Dewey was as loving to a stranger as
he was to his own regiment, especially
If he thought he could rifle the stran-

some of the soldiers in Dewey's regi-

ed like a magpie and sprang into the
strangers arms. OF course the civilian
was fiattered at this proof of affection.
He stroked Dewey softly and continued
talking 10 his friends. Meantime Dewey

These little creatures are source Of

make pets of them. The one l knew

In conclusion, gentlemen, 1 would
call your attention to the fact that
Mr.. Herbert Spencer makes use of the
nebular hypothesis in the formation
of our planet, which is to be finally
dissipated into the attenuated matter
out of which it arose, and Mr. OAR
win declares that the noble 90 end
TO be attained by man, the object of ev-
olution, is the rearing of the greatest
number of individuals in full health and
vigor and with all their faculties per-
feet under the conditions to which they
are subject What a lame and impo-
tent conclusion to all the grand aspira-
lions of Milton and Shakespeare. of
painter or sculptor, of philosopher or
scientist! That end were better at
tanned by the reproductive sagage. the
swarnning yellow man, the Moslem po-
lygamist or the sturdy Mormon. And
then, when we have attained this grand
anticlimax, we will be 'dissipated into
attenuated matter and the same fool
process will begin over again.
Does instinct deceive? No. The in

Mrs. Potts turned the latchkey in the
hall door of her home. Stealing quietly
in and creeping from the hall into the
anteroom noiselessly. she put her ear to
the keyhole OF the study door
Her bosom heaved with a tumult of
emotions. She was torn with rage and
jealousy. In the paroxysms of anger to
