i no usual t-Hliu of the morning serv

disturbed on Sunday. .J:;!" 21, by the
?ppe:ii'ance of a hi rji*? black dog. It
entered the house of worship after the
rector, the Itev. I>r. Homer II. Wash
buru. bad the service well uuder way.
Detective Sloan. who stood at the
outer door, made au ineffectual effort
to atop the dog at the portul. but the
animal was evidently un artful dodger
and slipped past Sloan in a twinkling.
Once Inside, the dog took a leisurely
survey of the crowded house and made
a bee line for the altar. When It
reached a point opposite the presi
dent's pew tt suddenly stopped, sniffed
at the carpet and made as If to enter.
Little Quentin Roosevelt, like all the
other children In the church, was deep
ly Interested In the dog's movements
and looked as though he hoped the
good untuned animal \vould come In.
But It did not. Instead it trotted down
the alile to the front and then made a
circuit of the southern half of the
church. By this time two of the
I ushers were In speedy though silent
? pursuit, and more than half of the

lag and follow thj dog catching pro
ceedings at the siLiie time.
"I will suspend here." exclaimed Dr.
Washburn, breaking off in the middle
of his reading, "to repeat the request I
have made upon a number of occasions
before? please do not bring your dogs
to church. Now we will resume."
There was a look of pained denial
upon the faces of all the good folic at
this unjust Insinuation, but as no ouo
bad been accused In person no one felt
called upon to make a defense. The
dog made Its escape about this time by
the front door, as he had come, and the
incident was closed.
Wildcat Killed by Angry Deer.
The game preserve attached to Ca

of Jacob Bauer, near Port Jervis, N. Y?

counter. A hungry wildcat had wan

rescue, and she planted both her sharp
little hoofs ou the cat's back, ripping
Its hide open. Two bucks joined In the
fray, aud before the cat realized what
