The summer girls in vogue again down By tho
Glad IN soft lawns and broad straw hats and
ribbons, too, galore.
She smiles on every man that comes, she beams
upon the boys
And never seems 10 lose at all her wondrous
equipolse.
She walks upon tho sandy beach the while the
moon looks down
And says the things to Tommy Hicks she said
last night to Brown.
She gives young links O deal of hope, and
Tompkins feels thnt he,
From what she says, alone can fill her heart
with ecstasy.
Young Brokely's manly bosom with a won-
drous gladness swells
To note the lovclight In her eyes while munch-
ing caramels
Which from tho heated city he that day has
brought to her,
Just as, indeed. that self same light makes Will
kins' pulses stir.
And In the ballroom every night she waltzes
with Jack Vane
As IL she never, never hoped to dance the
waltz again,
Though later on the hotel porch she chances at
Perrine
AS though sho thought that he alone of ali
men was divine.
Such triHing with these manly hearts seems
very wrong, but then
We must remember Brown and Hicks ct al.
arc summer men,
And this Is by no means their first short visit
to the shore.
Each knows her well, for each has met the
summer girl before.

RESCUED BY A DOG.

A good story is told in Dumb Animals
OF red Irish setter dog belonging to a
Washington gentleman. The dog, how
ever. lives on PenobScot Bay all the year
round, in charge Of fisherman. Not
long ago the dog, whose name is PIT,
rescued no fewer than seven persons
from q fishing smack that had been
thrown on reef in heavy gale. The
smack was wedged on one of the reefs
IN Great Spoon Island, about two hun
dred feet from the shore. The men
hoisted signals of distress, and were In
momentary danger of being swept away.
Tremendous waves were running, and
the crowd Of excited fishermen on shore
knew that it would be fatal for them to
attempt rescue, as no BOAT in their
posse sion could live in that sea. Sud-
denly the one who had in his care the
dog Pat bethought him that the dog hal
been taught to not only retrieve, but to
tow boats from one point to another,
and often when boat would get aurl't
he would he sent for it, and he would
run his nose under the painter until he
would come to the end Of it, and he
would take it in his teeth and fetch the
boat to shore
Pat was at once called. A long cod
line WIS attached to piece Of ath and
flung as fan as possible into the water.
Pat promptly sprang in, swan to it,
and brought it to the shore. Several
times he repeated the performance. The
fishermen were in DIES pair. The waves
were splashing 81 high they could not
direct the dng's attention to the men on
the reef. Finally Pat seemed to com
prehend that there was something more
serious on hand than he at first thought.
He raised his head and looked intent;
over the wafer. His eye caught sight
of the boat with its signal of distress
and the waves dashing over it.
When the lath with the cod-line at
tached was again thrown into the water
Pat at once sprang after it, took thu
lath in his teeth. and instead of turning
to the sb0r-, struck out through the
roaring surf to the reef. Many times he
was buried under the waves, but after
few minutes of intense suspense he was
seen from the shore clambering up the
side of the reef, and a great shout wen1
up as the imptrilled sailors took hold Of
him and lifted him into the boat, in ar
almost exhausted condition. In brie
time a strong rope wa attached to ths
cod line. The men on shore were sig
nailed to haul away, the rope was made
fast to the reef and the shore, and ont
by one the men passed hand over hanC
from their place of danger, the brave
dog following when he had got hi:
fecond wind.

GENEROUS INDIAN BOYS.

Last year Rev. f. Il. Young visited
his former mission field among the
Hudson Bay Indians, and took along,
as presents for the boys, many pc ket
knives. TO induce them to learn to sing
he offered a half dozen of these to the
SIX best singers among the lads; and a
day was set for the trial Among the
pr yes was one four bladeI knife, better
and far more costly than the others,
though all were good.
Forty boys enter ed the tIiAl; but one
by one they dropped out, until only six
remained. These sang so well that the
jud res could not deciue which should
have the highest prize. Though they
tried again and again there was no de
cision.
One of the six was cripple, weak
and almost helpless. In the days OF
savage life he would not have been
allowed to live, but his parents were
Christians, ana poor Jimmy had been
tenderly nursed by his mother, and
cared for BY his father, 50 that he re-
gar'led himself equal to other boys,
except in physical sports.
After a number of trials, in which none
of the six proved himself better than the
hers as a singer, one asked Mr.. Young
if he might speak. Given permission,
he said:
missionary, we fve," pointing to all
but jimmy, ''are we'll and strong. But
Jimmy is a cripple. He cannot help it,
He cannot run through the woods, nor
SWIM, nor skate. nor share in our sports.
While We are away he must stay at home.
But he can whittle; and he likes to
make bows a4d arrows; and his are
better than ours. So, if you will, please
give Jimmy the best knife, the one with
four blades; and we will be glad to have
one apiece of the Others"
The best prize was handed to the
cripple boy Jimmy took it in silence
but his eyes, turned toward his com
panions, told more than words could
that he was thankful.-L Harper's Young

Why Oh Stoves Explode.

Just as regularly as the summer
season comes round numb@ress Snail
Tres are repurte1 in the newspapers
Is having been caused by the eXplo-
zion OF OIL stoves. In such cases what
tea!ly happens is generally only this;
That a person PUSHES into Kitchen
where there is an oil stove, SEES the
stove envrloped in flame, and, catch
Ing it up, dumps it bodily out of the
nearest window. The stove is broken
10 pieces by that proceeding, but
there la, been no explosions; in fact,
the dealers say that Oil stoves never
explode.
The trouble seems to he that the
people do not take proper care OF the
ttOves. Instead Of cleaning them
from time TO time, as in the case OF
lamps, they neglect them and allow
them to become clugged up with a
coating Of DUST and OIL. That mix
ture is very intlammable, and if it
remains about the wicks, it will
eventually take fire. In order Tor
the stove to explode, there must be a
sudden ignition Of gas generated
