whittlor's Love OF His Friends.

''No lapse of years dimmed Whit.
tiers steady friendships" writes
Samuel T. Pickard, who contributes
a series of letters that passed between
Gail Hamilton and the poet, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. One of tho
letters that Whittier wrote to Gail
Hamilton is dated September, 1887,
when the poet was in his eightieth
year:

Story Of Ixip,Iur,s Child.

This tale has to do with Kipling's
little lost Josephine. Once the poet
was driving up Arundel street in Lon
kon toward the Strand when, all of u
sudden, the hand of the bobby"
ahead was raised. The word was
passed down the street that Her Ma
jesty was coming along the Strand on
an official visit TO the Lord Mayor at
the Mansion House Josephine had
never seen the Queen and Kipling
thought it was a good opportunity to
in9til little reverence in her. He
raised the child high in his arms that
she might see Victoria. The outriders
pranced by, followed by the royal car
riage When it was all over, and the
finger Of the law was lowered, Kip
ling put down the child He said,
"Well, Josephine, what did you think
of it?"
Much to his amazement the child
replied, Papa, did you see the
funny red soldiers on horseback"
Thereafter Kipling never exerted
himself to point out Her Majesty to
any member of his family.

A Bear. a Dog and a Tragedy.

One of the interesting features Of
the grounds surrounding the Soldiers
Home is the bear pen, just across tho
track from the main building; and tho
old black animal therein has been
watched for hours at time by the
veterans when time hung heavily upon
their hands. He is said to be inoffen-
sive and entirely free from a quarrel
some disposition, and none of the old
men would ever have believed that the
bear would harm kitten or break tho
crust on a meat pie.
They know differently now, how
ever. They saw tragedy not long
ago which changed their minds and
materially increased their opinions
about his bearship. Among the visi-
tors one afternoon were a woman and
little fellow, and he had one Of
those cute little terriers in his arms.
He was delighted over the bear, and
became so enthusiastic that he dropped
his dog. The little pup scented a
bone belonging to the bear, and he ran
between the bars of the cage to grab
it. The veterans who were looking
saw one swift movement, about as
rapid as a fash of lightning and they
heard something, A moment later
there was wall from the child. The
body of the dog lay across the pen,
limp and lifeess, ond when it was
fished out of the cage there was hardly
an unbroken bone in the carcass. The
child was inconsolable, the veterans
were surprised, and little wire screen
has been placed about the base of
that pen to keep inquisitive dogs from
committing suicide Grand Rapids

The Wolverine.

The poet Campbell went so far as to
speak Of "Erie's bank, where tigers
creep along" but this way very far
fetched. The wolverine, from which
Michigan has been named, has always
had, however, the reputation of being
most ferocIous creature. These
stories are not wholly unfounded,
although no doubt greatly exaggern-
ted. The wolverine is usually about
two and half feet long without the
tail, which would make a considerably
greater length. It's back is somewhat
arched, its head is broad and round
ing to form its nose. It's legs are
short and thick. The fur is a dark
brown, nearly black in winter, with q
light stripe along the upper part OF
each side meeting on the back, and
another across the forehead. 1t feeds
on small animals and is very fond of
robbing traps. 1t is cassed with the
bear family, but in some respects is
allied TO the weasel tribe. Only at
night does it leave its hiding place.

Overheard In a Public Library.

A Boston journal correspondent
overheard this at the public library:
"Can you tell me where the genea-
logical room is?" asked the pleasant
faced old woman OF the polite colored
attendant.
Genealogical room, ma'am? Vas,
maam. The gin'ral room is up one
fight, ma'am, and the logical room is
up two flights, ma'am. Vas, ma'am. "
