Some people can see great deal in some animals. The Animals Defender relates the following true story:
 MT. Kellogg owns a big Newfoundland dog, which he has taught from puppy hood to love all living things as he loves them. Wild birds will perch on this dogs head as they do on the head of it's master. Once the dog found spar row with a broken wing huttering on the ground and bounced upon it, but instead of harnling it he lifted the bird gently in his mouth, and bore it un- harmed to his master, evidently desir- ing him to mend the broken wing. The bird was in hospital for some time, and every day the dog visited 1t to inquire, sympathetically, how the wing was get

ting on. When at last the bird flew away It's canine friend parked joyously and rolled on the ground with delight. More marvellous still, the sparrow re- turned several times to make friendly call on the dog.

When the volcanic eruptions in Gua- tenala last year covered the coffee fincas, it was believed that the industry was ruined and that Guatemala had re- ceived a blow from which recovery would be slow. Many planters abandon ed their ash-covered plantations and believed themselves ruined. But the activity of the volcanoes was followed by heavy and long continued rains, which washed away a great deal of the ashes and incorporated more of them in the soil. The rain also seemed to bleach the ashes and extract from them a liquid fertilizer which proved of great benefit to the coffee trees. The result is a crop nearly as large again as last years. Hereafter, when the volcanoes of Guatemala erupt and spout ashes; the only unfortunate coffee planters will be those whose fincas are outside of the showers.

tjust when they had been introduced the sound
of guns began again in another part of the ROOM
and running over it was seen thatthe big picture of
the battle of Santiago was moving like the others,
and there they saw another great fight.
They watched the Spanish battleships burst into
flame and sink or run 70 the Shore there to lie and
burn for hours, while not scratch seemed to show
upon any one of the american ships.
After he had gazed and gazed with his eyes filed

Little Irving had tired of listening to what he did
not understand and had proceeded to investigate
other pictures. Suddenly he shouted:

Arthur jumped across the room to find his small

not nearly half large rats he was more excited

have given up all hope and was taking one last lin

more.
As the lions neared her the girl pressed her white
face to the wall. quiyering, but just the nearest

One man remained alive on the high sterp-deck

"Where's the water in the reservoir

man.
''Well what is it p asked Vestalia, sweetly
Its the Reservoir of Unthought Thoughts that's

the great conceptions for pictures, poems, inven-
tlons, political schemes and musical compositions

The keeper opened some great drawers In the

there and he became mite"

against the landscape.
In an instant he not more than half as tall as
Belisarius and they all laughed to see him balanc
ing himself on the frame to keep from falling into
the river Irving had done. Then he walked alon,
to the shore and stepped into the picture, calling
out:

But we can never get up therel" cried Vestalia
"How can we climb the WALTZ"
"Oh, [ forgotw exclaimed Arthur; "I'll come
down and put you all in and then join youn
He leaped out of the picture. becoming his usual
size at once, and then he put them all on the green
grass of the pcture-shore, after which he touched
the canvas with his forehead and instantly was
tiny figure.
"Come alongl" cried Arthur, taking Vestalis's
hand. Lets explore this placei Looks like regu-
lar picnic ground Maybe there's an ice-cream-
soda fountain up yonder, and I'll bet you'll like
that !"
Sure enough, just at the end of the grove. there
was a soda-fountain, and Arthur lined them all up
before it. Sir Vaudeville was frightened at the
sight of the foaming, fixing water, stained with
some mysterious decoction but he drank it. as did
tho others, and was pleased, but the Roman girl
was simply delighted. When Arthur asked the
man who kept the stand how much he owed him,
the man replied:
Nothing at all. It's all Free
"Then will all have anotber!" promptly ex-
claimed Arthur.
Just then Irving, who had taken his glass to the
door, shouted to look at Belisarius The Roman
general had swallowed all of his ice cream in
lump and was holding his hands against his iron
breast-plate in agony and fear.
''Tm freezing within!' he groaned, bonding over
as far as his armor would permit. SIS this deathg

Arthur gave him glass of water and his pain
instantly ceased, but he fastened out of doors at
once. Hardly had he reached the foot of the steps
before he uttered a shout of alarm and ran back
Arthur looked out and saw an automobile approach
ing slowly. Sir Vaudeville cried:
"a dragon, by Saint George, a dragon Flee for
your lives"
With a hiss and a rattle the automobile stopped
In front of the soda fountain and a man sprang

NO! How can a picture move thus Z" asked the
Roman.
Arthur turned and saw that the picture was
actually moving The surf was rolling In and SEEM
ed about to tumble right out of the frame, but
marrow strip of tawny sand prevented it. The bill
lows sparkled in bright sunlight, and far out on
the sea sail was moving swiftly toward the shore.
The sound of the surf filed all the room. From
that picture their eyes passed the next one also
a sea-picture where three great old-fashoned ships
called galleons rose and fell on the green waves
tugglng at their anchors while off the horizon
appeared five others flying different flag.
Men were busily engaged upon the brightly-col-
ored sails, running out the guns, pulling the
cables and preparing TO meet the coming enemy.
Irumpets blared and drums beat on board every
ship while high on the tall stern of each could be
seen group of richly-clad men, the captains and
the mates, arranging the order of battle.
The Roman General, who instantly saw what was
coming, quivered with excitement as he followed
the boys toward the picture which filed all one side

All the lions, startled at the appearance of
tins urly-haired giant, stopped, then turned and
slowly retreated. roar of fright went ND from
the thousands in the amphitheatre seats and the
people began to rise and flee with cries of fear
In a few moments the vast amphitheatre was com
pletely empty, nothing but white canvas showing
where so many people had been seated in a solid
of blazing color 1t just as if the painter
had left the space unfinished.
The girl trembled even more than before as she
looked up into the boys face but when he told her
that he would not harm her she smiled and very
soon showed her gratitude to her rescuer Irving
was very proud boy indeed, over his feat and
wished to run home with his Pile to show to his
sister May but Arthur would not permit this until
/ returned.
So the maiden whose name was Vestalia was in
troduced to the Roman General and to Sir AIande-
vile Leigh, and they all proceeded to examine the
other pictures.
Several of them had been carefully discussed
when Arthur, looking at a beautiful landscape
which showed lovely river gliding along beneath
tall trees, said:
Looks as if there might be good fishing in that
river I'd like to try ftp

HE is only scared half to deathw added Sir
Mandeville, shaking all over.
Arthur politely explained to the owner Of the
automobile how he and his strange companions had
come into the picture, and the man asked them all
TO ride III his machine AZ first the Roman refused
10 take any such dreadful chance but when he saw
the knight take his seat he followed rather slowly
and after the owner had drank some soda water he
climbed IN and, with whiz and toot off they went
like lightning
Beisarius gripped the rail as his helmet tumbled
of, and Sir Vaudeville turned pale Vestalia smiled
sweetly, and said: "Can't it go fasterl'
Past numberiess houses, factories, whole villages
they sped, everything amazing the od-time passen-
gers, who wished to stop and examine each new
feature IN the landscape but the man never lesened
the speed until they arrived at the mouth of the
river Then suddenly the automobile turned upside
down, dumped them all without ceremony on the
white sand of the seashore, but it rghted itself IN
an instant and sped away, leaving nothing but

then Irving leaned in toward the painted river and
before anyone knew what was happening the child
seemed to become smaller and then he fell right

but Sir Vaudeville seized him, shouting:
