Joaquin Ainer's Great Work.

For four years." says Joaquin Mil
Ter, II have been getting ready for the
work of my life-nanely my life of
Christ in verse. AS nearly as possible
| will follow Bible lines, and will incor-
porate the best of the parallels, together
with Psalms and Proverbs. will in
vent some parallels of course, fitting
them in the places where they belong.
There is so much romance, beauty and
poetry in the Bible that it will not be
at all difficult for me to select my
themes and subjects. Christ was a
beautiful man, lived among the most
beautiful of women and the noblest
surroundings. lean imagine those tall,
dark skinned, beautiful jewish girls,
beautiful women, who can be painted
in poetry and in song / expect it will
take me several years 10 complete the
work. Exchange,

Kept Drinking the Tea.

Many years ago French gentleman
was invited to 5 o'clock tea at Bath,
where the guests sat around the room
in a stiff circle holding their teacups in
their left hands and eating hot buttered
waffles and Clipped smoked venison
with the fingers of their right from
plates in their laps. Walters handed
about tea and coffee, and the French
gentleman, unaware that the position
of the teaspoon in the empty cup re-
turned to the waiter indicated whether
or not it was to be replenished, politely
drank fourteen cups OF tea, and then
in despair pocketed the cup and saucer
until the general rising of the company
enabled him to rid himself of them,-

Jay GnnId,s Wealth..

Who is the richest man living1 Wall
street would probably say that Jay
Gould exceeds any other millionaire in
the total of bonds and stocks in his
possession, reckoning these securities
at their par value. But big percent
age of his fortune, tens of millions of ii,
in fact, is in securities that are consid-
erably below par, and that do not pay
dividends
His ownership of enormous blocks of
stocks is matter Of general knowledge,
But If all his paper possessions were
dumped on the market at one time in
settlement of his estate great would be
the fall thereof. That would be a
sacrifice OF values indeed. - Blakely
Hall in New York Truth.

Jim Mcmahon. who carries the mai

his horses back, aud his dog. a big
courageous animal, brimful Of q 5h|
and ready to tackle any t,iing from Q
nousc to bear was tcott.ng ahead OF
the horse, occasionally making short
excursions into tho forest through
which the roads winds on tine trail OF
some Wild aai.al
Suddenly. a'ccr hsviug made a dash
jhrough the brush. the dog came tear

and fierce barlss. his hair bsi ding and
avincing unnistaSable signs of terror.
Jim at once surnised that the cause OF

20 an appniition Of some ulusuall!
large wild animal.
Spurring his horse he rode up to the
point where the dog was still growing,
and encouraged the animal to attack
the unseen cause of the commotion.
The dog responded by a fierce rush into
the brush, and in a few minutes ap.
peared near the road in savage con
tlict with large cougar. After n short
fierce round both went down. the dog
On top. His master knew, however
by his screams and growls that the d.;
was not having the fight al his own
way.
The cougar had leaped and fastened
mis- cleaning fangs on the dogs head
while his hind feet, with sharp claws.
were tearing into the dogs side, and
were making the hair and the blood
ay. The horse, which had now seen
the wild animal, was plunging and
rearing in terror. Jumping from his
saddle, Jim drew his revolver and went
to the dogs rescue.
Cougar and dog were rolling around
and round, now one on top and then
the other, and moving SO swiftly it was
hard to distinguish them. They were
all tangled up in a maze of hair, blood
and blood curdling yelps and screams.
jim wanted to kill the cougar, but !
didn't want to kill the dog. So he !
waited for an opportunity, and then,
raising his big revolver, pulled the trig
ger, but the gun missed fire. Again he
aimed and pulled, with the same result.
In his excitement he had forgotten that !
several Of the chambers of the pistol !
were empty. Luckily for man and dog
the cougar at this time released his |
hold on the dog and sprang into the
brush and disappeared. Remounting
and whipping up his horse, Jim rode off
with the dog to safer place. An ex-
animation of the faithful animals in
juries revealed the fact that one of its
eyes had been gouged out, the side of
its head lacerated and its neck and |
body badly cut and torn by the fangs
and claws of the cougar gar.-Chehatis

The Georgia "cracker. ;.

One clever, original manufacturer
for five years devoted head, heart and
purse to ameliorate the condition of his
operatives-the worst class in the COM
munity. They had no homes; he bought
and built houses. which fell TO pieces
through neglect or were burned up in
drunken orgies. When their dwell
ings were again repaired the crackers
felt out of place in a setting of order
and neatness, and .jes ter make things
sorter homelike.' as was afterward
naiyely explained, they kicked out the
panels of the doors, smashed the win
dows, riddled the walls. and cut up the
floors for kindling wood. With drift
wood for fuel lying almost at their
gates, if they have gate. rather than
walk to and from the fence if they
have fence, the proletarian inhabitants
prefer to destroy their landlords prop
erty. An attempt to utilize their hor-
ticultural instinct was unavailing. The
gardens were fenced. the tenants
burned the plank; the plats were
plewed, not seed was planted; and
when, undiscouraged. the employer
planted the gardens himself. the people
turned in the hogs with the comment,

Unventilated Cellars.

Aud just here another word about
the cellar, to which reference has all
ready been made. There is no reason
why the cellar should be an unventi-
lated hole under the house. with no
outlet except through the living rooms
of the home above. Yet how often.
and not alone in farming districts. by
any means, is it the fact that on open
ing the cellar door one Instructive
ly recoils from the damp. musty
odor. heavily freighted with the aroma
of decaying vegetables. rancid,sour and
obnoxious things. Let no one imagine
that these foul vapors are closely shut
in when the doors are fastened; they
steal through cracks and creyices in
the floors and about the partitions; they
