How Polly Tanned the Fierce Dog That
Rushed at Her.
Mamma, | don't want to 20 to

"There is a great big dog that runs
out and banks at me every day"
Mamma thought minute. She
was sorry for her little girl, but she
wanted Polly to be brave little
woman who never gave up what she
had undertaken.
"See here, Polly" she said at last,

lay it in your dinner pail. When
Jowler .rushes out you can give it to
him, and then he will be sure to
stop barking"
Polly thanked mamma and start
ed off with rather an anxious little
face.
She walked more and more slowly
along the pleasant country road till
she reached the white house by the
poplars, where Jowler lived.
As soon as he saw her he jumped
down from the doorstep where he
was summing himself and ran out
with terrible uproar. Polly thought
he looked bigger and crosser than
ever before.
With 4 trembling hand she drew
out the meat and threw it toward
him. Sure enough, he was quiet at
once, smelled ii, tasted it and then
actually thumped his stumpy yellow
tail against the ground, which, you
know, is dogs way of saying,
"Thank youw Youths Compan-

1.-The promptness with which the
state board OF health has acted in
notifying all local boards to see that
the laws regarding fire escapes, etc.,
ON public buildings are strictly COM
Piled with is to be commended,"
says the Middlehury Register. But
we understand that the local health
officers are not obliged to make any
report. which fact makes the noti-
iications by the state board so much
waste paper in most cases. The
town authorities will have to take
hold if anything is done. The mat
ter of fire escapes should be made
part Of the business OF the March
meetings.

who asked once when pop II be

sun came out again in all its fierce
ness. The children began their play
and the old people their talk. When
all were busy Mandy took the old
rifle down from the rack over the
door. She shouldered the weapon
with the strength and sleight of a
strong man and started oil down
the road. She seemed in a hurry,
for she took long strides like man.
Her body swayed in tune 10 Eer

She looked neither to the lief, nor
to the right. Finally she reached
a lane where the hazel bushes skirt

seem satisfied, for she continued her
walking She stopped again short
ly and looked through the bushes.
In the field. about twenty PAGES dis

through the bushes just as the SOL

off his hat and wiped the perspira-
ton from his face with his shirt
sleeve. She glanced along the bar
rel of the gun. There was a sharp
report, and the man fell over in a
furrow The blood flowed from a
hole in his temple.
Then Mandy replaced the gun on
her shoulder. She walked off down
the road without word. When
she arrived at her home she put the
rifle in its resting place and went
about her duties.

William Jennings Bryan is still
quite IL picturesque figure in the
landscape, il he doesn't make for
harmony. AS d candidate for presi-
dent he is of no more account than
= birds nest OF 1903, but still the
Nebraska editor seems to have n fol-
lowing of sufficient strength to make
his dictatorship tangible thing if it
isn't as absolute as it was in recent
campaigns. He likes the work and
must run his course. Ex-President
Cleveland says: "Br,an has the
stage; let him go it." There is no
honesty in the pretensions of man
who has twice led his party to de-
feat and still assumes its leadership
as if his guiding hand and voice
especially his voice-were necessary
to its salvation.

The fact that Mr.. Clement has

increase in the exports of Russian

ton of the peasants in their efforts 10
pay what NJ de White called the last
possible limit" of taxation.
Chapter and verse can be produced
in support of these statements, which
prove the thoroughly unsatisfactory
condition of the Russian people. The
Council of State, already mentioned,
warned all Ministers and heads of de-
partments to take the most ener-
getic measures to prevent further in
crease of expenditures" Yet this is
the country, the government, the peo-
PIE embarking on a long, dubious and
costly war! Surely it may well be
asked if an empire which has such a
desperate economic condition behind it
is in a position to carry on this great
war in the Far East? Can she stand
the strain-the protracted, persistent,
pitiless drain upon her ever-diminish-
ing resources?
All the same, it must be forgotten
that competent observers thought that
Russia would go to pieces twenty years
ago, and that war sometimes results in
consolidation and prosperity instead of
Generalization and ruin.

EXPERIENCES IN TIPPING.

Two energetic, Woodworking little
business women had finished their
meagre luncheon at a restaurant. They
were figuring out the amount of their
checks, and decided that they owed 20
and 25 cents, respectively.
Are you going to give a tip?" the
little one asked.
I'm tempted not to-" returned the
other THE nerve and impudence of
these horrid men walters are becoming
unbearable.'
Il shall never, never tip again." said
the little one, firmly. Yesterday I was
not hungry and my check came to 20
cents. put down an extra nickel. At
first Mister Waiter seemed not to no.

table he said, most impudently:s Do
you want this carfare bit; I don't 1

it back, but 1 did,

woman. Il asked the waiter to bring
me small change for a dollar bill. He
brought me four quarters.
Is that small enough for you" he
sneered.
Yes, it's small enough for me- I
snapped back. but it isn't small enough
for you to get a tip, and 1 sailed out"

II there were better carrying facilities

would be nothing to prevent her from

The trade of Hawaii IS no small
