He thought to put an end to the misery of a faithful but aged dog, and hit upon the use of dynamite as assuring the cer tain and quick decease of Towser. A bullet might fail to hit exactly upon a vital spot, drowning was too slow and distressing, but a dog blown up by dy- namite might be considered to perish from sheer surprise. So Towser tied to a tree in the yard and a dyna mite cartridge was carefully made fast to him. Then this gentleman of Shamokin sadly started towards his house and the dog made a sudden effort to follow, which resulted in the break- ing of his fastening, and a frantic race for life began, Just as pursuer and pur. sued dashed through the door together the dog went off and Was blown to small fragments, His master was pull ed unhurt from the ruins, He was also surprised, was hae Montana Farmers Plowing The warm wave covers the whole country and in some parts the rise of temperature is as phenomenal as wns the fall of the mercury during the cold spell.

As the two events are recorded as having occurred within twelve hours of each other, the critic is at a loss to accounts for the luxuriant growth of whiskers This, however is not the only remarkable thing about the 1 cent stamp.
