A Remarkable Smile.

Mr.. Robert Pollok, a Scottish poet,
while student of theology once de-
1ivered trial discourse before the Sc
cession Divinity hall, Glasgow, the
subject which was 'Sin.r His man
ner of treating it was, in the opinion
of his fellow students, rather bombas-
tic. and at some passages there were
audible symptoms of the amusement
which they derived from Mr.. Pollok's
highfown phrases At last there came
one fight of fancy which was so re-
marlzable that the professor himself
was fairly obliged to give way-and
smiled. It was when the young
preacher had reached climax in his
cnumera tion of the dreadful evils
which sin had brought into the world.
And had it not been for SIM" re

is going on. It is sweeping into its
vortex all the mad elements of our
times, and the conceiving brain of it is
hidden away safely; the victimized
world cannot imagine, much less ac-
cept as fact, the prodigious audacity
upon which the whole scheme is built,
and will not accept the consummate
and Incredible machinery of which we
are witnesses. Hendricks has captured
United States gunboat off the bayou
because the commander of the boat
could not get it into his head that a
sufficient force was organized to drop
upon him from both sides of the river.
The government arsenal at Leaven-
worth has been robbed because the
government would not believe that
there was a force sufficient to take that
place. There is at this moment a large
body of United States troops concen-
trating in Upton county, but the move
has been foreseen and calculated by
Hendricks, and it takes place as if he
were directing it. These men will be
annihilated over our heads and we
shall not hear a sound

bitterness than amazement, "he is pres
Gent and invincible-in your mind"

1t has cost me many sleepless nights
to find it out. but have found it out,
and with that knowledge 1 will free
you and Miss Franklin if you will fol-

81 am afraid" said Stocking, who
was regarding him with something
like pity, ''that you have worked your
self into morbid condition Of mind.
If your scheme were reasonable, why
not appeal to my reason instead of my
faith?'
because" replied Calicot, cit is
reason which is working all this mis-
chief, and faith alone can circumvent
it. 1 don't want to argue that with
you now. 1 want your cooperation to
demonstrate it, and, believe me, when
it is demonstrated you will be the first
to acknowledge it's truth and efficacy.
One other point-this man Fenning in
tends, with Hendricks assistance, to
get possession of Miss Franklin. They
are only waiting for a favorable oppor-
tunity to send her away. At any mo
ment she may disappear forever so far
as You and l are concerned. She is

that this is not diseased fancy when

TENDENCY or DOGS TO FIGHT.

The Laplanders Given Much Trouble When
ever Their Teams Meet
In countries where dogs are used for
draught purposes il requires a certain
amount of skill on the part of the
drivers to get two teams past one an
other. In Labrador whenever two
teams meet they try to stop and fight.
The dogs which are used for traction
are extremely ferocious by nature, and
their tempers are il. no wise improved
by the state of semi-starvation in which
they live. During the summer time
they get nothing from their masters
and have to pick up a living for them
selves as best they can. This is no
easy task, and any leather straps or
old boots which may be found lying
about are eagerly swallowed
In the winter they are supplied with
salt fish for breakfast and likewise for
supper, and this unpleasant diet does
not tend to reduce the combative spirit
within them. And, therefore, If two
sledges chance to meet, in nine cases
out of ten the dogs fall upon one an
other with the most completes disre-
gard for the cries of their masters OF
the cuts of the cruel, long-lashed whips.
The result of forty dogs all falling
on one another at the same time may
be imagined. Over 60 the sledges. out
tumble the drivers, and anything they
may have behind them. As rule
few minutes struggling will find the
dogs SO entang1ed that they cannot
move.
1t should be borne in mind that every
dog has his own particular trace, to
one end of which he is attached and to
the other the sleigh. These traces of
course vary in length according to the
wearer's position in the team. and the
leader is often fifty feet away from the
wheeler.
The consequence is that in short
time dogs and sleighs get wound up in
an intricate tangle and it takes the
drivers long time to unravel each
dog and prevent him from renewing
the onslaught as soon as he is free.
To prevent the dogs fighting in the
night the owners have devised a very
clever kennel which stops any little
disturbances of that kind. All dogs
stand on their hind legs to fight, so
that they have their fore feet for
wrestling purposes. The kennels are
made so low that this little maneuver
is impossible, and fighting therefore is
out of the question. - Detroit Free

What makes the little gentleman
Not station. high or low,
Not manners, nor sunny smile
On cheeks where roses glow.
Agoodly outside charms the sight;
But tell me. II you can,
What is It that at once proclaims
The little gentleman?
1t surely cannot be the dress,
Nor Is It wit or birth:
These never represented yet
The souls undying worth.
Nor is ii fair or courtly speech:
Not since the world began
Has this announced to anyone
The little gentleman
What is it then, my rosy lad
Politeness. gentle words:
These are as natural TO some
As singing is to birds
But there is something greater far
In Gods eternal plan,
By which the heart may always know
The little gentleman
Respect and reverence for age;
truthful loyalty
To mother, father and to friends,
No matter what may be:
The hearts ideal fixed on high,
Beyond all earthly ban:
The courage TO do right-thesc make
