Danger in the Stamp Box.

A girl I know is betrothed to a young
officer in the navy, and as his birthday
is near at hand she has bought pref
ty little stamp-box in silver to give to
him, but she is not going to give it to
him, after all.
Daughter" her father said to her,
''if you wish that young man well,
never give him a stamp box. You
couldn't give him anything more dan
gerous. A man would better carry
dynamite than stamps. One of the
bravest officers in the navy has been
for twenty years paying the penalty OF
his folly in carrying stamps. Every
body knows who he is. Years ago he
received an order from the department
which displeased him very much. He
knew to whom he owed it, and he sat
himself down that same night and ex-
pressed himself frankly on paper to
the man he blamed for the obnoxious
order. He had a stamp, and SO he sent
the letter off in that nights mail. If he
hadn't had a stamp he would not have
mailed the letter till morning, and if he
had kept it till morning he'd never
have sent it at all, and he would not
have paid the penalty of 'sassing' the
department. Don't send the.young man
a stamp box. The officer I've been tell
ing you about says that his experience

The Dogs and the Door.

Two of my favorite dogs called Jack
and Cuffy. Jack was a great st. Ber-
nard, weighing nearly two hundred
pounds. Cuffy was a pure Newfound-
land, with very black curly hair. These
two dogs were the gift of the late Sena-
tor Sanford. With other fine dogs OF
the same breeds, they soon supplanted
the Eskimo and mongrels that had been
previously used for years about the
place.
had so much work to do In my very
very extensive field that I required to
have at least four trains always tit for
service. This meant that, counting
puppies and all, there would be about
the premises from twenty to thirty
dogs. However, as the lakes swarmed
with fish, which were their only food,
we kept the pack up to a state OF
efficiency at but little expense. Jack
and Cuffy were the only two dogs that
were allowed full liberty of the house.
They were welcome in every room. Our
doors were furnished with the ordinary
thumb latches. These latches at first
bothered both dogs. All that was needed
on our part was to show them how they
worked, and from that day on for years
they both entered the rooms as they de-
sired without any trouble, if the doors
opened from them. Cuffy was never able
to do it. With Jack it was about as
easily done as it was by the Indian
servant girl. Quickly and deftly would
he shove up the exposed latch and the
curved part of the thmub piece and
draw it toward him. If the door did
not open, the claws of the other fore
paw speedily and cleverly did the work.
The favorite resting place of these two
dogs was on the fur rugs on my study
floor. Several times we have witnessed
the following action in Cuffy, who was
of much more restless temperament
than Jack: When she wanted to leave
the study she would invariably first go
to the door and try it. If it were in
the slightest way ajar she could easily
draw it toward her and thus open it.
If, on the contrary, it were latched, she
would at once march over to Jack, and,
taking him by the ear with her teeth,
would lead him over to the door, which
he at once opened for her If reason
is that power by which we ARE enabled
to combine means for the attainment of
particular ends,'' I fail to understand
the meaning of the words if it were not
displayed in these instances.-Rev. r.
Young, in Popular Science Monthly.

SACRAMENTO ELKs.
Will Go To-Morrow to Browse in
San Jose Pastures.

San Jose Pastures.
The Sacramento Lodge of Elks are
making great preparations for their MI
grafton to San Jose that will take place
next Saturday, December 9th. Fully
sixty members of this organization
have signified their intention of making
the trip and the lodge has arranged for
a special car that will be attached to
the 1910 a. m. train via Stockton. On
arriving at that place the Stockton
Lodge of Elks will join the foray with
their special car that will be coupled in
next to the Sacramento car, and for the
rest of the journey it can be safely
predicted that there will be a hot old
time.
AS the Stockton lodge has been invi-
ted to be the guests of the Sacramento
contingency, it has been deemed best to
have a sufficiency of browse aboard,
and in consequence choice selections OF
barley corn and wheat products have
been secured, sufficient to last until the
pastures of San Jose are reached.
The management have secured a spe-
cial rate for members, which will be
$40 for the round trip, tickets good
until Monday night and returnable by
way of San Francisco if the members
desire to go that way.
