TEE MOTEER-'S TREK. Look, how this love this mother runs through all This world God made even the beast the bird. Tennyson.
One woman journeyed on foot 1,000 miles, drawing a little express wagon that she might keep her children together. Mrs. Ella M. Arthur performed this feat. She thus traveled all the way from Texas to Ames, la. Six years ago the husband deserted her and three small children. Her en
tire capital was a cow, a pig and two
small hands. '
Mrs. Arthur chanced to come across
a flamboyant circular telling of a new
town on the gulf coast The land flow ed with milk and honey and oppor

articles, for souvenirs and other objects not known, is certainly not to be classed as a gentleman. Neither does it speak very well for the son of Mrs. Carter nor her relatives, when they permitted her personal attire to be auctioned of to a mob. Thank heaven, that some of us, who do not live in

caused much comment here. James K
Risk, district chairman of the dem
ocracy, intimate friend of William J

ry B. Overesch, republican leader, in
the insurance business. During the
recent campaign Mr. Overesch was .las

Now, while I am no less interested in the welfare of the party, I have decided to make some money for myself and let somebody else do the work I have laid down." Mr. Overesch has made a similar resolution. , Like Mr. Risk he has sacrificed his personal Interests for service to his party. He says he is going to do something for himself now. Mr. Overesch is state agent for a large eastern Insurance company and he has taken Mr. Risk into partnership. Both men are experienced insurance men. Their friends are watching the strange union with much Interest.

THE ROUNDER SAYS
The report has been going aroun
that Captain Peter Austgen will be
the chief of police of Hammond when
Governor Marshall gets into the execu
tive chair and begins to throw out the
republican officeholders.
Pete Austgen is one of the most ef
ficient men on the police force. He is quiet and unassuming and yet there
is never an emergency to which Cap
tain Austgen does not rise. At times he has shown a decisiveness which has won the admiration of those who have
seen the genial officer aroused.
A case in point occurred when Fer guson Lauder murdered Paddy Gold
en in Jim Smith's saloon a couple
years ago. Austgen was the first of
fleer to arrive on the scene. He saw
several wounded men lying on the floo
and knew at a glance that he had
bad case to deal with. "Who did that?" said he to Jim Smith, as he pointed to the dying man on the floor. Jim Smith hesitated. "Where is the fellow who shot that man?" demanded the officer. Again Jim Smith hesitated. Austgen knew that it was a time for action and not for words. He ran over to where Srrith was standing behind the bar and glaring at him fiercely slammed his fist down on the bar and said: "I want you to

Whether Jim Smith was too scared to
answer or whether he dia not want
too is not known, but the facts are
that he then told what he knew in the fewest words possible.
Captain Austgen immediately decided
on his plan of action, but it was too late. It was a dark rainy day. The
murderer had three minutes start and
that was enough. Ferguson Lauder is still at large, but it is not Captain Austgen's fault.
The captain is well liked by all of the officers on the force and he is
very popular with the people at large.

Yesterday, shortly after dinner, a boy little curly poodle which looked more like a mop than anything else was seen trotting down West State street in the direction of the Four corners, with an old tin can tied to it's tail. The poor little canine looked so tired that to all appearances it had been
running all morning, and, at last, at the point of exhaustion, all it could do was to trot along while that abmonible can was forever following it. If a dog can look shame-faced that poor little poodle certainly played the part. At the four corners the dog right about faced and started south on Hohman street. A benevolent gentleman saw the poor little dog's predicament and started out into the street to get hold of the can and remove it from the canine's caudal appendage. The dog shied out of the middle of the street and again became conscious of the fact that that awful tin can was following it. Several boys, just out of school, chased after the dog
and in its effort to get away from them it fell down several times. Once it was frightened by the bouncing can and ran directly into the curb. Finally exhausted and bruised the animal turned down Rimbach avenue and found relief from its persecutors In a quiet alley. i It may have been lots of fun to the boys who tied the can to the little dog's tail, but today there is a tired, bruised and much-abused little dog. which, if he had the faculty of reasoning, would find it hard to under-
