Love story In Literature

Wherever Mrs. Browning trod,
whatever she touched, became en-
dowed with the sacredness of her
presence" writes Clifford Howard of
Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Brown
ing in the June Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. when Mr. Browning returned
with her on a visit to England, after
an absence of several years, he re-
paired to the little church in which
they had been married, and there, at
the entrance, he reverently kneeled
and kissed the paving-stones upon
which she, the light of his being, had
stepped. And in after years, when the
light had gone from his life, he
sought this sacred spot on the
twelfth of each September, and in the
dusk of the evening shadows pass
ers-by might have seen a white-hair-
ed man kneeling for n moment as il
in prayer before the doorway OF the
dark and silent church. Yet little
would they haye thought to recog-
nizs in this man the poet Browning:
he whose mystical writings had led
the world to regard him as "A man of
austere nature"

MUCH COVETED SPOT.
Ciipperton Island in the Pacific Has
Many

From the London News.
Few persons even know of the exist
ence of Clipperton island. and probably
not one In a hundred could point out it's
position ON the map. Yet IL is one of the
most coveted portions of this earth's
surface and its ownership is disputed by
Mexico, France. the United States and
England. Clipperton island itself is a
mere speck In the Pacific ocean, about
four miles in circumference. and with but
two palm trees on its barren surface. IL
Is "A coral island. or atol, very difficult
of access, lying about 100 miles west OF
the Mexican coast.
II this had been all the existence of
Clipperton island would. in all probable
lily. have remained unknown. But IL is
the home of millions of seabirds and tens
of thousands of tons OF guano are to be
found on its surface. The various claims
20 its possession have been dormant for a
long time and ave not disturbed the
harmony of nations.
But now this is all changed. An Engiish
guano company appeared on the scene
and commenced operations. From all
quarters at once claims to the rightful
possession of Clipperton island began to
come in and the company found itself i'm
a somewhat embarrassing position. IL
was willing and anxious to pay a royalty
on the guano removed, but the question
10 whom should II be paid. Mexico
appeared to have the greatest right, but
this was disputed by tie United States.
No sooner were the claims of Uncle Sam
disproved than another claimant put in
an appearance. According to the latest
reports France protests against the
action OF Mexico and insists that Ne isl-
and rightly belongs to her.
Probably the best solution OF this inter-
national angle would be for the present

clare their Independence and establish a

Would sand have gone into the pipes

Chapman was asked
You are begging the question; do not

From the Westminster Budgel

Many stories have been told of Sir Henry
Hawkins terrier Jack A writer In
Chums has something TO say about the
famous dog Jack, who, 10 his distinguished
owners great sorrow, died year or two
ago. He was a smooth-haired fox terrier,
beautifully marked with lemon colors and
was known in almost every assize town in
England and Wales. lie had a distinct nat
ural leaning toward the law; indeed, it
was never finally decided whether it was
a brief or a bone that Jack priced above
all other things. However, brief or bone,
there was no mistake about his attachment
to one member of the profession, as for
many years he was Sir Henry's insepara-
bic companion and friend.
Once, in a crowded Assize Court, when
Jack was sitting al his masters feet and
a barrister commenced to cross-examine a
witness in a loud and angry tone of voice,
he ventured to express his dissatisfaction
by growing audibly from his unseen seat
The effect was electrical The court became
as silent as the grave the interrupted
counsel looked up in silent amazement,
the usher was dumfounded; the jury start

kept dscreetly out of sight, and his lord

Mr.. - continued his cross examine

contempt of. court as he did for second
hand beef-bone, again took offense and
barked Justify. Then followed a painful
pause during which everybody expected
the judge to break out in angry remon-
STRANGE; but, instead of losing his temper,
Sir Henry merely addressed the court thuSs
Dear me, dear me, pray let us have quiet.
/ wish gentlemen wouldn't bring dogs into
court" There was no sign of the obstrep-
erous animal, however, for the secret was
wel kept, and at a convenient moment
when business was once more in fun swing
Sir Henry turned to the clerk by his side
and softly whispered, Take Jack out, and
present my compliments to Baron --,
who as having his luncheon, and ask him
to give Jack my mutton chop Master
Jack had his chop and no doubt enjoyed 1t.
