Manliness in a Street Arab.

Sergeant" said diminutive specimen of the
street Arab, as he met an officer wearing
sergeant uniform, on the street about 10 O'Clock
last night "can you send an officer to guard
some property tonight"
The urchin's clothes were tattered, his face
was dirty. and he was soaked with rain; but
there was manly air about him for all that.
The officer looked somewhat astonshed at the
request coming from such strange source, but
asked kindly: "What do You want an officer
for, my boy?"
Because answered the child and tears
filled his eyes, II was leaning against a store
window on Chestnut street, and guess Ipushed
too hard and the glass broke, and I couldn't
make anybody hear, so l started as fast as
could to find an officer, to keep anybody from
stealing the things in the window. And sergeant,
l have thirty-five cents l made selling papers
today. If 1 give you that, don't you think they
would let me go until l could make enough to
pay for the glass? Its every cent have, but
don't want to go to JAIL"
keep your money. my boy,'' said the officer
Il will see that the store is guarded, and if you
90 and tell the owner tomorrow, 1 don't be-
lieve he will take cent from you. Anyhow
| can trust YOU"
"Thank you.' said the hoy, 81 will be sure tC
go and see him, and l will try to save all the
money l can to pay him, if he wants it, Ant
drying his eyes he went on, probably to a cheer
less home.-Atlanta (Ga.) National.

The Dog Understood.

No dOg-lOyer requires proof that his canine
friends understand human speech, but he is al
ways ready to accept new evidence in favor of a
theory already held. Knowing this fact, a
salor-dOg, appropriately named for cor
respondent narrates the exploit of Jack.
His master was the captain of a fishing vessel,
sailing from PrOvincetOwn. Jack had often been
his masters companion on his voyages, but on
one occasion it was decided that the dog must
be left at home.
The eve of the captains departure had come,
The dog lay doing before the fire, and gave no
sign of interest when his master said in ordinary
tones. 1--WE must shut Jack up in the barn to-
night. or he will try to follow me in the morn
ng.''
Presently Jack parked to be let out, and no
one thought any more about him until bedtime
when he Was to be made prisoner. Then no
Jack was to be found, in vain were whistling
calling, coaXing, and scolding. and at last the
puzzled master gave up the search.
The next morning the captain started before
dawn on his long tramp to the neighboring port
There his sailors were waiting to row him to his
vessel, which was one of large fleet lying in the
harbor at some distance from the shore. As
they drew near his own vessel the captain was
watching his approach with evident interest
and probably with varied emotions.
The dogs appearance had been as great {
mystery to the sailors during the night as it wa:
now to the captain.
Shortly after midnight they had been startled
by whining and scratching at the vessel's side
and had been astonished and delighted to fine
their friend Jack begging to be taken from thu
water to the deck.
There is no reason to doubt that the creature
had fully understood his masters purpose. ant
determined to fOrestall it. How he accomplished
his long tramp to the port, swan across TIN
harbOr and, in the darkness selected hi
masters vessel from the large fleet of smalle
craft, l leave it to some master of canin
psychology to explain. l simply state the fact
as I know them to have Occurred.-Youth'
Companion.

A Parrot at Breakfast.

A funny parrot lives at Brooklyn, and is very
fond of the lady she lives with. When the
breakfast bell rings in the morning, she will
push open the door of her cage with her bill, fly
down to the breakfast table, take her own
chair which she always knows and occupies at
each meal, and wait until the family assemble.
If they should not gather as quickly as she
thinks they ought she will call out, Hurry up,
folks, hurry up and at the same time hop
over to the oatmeal dish, and attempt to lift the
cover, for she is very fond OF oatmeal and will
make her entire breakfast of it. She would not
touch the oatmeal, even if able to lift the cover,
for she is very good Polly. After finishing her
breakfast, she flies right back to her cage

Last week. as we walked up Main street be-
hind party of visitors, we were filled with
admiration at the elegant attire and regal bear
ing of two of the ladies of the party. The grace
of their movements. the air of cool indifference
with which they glanced at objects around
them. indicated that they belonged to the
cultured upper class. We fastened our steps tC

tones of their voices, and this is the scrap OF
conversation we overheard:
