DOG AND STUFFED TIGER.
Il Little Incident From New York Gity'i
Varied Street Life.

a Little Incident From New York Guys
Varied Street Life.
ssIn a Broadway show window, said
a stroller, there is particularly big
and handsome tiger, stuffed, that have
often looked at in passing. saw III
front of this store the other day a man
who had with him a tremendously big,
shaggy dog. The man looked at the
tiger. and stopped and tried to draw the
dogs attention to it. Bat the dog dion {
look that way, and, in fact, he didn t
stop. He slowed down, just as one man
might have done for another who had
stopped for moment to look in Win
dow or to speak to friend, and when
he had moved ahead a few steps III that
way. not finding himself oyertaken, he
did Just as a man might have done again.
He swung round with the same meas
ured tread and came back to the WIN
dow. Then the master, with a faint
smile, again invited the big dog to look
at the tiger, but instead Of doing that
the big dog looked up into his master 3
face and wagged his tail, and the mas
ter looked down and smiled at his dog
then the man started on down Broad
way, with the big dog wagging his tail,
walking along beside him.
"But while the big dog bad shown no
desire to look at the tiger, had, in fact,
shown rather an aversion to looking at
it, it did not appear that this aversion
came in any degree whatever from fear.
The perfect self possession and the deep
and unbroken good humor of the dog
were unmistakable; apparently he sim
ply didn't care for tigers and didn' t
want to look at this one, but it did seem
that if it had been possible for the tiger
to come to life and step down from the
window and around and out through the
door on to the sidewalk then the big dog
would not have walked away that there
would then have been there ON the side
walk the loftiest scrap that Broadway
ever saw, with the chanees-well, the
chances were in favor of the dog. New

ers containing soda mint, some bismuth,
some charcoal or more powerful disin-
fectants. Some are designed to remove
aeidity of the stomach; others to attack
a catarrhal condition. Others are to pro-
woke appetite, and still others are to
promote one or another natural fuHe-

AN ENGLISH JAIL CHAPEL.
A View of the Prisoners at tho Sunday
Morning Service.

After breakfast nothing much happens
until the chapel hour Now those pris-
oners who have "gono sick are visited
BY the surgeon On his assistant, and II
the cases are urgent are sent across to the
infrmary at once. There is no regular
cell inspection; the governor or his
deputy makes 10 round; there Is no
''taking CT reports, no adjudication Of
pains aud penalties foT misconduct. All
this will stand over uHtl Monday; even
those awaiting punishment, unless 1t Is
for outrageous acts Of violence or de-
fanee, turn cut to go with their fellows
to chapel. About 8 80 the chapel bell
rings for the first service, that Of the

IMMENSE LUMBER TRAFFIC..
The Iron Mountain Road
Shows a Remarkable
Record.

Just at this season of the year,
when statistical reports galore are
In tle papers and on everybody s
desk, it is interesting to think what
a change has been made the base OF
supply for the ST. Louis lumber
market during the past few years.
writes a correspondent from that
city. 1t is not many years since n
car OF Southern lumber was rarity,
and there was really as much lumber
going South as coming North,
while pine was the CHIEF wood
handled i'm that market, although
some oak was received from Indiana
and Illinois. This has all changed.
The base OF supply has moved into
the South, and only about 100000
feet OF white pine was received by
river during 1895. while it was once
many times that amount. The
rail receipts show that all roads
stretching into the South brought
lumber into the city in large guam
titles, while the lighter traffic was
done by Northern lines. The st.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern
carried more cnrs of lumber into St.
Louis during the year than all the
other of the twenty-thrre railroads
combined, and the bulk OF it was
from the Arkansas mills.-Gazette.

A STRANGE CASE.
VIM. Wilson, Almost Unconscious, Turns
Up at Police Headquarters and
Reports that he Has
Been Beaten and
Robbed.

Late yesterday afternoon a white
man and a stranger turned mp at
Police headquarters and asked for
help and assistance. The man was
very pitiful object His head was
cut across the skull clear through
the bone. He gave his name as
VIM. Wilson and said that lie had
been hit on the head with a bludgeon
by negro and robbed of twenty
dollars. He was in ii semi-eonsci
Gus condition and had no clear
recollection of the past. When asked
where the robbery had occurred he
said that it was somewhere about
one hundred miles below this city,
but he could not tell the place,
when the ROBBERY occurred or where
he was from. He was sent by Chief
Stewart to a cheap boarding house
to spend the night, and this morning
he showed up again at police head
quarters. The condition OF the un-
fortunate man was reported to
County Judge Jones who made an
appropriation of 800 for Wilson'S
relief, and this morning the hitter
was sent to the county poor house
and given medical attentions.

GIRLS VALUE PURITY IN MEN.
The Exceptions who wed Men of the
World, Always Repent of 1t.

World, Always Repent of 1t.
A young man writes TO Edward W.
Box inquiring why so many girls seem
to prefer the company of young fellows
of slightly blotted eharaeter-men who
have seen the woodland in many cases
marry them, in face of the fact that
their past lives are known to them. In
The Ladies Home Journal Mr.. Box, its
editor, makes this reply: "Girls-that
is, the right kind of gifls-do not prefer
the company of young men of this sort.
Doubtless, you have come across in
stances where this rule has been other
WISE so have /. But it is all in the
seeming, and not in the reality. Depend
upon one thing-girls have as high an
estimate of purity in man as men have
Of purity in woman
'There are, of course. cases to the
contrary, but these are few. Where girls
marry men who are known to have led
what is called worldly life, it is
more generally due to a misunderstood
ing of facts on to ignorance than people
imagine. There is a type of girl who
finds peculiar satisfaction in the con-
quest of a man who has seen the world
and then comes to her as the one woman
of all her sex who can make him happy.
This sometimes pleases her vanity and
love of conquest, but she is not many
years Older before she discovers that she
has satisfied those feelings at very
high cost.
There is another type of girl who
rather fanoies man who is what is
called fast. But that sort of girl is
painfully ignorant of what is meant by
that word as applied to man. If she
were not, she would be very apt t0
change the adjective to vulgar And
as she natures she finds this out. 1t is
only young men of upright lives who
can hope to win the favor and love of
girls of high motives, the girls vino
make the best wives If, at times, girls
seem to favor young men of another
kind, the glamour is simply transitory.
1t is rare, very rare, that girls better
instincts do not lead her to the higher
grade of yonng men. An upright life
never fails of reward, and of the highest
reward, from the hand of woman -

Meaning of tho Word "omaha. ;.

The name Omaha bears testimony
TO the long journey of the people, and

about this breaking up into distinct
tribes. 1t is composed of two words,
which signify "going against the cur

We're the people who went up the
stream, while the Quapaws, their near
of kin, went, as their name reveals,
with the current, or down the stream.
The traditions of both these peoples say
that the parting occurred during hunt
ing expedition, each division finally set
Ting in the lands whittier they had
wandered apart. This epochal hunt
must have been centuries ago, for the
Quapaws bore their descriptive name in
1910, being mentioned in the Portu-
