ONLY A YELLOW DOG.
Faithful Canine Friend Whose Death
Caused Sorrow.

Caused Sorrow.
II lost faithful friend and helper
few days ago." said a letter carrier,
whose route lies below Canal street,
to a New Orleans Times-Democrat
man. He was a yellow dog, and l
must confess his appearance was not
-er-prepossessing. His hide
was the color of cheap soap, and he
had the disreputable, skulking, tramp
ish bearing peculiar to yellow dogs
generally, but for all that he was
gentleman at heart. We met in the
way of business. His owner was what
letter carriers call a 'throw-out;' in
other words, he lived two extra long
squares from his nearest neighbor and
to deliver the mail he received every
day involved a four square walk for
eacn batch. Four squares means a good
deal to tired carrier, and as a rule
'throw-outs' are anything but popular
with the craft; but soon after | took
the route the yellow dog got to know
my whistle, and would come rushing
TO the corner to get the mail. He kept
that up steadily, rain or shine, for over
year, and never missed q trip. What's
more, he showed Il pride and interest
in the task that were really half hui
man. Sometimes, for instance he
would be little late and find me on
the way to the house when he got out
Of the yard. Then it was comical to
see him come tearing up the street,
every hair bristling, and saying as
plainly as he could, Stop, hold on!
I'm here! Don't bulge another inch!
On such occasions he would always in
sist on going back to the corner, which
was the only place he recognized Of
ficially for the delivery of mail matter
You can judge whether 1 became at
tached to him. Often he would be
waiting for me, cooking his head to
one side and feeling his Importance
from his yellow stump of a tail to his
yellow stump of a nose. If 1 had
nothing for him he showed his dejec-
ton and disappointment as plainly as a
man, but as soon as he saw me sort a
few letters he would give sharp, joy
Gus bark that sounded enough like a
laugh to be the real thing. When his
owner met me the other day and told
me he was dead couldn't say a word
to save my life. l turned around and
walked off, and before l knew it l was
blubbering like a fool"

Chicago Street Car Episode.

Passengers on an east-bound Archer
avenue car were thrown into a panic
last night by the prospect OF a hold
up. At the sight of a wild-eyed man
jerking the bell rope and flourishing q
huge revolver. timid women sought
shelter behind brave men, and the
men behind the stove. Quiet was re-
stored when the real cause OF the dts
turbance was learned. Car 1911 had
been about to cross the switch tracks
at Ashland avenue, when the conduc-
tor asked the man for his fare. lie
took a So bill, and was about to make
change, when he saw the warning
lights ahead. wait a moment" he
said, and darted ahead with his Ian
tern. stop the carl" roared the ex-
citable passenger, who saw the con-
ductor and his S. disappearing down
the track. He's got my money" The
would-be "hold-up" man had reached
the front door, when the car flashed
past the conductor. who was waiting
for the rear platform. The passenger
tried to jump from the car, but found
1t impossible because of the Archer
avenue bridge structure. Then he
made a mad rush for the rear door,
where the conductor met him with a
polite, Don't forget your change, sir"

A Smart American Girl.

An American girl, Miss Burdlett by
name, hopes to make a good thing out
of the coming Paris exposition. She
has bought the Pompeiian house, built
about forty years ago by Prince Je-

poses to transform it into tea and re-

Meals will be served in the atrium,
where musicians will play, just as when
"Plon Plon" gave Italian fetes there.
The mattresses will wear Pompeiian

Miss Burdlett expects to make enough
money during the exposition to pay

tKate Putnam Osgoode, who is native
of Freyburg, Me, contributed this poem
to Harper'S Magazine for March, 1861
Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass
He turned them into the river lane;
One after another he let them pass.
And fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the hill.
He patiently followed their sober pace;
The merry whistle for once was still.
And something Swallowed his sunny
face.
Only boy and his father had said
He never could let his younSster so,
Two already were lying dead.
Under the feet of the trampling Zoe.
But after the evening work was done.
And the frogs were loud in the meadow
swamp.
Over his shoulder he slung his gun,
And stealthily followed the footpath
damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat.
With reSoluIe heart and purpose grim,
Though cold was the dew to the hurrylng
feet.
And the blind bats fitting startled him.
Thrice since then had the lane been white
And the orchards sweet with apple
bloom;
And now. when the cows came back at
night.
The feeble father drove them home.

expended just in this one department
Of the shops. The most expensive
stockings, of course, are those CT silk
of the cobwebbest texture, fine
enough almost to be passed through

embroidered. There are black silk

in delicate hues. Other black stock

in color, woven up the front. Upon

Unto date ParasOls.

The parasol is an important adjunct
to a summer gown. 1t must be becom-
ing, for it is a movable background,
and the clever woman realizes that 1t
should be of color and design that
will harmonic with her complexion
and her general style. The new para
sol is thing of beauty, showing al
most endless variation in the coioring
and kind Of fabric. in design and in
the shape and style of handles. The
exhibits in the shops of these useful
and at the same time highly decora-
tive accessories of feminine dress run
the entire gamut of parasol invention,
from the frivolous and fluffy chiffon
that looks as if fabricated from a fleet
ing summer cloud, to the serviceable
but stylish sunshade of plain silk. A
conspicuous novelty this spring is the
square paraSol, covered with one of
the popular Persian pattern handker-
chiefs. These have bizarre effect but
they are extremely stylish, and may be
carried with almost any costume. Silk
parasOls scalloped around the edge and
trimmed with white silk braid are an
other novelty, and still others are
made of bands of silk joined together
with open hemstitching. Satin para
soils, with velvet polka dots, are very
stylish. These have quite short, thick
natural wood handles. The spangled
parasOl is another novelty, but it is a
little too pronounced and dazzling to
be popular, except with the woman
who has such a large assortment Of
sunshades that she can lay it aside as
soon as she wearieS of the glitter.
The parasols of transparent mate
rails, like chiffon, and those Of lace,
appeal persuasively to the woman OF
essentially feminine taste. They are
very dainty, elegant and extravagant,
but are well fitted to give the crown
ing touch of distinction to an elabo-
rate summer toilette. There Is an end

CHAPTER "

Strange to say. it was almost at
that self-same moment Lille Derwent
at Rawal Pindi, was listening to Prince
Clement Sings suit. The afternoon
siesta, so general and necessary an in
diligence throughout India, was over.
and some hour and half later Lille
was returning from a ride, attended
by her native groom, when she was
joined at the gate of the compound by
the Prince, who was also on horse
back. and escorted by two native
troopers.
The fierce heats and moist seasons of
India had not as yet robbed Lilies
cheeks OF their English roses, and she
was looking particularly fair in her
plain brown holland habit, beautifully
cut and braided with white. pleasantly
suggestive of comfort and GOODNESS.

with long. white ostrich feather.
which suited to perfection her clear
cut profile and the thick coils of her
fair hair. Her light riding gauntlets

covered was only too evident by the
pressure he bestowed upon it.
He himself wore white un:lress uni
form and a sun hat, SO like a mush-
room that it would have been trying

but seemed to set off his dark, good
looking features with an air of dis
tinction.
