JUST A DOG STORY

A dog story comes from London
which is not too good to be true, {"
but too true TO be good-too some
ways of thinking.
A little King Charles spaniel on
the street came to slushy spot on
the sidewalk, too filthy for one SO
dainty to wade and too wide to be
jumped over. The dog sat trying
to solve the problem when a lady
with a fasbionabIy long dress
sweput up The spaniel instantly
saw his opportunity. sprang on the
train and was ferried across dry.
foot.
This is good enough dog story
but not pleasing lady story.
I makes a delightful showing
for the cleanliness of d gs
Here is dog worthy to he upon
any parlor carpet.
But how about the lady with
the ferry boet skirtP
On how many acqueintences'
carpets did see drag her skirt that
afternoon? How many disease
germs were dragged out of itP
How many, dried out of it later at
her own home?
But this is dog story, not a
lady, story.

Found the Wan Easier.

A Michigan man willed $4,000
to each of his three sweethearts.
With this sum the trio will be able
to array themselves in woefuI and
becoming black, end later encour-
aged to emerge, stylish and with
hope renewed, from their span of
grief.
Perhaps the man had founds the
easier way. He cared for all the
women equally. Willing would
he have married any one of them,
but he knew the other two would
file among the wedding gifts pa
pers IN suits for breach of promise.
So with masterful tact he kept
good graces all around No foolish
letter of his was ever read in court.
His affairs were not even discuss
ed until he was dead and didn't
care.
1n the light afforded by the av-
erage breach of promise action, the
Michigan man will be adjudged
wise. The peace he purchased
by the outlay Of $4,000. for which
he had no use, was cheap at the
price.

Why Not own a Homes

A Boston expert has been max
ing exhaustive researches into the
home life of hundreds of families
in all parts of the country. He
wanted to know how the average
family spent their income. He
found folks who ate themselves in
to poverty; others who starved in
order to dress; people who wasted
hard-earned dollars, and, one fact
that seems bigger than all the rest.
According to his figures the aver
age family of moderate means pays
from 20 to 25 per cent of their
gross income to the landlord In
other words, the breadwinner works
nearly or quite one.fourth of his
time for the privilege of roof TO
cover his head.
1t is.a wonder that more young
married men do not buy homes.
They can do it if they will. 1t
only takes a little pluck, a
little daring and some self denial.
Modern methods of easy payments
have actually made it possible to
pay for a home as you now pay
rent. A home is an anchor. A
rented apartment can never be any
thing more than temporary place
of abode. The question of moving
comes up often
The man who owns home wants
to improve it. He has flowers and
vines and a well-kept lawn. The
sense of possession and ownership
makes his chest stick out a bit He
is an actual part of the city in which
which he lives, and he and his wife
and children are all interested in
making it the city beautiful.

Is there no secret place the face of the earth
Where charity dweeth, where virtue has birth2
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness viii heave,
When the poor and the wretched shall ask and receive?
Is there no place at all where knock from the poor
Will bring kind angel to open the door
Go. look in Won hall where the candeiier's light
Drives off with its splendor the darkness of night
Where the rich-hanging velvet in shadowy fold
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimmings of gold,
And the mirrors of silver take up, and renew
In long lighted vistas, the 'wildering view;
Go there at the banquet and find, if you can,
a welcoming smile for the Moneyless Mani
eie, lSok IN yon church the loud-reaching spire
Which gives the his look of red fire,
Where the arches and columns gorgeous within,
And the walls seem as pure soul without sin
Walk down long isles, see the rich and the great
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate;
Walk down in your patches and find. if you can,
Who opens the pew to the Moneyess Man
Go look in the banks where Mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and gold ;
Where safe from the hands of the starving and poor
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering
Walk up to their counters-ah, there you may stay,
Till your limbs grow DID, till your hairs turn gray,
And YOU find at the banks of the clan
With money to lend to the Moneyless Man.
Go, look to yon Judge, in his dark-fowng gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth equity down,
Where he frowns the weak and smiles the strong
And Furnishes right and ustifes wrong;
Where the iuries their de to the Bible have laid,
To render a verdict-theyve already made
Go, there in the court room, and find if you can,
Any law for the cause of the Moneyless Man?
Then go to your hovel-no raven has fed
The wife who has suffered too long for her breads
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death-frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty lost:
Then turn in your agony upward to God
And bless, while smites you, the chastening rod,
And you'll fnd at the end of your lifes little span

An Encouraging Outlook.

Now and then we come upon q
newspaper bold enough to speak
about the republican outlook. OF
course the Republican party has
an outlook, such as it is, but il is
not one 10 which a considerate
party organ should invite attention
New York Republicans are in a
hopeless tangle and many of the
most conservative politicians in
that State believe that it ill go to
the Democrats. In Ohio bitter
war is raging between the Foraker
faction and the old Hanna faction,
now represented by Senator Dick
and Governor Herrick Whether
purposely or not Roosevelt has
got mixed up in it. In Iowa a
fierce struggle is going on between
the progressive Republicans. head.
ed by Governor Cummins, and the
Neutrality-suspicious." guided
by Blythe. Hull and other tariff
.mossbacks.
When we come to Illinois we
find furious campaign in pro-
gress for the nomination for Gov
ernor. Governor Yates is being
opposed for denomination by
Roosevelt, who openly declares he
fears defeat in that State if Yates
is not beaten in convention and
the Iatter's friends threaten ven-
gesnoe if he is. The Northwest
ern State are smarting and restless
under conditions from which they
have been trying to get relief for
years. Farmers aud stockraisers
find themselves more than ever at
the mercy of the meat trusts. trans
portation combinations and grain
gamblers Everywhere. under "the
wise and beneficient" rule of pro.
tected special interests. the cost of
living is increasing and wages and
salaries are being reduced. Besides,
there is no community where con-
siderable numbers of men are en-
ployed that does not show a large
reduction in the number of en-
ployes.
The Republican policy of arti-
fetal stimulation is leading newt
ably to disastrous reaction. And
yet the next national convention
of that party will, under the whip
and spur of the men who will dom
ipate it and reap the benefits of
its legislation, reassert devotion to
all the vicious and panic. breeding
doctrines heretofore proclaimed.
But after all is said-and We have
not attempted to say it all by a
good deal-the Republican party
has an outlook which is immense
ly encouraging to Democrats.

A Japanese widow was the
mother of one son upon whom she
depended for support. She wanted
her boy to become a soldier, but
under the military rules he could
not be accepted because she was
dependent upon him. But neither
rules nor laws could thwart her
patriotism. She killed herself that
her beloved might give his services
and perhaps his life to his country.

spirit are not easily conquered.
