They Help . Restaurant Keeper 20 Run
His Place.
A New York newspaper tells of two
small black-and-tan dogs that are of
great assistance to a restaurant keeper
who owns them. They are very bright
dogs and have memories that are truly
remarkable. Their self-appointed task
Is u wait In the dining-room until
guest comes in, and, il there Is no
waiter present, one of them will rush
into the kitchen or pantry, or wherever
else a disengaged waiter may be, and by
means of two sharp, shrill barks, give
notice of the customers arrival. The
dogs also see that customers do not
leave without settling their accounts,
for IL the landlord is not present at the
time of customers departure they
make il their business to find him and
inform him that he is needed at the
desk
A touching story of dogs sympathy
for one ofsits canine companions is told
by the London Spectator. The story is
that butcher of Brodick, In the isle of
Arran, was the poesessor of two collie
dogs, one Of which was a mere puppy
and the other advanced in years The
older dog having become useless, met,
IL would seem, an unmerited fate in
being drowned in the sea of Arran by
the master, VINO had grown weary of
him.
A few days later his body was washed
ashore, and was discovered by the
younger dog with manifestations of
great delight, for the puppy had sorely
missed his companion. Immediately
upon making the discovery OF his
friends body the puppy ran quickly off
10 the butcher-shop. and, watching his
opportunity, grasped huge piece of
meat in his Jaws ard made of with II.
Investigation showed that he had
stolen il not for himself bat for his
dead companion. for he was observed TO
carry it 20 where the other lay, and to
place 1t before the mouth Of the unfor-
tunate collie. Death was evidently n
thing unknown To him, and he doubt
less thought that the luscious piece of
meat would revive the other and restore
to him the friend he had lost--Chicago

ETDset His Mind.

Several men were in the drug store and
were relating incidents wherein druggists
had sold poison by mistake. One of them
dwelt at length upon the mysterious force
that seemed to impel men to do just the
thing they fully intend not to do. 1t was
this great sense Of caution on the part of
druggists that led them to administer poi
son when they least intended to do so. The
young drug clerk behind the counter was
listening to the conversation when lady
entered the store and asked to purchase
some salts. A cloud of uncertainty, born
of the stories he had listened to, seemed to
be over the clerks mind as he filled the
prescription. The lady had been gone but
a few minutes when something startling
dawned on the clerks mind.
"Gentlemen, watch this store for me till
I return he said, as he dashed out of the
door and up the street. They were sure
something serious had occurred. Presently
the clerk returned, his hands trembling
and perspiration on his brow.
Gentlemen" he said, in explanation of
his absence, "that lady who called wished
to purchase salts. but your poisoning
stories SO upset me that"-
"You sold her sugar of lead" said two
men in the same breath,

Selecting Wall Paper.

In buying wall paper it Is best to con-
sider the. purpose for which you wish to
use it. If your room is to contain many
pictures plain paper of neutral tint will
set them off to greatest advantage. White
paper, with delicate rings and patterns Of
gold or silver, makes an admirable back
ground for water colors Or colored photo
graphs. Figured or highly decorated pa
pers should be used only when one has few
ornaments for the wall, in which case they
form an ornament Of themselves
In choosing paper for q room, it is al
ways well to consider what color FREEDOM
mates in the carpet and furniture; buy
your paper to match or harmonic with
the prevailing tint, and you will be sur
priced at the beauty of the effect. Expen-
sive papers are ugly II they are gaudy OF
not of the tone of the other furnishings OF
the room. For q simply furnished room,
an inexpensive but harmonious covering
will be most suitable. Avoid all gaudy
patterns fer sleeping rooms, and les the
tints be as soft and warm as possible; dark
paper in a bedroom is likely to make the
occupant gloomy and i'll tempered Alice

Shortening Up Railroad Lines.

I suppose that most people who travel
think we travel over the same line, if We
are in the employ of one company, all the
time, that was originally laid down. That
is, they think that when a railroad is built
it never changes its course. Most of the
trunk lines are built in hurry in this
country. After they have been in opera
ton for awhile the company begins to
figure on how they can make better time.
This is not done altogether by increasing
the speed, as some may suppose, but by
what we call shortening up the line. Take
this division on which am now running
for example. have been here ever since
the road was in operation and the road has
been shortened on my run nearly eight
miles. and it has been shortened between
Chicago and ST. Joe, Mo-, forty miles. The
public don't know it. They think we are
running faster than we used to- We are
making a little better time than we did
but the principal reason why we are is be-
cause we have shortened the line.-An En-
gineer in Chicago Tribune.

An Historic Spot.

Beauchamp tower, which is part of the
great fortress known as the Tower, in
London, stands on the west side of the
Green, bowlder paved quadrangle, in

A few trees rise among the powders. The

One wonders if, as these men and women
gazed for the last time at the gray walls
around them and the clouds driven across
the blue sky, they saw the justice of God
above the power Of man.
