With strange inconsistencies are possest.

But none without safety;
Aud she hath many a garden fair,

Yet never are we quite at ease,
And never feel we quite at home!

More for our joys than for our fears
That we should sometimes smile at grief,
And look at pleasures show thro' tears
Alas-but homesick children we,

A Famous Dog Killed.

The celebrated Newfoundland dog,
Sultan, which for his acts of devotion to
man and for his courage, was, on the
9th of May, 1891, solemnly rewarded by
the Society for the Protection of Ami
mails with collar of honor, lately fell Il
victim to his fidelity to his master. Among
the feats performed by Sultan are the
arrest of robber, the capture of a
murderer, the saving of child 13 years
old, who was drowning in the Marine,
and the saving of the life of a man who
had thrown himself into the Seine from
the Pont Neuf. He first belonged to
the publisher NJ. Didier, who, however,
gave him to Mime. Foucher de Careil.
She kept him at her residence near Cor
bell, where Sultan was the terror of
tramps and malefactors, one of whom,
it is probable, killed him, for he was re-

The colonel smiled indu1gently, shrug-

was bent upon pursuing the subject to
the earth. "He claims that the Grub

happened that Neil got ahead of me in

ends of the blond mustache.

taken in the matter, this-person 2"
Dorothy asked, her cheeks flushing q
little with the question, eager interest
in her eyes.
ooh, certainly. Why not? So much
depends upon the point of view, you
know. In Neil's place should think
the same as he does, and make the very
same fight, without any question. Bust
ness is business. We can't blame man
for taking what he can get"
provided he gets it honestly" the
young lady supplemented, in a tone of
righteous severity.
"Oh, of course, provided he gets it
honestly her father agreed, his smile
rather sardonic. "Only in these times
the world does not always bother itself
to ask how he gets it."
They rode along for awhile in silence,
but Dorothy was not yet ready to aban-
don the subject. ST thought you said

"But that would be swindle," she
persisted. "And if this man thinks he
is right-if he is only mistaken"

his patience plainly exhausted. ''The
way you can harp on one string git is
your mother right over again!"

England as DECAY.

By an unfortunate juxtaposition of
words and emblems, England is unin-
tentionally depicted in the new con-
gressional library as a decrepit old
woman, gathering dry sticks, who is

west pavilion of the library are filed
by four plaques in relief, representing
spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

of the season-seed, bloom, fruit, decay
The mural paintings of the room are
designed to illustrate the progress of
discovery through conquest to civiliza-
ton, and honor is shown the four ma
tons most conspicuous in the colonial
ton of the new world-Spain, Portugal,
France, and England-by inscribing
their names conspicuously in the four
corners of the pavilion, and therefore
under the notices describing the me
dallions. One or other name had to be
painted under the ominous word decay,
and beneath the decrepit old woman:

her own wind-roughened locks. "But it

BODY could blame what's-her-name for

Dorothy laughed carelessly in recog-
milton of his wit. Absorbed in her
specimen, she had hardly heard the
tribute to her hair. Her conscience
was shifting her somewhat for the
snubbing attitude it had been her i'm
pulse to assume toward this fellow,
who, in his uncouth way, was evidently
disposed to all good-humored friendli-
ness toward his employers daughter.

WHOLE STATE MAY GO TO JAIL.
Fool Legislation in North Carolina
VIII Result in This If Enforced.

Fool Legislation in North Carolina
VIII Result in This If Enforced.
North Carolina is not the only state
that has trouble in the collection of its
taxes from people against whom they
a-C assessed, but the mmonwealth
has legislature that undertook to fur
nish remedy, and has done it in way
that may involve both the state and its
delinquent taxpayers in some trouble.
The new law directs the sheriffs of the
counties, by whom the taxes are col
lected, to report to the criminal court
the names of all persons who have
failed to pay their taxes within speei-
fed time, when they are to be adjudged
guilty of a misdemeanOr, and liable to
a fine of $500 or to Imprisonment in the
county Jail for term not exceeding
six months.
The new law was to go into effect on
September 1, date before the farmers
had marketed their cotton, and there
fore vast majority of them would be
unable to meet the demands of the
sheriff There is quite commotion in
the state and the attorney-generalh has
been called upon for an opinion as to
the constitutionality of the law, in re-
Spouse to which he has given two le-
gal opinions, one of which declares the
law to be valid as to all taxes and the
other that it can apply only to licenses.
The result is that this lucid attempt to
straddle the question has involved it i'll
still greater uncertainty.
From present appearances it is evil
dent that the law will fail because there
is not Jail room enough in the jails to
hold one-tenth of those who may be-
delinquents on the first of the month.
while neither the judges of the Grim
inal courts will dare to impose the pc.
cuniary punishment provided by law
nor would the sheriffs be able to collect
the fines if the, courts decreed them.
The experience North Carolina is hav-
ing with hasty and ill-considered legis.
lation is not peculiar to that state, and
many of the laws on tine statute books
of many of the states, known as dead
letter laws" are of this variety of legis-
lation. The laws are too dead and too
generally unobserved to be worth the
trouble of repeating them.-Chicagc

lively observed, by no means to be
turned from her purpose by the tart
tone.
''It is Heavens way of feeding the
lawyers the colonel sententiously de-
clared, adding, after an instant, land the
other rascals who serve as witnesses"
''Was it one of your witnesses in this
lawsuit that you went to see this aft
ernoon?' she shrewdly demanded,
struck by something in the tone of tho
last words.
The colonel looked family surprised.
"He is one of my witnesses now" he
returned, with grim emphasis on the
last word. But, for heavens sake,
Dorothy, what has come over you?
You remind me of your mother"
Dorothy laughed, too well accus-
toned to such overt attacks upon her
mothers methods to think of resenting
the imputation in her behalf. The
truth of the matter was that the late
Mrs. Meredith, seeking to pry with i'll
advised pertinacity into such matters
as the colonel regarded as his own pri-
vate concerns, would have been rele-
gated to her legitimate sphere of in
terests with soant ceremony, while at
the same time the deprecating meek
ness with which she had ever submitted
to his brusque methods of belittling
her had only served to increase bound
lessly the colonel's contempt for such
an unassuming type of woman. He was
secretly proud that his daughter had
inherited pluckier poise, complacently
persuaded that every quality he adj
mired in her was a direct inheritance
from himself; but at the same time he
had habit, which the girl, who had
greatly loved her mother, keenly re-
sented when she stopped. to think about
it, of coolly charging to her mothers
influence whatever about her he hap
pened not to like. Everybody says 1
am so much like you!" she demurely re-
joined, whereat the colonel laughed ap-
preciatively, his passing i'll humor for
gotten.
"You did not answer my first ques-
tion," she protested, presently, her
manner making it quite apparent that
rebuff had no effect whatever upon her.
Il asked you what the quarrel between
the mines is all about?"
..And to all intents I answered you
that I considered your ignorance bliss.
However. If you must know, the gist OF
the matter is that this man Neil claims
