Major Peter Roman, agent of the Flat
head Indians in western Montana, pur-
chased fine blooded and ugly faced
bulldog, not to guard his pleasant quar-
tiers at the Flatbush agency. but to give
his Indian wards a new subject for
study in the animal kingdom. The ap-
pearance of this strange quadruped
caused as much excitement among these
untutored sons of the forest as behe
moth of the paleozoic age would arouse
by sudden appearance on Main street.
The chiefs held long consultation
over the characteristics of the animal,
and finally decided to call him "a good
bad dog" The first adjective is doubt
less caused by d certain Indian sense of
diplomacy to be exercised in addressing
the animal. while the latter is evidence
of tho red mans regard for truth at all
times. At all events, the name is worth
studying (Mon.) independent.

Danger I'm Reaching Land.

A little boat usually brings its occu-
pants safely within sight of ship or
land. If you are ever cast away by ship
wreck, choose that you may sight ship
gather than land. Only too often the
fierce storm is weathered and the hope
full crew sail over hundreds of miles of
sunny seas, almost as if ON pleasure
trip. until the glad sight of land greets
their eyes and their troubles seem but a
dream of the past, when suddenly they
are plunging through mass of white
and broken water, and amid the roar of
crashing waves the little boat is lifted
and twisted and flung about till dashed
into fragments upon jagged rocks. while
those survivors of terrible storm and
shipwreck, of unoounted miles of open
ocean, are thrown upon the sunny beach
which gladdened their hearts, cruelty
battered or perhaps even lifeless! AL
most always. too. this is due to their not
knowing how to handle their boat at
this crowning, critical moment when but
few hundred yards remain Of thou

Lemon Juice for the Com ple1ion


During this time of year the hands and
face should be carefully cared for Pe0-
pie of light complexion usually suffer
greatly during cold weather from chap
ped hands and faces. There are many
preparations for sale at the drug stores
for chapped hands and all are good
enough, but very simple way to keep
the hands from chapping or becoming
sore is to rub them with the juice of q
lemon. Then wash them well, rub in a
little vaseline or glycerin. and powder
them well with starch.
The lemon juice removes all little par
ticles of dirt from the pores and also
whitens the skin. The occasional use of
lemon juice on both the face and hands
will keep them white and soft, and pre-
vent the necessity of washing them sew
eral times a day with soap. Use soap
sparingly on hands. neck and face dur
ing cold weather. and use only the best,
with tepid water.-Interview in st.
Louis Globe-Democrat."

At the Opera

The orchestra was rendering a famous
intermezzo, and the beautiful dulcet
strains charmed, as it were, the very at
mosphere of the brilliant auditorium
with their sweetness.
Before me sat a young man who lis
tened to the grand, moaning, signing
melody with rapt attention. | glanced
around and noted that everybody was
impressed-even the occupants of the
boxes deigned to listen-but the face of
the young man showed Enthusiastically
that the music stirred him with unusual
emotion.
Slowly, slowly, yet how quickly those
last parting notes died away and were
heard no more
Then followed storm of applause.
A glance over the house disclosed thou
sands of hands-from the less aristo-
cratic ones in the cutlery to the dainty
gloyed ones in the boXes-in animated
demonstration of their owners intense
appreciation of the brilliant musical
conception.
Yet what a mockery was this, coming
when the air was still impregnated with
the subtle melody. How that generous
tribute of approval grated on the ears!
The young man in front of me did not
applaud, nor did the pretty young lady
who was with him, Neither of them
spoke word. Presently the young man
looked around at the demonstrative au-
dience with look of contempt on his
face.
When the house had again become
quiet the young man turned to the
young lady and said: "How charmingl
how exquisite! What beautiful color of
tone and how delicately shadedT
81 am SO glad you like it. George -
she replied sweetly. what beautiful
pale blue, indeed! My very ideal! !
have had my eyes on it all evening""
"On what?" asked the young man in
surprise.
"Why, the charming dress of that
young lady in front of us. Is not that
what you meaRY
"Oh-yes-yes, of course"
Silence followed between these two
souls for the remainder of the evening
| was panied at the young mans dis
tress, and went home soliloquizing on

THE art of conversation consists of the
exercise of two fine qualities. You must
originate, and you must sympathize;
you must possess at the same time the
habit of communicating and listening.
The union is rare, but irresistible.

THERE is kind of aid which it is
immoral for friend to give and equally
immoral for another to receive; it Is the
aid which takes the place of some work
we ought to have done, some energy we
ought to have put forth. some strength
and power of character We ought to have
attained.

THE young wife should make up her
mind to cultivate from the very CON-
mencement of her married life gentle
ness and the soft answer that turneth
away wrath; for she will find in them a
strong armor of defense against that
enemy of whose entrance we all of US,
young and old alike, should beware.
These qualities are not, as some folk
think, signs of weakness, but, on the
contrary, strength. People of loud, blus-
tering speech and manner are obstinate,
never firm; and obstinacy is easily driv-
en- by blind folly, and generally into
roads it never intended to follow.

To instruct child in what is right
and not see to it that he follows it is to

NOTHING is more amiable than true
modesty and nothing more contemplate
than that which is false-the one guards
virtue, the other betraysit. True mod
esty is ashamed to do anything that is
repugnant to right reason; false modesty
is ashamed to do anything that is op-
opsite to the humor Of those with whom
the party converses. True modesty
avoids all that is criminal; false mod
esty, everything that is questionable;
the latter is only general undetermined
instinct--the former is that instinct linn
tied and circumscribed by the rules of
religion.
