lips close to her pretty ear. The temp

velvet cheek once, twice, and then, as
she did not attempt to move her fresh,
rosy lips. "Rosalie, do you love mep"
She was silent save for a slight
catching of her breath, that might have
been either q sigh or q sob.

A Gallant Attorney.eeneraI.


The question whether q woman is a
person has just come ny in Minnesota,
this time in connection with cemeteries.
BY the statutes 'any number Of per-
sons not less than seven" may form a
cemetery association. At meeting
lately hold in Kasson, Mimi, to form
such an association, q woman's name
was proposed rs one Of the Trustees.
A doubt was raiscd whether women
were legally persons and 1t was de-
olded to exclude women until the next
annual meeting, by which time legal
advice could be obtained. Mrs. II. M.
White, one Of the excluded, wrote to
the Attorney-General at St Paul, ask
ing his legal opinion as to whether she
was q person, The Acknowledgement
promptly replied that she was and that
the opposition could have no ground to
stand upon. ''unless those who hold
that women are not persons should con-
tend that they were angels and h-,ncc

A oueer Animal from Japan.

An animal whose identity is at present
unknown there, was landed in San Fran.
cisco lately from the interior of Japan,
where il first saw the light of day. At -
glance the curiosity might be taken fer
either dog or a monkey. Its shaped like
the former aluut the head and neck,
but otherwise somewhat resembles the
monkey. The animals favorite position is
on its launches. but with little urging
it stands on its four feet, the body slop-
ing downward from the head like a
giraffe. The claws on the four feet are
like those Of dog, but two extra pairs
are furnished Oh the hind legs couple
of inches above the balls of the feet.
The animal appears 10 be gentle but has
a strong, high-keyed bark. which it
gives when spectators attempt to stir it
up.--Chicago Herald.
