BRUNO BETWEEN TWO LOVES:


Our neghbor Bruno, big Newfoundland,
Toying his dinner immensely, but evidently to the dissat
isfaeton Of cross, hungry little girl who sitting
the back steps waiting impatenty to be called to her
dinner No, she did not want cracker cookie,
either She just wanted her dinner right away. She did
not why dinner could not be ready when people
ready for it. She had gone the store twice that
ing for and almost starved having eaten only
four cookies, banana and five cents worth of candy
since breakfast. 1t in this that poor,
neglected little girl scoldng away to herself, when
suddenly her eyes sparked with mischief idea had
to her. She would not let Bruno finish his dinner
till she could have hers. She loved to tease this little
miss tho she hungry So taking little switch,
she went into the next yard and drove poor Bruno
from his dinner Then she stood his dish guarding
it with her switch and every time he she
struck him. Now Bruno loved this little neighbor, with
whom he had played since she toddling infant but
he loved his dinner, too, and did not like to be kept
waiting for it better than she did One effort
to get to his dish and when he felt the switch his
back he turned and his great teeth closed the tender
little wrist of his tormentor It was indeed very sober
little girl who could be seen with her wrist done up, eat

EUROPE IN OUR MARKET,

every way apparently giving more than
1t takes, Europe's constantly increasing
population, wealth and power. form a
mystery for they are the most wonder
full and fascinating of all economic phe-
nomena
The United States has a population Of
% to the square mile In the last 100
years Europe has sent 10000 600 people
to the United States and othernew coun-
tries, and yet to-day has a population of
l03 to the square mile, or nearly twice as
many as when this emigration began. In
the meantime wages have increased,
wealth has piled up, trade has quad
rupled and the purchasing power of the
people of Europe has more than kept
pace with all these advances.
Even to estimate the annual domes-
tic exchanges of Europe is beyond the
reach Of Ineligible figures. The for
eign exchange is quantity which can
be determined with more or less accu-
racy, however, and its amounts. OOO.-
100000, annually-eonveys an idea OF the
tide Of commerce that flows through this
heart of the world.
The imports of these IS countries
amount to $S,OOO,000,00O, the exports to
$6,OOO,0 600 900, showing an excess of pur-
chases over sales amounting to $1,000
OO0,0 600. The imports from abroad. mean
ing from countries other than European,
are to supply European deficiencies, and
these are largely of food and raw mate
rails
About IS per cent. of the total exports
from the United States are of agricul-
tural products, though much of this
might be regarded as manufactured
goods because many agricultural prod
ucts are put through manufacturing
processes. Roughly speaking. the
American people sell $500, 00O, 600 worth
OF such products a year to foreign buy
ers. Nearly 80 per cent goes to Europe.
hence about four-f1fths of the American
goods sent to Europe supply food and
raw material.
American products feed the opera
tives in European mills and factories
who are making goods for all the world.
They provision the foreign ships which
carry the worlds commerce, and keen
down the cost of living in Europe by sup
plementjng the comparatively scanty
supply of homegrown foods These ag-
rlcultural products of America are now
so necessary to Europeans that they are
admitted without serious restrictions &c

STORY OF A PHYSICIAN.
Patient Who Sacrificed Her Life fol-
Love of Her Abundant
Hair.

Physicians hear strange things. A
physician said the other day:
Mrs. Smith is dead. If she had con-
sented to have her hair cut off she would
still be alive. Her heavy hair killed her.
When | told her that she must lose
her hair, she said she would rather die.
But her husband didn't want her to die,
and he made up his mind to cut off her
hair while she slept One night he car
ried to bed with him big pair Of shears
With some difficulty he hid the shears
under his pillow. Then, in the middle
OF the night, he took them out cautious
ly, and he ad ~anced them toward his
wife's long, thick braid. She lay on her
side with her back to him, but just as
he was about to snip off the braid close
to her head, she sighed uneasily, and she
turned over on her back, with the braid
safe under her.
He swOre below his breath, and wait
ed, shears in hand, for an hour. But she
never stirred
For three nights Smith too the
shears to bed with him, and each time
that ne would go Tor his sleeping WIFE
hair with them, she would move out of
the way The thing seemed almost SUI
pernatural. The woman, asleep, pro-
tected her hair from the shears quite az
well as she could have protected it If she
had been awake
"The morning after the third night
Smith forgot about the shears when he
got up He left them under his pillow
and went off to work. Naturally, Mrs.
Smith found them.
You took those shears to bed with
you TO cut off my hair with she said to
him on his return. If you had done it,
I'd never have spoken to you again
Smith gave up after that, and his
poor wife kept her hair, but not her life."

Retaliation at a Dance.

She was young. 1t was her first sea-
son, and it pleased her to snub her cub
cousin most numerically whenever he
asked her for dance.
NO" she protested, one evening, you
can't see my programme-it's all full. "
"But there'll be extras. Can't I have
an extra?"
"Ye-es," returned the young wom-
an, grudgingly, relinquishing her card,
"but don't take the first one, it's prom
ised."
Later in the evening, when she looked
to. see which dance her cousin had ap-
propriated she found that she had food
for reflection. The young man had put
his name down for the four hundred
ninety-ninth extra.-Sunday.
