Reason 1a tie Lower Animals.

We have fox terrier whose happi ness was complete until Dodgerfield came. She is very affeotionate, conse quently very jealous. If looks and growls would kill, Dolgeriield would die many tinaes day Both dogs eat from the same plate, but lot at tho same time. One day last week we fed Dodgeffeld first. The fox terrier was very hungry and begged hard for first dinner. Dodger seemed to eat more slowly than usual, and Nettie watched dolefully.
 Finally hunger got the better of her honesty, and she parked sharply three short barks. Dodger left his plate and sprang to the window, looking exeitedly up and down the road. Nettie looked neither to the right TOT the left, but made straight for the plate of food as soon as Dolger's hack was turned.

Shocking Deprayisy the Part of Birds
 Witnessed by Andrew ysng.
 A queer story is told by Mir. Andrew Lang. The incident came under his ON Il notice and occurred under the bridge over the Lochy, below the Ben Nevis Long John distillery. From this tale 1t Is obvious that animals are only sober from lack of wit to obtain alcohol:
 That establishment disgorges into a burn quantity of refuse, no doubt al eohol1c When I've crossed the bridge in the morning to fish, the ducks from the farm opposite were behaving in drunk. ell and disorderly maner-hying, beat ing the water, diving, spluttering and greedily devouring the stuff from the dlstillery. Their antics were funny, but vulgar. By o'clock we found tho ducks sleeping off the effects of their debauch. We awakened them, and they all staggered eagerly to bucket of wa. ter, from which they quenehed the tor ments of thirst. A small sea bird behav- ed ill still more deplorable way. He slowly drifted down the Loehy from the fatal intoxicating burn, nor could peb. bles jndiciously thrown at him induce him to take the wing. He tried to dive, making efforts comic and unsuccessful. After drifting through the bridge I re- gret to say that he returned to tho burr and 'ttook cup of kindness yet, ' get. ting all the moro intoxicated and drift. ing back in q yet more deplorabie condi. tion.

He then remembered the eft repeated warnings from his fa ther about fire and started for the side door with the intention of escaping int the street The door WAS locked, but he quickly found the ley, unlocked the door and run out into the street. And then, out in the clear air, free from the smoke and flame. he commenced to think His liitlo sister was in there, and tbe flames were creeping closer and closer.
 He hesitated net m instant, butstart- ed to enter the house once more. He WAS met by cloud cf flame and smoke at tho door.

strip inside is picked tip by the cement. thus closing the puncture, as in cut No. 5.
 The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which 1t is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that "1eab like sieve"
 Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture.
 Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan 6 Wright tires are, and yet how esldom they puncture. This is dle to the fabric.
 Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities.
 N. B.-When you have puncture, get right off. Riding tire flat, when it has a tack or nail iu it, may damage 1t considerably.

you will now find rollerrink in oper-
alton in any part of the country. There
was no longer demand, and the supply
Immediately stopped. If every man
who has experienced the evil effects of
whisky would quit drinking today, all
the breweries and distilleries in the
country would be idle within one
month.
But, to come to the point. If we are
dead to the world, day comes when
we may arise again. If we are slaves,
a day comes when Freedoms trumpet
announces our emancipation.
We have seen the convict enter the
prison, now we are 20 see the MAN enter
the world again. The masters last
order is given; the slave is told to
throw aside the emblem of his disgrace
and don the dress of free man. How
quickly the wan cheek glows with the
mantle of health. The heavy, careless
step becomes light and springy. The
listleSs cOuntenance assumes an air of
responsibility, and the sluggish blood
now flows freely through every vein.
The soul which responded so unwill
ingly to the commands OF others, now
reflects the JOY of its liberty in the in
telligent light that sparkles in the eyes.
We are men once more-the world is
before us. Those who have been in
dustrious and studious while here, may
now put into practice the knowledge
they have acquired. We have not all
been able to make as good use of our
time as we would wish, but each one
of us has learned that the humblest
life in the bright sunshine is preferable
to the miseries of prison.
Whatever has been the cause of our
fall in the past, we should now avoid.
If whisky has been our unlucky star,
the path we should now follow is plain.
If we are sincerely interested in the
suppression Of the liquor traffic, the
way to prove it is by not buying it for
ourselves or others. We are now free
agents, and it rests solely in our own
hands whether we remain such, or re-
turn again to the slavery we have just
passed through. j. L.

contained only pure water, yet it had
the desired effect by diverting her
mind from the cause of anger and ex-

THE NAVAL SECRET SERVICE.

The system of espionage maintained
by the United States upon the naval
establishments of other nations is prob
ably the most complete and elaborate
in the world. An accurate knowledge
of the strength, efficiency and naval
progress of foreign powers, particularly
those with whom our interests are most
likely to clash, is of vital Importance,
for on this knowledge, with its lessons
and suggestions, rests naval policy and
plans for possible emergencies.
One department of the naval build
ing at Washington is devoted eXclu-
sively to the collection and tabulation
of information regarding the where
abouts, strength and fighting capacity
of every warship in the world. A map
of the ports of the world, with holes
punctured in each port for the recep-
tion of pegs, is watched over by an
officer who is kept in constant tele-
graphic communication with American
naval attaches and secret service officers
throughout the world. The pegs are
colored, each color representing par
ticular service, as red for British; blue
for French; yellow for Italian; and so
on, each peg bearing the name of a war
vessel of the service it represents. In
whatever port vessel may be station
ed it's peg will be found in one of the
holes of the port on the map. When
the vessel moves, the peg moves into
the port for which the vessel sails if its
destination be known.
A glance at the map gives the nu.
merical strength of any nation in any
particular part of the world, and, in
case of an emergency, the government
knows with exactness what force il
will be called upon to meet. Not only
is the mere number of the vessels
known, but their armament, moderni
zation and structural peculiarities
together with the personnel and morale
of the crew are an open book through
the gathered information of the gov
ernment agents operating wherever
anything of value may be CLEANED.
To secure this information, the gov
ernment has, besides the regular nava
attaches at the principal ports, secre
service officers reporting every advance
