A Knowing Dog.

David II. Jones, farmer living some
distance up the Champlin road, Just
west of the city, owns Newfoundland
dog IL months old which possesses
rare amount of intelligence. Ned, as he
is called, is in the habit of leaving the
house regularly every morning. Sundays
excepted, and; catching the Herald
thrown from the strect-car, returns with
it to the house. He never meets the car
Sunday. Last Sunday one of the men,
beers of the family remarked at the
breakfast table that the car would bring
up paper that morning. The dogs
name was not mentioned, nor was the
animals attention called in any way.
Soon after breakfast Mr.. Jones looked
for Ned in order to send him after the
paper, but he was nowhere to be found.
"A Few Few minutes later the dog walked in
to the house with the paper in his
mouth.-Utica en- ~ Herald.

Longfellow I'm Early Life.

From Mrs. James T. Fields paper, en-
titled "Glimpscs of Longfellow in Social
Life" accompanying the frontispiece,
in the April Century, we quote the fol-
lowing: Hawthorne once said in speak
ing of his own early life and the days
at Bowdoin College. where he and Long
fellow were in the some class, that no
two young men could have been more
unlike. Longfellow. he explained, was a
tremendous student, and always care
fully dressed, while he himself .was ex-
trcmely careless of his" appearance, no
student mt all. and entirely incapable at
that period of approaching Longfcllow.
Later in life warm friendship grew up
between them. and find little note
from Longfcllow in which he says he
has had sad letter from Hawthorne
and adds: Il wish we could have lit
tie dinner for him, of two sad authors
and two jolly publishers. NOBODY else!
"Of Longfellow's student days MIR.
Fields once wrote: 4 hope they keep
bright the little room numbered twenty
seven in the Maine Hall in Bowdoin
College, for it was in that pleasant
apartment, looking out on the pine
groves, that the young poet of nineteen
wrote many of those beautiful earlier
pieces, now collected in his works.
These early poems were all composed
in 1924 and 1925, during his last years
in college, and were printed in periodi-
cal called The United States Literary
Gazette the sapient editor of which
magazine once kindly advised the ar
dent young scholar to give up poetry
and buckle down to the study Of law!
No good can come of it, he said; don't
let him do such things; make him stick
to proser But the pine-trees waving
outside his window kept up perpetual
melody in his heart, and he could not
choose but sing back to them"

arranged by Hon. j. NJ. Washburn,
with some cooperation of the Peace

involved, and what proved to be cold
winter was before the working people.
The settlement saved this, with all the
peace and comfort, health and morals
involved. Not the least of the advan-

eleven rules, with notes on the same.
The value of these rules and notes is
shown by their having since settled

The greatest honor that man can rem

What man is deficient of in senses he
usually makes up in mulishness.
Nature is frank and will allow no
man to abuse himself without giving
him hint of it.
Remember this However small you

There is no luck, but there is such a
thing as hard work and knowing how
to make it answer for what others call

Simply believing the truths of religion

Ex-Secretary Chandler has taken de-
cided ground, in the United States
Magazine, against the practice of restor-
ing dismissed officers to the army and
navy by special acts of Congress. He
admits that some officers Of great merit
have been restored, but on the special
acts, as a whole, he passes this judg-
'ment: "They have been grossly injuri-
GUS to the military service. Most have
reappointed worthless officers, and some
of the most notorious drunkards in the
navy have been restored-one of them
afterward sinking. while drunk, a
naval vessel and destroying eleven
lives" The trouble seems to be in
some cases that Congressman yield to
solicitation for votes for restoring,
where no injustice was originally done.
