---------------- Rover Knew the Portrait.

Since the painting of that famous bunch of grapes with which Apelles is said to have deceived the fowls of the air, it has been an undecided question whether animals recognize fac-similes in pictures. It is certain that they sometimes recognize portraits. The young master Sf a biautiful collie dog suddenly died. The dog vas incon- solablc. For weeks he roamed ahput in search of the lost one, exhibiting the mute and touching grief that ami mals sometimes show for the dead. One day portrait of the boy was brought home, and it was proposed to bring Rover in to see if he would recognize it. The moment he came into the room the portrait caught his eye, and he sprang forward with joy ful bark, reaching up to touch it with his paws When he found that it was only an inanimatc surface his disap- pointment was pitiful to see.-N. T.. Frihunn

tongue. It couldn't sound any better

tongue. It couldn't sound any better than it did when you said it."
 Gideon stood spellbound while she said this, and then began a stammer- ing apology for disturbing her.
 She did not give him chance to continue, for she said:
 You said just now that you would give good deal to know what I'd say We'll, say am glad you love me, and am willing to marry you"
 A bright blush mounted her cheek, and when Gideon realized that Philena loved him, he had no use for Elder Whites tongue, for he found his own, and for once said just what he wanted to.
 A small boy came up just theenand said Dinners ready"
 When they arrived at the place where the dinner was served, every one remarked Gideon's ''gay and jovial manner" and they guessed at the cause, for the small boy had preceded them and announced that he ''saw Gid Bright a-kissin' Miss Pray"
 That evening as he fingered on the moonlit porch at Parson Pray's, he urged Philena to name day in the near future when she would be his bride.
 When he walked home through the moonlight he really believed that he had kept his resolution and had asked Philena to marry him. He said softly, as he turned the key in the door:
 II am glad that l made that Dec. laration of Independence.
 As Philcna stood on the porch, with Gideon's kiss still warm on her lips she blushrd and said
 Il think l must have made Dec laration of Independence to-day, but Tn not sorry."-Wake Robin, in Arthur's Home Magazine.
The Coconino weekly sun., 1895-06-27

Wise made. It's noble thing to Gs- sert your rights and throw off the yoke of bondage. A noble thing. And FL der White talked good too, real good. It seemed as though he meant me all the time, when he said that some re- mained in bondage all their lives, and served some habit that ruled over them like despot, He said: stand fast for liberty and freedom in all things I'll do it. I'll make a Declaration of In- dependence this very day I'll ask Philena Pray to marry me this very day"
 Just then there was slight rustic at the foot of the oak and Philena looked around. She saw that Gideon was alone, and was speaking his thoughts aloud. She hesitated mo- mcnt, considering what she would bet tet do. That moment helped her to make her decision, for she heard Gid con say:
 'I'll just ask her to take wtll with me, end just as soon as we are out of hearing, I'll say: I love you, Philena; Will you De my Wl1cF Ana then II She refuses me she can't despise me for be- ing afraid to ask her. I'd give money if 1 could only have Elder Whites tongue for fifteen minutes. I'd say more than I've been able to say in a lifetime. I'd give good deal to know what she'll say when l tell her how long I've loved her"
 Philena heard all this, for he was very much in earnest, and spoke quite loud. She saw it all at once, and real ized that she had been beloved all these years. She knew that if she waited for Gideon to tell her that he loved her, she would never hear it, and so she stepped out from behind the tree and said:
 "You needn't get Elder Whites
The Coconino weekly sun., 1895-06-27

He started out, and just as he turned the corner who should he meet but Philena! He merely said: ''Good morn- ing" and hurried into the grocery near by as though he really wished to avoid her. He saw her when she returned, but Mrs. Shower was with her, and he returned to his little shop and passed the day in miserable state of mind.
 Day after day went by, and the Fourth was at hand The load of merry men and women stopped at Dame Cations for Gideon. They had a lumber wagon, with seats placed around the box, and canopy of white duck to protect them from the sun. Gideon took his seat in the wagon, and the horses started off at lively pace. Gideon looked around, and there be- side him sat Philena Pray. His heart lcaped to his throat and prevented him from taking part in the conversation.
 When they reached the picnic ground, Serene Temper said:
 'llere, Gideon, make yourself useful and assist the ladies'" One by one he assisted them from the high wagon. As he was about to help Philena, Mrs Stout stepped on her dress, and she was thrown forward right into Gideon's arms. For one brief blissful second he clasped her form and her warm | breath swept his cheek. Philena was annoyed, but she made some laughing remark, while Gideon blushed and stammered an awkward apology.
 After tho people had all arrived there was grand lot of speechmaking, and the music of fife and drum made the woods merry between the speeches. Judge Wise read the Declaration of Independence, and commented there on. His remarks were furiously ap- plauded, and then all joined ip singing America"
 After this they wandered about the grove, or along the shore, or gathered in groups beneath the wide-spreading trees. Philena, always helpful, was amusing some of the little ones, while Gideon sat in the shade of a large oak, apparently listening to Judge Wise and Lawyer Pinch, but, in reality, watching Philena. After little while some one asked Gideon to help put ur the swing. When he returned Philena was nowhere in sight. He busied him self with the preparations for dinner, and after the rough tables were made he went down to feed the horses. He took the measure of oats from the wagon and placed it on the seat. He was talking to himself and did not notice that Philena sat just back of a large oak that grew by the shore. She had brought little Mary Price down tc the shore, and she had fallen asleep as she lay on shawl that Philena had spread on the ground. Philcna sat by her side and dreamed of what her life might have been had Gideon loved her as she loved him. Just as she thought this she heard some one speaking. It was Cid con, and she supposed he was talking to some one. She sat still as he con tinued:
 That was good speech that Judge
The Coconino weekly sun., 1895-06-27

his heart, and fondly hoped some day to win her. He lived in the rooms over his barber shop, and took his meals at Dame Cations, who lived next door, Being so much alone, he got more in the habit of talking to himself, and Philcna was generally the subject of his conversation.
 At the time my story opens, Gideon was forty-two years old, and Philcna was thirty-eight.
 After Gideon had trimmed Deacon Hcmper's beard, he accompanied him to the door, and as they stood there in the sunshine talking in gossipy, neighborly way, young Sereno Temper came along. He was going to have a grove, three miles from the village. He wished Gideon to attend.
 Gideon could talk well enough when he was with the men, and he said:
 'I'd like to go. I'd enjoy it real we'll It's long time since I attended pie nic But thcn-it's no use thinking about it. I'd just be an odd one among you"
 "Oh. don't talk that way. We're all going in big wagon, and we mean to have jolly time"
 Gideon consented to go, and they walked on and he returned to his little shop He longed to go and invite Philena to accompany him, and he said softly, as he polished his shears before he put them away:
 "Now, Gideon, be a man, and ask Philcna to accompany you to the pie n;c It's better late than never, and you might get her yet. l almost think she likes you a little, and then she re- fused John Haimes, and perhaps you have been mistaken all these years. and she does care for you. Anyway i believe I'll ask Philena to goto the pie nic with me-"

This Woman Was Thrifty.

Current News reports the significant saying of an old lady who was locally famous for her good health and exceed ing thrift. An acquaintance was con graduating her upon her freedom from bodily ailments when she replied: "Wc be pretty well for old folks, Josiah and me. Josiah hasn't had an ailin' time for fifty years, 'cept last winter. And ain't never suffered but one day in my life, and that was when took some of the medicine Josiah had left over, sas how it shouldn't be wasted"

LORD 6ACON'S WEAKNESS.
He Was Given to Dosing Himself Con
 tinnally.

He Was Given to Dosing Himself Con-
 tinuaiiy.
 If the stories told of the whims and peculiarities of Lord Bacon are true, the great man was far from great in some things When, for example, he turned his mind away from the task of writing Shakespeare's plays, and rom elaborate efforts both to conceal and reveal his authorship-as some critics would have us believe-and turned it upon his own bodily aii- ments, real and prospective, he became positively little, says the Youths Com panion.
 In spring it was his custom to go out for a drive in an open carriage during showers, that he might receive the benefit of irrigation" which he was wont to say was very wholesome be- cause of the nItre in the air.
 He had extraordinary notions re- specting the virtue of nitre, which he conceived to be of inestimable value in the preservation of health. So great was his faith in it that he swallowed three grains, either alone or with saf- iron, in warm broth, every morning for over thirty years.
 He was apparently fond of exercising medical treatment upon himself. Once week he took dose of the water of Mithridate" diluted with strawberry water. At least once month he made point of swallowing grain and a half of castor in his broth at break fast for two successive days; and every sixth or seventh day he drank quan- tity of hubbard.
 He took the air" in some high and open place every morning, the third hour after sunrise, and selected, when it was possible, place where he could enjoy the perfume of musk roses and sweet violets. Besides thus breathing the pure air of nature, he was fumi- gated with the smoke of lignaloes, with dried bays and rosemary.
 He was a hearty eater, and when young, preferred game and poultry, but in after life he gave the choice to butchers meat, well beaten before be- ing roasted At every meal his table was strewn with flowers and sweet herbs.
 In spite of all this whimsical care, Lord Bacon's health does not appear to have been any more remarkable than that of many men who spend no time on such foolish practices.

Hubby's New Cigars.

She got out of her carriage and walked into the cigar store, at the same time unfastoning her coat.
 II want 9 box of cigars for my hus- band, please. Let me sec all kinds"
 Now here are some goods we can sell for eight dollars, and here are do- mcstics from that down to two and a half dollars" said the obliging clerk.
 She looked at them carefully.
 You may wrap up that box at two, dollars and fifty cents," said she, with dignity. 'I like the shade better. It will about match his smoking jacket" Indianapolis Journal.

soon arrived at Parson Pray's gate. Philena was working among the flowers that grew near the gate. She was expecting him and her heart beat little faster, and her cheek took on a rosier hue, as she said.
 ' Good morning, Gideon"
 Good morning, Philcna."
 Wont you come in?"
 She smiled as she spoke. and Gideon thought there never was fairer woman in the world She took step toward the gate as if to open it. Gideon got very red and stammered:
 "N-o, l thank you" He realized that he had made blunder, and 1t confused him more and more. He took off his hat, and furiously mopped his perspiring brow, and then said:
 "l left something at the church last night and was going after it."
 Poor Gideon He was so worked up by this time that he could not think of another word to say, and he pulled his hat over his eyes, and abruptly walked away. Philena did not speak her thoughts aloud, if she had she would have said: ''I guess he did leave some. thing, he left his 6rGinS if he's got any, for he didn't have any this morning. wonder if he expects mo to offer myself to him. If should, he'd get as red as lobster and say: It's of no account Please don't discommode yourself, Miss Philena.
 She cast look of scorn after him and then went about her work. Gideon went on his way, angry with himself for his blunder. ''rd kick my self if I could. I'd Lft SomethiRg q the ciUrch.' Wasn't that bright speech? You're an idiot. Gideon Bright. He turned about and walked back fully determined to go straight tc Philcna. He walked slowly by thu house, but he did not see Philena. Hi: courage, as usual, left him at the last moment, and he walked homeward and when he was once more in his little shop, his face wore dcspairing look a! ! he said:
 Gideon Bright, you've let the chance of your life slip by. I don't believ, ouS u navy Sou hoN any way Philena saw him when he came back and she really hoped that he would come Tn, but she was disappointed, ant as he walked slowly by, she thought:
 Il don't believe he cares anything for me. I'm glad 1 gave him the nit ten last night before all the folks. Fl see that he don't get the chance to pay me-"
 True to her resolution, she avoided Gideon, merely speaking in civil way when she passed him in the street, ol met him at a friends house.
 Year after year went swiftly by, ant still Philena did not marry. This wa her own choice, for several worthy mer had sought her hand. Try as sh' would to put him out of her mind, thu face of Gideon Bright haunted hel dreams, and she would softly sigh:
 If he only had the least bit O gumption."
 Gideon still loved Philena with al
