MISTAKEN CHARITY.


First make sure of the object of you-
henevolence; then be his benefactor.
s'he newspapers have been circulating
the e'story Of departing visitor to an
insane asylum, who had promised to
air the wrongs Of man, apparently
sane. incarcerated there, SO he de-
clared, by designing relatives who
wished to control his property. He had
quite convinced the visitor Of his san
ity; but at the moment Of parting he
touched HIS arm. and inquired If he
happened to have piece of toast about
him, relates Youths Companion.
NO" was the answer. But why?"
Because" said the sane victim,
gravely, Il am poached egg, and I'm
tired. and / want somewhere to sit
down"
During cold snap last winter a
good woman was obliged, no less sud-
denly, to reconsider the wisdom Of an
act intended as benevolence; butS in
her case the deed was done, and coRld
not be undone. Hurrying home, cold,
tired, and aware that her nose was
frost-bitten, she was yet moved to
pause by the spectacle Of wretched
bull pup qualSing on door step, his
nose TO the crack, lifting il occasion
ally to emit heart-rending howl Of
misery. She mounted the steps and
rang. intending to call the attention of
the inmates to the freezing condition
of their neglected pet; but the bell
would not sound. She then ratified the
latch, and in so doing found the catch
was not down, and that she could open
the door. She did so.
The pup did not stop for thanks He

with her kittens; seized one kitten and
shook the life out of.it; made for the
next--and then the mother lighted on
his back with ''yowl" of fury, and
there was q mad melee Of cat, kittens,
puppy. basket and rug, with fur fly
ing thickly through the air. Doors
opened. and men with canes. maids
with papers and children with tears
came rushing upon the scene.
II was a terrific fight. and when the
benevolent woman went home, after
humble apologies, her heart was sore
and her frozen nose ached; and she
was followed shllxily by strange bull
pup--for he had merely been smiling
at the door for the cat he had chased
home there a. minute earlier; and she
had just paid $50 for damages TO fur
rug and the untimely death Of prize
Angora kitten.
The next puppy who invokes her pity

part of charity, as well as Of valor.

many persons have bought seats for

Last night the actors suffered from an

Washington as to what has really hap

opinion seems to be that J. Pierpont

holdings in the Southeast, thus finally
establishing in that section an invinci-

this subject in the future. but for the
present wished only To object to
declaration OF the Nevada Senator that
Cuba is a dependency. He declared Cuba
is without the slightest doubt an inter
national sovereignty. and that to con-
tend differently is to advance AN alb
solutc legal absurdity
AIR Newlands renlied that the Platt
resolution limited Cuba TO obey this
country,s Will. and that made heI de-
pendent economically and politically.
Mr. Teller said he would argue the
point more fully at some later day
Hale DEGREES Discussion.
Mr. Hale predicted not ten Senators.
perhaps not five. favor the Newiands
idea, and that the harm is done Cuba
by this agitation of the subject of an
nexing the island.
1T has nothing of results in pros
pect, nobody is in favor of it, but 1t
makes mischief concluded the Maine
Senator
The debate was interrupted TO con-
slider and adopt the resolution TO en-
able each of the three new committees
of the Senate TO employ clerk at $500
n year.
No Cause for Alarm
Mr. Newlands took issue with Mr..
Hale on the lat'ar's statement about
taxing the islands, with the intima-
ton that force was intended. But he
held the policy of 100 years past was to
acquire Cuba if it could be done peace
ably.
Mr. CarmaclI again took the floor in
opposition to Mr.. Hale's statement that
agitation OF the Newlands resolution
would only alarm the Cubans regarding
their future independence. IF they are
alarmed. - he said. lit is because of the
action of the United States in using
the navy of this country to assist lot
of French adventures in disembOweling
an American republic It is such con-
duct as this on the part .. our own
Government that makes the Cubans
and others suspicious of US.
The Senate then went into executive
session.
