. Benny had reached the advanced age
OF ; years and a manly spirit swelled
within his small bosom, says the New
York Herald. He scOrned the hitherto
welcome assistance Of Norah, the nurse,
and announced TO mamma that he IN
tended TO learn TO dress himself. Proud
Of her boys independence, mamma
spent a wearfsome half hour one morn

ward fingers the mysteries OF fitting
each button to its own buttOnhole, but
alas, the buttons were so many that
Benny's courage. like that of many an
older person in the face OF difficulties,
wavered and finally succumbed. The
next morning Benny announced that he
was i'll and did not want to get up. Upon
discrimination il was found that
Benny had not a soul above buttons;
the buttons were too many for him and
he preferred staying in bed to tackling
them.

The buttons were counted, and from

was the reward, and in less than a

But one swallow does not make a

AMERICAN COMMERCIAL POLICY
The Holding of a Pan American Con-
gress Approved in the south

gress Approved in the South
Citizens of Florida who have been
holding at Jacksonville, in that state,
convention to indorse and urge action
In favor of the construction of the
Nicaragua ship canal, took action in
favor of an unfiinching maintenance by
the government of distinctive Ameri-
can policy, says the New York Picay-
Gne.
Besides the demand for the canal,
the convention favored an early reas-
5cmbling of panAmerican congress to
formulate means intended to produce
the permanent peace. independence and
prosperity in and to protect all Ameri-
can territories from foreign invasion,
interference or control; to promote
commercial intercourse, and to provide
for the settlement of all differences that
may arise between American republics
by arbitration.
The convention also urges the eStab-
lishment of international railway and
steamship intercourse and connection
between the republics and the terri
tory allied thereto, as well as the pro-
motion of adequate banking and eX
change facilities and commercial and
business relations to the end that all
American republics may reap the full
benefit Of the various resources and
industries to their betterment. now so
largely directed into foreign hands
Congress should take the cue. Now
Is the time TO take such action as will
secure a proper hold upon the COM
merce of Central and South America
and this can only be done by close trade
association by means of ample trans
portation and banking facilities. For
this country to assert political Ameri-
can policy, and not to follow ii up by
a corresponding commercial policy, mu-
tually beneficial TO all the American
countries, would be the height of alb
surdity.

An Electrical Fish.

Among the fish which are capable of
giving severe electrical shock the tor
pedo, or electric ray, a member of the
skate tribe, stands out prominently.
This fish has a couple of complex bat
teries lodged in the sides of it's head
parts and the discharge of these or
gans is fraught with dire effects to the
the way of this living magazine. The
electricity is generated by the nervous
system: that is to say, SO much nerve
force when passed through or into the
electrical organ is converted into cleo
tricity. A scientist lit up several
small electric lamps by the discharge
from the fish.

GOLF IS POPULAR IN FRANCE
Many Prominent Frenchmen Have Be-
como Devoted to the Game

The golf season has just ended With
the games OF the Dinard Club The
golf week at Dinard has nothing eduiva-

from Parame from St Lunaire. from

Englishmen arrive to play or to be
present at this brilliant autumn meet

American colonies of the Cote d'Fm-

families from across the water remain
Oh the Malouin shore to be present at
tnis new game. French sportsmen be-
longing TO the region or ruralizing there
make it duty to follow the phases
Of the game, and even to take part in
it.
For instance, last year Count Joseph
Rochald won the Dinard challenge cup.
Golf pronounced gulf or "geulf'0 is
very old English game, which is some

made its first appearance in France at
Dinard in 1890. Since then it has be-

golf links at Dinard are incontestiblv
the best in France. according to the
English professionals. Moreover. the
thing which renders them UNIQUE in
their kind, from the point of view of
nature, is the great number of iucom-
parable views which surround them and
their position on the sea coast, in the
midst of unequaled scenery.

BALLOONING WITH A LION.

VIII DO This to Benefit sick Soldiers
A young and attractive woman in
Paris, who is said to be q countess. pro-
poses to go from Marseilles to Paris in
a balloon with lion as her companion.
She is what they call in France a
"domptense," this translated into En-
glsh meaning a lady lion tanner" says
an exchange, and this extraordinary
performance is to be for the benefit of
the sick soldiers who have survived the
Madagascar expedition.
1t is by no means certain. however,
that she will be able TO make this
unique trip. A few nights ago she had
dangerous adventure in her wild
beast cage. She had scarcely closed the
door when Tar, the most savage and
ferocious lion OF the lot, sprung at her
and clawed her in the breast and arms.
a panic ensued in the menagerie and
a rush was made for the entrance but
the brave countess stood her ground I'M
terrified and managed to beat the lion
off. Then she Strengthened herself up
and made Tar go through his usual
performance. The panic was allayed
and the spectators began to wildly aD-
plaud the courageous woman.
Undissuaded by this adventure, she
insists that she will give her balloon
performance at an early date with the
same lion that attacked her. Yet she
is but a new hand at lion-taming. She
began TO exhibit herself with wild ami
mails in Partisan music-hall, and went
from there to, Lyons, thence to Mar
settles. She is not appearing under her
family name
