Grace, and Grace returned the COM

Now, Phil Donnelly, the father Of

fault, If fault it can be called, and that
was vanity-vanity in his musical
prowess-and to such a pitch did he
carry it that one evening, at a merry

LONDON JACK.
Dog That Has Collected $500 for An
Orphanage.

In quiet part Of southeastern
London there is what Is known as the
i. I. 4 s. N Railway Orphanage In
this home. there are ,150 children
whose fathers have died in the sery-
ice of the London g. Southwestern
railway. Eight thousand dollars
must be found each year to meet the
expense offeeding, clothing and edu-
eating these boys. and girls Among
the friends Of the charity there IS one
one who gives. his time 50 willingly
to the work of securing the means to
carry on the enterpris that be has be-
come famous. His name is London
Jack.
London Jack Is. only dog, says
Our Animal friends, but he has many
times collected the money which has
bought food and. clothing for these
fatferless little enes Hesisl provided
witlisa brass collecting box, which is
strapped on his back, andshe looks
not unlike small pack horse as he.
makes his way through the crowded
streets of London
Since he began the work Of collect
ing, Jack has returned over $500. In
one month he secured $50 for his lit
tie friends, and on. the one afternoon
which IS called record day., he re-
turned with sl9 IL his little, KNAPP
sack.
But all work and no play would
make Jack dull dog, so he has his
time for sport He is what is known
as d retriever. breed Of dogs. which
have been trained ID swimming and
recovering things from the, water.
After hi. days work Jack is taken
down to the wharf by the River
Thames and il allowed to. splash in
the water to his heart content. It
is pleasant sight to see him
swim far ont III the river among
the barges, grasp stick which
has been tossed there, and re-
lnrns and lay, itsat the feet of his
master This he does as aithfully as
he brings back his daily contribution
for the children of the orphanage.

we're at a premium. An atrocious
crime had that day been committed,
and every member was reading the

Expressions Of horror and disgust.
Suddenly, says the New ! YorkH Herald, !,
d luA came over the crowd, and two
small voices were heard above the
modified din discussing the law Of
human nature which made people
lean toward curiosity even in its NOR
bid tendency. The small voices grew
louder and the argument stronger,
until at last aman, in tones Of nndis-
guised pity turned. to the disputantsl
and said:
So you think we are all filed with
morbid curiosity z?
One Of the small voices replied that
it looked very much as if fthet was the
