Sol Smith Russell and the Dog.

Sol Smith Russell was once forced
to accept the hospitality of a family
where table manners were unknown
and coarseness prevailed. The people
were liberal hearted, though, and treat
ed the actor generously.
For every favor received, for each
dish passed or question asked Mr.. Rus
sell responded with THANK you'' or
other grateful acknowledgment.
This constant "Thank you" annoyed
the host and his family. In despera-
ton, they finally asked Mr.. Russell to
omit it.
'Impossiblev' said the actor. II was
taught to be grateful. A good habit is
as hard to break as a bad one"
'Nonsensew exclaimed the man of
the house, Inundated by the rebuke.
Nothing is impossible"

A Wonderful Dream.

1t was in the days of Philip the Good,
duke of Burgundy, that cobbler
mounted a royal throne. AS the duke
was travelling one night to Bruges he
came upon a man stretched upon the
ground sound asleep, and bade his at
tendants carry him to the palace, strip
off his rags and place him, robed in
fine linen, in his own bed.
When the man awoke next morning
he was addressed as your highness"
and astounded to find himself among
such rich surroundings. In vain he
protested that he was no prince, but
a poor cobbler; they asked him what
clothing he would wear, and at last
conducted him, splendidly dressed, to
mass in the ducal chapel. Every cere-
mony was observed throughout the
day, the cobbler appeared in public in
his new role, was received on all sides,
by command of the duke, with deep re-
spect, and ended his brief reign in the
palace with grand supper and ball.
When presently he fell asleep he was
reclothed in his rags and taken to the
spot where he had been found when
this practical joke was conceived.
Waking in due time he returned home
and related to his wife what he took to
be his wonderful dream.

Silly Billy From Bolton.

In a certain town in the north of
England there is man known by
the name of Silly Billy. Not feeling
well one day, he sent for the doctor.
After examination the doctor asked
him if he would take a note to the
Model Lodging house and he would
give him sixpence. So Billy, not liking
to refuse, said he would. But on the
way there he came across street
sweeper that he knew. He told the
sweeper where he was going, but he
said If he would take the note he would
give him threepence. So off he went
and gave the landlord the note, and he
found the following written:
"Giye this man a bath and keep him
in till tomorrow morning, and 1 will
call and see him.
So the following morning the doctor
came and was shown into his room.
Looking at the man, he exclaimed:
"This is not the man 1 sent"
mo, it's not, and I'll pound Silly
Billy's head off when 1 see him!" the
sweeper replied.-London Telegraph.

Dear mel" exclaimed little Mrs Rip
ley to her husband, the doctE. Mari
pms whooping cough is just dreadful.
pnd here we've shipped off all your
drugs. 1 don't know what we'll do
Can't you go out and get some en-
brocation or some carbocene? The
poor child really needs it."
Young DR.. Ripley was busy mailing
some bulky wooden packages together.
He stopped suddenly and sucked a fin
ger which he had macerated with the
hammer. Then he shook his head
Nance" he replied, 81 don't see how
we can. I've got just exactly enough
to pay our fares down to Longwood,
our new town, and the medicines cost
money even to doctor. She'll have to
stand it the best she can for the pres
? ent.'
There was wild commotion in the
back room, and the young mother
sprang to the rescue. In five minutes
she returned with the child 'Tt's just
dreadful, Howard" she repeated.
Howard stopped again and glanced
at the little girl with a professional
air. 81 don't know, Nance" he re-
turned, ''but that I can do something
for her after all. I've got little spare
change. I'll go down to the grocer S
and come right back"
When he returned, he went down
stairs, and, with the aid of a saucer
and a discarded spoon, he mixed some
mysterious ingredients together.
Here, now" he exclaimed, appear
ing on the landing, you rub her on the
outside with this and give her some in
ternally too. 1t may do some good"
The mother and the child retired to
the back room. DR.. Ripley waited. Fl
nally they came out.
More" pleaded the youngster. Il
want some more. 1t tastes like sugar"
The next day they had installed
themselves in their new but dingy lit
tie home in an obscure street in Long
wood. The young physician at once
hung out his sign and then started to
put things to rights.
"Do you know, Howard" said Mrs.
L
for Marion really did her some good
after all? What was it? She hasn't
been nearly so bad as she was"
DR.. Ripley Strengthened up. Let me
take a look at her. l haven't had time
to notice her much, I've been so busy.
The youngster was produced. The
young physician looked at her crit
ically.
"She does seem better" he admitted
"she certainly does.'
"And what did you give herr" in
quired his young wife.
DR.. Ripley leaned his head on his
hand and thought. He had sudden
idea. He gazed not at his wife, but
beyond her. He was looking into the
future. His wife joggled his elbow.
what was it?" she repeated.
"Oh," he returned, that stuff! Why
that was-yes, that was the-the Balm
Of Thousand Flowers; that's all. And
it's a good thing after ALL"
Balm of a Thousand Flowers! ex-
claimed Mrs. Ripley. II never heard
Of itr'
Neither did l." returned the doctor
until now. But that's what it was
nevertheless. And it's good thing,
he added half to himself. "and I'll try
| it on
The next day he secured the printers
Offices and finally got one to extend
him credit, and night or two later he
was mysteriously absent from his
home.
The day after the town, small as ii
was, fairly blossomed with large but
neat placards which read as follows:
Amador ledger., 1903-08-07

People stood and gazed at it and
wondered what it was. Balm of a
Thousand Flowers" 1t had an attrac
tive oriental sound. "Yes," thought DR..
Ripley to himself, II am sure that it
will SELL"
But there was a trifling error in his
reckoning.
That error was due to the insignifi-
cant fact that in Longwood at present
there was not single case of Group or
whooping cough except that of his
small daughter. DR.. Ripley sat for a
few minutes and thought about 1t.
Nance" he said after awhile, "1f
you want that child to get better you
must let her get out in the open air.
Medicine can do much, but air is the
important thing after all. Send her out
and let her play"
But, Howard" protested his better
half, there's no place for her to go but
in the street. We haven't any back
yard, you know. And tie street is full
of children, and they'll take it."
Howard shook his head. Full of
children!' he muSed. Well, sell pfeSer-
vation is the first law of nature, and
she must have the air. Send her out.
The children must take care of them
selves"
The doctors youngest was compan-
ionable little girl and soon made
friends, and she speedily became ex-
ceedingly popular because she could do
certain things the others couldn't do
Some of the things that she could do
were to stand on one leg and wind the
other round it and double herself into
human knot and grow black in the face
and utter wild west yells of warfare.
She didn't enjoy these things, but they
did, and whenever she started in she
was surrounded by an interested

Tip Of the rocks
Anice felt him tremble as she slipped
into his arms. Her own heart beat
furiously-she was beginning to find
out what his presence or his absence
would mean in her life. But she
smiled back at him bravely when at
last they stood hand in hand upon the
craggy pinnacle. The sun sank, a
globe of crimson, filling the whole
world with rosy radiance. In that
transiguring illumination Anice had
the face of an angel, serene, transpar-
ent to inner light. Cliffe laid his hand
softly over hers and said very low, "It
is hard to go down from all this to

Anice said untruthfully, turning away
her telltale eyes, Cliffe caught both
her hands. II think you do know" he
said. Anyway you know we love

shall we do?''
Easily answered-for you," Anice
said, her lips trembling. "You are 60

But you and my heart? Dare 1
leave both behind me?' Cliffe said very
low, his voice thrilling strangely.
Il could not love thee, dear, so much

almost under breath. "We-we are

cried, catching her to him in breath
