Virtue is not always its own reward,
ever with princes. The Prince Of
Wales is a man Of tender instincts and
courtesy, as becomes his exalted rank.
One day, relates the New York Mail
and Express, alighting from a cab,
the Prince saw a blind man and his
dog vainly endeavoring to effect q
passage across London's Pail Mall in
the midst OF a throng Of carriages.
With characteristic good nature the
Prince went ut once to the rescue, and
taking his unconscious charge by the
arm safely piloted him and his dog to
the other side of the street. With
this, SO far as Lis Royal Highness was
concerned, the incident was at an end.
A short time a%fterward, however, a
massive silver inkstand was received
at Marlborough House, on which was
the following inscription: "To the
Prince of Wales, from one who saw
him conduct q blind beggar across the
street; in memory OF a kind and Chris.
tian action" The name of the eiyer
has never become known.

4 C~0nsiderate Do1,

w. A. Halsey tells q neat dog story
which he says will be verified by
Architect G.. A. Staeh!in. One breezy
morning recently they were riding
down Market street upon the real of
a trolley car when the car passed over
a nice, light, soft hat, which had
blown between the tracks. The hat
was not injured, but the wind gave it
n little fiirt after the car had passed
and dropped it fairly upon one of the
rails. A big New York car was COM
ing, and ahead of it a big mongrel
pointer dog was trotting along.
The dog glanced at the hat, looked
back at the car, and then, picking up
the hat in his teeth, ran over to the
curb and deposited it upon the side
walk near q group of PAYERS who were
working alongside of the court house.
After putting the hat in O safe
place, the dog loped after the big car
and took his place in front of it. Mr..
Haisey did not see the owner of the
hat nor did Mr.. S%taehlin, but they
passed several remarks about the sa-
gacity of the dog, and it is believed
that they agreed that it would be bet
ter not to speak of the incident except
to people who knew them vel. New.
