kentucky said he was glad this lnteTna-
tional episode bad been amicebly settled. but
he questioned the right OF the President -
settle questions Of this kind without referring
the matter TO Congress at least to the senate
and he therefore criticized.
Mr.. Hit followed in defense Of the Presi-
dents actions and said that the emergency
could probably be used for tho purpose. The
case was grave one: we ceased diplomatic
relations with Italy. II the fund was ever
properly used it was in this case. which was
an emergency
Mr.. McMillin. of Tenn, said the Presiden-
assumed 10 take fund which was never ex-
pected to be used in the way it had been. and
he had no right TO commit the Government TO
the theory that tor nos and for mobbing in

States was liable. That was q question for
Congress and not for the Executive 10 de-
teTnlne.
Mr.. ChipmaD. of Michigan. submitted an
amendment providing that no portion Of the
emergency fund should be used in the pay

II was for the United States to maintain It's
dignity "a q nation. aud the pecuarltles OF

Tho DIookingbIrd In California.

Some Of my most intimate acquaint-
ances have been the mockingbirds in
the California groves. 1t seems almost
unnecessary to cage them, they are SO
happy among the ever blooming trees,
but cages hang in balconies, at doors
and windows, all about the courts and
under the caves, and passing down the
streets one hears at all hours gushes Of
melody from the wonderful mimickers
in their prisons. 1t is a cheerful sound
yet like better to listen to them as they
fit at will where the red pomegranates
flower, where the wild figs rear their
massive canopies, where they may hide
their young as they choose in the fra
grant orange trees tops.
One splendid fellow has his perch on
a windmill fan opposite my door, where
all day long he pours out trills raptur-

weaving them together, whenever l ap-
pear on the doorstep. know he watches
for my coming, for he apparently boards
his musical culver full of gay darts
keeping silence for intervals when l ar
unseen, letting them fly in an arrowy
shower, as if he would transport me

EIuding the Officers.

Here is an amusing description of one
Of Balzac's periods Of impecuniosity.
Merry, the poet, a great friend of Bal
zac's, was an inveterate gambler and
rarely left the card table before day
break. His way lay past the Cafe de
Paris and for four consecutive mornings
he had met Balzac strolling leisurely
up and down dressed in a pantalon u
pieds trousers not terminating below
the ankle, but with feet in them like
stocldngs) and frock coat with velvet
facings. The second morning Merry felt
surprised at the coincidence, the third
he was puzzled, the fourth he could hold
out no longer, and asked Balzac the
reason of these nocturnal perambula-
tons roundabout the same spot.
Balzac put his hand in his pocket and
produced an almanac showing that the
sun did not rise before $40. Il AM being

A women living in a fiat on Gates
avenue near Stuyvesant is the owner of
dog that is worth having. 1t is a
mongrel cur as devoid Of pedigree as a
paving stone is Of hair. Exactly how
she came in possession of the dog she
cannot say. He happened around one
day in a forlorn and hungry condition,
and being fond Of animals she took pity
on him, fed him and at once the dog
located ON the premises. He is a good
deal in appearance like Smileys frog,
that is to say, there are no points about
this dog to indicate that he is better than
any other dog But, as the sequel will
show, he proved to be an animal Of sin
gular Judgment and good sense. The
other day while roaming in the vicinity
he found a five dollar bill Now by
what process Of reasoning or by previous
observation that dog had learned that
money had a value or that five dollar
bills were worth having, is impossible
to say.
The fact remains, however, that this
intelligent mongrel dog took the bill in
his mouth and, in spite of the efforts of
a number Of street boys who saw the
performance and tried TO get the money
away from him, scooted with it to the
Gates avenue flat and deposited it safely
at the feet of his mistress with a wag Of
his tail, as if 10 say, "You see, I'm able

would not part with that dog now for a
good many five dollar bills. This singu-
