AN EXAMPLE OF CANINE HuMoR,

An Incident of weu-Known Painters
Boyhood Days-Dog and Pig.
"Dogs," said Mr. William Il. Beard, the
artist, "have humor beyond a doubt. That
it is not often unmistakably manifest will
admit, but sometimes it is well defined II
some dogs are gifted with humor all have

an incident In my boyhood days there

gent pointer, we'll broken for bird hunting,
and consequently valuable; but set about
extending his education to other field sports.
such as rabbit hunting. but he had NO stom-
ach for woodchucks He was a nervous,
timid creature, and after the first en-
counter, when he disgraced himself, he
seemed to feel it ever afterward. 1t thus
became an amusement to find q woodchuck
hole and invite my pointer to join in the
sport, but the moment he detected the char
acter of the occupant he would turn on me
with most ludicrous, shamed look, and
smiling an excuse would positively decline
all further participation. I say smiling,
for he had this power, not uncommon in
dogs of his species, as well as with settlers,
greyhounds, and sometimes spaniels
This smile consists in twisting the nose
to one side and showing the teeth in
pleasant way, which then have an entirely
different look from what they have when
exposed in anger. The expression is unmis-
takably that of a smile, and always denotes
the same sentiment of mirth and pleasure as
In man. I remember, too, rare prankish
joker of dog that belonged to friend of
mine. He was mongrel Of medium size,
not too tall, nor yet too short, but just about
right for his own waggish purposes. He
was fond Of pigs that were allowed to run
at liberty, and | have observed many of
them quietly cropping the grass and grunt-
Sport was meditating mischief. He would
Immediately make his selection, go for his
pig, which of course started to run. Sport,
running up even with his side, would not at
tempt to catch hum by the near ear, or any
parallel practice of the ordinary dog, such
as the experienced swine undoubtedly ex-
pected
He knew way of getting more fun out
of pig than that When the proper dis.
tance was established and tho two animals
were just in position, he would thurst his
head under the pigs belly, adroitly catch
him by the opposite flank, and suddenly
come to q standstill with BRACE This,
: with the pigs Momentum would, of frourse,
his great establishment, land him upon his
back instead of his feet at the next leap.
Then Sport would let him go, turn to us
with wagging tail and head on one side, and
give us a whimsical inquiring lcok, as much
as to ask: How is that for joke ON the

A spanish Princess, Elopement.

Another of the sisters is Princess Josefa,
who contracted most romantic marriage
with the Cuban poet and statesman, Guell
v Rente The latter, who died about three
months ago, was favorably known in the
United States as having been q great par
tisan in favor of the Cortes abollshing all
duties on American coin; in fact he was a
kind OF Spanish Golden. When quite a
young man he became attachel to a young
lady belonging to one of the principal fam
lilies of Cuba. His love was returned, but
the father refused to encourage the suit and
contemptuousy told him that he was of far
too low origin ever to dream of marrying
his daug ghter. Enraged, Guell y Rente ex-
claimed that lie would show people who he
was by wedding a princess Crossing the
ocean, he arrived at Madrid and soon made
q name for himself there as poet and author.
Several poems which he dedicated to Prin-
cess Josefa sutficed to turn her head com
pleteIy They became enamore1 of one
ano. her and fed together
The royal family were thunderstruck.
The scandal was rendered doubly great by
the fact of Guelley Rente being most pro-
nounced Radical The government tried
unsuccessfully to get the marriage invali-
dated by the pope bat the people We're de-
lighted therewith. Sentences of exile were
pronounced against them, but after while
the good nature for which (. ueen Isabella is
notorious prevailed, and the couple returned
to Spain with hoAor, the queen receiving the
poet as her brother in-!aw. He was Il mo {
charming man and distinguished author,
while his speeches in The senate ami the
cortes are of historical interest The royal
family at no tiine had reason to regret the
marriage, and his three sons are perhaps the
most popular and certainly the most ac oti,-

busy churchman, a hard worker and q
close student He is now one Of the young
est members of the college of cardinals. His
rise in the church has been remarkable.
Born in Baltimore July %, 1884, ordained
priest June 50, 1861, appointed vicar apos-
tolic of North Carolina in 1868, installed as
bishop of Richmond in 1872, promoted as
coad jutor archbishop of Baltimore in 1877,
assuming the full archbishoprie upon the
death of Archbishop Bayley. he has
reached the crowning honor OF his life,
being the second American who has
reached the height of the cardinalate. As
the first cardinal came from the north, it
is peculiarly fitting that the second should
be the head Of the province which in
cludes SO many southern states. Arch
bishop Gibbons priestly career began with
the war, and few znen have done more to
aid the south in her onward progress since
the return Of peace. In personal appear
ance the archbishop is slender and rather
delicate. His features are clear cut, and
his kindly blue eyes and gentle manners
make stanch friends for him everywhere
His ability is of high order as writer,
and as a speaker he is always clear in argu-
ment and simple in style, but it is principally
as an administrator that he has won his
highest reputation.

An Excellent Judge of Character.

Mr.. Armour prides himself on the men he
picked out to do his work, and naturally
He no doubt believes himself that his faculty
in reading faces contributes great deal to
his money-making power. Armour gets
down to business at Z a. m., and while he
does not require everybody to be on hand at
that hour, early comers are appreciated
There is a capital fellow in the office who
was rewarded for this very thing not long
ago. He had been out all night; so much of
the night, at any rate, that at dawn it was a
question whether a cat nap wouldn't be
more fatiguing than restful, and SO he de-
cided TO clear up his head and clean out his
body by Turkish bath. 1t was 6 o'clock
when this sobering-up process was over, and
not z o'clock when he turned up at the office
as smooth as silk and fresh as daisy. Att
Armour came in. His eye fell ON that Turk
ish bath young man. r.
"Say," said Armour, you're the kind of
fellow like to see. You just go to-day and
get the best suit of clothes you can find, and
charge 'em to the old man. Chicago Mail

A Kings Amusement.

Victor Emanuel and one of his friends,
signor j., on one of his hunting trips, had
taken shelter for the night in the hut of O.
countryman, who had not the remotest idea
of the idsntity OF his illustrious guest. The
king noticed that Signor j., who was sitting
near the fire next the host kept turning
away his head What is the matter with
yous" asked the king in French, which, by
the way, he spoke like Partisan. 4I can't
stand the smell of this man." said j., "he
smells like wild beast" @Bah!" said the
king, "any of us would smell like that If we
went for a week without washing" 70,
never" "Yes we would, I'll try it myself.
So the king went to work conscientiously
and never washed himself the least little bit
in the world. At the end of five days j.
came up to him, and touching him respect
fully ON the elbow, said: "Your majesty
has won the bet, and not at the end of a
week, but of five days" The king shouted
with laughter and was highly delighted with
the whole adventure.

THE FIRST HEADER.

For the illustration Of an incident in this
first journey we are indebted to the maya
zine Outing, The picture explains itself.
This accident occurred while going down
hill Lsllemont had no brake. He yelled
in French to have an old farmer and his
wagon give him room. The farmer, on
turning round. spied the strange apparition
that was evidently chasing him, jerked
wildly on the reins, so that Lallemont, to
avoid collision with the bswilderei driver,
detected his wheels to one side, taking
what is technically called a '.header,"
from which he carries scar ON his face 10
this day.
A man named Carroll advanced money to
obtain patent May 4, 1866. But did not
have capital to manufacture it. nor could
capital be secured Lallemont returned to
France, where he found a manufacturer
willing to assist him, and did, but the war
of 1870 put stop to their work. He after
wards received 10, 900 francs for his interest
in the American patent, which expired in
1888. Fortunes are being made in the manu-
factnre of the s'wheeln to-day, and its in

BALTIMORE, June s0-The long-heralded
ceremony of imposing the cardinals berretta
on Archbishop Gibbons took place to-day,
with all the solemnity and grandeur of
Roman Catholic church ceremony. The
marvel on an occasion of this kind is how
the aged prelates endure these long care-
rnonials in their weighty robes and in q
warm and crowded church A further
marvel is where do all the people come from
and how deeply interested they appear to
be in all this pomp and pageant. 1t was
expected the deep love in which Archbishop
Gibbons is held by all classes of citizens
would bring tremendous crowd to the old
cathedral, to witness his reception of fresh
honors, but the number of the people was
beyond anticipation.

any in America since 1884, when the Rev.

LAGOON MESSAGE.

"Not now, but later, when the road
we tread together breaks apart,
When thou, my dearest, distant art.
And tedious days have swelled the load
Upon my heart
ut haply after that, when /
Ann sealed within an earthly bed,
Resting and unremembered,
This scene will speak and easily
The whole be said.
Some eve, when from his burning chair
The sup below Fusina slips,
And all the sable poplar-tips
wave in the warm vermilion air,
The wind, the lips
"of the soft breeze with wayward touch
shall tell thee all longed to own;
And thou, ON lurid lakes alone,
Wilt say: Poor soul, he loved me much;
And he is gone.'"
