God made the winter for the sprinter and the

HOW HE EARNED CANDY.

A Strange but True story OF Big
Newfoundland Dog.
One summer afternoon group OF
children were playing at the end OF a
pier that projects into Lake Ontario,
near Kingston. The proverbial careless
child of the party made backward
step from the pier into the water. None
of his companions could save him, and
their cries had brought no one from the
shore. when, just as he was sinking for
the third time, superb Newfoundland
dog rushed down the pier into the water
and pulled the boy out. Those OF the
children that did not accompany the
boy home took the dog to a CONNECTION
er's on the shore and fed him with as
great variety of cakes and other
sweets as he would eat. So far the
story is, of course, only typical OF scores
of well-knOwn cases. The Individual
ity of this case is left for the sequel.
The next afternoon the same group OF
children were playing at the same place
when the canine hero Of the day before
came trotting down to them with the
most friendly wags and mods. There
being no occasion this time for supply
ing him with delicacies, the children
only stroked and petted him. The dog
however, had not come out Of pure So
liability. A child in the water and
| cakes and candy stood to him in the
close and obvious relation of cause ant

RENO HER HAT? NEVER.
And This Was Ono Reason Why She
Was Not Confirmed.

From the New York sun: A New
York girl announced her intention last
spring of becoming member of the
Protestant Episcopal church. When
the time for confirmation arrived. how
ever, the girl failed TO participate. Up
to the very last minute she had intend
cd to do SO; indeed. she was present at
the service when the contifmatory rite
was administered but for some unac-
countable reason she did not go for

given rise 10 no end of comment and
conjecture among the girls friends.
Why did she. at the very last moment,
back out so unceremoniously? The
truth of the matter has at last leaked
out, the facts being as follows: One OF
the chief charms of the girl who con-
temDlated confirmation was her lux
uriant bang. 1t was fair and fluffy, and
against the dusky halo of the big hats
that were the girls chosen headgear it
| was particularly effective. 1t was.
moreover, 4 most servicoable hirsute
| ornament. In damp days, upon per-
/
| spiratory occasions, and even when
| swept by ocean breezes. its crisp and
curly beauty remained unimpaired.
Other girls locks might wilt and
wither. but this bit of fringe was SEM
per idem. and the queer part of it was
that the rest of the girls hair didn't
appear to be particularly fluffy. Well,
it seemed that when the girl made up
her mind TO join the Episcopal church
! she did not realize all that it entailed
She had, apparently. never witnessed
the rite OF confirmation. When. there
fore. she saw member after member
of the class go forward, head uncovered
she was filled with dismay. Remove hei
hat? Never: she would die first. Let
all the other girls see that the fair anc
fluffy fringe was not part and parcel Of
her at all, but was merely sewed in hei
hat? Not a bit of 1t; her precious sou
! itself wasn't worth such a price. Sht
therefore sat perfectly still, kept hel
hat on and kept her friends in ignor
ance of her hirsute secret. In Ignorance
for the time being, that is to say. b;
some means or other the friends became
enlightened upon the subject, and, suf
fee to say, were much more impressed
than if they had learned the fact in
different way.

ROMANCE OF A SONO,
How tho Popular irish Ballad Robin

How tho Popular irish Ballad "Robir
Adair" Came to lie Written.
or all the old English ballads mona
is better known nor more popular than
robin Adair.' 1t is song whose
pathos has appealed to listeners in
every land where the English tongue IA
spoken, and unlike most Of the old songs
of its kind it has not been crowded out
of recollection by newer melodies. Al
though usually classed as an English
ballad and sometimes referred to as Of
Scotch origin, Robin Adair' is in
reality neither English nor Scotch, but
a genuine Irish ballad. The air, through
which as as we'll as the words the tears
run. is based in a very ancient melody
of similar style known as Eileen
Aroon." and dating back beyond 145O.
The more modern of the two songs has
it's origin in an actual occurrence. There
was a real Robin Adair, an Irish gen.
tleman who claimed descent from the
Desmond Fitzgeralds He was hand
some, dashing young fellow. and it is
no wonder that 1.tdy Caroline Keppell

was the daughter of the powerful earle
of Albermarle and he was as poor as the
proyerbial church mouse. The wooing
of the handsome Irishman was i'm
petuous, but the family Of Lady Caro-
line. true to the traditions in noble
| families in all well-regulated families,
| opposed the match. Lord Albermarle
sent his daughter away to cure her of
her folly, but she absolutely refused to
be cured, and it was while she was So
journing at Bath. in order that she
might not meet Robin, that she wrote
the song. She pinned for her lover and
her health became so poor that at last
the father relented, as most fathers in
romantic stories do at the end, and Lady
Caroline Keppell became Lady Caro-.
| line Adair. Adair. who was surgeon
of more or less ability, afterward be-
came quite distinguished in his profess
sion. All this happened in the last
century, the song having been written
in 1858. Strangely enough, it's proto-
type, Eileen Aroon," was also the out
come of very romantic circumstances,
the tradition being that it was written
by Carol O'Daly, after his sweetheart,
Eileen, had been compelled by her
family to marry his rival.

tuition not being able to sustain the bur-
den imposed by his rapid growth. At
the time of his death Patsey. as he was
called, was six feet two inches in height.
He had reached that height after hav-
ing started to grow from five feet in
the latter part of August. Although he
had ravenous appetite he could not
supply the demands of frame grow
ing at such rate as this, which would
make him ten feet tall in April If he
had continued to live. The abnormal
growth also seemed to cause general
breakdown Of the system by draining
nutrimert from many organs. Thus
Patrick Casey had suddenly lost the
power Of speech. This was not more
than a month before he died. and he
never recovered his voice, although he
could hear and see quite well. The ply
sicians who studied the case of this as
tonishing growing boy, however, were
more puzzled by the unevenness OF his
growth than by the surprising rate OF
the growth itself. Patrick grew faster
upon one side of his body than on the
other. On his left side he was three
inches longer than on his right. Both
! his right leg and arm were, compared
to his left. too short. This was some
what counteracted by the fact that,
his bones becoming soft and pliable.
his left leg bowed in walking. Thus he
could put both feet upon the ground at
once, although one leg was straight and
! the other crooked. But perhaps the
most surprising and unaccOuntable fea-
ture of this strange cnse was that a
short time previous to his death Patrick
Casey's hair turned from red to black.
Where it had been Of an auburn tint
1t became as black as a ravens wing.
1t was jet black at the time of his
death. Equally surprising was the
growth of the hair. Patsey's hair, dur
ing mis- sickness and while his growth
continued steady and alarming, grew at
an abnormal rate. 1t had to be cut
twice week. His body grew at the rate
of a quarter of an inch per day. but
his hair grew much faster. A week be-
fore Patrick died his hair stopped grow
ing. But Immediately upon his death
it commenced to grow at an alarming
rate. 1t Is known, for instance, thai
the hair on everybody grows more OF
less after death, especially the bearc
of adult men. But Patrick Caseys nail
