 Nobody in Constantinople ever hur- fleS, or goes off walk so when the peo- pie saw an old man, with a fez on his head, running amuck, as they say here followed by beautiful boy. they began to crawl into their holes, thinking dad was crazy. but when we were passing sausage store. where about 20 dogs were asleep in the street, and dad kicked half a dozen dogs and yelled "get out. you hounds" that settled it. and they knew he was wrong in the head, and they yelled for the police. and We were pulled for fast driving. and taken before Turkish justice of the peace, followed by the whole crowd.
 The justice did not wear a fez, but had on turban, so dad did not give him any signs, but after jabbering a while they sent for an interpreter, who could talk pigeon English. and then dad had trial, and acted as his lawyer. told about how dad had tried to be kind and genial tO anorher mans u,ifo apd bou. in his hurry to get away from the mur. derous husband he fell over a mess of dogs, and that he was a distinguished American, who was in Turkey to nego- tiate loan to the sultan.
 Say, that fixed them, and they all made salamS to dad, and bowed all over themselves and the justice of the peace prayed to Allah, and the interpreter said we could go. but to be careful about touching Turkish woman or dog, par ticularly dog. as the Turks were very sensitive on the dog question. So we went out of the courtroom. and wan dered around the town. and you can bet that dad didn't look at any more wom- en- though they were everywhere with f, but their eyes could be seen.
 Gee, but you never saw such eyes as these Turkish women have. They are big and black, and they go right through you, and clinch on the other side Dad says the facilities for getting into trou- ble are better in Constantinople than any place we have been, as the men look like bandits and the women look like ex- ecutioners. Dad thanked me for help ing him out of that scrape by claiming he was the agent of financial syndicate that wanted to lend money to the sultan. If had said dad was collecting agency, to make the sultan pay up, they would have sentenced him to be boiled in oil.
 Well, we thought we had been in trou- ble before, but We are in it now worse than ever We heard at the hotel that at Il o'clock in the morning the sultan

THE HIRING" OF LISKUM.
6elng an Illustrative Instance of the Virtue of Submissive
 ness

Liskum was the "butt" of the ",o- car room of the daily on which he worked, says the Brooklyn Eagle. He was dried-up wrinkled little chap who might have been either 20 or 60 years of age. Whatever went wrong about the office was laid to Liskum. and whatever was attributed to him he accepted without a murmur. only smil- ing crinkly little smile that won the hearts of the whole staff For. joke him as they might, every re- porter on the paper had a tender spot for Liskum
 One day Tompkins. the "star" re- porter, came in to find the group about the big stove in the local room indsg- nantly discussing something.
 "Liskum has been fred" some one told him. There was a great fuss about the Third ward story in this mornings paper"
 Why, l wrote that myself" said Tompkins. "Liskum had nothing to do with it." And with that he start ed for the managing editors room.
 -A' ANoNhhhoh odI ny HIS Hdt-lOppeQ desk; Liskum stood opposite him. Tompkins slowed down in an apolo- getic way, for he remembered that he had violated precedent by entering the editors room without knocking.
 Come in, Tompkins, said MT. RockmaA. You are just the man I want to see"
 Liskum turned his crinkly smile on TompiSins, but spoke not a word.
 ''I have just dismissed MT. Liskum for that Third ward story" said the editor.
 'I heard SO" replied Tompkins, "bu, I wrote that story myself. He had nothing to do with it."
 Il know that" said the editor. That is why I dismissed him. A for midable delegation of Third ward peo- pie came here this morning, and made it very plain to me that something must be done to soothe them. I knew you were such fiery chap it would never do to let you face them, so brought Liskum in and indignantly dismissed him from the reportorial staff am just now engaging him as assistant city editor"
 Liskum turned another crinkly smile on Tompkins, and the star reporter went back to the big stove in the city room

Successful Lion-Breeding in Dublin.

Successful Lion-Breeding in Dublin.
 Few, if any, menageries in the world can show more remarkable record of lion-rearing than that of the Dublin zoo. From the old lion-house, which was recently replaced by a magnifi- cent building to which Lord Roberts has given his name, lions bred within it's walls have been consigned to al- most every quarter of the globe. Up- wards of 200 cubs saw the light in the old lion-house, and a sum of near ly G5,000 resulted from their sale to other menageries, both at home and abroad. One lioness, whose career in the gardens extended over a period of 16 years, gave birth in her time to no fewer than 55 cubs, which realized the sum of 91,400.
