Life Saved BY a Dog.

ANY one who is skeptical as to the

Perry Walton, young lawyer of New
York City. "a few days ago" he said
to a Star reporter. Il went to Newark
to see my parents, and at 10 in the
evening l retired to my room to read.
1t has been my habit to read in bed fol-
a great many years. My dog, an Irish
setter, was lying on a rug on the floor.
After reading for some time began to
feel drowsy, and was about to put out
the gas when my brother came in to
see if was comfortable, and us he was
leaving asked him to put out the gas.
He did so, babe me good night and
went out. l soon fell asleep. How
long 1 slept do not know. but was
awakened by my dog barking furiously
and jumping on and off the bed. AS
soon as l had recovered my senses
noticed strong smell of gas in my
room. 1 CROPPED my way to the bracket

turned it off and then sank insensible
to the floor. 1t was some hours before
was brought back to my senses, the
dogs barking having aroused the
household. On turning off the gas my
brother had accidentally turned it OF
again. The dogs presence in my room
had saved my life, for without him
would have been asphyxiated.

Alexandra Dumas Latest Maxims.
Whatever is useless is dangerous.
What is duty? 1t is what we exact

Whatever is useless is dangerous.
What is duty? 1t is what we exact
of others.
Brunettes deceive; blondes betray.
Never lend money; give it. To give
makes only ingrates; to lend make enc
mics.
1t is easier to be good to everybody
than to somebody.
Friendship stops where borrowing
begins.
Of all the stupidities of which man
is capable, marriage is that which L
would soonest advise him to commit.
1t is at least the only one which he can
not commit every day.
The chain of marriage is SO heavy
that it takes two to carry it-sometimes
three.
Often woman, who inspires us with
great things, prevents us from accom-
plishing them.
There are number of people, especi-
ally in politics, who are like bottles,
they have no value except that which is
poured into them.
Life is the last habit that we wish to
lose, because it is the first one that we
form.
n Sulclue is q VlcClm VINO meclS HIS
executioner and kills him.
Never argue; you can convince no
one. Opinions are like nails;the harder
you hit them the deeper they 90.
Those who do not know how to pro-
fit by misfortunes deserve them.
There are many people who really
repent only their good deeds.
Let us begin by admiring what God
shows us, and we shall have no time
left to hunt for what He hides from us.
If you wish to become acquainted
with Divinity. do not seek it in the
society of the illustrious but in the in
tercourse of the good. Goodness proves
! God; genius cannot explain Him.
If men expended in doing good tC
others fourth of what they expend in
doing evil to themselves, poverty would
disappear from the world.
