A COnsiderate Dog,

w. A. Halsey tells neat dog story
which he says will be verified by
Architect q. A. Staehlin. One breezy
morning recently they were riding
down Market street upon the rear of
trolley Cur when the Cur passed over
nice, light, soft hat, which had
blown between the tracks. The hat
was not injured, but the wind gave it
little flirt after the Car had passed
and dropped it fairly upon one of the
rails. A big New York car was CON-
ing, and ahead OF it big mongrel
pointer dog was trotting along.
The dog glanced at the hat, looked
bnck 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 n group of PAYERS who were
working alongside of the court house.
After putting the hat in safe
place, tho dog lopcd after the big car
and took his place in front of it. Mr..
Hasey did not sec the owner OF the
hat nor did Mr.. Staehlin, 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 spenk OF the incident except
to people who knew them well. New.

The Sweetest Things of Earth.

What are the sweetest things OF earth2
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn;
Riches of gold untouched by scorn;
Lips that can praise n rivals worth;
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile, though they may weep;
A brothers cheer, IA fathers praise;
The minstrelsy of summer days;
A heart whore anger never burns;
A gift that looks for no returns;
Wrongs overthrow; pains swift relca-c;
Dark footsteps guided into peace;
The light of love In lovers eyes;
Age that is young as we'll IA wise;
A mothers kiss. n babvs mirth--
These are the sweetest things of earth.

TO TRY VOODRUFF'S STRENGTH
HIS DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT MIR.
LOW AROUSE THE OPPONENTS OF
THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
IN HIS HOME WARD.


There is trouble in store for Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff in the Twenty second Ward of Brooklyn.
In which he lives. and whose Republican politics
he Is supposed to manage. Last December M.
Woodruff. with the aid OF the prestige he had
through his election Lieutenant-G Governor,
and by dint Of the most lively work for week or
more carried the ward in the annual primaries
and swung its influence for County Clerk Worth
In the General Committee. The ward had always
been against Mr.. Worth before that time, and NJ:
Woodruff's achievement considered most
noteworthy one. His supremacy has not been
questioned since December. but 1t will be put 10 the
test tonight at a meeting to be held by Mr.. Wool
ruffs opponents to examine into the condition of
their fences. and to find out just how much back
Ing Mr. Woodruff has at the present time.
1t was explained last night that the Lieutenant
Governors statement In Saratoga Saturday 10
the effect that the Low boom is waning is re-
sponsble for this activity the part Of his op-
ponents Amcng the politicians Of all wards Mr.
Woodruff has been severely criticised for his dis
paraging remarks about President Low, and his
opponents have seized the opportunity TO test the
truth OF his statement in their own locality. with
every reason to believe that careful investigation
will prove his statements to be without foundation
Strong have been noticeable in Brooklyn which
could justify the observation-disclosures in saying
that Mayor Strong is gaining the popularity which
Presdent Low had hitherto enjoyed in Brooklyn.
The Lieutenant Governors declaration against
Mr. Low is taken as an indication that in case Of
a fight between Worth and Platt Mr Woodruff
i would b be with Plat In this case. according 10
