to get him to sing at private entertain

singer in what he considered the prop
er way. At the close of the evening
he presented De Reszke with a blank

Gently been startled by hearing the
barking of a dog in fields which they
were passing, says the New York
Times. They invariably put spurs to
their pedals, as 1t were, and got out OF
the, way as quickly as possible. This
had occurred to certain party of cy-
clists so frequently that one Of them,
bolder than the rest, dismounted to in
vestigate. He found in the center of a
newly planted field n small shade
thatch, and nearby a stake. to which
was attached a rope, at the other end
of which collie dog was prancing and
barking. There was not human be-
ing in sight and the dog could certain
ly not have been confined there with
the idea of soaring away tramps, for
his antics showed that he was over
joyed to behold the stranger. AS the
sun was very hot in the field, the BIZ
cyclist concluded to rest awhile under
the thatch, still marveling at the situa-
ton Of his canine acquaintance. A few
moments later lonesome cav, cav,
cav" was heard in the air. The dog at
once became attentive; he lay close to
the ground, with his head cooked on
one side. A family of crows presently
alighted in the field. but before they
could begin their meal the dog was up
and at them. The mystery was then
explained. The collie was used as q
scarecrow, and most effective one he
proved to be.

result was religious, and became mani
fest in a decline in the number of con-
verts to the Christian faith and in a
falling off in the membership OF the
Christian churches. Not few aban-
doned Christianity. At the same time
the policy of some of the missions was
modified. Self-support was more and
more insisted upon both in relation to
churches and schools. Contemporary
with these influences has been perhaps
a decline, under the power of an in
creasing materialism, in the interest
and prayers of the churches which
have established the missions. But
there remains a strong body of Japa-
nese Christians and of wise men who,
while they are not protesting Chris
tians, favor Christianity as an elevat-
ing force morally and intellectually,
and contribute to various Christian in
stitutions. There are many tried and
true Christians in official positions and
the number of steadfast adherents to
the Christian faith continues large.
Under the new treaty which throws the
whole empire open to all nations,
desire has arisen to learn English. and
the Bible is sought after as text book
in English. Missionaries and teachers
are in request as teachers Of English.

Some Facts About Our New

Your Uncle Samuel is an inquisitive
fellow. No sooner does he get new
nation or country to play with than,
agurately speaking, he takes 1t apart

isn't exactly like the boy who pulled
up his seeds after they had been plant

The department of agriculture sent
Into Porto Rico Robert T. Hill, a geolo-
gist, to find out something about the
forest conditions of the island. Mr..
Hill went down there, got what he
went after and, having returned, the
results of his examinations are printed
by the department almost as much
with the object of informing Porto
Ricans about their own island as to
tell the people of the United States
what kind of property we bought
with our blood money.
Condensed, here are some of the
most important and interesting parts

Porto Rico originally was mantled

BACKSET FOR A POET.
The Rcciting Rhymster Is SqueIched
by n Golden Haired Tot

He is kindly old gentleman and he
writes sweet little poems about chill
dren. He also has the habit of reciting
his verses by the hour to any willing
or unwilling listener whom he is for
tunate enough to corral, says a Chicago
exchange.
He dropped into the doctors the 9TH
er evening. removed his overcoat and
began. The doctor is a kindhearted
soul and his wife is lady of much re-
finement. They have a little golden
haired girl of five, who sat for a long
time and stared at the visitor solemnly.
He has committed to heart every
thing that he has ever written ard his
poems are innumerable. Occasionally
he would stop, and. smiling at the little
girl. would say: you liked that didh t
you. sissy? That touched you. eh? Oh,
like to have the little children listen
TO me. They understand ME and un-
Gerstand them"
The doctor and the doctors wife oc-
casiona,ly exclaimed "Beautiful." or
"Touching." What else could they do?
Then the poet declared: The won
derng silence of that child is to me
greater praise than the paudits of ad-
miring thousands"
At last the little girl slid down from
her chair and, marching up to the poet
looked him squarely in the eye, while
she asked, inuocently:
"Say. old man, are you goin' 10 stay
here all night? 2"
