LOVE BY TELEGRAPH.

Asked the Ouestion.

Suitor Who Got Yes" Before Ho
Asked the Question.
81 hear you are engaged to be mar
ried to a young lady in San Francisco"
Eyes, the rumor is true"
LET me congratulate you. 1 don't
know her, but am sure that you could
make nothing but wise choice"
by the way, if you promise not to
tell this, will let you know funny
incident about my engagement
Il was on the point of asking the
question several times, but somehow l
thought she would refuse me. So the
last day was out there managed to
summon up enough courage to pop. She
told me to give her time
II told her that / must leave that
night, and would she tell me then? She
said she would consider. 1 left her
without an answer, and as none came
for week could stand it no longer,
so, stepping into telegraph office on
my way home, about six o'clock one
evening, sent her the following mes
sage:
"'Please tell me. Is the answer yes
or mop
about ten o'clock the reply came:
Yes
"Of course was happy and all that,
but on reading the telegram for the
hundredth time 1 noticed that it was
filed at four in the afternoon.
For moment I was staggered, but
I soon thought of the reason. 1t was
the difference between Cincinnati and
San Francisco. I could not help laugh
ing when l thought that was engaged
before had even asked the question:

Canine Friend.
| Nothing is truer than the old saying
that person who loves dogs and fiow-
ers can always be trusted. The man,
woman or child who cherishes an at
lection for cat or dog is certain to
have a large streak of kindness in his
or her nature.
According to writer in Golden Days
there have appeared in history num-
Der OF famous dogs. The memory of
"the dog of Marathon" lives with the
memory OF the Greek heroes who fell
with it in that famous battle against
the Persian hosts. The Greeks raised
statues OF their dogs. Socrates swore
by his dogs, and Alexander the Great
honored his by building city with
magnificent temples, which he dedicat-
ed to their memory. There was a dog
named Softer, so noted among the Cor
inthians for his fidelity that he was
voted silver collar, on which was the
inscription: "Corinth's Defender and
Deliverer."
Plutarch mentions sagacious dog
that King Pyrrhus found beside the
murdered body of his master. After
ward 1t sprang fiercely upon two of the
kings soldiers, pointing them out as
his murderers. A monument was built
over the remains of the dog owned by
Xantippus, the father of Pericles. De-
MED admission upon his masters ship,
he swan alongside of it from Athens to
Salamis, and fell dead of exhaustion at
the feet of Xantippus the moment he
stepped ashore.
Homer erected q beautiful memorial
to Argos, the dog owned by Ulysses
not out of marble, but in verse that is
more enduring. When Ulysses, after
his long wanderings, returned to his
home, disguised as a beggar, his dog.
hen twenty years old and blind, was
the first to recognize him.
De Montdidier, an officer under
Charles v. of France, was murdered.
His dog met Macaire, brother officer,
and sprang at his throat The king
suspected that Macaire was the murder
er, and ordered dog and man to do bat
tie. The man was allowed club and
shield and the dog a cask, into which
he might retreat when hard pressed.
The dog fastened his teeth into his an
tagonist's throat, and Macaire confessed
his guilt, and was executed.

Glad to See Him Anyway.

Sir Arthur Sullivan tells this story
on himself in the Strand Musical
Magazine: Together with party
of friends. I was once traversing a
rather uncivilized district in the state
OF California, when we stopped at a
mining camp for some refreshments.
The driver informed me that I was ex-
pected theres and, feeling rather
gratifed to hear this, l made my
way to the whisky store. Three or
four fellows were lounging about,
and one approached big, sturdy
man, who was standing near me, and
said to him: Are you Mr.. Sullivan
The man shook his head, and pointed
his finger in my direction. After
looking me up and down, the man
demanded: What do you weight
About one hundred and sixty-two
pounds, was my reply, 'PoohP said
my interrogation, that's a queer
start. Do you mean to tell me you
gave J. Blackman fits in Kansas
City,? Certainly not, l answered.
We'll, who are you, anyway / an
swered my name was Sullivan. Quite
disappointed, he said: oh, amt you
John l.. Sullivan the slugger?' No,
/ am only Arthur Sullivan, | re-
piled. 'Whatr he said, with evil
dent surprise, are you the man as
put ''Pinafore" together? l said
yes, aud smiled at him. Well, I
never, he answered; but I'm glad
to meet you, anyway. Come and
take drink with us.

ume. De staei's wit.

Nine. De Stael had fallen out with
Viscount De Choiseul, owing to certain
malicious reports circulated by the lat
ter. One day the lady and the viscount
met in company, on which occasion
good manners required that they should
speak to each other. Nine. De Stael
commenced:
"We have not seen you for long
while, M. De Choiseul."
"Ah! Nine. rAmbassadrice, have
been ILL.,"
Seriously, monsieur"
II had narrow escape from being
poisoned"
ALIAS! Possibly you took a bite at
your own tongue" a
This joke fell like thunderbolt on
the viscount, who was q notorious back
bitter and mischief maker. The lesson
was severe one, but he richly deserved
y and had not word to san

A LAND WITHOUT STONE.
First Dwellers In BabyIonia Were Forced
to Make BrIcks.


to Make Bricks.
When men first settled in Babylonia
there was no stone. "Dig where you
will, " say Chipiez and Perrot, ''you will
not find stone in the country, from
Bagdad to the sea, larger than nut"
But they found ready to their hands
In the river most abundant materials
for making bricks, with which their
temples and towns were built. This
clay they mixed with chopped straw.
In some cases they merely dried the
bricks in the sun, and such was the con-
sistency of the clay that 1t is even now
difficult to break these bricks.
In other cases they were burnt In
the case OF the burnt bricks they inter-
calated layers of reeds, and bound them
together by bitumen, instead of NOR
tar. This was chiefly brought from
Hit, on the Euphrates, where it still
abounds.
The bricks were beautifully made In
molds, and in the normal pattern were
about one foot square, four or five
inches thick, and rectangular in shape,
and sometimes triangular or otherwise
formed, so as readily TO make up into
arches and vaults
Many of them bore the names of the
early kings impressed upon them, as
may be seen in specimens in the British
museum. BriclSmaking was truly an
important art In these early times.

HER MISTAKE.
An Elderly Woman Whose Benev-
olence Was Misplaced
Her Motherly Instinct Led Her Into q
Grievous Error-Why an Undersized
Man Was offered a Seat
in Her Lap.

There is a woman on the West
side who still shudders when she
thinks of a blunder she made one
day in Summit street car, says the
Detroit Free Press. She is an elder
ly woman, with sons old enough to
attend the high school, and is of
mild and benign disposition. She
does otsee we'll without her glasses,
and to this she attributes her mis-
fortune.
About eight o'clock In the even
ing of one OF the very cold days she
had seat in a Summit street car.
1t was crowded with shoppers and
men going home from work. Stand
ing in front of her, with his back
turned to her, the other passengers
saw very short man. He was hav-
ing very hard time keeping on his
feet as the car lurched from time to
time with the slack of the "cable."
He was too short to hold to the
straps, and the best be could do was
to hang to the man in front of him.
A look of sympathy passed over the
benign-looking woman's face as she
witnessed his struggles. When
the car rounded the curve at the cor
ner of Ninth and Washington streets
it gave frightful lurch.
The little man was taken off his
guard, and landed squarely in the
woman's lap. He tried to rise as
fast as he could, and excuse himself,
when to his surprise and horror, he
felt that she was holding him where
he was. He tried again to get up,
but she held him tighter than be-
fore.
That's all right, little boy, sit
still, she said kindly, with smile.
Passengers were staring in amaze
ment at the unusual spectacle, and
the ribbon-counter girl in the cor
ner of the car Uttered audiably.
The understood victim began to
squirm, but his captor attributed
it to his boyish embarrassment. 1t
was only when he turned his big
round eyes on her and said, In
deep bass voice: viii you be kind

went away from his poor old father
and remained in a far coun try for

man, Mr.. Powderly. has arisen from the
machinists' bench to a position COM
manding worldwide attention.
AS talker he relies more on the
plain, forcible recital of fact, than on
eloquence and erudition. He speaks as
a shopman to shopmen and shop talk is
his forte. The necessity of organizing
and of keeping an organization intact
by keping it's aim constantly and solely
in view was the burden of his argu-
ment.
He dwelt upon the good that can be
gained by membership in the machin-
lists union and urged machinists to
join the organization. Both he and Mr.
Powderly made an appeal to all union
men to be loyal to the union label.
The organization of which Mr.. O'Con-
NIL is the head has 450 branches and 3d..
900 members scattered throughout the
United States, Mexico and Canada.
