A New Dog Story.

This, we think, is a new, and of
course true, dog story. A gentleman
was out shooting near Totnes the other
day, when he had the misfortune
which has previously occurred to other
sportsmen to shoot his dog. For mo
ment he was too overcome to see
what damage he had done, and before
he could recover himself the animal,
a black retriever, had come up to him
bringing in its mouth its own tail,
which had been shot off. Next,
please. Globe.

The success of novels founded on Scrip

The success of novels founded on Scrip
ture subjects is at present something re-
markable. Those dealing with the life
and times of Christ are the most popu-
lar, and ''Ben Hur" leads them all. There
is profound significance in this return of
the popular mind to the old faiths in an
age of such far reaching skepticism and
materialism. Spiritually we seem tend
ing back to the times Of two thousand
years ago. Professor George Ebers in
Germany, Rider Haggard in England
and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in America
are all now writing Scriptural novels.
But it is not likely there can be more
than one ben Hur."

In his new novel w. D. Howells makes
one character express the opinion that
$1,000 year is about as much as a man
can honestly earn. Another character
makes the remark that not the most
gifted person who ever lived could
honestly earn a million dollars in the
practice of any art or science. But Patti
has earned more than that sum, and it
can hardly be said that she got it dis
honestly or ever robbed the poor.

1t is not considered manly amongst
Indians to weep. It has become
proverbial that Indian men never shed
tears. Tears are womanish, and are
left to the squaws, but when Rain-in-

did not speak. He Stunned his good,

Next to moral weakness, a fear Of

ly, the most unfortunate mental trait
OF any young person. .

Thoughts are the frst-born, the
blossoms of the soul, the beginning of

Thou understandest my thoughts afar

Men that look no further than

Originality is the cradle in which

original, and his performing certain
act must not be because some one else
did it, but because from his own OBJ
servation he knows it to be proper and
correct.
1t is hard to tell which of the two
is the more pitiable-the over-nice
reasoner, who never comes to any con-
clusion, or the vacillating, double
minded man, who never decides to act.

Ecclesiastes, who is always observing

She leans herself back. and seems to think,

And tear drops on to the sheet below.
Then she chides herself for becoming so sad,
And calls in CHEEKY tone to the Dad,
Saying his love is as usual sent,
And he mods his head to express content.
She is closing the letter-the cover is there
When step is heard outside on the stair;
And with checks all rosy, and shining skin,

The hand, I'm afraid, not the table, shook.

But it gives shock when we first detect;

When he is thousands OF miles away from the

AN INDIANS LOVE.
Pathetic Story of Rain-iu-the-Face

1t sometimes seems that love and

slaughter with the impression that all
concerning it is terrible, brutal and in.

Yet those who have studied the lives
of these grim and savage warriors
who have stripped the better being OF

found the fires of affection warm aglow.

career than that of Rain-in-the- Face,
one of the most notorious of the Sioux

most famous Of the Sioux, with the
exceptions of Sitting Bull and Gall.

knew no fear and recognized no dan

he was looked upon by the Indians as
an ideal chief; and by his vigorous
prosecution of the. war which ended so
disastrously to the immortal Custer,
he gained worldwide reputation.
But to turn from war to the story OF
his domestic life. With the admiral

love OF a maiden-one of the most
