Dog Suffers for a Defunct Man and
Man Gets It for Dead
Mule.

The man who had come down the steps
of the city hall had found a small dog
under his feet, and given the animal a
kick, relates the Washington Star. The
owner came forward and demanded:
"Sir, why did you kick my dog?"
Because | believe In transmigration,"
replied the other.
''What has that to do with it,"
Two years ago | knew a mean man.
He died. Your dog looks SO much tiko

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 2nd Especial. J.
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter Of
|. n. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was
great sufferer for five or six years, and
nothing seemed to do her any good till
she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She be
She is cured and can run and play as
other children do. Mr.. Whipkey says:
81 am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
rheumatism is one of the results OF
diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused
by Uric Acid in the blood. If the KID.
neys are right there can be no Uric Acid
in the blood and consequently no Rheu'
matsm. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the
kidneys right.

well-nigh exhausted and remained on
the surface but a moment. Tonti
called encouragingly, but they did not
hear him, and sank again. AS he
reached the spot where they had dis
appeared, the head of the Mohegan
arose from the depths, but he was
alone. BreathIess and half drowned
he was, and Tonti had to support him
to enable him to regain his strength.
He soon learned that the nun had
maintained her grip on the Indians
neck until they had sunk the second
time and had only released her hold
when they touched the bottom. Tonti
then dived, but to no purpose, and yet
a second time; she was not to be
found.
Feeling his own strength beginning
to fail, and knowing that the strong
undercurrents had probably swept her
body from that locality, he turned his
attention to POmpCn, who was max
ing vigorous signals of distress, leaving
the Mohegan behind to swim about and
watch for the nuns temperance. He
reached POmpon, who had been occu-
pied in slipping from the rock and
clambering up again, just in time, and
with him in tow turned toward the
shore. The Indian soon relieved him
of this weight, for he was fast reaching
a condition when he would need help
himself. AS it was, had the shore
been dozen yards farther off he could
not have reached it. He managed,
however, to touch bottom and crawl
out, throwing himself upon the sand.

IN WHICH SOME DISCOVERIES ARE

The advance of the party was not
rapid, because of the inability of the
captives to make long marches. The
leader was evidently a subordinate
chief who feared to ill-treat his white
prisoners lest the responsibility of hav-
ing provoked hostilities with the
French should be laid at his door. At
night a special shelter was provided
for Renee, while Tonti and the Mohe-
gan were permitted to rest on the
ground near by. Four of the number
were detailed to procure food which
they did in great abundance. An offer
was even made to provide sort of
bark litter for Renee, swung from the
shoulders of two of the braves. She
separated her from Tonti, whom she
silently appealed to more and more
for protection. He noticed her
changed demeanor, but attributed II
to the fact that he was La Sales friend
and the only white man present. Aft
er the little camp was still at night
he heard the call of distant schreech-
owl that he recognized as the signal of

Jones' bar has declared that he
was carried thither by a strong
current setting toward the beach
and by a compass which had one
or two points Of undetermined
error. These two, the current and
the treacherOus compass, are old
familiar friends of stranded skip
pers. For many years that dead
" current which drives vessels
toward the south beach of Long
Island has been famed in nautical
song and story. Curiously enough,
there are shippers and shippers
who forget all about it till they
hear the keels grating in the sand,
and then they remember that ey-
cry one knows that perfdiOus
stream which sets men toward
Shinnecock or Fire Island.
And there is the fallible com
pass, too. Every navigator knows
that the compass is subject to the
seductiOns of neighboring steel
and iron and that only in a few
places on the earth does it point
to a geographical north anyhow.
But somehow there are still cap
tains who do not recall these
facts till they have gone aground.
Then these captains are swift to
confess that their cOmpasses were
not telling them the truth, which
is the same thing as admitting
that they did not know where they
were steering. But current or no

SYMPATHY OF ANIMALS.
Noted Naturalist Thinks That Such
a Thing Is Beyond the
Lower Order.

An Iowa correspondent asks me
to give my opinion as to whether
or not any of the dumb animals
have sympathy, and added that a
minister at a funeral in their
town had said that no animal ex-
cept man was capable of sympa-
thy. l agree with the minister,
writes John Burroughs, in Outing.
Sympathy, I think, is beyond the
lower animals. When we sympa.
thize with a person we put our
selves in his or her place; we feel
sorry for him; we pity him; we
would gladly alleviate his suffer
ing-all of which implies more or
less imagination and uninterested
regard. susceptibility to the suf-
ferings of others is one of many
higher attributes. When sym
patty was born the race lifted
above the purely animal plane
The next step is taking the suffer
ings of others upon yourself
which is the highest form of altru
ism. Pure selfshness rules the
lower animals, and necessarily so
Sympathy is not necessary for tht
continuance Of the species, but at
lection for their young is. AnimalI
certainly have a feeling of com
radeship for each other, and ex
perience something like grief a

horse or a cow will sniff at tn
body of its dead fellow with appal

they are alarmed for their ow

sick or wounded member is Ofte

periences the emotion we call syr
pathy it is, of course, the dog. TT

his nature a trace of the pure
human.
