ing such firm root among American
women that there is every reason to believe
that the women of this country will at no

standing attained by the women of
Italy in the fourteenth century, when
Dota Accorosa occupied professors chair
in Greek and Latin in the University Of
Bologna, and Helen Cornaro was professor

NIGHT CAR JACK.
An Eccentric Little Dog with very
Strange Habits.


Strange Habits.
Philadelphia Times.
Jack is fearfully dissipated little dog.
He is out with the boys every night OF MS
life from midnight until dawn, and he loafs
and sleeps all day. He belongs to Car No.
Al, which leaves the depot of the Chestnut
andWalnut Streets Passenger Railway COM
pany every night as the clock strikes IL.
He will acknowledge no human being as
his master. but his allegiance to that Old
green car is answering.
According to the driver whose name is
also Jack, this very queer little dog first APP
peared at the depot about six months ago.
He dropped in at about supper time, ana
watched with hungry eyes the drivers and
conductors as they discussed the contents
of their tin pals. They threw him some
scraps which he quickly gobbled up, and
wagging his tail forthwith made friends
with all the men. Then he waited around
until the night car started out. OF his own
free will he followed it down Chestnut
street as far as the bridge. There
he stopped and waited until it came back
again, when he accompanied it to the depot.
He went through this programme every
night for three months, always stopping at
nightly. So did little Jack. About three
months ago he followed the car across the
bridge one night, and keeping close to the
horses he went down Chestnut street all
the way to Front, where the car turns
down to Walnut street. He turned down
Front street, too, and went back with No.
Al to the depot. He has done this three
times night ever since. When he gets to
the depot he climbs into the car and sleeps
for half an hour. between trips, on the
seat. While on duty he cannot
be induced to enter the car, no mat
ter what the weather may be. He is
keen hunter, and has wonderful scent for
cats. He can run like the wind and cat
has TO skim over the ground like swallow
to get away from him. At the depot. how
ever, there are number of kittens who
tumble all over Jack and plague him to
their hearts content. and he never groWls
at them.
Jack was stolen couple days ago, but
last night he reappeared with piece of
broken rope around his neck to show his
old friends that it wasn't his fault that he
had not been on duty. Why any one
should wish to purlOin Jack is a mystery, as
he makes no pretensions to blue blood. and
his particular combinations Of breeds is
never seen at dog show.
