BERNARD A Bily Goat Butted Onece Too Often and Then Met a Watery Grave, Thore was trouble down at the foot of Hyde street, San Francisco, the other aftornoon between a plebeinn and very pugnacious waterfront billygoat and a groat big shaggy St. Bernard dog. No one knows who the goat belonned to. There are lots of goats of all kinds along the front at the foot of Hyde and ad- joining streats, and they fwre a tough, disreputablo lot of goats at that. But aminer acknowledges that they s to bo. It is tough picking there for even a hoodlum goat. The dog be- longs to D& Arthur T. Rosen- burger of 2018 Buchanan street. He owns three or four of theso groat big good-natured St. Bernards, and one or more of these animals always accompanies the doctor or Mrs. Regensburger when on the street. Mare Antony the name of this particular d with the goat. Marc Antony is now nearly < old, just budding into St. Be! rd doghood, and, like all St. Ber- navds, is fond of the water, Bvery day tho doctor takes his canine friends down to tho bay for a swim and romp. For a number of days past the dogs on their way to the bay huve had more or less trouble with” o long-whiske ed billy- goat. As the dogs passed along this purticutar goat would run out and hove around, waiting for a good chance to use its head for & battering ram ugainst one of the dogs. This goat scemed to out Mare as un especial ot, and sevoral fights between do, it were interrupted by the dog's master, The other day the dogs went down to as usual, and as usual that billy-goat was on hand waiting fora chance to mix up with Mare Antony But trouble was averted for a time and the dog vam around in the bay, while the goat stood around in & pensive sort of way und watched his enemies romp around in the water. After a good swim the dogs ecame out and be- gan chasing each other about on the sands, paying no attention to the goat. Finally ons of the dogs chased Mare Antony up toward where that goat was waiting and watching Mare ran on ahead, and then, as is the fashion of all dogs at play, turned, and, planting his forefeet well forward, wiaited for the other dog to come up. It was at this oppor- tune moment that the billy- goat went into action. Lowering his b d the animal chargea, bowling the nine over and over. It was almost a minute before that dog renlized just what had happened. Then Mare An- tony made a dash for the goat and caught it ny the back of the neck. The gout struggled, but th dog continued dragging 1ts foo toward the bay, never offering to bite. Slowly but surely the big St. Bernurd moved toward the water. Dr. Regonsburger shouted to the dog to drop the gout and then tried to whip the canine into submission. But the dog understood his business. He held on and dragged the struggling billy out into the bay and then deliber- ate kept poking that goat’s head under the water until it was drowned. Then the sagacious dog loosened his hold and allowed the body of the dead goat to float away on the waters of the bay. o ‘Where the Colonel Had Him, Colonel Sterrepp is a Texas news- paper man and a great reader of stand- ard matter.

The twenty-three howling and tho soven whirling dervishes thatacriv this oity on last Monduy from C praised Allah in the Madison Squaro garden Thursday afternoon for their safe ar- vival. It was the Mohammedan Sub- bath and the howlers and whirlers also performed the usual religious ceremo- nies of that day. Sheik Abo-el-Fattah had the sect Kad- ris, who ave the homeless, and the sect Mevelovis, who are the howlers, mark out a semi-cireular spuce on the Madi- son avenue sido of the garden, twenty feot in diameter and enclose it with sh hout pskins.

I'he bowlers sut_on tho sheepskins opposite the green flags, and then came tho whirlers, with long gowns covering their rope-we'ghted skirts and with high, brown, brimless hats. The whirl- ers sat on the right of the sheik and for several minutes remained motionless. Then a bowler marched solemaly up with an iron pot of burning incense and an iron vessel shaped like a boat. These were placed by the side of the sheik. Suddenly the members began sway‘ng their bodies to and fro and_moaning dis- mally.

Omar chanted the question, “Ash Asmu?” (What is his name?) and the howlers and whirlers droned forth the answer (His name is God Almighty). “Asmu Allah tudem,” A period of swaying und moaning and praying ensued, and then Omar again sang n call to prayer. The dervishes swayed more violently, and kept it up so long that it was a wonder their strength held out a *futcha’ (blessing) and the moving The sheik mumbled ‘Three of the howlers zaierle,” the national ,on reed instruments, s grow still. d the “D march of Egyp and after this'the dervishes chanted for S0V ul minutes: “Allah il Allah” (God God).

Then Ho marched around the holy As he sdvanced he groaned nod he bowed and the howlers bent th bodies. The groaning set in steadily and rose and fell with a sound like the faraway singing of plantation negroes. A dozen of the howlers tore their turbans from their heads, and their long black hair fell down their back and over their swarthy faces. They hopped on their knees and shook their bodies l1he men in mortal agony. Up and down their bodies beat, with the long hair of the dark-headed ones flying Lo and fro. The sheik resumed his seat botween the green flags and picked up with tenderness a coarse bag. Instantly the howlers becamo silent und sat with their faces turned cagerly toward the sheik and their hands twitching. The sheik drew from the bag a young boa con- strictor more thun three feet long. .He held it just behind the head and carefully placed it about his neck, The folds of the snake were seen to tighten and the sheik's mouth opened. He breathed huskily avd it seemed that the snuke was strangling him. Suddenly he unwound the cofls and placing the snake in his lap fondled 1t. The interest of the howlers had in- creased, Livery dusky face was thrust eagerly forwurd and many dusky hands were thrust out beseechingly. The sheik glanced covertly around und then nodded to Ylouseyn, thie most euger of the howlers, . Ylouseyn sprang forward and, knecel- ing in front of the sheik, stretched out his hands. The sheik: placed the ser- pent in them, and while Ylouseyn hela it he cut its head off. Like a shot flouseyn wason his faet with the writh- ing serpent clutched in his hands, he reed instruments were played, the drums were beaten, the howlersshrieked und crouched and doubied themselves up on the sheepskink. Ther Ylouseyn bit u pieco from the snake, snarling like usavuge dog. The howlers were growing wild with religiouns frenzy. They groaned and screamed. Ylouseyn bit piece after piece from the snuke’s body and swal- lowed them. ,The sheik sprang forward and, seizing the snake, tried to tear it from Ylouseyn. The latter fought savagely to retain it, and then Badoni, & fat hcwler, . Mun into the circle and seized the snake, too. Badoni and the shiek each bit off a piece. Then Ylouseyn bit off another piece, and the three howlers placea their hunds upon each other’s shoulders and whirled around with the snake hanging from the sheik’s neck. All the howliers yelled furiously and buwmped U POPULISIS their foreheads on the floor, Badoni was 100 stout, and pretty soon he had to bo helped back to his sheopskin, where he sank exhausted Then Ali Flassan, a bearded howler, received from the sheik the mace, an instrument of torture, with a globular weight on ono end and o foot of steel with a sharp point on tho other. Ali jabbed tho point in his right cheek and then in his left cheek. Then he thrust it in his scalp and in his neck while he danced around.

After a tivesome period of whirling all the dervishes stood like statues on their sheepskins while the sheik made silent prayer. Then the howlers and whirlers went up one at a time to the sheik, and after grovelling before him were permitted to touch his hand. This ended the exhibition. Some of the disgusted spectators invaded the civele and asked to see the snake’s body in order that they might make sure that it was genuine. Satistied of this they hastily withdrew, One theatrical man- ager who saw the performance said “Malluk wants to charge $2,000 1 v for those people. I wouldn tgive him %200, for I think the police would raid the show.” VETER ‘ATHERLAND. Thousands Attend ths Annual Reunton of the Deutscher Krelgerbund.
