inspiring airs that touch the hearts Of
the American citizen and make them
live for one cause.

10 neighboring woods. He removed
the cat from the bag and tied it to .
tree, after which he fastened the stick
of dynamite to the animals back.
Kashner lit the fuse and stepped
back about fifty yards to wait results
The Maltese, frightened by the shower
of sparks from the fuse, slipped its
neck from the moose and scampered
through the woods. Kashner, Mortified
with the possible results that might
follow, began pursuit, at the same
time shrieking words of warning.
"A quartette of Sharpsville young men
were enjoying game of poker in that
vicinity, and the cat, now made desper-
ate by the burns from the sparks, was
making directly toward the group.
Kashner, in passing the poker players
on his way to the scene Of execution,
had notified them Of his intentions, but
they had become so intensely inter
ested In the game that they had for
gotten all about Kashner and his cat.
Kashner's wild yells: ''The cats loose
with stick Of dynamite on its back"
awoke the poker players to a sense Of
the danger, and the largest jackpot
would not have tempted them to re-
main. There was a scrambling OF men
in every direction. One frightened
player took refuge in nearby tree,
but afterward regretted it, for the cat
was making directly for his place Of
refuge.
The life of the cat was destined to be
short, however, for it had hardly start
ed on It's ascent when there was re-
port that shook the earth. The tree
was badly shattered. but fortunately

clubs. Upon the upper banks Of the
Potomac, near Georgetown, the club
houses of the Columbus, the Potomacs
and the Analostans are beautifully
situated; and beyond them, toward the
Aqueduct bridge. boating houses for
the benefit of the general public are
very well patronized- The Potomac
boatmen long since learned that the
best boats were the most attractive and
would, If kept in readiness for general
use, increase the profits of their busi-
ness: and consequently the most ap-
proved styles of rowboats can be found
at all Of the boat houses. These boats
are fitted with the latest appliances
and can be rented by the hour or by
the day for practically nominal sum.
The attendants are usually affable and
courteous persons who cheerfully give
their patrons all necessary advice and
instruction for their pleasure and
safety. Moreover the principal reason
for the enjoyment of this sport is that
the Americans have invented many
varieties of small boats which arc

they can possibly be made, while they

Is brought INTO play. Ihe regular and
necessary motions strengthen the back,
harden the limbs, and the muscles of
the arms are brought into active play,
aud accordingly strengthened. The
general physical condition is thus
made more healthy and strong, so
that the fatiguing and lassitudinous
heat of the summer can be the better
withstoOd. There is danger, however,
in this climate, when one returns from
a row up the river with the skin aglow,
us a result of tho exercise which has
been taken, that, sitting on the cool
verardas or bedrooms Of our homes, a
severe cold may be taken. Indeed,
some of our young men have thus
carelcssly stepped from robust health
and strength into incurable disease.
Toweling and massage should always
follow row-boat excursion.
In the early part of every season our
brawny young men have blistered
hands and well-browned faces; the
blistered hands come from the oars,
the Drowned arms and bronzed faces
are caused by rays of the sun; but
braAn and beauty go together, and the
tlstering and burning are cheerfully
endured because of the influence which
they may have upon the mind Of
beauty, by inducing her to believe that
her swain is q gallant and hardy young

There is no better place on earth
than upon the broad, smooth waters of

sailing. In every way that nature could
aid it the Potomac was perfected in the
prehistoric days as resort for lovers
of aquatic sports. It is perfectly safe
for the most fral craft to venture upon
its bosom, because land breezcs seldom
ruffe it. and its current is SO light that
any able-bodied man or woman can
easily row against il. The wooded
shores OF the upper Potomac are close
to the city, and the stream flows be-
tween the historic hills of Virginia and
the Palisades of Georgetown; so that It

1t is not an uncommon ramble for

A funny little thing happened not
many moons ago to one of the promi-

society in which DR.. Love is always
conspicuous, the facts of which, as they
are being related by the st. Louis Re-
public, are as follows:
Some one with burning desire to
play practical joke inserted an adver-
tisement in one of the daily papers. to
the effect that dogs were desired at a
certain address for dissecting purposes;
dead or alive would make no difference.
Accordingly, the following morning,
while the amiabl and unsuspicious
doctor was enjoying his breakfast, he
heard the doorben ring many times.

persisted in his attentions, and she
yielded to his entreaties. They went
boating. As they left the little wharf
of the boathohse, the senator's SON was
heard to remark: "We will set the day
for our wedding before we get back. :"
She retorted: ''Then we viii never get
back"
They never came back alive. Whether
there was final and irrevocable quar-
rel or not is only conjectured. As they
were coming through the narrow pas
sage between the stone piers Of the
bridge the boat capsized. He was an
excellent swimmer. There was not
enough water in the Potomac to drown
