Joseph n. Rogers in the March Booklovers

Beneath all the flashes Of his wit,

she depths Of emotion there is "a Henry

Wherein lies the secret of the hold
he has upon the American peopleY
Surely not merely in bis intellectual
qualities, brilliant as they are, and not
alone 10 his unconquersble, ebullient
good-humor; not even in that courage
which has led him to fight on the un
popular side OF questions, even 10 bis

WAtterson not only knows but loves
his fellowmen and all mankind. he
is no pessimist; be utters no raven
croak. HIS trust In humanity is deep
and wide. and bis faith in his country
is a0sUiute. After the cnaf is sli.vd
out, the froth blown away, the railing
forgotten, there will ever be found in
his writings a substrstum Of substan.
tial good. His professional attitude
toward life is we'll understood, and en-.
ioyed even when uttered IN a minor key.

SQUIRREL is FAsTIDIoUs.
Pampsred Little Rodent Refuses
Food If II Is Not the
Very Best

Whether or not it will presently
be necessary to put steam heat in
to the squirrel houses in the trees
of Central park, New York, is an
interesting question. These pOpu-
lar little animals are now 80 thor
Oughly pampered by the public
that they have abandoned their
old self-dependent habits. They
no longer sleep great part Ofthe
winter away, as is natural to them
in this latitude. AS their usual
partial dependence upon a state Of
semitorpOr to protect them from
the effects of the cold is broken up,
it may be that they suffer a great
deal from the temperature of win
ter, says the New York Mail.
To determine whether all the
public pampering of the park
squirrels is good for them, or
whether they are being cut off in
their prime by a not sufficiently
simple life, the park authorities
take a census of the little animals
and keep track Of them. The SPUR
rels are certainly getting peanuts
by the bushel. Some of them have
grown so critical that they refuse
to accept single nuts, and insist
upon having access to the bag in
order that they may make their
choice. Others scorn peanuts al
together, and search the pockets
for candy and other dainties.
They have grown tame even be-
yond squirrel precedent. Expert
ence has made some of them shy Of
children, and especially of boys of
about the age of II, but elderly
gentlemen of benevolent appear
ance have been seen decorated
with as many as five squirrels at
once. 1t will certainly be surpris-
ing if the squirrel census should in
dicate that present conditions are
unfavorable to them, for they
swarm in apparently increasing
numbers, and are all plump and
lustrous.
There is an impression that
squirrels are hurtful to tree vege-
tation and destructive to birds. In
their wild state they certainly are,
for they nip off buds in winter and
rayage birds nests in spring. But
our park squirrels are so well fed
that they have little occasion to
engage in either of these forms of
depreciation.

woMAN's GOOD SCHEME.
Dressed Her Dog as = Baby and Per
fectly Fooled Street Car
Conductors.

This is a real good dog story a.
related in the Portland Oregon
ian:
He is a pug, and a great pet Of
his mistress, who Is very fond Of
his fine pedigree. One dayshe dis
covered that Teddy could not see
as we'll as usual. She felt as sad az
if he were a brother or sister, and
a famous Oculist was consulted,
who told her to bring her pet dog
to him.
They started, but a great OBJ
stacle presented itself. COnduo-
tor after conductor insisted that
the dog could not ride on his cart
so that it was only after getting
on and off about a dozen times
that the doctors Office was
reached.
Teddy was quiet as he could be
while having his eyes examined,
and his mistress was told she
must bring him every day for q
month, and all would be done for
him that was possible. So Teddy'S
mistress went to a neighbOr who
had a small baby, and borrowed
an outfit that was not too dainty.
Teddy kept very quiet while
being dressed in the long, white
dress, then a cloak and muslin
cap, and over the face a long veil.
Thus they started. Immediate
ly upon entering a car, if it was
filed, up would Jump a man to give
the woman carrying a little baby
Il good seat. Teddy never wagged
his little curled-up tail once,
neither did he bark.
Each day the trip was taken
with the same result-a good seat
and a very quiet baby.
One day the doctors office was
filled with people awaiting their
turn, when a woman turned pO-
litely to Teddy's mistress and
said: "My turn comes next, and
/ will await for you on account Of
your baby. 1t is so tiresome to
wait with a baby"
The doctor opened his door at
that moment and called them both
in his private office. He said: 81
