
change was her undoing.
"This Is no good to me , madam , " ho
said , quietly ; "It Is plugged. "
Being address as "madam" when she
does not enjoy that felicity may have
tended to break her up still more. At
any rate , she announced that she had
no way of knowing whether she gayo
him that coin , and that If she did she
probably got it from some other con
ductor.
" 1'ou give It to him all right enough.
I seen you , " said the large-featured
woman across the aisle.
The only reply to this was a glare
that never touched Ihe volunteer wit
ness. But the angry woman had an
other string to her bow. The conductor
was chewing gum. "See here , sir , " and
there was a veritable rip-saw edge on
her voice , "you go outside and finish
your lunch. We can fix this thing up
afterward. "
There was a titter along both sides ,
the conductor was redder than a toy
balloon as he ran the gantlet and the
question of the plugged coin was not
resumed.
Illuminated IManuscriptN.
When man first discovered how to
onvey his thoughts to others by writ-
ng he must have felt the want of some
neans of embellishing his work , and
o the art of Illuminating was begun.
Phe earliest work known is the Egyp-
Inn papyra , containing portions of the
itual , or "Hook of the Dead , " which Is
inmmcntcd with many drawings and
olorcd pictures. Excepting the above ,
10 other mnnuscripts of antiquity were ,
itrlctly speaking , illuminated. The
3reek nnd Roman manuscripts of the
Irst century that have been preserved
o the present day were only written.
The oldest Illuminate. ! mnnuscripts , of
vhlch there are two , are of the fourth
century , the Virgil of the Vatican and
he Dloscorldes of Vienna. These are
ornamented In the Byzantine style .
with vignettes. (
The use of gold and silver letters Is
supposed to have been derived from
3gypt , but there arc no records to show
.hat this was so. The first mention
of the use of gold and silver was as
early ns the seventh century. The oldest -
est manuscript known In this style Is
the Codex Argcntcus of Ulfllns , 300 A. '
D. Through the middle ages , when lit-
crature was only produced in the form
of manuscripts , this art was of tha
(
greatest Importance , and was highly ,
leveloped. In the different epochs of
that period It was marked by great
diversities of style , and appears to
lave received no less attention thnn i
any of the fine arts. But when print
ing superseded written books , Illumin
ating languished and finally became
extinct. This beautiful art has ngnin
been brought into notice , and much
has been produced that might compare
with that of the medieval period. Art

The Trees of I'urls.
Paris is probably the only city In the
world which him trees that bloom twice
0c
a year habitually. These are the horse
chestnuts. There are seventeen thou l-
sand of them planted In the squares and
boulevards , and twenty-six thousand
buttonwoods. The trees of Paris are
numbered , just like the people , the
cabs , the animals , the lampposts-and
the matches. These horse chestnuts
have only beeu doing this trick for
iru
about five years , and only some of them
have made a. practice of it. These die ,
e.it
or apparently die , in the latter part itA
July , and all the leaves fall off. A I
month or so afterward they all come
16m
out into flower again and little green
leaves shoot forth continually until
they are nipped by the first frost. There
Is u reason for this , and the scientists
worked over the matter for a long
time to be able to explain It. Briefly
and miscientlficnlly , the trees lose their
Ira
leaves because they are attacked by a
little fuccus which is blown upon them
by the wind ; then , being still full of
sap , they start to put forth leaves nil
over again.
