Took Charge or Him.

1t is often said that a benefit con.
ferred does more Tn remote friend
ship than favor received. II you
would cultivate friendly feeling to-
ward another, do him a kindness; II
you would secure his lasting friend
snip, get him TO do you kindness.
There Is some truth, at any rate, In
this view OF the case; and 10 applies
even TO dogs, as is shown strikingly
by a story related in "Gold, Sport and
Coffee Planting In Mysore," by MIR.
r. II. Elliot
Mr.. A. told me that he once
wounded tiger which afterward
sprang on him, knocked h m down,
and seized him by the hand and IN.
With Mr. A. was large dog, which
at once attacked the tiger, and di-
verted him from Mr.. A. After drlv.
ing oil the dog, the tiger returned to
Mr. A., and commenced worrying
him, but was again attacked by the
dog.
The dog was driven or three or
four times, but the tiger was all the
while losing strength, and nnally
comes the curious part Uf the story.
The dog, which was not affcctionate,
belonged To Mr.. A. 's'brother, and pre-.
viou,ly had taken no interest In any
one but his master Now. however,
he refused to 20 home with his
master, bat stuck closely to the

applied by Mr.. AS brother to the
wound, the dog Logan 10 growl and

He would not allow anyone to come
near MIR. A. except his own special
servant, and lay under the bed with
his nose sticking out, keeping close
guard.
When Mr. A. was carried to the
doctor, some thirty-hve miles away,
the dog went, too. and on the doctor s
applying carbolic acid and setting the
bones, whi h caused the patient to
cry out, the dog at once seized the
doctor by the leg.
In about three months Mr. A. was
quite cured. Afte, that the dog los t

An Animated Gripsack.

the other looked like hoosier farmer.

the grip move. He regarded it closely
for few moments and then felt sure
that it moved.
What have you there-pups? he
asked the hoosier.
Nav, they amt pups" replied the
old fellow, as he proceeded with his

SIGNALS FROM MARS.
Recent Bright Lights on the Planet Ex-
planned by Virgins,

Prof. Ezekiel Virgins, Of Ottawa, Ont.
concurs in the opinions expressed in some
quarters that the bright projection on Mars
seen by VI. Javele ut the Nice Observatory,
July 2s is signal from the Marsians to the
people on earth. He says;
There is the best scientific evidence TO
prove that man is n native Of Mars aud lived
there millions Of years before he was tran
splanted 40 the earth leaving the greater
part Of the human family behind. The Mar
slams regard us as their lost brethren and
have been searching for US for thousands of
years. They have been especially hopeful
since they saw the electric lights in our cities.
We will be able to converse with them by
signals before another century passes.
1t Is much easier for the Marsians to sec
our signals than for us 10 see theiis. for the
earth appears to them TO wax and wane like
the moon. 80 that they can easily see lights
on our hemisphere while their planet always
has its light side toward u.s."

SHOT HIS SWEETHEART.
While She Was Playing Ghost in a Sheet
to Brighten Him.

At Newbern, Ind, DIR. Con Beck was
spending the evening with Miss Grace Cohee.
and shortly before midnigh, Miss Cohee left
the Doctor sitting on the front veranda,
and went back through the house to get a
drink. While back she took her slippers
on, and throwing n white wrap over her
shoulders, came around to the front
veranda playing Ghost The doctor did not
suspect It was his sweetheart. and pulling
his pistol, called TO the appariton to halt
three times, but she needed him not. Then
he fired twice, one ball passing through her
stomach, and one through her leg. She il
still living, but II is not thought she can live.
