A Dog Philosopher.

Not long since had an excellent CO
pOrtunity of observing one of the rovers.
l am not learned in canine varieties.
but should suppose he was some kind
of mongrel terrier Anyhow, he was
an odd little creature, with body de-
cidedly long in proportion to the legs,
with gray and brownish coat, which
was SO thin as to give him a NANCY
look, and, lastly. with O moist, senti-
mental eye If dogs had their religious
sects one would set him down as a
Methodist. He belonged. with two
other dogs to a friend of mine, who
used to bring them to my house when
picking Inc up in his morning walk.
The odd little creature contrasted
strongly with another of the trio, who
was about his own size, in the sedate-
ness OF his manner and his philosophic
indifference to small canine worries.
Thus it was not uncommon to see
his companion mentally upset by the
sight OF butchers cart proceeding, as
he no doubt thought, at ON indecorous-
ly wild pace. Or his usual serenity
would now and again be rudely broken
by the appearance of q cat, or even that
apparently harmless creature, the cats
victim, the sparrow, which he would
pursue in frenzy of rage, leaping in
inpotent wrath underneath the tree to
which the nimble little creature would
naturally betake itself for shelter.
None of these things moved our ca
nine philosopher. He paid not the
slightest heed to his companions vio-
lent rushings and markings. As became
a thinker, his voice was rarely heard.
l have seen him set upon by his more
mercurial companion In fit of OBJ
streperous jocosity, yet with admirable
self restraint he would suffer himself
to be barked at. knocked against, and
even scrambled over, without uttering
the slightest protest. Itoecurred to me
that, like recent British logician, he
found the racket of the street favorable
to philosophical abstraction. Cornhill
Magazine.

THOUGHT HE WAS cHuoRoFoRMeD,;

What Came of the Use OF u Moth Pre-
ventivo by a Washington Woman.
There is one lady in Washington
who when she puts away her winter
furs at the end of the season will
probably not use moth balls to pro-
tect them. The pungent odor of this
detergent has a peculiar effect on
some organisms Us she has learned by
most disagreeable experience during
her Christmas shopping.
The lady in question is the wife Of a
government official of high standing.
Just before Christmas she took from
clothes press a fur trimmed cloak
which had been laid away since last
winter, and forgot 10 remove from its
secret recesses the moth balls with
which 1t was powerfully charged. At
tired In the garment she entered a
jewelers. establishment recently opened
on pennsylvania avenue and asked to
be shown some diamond rings.
The proprietor was alone in his store
AS the lady leaned over the tray to e.
anime the rings q Whit of the odor of
moth balls struck him. With a hur-
ried motion he thrust the tray of rings
back in the case and rushed to the
door, where he stood for some time in
fating his lungs with the crisp, wintry
air. Then, returning, he ran to his
telephone. All this time the lady GUS
toner was standing in wide eyed won
deEment AS soon as an opportunity
offered she asked him if he was sick.
and he gasped out that he had been
overcome by sudden sense of suffocar
ton, but was better now.
The lady resumed her purchasing,
and selected costly ring with a re-
quest that it be semitic her husbands
address As she left the store she no
taced that some one was apparenSfy
following her. In an hours time stse
reached her residence, and was aston
ished to find her husband closeted with
a detective, who had informed him
that it had been reported at police
headquarters that a genteelly dressed
diamond thief had attempted to spray
chiorofor1n IN the face of a jeveler. and
when detected had given her address
as his house. The detective had Just
completed a description of the lady and
her address as furnished to the police
when the lady herself entered and was
at once greeted by the official as his
wife
The explanations that followed made
the situation scarcely less embarrassing.
Inc ring was returned to the jeweler
with an edmonton to be more careful
m future in noting the difference in
edor between chloroform and moth
balls.-St. Louis Republic.

Inexpenskve Tit Bits,

You often meet with men who give
you the idea that they would die rather
than eat something to which they are
unaccustomed. How foolish and mar
row minded this seems! Who can tell
to what straits of destitution one may
some day be reduceds To be sure, our
civilization is 80 very mighty in these
days that we can, with fair presamp-
ton of success, challenge Dame Nature
herself to bring US within trembling
distance of famine. Still, it is as well
to be prepared. Have you ever tried
salad of buttercups-blossom and
roots-or a dish Of speckled snails; or
a tender kitten, killed in the first month :;
or a horsedesh steak, Save the last.
these ''plats" are very inexpensive, and
not at all an insult to the stomach.
None OF them are nauseating, and they
might well serve as a preliminary to q

Estate Chronicle of Friday.l

After the eXpiratsOn of the
morning hour, Senator Turner
arose and read from The State
Chronicle part Of the proceed
ings Of Wednesday relating to
Senator Buffers criticism on the
action of Lieutenant-Gover
Holt in appointing the commit
tee Of the Senate on the Rail-
road Commission bill. Mr.. Tur-
ner characterized the criticism
as unjust to the presiding officer
OF the Senate. He continued
at some length, showing that
the actions of President Holt in
every instance had been fair;
that he had never seen a man
preside with more dignity and
impartiality than President
Holt, and added that in select
ing the committee, the 1t. Gov.
had consulted several Senators
and sought only to constitute
committee in the interest of Sc
curing wise legislation.
Mr.. Butler made an explana-
tion and said that in the article
in the newspaper he was unin-
tentionally and incorrectly re-
ported, and that he had not re-
Elected upon the 1t. Gov. because
his language simply referred to
a fact and not to the intentions
of the presiding officer. That
he heartily concurred in what
Senator Turner had said. That
no man esteemed the presiding
officer more than he did. That
his language had been miscon-
strued. If not HE had been un-
fortunate in his expressions. lie
had merely said incidentally
that if the House COMMITTEES
had been constituted as the SEN
ate con- nit tee was, that the bill
would not have been reported
in the shape that it came before
the Senate, and in concluding,
he said 81 stated this as a fact
because it is u fact that the com
mlttee stood that way in refer
ence to reporting the bill"
