What a Dollar Dog Can Do.
A man In a nearby city bought for
bis wife and child a year ago a dog,
for which he paid a dollar. It was
obviously nothing wonderful In the
canine way—merely a mongrel, with
the bulldog strain predominant. The
owner was u man in bumble circum
stances, and the dog tn bis modest
Jwolling was rhe principal asset aside
Groin a few pucks of furniture. The
other night Tom was tied to a leg of
the kitchen sink, aa usual, and the
tomily went to bed. They were awak
ened by the dog at midnight scratch
ing at his master's door. When his
master came out to see what was the
matter the dog, with a remnant of
chewed rope hanging from bis collar,
whined and ran to the bead of the
stairway. The house was on fire, and
shortly after woman and child and
man and dog made their escape their
poor dwelling was a mass of glowing
embers. The owner of the dog has
been urged to part with him for a
large cash consideration; but. though
le is penniless, he will not part with
be four footed savior of his family.
Neither has the dog at any time bad
hougbts of leaving them for luxurious
:ennels.—New York Times.

He Got a Hundred.
Sammy's mother talked to him long
ltd earnestly about the poor marks he
ad been getting in his work at school,
.be painted in alluring colors the ca
?er of the little boy who studies his
jtrsons and gftins the love and respect
112 bis teachers. She went even far
tier. She promised him that if he got
ood marks she would give him a
vhole dime all for his own. Sammy
iemed impressed.
That afternoon he returned from
•hool fairly dancing with joy.
"Oh, mother," he shouted, "I got a
undred!" ,
"Sammy!" cried his delighted moth-
She hugged him and kissed him
md petted tsm and—gave him the
lime. ,
"And what did you got a hundred
j?" she finally asked.
"In two things," replied Sammy
dthout hesitation. "I got forty in
eadin' and sixty in spellin'."— Every

Trapping the Parson.
William Morris did not always get
ils jokes right end first. In a biography
>f her husband. Mrs. Edward Burne
ones tells of the ease with which he
•eversed them.
A dinner gathering had all been ask
ng conundrums.
Who killed his brother Cain?" asked
Burne-.lones
Morris fell into the trap at once.
"Abel!" he shouted.
Later in the day he came in laugh
ing.
"1 trapped the parson, by Jove!" be
exclaimed. "I asked him, Who killed
his brother Abel?"
" 'Cain,' he said at once.
" 'Ha!' I said. 'I knew you'd Bay
that. Every one does.' I came away
and left him puzzled enough, and I
ioubt if he'B found out yet what the
ioke was."
Not Qualified.
Two men were getting warm over a
simple difference of opinion.
They turned to the third man.
"Isn't a homemade strawberry short
rake better than a cherry pie?" de
nanded one of them.
"Isn't a homemade cherry pie bet
r than any shortcake?" inquired the
her.
Tbe third man shook his bead.
"I don't know,"he said. "I board."

Exchange.
Not an Umpire.
A clergyman startled his drowsy
ongregation the other day as follows:
•ily dearly beloved friends, permit
le to remind you that I come here to
ireach, not to act as umpire in a snor
iig match."
The Explanation.
Fred—There seems to be a lot more
iss made of Miss A.'s singing than
iss K.'s, and I am sure Miss K. has
far the richer voice. Jack—Ah, yes,
it Miss A. has by far the richer
ather.
Made Sure of the Pie.
.. young girl who carried her dinner
is observed to eat her pie first,
oen asked why, she replied, "Well,
there's anything left it won't be the

A Surprise For the Hunters.
"If the lair of a leopard Is known,"
says a writer in the Wide V> ui !d Mag
azine. "stones \ni, li.-iwrally dislodge
the lurker. I recall one occaslou when
u leopard was supposed to be located
in a cave near camp. The guns were
placed around In positions command
ing the nit and a few stones were
then thrown nt. There was no result
at first, but as more and larger stones
crashed In there came a faint bum
ming and then a roar like the sea un
der tbe cliffs. In a moment the air
above the cave's entrance grew dark
with—bees! As oue man sportsmen
and gun bearers tied for the camp. A
few were slightly stiuig before they
could reach their tents and pull the
flaps over the eutrauces, which the
bees for some time besieged, incredi
ble though It may sound. II is the truth
that, although the camp was full of na
tive servants, horses, etc.. none of
those who had remained behind and
were not concerned In tbe attack ou
the bees' cave were stung. It was a
considerable time before the bet's beat
a retreat, hilt during all the time that
they stayed in the camp it was the
tents of their aggressors exclusively
round which they angrily buzzed."
The Crab In the Whale's Ear.
When the whales were still frequent
along the lines of passenger travel
across the Atlantic nothing was more
common than to see the great beasts
hurling their bulk clean out of the
waves and.after a flight through the
air. falling back into the sea with an
enormous splash, a spectacle never
falling of Interest to the ocean tourist,
but not due to any sportive disposi
tion on the part of the leviathan of the.
deep—quite the contrary. The breach
ing of the whale is no fun for the
beast. It is a frantic effort to rid
himself of the torture of earache.
There is a marine crustacean which
pesters whales to the verge of endur
ance, and there seems reason to be
lieve that some whales have been driv
en insane by these tiny parasites. It
is a crab of about the size of that
which is found in the oyster. When
It lodges on the whale it Infests tbe
Inner surface of the eyelids and the
ear. By swift rushes on tbe surface
the whale is able to clear Its eyes, but
the crab In the inner ear cannot be
dislodged by any such means.
"Ox Eyes" For Two.
The drawback of fancy names for
dishes is their tendency to bo deficient
in prosaic information. Would you
order "angels on horseback," for in
stance, If you did not know what sort
of thing it was? And to appeal to the
waiter to interpret is humiliating. A
correspondent recalls his own fate in
the matter of "ochsenaiTgen" (ox eyes).
Having repeatedly seen them on the
menu among the pudding class during
a tour in Germany, he and his wife
eventually ordered them. "Two .por
tions?" asked the woman waiter. "'Oh.
yes, two portions." Tt proved that two
portions of ox eyes meant six fried
eggs—as the final course of a hearty
meal. And, as the wife had the moral
courage to refuse to eat more than
one, the cowardly husband, unwilling
to give away that he had not known
what he was ordering, had to worry
down the five oihers.
A Startling Hat.
A lady's hat which would no doubt
create as great a sensation today as it
did at tlie time of its first appearance
in 13">2 was that worn by Blanche de
Bourbon, queen of Castile, wife of
Peter the Cruel, it cost £.'55 and was
made in Paris. The hat itself was
composed of de chypre and relieved
with great .pearls, garnets and enamel
work. Children, carved In the whitest
of ivory, were depicted picking acorns
of pearls from the oak and scattering
them to the swine below. Birds were
singing in the trees, and at the foot
were bees stealing honey from the
flowers springing up from the verdure.
Fresh Air For Sleeping.
A person requires twenty cubic
inches of fresh air nt each respiration.
or on an average of 400 per minute,
and in ten hours' sleep he consumes
130 cubic feet of air. The air of a
bedroom ten feet square, having Its
doors and windows closed and occu
pied by one person, would become un
fit for respiration In four hours. In
the case of two occupants the time
would, of course, be reduced to two
hours.—New York American.

High Ideals Should Be Guide.
In the adoption of a profession or
trade another important fact not to be
overlooked is the end to which your
•election will lead. Let high ideals
be your guide, lofty motives your am
bition. A man may profitably work
for money, but money and social posi
tion are the lowest imaginable ideals.
When you have fixed upon your pur
pose go fearlessly onward. Don't mind
sneers and tauuts and calumnies.
Weave your crown with the garlands
of obstacles conquered and difficulties
overcome.
