WHY THEY WERE POPULAR.
Family Owed Their Pleasant Vacation
to Their Dog.

He who tells this story is the owner
Of a blue-ribbon st. Bernard dog, q
mastery fellow and winner Of admirs-
ton as well as prizes, says the Wash
ington Star. Last summer the dog
went with his master and the family
to a fashionable resort and was there
the center of undiminishsd interest
throughout the season.
1T was the most delightful sum
mer we ever spent, " recited the teller
of the story and the owner Of the dog

the incest as a whole We had eyermet.
Our popularity with the summer col
Ony was most marked, and when the
time came to depart it was with no
end of sorrow that we began to make
our aaieus. Naturally filled uswith
good deal Of pride to think that
those with whom we had sojourned
should wish we were not going to
leave them. But our vanity was
short-lived. There came a shock
which set us all to thinking and won-
dering as to whom the credit for our
prestige was due. 1t happened when
a bright-faced, breezy girl Of Is who
was wont to express her sentiments
without reserve, came to say good-by

she negatively queried in a depressed
tone of voice, and we began to fee
that from her we were to get the most
genuine expression Of regret Of the

THE PRESIDENTS DOUBLE.
Congressman Moody Said to Resemble
Roosevelt in Appearance

"The presidents in the secretary's
Office" whispered an excited messen-
ger to the officials and clerks he met
in the offices and corridors of the
navy department the other morning.
No president since Gen. Grant had yis-
tied the executive departments, says
the Washington Star, and the messen-
gers report naturally caused some ex-
citement among the employees. All Of
them knew President Roosevelt
through his service as assistant secre-
tary, and most Of them made it con-
venient to diff into the secretary's
anteroom with a view Of seeing the
president. They did not see him,
however, because he was not there.
But they did see Representative
Moody, and the messengers mistake
was understood at once. Every presi-
dent has had a double, and Mr.. Moody
is President Rdosevelt's. To those
who know them both, there are many
points Of difference in their appear
anee, but all other persons might cas-
lily mistake one for the other, and il

DEFENDING THE NEST.
Pluck of a Tiny Levsrst When Distur
bance Threatened.

1t had been pouring wet morn
ing and we were in some very dripping
swedes. Hares were numerous, but
we were not shooting them, having as
many as we wanted. A hare went off
rather wild, and one Of the walkers
found that she had just left a nest

Of big turnip, They were not quite
so long as my hand, and each had a
white spot on its forehead. When
the man lifted up a leaf with his stick
to show them better, one Of the lev
erets came out about 18 inches from
the nest, and, jumping up, struck the
stick with its paws, making at the
same time a small snufing grunt.
The other three kept quiet, but this
little chap acted as champion to the
lot, sallying out and striking the
stick four or five times whenever il
was poked at him. Keepers have told
me that grown-up hares will do ex-
actly the same thing to grazing cat

THE BRITISH SUBJECT.
TAs EnElish Law Covering Birth and
Naturalization.

Naturalization.
1t is natural that We, in these Ii iEht
little islands, says the London Tele-
graph, should jealOusly guard the So
eisl advantages, the protection and
field for Advancement which are en-
joyed by those who can claim to be
British subjects. But in the eyes of
the law there is considerable eOnfu-
sion as to the necessary qualifications
which outsiders must show before
they can be admitted to all the privi-
leges of citizenship. On this ae-
count the home secretary appointed
an inter-departmental committee to
report "upon the doubts and diff
eulties which have arisen in eOnnee-
tion with the Interpretation and ad-
ministration Of the acts relating to
naturalization, and to advise whether
legislation for the amending Of those
acts is desirable, and, if so, what
scope and direction such legislation
should-take." " Who is a British sub
ject? The committee point out that;
''Io the common law belongs the
fundamental principle that any per-
son who is born within. his majesty's
dominions is from the moment of his
birth a British subject, whatever may
be the nationality of either or both
of his parents, and however tempo
rary and casual the circumstances de-
termining the locality of his birth
may have BEEN"
The child of an alien enemy born
in part of his majesty's dominions
which is at the time in hostile occupa-
tion is not a British subject. Again.
the child born within the British do
minions of an ambassador or other
diplomatic agent accredited to the
crown by a foreign sovereign is not
British subject. The limits of this
latter exception have not been exact
ly ascertained.
The kings son is always a British
subject, wherever he may be born
With this exception the acquisition
Of the status of British subject by
parents rests on statute law. A per
son whose father or paternal grand
father was born within his majesty't
dominions is deemed a natural-borr
British subject, although he himself
was born abroad.
To the category of PERSONS who arC
} British subjects by reason Of theil
birth having taken place within hi
majesty's dominions must be added
those who are born on board a Brit
ish ship. Some doubt exists as to thu
extent of this rule. There seems t
be no doubt, the committee remark
that a person is a natural Brit

terrible parts Of his experience. Per
haps this is at its worst when i Is not

late Mr. G. W. Stevens, the vareorTe-

in the Egyptian desert.
"We had been iourneying all DAY,
hoping to reach the monastery at

to ride astraddle. Then | decided to

"But now the sun was dipping

half-past five; if we had not sighted
our monastery then, we we're help

one ridge, one dip, one hill was ex-
aetly like every other. We had been
riding ten hours and must have come
so miles; our monastery was only 40.
We had missed it and it was all but

desert, a night without tent, water,
fire or fodder was the very best we had
to look forward to. The wOrst-but

ITALY WILL SEND CRUISERS
Troubles Coming Thick and Fast
Upon Venezuela.

London, Dec. "a special dispatch
from Rome says that two cruisers have
been ordered TO be put in commission
for immediate active service These
vessels, the dispatch adds. are thought
to be going to Venezuela.
It is thought in London that the re-
port regarding the Italian cruisers
arises from the fact that Italy has
claims against Venezuela and a dele

this week endeavOring to reach an
agreement with the government IN the
matter of these claims.
