The Self Respectinx Dog.

No self respecting dog will bite fe-
male except in the EXTREMIST need of self
defense. though am sorry to say that
the lady herself, as rule. has no scruple
whatever about Furnishing to the full ex-
tent of her power any individual of the
opposite sex that happens to be inferior
to her in size or strength, and indeed,
like the woman in the crowded bus. she
Is inclined to demand her privileges as
rights. A vixenish female will make
more trouble in pack Of hounds than
any three of the sterner sex. for when
ever dissatisfied she hasn't the slightest
reserve about speaking out at once, and.
as her cause is extremely likely to be
championed upon general principles by
some chivalrous male, free fight is fire.

DIRT CLEARANCE,

In collections centuries old, to be seen
in both China and Japan, are specimens
of the most remarkable drawings In the
world. pictures of all kinds drawn with
the thumb nail. The nails Of the thumb
on the left hand of the artists Of thess
are allowed to grow to an enormouD
length, sometimes to foot or 1S inches.
and are then pared down to pen shaped
point.
Dipping this oddly constructed pen in .
beautiful yermilon or sky blue ink, tn
only kinds Of ink used in these sacred
thumb nail drawings, the artist graceful
ly outlines his work. Occasionally the
bold touches from the studio Of a master
in this department Of "high art" are life
size and are sketched by few sweeps Of
the artists arm. Like other pictures and
sketches of the orient, these sacred
thumb nail pictures are mounted and roll
ed up like scrolls.

LOVES COMING.

Che had looked for his coming as warriors come,
With the clash Of arms and the bugle's call,
But he came instead with stealthy tread
That she did not hear at all.
She had thought how his armor would blaze In
the sun
As he rode like prince to claim his bride.
In the sweet dim light Of the falling night
She found him at her side.
She had dreamed how the gaze Of his strange.
bold eye 7 y
Would wake her heart to sudden glow.
She found In his face the familiar grace
OF friend she used to know.
She dreamed how his coming would stir her soul,
As the ocean is stirred by the wild storms
strife. -
He brought her the balm OF heavenly calm
And peace that crowned her life

whip as he warped to the lee of the
ships broker, who was negotiating Nor
the grog. Il knew man in Calcutta
who killed lascar because he insisted
upon using mustard with his rice. He
was unreasonable. But since l have
knocked off going to sea and have cruised
alongshore among some Of these landiub-
bers l feel like committing justiiable
homicide myself. The drycobs seem to
rub me the wrong way. tx other night
! set off on voyage up Broadway. 1t
was as black as Welch in the lower hold,
except for where the electric beacons at
the street corners winked their friendly
rays. l don't know why l never noticed
It before, but aloft on every other build
ing the house flags were flying, and there
were ensigns up there in plenty too.
'lf there is anything that makes me
hot in the collar it is to see flag, espe-
cially national one, flying at night. I
never saw one at sea, save on one occa-
sion. That was when pack of Italian
looms abandoned their craft and didn't
know enough etiquette to haul their col
ors down. There is something uncanny
to sailor folk in the sight of flag flying
by night. don't know why. but it just
freezes my blood. Tfelt SO mad the par
ticular night Of which l speak that if I
had had hatchet or a crowbar l would
have knocked in a few of the lower gang
ways that they call doors and climbed
aloft to teach the landlubbers few les
in pNoI m
lean flag up on Washington Heights that
the Sons or Daughters Of the Revolution
placed on liberty pole. That flag
hasn't been lowered at night in years. l
have heard old sailors swear over the
neglect many times.
Another thing that makes me find
fault with the andlubbers is that they do
not know how to walk along the side
walks. 1t is with the greatest delight
that they cross your bows, or give you a
poke in the ribs with their elbows, or
walk all over your feet say that if
shore people were to sit down for few
hours and study the rules Of the road as
provided for the sea there would be less
confusion on Broadway and the big
streets during the busS hours. Red to
red or left side to left side when passing
in opposite directions would be a golden
rule on the land, as it is on the deep.
And the fellow who does the most collid-
ing on the street is the chap who says,
Let us go up stairs when he gets aboard
ship. He is the same chap, too. who
blocks the doors Of the big business en-
frances when he wants to have friendly
chat with green landlubber like him
self. Blocking gangway aboard ship Is
an objectionable offense. Irepeat that
don't stand Endorsement to the man in
Calcutta who killed that lascar. He was
crank. But l do wish we had few
more like him in this big metropolitan

The Lily of France.

There is pretty tradition about the
lily of France. Three black toads form
ed the curious device on the shield Of
king Clovis, but one night, as an aged
hermit sat musing in his lonely cell, there
appeared an angel before him bearing a
shield of wondrous beauty. On it's azure
front three golden lilies shone like radi-
ant stars. This shield the angel bade the
hermit deliver to Queen Clothilde. Re-
ceiying the celestial shield, Clothilde gave
1t to the king, whose arms thenceforth
were always victorious.-Journal of Edu-

worker In the hotel business, and
Whereas, the many good qualities
exhibited by the deceased In the exer-
else of bis authority as well as IN the
ordinary relations Of life made him
dear to US and remain in our memories
the element of sweetness In the deep
bitterness Of our SORROW, therefore,
Be 1t resolved That we sincerely
sympathjze with the family of the de-
ceased in their great loss and we in
woke the blessings of an sll-wfse and
bepevolent Providence upon the be :
reaved ones. Knowing that she do
eth all things well' we bow in submis
sion to this trial, also
Be it resolved; That it is our hearty
conviction that not only the family
and friends of the departed have suff-
cred loss, but the race has lost one OF
its real working leaders, one who In
succeeding himself has been able and
willing to help others of the race to
succeed. In his line of work no man
makes permanent success except as
he exhibits many rare and beautiful
qualities. An innate generosity to all,
perennislly blessoming in finest cours-
esy In dealing with his guests, won
derful tact in the management of his
employ ees, were combined in him with
that diligence in business which was
long ago described as making a man
fit "to stand before kings" His life
has not been lived in vain. His monu'
ment will be reared In the hearts of
thousands of friends and will illus trate
the beautiful thought that,
"To live in hearts we leave behind US is
net die.'

gest fish is reported to have been caught
by Mr.. Edw. G. Allen, who, however
failed to land his fish.
