"A funny story is told of Belva
Lockwood, the female lawyer, of
Washington. A witty fellow was
once her opposing counsel, and when
he desired to refer to the Hon. Belva,
was perpIexed. He couldn't say my
brother" as he did of the lawyers
who wore pants. He didn't like to
say my sister, out of respect to that
expression. He sent smile over the
room by referring to Belva as my
sister-in-l law" but she certainly look
ed daggers at him.

THE RUNAWAY BOY.

Richard Malcolm Johnston, a po-
pular Southern writer, recently read
some of his stories at indianapolis,
after being introduced to an audience
by James Whitcomb Riley as follows:
There was once boy, an aggriev-
ed, unappreciated boy, who grew to
dislike his own home very much, and
found his parents not at all up to the
standard of his requirements as a son
and disriplinarian. He brooded over
the matter, and one morning before
breakfast climbed over the back fence
and ran away. He thought of the
surprise and remorse of his parents
when they discovered that he had in
deed gone, and he pictured in rain
bow colors the place he would make
for himself in the world. He would
show his parents that he would not
brook their ill-treatment, and that he
could get along better without them
than they could without him. Some
way this feeling of eXhilaration died
out as the long hot day wore on
There came Il time when other boys
went home to dinner. He raided a
neighhorin@ orchard. The afternoon
seemed endless. \ knotted, rigid sort
of an aching spot came into his throat
that seemed to hurt worse when he
didn't notice it than when he did
1t was q very curious, self-aSsertiVe.
opinionated sort of pain.
1T was nearly dark when the strug-
gle was given up and the boy slowly
walked along the dusty road toward
home. When he reached the wood
pile he gathered up a load of wood
and carried it in with him. The hir-
ed girl was washing the supper dish
es, but she did not seem glad to see
him, in fact, did not seem to have no.
ticed that he had been away. He
sauntered carelessly into the pantry,
but the cupboard was locked. He went
out in the back yard and washed his
feet at the rain-barrel. Every thing
seemed pleasanter than it ever had
before. The firefiies fitting among
the grape-vines, the reflection of the
stars in the rain-barrel were sooth-
ing to the tired boy. Then he walk
ed straight into the old sitting room.
His father did not look up from his
paper his mother was so busy sewing
she didn't notice his entrance.
''He sat meekly down ON the edge
of a chair. Why didn't somebody
say something? He was ready to be
scolded or punished, anything rather
than this terrible silence. If the clock
would only strike, it would be a re-
lief He heard the boys shouting far
down the street, but had no desire to
join them-no, never again in the
world. He just wanted to stay in of
nights right there at home always
He coughed and moved to attract
attention, but no one heard him nor
looked: up: He couldn't remember
any prior silence that at all approach
ed it in point of such profundity of
depth and density of hush. He felt
that he himself must break it. As
Stunning an AZ of careless naturalness
and old time ease he airily remarked:

''That boy" Mr.. Riley said, was
Richard Malcolm Johnston, in whose
heart still abides love for the sim
pie homes and firesidcs of the hum
blest of his fellows"

HELPING EACH OTHER.

A gentleman who had travelled ex-
tensively through the south was one
evening seated in one of those pro-
verbal corner grocery stores in small
village talking to the people and COM
menting upon the unstinted hospital
ity of the people. A tall, cadaverous
looking chap, who had listened to him
intently, interrupted
That's so, stranger. When man
comes among we uns an does what's
right, we uns amt the people to see
him suffer when mes down on his back
an can't help himself We're just 60
ing to raise him up"
And they do raise him up" If he
is sick, they till his ground, feed his
cattle, cut his wood and in various
ways render him assistance. On the
eastern shore of Maryland and Vir-
ginia this custom is universal, and
many sick man has silently made
his grateful prayers for blessings on
his neighbors for the great stacks of
chips and split wood that have been
gathered about his yard, and for the
hams and flour and other necessaries
that have been placed in his smoke
house

TILE COLLIE.

Bet ween the Scottish shepherds and
their dogs there is perfect intelligence
and Il real affection. Away up the
rough mountain sides, far from any
habitation of man, the faithful collie
and his master live together, enjoying
the fine summer weather and rOughing
it through the severe cold wintry sea-
son. So isolated are they that they
become close friends, and in this com
partnership the dogs acquire almost
human sagacity. Steadfast, faithful
and thoughtful, they understand
their duty, and they perform it often
with actual heroisuI. a dumb signal
from their masters is enough for them,
and they in turn can make the shep-
herds comprehend their meaning by
barking and peculiar movements OF
the body.
The duties of the collies are mani
fold. Simply watching the sheep as
they Craze is IL small part of their
work. They are trained to fight the
enemies of the flock, and they are as
brave as they are faithful. n collie
would lay down his life, if necessary, to
defend his charge.
Gathering the sheep together, when
they have been scattered on e hill
sides, is no small labor, for they are
often unruly and wild but the collies
are firm and active, and the sheep
soon learn to trust them. Out of Il
flock of 1000, three or four may be
missing. The collie is told to go out
and find them. Perfectly compre-
hending what is expected of him, he
instantly hurries away to the noun
tains, and wien he returns lie will be
sure to bring the lost sheep back with
him.-OlLr animal Friends.

BL4RNEY'S FAMOUS STONE.


Blarney is quiet little village, dis
tant on the left a mile from the sta
ton at which we alight half an hour
after leaving Cork.
Overlooking it from slight emf
hence is ruined castle built by Nc
Carthy, prince of Desmond" in
the early part of the fifteenth century
1t must be remembered that princes
were plenty as blackberries in the
days when Ireland was cut up into
little Kingdoms and small tyrants own

people, body and soul. These We're
the days when Ireland was
independent" and for the return
of which home rule signs to-day

for as our guide informed us, He was
descended from Noah and came out
OF the arrack wild him.
No one seems to know the exact
origin of the Barney stone, or how
it derived its miraculous power. 1t
may have been in the ark-ballast be-
queatned to the prince by his great
ancestor. In some way it found itself
on the very pinnacle of the castle tow
er, with the date 1903 carved upon
bition of many generations, who
have laboriously climbed up to its
dangerous eminence. There have

ed by all visitors. Sir Walter Scott
did not find himself degraded by fol-

stands for st. Peter in the Cathedral
of Rome, worn to the quick-if I'M

That all which He haiti sent is best for me.

The sorrow and the anguish of the years;

And some must look ut life through mists of

Yet, well l know that He in whom trust,
In all His leadings must be wise and just.

Falls to the lot of some, while others weep,

May drink of pleasures draught, so full and

Yet, well know that joy, too, hath its place,
If He but deemeth best its smiling face.
l cannot understand the mystery of the love
Which sets the way, or glad, or sad, for each !;

Who, wise and loving, all our need can reach,
Yet, well l know in His bright realms of air,
Him shall see, and all HIS mysteries share.

Want Ii More Thorough.
The Dairymen's Pure Mix Association met
last evening at Bruminger' dairy. 18th between
L and Gstreets. and informally discussed the milk
inspection. While no decisive action was taken
at the meeting, il is probable that at the neat
meeting of the ociation a committee will be
appointed to confer with the District Commis-
sioners ana suggest that more thorough and
complete inspection of milk be made by the
authorities. 1t was stated that one OF the most
necessary things to be done by the authorities
WAS thorough inspection OF the manner In
which COWS are kept and fed in the city and
suburban district At the next meeting u
the association, on the 26th instant.
one or more experts will address the meeting
on the question Of pure milk. and the public
viii be invited to be present IL
was resolved at last evenings meeting
that the association would give every
assistance to the authorities in the crusade
against impure milk, and that they would vigor-
ously assist in the prosecution Of all those seu-
ing it or bringing il into the city.
