PADDY is A MILITARY DOG.
He Led the Charge in a Fam Gus Battle
OF the Egyptian Campaign.

He Led the Charge In a Famous Battle
OF the Egyptian Campaign.
There is one important participant
in the English military tournament
whose name does not figure on the
programme. And yet he is one Of the
most earnest workers In several Of the
vivid and graphic scenes Of military
life now nightly to be seen at the
Madison Square Garden. He is Paddy
simply, Paddy.
Who is Paddy? A dog-a little black
and-white fox-terrier. He is a thor
oughbred, speaking both physiological
ly and colloquially. His breed Is pure,
his pedigree will pass muster, and he
has the courage, the nerve and the
fearlessness which gain for man the
epithet usually applied to an animal.
He hates music, and when Bandmas-
ter Mayne raises his baton and his
relocated, gold-lace-bedizened musi-
clans strike up Comrades" and play
1t, he seeks the seclusion of the Gar
den's sub-cellar But the blare Of
brass, the trumpet-blast, is the sweet
est of sounds to him. He pricks up
his amputated ears and shifts the air
with delight. The roll Of musketry,
the peal Of artillery, the clanking of
sabres are his music.
He was born on the battlefield of
Aboukir in an artillery leathern buck
ct. He was the property of Lieut..
Kirk, brave officer, who had prom
ised him to Cameron, the Daily Stand
ard war correspondent. Kirk fell, and
Cameron, whose sense Of duty to the
readers of his paper led him to seek
the news in the thick of the fight, re-
ceived his death wound. Capt. w.
Rawson Turner, of the Fifteenth Hus-
sars, who was present at the battle as
volunteer aide, took Paddy and adopt
ed him. The little waif became the
pet Of the expeditionary corps. Bar
naby, of Khiva fame, took fancy to
him, but his master would not part
with him. Capt. Turner returned to
England. and his little foX-terrier grew
up in a military atmosphere. From
the first he took delight in the sound
and smell of powder, for they came to
him with his first breath. When Capt.
Turner, with the restlessness of the
true cavalryman, volunteered for the
Egyptian campaign, he took Paddy
along In the first charge at Suakim
Paddy led the way, his tail wagging.
When his master joined forces with
the selected veterans-rank and file
who have come to America to show us
what Stalwart, sturdy men, dashing
riders and nervy fellows the soldiers
of the mother country are, Paddy, of
course, came along.-New York World.

Fakes at the Fair.

In the Midway Plaisance is probably
the greatest collection of fakes the
world has ever seen. The proprietors
thereof rejoice, however, in the proud
title of "COnceSSiOnarieS" Whenever
1 grew tired of formal sightseeing /
would stroll down the Plaisance (Which
was so popular that everybody soon
got the knack of pronouncinS it cor
rectly) to the Egyptian temple. Here
was the greatest fakir of them all. l
am proud to say he was an American.
In Egyptian raiment he squatted in
front Of the temple, and delivered his
speech as follows:
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the
temple of Luxor the tomb of Rameses
II. You will find his mummy about Ga
most delicious infection of the voice
on this world the fifth one on the
right. On the left the mummy of King
Solomons father-in-law-alsoh his sister
in-law. The sacred dances are about
to begin"
To discover, after all this, that the
mummies at which people were gazing
SO reverentially were nothing but dunn
mics was an unmitigated joy.
One evening after the Egypto-Amer
ican above mentioned had delivered his
speech about the temple of Luxor and
the mummy Of Rameses IL, a man in
the crowd turned to me and asked, SIS
this the German village"
The personnel of the Plaisance shows
reminded me of Thackeray's inventory
of passengers in the White Squall.

He was Made Treasurer.

Scotchmen are famous for being up
to snuff" and here is an old story
which exhibits their native shrewd-
ness, and shows how the collections
were doubled:
In small town in the Midlands
there is rich congregation, which is
not characterized by lavish liberality
Time after time the minister had
vainly appealed to his people to con-
tribute more generously to the funds
Of the church. The members would,
indeed, give something, but it was
nearly always the smallest silver coin
of the realm that was placed on the
plate.
A shrewd Scotchman who had re-
Gently come to the place and joined
the church was not long in noticing
this state of affairs, and a remedy soon
suggested itself to the practical mind
"I'll tell you what" he said to one
of the officials, ''if you max me treas
urer, I'll engage to double the collec-
tions in three months"
His offer was promptly accepted;
and, sure enough, the collections be-
gan to increase, until by the time he
had stated they were nearly twice as
much as formerly.
HOW HdNe you AlanaSeu II, MT.
Sandyman?" said the pastor to him
one day.
Its a great secret" returned the
canny Scot; "but I'll tell you in conf
dence The folk, l saw, maistly gave

The COW is the king Of beasts. The
American eagle flies high, especially
on July 4, but who ever heard Of his
giving milk to raise anything besides
his own offspring? The cow cannot
fly as high as the American eagle, but
the work she does is 40 per cent. the
best She raises the little ones. No
tice the children In n family whern
only a pint of milk a day is bought.
What difference! 1t shows the good
work the COW is doing for the rising

WHAT HARRISON WILL DO.

He VIII Resume His Practice and Lecture
at the Leland Stanford Jr. University.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 3.-Presi-
dent Harrison has answered the ques-
ton what an ex-President shall do.
He is going back to the practice
of his profession and incidental
to that will lecture on law in
the Leland Stanford, Jr., University, of
California. The President has formally
notified Senator Stanford of his accept
ance of the offer, which was made to
him several weeks ago. AT first the
President was not inclined to accept, as
he did not care for the long journey
across the continent. But Senator Stan
ford came to town couple OF weeks ago
and began his personal solicitation for
the President to identity himself with
the university which the Senator found
ed in memory of bis deceased son. He
represented that the lectures would be
SO arranged that Gen. Harrison would
suffer little inconvenience and he pre-
scented in a strong light the de-
Gen. Harrison should connect him
self with its educational institu
tons. So the President finally yielded.
DE id Starr Jordan, vice-president of
tt University, is an old friend, and was
i >rly president of the University of
ma at Bloomington. 1t was he who
we'd the idea of having the Presi-
cture at the university.
=. Harrison's first lecture will be
red some time next month. The
II purse has not been mapped out,
but q time 1t will undoubtedly be
broadened so as to cover the field
of international law. Gen. Harrison
recently told a friend that he would
be glad when the time came to
review the course of his admin
istration, in foreign affairs gen.
orally, as he had become specially inter
ested in international law. Accounts
differ as to the compensation Gen. Har
rison will receive. 1t was stated that
the amount would not be much under
$4,000 per year.
