recorder that Schwarz had been very
drunk on Saturday night. He fell on
the Susquehanna railroad track and
was IN double danger-from freezing
and from being run over by train. But
then the yellow dog proved his devo-

and kept on barking He ran to a rail-
road watchman ard almost dragged
him to the selseless Schwarz. The
watchman called Perry, who reused
Schwarz and locked him up. The dog
passed the night by his masters side.

with joy, jumped around him, plainly
saying: "See, old man? I told you

To know what great minds have spo-

Of the heart and its dim secrets. as new
ideas rise above the horizon and open
before them-and, still more, not merely
to receive, but to create; not merely to
be listener and disciple, but to be con-

TO Remember In BuyInx Shoes

DR.. Samuel Appleton gives some rules
about footwear which every person will
derive comfort in needing:
Never wear a shoe with sole narrow
er than the outline of the foot, traced
with pencil close under the rounding
edge.
Never wear a shoe that pinches the
heel.
Never wear a shoe or boot so large
in the heel that the foot is not kept in
place.
Never wear shoe or boot tight any
where.
Never wear shoe or boot that has
depressions in any part of the sole to
drop any joint or bearing below the lev
el plane.
Never wear a shoe with the toe turn.
ing up very much, as this causes the
cords on the upper part of the foot to
contract.
Never wear shoe that presses up
into the hollow of the foot.
Never have the tops OF the boots tight,
as it interferes with the action of the
calf muscles makes one walk badly,
and spoils the shape of the ankle.
Never come from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never wear one pair of shoes all the
time, unless obliged to do SO. Two pairs
of boots, worn a day at a time alternate
ly, give more service and are much more
healthful.
Never wear leather sole Innings to
stand upon. White cotton drilling or
linen. is much better and more health
full.
Never wear a short stocking or one
which, after being washed, is not, at
least, one-half inch longer than the
foot Bear in mind that stockings
shrink Be sure that they will allow
your toes to spread out at extreme ends,
as this keeps the joints In place and
makes q strong and attractive foot. AS
to shape of stockings. the single digital
or "one-toe stocking Is the best
Never think that the feet will grow
large from wearing proper shoes. Pinch
not only large. but unsightly. A proper,
natural use Of all the muscles makes
them compact and attractive.- Health

/ The American ship Iroquois came into
port late Monday afternoon. In her
cabin were the preserved bodies Of two
strange fish that were caught on the
voyage and frog that came aboard the
vessel In mid-ocean. All these were odd
creatures, and Capt. Taylor had them
preserved to be presented to the Acad-
emy Of Sciences. The frog was found by
one of the sailors clnging to the miz-
zen topmast-backstay lanyard When
the tar discovered the frog the man was
so astonished that he nearly lost his
hold on the ratlines. He did not dare to
touch the batrachian, but rapidly de-
scended to the deck and reported his
find to the captain. The mate went
aloft and capturedit. The ship was then

The officers OF the vessel say they have
no idea where the frog came from unless
1t was scooped on cloud by the mast.

she left port 1t was Just about the time
the frog was captured that the strange

DAYBRHAK

When the sunlight peeps in through the
curtains at dawn
His Highness awakes with a smile and a
yawn,
And his little fat hands fly up in the air,
Out of whole-souled delight that new day
is there.
He laughs to himself and he churns his
pink heels,
He gurgles and chirps at the pleasure he
feels,
And he looks with dismay at the big folk
near by
Who sleep While the daylight is kissing the
sky.
The sight of sunbeam is thrilling and
new:
The big folk are missing it-that will not
do!
Awake! oh, good people. awake to the sight!
Come out of your pillows, It's no longer
night!
See, what wonderful broad streak of
gold
Has come through the window! Arise and
behold
A slice of the dawn dancing over the floor!
Was ever so glorious a vision before?
But the elders to whom the awak'n ming Of
Is old as their memories, turn blindly away;
And His Highness is left, with the birds Of
the trees,
To carol his Joy at the new life he sees.
