SENTENCED
A Dog to Jall for Sixty Days to Stay
with His Master.
New York World: It is of record in
Recorder Stanton’s Court in Hoboken
that Kaiser, a mongrel yellow dog, was
formally taken before him and sen-
tenced to sixty days in the county jail,
and a commitment was regularly made
out. This was done that the dog might
not be separated from his master, Ed-
ward Livermore. Time was, perhaps,
when Livermore was good to look up-
on, but Kaiser was never anything but
an ugly cur. The man is 52 and looks
years older. Dog and man have starved
together. Their bones are almost stick-
ing through their skin. Both bear the
imprint of suffering from starvation
and cold. The man was clad in rags.
Only when Livermore realized that he
was so weak from lack of food that he '
must die of starvation or cold did he |
apply to Poormaster Brock the other |
day {or admission to the almshouse.
“You will have to leave the dog be- |
hind,” said the poormaster as he wrote |
out the commitment. “We can’t part,” |
said the old man, and his voice trem- |
bled, as if the suggestion that he would
|
|
give up his dog hurt him. He turned
to the dog. “If we can’t live together
we'll die together, won't we, Kaiser?”
The poor, gaunt dog wigwagged his
stumpy tail in acquiescence. “You
don’t understand,” said the old man,
gently. “You see, I was prosperous
once and owned my own canal boat.
It sank one night about six years ago,
and I should have gone down with it
had it not been for Kaiser. He jumped |
into my bunk and awakened me while |
the water was pouring into the cabin. |
We've been pals ever since, share and |
share alike, and we can’t part now.” |
Then Poormaster Brock's manner |
changed. He took Livermore and Kai- |
ser before Recorder Stanton, and when |
the latter heard the story he sentenced
man and dog to the jail for two
months, and they walked off together,
happier than they have been for
months

Russia Wants Typewriters.
The latest Russian information re-
ceived indicates that a considerable
modification of the imperial Russian
law affecting the use of typewriters in |
that country is about to take place,
says the Detroit Free Press. Hitherto
the use of this machine has been re-
stricted to such individuals as could
obtain special permission, as it was
feared that the general use of this ap-
paratus would greatly facilitate the
machinists of the nihilistic element.
Foreign business houses were almost
the only ones making a liberal use ot
the typewriter. Of late years, however,
Russian industry and commerce have |
extended at such rapid rate and the |
educated clement available for the |
purpose of correspondence is relatively
so small that the Russian government
has at last admitted the necessity of |
acceding to the wishes of Russian mer-
chants. Of course, this means a con-
siderable extension of American trade.

There was a scene during to-night's

termed his arbitrary course, and from

hisses.
As no Senator was prepared to pro-

routine business, and adjourned early to
enable members to attend the obsequies

though Mr. Chandler was anxious to
call it.

foreigners and struck a death blow to
American industries. The supporters
of the protective tariff policy have

GAVE BOY A TONIC CAPSULE.
Reward for the Honesty and Cheek of
a Zealous Bellboy.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat: A well-known drug drummer,
who is paying his regular holiday visit
to New Orleans, took the train last
Monday evening for a little side trip :
to Baton Rouge and in the hurry of
his departure left a handsome bone-
handled umbrella hanging on a hook
in the lobby of the hotel. It was a
tempting prize, but probably every
kleptomaniac who saw it supposed the
owner was seated near at hand. At
any rate, it remained undisturbed and
was still there yesterday when the
drummer returned. “By the way,” he
remarked, after he exchanged greet-
ings with the clerk, “I've managed
somehow to lose my new bone-handled
Have any of you seen such
a thing lying around the office?” A
quick-witted bellboy heard the ques-
ing article hanging within a foot of his
head. Bupposing it had been there for
only a few moments, he promptly
grasped the ferrule. “Is this the one?”
he inquired. “Yes!” exclaimed the
traveler, delighted, “and I must say I'm
surprised nobody has nipped it!” “Aw,
they couldn’t do that,” replied the bell
boy, “I've been holdin’ on to it fer y’
ever since y’' hung it up.” The drug
drummer stopped with his hand halt
way down his pocket and a whimeical
smile overspread his countenance.
“Well,” he sald slowly, “I was intend-
ing to give you half a dollar, but if
you've been holding that umbrella for
three consecutive days you're more in
need of a tonic. Here is a capsule of
quinine and iron.” The gloom which

Pictures do more toward furnishing
a house and determining the status of
2 inmates than anything else. It you
have a suspicion that you are not wise
in choosing and hanging pictures, get
advice from someone whose taste need
not be questioned, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Cheap pictures are not nec-
essarily poor, but a poor picture is
usually cheap. To be able to discern
the difference is a quality with which
every one is not blessed. A good plan
Is to purchase copies of famous pic-
tures, etchings and engravings. These
are almost sure to be good. In fram-
remember that gold
frames are for oil paintings and dark
ors, and black enamel or Flemish oak
and modern oak for etchings and
photographs.
Dog as a Mail Carrler.
New York Times: A woman called
at a house on Lafayette avenue, Brook-
the other day, bearing a letter
addressed to the lady residing there.
It had been mailed the day previous,
but the address was almost effaced.
The woman explained that she had a
young collie which was in the habit of
picking up and playing with articles
he found on the sidewalk. She had
been out walking with him when she
noticed that he was playing with a let-
ter, which he had evidently found. She
took it from him, and, finding that it
had not been opened, she called at the
address and delivered it. It was
found about a block away from its
address, and had probably been drop-
ped on the sidewalk by a letter car-
rier. The owner talks of getting a poe
sition as mail carrier for her couie.

Neglected colds always lead

run into chronic bronchitis which

they end in genuine J

Don’t wait, but take Ayer's

you begin to cough. A few
doses will cute you then. But
it cures old colds, too, only it
takes a little more time. We
