1’H‘ E BEST DOG.
' Ice, I went $0.868 the bowwows, and '2 \
. ,. . looked at every one,
‘ Proud dogs of every breedand strain that's
' underneath the sun;
’ But not one could compare with—you may
' hear it with surprise—
A little yellow dog [know that never took
a prize.
Not that they would have skipped him when
-th’ey gave the ribbons out,
Had there been a class tofit him—though
his lineage is in doubt. ~
’No judge of dogs could e'er resist the hon-
est, faithful eyes
“Of that plain little yellow dog that never
tooka prize.
Suppose he wasn’t trained to hunt, and
. never killed a rat,
And isn’t much on tricks or looks or=birth
-—well, what of that?
might be said of lots of folks whom
men call great and wise.
1A9 well as of that yellow dog that never
took a prize.
. mm
It isn’t what a dog can do, or what a dog
may be,
That hits a man. It’s simply this—does he
believe in me?
And: by that test I know there’s not the
compeer 'neath the skies
O! that plain little yellow dog that never
took a- prize.
Oh, he's the finest little pup that ever
wagged a tail
And followed man with equal joy to congress
or to jail.
I’m going to start a special show—'twil-l
beat the world for size—
For faithful little yellow dogs, and each
shall have a prize.

A Day's Sport in Tangled
Sullivan County Swamps
. HE bay lynx, or wildcat,” —s—aid
' Judge Crane, of Port Jar-
vis, "is not a striking example
"of domestic devotion. Unlike the
~hero of the popular ballad, he loves
to wander from his own fireside. and
he is more fortunate than most fellows
in the ability to indulge his wayward
propensity. Most. animals of our woods
are extremely local in their habits.
The wildcat isa tramp. lt-is customary
for him to have two lairs, a dozen way-
side haunts and perhaps as many more
occasional stopping places. His «two
homes are frequently. ten or a dozen
imiles apart, and mark two points on
~‘the circumference of an approximate
circle which incloses his stamping
ground. ,
“He starts {from one of his habita—
‘tions on his lonely jaunt, covering in
the first 24 hours five or six miles on
the main line of his route, while his ex-
' cursions to the right and left through
thicket and swamp comprise many
more miles. His route seems to be com-
posed ofinnumerable small circles and
eccentric figures. When he reaches
his second residence he hunts the ad-
jacent covers until his wayward fancy
again asserts itself. Then he strikes
oi! home, which he reaches by an alto-
gether new route. or rather a series of
routes. He is not a creature of habit.
Occasionally he curls himself. up like
a. house cat. and sleeps on the ground,
hunting usually ‘by night, and some-
times two weeks may elapse before he
regains his starting point. Without
doubt he keeps his roving up all the
time. although it is only during the
the winter months, when the snow
holds the record of his wanderings.
that we can be sure of his movements.
For this reason. too. the winter is-the
only time we can hunt him scientifical-
ly. If he is disturbed by man he will
pike off for the mOredis-tant heme. per-
haps running for eight miles in a per-
fectly straight line. if you can set a
dog upon his hot track he will take to
the nearest. swamp or patch of briers.
and wind and twist and turn until lie
almost unscats the reason of the calm-
est and most. calculating old hound
that ever followed a trail. He will not
take to water or resort to the other
methods of obliterating his trail that.
a deer adopts. He simply goes-around
and around- in the thickest brush he
can find. depending all the time on
mere strength of grit- and endurance
. to win out and throw off the pestering
hound. He is not afraid of the dog. but.
the latter bores him by hispersistency.
and he resorts to the same measures
adopted by the man who owes you ten
dollars. ‘lt is very difficult to tree a
wildcat. Some-times, after being hunt-
ed for hours in the way I have indi~
caied. a fresh and fast hound might
make him climb a tree, but this is rare.
The man who shoots a Wildcat with-
out undenistanding these principles is
lucky. . .
“Last week Lew Boyd, the presiding
genius of the hunt at Hartwood. tele-
phoned. to me that he had found the
fresh track of a cat.
"‘ ’I‘hat cat's ,come back from Eden?
was the way Lew put it—Eden was
the second place of residence of this
particular cat—‘and he's on this side
of the Monticello road, now.’ ,
“So I telephoned to Miles Sturievhnt
to come down from llartwood the next
morning to meet me. l met his wagon
,on the rural four miles from town. We
bumped LII? we.) ovcl“ the turnpike to
the top of Sullivan county. and then

up Lew [Boyd and his hound on the
way. Three! miles further on the Gray
road strikes out to the’east at right
angles. Here we dismissed the wagon,-
ehainc’d the bound. and walked on in
the direction of Gray swamp. At. the
head of Gray swamp we found the
tracks of a big cat pointing toward the
“‘2. swam p. and a few yards further on we
came upon. a similar track crossing
the road in the opposite direction. Lew
asserted confidently that the two
tracks were made that day, and by the
same animal, and the question re;
malned to be deéided on which side 01
the road he was at that moment. He
was of the opinion that the cat was in,
Long swamp. So we trudged through
the woods for three mllesalong the top
of a low ridge.
“We passed innumerable deer tracks ,
on the way. As we nea‘red-Long‘swamp
We put up a. fine deer that went dash-
ing of toward PortJervis. and a little
later another jumped through the
brush‘close by: Long swamp is of the
shape of an enormous two-fingered
hand, covering hundreds of acres. Aft-
er we gained the swamp thesun went
under the clouds. and even the instinct
of direction possessed by Low Boyd,
trained woodsman as he was, was at
fault, We made our way thy the aid
'of my pocket compass. ‘
“On the west edge of the swamp we
came suddenly upon a place where
the ground was torn and trampled.
Tufts of hair and pieces of pelt lay
about. on the blood-stained snow. and
‘t‘h-eire was every sign of a terrific sir-ug-
g‘le; On the edge of the battleground
lay the 'paunch‘ of a deer. and a few
feet further on we found its head and
spine, gnawed clean. The work had
been done two nights before. and from
all signs this had been no running. bat-
tle of miles. The tragedy had all been
enacted. within a few feet. and we both
felt a new respect for the animal that.
could do away with a nearly full-
.grown deer. Lew-cut through to shirt
the east end of the swamp in quest of
a. fresh track. and I went up Handy hill
in the Opposite direction to look over
a smaller swamp in the vicinity-

definitely, when we met again. ‘He‘s
back in Gray swamp.‘
“Gray swamp is the worst place in
Sullivan county. it is almost impene-
trable. It is perfectly flat. and in ad-
dition to the usual dense underbrush it,
is overgrown with laurel whose
branches are interlaced so deftly that

i kept still and cursed my luck. My
only chance was to remain quiet and
wait for the dog to bring the animal
around again. After the dog passed I
hunted around until 1 found a fallen
log. from the top of which I could see
for a few yards about me. The sounds
of the hunt held on quite to the further
edge of the swamp and then gradually
turned. ‘
"Suddenly something lithe and soft
and graceful made a curving leap over
the brush. I caught. another glimpse

Chief Justice Chambers wia leave
Moona July 14. * Not desiring to r'eturn,
he has sent his resignation to President
McKinley, who does not wish his resig-
nation. The‘ question whether this con-
stitutes a vacancy in the chief justi'ceship
is being discussed by the commissioners.
Dr. Solf claims that he will preside over
the supreme court if Chambers leaves
the island. If there is no vacancy, then
either Hunter or Mair may be designated
to fill the chief justiceship in Chambers’
absence.
The commissioners are much blamed
for not ordering the restitution of loot
taken by rebels. Mutants partisans
among the rebels are raising funds to
fight the kingship question through law-
yers. and are confident 'of obtaining a re-
abolition of the kingship and will be pres

ducted to the, galleries of the senate,
where Count d’Almenas drew a lamenta-

of sobbing from the women. Count d’Al-
menas blamed the American authorities
and the Spanish government for the
fate of these unhappy men. '
Senor Silvela, in defending the gov-
ernment, said that although the United
States had at first placed obstacles in the
way, they were now endeavoring to as-

VALENTINE SENTENCED. 4 '
Get- Six Years For Using $208,000 of
Perth Amboy Bank’s Funds.
NEW BRUNSW’I‘CK, July 19.—
Georgc M. Valentine, the defaulting
cashier :of the Middiesex County bank
at Perth‘ Amboy, was sentenced yester-
day afternoon to six years' imprisonment
in the New Jersey state penitentiary by
Judge \Voodbridge Strong in the Middle
sex county court. .
Valentine, in company with his wife,
his father. Robert N. Valentine. and his
uncle, Mulford Valentine. came into
court shortly before 3 o’clock. All were
in tears. Prosecutor Voorhees read two
allegations against Valentine, one charg-
ing him with the embezzlement of $25.-
000 from the Middlesex County bank
and the other with the theft of $7,000
from the Perth Amboy Savings institu-
tion,
guilt. J. H. Rice, counsel for Valentine,
entered .a plea of non vult. E. S. Sav-
age, an uncle of the prisoner and the
Valentine family’s lawyer, made a strong
appeal for mercy for the young cashier.
He spoke of the high standing of the
: Valentine family and said that the pris-
oner and his relatives would do all th y
could to restore to the two bailks th r
stolen funds. "
Judge Strong said that under the law
he could sentence Valentino to undergo
seven ycars’ imprisonment and to pay a
fine of $2,000 for each of the two of-
fenses. but that. taking his family into
consideration, he would sentence him to
six years’ imprisonment under each
charge. the two terms of°imprilonmont.
however, to be concurrent. thus making
Valentine’s entire term of imprisonment
six years.
When Valentino arose to receive is
sentence, the color left his face. he s d-
dered and almost collapsed. and when he
resumed his seat he burst into tears. '

ment to date has been 2,268 men, of
whom 50-1 were recruited Monday. Gen-
eral Corbin and other-officials of the war
department say they are very much grat-

when it considered that the work already
performed was done at the regular army
recruiting stations and before the special
volunteer stations had been put into ac-.
