Made His Master Take Pocketbook.

Arthur Il. Dingwell, an inspector of
the Hartford Electric Light company,
is accompanied on his early trip at
night by very intelligent dog. About
10 O'Clock at night the dog goes home
and guards the house against burglars
few nights ago, while making his
rounds, Mr.. Dingwell saw his dog pick
up something in the street. When
he reached a lamp the dog held a
pocketbook up to him TO take, but Mr..
Dingwell did not think 1t was worth
anything, as 1t had been found In
the middle Of the road and had very
rusty appearance. After he had driven
his horse about four miles and the
dog had trotted by the side of the
team, the dog again held up the pocket
book for his master to take. Mr..
Dingwell did not like to get his hands
muddy by taking the purse. The dog
continued to hold 1t. and after few
more miles had been covered Mr..
Dingwell decided to reward the dogs
perseverance by taking the pocket
book. He found So bill inside

There was in Washington a few
years ago an old negro who was noted
for his recollections Of all the famous
statesmen of antebellum days. To him
one day came a rather pompous mem.
Der of comparatively recent Con-
gress, who resembled some of the ia
nous forensic giants of old only in his
capacity for ardent spirits. He had
his customary cargo aboard and was
inclined to be colloquial. So he ad.
dressed the old negro patronizingly:
Uncle Daniel, ! understand that you
used to know Webster, Clay, Calhoun
and all the celebrated statesmen of
tefore-the-war times" "Oh, vas, sub;

old negro. "Well, Daniel, l have been

OUT OF THE RACE.
One Page Of the House Is Thoroughly
Up to Date.

A certain member of the house, who
was defeated for reelection, had for
four years as a favorite one of the
little pages Of the house. The mem.
Der was constantly doing little things
to please the boy, of whom he was
very fond.
When the member returned this
winter the page seemed to be un.
aware Of his existence. He never Wis.
tied him, and failed to take luncheon
with him, as he had often done. The
member, mystifled, called him one
day and inquired the reason for the
breaking off of the friendship.

page, You have been defeated, and
am only playing favorites. so, you
see, can't be bothered with you any
