A JEALOUS DOG.

The Affection of Husband and Wife
Proves Too Much for Canine Pet
That dogs are affectionate is univer-
sally allowed, and that they are jealous
no observer can doubt but that a dog
may show true philosophy in accepting
q hard situation is occasionally proved,
says London paper.
A young man had for some years
owned dog which was his constant
companion. Recently, however, he
married, and moved his wife and dog
into a house on the opposite side of the
street from his fathers house, his old
home,
The dog was not happy, for attentions
which had once been his own We're now
given to the young bride. His master
tried to reconcile him to the altered
state of affairs, and the bride en-
deavored to win his affection, but he
constantly showed his displeasure and
misery.
One day the master came home and
sat down, putting his arm about his
wife. Jack was lying by the fire, and
he at once rose, approached the two,
and made the usual exhibition of his
disapproval.
'sWhy, Jack, said his master, 'this
is all right; she is good girl" And as
he spoke he patted his wife's arm.
Jack looked up at him, turned away,
and left the room. In moment they
heard noise, and going into the hall
found him dragging his bed down
stairs. He reached the front door and
whined to be let out. The door was
opened and he dragged the bed down
the steps and across the street to his old
home, where he scratched for admit
tance. Since then he has never re-
turned to his master, and has refused
all overtures toward reconciliation.

That Is the Number of Spouses an Aged

''How many times have you been
married, George?'' asked the reporter
for the Indianapolis News of an ancient
darby.
Gas far as can remember now have
had thirty-four wives. I was married to
bright mulatto woman in Montgom-
cry, Va, and we had one child. But 1
was sold away from them and have
never seen or heard from either of them
since"
'eWhat kind of ceremony did you
have to go through"
''Bless you, we had no ceremony.
When negroes got married the mans
friend held one end of broomstick and
the woman's friend the other. Then the
bridegroom would jump over it and the
bride would follow suit, and then they
would kiss each other. Then they were
married and the jollifcation began. So
far as 1 can remember l am the father
of fifty-two children, but, like my
wives, they were always taken away
from me or / from them. One of my
masters, George Oliver, tied my wife to
a tree and whipped her with black
snake in terrible manner. was right
there, handcuffed, and could not help
at all. When I asked him not to whip
her l was told to keep still or 1 would
get a double dose. The last time |
heard of Oliver he was a beggar, going

Hindoo Penitence.

The Hindoos care more for the brute
than for human creation. An ahir-i
e., cowherd-was carrying a calf and
let it drop, breaking the neck of the an
imal. The brahmins communicated
him for six months; no member of his
family was allowed to shelter or feed
him; he had to make number of pill
grimages in mendicant's garb, with q
rope around his neck and the tail of the
calf he had killed on his shoulder. Re-
turning home after six months he had
to live In hut by himself built for the
purpose. There he must be purified. A
barber shaved the hair off the head and
face of the penitent and pared his nails
Another man came and burned the
hair and nails and set the temporary
hut on fire. After that the malefactor
was covered all over with COW dung
and had to battle in the river until his
skin was clean, when he could come
out. Even then he was only purified,
but not yet reinstated in the caste of
cowherds He had first to feast fifty
brahmins and one hundred Of his
brother ahirs before he could be re-
ceived back in the fold.

A AlaHwAYMAN's COURTESY.

Gives a Man Whom nc hobDeu money
Enough for His Car Fare.
A well-lSnown physician tells this
story of his experience with highway
man in a dark corner of the city not
long ago, says the New York Tribune.
He was returning from a call on one Of
his patients down town late at night
just as he arrived at dark and lone
some place burly rufian stepped from
behind the corner of building and
greeted the doctor with: 'Give me all
the money you've got, and do it quick,
tool" and the fellow significantly swung
heavy club which he held in his hand
The doctor is an active member of one
of the big athletic clubs, and being
somewhat belligerent by nature his first
thought was to resist the highwayman's
demand. He looked the man over
quickly, however, and his first resolu-
ton wavered when he saw the fellows
giant proportions. Then he hurriedly
looked up and down the street. Not a
soul was in sight. The street lamps on
two corners had been put out, and he
plainly saw that the ruffian had laid his
plans well. The man watched the doc
tor making his observations, and
after he had finished he said
again, sneeringly: ''Well, you'd better
give it up, and do it blanlSed quick,
toor' The doctor decided that the
cheapest way out of the scrape would
be to give up his money, so he reached
in his pocket and gave the highwayman
roll of bills containing about twenty
dollars. The highwayman took it and
coolly walked away, and the physician
started ON his way home again. But
after he had gone few steps he sud
denly remembered that he did not have
a cent with which TO pay his car fare,
and his home was four or five miles

ABOUT ELEPHANTS.
May De Used Here for Food and for Tran
portation Purposes.

May De Used Here for Food and for Trans
portation Purposes.
There is a man in California by the
name of Newbuary who has great
hope in the future of the elephant, and
he wants to introduce the animal into
that state All African explorers speak
highly of elephant steaks The full
grown elephant weighs about seven
thousand pounds, and Mr.. Newbuary
estimates that he can count on some
three thousand pounds of first-class
meat from each animal. In twenty-five
years he expects to see elephant meat
for sale in all markets.
Steaks as big as mattresses will hang
up on all sides, and French elephant
chops with handles on them six feet
long win lie on the counters. Elephant
hides, he thinks, will be found valuable
for leather, slightly thick, perhaps, but
it can be split. Then there is the ivory,
always in good demand. The clip of
wool from an elephant will, of course,
he admits, be small, but there were
formerly woody animals of the elephant
kind, and he does not see why careful
breeding may not revive the species.
Fine all California elephants wool
clothing he considers possibility of the
future. But it is not alone in these
ways that Mr.. Newbuary expects to
be able to teach California to profit
from the elephant. 1t is a powerful and
intelligent animal, and as beast Of
burden will be as successful in Cali
fornia as in India. 1t can be readily
broken to harness, and can draw enor-
nous loads. Nor does he despair al
together of the elephant as driving
animal.
He thinks it not unlikely that the
California trotting elephant may be
evolved, as the American trotting horse
has been. Cabmen may yet call out:
'Keb, sir, kebi Nice closed keb and
rapid elephanti'' OF course as saddle
beast the elephant has proved his supe-
riority in the Orient. Its gait, how
ever. is at present irregular, but Mr.
Newbuary sees no reason why it may
not be taught graceful canter and a
swinging gallop. But the most prdeti-
cal place where the elephant can be put
to immediate usefulness Mr.. Newbuary
considers to be the orange groves.
.'ln picking oranges" says Mr.. New
buary, ''the trained elephant would be
a great success. He would come as a
boon to orange growers. Hecould readi-
lv reach all over the trees with his trunk
and carefully pick the fruit and place it
In a bag on his back. He couldpick more
oranges than ten men, and would never
strike for higher wages or flirt with the
hired girl. If were asked to name in
three words the hope of California for
the future, should answers Ele-
plants, elephants, elephants"
