HOW TO TREAT A SWEETHEART

Because a man love you is that any
reason Why youshould be inconsiderate
of him7 writes Ruth Ashemore in her
"SiGe Talks with Girls" department
in the February Ladies' Home Journal.
Because he loves you, shall you give
no thoughts to tho words you say to
him?
Because he loves you, shall you laugh
at his affection, and think his express
sions of it are funny3
Because he loves you, shall he be the
least to be thought off
Because he loves you, shall he be
treated so that he wonders, after all,
if you have any love for him?
Because he love you, shall you seem
to put a tax on him in the way of
presents and entertainments that, it is
just possible, he cannot affords
Because he loves you, shall you
never think it necessary to say the
sweet words Of thanks for the cour-
tesies he shows youf
OCNdOoCH NO AOECO w. SAAoAA yON AOO
think it necessary to be at your best
and sweetest for him!
Oh, you foolish girls! If this love is
worth having, if this love is real and
true, if it is really your sweetheart
who has come, then you possess great
treasure, a treasure which you may
lose some day if you are not careful.
Love is lost by thoughtlessness, by
reconsideration, and by selishness
more than by any other way. Do
you want to lose your love? 1t is
like those old Venetian glasses, fine.
slender and delicate; pour into one all
the great wealth of your affection and
the glass will hold it, but let one drop
of the poison Of self-wil Orindifference
get there and the glass is shattered
into a thousand pieces.

A CANINE HERO.
Im~mortalizes Himself by Saving a Child
From Going Astray.

Immortalizes Himself by Saving a Child
From Going AStray.
A New Orleans dog has just immor-
talized himself among a large circle of
friends who have admired him for a
long time, but who are now quite en-
thusiastic about him. He is the prop
erty of a Mr.. Dupre, living on Common
street, and is a handsomer red shepherd,
noted for his sagacity and his attention
to Mr.. Dupre's baby girl.
1t happened the other morning, how
ever, that Mr.. .Dupre called Don with
him when they left the house and they
were gone until noon. When they re-
turned the father found the household
much alarmed over the absence of the
baby, who had not been seen since he
left; but they had raised no alarm as
yet, because they thought he might
have taken the child with him. Mr..
Dupre had only time to notice that
Don, after running about the yard I'M
ca sly for a moment, had leaped the
fence and was nOsing around on the
sidewalk. Without paying any further
attention to the dog he hurried to the
police station to give the alarm, and
set out from there on a search for the
child, Twenty minutes later he found
her. Don wa, trying to lead her home
ward, much against her will. Some
times he took her hand in his mouth,
holding it so gently that there was not
even d print of his teeth on her tender
skin, and walking beside her as long
as she would permit. When she re-
sisted and tried to pull away he caught
her dress and held her fast till she con-
sented to so on again. Once the little
lady was seized with fierce resentment,
and beat Don in the face with her tiny
fists, but Don merely shut his eyes and
held fast to her dress. His patience
never deserted him and he finally ar
rived at the Dupre mansion with his
charge.

He announces that the time has come

while foreign powers are dividing
Africa among themselves" and con-
cludes with a hope that Jesus Christ
will dispose the hearts of Europeans so
that they will be reasonable and stay
away.
Menelik II. is a son of King HselOu,
who reigned in the south Of the cOun
try. so by the union of the two powers
and conquest of much other territory
he is the most powerful ruler the nation
ever had. His army consists of about
100, 900 men, of whom 40, COO armed in
the best European fashion, with re-
peating rifles, a mitrailleuse and riaed
cannon. Abyssinia also manufactures
it's own powder, so the agreement of
European powers to keep war-like ma
terials out of Africa has no effect there.
Menelik is the son of a beggar wo-
man whom his father took a fancy for,
and she still lives in great honor, the
mother of the most powerful monarch
in Africa. The king is an ardent adj
vocate of introducing European civil
zatiUn, and to encourage his people
mastered the trade of clock making
and also learned enough about gunnery
to put together his mitrailleuse. His
country is among the most interesting
in the world. For ages it was a sort
of Christian island in an ocean of
paganism, and the claims of it's King
to direct descent from Solomon and
the Queen of Sheba have often been
matters of inquiry, song and romance.

A REBUFF FROM BILL NYE.

The visit of Bill Nye, the humorist,
to the city has brought to the surface
of a newspaper mans memory a GER
tain funny incident which occurred
several years ago when the great fun
maker was on a lecturing tour through
the West. Nye had stopped in a small
city, where he was booked to lecture,
and in the eveningth h only daily paper
in the place sent it's reporter down
to interview him. The reporter be-
longed to that class of painfully fresh
young men, and he thought an oppor-
tune time had arrived when he might
try some Of his rural wit and fun on
Bill Nye. When he arrived at the
hotel he was informed that Nye was
eating his dinner, and upon going back
he discovered the pink-pated punster
just finishing his dessert. Approach
ing him he tapped him lightly on the
shoulder and remarked, in tones loud
enough for the entire roomful to
hear:
"Sir, allow me to draw nigh (Nye)
to youG'
Nye never smiled, but, dropping his
knife and fork, arose, and, facing the
bright young man, said in that inimit-
able way of his
Young man, you should not waste
your wit upon the dessert air. You
should keep it close and then syndicate
it for deoderizing purposes"
The young man retreated amid the
jeers of the diners, while Nye resumed
his seat and continued his repast.

TO SET A TABLE.

Breakfast being the plainest meal of
the day, the arrangement of the table
should always be simple, writes Maria
Parloa in her domestic department in
the February Ladies' Home Journal.
The cloth should be spotless. At each
PERSONS seat place a knife, fork, tea
spoon or dessertspoon, tumbler and
and napkin, and if fresh fruit is to be
served, a finger bowl if there be no
servant. If you have a waitress, she
will place the finger bowls on as you
finish with the fruit. It fresh fruit be
served there must also be placed at
each seat a fruit knife and plate. The
knives and spoons should be placed at
the right and the forks and napkins at
the left: the tumblers to be at the
point of the knives. There should be
space between the knife and fork for a
breakfast place. Have the dish of
fruit in the center of the table. Have
