The Rainy Day.

A well known artist recently received
a letter from a chap who has regularly
made it a practice to borrow money
of him. In this letter the chap who is
always in financial difficulties surpris-
ed his correspondent by saying:
'"This time have decided to reverse
the usual order of things, and, instead
Of borrowing from you, 1 inclose here
with $50, which am going to ask that
you will lay aside for me for a rainy
day"
But the artist couldn't find any re-
mittance in the letter He searched for
1t on the floor, under the table-in fact,
everywhere he thought he might have
dropped it. Then quite accidentally he
turned over the sheet on which the let
ter was written and discovered this
postscript:

and find it's raining like the very

A Story Of aueen victor.u.

Queen Victoria was very fond of chill
dren, and one day she invited three lit
tie girls to pay her a visit. The mother
Of one of the children went, too, to take
charge of the party. During the visa
the queen asked one of the little girls
where she lived. Near Whiteley's,"
answered the child, and the mother
was not exactly pleased because she
would have liked the queen to think
they lived somewhere else. After say
ing near Whiteley's" the child looked
up shyly at the queen and asked,
'Where do you live?" "Oh, live near
Gorringe's," said the queen, with her
charmingly kind smile, and the little
girl had no idea that the queens house
near Gorringe's" was known to all the
world as buckingham palace or that it
was bit grander and bigger than her
little home near the shop she mention

WHY TRAVEL ABROADf
An American Should Give His First
Study to His Home Land.


Study to His Home Land.
When Payne wrote ''There's No Place
Like Home," he gave poetic expression
to the love he bore toward the ingle
nook more precious than temples or
palaces" What flowers of rhetoric
could approach in power of assertion
these FIVE little monosyllabic words,
There's No Place Like Home"-tO
gainsay which were impossible!
1t is the great privilege of Americans
to be able without hyperbole to apply
them to travel, for what is there In any
part of the habitable globe more
fraught with interest, instruction, edu-
cation, refreshment of mind and body
and uplifting of soul than nature has
provided, with hand so lavish, for the
delectation of those having the good
fortune 20 dwell in this goodly land?
Would he see a Riviera? We have
several on the shores of the azure wa
ters both of the gulf and the Pacific,
far distancing that laved by the Med
iterranean.
Does he pine for snow capped noun
tains? Let him repair to the plains
whence Pixies Peak, Mount Logan and
our other great elevations rear their
hoary SUBMITS into clOudland.
Would he witness a majestic cata-
ract? There is but one without a rival,
the imperial Niagara-in the chain of
our great lakes. most turbulent OF
links.
Neither Nile, Niger nor Ganges, great
rivers though they are, are comparable
to our own Mississippi, we'll named
1.-The Father of Waters" Our peerless
Hudson excels in picturesque effects
the vaunted Rhine.
What of the beauties of the Golden
Gate, ON whose shores sits enthroned
queenly San Francisco, pronounced
peerless among cities by q much trav-
eled European prince of imperial
blood?
Where is there, even in miniature,
anything to vie with that earthly para
disc, the valley of the Yosemite; what
to compare with the deep and rugged
gorge through which passes to the sea
the impetuOus Colorado river?
The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, one
of the worlds wonders, Is as yet but
partially explored.
Why, then, travel abroad, while al
these and vastly more than can be
enumerated remain unseen at home?
Are not ALBANIA and Pharpar, rivers
of Damascus. better than all the waters
of Israeli" said|Naaman the Syrian Of
old when ordered by the prophet tC

ing. Who can help admiring his pride
of country and robust patriotism
Most worthy are they of emulation.

is no grander travel field than that we

The PhlIadeIphia Record.

A Philadelphia merchant who spends
hundreds of thousands of dollars every
year for advertising was asked the
other day what newspaper he consid-
cred the best medium through which
to reach the public. His answer was
unhesitatingly "The Philadelphia
Record"
Then he went on to say: 81 have used
"The Record" for years in fact, ever
since have been advertising, and 1
find it brings me the best results. 1t
isn't necessary to experiment with
The Record The experienced busi-
ness man realizes the money he spends
to reach the readers of that paper is
money we'll invested. The Record is
read thoroughly. A great many peo-
pie, men especially, buy several news
papers during the course of a day.
They glance over the paper casually to
see if there is anything of particular
interest. and then throw them aside.
But 1 have come to the conclusion
from long observance that ''The Rec
ord" is the paper that is read thor
oughly from beginning to end
The Philadelphia merchant is un-
doucbedly right. There is no disput-
ing the fact that "The Record" is the
most popular paper in Philadelphia,
and its influence throughout the sur
rounding country is evidenced by its
claim to the largest circulation of any
newspaper published in the State of
Pennsylvania, claim that is without
doubt based upon actual figures. Nor
is this strange, considering its merits.
1t is in every sense of the word fam
lily paper-clean, wholesome, bright
and entertaining, welcome visitor to
the home circle.
The growth of "The Record" is q
gratifying tribute to the integrity Of
its methods. 1t is always fair and
above board; it has nothing to conceal,
and it is in every respect a model
newspaper. More power to it!-adv.

A story of Sir Robert Ball.

Sir Robert Ball, the noted British as
tronomer, on one occasion went to q
remote town in Ireland to lecture on
his favorite topic. Arriving at the sta
tion, he looked for the expected convey
ance, but found none. After all the
other passengers had disappeared a
man stepped up and said, Maybe
you're Sir Robert Ball?" On receiving
an affirmative reply the man hastily
apologized, saying, ''Sure, your honor,
I'm sorry kept you waiting, but 1 was
tould to look for an intellectual gintle-
man." Sir Robert thought that under
the circumstances it would be better
not to inquire what was the mans idea
Of intellectually.

He Was Very Much Alive.

When visiting one of the primary
schools some years ago the day before
Memorial day, or Decoration day, as it

BOATING ON THE NILE.
The Best Pilots Run Aground Two OIL

Three Times a Day.
Navigation on the Nile is not so COM
plicated a matter as upon the north
Atlantic, writes AlonzO Clarke Robin
son in Outing. To run at full speed
upon a sand bar is an occurrence OF
such frequency as hardly to elicit
comment from the passengers. The
crew take more interest because they
are obliged to push the boat off again
with poles, and this entails a great
amount of shouting and some work.
The Nile below the first cataract is
fairly broad, muddy river, flowing be-
tween depOsed banks varying from
Xix to eight to twenty to thirty feet in
height. Its surface is interrupted ev-
erywhere by sand spits and islands
upon which are to be seen thousands
of birds. The channel, if such it can
be called, winds from one side to the
other and changes completely with ev-
cry flood; hence even the best pilots
run aground two or three times a day.
1t is, of course, impossible to proceed
at night, and each days voyage comes
to an end wherever darkness happens
to overtake one. The boats nose is
simply run plump ON the bank, two
men leap out and drive stakes to which
to make fast, and there you are for the
night A very simple and effective
method, without any OstentatiOn and
requiring very little knowledge of
mathematics; it has also the advantage
Of variety. Sometimes one finds one
self alone beneath the wonderful
Egyptian moon lighting up the river,
the distant cliffs and the silent, empty
plain, or perhaps one stops near some
little native village, in which case the
bank is lined with silent, curious fig
ures, who crouch for hours wrapped in
their white cloth coverings. Once we
tied up beside lonely brick kiln. The
sight was weird one. The red fare
of the furnace, fed with sugar cane,
cast intermittent flashes of light into
the night, in and out Of which moved
black half naked natives, while over
head was the clOudless, star lit sky Of
Egypt.

For those who may have gotten the
impression that the Times approves of
the inhuman and reckless method of
disposing of the dogs found r1nning at
large without a muzzle, we wish to
state that the Times has always been
opposed to and has on more than one
occasion devoted its columns to advo-
eating better system. Some years
ago there was much agitation of the
subject and at that time we favored the
impounding method, so as to give the
owner a chance to reclaim his dog and
then, if it is not reclaimed within a
specified time, to chloroform it. The
present method has been in vogue for
a number of years and we deprecate it
as much now as in the beginning. Gould
not some method be devised that
would yield a revenue to the town and
then apply this revenue to Public

Old Time Railway Travel.

Third class passenger coaches in
England used to be coupled on next to
the engine. The travellers came in for
terrible treatment when any accident
occurred. At times the engine was
driven tender first, in which case
frozen hands could be warmed at its
smokestack The passengers were
packed, seventy Of them, into a truck
eighteen feet in length by seven and
a half In width. There was no roof
and not, as rule, proper protection
at the sides.
