Number Forty did as he been direct

night with his head hanging and his
tail between his hind legs, as he had
Gone many time before.
Jonah was a dog-a mean looking
cur at that, and was accustomed to the
treatment he had just received. Jonah
did not care, SO why should Number
Forty? Forty was a telegraph mes
senger with all of boys love for
dogs, and especially for the homeless
and abused sort.
Jonah was just of that Sort only a
little more so, for he began his career
by falling down n well, when nothing
but a diminutive, inquisitive puppy
From this predicament he was barely
rescued by his present owner, and
from that day the seal of attachment
had been set.
Jonah was a passably pretty puppy
in those days, but after repeated scald-
ings, kickings and the like, he had been
rudely chast from the home of Forty
never to return, on penalty of death.
Then when Forty attained to the
dignity of earning his own living, in
the service of the te legraph company,
Jonah was given place IN box near
the office, where he rapidly grew to be
a favorite with all the folks in the Of
fee, save the night operator.
Jonah, in his inquisitive rambles
about the Office, during his stay there,
had upset battery jar full of muriatic
acid, burning half the hair from his
ugly hide, and rendering himself still
more ugly.
He had also chewed up the boys caps,
when they were left within reach But
these and many other misdemeanors,
while gaining for him the sobriquet he
now enjoyed, had failed to attract the
night operators attention.
One evil night, however, Jonah dared
to enter the sacred precincts behind
the operators desk and devour that
worthy mans midnight lunch.
From that time forth they were at
odds and Forty had sorrowful time
of it, between his love for the dog and
a desire to retain his position.
One night the wind was bowling like
mad. and the rain was dashing madly
down from the inky blackness above,
when the door opened suddenly and a
tall, well dressed man stepped quickly
inside. ?
He went forward to the operators
table, wrote note hurriedly and in a
nervous manner, inquired if it could be
forwarded at once by trusty messen-
ger to the address given on the envel-
ope. as the answer would contain an
important message.
Though Forty had called down the
wrath of the night operator, on account
of his love for that miserable cur,
Jonah, be enjoyed his confidence, and
was looked upon as one of the most
prompt and trustworthy among the
boys To him the important message
was intrusted, not, however, without
additional words Of caution.

storm coat, pulled on a pair of water

A Naval DISPLAY,

They were "Three merry, merry
boys and one holiday morning they
hired a catboat, and laid in the es.
sentials of a breezy time, and started
up the North river.
But light head-wind and strong
ebb-tide made progress difficult.
On the long tack, the little craft
would go dancing up the river, passing
under the stern of one of the white
Squadron W HIGH lay at anchor;5 and
after coming about, would make a
short tack across the bows from which
protruded the big black guns, and be
carried, by the set Of the tide, far down
the river again.
After this performance had been re-
peated a number Of times. Jack, who
had been lying on a piece of old sail
down in the cockpit, noticed the famil-
lar white sides of the huge iron-clad
looming above him, and exclaimed:

Before Nine had departed Ten had
coaxed the book from the dog in con-

The message and money were safe, but
before the tall man departed he laid a
ten dollar bill upon the desk, saying to
the operator:

four more away to keep him in meat.

TAKING HIS HOUSE DOWN,

Mildred Could Not stand the Worm Out
jocks
Children are often confused by points
of etiquette which older people regard
as binding, and not understanding the
circumstances, act with a directness
that is irresistibly funny.
Mildred was dining with several gen.
tlemen at Uncle James. 1t was quite
an honor. She sat up straight, and was
on her best behavior. Now at the table
there happened to be gentleman fond
OF telling stories, and at every story
he told the company laughed, as polite
ness demanded.
But before he had talked long, Mil.
dred perceived, to her establishment,
that the stories he told were all old
ones. Some of them Uncle James had
told her himself; some of them she had
heard many time; many of them she
had read before. She looked at her
elders indignantly. How could they be
amused at such WORKOUT jokes?
At last she could stand it no longer
The gentleman told another story, and
rybody laughed heartily. Looking
the story-teller straight in the face, she
exclaimed, contemptuously:
Yes; l read that to uncle myself. 1t
was in the paper last week"
1t took Mildred several years to find
out why they laughed harder than ever,
and why Uncle James said afterward,
with a chuckle.

lean. As matter of fact, cIly a per-
son gifted with microscopic powers of
observation can discover any essential
differences between Canadians, in the
English-speaking progressive provinces,
and Americans-that is, dissimilarities
which are equally marked between the
inhabitants of different sections of ANY
country. Their Is not, for instance,
the striking contrast that exists be-
tween the people of Massachusetts, and
Virginia. 1t is worthy of remark ais,
that there is more in common between
an average Canadian from the east or
west, and an average American mailing
from the same quarter, than there is
between a Londoner and q genuine

former do speak the same tongue, and
