Itlooks, Judging by the following from
Spokane Falls, as though the new state OF
Washington were preparing to compete
with Georgia for the honor Of being the
chief source Of tall stories: A remarkable
accident occurred late Sunday afternoon at
the new Hotel Spokane. One of the cham.
bermaids was somehow caught up by the
wings Of large ventilating fan in the
kitchen and carried up the escape pipe as
far as the second story window, where she
was wedged fast by her clothing. The pipe
was cut open and the girl was taken out
badly frightened, but otherwise uninjured.
The ventilating apparatus is TO carry the
fumes from the kitchen, which is in the
basement, up through large sheet iron
tube that connects at the fan and runs up
outside Of the building to the roof The
fan itself is ten feet across, and at the time
of the accident was making 200 revolu-
tions per minute, creating very strong
draught in the kitchen. Philadelphia

We cannot tell from the railway time

The traveller who is curious to know just

by listening at open window or door. The

An English officer, who was In Paris in
1915, mentions the case of dog belonging
to shoeblack, which brought customers
to its master. This it did in very inge-
NOUS though scarcely honest, manner
The officer, having occasion to cross one of
the bridges over the Seine, had his boots,
which had been previously polished, dirtied
bya poodle dog rubbing against them. He,
in consequence, went to a man who was
stationed on the bridge and had them
cleaned. The same circumstance having
occurred more than once, his curiosity was
excited and he watched the dog.
He saw the dog roll himself in the mud
of the river, and then watch for person
with well polished boots, against which he
,contrived to rub himself Finding that the
shoeblack was the owner of the dog, the
officer taxed him with the artifice; and,
after little hesitation, the man confessed
that he had taught the dog the trick in or
der to procure customers for himself. The
officer, being much struck with the dogs
sagacty, purchased him at high price and
brought him to England. He kept him
tied up for some time and then released
him, The dog remained with him day or
two and then made his escape. A fortnight
afterward he was found with his former
master, pursuing his old trade of dirtying
gentlemen's boots on the bridge.-New

The Use of tho Library.

Flowers are tasteful and significant in n
library, but they should be introduced
sparingly, as they take up much room and
are almost certain to be in the way.
Singing birds are out of place in a library.
They arc noisy and hence a nuisance. If
the library is commonly made to take the
place of sitting room, it is different. In
that case, one may be guided wholly by in
clination. 1t Is informal to receive guests
in library, and may not be done save in
the case Of intimate friends. Chicago Sat

THE CHILD MUSICIAN.

He had played for his lordship's levee,
Ho had played for her ladyship's whim.
Till the poor little head YVES weary
And the poor little brain would swim,
And the face grew peaked and eerte,
And tie large eyes strange and bright
And they said-too late--''He is weary,
He shall rest for at least tonight"
But at dawn when the birds were waking
As they watched In the silent room,
With the sound Of a strained cord breaking.
A something snapped in the gloom
Twas string Of his violincello,
And they heard him stir in his bed;
snake room for q tired little fellow,
Kind God" was the last he said.
