Funny Story with seriou. Moral.


A correspondent writes: "Your
good story of W. S. Gilbert reminds
me of still better one that poor
Corney Grain used to tell of the
Bah balladist. Mr.. Gilbert was on
visit to a friend. On the morning
after his arrival he was chatting
with his host before breakfast
when he became suddenly aware that
the family prayers were about to
be read The household filed in, and
the distinguished guest knelt down
on the spot where he happened to
be standing. Looking up he caught
his hosts eye fixed on him with a
warning glance, which he, however,
failed to read Alright. The service
began: Almighty Father, who has
made all men alike (more tele-

THE VALLEY OF UNREST.

This is the valley of sweet unrest,
Where we dream the dreams that we love
the best,
Meath dying sun in a darkening west;
And after the dreams
We wake In pain.
And pray to. God
To dream again
In the dim, deep valley. of sweet unrest!
This is the valley of sweet unrest:
The child, in a dream, seeks the mothers
breast,
And the lips of Love to our lips are
pressed. --.--'---' 49,
And we wake, and weep
That the dreams are vain,
And cry to God
= To dream again
In the desolate valley of sweet unrest!
ALAS, for the valley of sweet unrest!
To live for a. dream in a dream unblest-
The locks of Love by a dream caressed!
Never the dew
OF the bloom to drain,
Famished for sunlight
And starved for rain,
With that sigh of Eternity-"God knows
best"

ST. BERNARD DOGS.
koble Breed That Furnishes Won
derful Instances of Intelligence
4 and Bravery.

A New England mill owner allowed
his pet ST. Bernard to sleep in the OF
flee, quite near his house, says writer
in Country Life in America. As he I'M
locked the door one morning he heard
low growl, and there stood the dog
over the PROSTATE body of man. AS
the mill owner approached the man
tried to arise, but another warning
growl made him drop back, eJaculat-
ing: For Gods sake, call off your dog!
He's been standing over me four
hours" Burglar tools lay beside him.
He was unframed and so was the safe.
A lady who was going on long
journey one summer left her Bremen"
in the care of livery stable keeper,
friend who knew and loved the dog.
Bremen was a very quiet and unob-
trusive fellow, careful to keep out of
the way, yet always near at hand. So
quiet was he that strangers thought
him cowardly, and many times he was
showed about by teasing, human bull
lies-just to see what he would do.
Bremen took all their rough jokes in
good part until one day after his toes
had been trodden on repeatedly by his
chief tormentor. Finding it appar-
emily impossible to provoke the dog,
the bully turned upon the stable keep
er and began wrestling with him. Up
sprang Bremen like tiger, and, push
ing his great body between the men, he
forced them apart. Then, erect upon
his hind legs he put his forepaws upon
his enemy's shoulders and uttered just
one fierce growl. That was enough.
His toes never suffered again.
A threemonths-old pup, by careful
observation, learned the connection be-
tween the pump handle and his supply
of fresh water. When the pan was.
empty and he felt thirsty he would
seize the handle and shake it repeat
edly as we'll as he could. If this pro-
ceeding failed to attract the attention
of any one he would take the pan in his
mouth and, bang it violently against
the pump. AS he grew older he helped
the boys about their farm work-or
tried to-and with very little training
became a good cattle driver, never an
noying the cows by barking in front of
them, but following them closely and
pushing the stragglers gently to per-
suade them to rejoin their friends.
When the door of the cow barn was
opened it was the signal for him to go
down the lane to the pasture and bring
the cattle home. He was proud of his
skill, having been praised repeatedly
for it. One blazing July day a chance
visitor opened the door. Bravo, lying
in the shade, heard and saw. 1t was
hours too early and he was loath to
leave his comfort, but the call of duty
must be obeyed, and away hesped. The
cows were taking their comfort, too,
some resting under the elms, some
standing knee-deep in the cool stream.
Up they had to come. one and all, most
reluctantly, surprised and unhappy.
Bravo never understood why he got
such rating that afternoon.
No other breed of dogs is more adapt
able to changing conditions. Give him
his friends and he is happy, whether
hemmed in by the limitation of city
fiat or free to roam over 100 acres.

AT last, however, Mrs. Dunlop claims to

The name of this medicine is Dodd's Kid

for Mrs. Dunlop.
Everybody is talking about it, and some
people are claiming to have been cured Of
Rheumatism by it.
A Mrs Garrett who lives in Brazils, this

Dodd's Kidney Pills.

introduced here has done so much good in
such short time.

How Auto. Turn Corners.

The facility with which an automo-
bile turns corner depends upon the
fact that its motor-driven axle is in
two pieces, connected with bevel
wheels and pinion. In turning, the
pinion is loosened on its stud, which
permits the two VIII eels, each of which
is solid on its axle, to revolve at diff
ferent speeds.-Scientific American.

ROUGH ON THE SINGLE ONES.

Bachelors are moral degenerates.
From them emenate most of sin and
shame Of the world. They are lack
ing in mental and physical poise.
The life of no individual is complete
unless he or she has life companion
of the opposite sex"
Here in nutshell is the condemna-
tion pronounced upon the unmarried
drews, chaneeIIojri ot the University
of Nebraska, in lecture before stu
dents and friends of the University of
Chicago recently.
Bachelor men in the audience listen
ed and looked foolish. Bachelor girls
gasped in embarrassment. The mar
ried folk present smiled approval
while the brand of the erudite doctor
was being applied.
Providence intended that man and
woman should marry" continued the
speaker. "The world was made for
the family, and not for the individual.
The unmarried Individual of mar
riageable age has no place in society
nor in the scheme of the universe.
individuals who do not form legal
ties with the opposite sex will form
illegal ones. The world does not
want that kind of ties. Marriage is
good thing. The great men and
women of the world-the ones whose
lives were symmetrical and whose
works were best for posterity-have
been married"
Speaking of divorces DR.. Andrews
said:
"Hasty marriages do more evil to
the marriage relation than anything
else. Early marriages ought to be
discouraged. No one should marry
before the age of twenty-one twen-
ty-fve is the best age.
"The ease with which divorce is
secured in this country is the greatest
foe to marriage, and, in fact, creates
divorces which otherwise would not
have been thought of. The injustice
done to the children by divorce in
the family is so great that no Ian
guage can do justice to it. No one
who has ever been divorced can pass
through the experience unharmed.
With it goes the best possibilities of
life of service to this world never
to return.'

IS WEALTH A BURDENS

The profound fatigue with which
the public has come to regard all of
the stories setting forth Andrew Car
negie's digust for money is somewhat
accumulated by the editorial announce
ment by the New York ES'ening Post
that nothing could be further from
the ideas of Mr.. Carnegie than that
his daughter should now or at any
time in the future be burdened with
excessive wealth, and that neither he
nor Mrs. Carnegie regards great riches
as in the least desirable. The ab-
surdity of this twaddle is demonstra-
ted by Mr.. Carnegie's eager pursuit
ofmoney, and the tenacity with which
he holds to it. His gifts for personal
glorifcation are considerable, but
they represent a very small proper
tion of his income. He has never
been, so far as the public knows, iden-
titled with solitary benefaction to
relieve the actual necessities of hui
manity. He has founded no hospitals
and he has endowed no homes for the
poor. His libraries are merely mon
uments to his own name, and they
have caused so small a subtraction
from his fortunes as to be impercepti-
bic. The greed with which Carnegie
practiced in making his fortune and
the vanity which he displays over
its possession are the surest guaran-
tees that he will die with most of it
sticking to him. He is an industri-
Gus poser, but his pretensions to phi
lantropy don't fool the people in the
least. His acting as an altruist would
really be rated as very bad in third
class theatre.

A Long Contest.

1t was iifty-two years ago last Sat
urday that the America won the
Queens cup in race in British waters
in which there twas no second boat.
And since then numerous attempts
have been made to build and man n
boat that could come over to this side
and win it back again; and no attempt
has succeeded, or come near enough
success To cause even momentary an
xiety on the part OF American lovers
Of the sport. 1t IL not that we have
any such wonderful affection for the
cup that we wish to give it up, bun
because to have to give it up ia to nc
knowledge that we have been beaten
at the game in which we have been
the acknowledged first and beaten
by England
Great advance has been made by
both countries in the construction OF
the racers; and through 1T all the
builders on this side have been able to
all the time keep little in the lead,
finding ways TO improve over the old
boat every time new one was built
This year the difference il greater
than it ever was before; and the
challenging boat is 80 fast that it
would be the only one in race with
either challenger or defender in any
race that ever sailed before. 1t il in

too, is in the sailor.

Misiits in business.

Many men suffer from being mis-
placed in business life Could one but
inspect the records OF failures and
disappoiEtments throughout the bust
ness community he would discover
that perhaps half Of these could have
been changed into successes had the
man but been launched on career
for which nature fitted him.
1t is astonishing how large n pro
portion of young men, on the thresh-
old of their business life, are directed
by chance, and enter the 'ong door,
when, if properly guideo -. y might
have chosen the right door, that
which would have led them to sue
cess.
Doubtless great many OF these
mistaken selections OF vocations oc-
cur through 10 much eagerness. The
youth, just from school or home, is 80
anxious to "get to work" that he
eagerly seizes the first opportunity Of
fered no matter how unsuited he
really is for its requirements. Then,
once in the rut, he lacks the chance
or opportunity to get out, and re.
mains miafit all his life.
