FULTON COUNTY NEWS.
EMPEROR AND CUR DOG.
She was only a little cur.of no breed
whatever, biitmoBt affectionately true,
and beloved of the two ladles who had
brought her with them for change of
ulr from JCrl8ruhe to Baden-Baden.
In the beautiful Ltohtenthaler Alleo
ohe dollifhtod to frlttk about while her
mlstressos sat knitting, and there It
was that one morning she made the ac
quaintance of the great and good old
German Kmperor, William I., who,
nfter drinking the waters, was enjoy
ing a short stroll beneath the trees.
She bounded forward Immediately up
on perceiving the royal presence, for
xho was of a remarkably discerning
nature, and with the ball of worsted In
her mouth, which one of the ladles had
allowed Inadvertently to fall to the
ground, she leaped upon him and in
her excitement somehow managed to
untwine the same and twist the threads
of wool around the legs of his Imper
ial Majesty.
The ladles were naturally In great
consternation, but to their relief the
Kmperor speedily released himself, ex
claiming it the same time ; "So, my
little racal, you wish to ensnare me,
do you?"
ISut from that time, whenever ho met
her, the dog was always noticed and
caressed by the Kmperor, and later on
he was the mcnas of saving her humble
little life.
It happened one afternoon that some
young fellows got possession of little
Aline, who In her innocence was ready
to make friends, threw her Into the
river Cos, and amused themselves by
pelting her with stones. The brave
little dog strove hard for life, In spite
of the hopelessness of it. But help
was at hand, but to the surprise and
no less dismay of her cowardly perse
cutors, from a most unexpected quar
ter it came. Suddenly her piteous cries
attracted the notice of the Kmperor,
who happened at that moment to be
crossing the bridge, a little higher up.
Quickly he appeared upon the scene,
and the young men fell back abashed.
Their obsequious salute he did not ac
knowledge, but, glancing at them with
withering scorn, made his way to the
water's edge and called the little dog
by name, and as almost exhausted now
she crawled forth, he lifted her up,
dripping wet, int his arms, while she
nestled close to him, trembling in ev
ery limb.
"My "poor little freind," the Emper
or exclaimed, "you are safe now."
Then, again in contemptuous silence,
his Imperial Majesty passed the group
of crestfallen young ' men, and, gave
the shivering little A hue to the ladies,
who by this time had heard of her per
il and had rushed otT to her rescue.

THE ONE WHO HOLDS ON.
There is always something good
in store for the one who knows
how to hold on. Millions of peo
ple have excellent ideas. Per
haps half of these try to put their
ideas into execution, and most of
them exhaust themselves in ma
king the merest beginning. But
there are a few who hold on.
They look discouragements in the
eye, and set their teeth when dis
aster comes, and in the presence
of failure and defeat, clutch their
purpose with a firmer grip than
ever. For such as tnese success
reserves a crown. One cannot be
beaten who will not let go.
STORM EFFECTS.
The rain storm accompanied by
fierce lightning last Wednesday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock was
general throughout Franklin
county and damages were
wrought at Waynesboro and near
Shippensburg. The precipitation
was especially heavy and the
wind blew a gale.
The barn of Clark Hawk, a
young man who has been engaged
in farming for only two years,
was struck by ligtning and burn
ed to the ground. Together with
the barn seven horses were burn
ed to death, all the crops, farm
ing implements and harness went
upin the blaze. It was about 4:30
o'clock when the lire started and
In a remarkably short time the
flames had spent their fury and
the structure was entirely de
stroyed. The blaze seemed to
start in different sections of the
barn simultaneously and burned
so rapidly that all efforts to save
the horses were futile. For some
time afterwards the steuch of
burning horse flesh pervaded the
immediate vicinity. The barn was
frame and of modern construc
tion and the loss will be heavy for
the insurance was small. The
farm is owned by James Small
and is situated about three miles
south of Shippensburg along the
Scotland Pike.
At Waynesboro the wind caus
ed considerable damage, a por
tion of the new brick shop in
course of erection by the Em inui t
manufacturing company was
blown down about half past four
o'clock and a colored man, who
was employed in the building at
the time, was stuck by falliug
bricks and painfully cut about
the head and body. His injuries
are not considered serious. The
plant is located on Fifth street
and next to the ti ack of Jhe West
ern Marylaud railaoad. It stands
in an unprotected position and
was directly in the sweep of the
storm. The loss will amount to
several hundred dollars.
