Once, when | was travelling on the

stance of fatalism. The serang, or
captain of the boat, fell asleep at the
stern; they are great fellows 30 do

pier of bridge. Our cook, native,
had put all the provisions on the deck
and in trying to save them, when the
boat struck. he was flung overheard
into the deep waters Of the canal.
"A lot of natives who were OH board
saw him tumble overheard, but in
stead of throwing him rope or trying
TO aid him they stood and watched

the man, and when upbraided them
they said, What can we do! If he is
fated to be drowned, he will drown.
II not. he will live" When said that
they might help him, they remarked
that il was useless. Fate would soon
show.
In the meantime | had thrown a
rope TO the man. He caught ii and |
hauled him on board. Then when |
turned TO them to read them lecture,
they shook their heads and gravely
said, We'll, so he lives. Well, then
he was fated to live. You had nothing

Speaking of the calamity in the resi-.
dence of Secretary Tracy. at Wash.
ington, a dog fancier remarked that If
there had been one or more dogs in the
house no life would in all probability
have been sacrificed. There are. HE
said, scores of well attested instances
on record of house dogs being awak-
ened by the first smell of fire or smoke
and making such racket as to com.
pei the sleepers TO arouse in time to
save their lives. Many such nara.
yves can be found in your newspaper
lilies, and | don't doubt but what they
are true.
The scent of a dog is so keen that
IL detects any unusual odor in the at.
mosphere, and its natural intelligence.
which uniformed people speak of as
instinct, teaches it that danger exists
Tor the persons whom it regards with
affection. Therefore, it seeks to awak-
EN- them, and, of course is successful,

recall to your mind an incident that
came close to being such tragedy as
that OF the Tracy residence. 1t oc-
Cured some years ago in the home of
a Mr. Fisher, wealthy grain exporter
i'll Baltimore.
The fire started in the rear portion
OF his splendid house and burned
away the back stairs before reaching
around TO the front structure. Mr..
Fisher and his wife slept in the sec
ond story front room. Mrs. Fishers
pet was a toy terrier, that always
passed the night on a rug at the foot
of her bed. The flames had not shown

was aroused. 1t ian to the bed and

last slapped it to enforce his COM

firm and barked its shrillest and louc-

what the trouble was and found he

door and saw the fire that was eating
its way toward the apartment. But
he had time enough to spare TO arouse
his wife, to secure his jewels, money
and other valuables that were in the
room and TO make an escape TO the
street. The dog saved the life of ilr.
and Mrs. Fisher and enabled them to
bring away thousands of dollars in

The WEAKNESS of long continued
study is proverbial Its explanation is
not far TO seek. One portion of our
entire being is almost exclusively oc-
cupied, and the monotony of the pro-
cess constitutes in large measure the
cause of exhaustion. Relief must ac-
cortlingly be sought in rest, in the ex-
ercisc OF other functions, or in varia-
ton of the form of mental eXcrtion.
Such timely and refreshing change
enters into all well ordered plansof
education. There is, however, in
every study stage at which persist
ent concentration is indispensable to
high devclopncIt.--OGoc . Week.

Betz, carpenter living on a ranch be-
tween Snohomish junction and Yew,
on the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern

negro in her fathers employ. The case
is an instance of attraction of opposites.
Betz, who has been doing carpenter
work for the various mills OF the Seattle,
Lake Shore d. Eastern railway, had q
mindle-aged negro named Bob Rands,
nicknumed Colonel, clearing land for
him near his home. Betz came to this
city this afternoon, looking for his run
away daughter and the dusky colonel.
He said the negro had shown some af-
ieotion for the girl, but that he never
dreamed of the slightest return, and that
the elopement was complete surprise.
The fa, her appeared much excited, and
gave vent to loud expressions OF grief.
lie said the couple disappeared between
ten and eleven o'clock Sunday night,
while he and his wife were calling on
neighbors. The daughter had taken
considerable clothing with her.
The anxious father informed the
police, but up to late hour this evening
had not succeeded in finding Stella or
her companion. Betz said he could not
believe his daughter would marry the
negro, but admitted that things had
that appearance. Alter searching this
city he said he thought the couple mus,
have taken the train south. He did not
know which direction to take, and re-
turned to his home tonight.

Cocato was struggling with the thhd
bull he was gored by the infuriatcd ami
NAL and tossed in the air. lie received
three deep wounds which will
probably prove fatal. After this
five more bulls were brought
out, but they did not fight at all and the
spectators grew furious. Soon they
started in to demolsh the plaza. The
bull fighters escaped from the arena,
and when the police attempted to stop
the rioting the III OBJ turned and threat
ened to throw the officers into the arena.
The performance was therefore cur
tailed.
Women, children and timid men in
trying to escape from the tumult were
crushed into narrow passageways, CT ok
ing them up, and for time panic
prevailed. After the chairs and ratings
had been torn loose and hurled into the
ring the crowd started to tear out the
sides OF the arena The police seemed
powerless to quell the disturbance.
Finally the mob began to yell for tho
return Of their money ana by the
promise that 1t would be given back, the
excitement was finally subdued, after
the plaza was almost entirely destroyed.
The police to-day conducted the refund

FRENCH CLERIoALIsAL.
Pers Hyacintho Begins n Campaign
Against the Pope.

PARIS. Nov. 3.--Pere Hyscin the to-day
commenced campaign against clerical
ism, in his own church, with vocifcr-
Gus address. He said that the republic
was firmly established, but after leaning
toward atheism there was now dan
ger of lapsing into olericalism. The pu.
pills of Jesuits, he said, we're beginning
to swarm in the military colleges and
the republic threatens to become cler-
ical government after the most bigoted
pattern of South American republics.
He thought this due to the republicans
shutting their eyes to the power of relig-
ion in society, and he advocated that ma
tional churches reject the authority of
the pope. allowing priests to marry and
abolishng the confessional.
The fund for the monument in honor
of Garibal is receiving many subscrip-
tions in France, a fact that shows that u
better feeling toward Italy exists among
the French people.
