HOW Slau hoSeI Woulu W eAclalllleu
Florence.
When they got to the cottage, the
dog lay on the bare brick floor. His
eyes sparkled with anger at the in
truders. But when the little girl
called him "poor Cap" he grew
pacifed, and began to wag his short
tail. Then he crept from under the
table, and lay down at her feet. She
took hold Of one of his paws, patted
his rough head and talked to him,
while the gentleman examined the in
jured leg. 1t was badly swollen, and
to have it examined hurt him very
much, but the dog knew it was meant
kindly, and, though he moaned and
WINGED with pain, he licked the hands
that were hurting him.
"It's only bad bruise, no bones
broken" said the gentleman. Crest
is all Cap needs; he will soon be well
again"
81 am SO glad!" exclaimed Flor
ence. "But can we do nothing for
him? He seems in such pain
"Plenty of hot water to foment
the part would both ease and help
cure him"
"Well, then,' said the girl, II
will foment poor Caps Leg
Florence lighted the fire, and tore
up an old flannel petticoat into strips,
which she wrung out in hot water and
laid on the dogs bruise. 1t was not
long before he began to feel the ben
eft of the application, and to show
his gratitude in looks and by wagging
his tail. On their way home they met
the old shepherd coming slowly along
with piece of rope in his hands.
80 Roger!' cried Florence, "you
are not to hang poor old Cap. We
have found that his leg is not broken,
after all. !"
mo, he will serve you yet" said
the gentleman.
"Well, 1 am glad to hear it, said
the old man, land many thanks to
you for going to see him.
The next morning Florence was up
early to battle Cap. She found the
swelling much gone down. She
bathed it again, and Cap was as
grateful as before.
Two Or three days later, when Flor
ence and her friend were riding to-
gether, they came up to Roger and
his sheep. Cap was there, too,
watching the sheep. When he heard
the voice of the little girl, his tail
wagged and his eyes sparkled.
"Do look at the dog, MISS" said
the shepherd, "he's 50 pleased to
hear your voice. But for you, l
should have hanged the best dog l
ever had in my life."
This is true story. 1t happened
many years ago, and is now told with
pleasure of that lady who, in later
years, grew to be the kind, brave
woman who nursed so many soldiers
through the Crimean war, and has
done so many other things for the
poor and suffering wherever she
could.-Youth's Temperance Banner.

True Story Of Florence Nightingale.


True Story Of Florence Nightingale.
When Florence Nightingale was a
very little girl and living in Derby
shire, England, everybody was struck
with her thoughtfulness for people
and animals. She even made friends
with the shy squirrels. When per-
sons were ill she would help nurse
them, saving nice things from her
own meals for them.
There lived near the village an old
shepherd named Roger, who had a
favorite sheep-dog called Cap. This
dog was the old mans only compan-
ion, and helped in looking after the
flock by day, and kept him company
at night. Cap was very sensible
dog, and kept the sheep in such good
order that he saved his master a deal
of trouble.
One day Florence was riding out
with friend, and saw the shepherd
giving the sheep their night feed.
But Cap was net there, and the sheep
knew it, for they were scampering
about in all directions. Florence and
her friend stopped to ask Roger what
had become of his dog.
"Oh," he replied, "Cap will never
be of any more use to me. I shall
have to hang him, poor fellow, as soon
as l 60 home tonight"
''Hang him!" said Florence. 80
Roger, how wicked of you! What
has poor old Cap done?"
"He has not done anything" re-
piled Roger, "but he will never be Of
any more use to me, and | cannot
afford to keep him. One of the mis-
chievous schoolboys threw stone at
him yesterday, and broke one of his
legs" And the old shepherd wiped
away the tears which filled his eyes.
"Poor Cap" he said, che was as
knowing as human being"
"But are you sure his leg is
broken?" asked Florence.
"Oh, yes, miss; it is broken, sure
enough. He has not put his foot on
the ground since"
Then Florence and her friend rode
on.
"We will go and see poor Cap,
said the gentleman. 81 don't believe
the leg is really broken. 1t would
take a big stone and hard blow tC
break the leg of great dog like
Cap"

The Man Who NegIects the Little Things
VIII Never Succeed.
T.: these days of colossal combina-
tions. commerce is conducted on such
large scale that the seemingly trivial
details of business are often neglected.
The desire to figure before the world
as a large operator too often blinds the
manufacturer or merchant to the ne
cessity of looking to the many minor
economies which might be instituted in
his establishment. 1t should be re.
membered that little leaks are often
more dangerous than the bigger ones,
which are sooner discovered and stopped.
1t is unsafe to despise the day of small
things. Many a man who Is now
millionaire owes his position more to a
constant attention to every detail Of
his business than to any wonderful man
Hesitation OF ability. Thorough, pains
taking. consecutive effort will in the
long run accomplish more than brill
liant but erratic genius. Competition
and the modern methods or conducting
trade have reduced prices to such de-
gree that very little sufiices to turn

| improved process of manufacture have
SO cheapened some articles that what
would at one time have been considered
an extravagant use of them is quite JUS

the stories told by Stephen Girard and
other famous merchants who picked up
pins and Strengthened bent nails that
| they might be used again. Pms and
nails are now so cheap that the time
spent III reclaiming them may be en-
ployed to better advantage, but the idea
that prompted those men remains and
can be employed as profitably as ever.
The amount of waste in shoe factories
resulting from careless and ignorant
