A Wise Newfoundland Dog.

Some years ago vessel was driven
on the beach Of Lydd, in Kent, Eng
land. The sea was rolling furiously.
Eight poor fellows were crying for
help, but boat could not be got off,
through the storm, to their assistance,
and they were in constant peril, for
any moment the ship was in danger Of
sinking. At length gentleman came
along the beach accompanied by his
Newfoundland dog. He directed the
animals attention to the vessel and
put short stick IN his mouth. The
intelligent and courageous animal at
once understood his meaning, sprang
into the sea and fought his way
through the angry waves toward the
vessel. He could not, however, get
close enough to deliver that with
which he was charged, but the crew
understood what was meant and they
made fast rope to another piece Of
wood and threw it toward him. The
dog at once dropped his own piece Of
wood and Immediately seized that
which had been thrown to him, and
then with degree of strength and de-
termination scarcely credible for he
was again and again lost under the
waves-he dragged it through the
surge and delivered it to his master.
A line Of communication was thus
formed with the ,ssel and every soul
on board was rec ucd.

A Reflection OIL the Judge.

In an address before the Virginia
State Bar association, James =. Har-
rison, Of the Danvillc bar, told this
story of an eminent judge in Virginia,
who sat on the bench with his feet up
before him, showing his solcs.to coun-
sci and audience:
''Thc defense had offered little
negro as witness for their client,
and the commonwealth attorney
challenged the witness as too young
to testify
when the pickaninny had been
sworn on the Holy Evangelists, he
was asked by the commonwealth 5 at
torncy what he had done.
"'I swoad, he said
And what will happen to you

ed.

rs that all?' insinuatcd the de-
fcndant's attorney.
"No, sab. De dcbblc, he'll get

"And then the judge took his feet
down, and leaning over the bench with
menancing finger, said:
Yes, and III get you too, sir!'

Queer story of n Grave.

a curious barren mound is TO be seen
in Montgomery churchyard. What
ever the cause, there is plainly to be
seen n strip of sterility in the form of
a cross among a mass of verdure. With
the mound a melancholy legend is con-
nccted. 1t is called Roberts Grave"
and the story is that beneath this bar
rem hillock lie the remains of an in
nocent man who was hanged on mis-
taken evidence 1t is said that while
the man stood on the gallows with
the rope round his neck he solemnly
declared, as a proof of his innocence,
that grass should never grow on his
grave. And even so it was and is.
Any one who attempts to Illustrate the
fultllment of this prophecy by sowing
grass on this spot pays the penalty
with his life. Instances are given of
individuals who have been rash enough
to do so and have met their doom soon
afterward.-CardiffW Western Mail.

WOMEN OPPOSE WOMEN.
The State of Affairs Said to Exis4 In
the Government Service.

the Government service.
"Why is it that women are practical
Iy debarred from receiving promotions
to the higher places in the government
service" asked Il government clerk of
a quarter of century's experience.
The question WIS put TO several ladies
in the treasury department Before
any one of them had time to reply the
questioner proceeded to answer his
own interrogatory.
1T is because they are held back by
members of their own SEX" he said.
''Some time ago n lady in one division
/ know of was so favorably regarded
that she would have been made chief
of that division, but as soon as her
prospects became known her fellow
clerks of the same sex became indig-
nant and united in protest. They de-
clared that they could never work IN
der her; that they would Il thousand
times rather have a man than a woman
to boss them. They wouldn't allow
her to lord it over them.
THAT is only n sample of many
cases. Women can be depended upon
to antagonize women under such cir
cumstances. Not only did they do so
in the case l have cited. but they ac-
tually gave the marble heart and the
icy hand to this woman after they de-
feated her prospects Of n promotion.
/ am satisfied that one Of the most in
huential obstacles TO women in their
effort TO secure equal recognition with
men comes from their own sex"
The man who asked and answered
the question then moved off before his
audience of lady clerks had an opportu-
pity to reply to his assertions.-Wash-

General Lee went one day to the store

instantly eager TO see him, and in
few moments the store was crowded.
