room above Dora's child-spirit
passes on it's long journey, is in
expressibly pathetic.
Diogenes, too, the rough, IN
couth dog with the inconsistent
tall given by the kind-hearted
Toots to Florence Dombey, is re-
deemed from low comedy, as sug-
gested by his outward form, by
his connection with the gentle
memory of little Paul, and by the
promptness with which his dog
gish misanthropy succumbs to the
quiet sweetness of ''Floy."
In real life, but related to litera-
ture, is Mrs. Browning's dog,
Flush, to whose devotion the poet
ess paid ample tribute. Then
there is the lap dog of Mary
Queen of SCOTS which was with
her on the scaffold, and which.
when the head fell, moaned aud
cried. The pitiful outcry of the
little dog is scarcely less touching
than the forced self-restraint Of
the two maids whose attendance
had been permitted only because
Mary had promised for them that
they would make no outcry. And
the fact that the poor creature.
after having been carried from the
scaffold, had to be cleansed from
the stains of the blood of his dead
mistress, adds touch of gruesou,e-
ness to the picture.
Tennyson has fine descriptive
touch in "The Princess" when he
speaks of Ida seated on her throne
with 1.-TWO tame leopards couched
beside her, and in another place,
"The two great cats beside her
like supporters on a shield" One
feels instinctively that nothing
less magnifcently graceful than a
leopard would have been worthy
of lda's regal beauty, just as-eo
go back to very different heroine
|-Spencer's Una deprived of her
attendant lion would lose much of
her impressiveness. In the same
way one always pictures the most
charming of SCOTS heroines,
beautiful Di Vernon, mounted ON
her jet black horse Phoebe. But aft
er all, a horse generally goes with a
man. From the days, of Dick
Turpin, the most daring of heroes
need ask for no more gallant COM
panion than his faithful steed. In
deed, sometimes, as in Ouida's
Under Two Flags" the sympathy
of the reader is far more with the
animal than with his master.
There is something innately
noble about a fine horse, some
thing that seems to ally itself
naturally with the pomp and glory
of outward circumstances. In
Richard II. all the CALLING humili-
alton heaped upon the luckIess
king finds it's climax iu the groom's,
"When Bollingbroke rode on roam
Barbay," and in the passionate
protest of the fallen monarch
against the seeming desertion of
his dumb servant.
At least one modern author has
drawn a delightful portrait of q
cat. the esteemed friend of an al
chemist. Generally. however, the
cats of literature are relocated to
the society of a succession of more
or less agreeable spinsters Not
that Puss's individuality is in any
way akin to that of the spinister,
but that the spinister seems in
complete without Puss. Malevo-
lent writer's have carried their
brutal designs so far as to make
the hero sit down on the cat-an
expedient that is an unnecessary
insult to feline intelligence; for
surely no cat with anv diruSfv

Plan Another Merger.

ST. Paul, Mimi. April 12.-President
James J. Hin declares in an interview
that behind the Hartman petition is
scheme to partition the merger lines
between the -. Paul. Union Pacific
and Mort hWeStern systems. throwing
the entire western railway situation
into the hands of a new combine i'm
which Vanderbilt. Hartman. Rookie
fc.ler. Stillman. and other interests
figure.
Mr.. Hin believes that the Hartman
petition is the first blow i'm Il fight to
mass the railway mileage of the
northwest in the hands Of this com
bine and establish new combination
Of routes under common control be
tween Chicago and the head IF the
lakes and between Chicago and Port
land.
"Underlying the Hartman petition
filed in the United States circuit
court" said Mr.. Hill. lis a sharply de
fined plan to bottle up the Great
Northern, force Il sale. and divide the
northern ranscontinental lines be
tween new interests. the Union "a
cific taking the Burlington. the st.
Paul taking the Northern Pacific. and
the Northwestern taking the Great
Northern.
1t is not the Northern Pacific alone
that is concerned. The control Of
that line is part Of a plan under which
the purpose Is 10 shut the Great
Northern off on the south and north,
leaving it in a position such that it
viii sell out.
Il have no doubt but that now |
could command almost any price for
the Great Northern. up to $50 per
hapS.
The scheme of division * simply
this. that the Union Pacific wants the
Burlington. and the 81. Paul is aiming
10 take over the Northern Pacific. The
Northwestern. If the petition succeeds,
will take lis chance of getting the
rGreat Northern. If the Hartman
suits win | have already said the Great
Northern will sell out We will retire
from the struggle and leave the north
west TO fight its own battles"

ron THE HOUSEWIFE
The RuIe q ..wa.,. No,.e

The little foxes spoil the vines. the
little leaks wreck the ship, and the lit
tie losses in the Kitchen help to create
a deficit at the end Of the year.
When thriftlessness is not due to ig-
norance, It is plain. unadulterated NOR
al weakness, and any woman ought to
be ashamed OF herself who is guilty Of
the offense of letting things go 90
waste in her kitchen. as much so as II
she were caught In the commission OF
the most dagrant' sin.
II the thriftlessness Is due to igno-
rance. then the best thing the house
wife can do is TO go to school where
she can learn the A B C's Of domestic
economy. Many women buy econom-
Ically, but waste what they have by
lack q care.
For instance, often when the white
OF an egg ls used the yoik is left to
harden and is finally thrown out. BY
pouring a little water over the top OF it
the yolk may be kept soft.
If hardened It may be brought back
to usable condition by adding to It a
little milk The white Of an egg may
be kept without any difficulty provid-
ed It is kept covered.
In most families bread is a great
source of waste II spread with butter

Run the dry bread through the chop

crumbs are so necessary. Right here
IT may be said that in these twentieth
century days no kitchen should be
without chopper. The uses to which
II can be put are innumerable.

wood planks are to be had at house

the head and tail and season with salt
on both sides. Fasten the shad to the
