all readers, both to those who keep dogs
ana to those who do not.
Johuson and Thompson were next

that barked considerable part Of every
night. Finally Thompson SAID to John
SON
Look here, Johnson, We have al
ways been friends, and | hope you
won't take offence il tell yru that the
barking Of your dog Is driving me ard
my family mad for want of Sleep
Dear me !" said Johnson. That's

5arked any to speak of
Two or three evenings afterward

have bought him. Nobody can blame
as for killing our own dog. I'll get
some clorofOrm tomorrow"
A month passed, and Johnson and
Thompson met.
"Well, Thompson, you haven't chic
reformed the dog YETI"
No" said Thompson. The truth
is we have become rather ford Of the
fellow He Is so lively and playful"
But doesn't his barking at nigh
annoy sou?"
Il haven't noticed it,"

important steam railroads, and will lie

can rapid transit system Of New York
city The simplest and cheapest de
vice for moving car. hy electricity is
the trolley. and though tha, method is
condemned in Washington aad other
up-to-date cities, it is admirably adapt
el 70 the country. Its cheapness and
efficacy are such decided advantage
that trolley roads are being constructed
in all directions in every State Of the
Unicn. and several OF the Territories
The editor Of Electriciiq has collect
ed some interesting figures which show
that the trolley pays even better in
freight than in passenger traffic. He
cites the case of a trolley line running
from Newburg on the Hudson River to
Waikiki village twelve miles back III
the country, and IL a good farming
section. This road transports freight
for the farmers and country storekeep-
ers to the river and returns freight from
the cars and steamboats, which deliver
1t at Newburg. It's trains consist OF
motor cars carrying eight to twelve
tons each, and each motor hauling a
number Of trailers OF six to eight tons
capacity. As AZ illustration Of its de-
tciency, 1t Is stated that a recent ship
'nent OF seveGty-five tons OF grapes was
carried in single trip and paid $3.50
4 ton To earn the same amount in
passenger service would, according to
N expert, require full days work,
With a larger force OF men. 1t is fur
her stated that the gross receipts of
the road for the month OF August were
nearly two and-a half times as much as
It's operating expenses.
What can be done at Newburg on
the Hudson In the matter OF freighting
by the trolley, will also be found feast
ole In other localities, and the country
people will be shreWd enough to see
the advantages of cheap and rapid
transit for their products and supplies.
Great as has been the development of
electric railways in the past six years,
there is no doubt that it VII be much
greater Tor some years to come. In
some cases this feature OF the transpor
tation problem is prejudiclal to the
steam railroads, for the trolley lines Of
ten parallel and compete with steam
lines. But most Of the rural electric
lines supersede the horse and wagon,
and serve as feeders for steam roads.

the matter to the bank and all the
agencies IN Europe were notified by
telegraph to stop payment, and a liber

A recent mail brought to the bank a
packet from a lawyer in little fishing
town in Belgium. Within was a purse
water soaked, but with contents intact
The lawyer wrote that the purse was
picked up several days ago by the crew
of a Belgian trawler, floating on the
waves in the middle of the English
channel Its owner now recollects that
he was very seasick while crossing the
channel, and that instead of going be-

Times of intense general excitement
lead to an unsettling of weak minds.
Mr. A. G. Riddle, in his ''Recollectlons
Of War Times" remarks upon the num-
ber of Missionaries and fanatics who came
to Washington in 1861 and 1862, some
of them of the prophetic order others
with commission, as they felt, to take
their places at the head of the govern
ment One such unbalanced man,
perhaps thirty-fve years old, Mr.. Riddle
saw again and again hanging about
the ball of the House III Representa-
tlves, of which Mr.. Riddle was a mem
ber.
Once or twice he managed to remain
in the hall till after prayer, and was
then hustled out. He seemed to know
no one-a harmless, moon-struck young
man, country grown, neatly clad in a
homemade suit of light brown
One morning, when I had reached
the hall early, this specially commits
stoned young man came in, an unusual
look of resolve on his meaningless face.
Seeing me alone, he approached, and
casting quick glances about, hesitated
moment, and then said
"YOu are one of the Congress fellers,
aint you?"
"What makes you think so?" was my
response.
oval, you are slttin' in one o. the

and actin like one On 'em."
Well, il you won't tell on me-" was
my hesitating answer.
"No, no | won't tell. l shouldn't
think you'd want to have 1t git out. /
won't tell on ye."
"Well. then, am one O. the Congress
lellers."
"Wal," Frightening: "you're one O
the very ones to help me-"
"What is it?" / asked.
oval, you see,' stepping near mo
and in a confidential tone, "you see,
I'm sent here to take things in hand,
and put 'em right-you understand? ?"
"Well," asked / "why don't you take
right hold? 1t needs somebody, the
Lord knows -
"Yes, but somehow | can't seem to
yit hold. Can't git a'goin'. An you
felers must help me, you see"
"Who sent you?"
God" solemnly.
"He did? Are you sure?'
"Oh, sure as l live"
.As He used to send the prophets?"
Exactly. That's tin the Old
Testament times"
"But don't you know that when He
sent a man, He always opened the way,
provided the means? His man always
knew how to get hold. II | were you,
l would go right back for instructions. }"
This was new Idea. He stood dazed
ard confused.

that, waiting, perhaps, Tor instructions.
He was not a solitary instance.
