DOG GONE!
Strange Case of an Iron Dog Going
Astray and Being Found in the
Bloomsburg High School.
Buddha's idea about the reincar
nation of souls may be all right
at any rate thre are several mil
lions of people on this earth who
think so and it is possible that
many a puppy dog in town is run
ning about with the soul of some
one's ancestor tucked away inside
of him, but that a cast iron mon
grel should suddenly come to life
and strive after scholastic honors is
a case which even the immortal
Buddha might have difficulty, in
explaining.
The hound in question is the one
which has for many a year guarded
in ferric silence the front yard of
Mrs. A. A. Butler, on hirst street.
Through summer and winter it has
squatted on its metal base, never
showing signs of the least skittish
n ;ss.
When the spirits were abroad on
Hallowe'en, however, it seemed to
occur to this curious cur that it
should do some stunt, so without
the slightest noise it vamoosed.
Sunday morning its absence was
noticed, and a search was started.
One gentleman scoured the neigh
borhood for two hours, whistling
till his lips were sore before he re
membered that the ears of the iron
tanine were little accustomed to
that sort of summons, so, feeling
foolish and discouraged, he gave up
his quest.
Naught was heard nor seen of
the animal until early Monday
morning, when an instructor who
occupies a class room on the second
floor of the High School entered
his sanctum. There, perched upon
the highest desk, was the prodigal
pnrp, no longer showing evidences
of activity, but dumb and metalic,
as it had been in its wonted posi
tion iu its front yard. The instruct
or informed the owners, and sent it
back to protect the front steps.
Psychological phenomena are in
teresting studies, and we realize
that spirits can accomplish much,
but in this case we appeal to some
medium for an explanation.

TRIED REMEDY
FOR THE GRIP.
A LINCOLN PENNY JOKE.
Proves Costly to Jersey Shore Post
Master Who Buys 1909 Pennies
to Sell for $20 Each.
Tortmaster Warren Masters, of
Jersey Shore, made a trip to Lock
Haven last Sunday intending to
pick up the modest fortune of $14,
000 while there, but he came back
without it. He carried with him
when he departed 700 bright Lin
coln pennies, each showing the ini
tials of the designer. These pen
nies still remain in his possession,
but he doesn't treasure them quite
so highly as he did when he was
paying to cents apiece for them.
Several days before Postmaster
Masters heard that Herbert Car
penter, a Lock Haveu cigar dealer,
had made a standing offer of $20
for 1909 Lincoln pennies the kiud
that bear the initials of the design
er. Masters used the telephone,
asked Carpenter about it, and was
told the offer was good. Then the
postmaster went on a still hunt for
pennies, but before he had corner
ed the supply the price had gone
up to to cents. He accumulated
about 700, which ought, according
to his calculation, to bring $14,000.
Sunday he went to Lock Haven to
get the money.
Strolling into Carpenter's store
he bought a high-priced cigar and
casually asked the storekeeper if he
was still offering $20 for 1909 pen
nies. "We certainly are, if they have
the designer's initials," said Car
pen' er.
"Well, I have a few," said Mas
ters. "Are you sure you have 1909
pennies?." asked Carpenter.
Sure; every one of them, and
with the designer's initials," repli
ed Masters, and poured a handful
of the glittering coins ou the show
case. "Looks to me as if there were
only two or three hundred there,"
said Carpenter. "I can't afford to
pay $20 for less than 1909."
For a full half minute the two
men looked straight into each oth
er's eyes. Then Postmaster Masters
gathered up his pennies, and, with
out a word, beat it for the railioad
station.
THE ROSEMONT CEMETERY.
There is still in the minds of
some persons, an idea that the cem

shrubbery planted therein. The
following Act of Assembly will
teich such persons to be more care
ful, as the Act will be enforced. It
was passed the second day of April
A. D , f853:

mealth now in existence protecting
the grounds of any cemetery from
trespass, or the tombstones or mon
uments, railings or fences, from
mutilation or injury, shall ae and
the same hereby are extended to
the Cemetery Company here incor
porated." DR. A. B. JAMISON HERE.

ury Department in Washington,

A BISHOP AND A TRAMP.
Bishop Talbot Turns the Tables on
Begging Tramp.
Feople of Bloomsburg, especially
Episcopalians, will be interested in
tins story printed in Everybody's
Magazine concerning Bishop Ethel
bert Talbot, who presided over the
Central Pennsylvania diocese of the
Episcopal church before it was di
vided into the Diocese of Harris
burg and Bethlehem, as the distin
guished churchman made frequeat
visits here:
"Once, while Bishop Talbot, the
giant cowboy bishop, was attending
a meeting of church dignitaries in
St. Paul, a tramp accosted a group
of churchmen in the hotel porch
and ask for aid.
" 'No,' one cf them told him,
'I'm afraid we can't help you. But
you see that big man over there ?
pointing to Bishop Talbot. 'Well,
he's the youngest bishop of us all,
and he's a very generous man. You
might try him.'
"The tramp approached Bishop
Talbot confidently. The others
watched with interest. They saw
a look of surprise come over the
tramp's face. The bishop was talk
ing eagerly. The tramp looked
troubled. And then, finally they
saw something pass from one hand
to the other. The tramo tried to
slink past the group without speak
ing, bun one of them called to him:
' v ell, did you get something
from our younger brother ?'
1 lie tramp grinned sheepishly.
'No,' he admitted 'I cave him a
dollar for his blamed new cathedral
at Laramie !' "
