| in a mans character that will make you
go out into the world afterwards feel
ing more than ever a man, because the
sanctity of.implicit confidence rests up
on you as a thing worth while being
worthy of.
When you come to think of it, there
is a strangeness in the faithfulness OF
Watchdog. 1t is a weird idea, that
though the master may be absent the
dog in charge of affairs instead of be-
| coming less vigilant grows more so. 1t
is not to be explained on the SUPPOSE
ton that he is alert because he is paid
for it by scraps that fall from his mas
ters table. 1t is deeper than stomach
love--though we do mockingly say that
the way to a dogs heart is through his
stomach. 1t endures even when the
master is neglectful and cruel. 1t glows
warm even when the chillS of frost
cover the faithful creature and he lies
out there under the night, instantly
ready either to greet his master with a
CHEEKY wag, or to drive the trespasser
off to the public road where no man
trespasses, and whose rights. even
fierce dogs seem to understand.
Equally strange and equally esti-
nlabie is the influence that makes a
man faithful to mis- trust, though no
mans eye be upon him. 1t is an out
rage upon human nature to explain
every worthy human action as having
| a selfish origin.
| Something in the heart of a man
rests upon the deepest principles of the
world of morals and keeps him stead
| lily plodding at a task. How grand that
there should be such an impulse within
usi For it would make life seem quite
, too petty to live, ii we were forever
measuring out our deeds SO that they
exactly balanced another mans doles.
Some poet expresses the thought like
this, though 1 cannot now confirm the
quotation:
High heaven disregards the store
| OF nicely balanced less or more
Dogs and men, from an untraceable
source, get satisfaction in doing a
thing because it is right, even though
no approving voice sounds out to praise
the right when it is done. Big-souled
men, mark you, are not looking for APP

If We Didn't Have to Eat.

Life would be an easy matter
If we didn't have to eat.
If we never had to utter:
won't you pass the bread and butter,
Likewise push along that platter
Full of meat?"
Yes if food were obsolete
Life would be a jolly treat,
If we didn't-shine or shower.
Old or young. bout every hour
Have to eat, eat. eat. eat, eat
'Twould be jolly if we didn't have to eat.
We could save lot of money
If we didn't have to eat.
Could we cease our busy buying,
Baking. broiling, brewing, frying,
Life would then be, oh, SO sunny
And complete;
And we wouldn't fret to greet
Every grocer in the street
If we didn't-man and woman,
Every hungry, helpless human
Have to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat
We'd save money If We didn't have to
eat.
All our worry would be over
If we didn't have to eat.
Would the butcher, baker, grocer,
Get cur hard-earned dollars? No, sir.
We would then be right in clover
Cool and sweet.
Want and hunger we would cheat.
And we'd get there with both feet,
IF we didn't-poor or wealthy,
Halt or nimble sick or healthy
Have to eat, eat. eat, eat, eat
We could get there If we didn't have to
eat.

PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS.
BY G. Grosvenor Dave.

| For Young Men Again.-It is real
pleasure to see the wild glee of a young
| dog; twisting himself sideways with
the vigor of his delighted tail and so
| hurried from time to express himself
| that he cannot even bark straight. He
actually cheers up weary folk who look
at him, for this joy is harmless and the
onlooker we'll knows that the exercise
is strengthening him for the days Of
dull dog-dom that are bound to stretch
ahead before him some day.
| That is about the attitude of sensible
people towards you young fellows as
| you swing out into exercise that critic
| ally viewed, looks almost ridiculous.
| Look at yourself in your running
trunks and if you do not suddenly feel
| that you are a scarecrow, l am mis-
taken. But it is all right. Do your
| running and your boxing and your
wrestling and your. rough-and-tumble
games, for it is better to use your sur
plus strength that way than to waste
| it ir weakening vices. You are troubled,
| il you are in health, with too much vi
| tally to be anything beside restless and
! it does good to the heart of those who
| love you and envy your youth and its
hey-dey path, to see you choose the
better part, which, for a young man, is
certainly not inactivity. Nature has
you in hand and though you are I'M
conscious of it, she is busy impelling
you to do the things that tend to a re-
serve of power The galloping times
are going to end one day, and then
many a dull and weary mile in harness
| for whose heavy pulling the years of
| nd o.
pared you.
| Master doggy has a hard time learn
ing all he ought to know. and some OF
| his knowledge comes along painful
ways But if he takes the fat and the
lean Of life in due proportions and With
cut too much bowling at the discords
ycu will see him grow into a sedate,
well-trained beast, who knows well
what he is here for, and whose honest
head will receive many an adnliring pat
from gentle women who trust ms
guardianship. And those pats do not
in any way upset the balance OF the
good faithful fellow; for at the hour
CT duty he goes quietly to his post
again.
This will not be very much unlike
you, if you gain love for duty-doing
as you emerge from irresponsible
puppydom into clean manhood. 1t IS
the emerging time that is hard. for you
have to learn new standards of conduct
aid some pretty sharp knocks are
needed at times to make you follow to
! heel of duty. But let me tell YOU that
the clearer the vision you have of duty
and the cleaner the way you tread the
more you will be admired of women of
| the nobler sort 1t is worth much to
you to be with good women, and their
praise need not upset you; for it will
net be of the gushing, gurgling, humble
bee buzzing, lSs1ltimental kind that
turns a man away from purpose-but
| it Will be an evidence Of supreme trust

off the bandages and asked for the UNI
fortunate woman's scalp. 1t had re-
manned entangled in the belt and
wheels. and the messenger had some
difficulty in inducing the owner of the
laundry to let it be touched. The
laundryman believed nobody was en-
titled TO take it down except the Com
missary of Police. Finally, however, he
gave it up. At the hospital the hair was
shaved off, and the scalp was washed
on both sides with soap and antiseptics,
and applied to the patients head. The
operation has turned out completely
successful, and marks a new and i'm
portant step in surgery, since hitherto
scalp wounds were only cured by graft
ing and by treatment which sometimes
lasted for years.-Paris Correspondence

A Scalp Restored.

A horrible accident which occurred
last August has been followed by a
marvellous cure. A young laundress
employed in laundry in the Rue Van
damme was caught by the hair by an
endless belt for the transmission of mo-
tive power and was literally scalped
from the back of the neck to the fore
head She was taken to neighboring
chemists shop and afterward to the
Broussais Hospital. DIR. Malherbe took

what they ought to do, and do it. That
en0s it with them.
And some dogs cheerfully die for the
sake of duty. Only BY stepping over
their faithful bodies can the outrage be
perpetrated. 1t seems to force home
the conviction that for such dear COM
panions of men there must be a place
where even dogs get their dues. But a
truce to that theorizing-I write to the
living this problem. We say in our
hunger and in our anxiety and often
times in palliation of departure from
the path that is straight: We'll, man
must live If so, what about the dog
I tell you, that when it comes to
choice between the right and the
wrong, man would better die and
wait for dues hereafter than live to pe
outclassed by his beast.

Christmas vacation.
A correspondent in a town near the
Indian village of San Felipe stated that
the Indians, on account of the digging
of the low line canal, were going to
"raise cane" Now, while the Indians
are bitterly opposed to the bisecting of
their lands by the ditch. which not
only shuts off the water supply from
their communal ditch but also will in
the end compel them to pay the ditch
company in money or work for the
water, they do not intend to use force
of arms. Instead they intend to resort
to the courts. The governors of the
tribes visited Washington in Novem-
Der and through the commissioner of
Indian affairs got permission to appeal
their case against the ditch company.
The case will be tried before the su-
Dreme court in January, 1900.

The custom of throwing pennies and
small gifts to crowds of Mexican boys

observed by many merchants and in
dividuals. Those boys found as much
Joy in the Insignificant trif1es as the

was music to the ears of the givers.

soners and the bill of fare for Christ

and but few arrests. The police had
the quietest Christmas they have had

the relief from work and worry.
The fiesta in Jusrez was an attrsc-
