Rex INSISTED ON PoLITENEss.-A
dog with whom my friend, Major Nc
Farland, formed a friendship was an
animal Of high degree named Rex
They became very fond Of each other
and Rex called to see his friend very
often and generally stayed long.
One night something had gone rath-
er wrong and the major was in bad
humor. Rex went up to have a little
visit with him, and he said roughly
You go home, Rex!" Rex went home
at once. When the major saw him
again and spoke to him in the usual
friendly way he would have naught
to do with him; would not wag his tail
nor even look up into the offenders
eyes.
The major really felt badly about II
and told the master the story Of the
unfortunate misunderstanding. The
master told the penitent major that
Rex was very sensitive, but quite for
giving. He thought few well-con-
sidered attempts at reconciliation, and
perhaps an offer of some delicacy after
one Of the attempts, might bring about
good results.
But the next time you want to send
him home you must say 'Goodby, Rex,
not go home, Rex.!'" said the master
At last Rex and the major made up
After they had lived on terms of re-
sealed friendship a few days the ma
jor's curiosity led him to try the ex-
pertinent, and one night, about the
time for the dogs master to be at
home he addressed the animal politely
and said.
well, goodby, Rex"
Rex looked up with something like a
smile, wagged his tail and trotted
home, not in the least offended as II
would seem, for he returned in the
best of humor next morning.-Spring-
field Republican.

JUDGE NOT ALARMED.-One Of the
best known Of our circuit judges has
an enemy, lawyer who had once been
his unsuccessful opponent in politics,
in one of the towns on his round, and
was generally subjected to some af-
front when he reached there, says the
Philadelphia Times. The lawyer took
so little pains to conceal his contempt
that one Of the judges friends was
moved to ask:
Why don't you squelch h? He
needs it,"
The judge laid knife and fork across
his plate. folded his hands, and, SEEM
ingly apropos of nothing at all. said:
up in my home town there's a wild
ow with an ugly yaller dog that, when
ever there is moonlight. sits on her
steps and howls until she can't sleep,
and generally keeps it up until day
light"
He then resumed his dinner. The
friend looked at him in amazement and
then inquired.
well what Of it?"
Well" said the judge slowly. the
moon keeps right on"

You would never have thought that

New York World.
 It was only the other day that Sir Nor man Lockyer. speaking to an assemhlage of British men of learning. declared in substance that American educational en- dowments so far exceeded those of HIS own country as to account for the latter falling to the rear in manufactures, arts and commerce. And yet, though within tive years past private benefactions to higher educational institutions in the United States have exceeded N,OO0 .00O-at the rate. that is. of more than $l.OOO, 00O a month-it is shown by Elizabeth M. Monthly, that there are whole masses of population in this country stil in a state of educational starvation. The writer observes that the young men of New England and of the North Central States have most profited by the generous flood of gifts to higher education; next to them the young men and women of the Middle States and the West; but least of all the white population of the South. And bv the white population we do not mean the poor whites" nor the mOuntaineers, nor the crackers" nor any other class tra- ditionally aloof from educational intiu- ences, but the white race in toto. The South" also should be defined. For our purpose here 1t means the ten s-Mis- sissippi slave States and Louisiana. since the slave States further West have been subjected to influences which have left the first group untouched.
 Comparing the records of the countrys higher educational institutions lssueu Dy ling facts in suDport of this assertion are found. @ T Out t of total of sl57,OOOOoO of productive funds held by American col ieges the South has but sl5iOOo'c0o: of g. 5O0OO0 books in college libraries the South holds but | OGO: the value of her sci entitic apparatus is a little over $1.OOO.OOO: aRainst a total valuation of $l7.O00.OOO and of grounds and buildings dn ,oS sSSOOO0 in to- come available for the higher education in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama.
