Current Fancy Work.

A trip through the fancy work de
partment of one of Chicagos big
stores did not reveal many novelties.
People appear to be making about the
same things they have always made,
only the shapes and methods differ
slightly. Typography in the shape of
burnt wood Is still popular. and burnt
and tinted leather novelties are much
in vogue. Perhaps one reason for this
Is the durable qualities OF leather and
It's ready adaptability to use and orna-
mentation. Almost any one who has
attained to any skill In burnt wood,
who is clever at designing and who
has an eye for color can take up the

he sawed out another plece-a kind OF

Homesick.


A few days ago haifstarved, ex-
hausted setter dog strayed into West
Springfield. relates the Springfield Re
publican. His body was gaunt, his
eyes CLASSY, his legs tottering. A man
possessed of the innate necessary re-
quirements for membership In the 80
ciety with long and much abused
name. was attracted by the dogs ap-
pearance. He noticed on examination
that the dog wore collar bearing the
name benjamin Pepper, Hartford.
CT" The man took the dog home and
gave him square meal and lodging,
and In the meantime communicated
with the man in Hartford whose name
was on the dogs collar. prompt
reply came. and the following story
was disclosed: During blizzard the
dog was given shelter In the home OF
Mr.. Pepper, where he had been duly
adopted. In time the creature be-
came greatly attached to his new quar-
.ers. Last summer the owner OF the
dog gave him away to man In New
Hampshire. 200 miles distant from
Hartford. One day the animal, with
a most determined air. left his new
home and started southwark. From
that day until he appeared In West
Springfield. the dog was heard OF no
more. AT last faithfulness is to be
rewarded. and the dog will doubtless
live and die In the home OF his former
owner at Har tford.

A Dogs
Friendship

A newspaper correspondent tells
this story OF wire-haired terrier
named Jack. After he had been in
the family for a few months a strang.
er was introduced in the shape OF a
fluffy little black King Charles span
iel. Jack and the new arrival-who
was called Queenie-became firm
friends. sleeping in the same basket
and eating from the same plate.
Queenie was devoted to the fire,
and would lie inside the fender and
go to sleep peacefully. wheneve'
Jack found her in this dangerous po-
sition he would look at her for a
moment and then, taking her by the
neck. would place her on the rug.
One evening he came to his master
with look of anxiety, making n pc
culiar noise, half bark, half whine.
He looked at his master for a moment
and then left the room. Returning
again he made the same noise and
started for the door. looking back at
every step. His master was busy Just
then and took no notice until for the
third time he returned, when the mas
ter rose and followed him. The dog
led the way through several passages
ar.d finally into the kitchen, walked
up to the range, and placed one paw
on the oven. The fire was out, for
the maids had gone to bed. and on
opening the door there was Queenie
at her last gasp. She had not been
burnt, but simply suffocated.
Every effort was made to revive the
dog. while Jack stood by with a look
of the most intense anxiety on his
face. But 1t was no use. and the
little body was taken into the garden
and laid upon the lawn. Jack gave
one glance at his friend. put his nose
to hers, then ran on. He was not
seen again for three days, when he
returned dirty, bedraggled and lame.
Never did he ever enter that kitchen
again. He had made a noble effort
to save his friend, and 1t was not his
fault that the density OF one mans
comprehension had prevented his sue.

Charles CarroIl's
Bravery

There Is one episode in history
which made a great Impression on me
the first time remember hearing
about it. and that lmprcssion has not
been lost or even become fainter in
tho years that have parsed since. says
contributor to St Nicholas.
It happened In July. i7T6. whom a
group OF men. the Representatives OF
the American people, were gathered
together about table, signing thclr
names to thut great work known as
the Declaration OF independence
Among the last to come forward was
a man from Maryland. ana after writ

OF chance to escape"
For moment there was silence:
then Carroll picked up the pen and
after his signature wrote the words:
"Of Carrollton only man in all
those hfty-six to tell the name Of the
town In which he lived
Other things, perhaps. of far more
importance to the world have taken
place than when Charles Carroll
wrote the name of his town after his

sclfshness and bravery Will ever be
treasured In my mind as an evidence

milk and fruit together" So want
to explain right here that cream and
milk are as far apart as the north
and south poles. There is not one
constituent alike in them. Milk builds
up your muscles. cream gives you
heat. While they come from the same
heterogeneous source, they have been
