TESTIMONY OF DOG ENOUGH
Intelligent Action That Saved Life of
Mastiff Belonging to Eminent
Sculptor.
At ft recent reception in New
York, (tutzon Borglum. the sculptor,
was presented to a well-known so
ciety woman. The latter looked at
him hesitatingly for a minute, hen
paid:
“Yes, ! am certain. 1 am very
glad to see you again, Mr. Borg
lum.”
“1 haven’t the great pleasure of
remembering,” replied the sculptor.
“Yes, it was in Los Angeles,” said
the woman, “and you were the de
fendant in a police court ease.”
Borglum was flabbergasted, but
managed to stammer out that he
was never in a police court in his
life.
Then the woman explained. It
seems that Mr. Borglum, when in
southern California, owned a mag
nificent English mastiff. The dog
was amiable, hut the children of a
neighbor were frightened by its great
size, and so, one morning the dog’s
owner was arrested on the charge of
allowing a vicious animal to run nt.
large. The judge ordered the animal
to be brought in. and the great beast
gravely marched down the aisle to
the bench, and, putting a huge paw
on the judge’s knee, looked solemn
ly into his face. The case was at
once nonsuited.
CHILDREN AND THE DRAMA.
Dr. Samuel 1’. Capen, a special
investigator from Clark university,
lias completed some interesting in
vestigations relative to the likes and
dislikes of public school children for
the drama. Girls, he says, like
tragedies at first, which taste changes
as they grow older to a preference
first for comedies, society plays, and
finally problem plays. “One-fifth of
all the girls between eight and It)
years, and almost a third of all the
boys attending the public schools of
Worcester attend the theaters regu
larly at least once a week,” I)r.
Capen says. “The girls go less I
find, as they grow older. The boys
go more. The ferocity of the tastes
of the younger school children is ap
palling. Five boys liked plays in
which there was shooting and mur
ders, and three little girls liked mur
der plays.”
GERMAN DISCOVERY.
An interesting phenomenon that
may he of use in the ignition of ex
plosives is creating interest in Ger
many. it has been discovered that
an alloy of iron and cerium, lantha
nimn, or any other of the rare earths
(as used in manufacturing incan
descent gas mantles) will create
luminous sparks on being struck
with some metal tool, such as a knife
edge, a file, or the like. The shower
of sparks given off at the point of
impact is sutlicient to ignite not only
gas, hut even a cotton wick saturated
with alcohol, and it is possible to
utilize these iron alloys for igniting
all sorts of explosives. The behavioi;
of these alloys has been found to
vary according to their percentage of
iron, the sparking reaching a maxi
mum with a content of 30 per cent.
THOUGHTFUL OF HIM.
Nagger—I've put one poor fellow
on hla feet, anyway.
Mra. Nagger—Whom have you been
fooling your moriey away on now?
Nagge-—Your next husband, madam.
I've had my life insured.
NO TIME FOR THAT.
Philanthropic Woman (giving

HER LUCK.

CATCH TROUT IN ORCHARDS
I -
| Fish Enter Irrigation Ditches and Fol
low Stream Until Life Ends in
the Grass.
(lame Warden Thomas Mullen of
Yakima county lms t ailed the sports
men of this district together to de
vise some wav of protecting the
game fish which are now being
slaughtered in thousands by being
dumped on the orehnrds and alfalfa
fields from the irrigation ditches.
The trout and salmon enter the
ditches and then turn o!F into the
laterals, finally ending tlnir life in 1
the grass where the water has played
out and left them. Attorney Kdwnrd
Parker a few days ago caught a six
pound rainbow trout in his pear or
chard. Clinton Shannon found sev
eral trout in his orchard and numer
ous others have reported similar
finds.
Small boys catch long strings of
small trout hv scooping them from
the pools with their hands. Game
Warden Mullen says that in some
sections of the valley the ranchers
who want fish angle for them in the
irrigation ditches in preference to
the streams, the ditches being more
accessible and tho water slower and
therefore better.—Seattle Post-In
telligencer.
KNEW HIS MEASURE.
Gayboye—Yes. I’m not ashamed to
say that I love a glass of wine.
Knowltt — You mean bottlo, don’t
you, old man?
AT THAT MOMENT, ANYWAY.
Senator Vest of Missouri often
told of a noted character, one Bob
Jones of St. Louis, who was brainy
and brilliant, but seldom sober. On
one occasion, accompanied by his
constant friend and companion, a
large thoroughbred Newfoundland
dog. Jones was found leaning un
steadily against the corner of a
house. The dog was sitting close to
him, patiently watching his every
movement, and ready to catch him
if he should fall. A friend stopped,
and asked:
“Bob, what kind of a dog is
that ?”
“If you wasn't drunk,” replied
Jones, “you could tell hy looking at
him there, that he is a setter.”
MADE WISE KING SMILE.
Here is an unorthodox story of
King Solomon: One day a butterfly
sat on the king’s temple and boasted
to his wife. “If I chose I could lift
my wing and shiver this building to
the ground,” he swaggered. Solo
mon, overhearing, sent for the boast
er. “How dure you?” ho thundered.
The butterfly groveled, “1 did it to
impress my wife,” he pleaded. The
great monarch was instantly ap
peased and let him go. “What did
Solomon say to you?” gasped the
quivering wife five minutes later.
“Oh, he begged me not to do it,”
said the butterfly, airily. And Solo
mon, again overhearing, smiled.
QUEEN’S OBJECT LESSON.
On one occasion, says Cassell’s
Saturday Journal, Queen Amelia of
Portugal nearly caused a revolution
at her court by photographing with
Iioentgen rays one of her ladies who
was oelebrated for her wasplike fig
ure. The queen, after developing the
picture, gave a lecture on the evils of
tight lacing, and held up her unfor
tunate sitter as an awful example.
All the ladies were ordered to let out
their waists, and the grumbling and
discontent threatened severe trouble.
ONE ON THE DENTIST.
“Ouch!” blurted the busy dentist,
as he injured his hand with one of
his instruments.
“Ha, ha!” laughed the old farmer
in the chair. “That’s good!”
The dentist was furious.
“I don’t see anything to laugh
at,” he snapped. “I am in pain.”
“And that’s why 1 am laughing.
Thought you was one of these here
‘painless dentists/ mister.”
