head could scarcely look up in the face
Of its mistress. The surprised lady recog-
nized her four-footed guest and refreshed
him with food and water and ever under
stood his %plaintive whine when he feebly
wandered from room to room in vain. He
heard her talking about him at the tele-
phone, but soon he felt too hot and weak
and drowsy to notice anything and all
night long he lay in a fever, feebly whin-
ing through his dreams.
The next morning he could not move for
all the lady's nursing. There was no feel
ing left in his body, though his little dog
heart was sore. But suddenly he was
shaken by a great thrill Of joy-a dear
step coming, a dear voice calling his
name. He tried to leap and could not, but
he nestled close in his mistress skirts and
whined feebly again and again. She took
him in her arms and wrapped him in a
shawl and carried him home on the car,
and when he was put in his own basket
and his dear little master was petting
him again, he was as happy as any little
dog can be.
And SO after a day or two he died
happy; for the long hot tramp to Evans
ton was more than his little body could
endure. Dor the grief-who knows?-
the cruel grief and the sudden joy. Per.
haps his loyal little dog-soul felt all these
things too keenly.

SPEAKER REEDS DOUBLE.
A Resemblance That Once Was Worth
s. 900 to a ST. Paul Drunner-

$4,000 to a ST. Paul Drummer.
New York Sun: A man who travels
out of st. Paul came to New York the
other day, as is his custom several times
a year, and about the first thing he said to
a friend was:
THE death of cx-speaker Reed will re-
lieve me Of a lot of trouble
Then he explained what he, meant. He
is, physically and in some other respects,
the double of Speaker Reed. He has his
peculiar drawl even.
THE sleeping car porters all insist that

I registered my name in q Buffalo hotel,
the clerk sale he supposed it was all

right and went to my room.
In less than an hour a half dozen re-

A Dogs Life
Copyright. 1907, by W. R. IIearst) --B Harriet Monroe
%$*1

This is the true history Of a dog-for
some dogs are folks. Jack was a happy
little fox terrier who lived in In apart
ment not far from the Lake Shore drive.
Al MS life he had ruled the same family,
leading it's mistress out with a chain,
barking its master forth in the morning
and welcoming him home at night and
looking after the merry little son of the
house all day. His little dog-heart was
full of love for these three and even for
the maid who occasionally gave him
chocolate cake.
Thus he lived to be three years old with
never a break in his happiness. The
family could not go anywhere without
him-for more than a few hours at least
and all of their friends laughed at his
tricks and dog gayeties. Life was one
serene and fawless ecstasy and ever the
dogs wagged tails with him in friendli-
ness.
But suddenly there was a great ado of
boxes in the apartment where he ruled;
much packing and putting IN of clothes
and scurrying from room to room. And
then a large man took the trunks away
and all of his three beloved charges put
on hats and coats and said affectionate
words and pats to him and opened the
door and went out without him, and shut
it, and were gone.
For a minute he scratched and whined
n then, as the shut door did not open,
settled down before it to wait. When
hours had passed without bringing his
people he trotted from room to room,
smelling here and there, and looked up
whining at the kind face Of the maid. At
night he slept beside the door, waking
now and then to hope that some APP
preaching football would draw near, alert
for the nnd of the. key in the lock, age
to bark his welcome.
When another day and night had passed
without bringing news of the wanderers
to his lonely little d~og-heart, he made up
his mind that something must be done.
So when the butcher opened the kitchen
door he slipped through it unobseryed and
trotted over to the Fords' big house on
the drive, where he had called often with
his little master to see a girl who lived
there. Soon he had a chance to trot
through the back door with a delivery
man and the little Ford girl was much
surprised to see him running from room
to room with his nose to the ground. and
at last see him come and question her
with a wag of his tail and a mournful
whine She patted him, but could not
answer his dumb question. SC; he ran back
home and Rugged the door again.
After another day he could no longer
endure. the dreary solitude and a new hope
grew in his desolate heart. Once, long
ago. he had gone with his friends ON q
trolley car to Evanston and stayed all
night in a pretty house with green grass
and trees around it. He would find thai
house and his dear ones again. So he fol
lowed a SHINY road for hours n hours,
drinking only once of muddy water on the
way. with never a bit of food. He grew
very tired and often stopped to rest and
hang out his tongue and pant. until at
last long after dark his bleeding feet
could scarcely climb the front steps Of the
house he was looking for and his weary

FIRST STAGES OF CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first. stage of catarrh is what is
commonly known as Catching cold" 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to
cause a chill and considerable fever, or it
may be so slight as to not hinder a per-
son from his usual business. In perhaps
a majority of cases little or no attention
is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and
hence it is that nearly one-half of the peo-
pie have chronic catarrh in some form.
10 neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any one discovers

and the cold is sure to pass away with

Unless this is done the cold is almost
sure to end in the second stage of ca
