tants were at their evening meal. All
were taken so suddenly without warn
ing that nothing could be done TO save
those who were caught in the rushing
water. Homes, stores and all build

town were torn loose and driven on
ward, one jam causing the water to pile
into another, and then sweep away
again, causing more buildings to go.

Cover lifting Trick.

Boast that without lifting the cover
you can eat piece of cake from a
covered dish containing quantity of
cake.
The way to do it: Pick up the dish,
stoop over it, quickly duck both it and
your head under the table for second.
Then, going through all the motions of
eating, says the Philadelphia North
American, place the dish back on the
table. Some one is sure to lift up the
cover to see If you really did get some
cake. AS he does it you should prompt
ly thrust your fingers in, snatch bit
of cake and eat it. Now. you actually
have eaten piece of the cake without
having lifted the cover. What you did
before was mere trick to get some
one to lift the cover for you.

The strong attachment of dogs to hui

Mrs. Sarah Bolton in her book on
The Dog" referring to the steadfast
faithfulness of all kinds of dogs, from
terrier to st. Bernard, mentions the
case Of one found by Leland Stanford,
Jr., for whom the great university in
California is memorial
One day when Leland was about ten
years old he heard great tumult in
the street and darted out of the house.
He came back covered with dust,
holding a homely yellow dog in his
arms Before his mother could reach
him he had fed to the telephone and
summoned the doctor Thinking from
the agonized tones of the boy that some
Of the family must be very i'll, the
doctor hastened TO the house.
At first his professional dignity was
belittled at being confronted with a
dusty, excited boy holding a dirty mon
grel with a broken leg. But the ear
nest, innocent face of the boy disarm-
ed him, and he took the boy and the
dog to veterinary surgeon, who wash
ed and dressed the dogs wounds and
then turned him over to his new mas
ter
The boy took care Of the dog until 1t
recovered, and 1t repaid him with a
devotion that was touching.
When the boy died in Italy, his body
was brought to the marble tomb in
Palo Alto. The little yellow dog had
been waiting his masters return from
Europe. When he did not return, the
dog knew that something was wrong
and after the body was placed in the
tomb lay down in front of the door
and could not be coaxed away even for
food. One morning they found him
there dead and buried him next to his
protector and friend

South America. This is only an
other notice that, outside of the

rent expenses. 1t all points to the
old fact that when silver was demon
etized it was an unspeakable crime
The nations who are borrowing our
gold have in circulation, beside what
metallic money they own, just as
much paper money as they can keep
at par. Still, with all they have and
all they can borrow, they are short of
the material which makes active and
extensive trade possible. Then
where half the worlds workers are
congregated, they have no money
they have no means of borrowing,
famine is raging and there is moth
ing with which to buy the starving
food This surely is mighty in
dictment of the few men who, to
make money for themselves, hired
newspapers and corrupted the public
opinion of the world until half the
metallic money of the world was con-
verified into merchandise. But the
causes which prompted this mistake
and crime have passed away. The
bonds have in the main all been called
