Dog Remembered His Errand.
From the Westminater Gasene.

From the Westminster Gazette.
A new and true addition 10 the endless
string Of dog stories is told by a correspondent
In a country village on the Continent.
The village innkeeper had trained his dog
to 60 every day at a certain hour and fetch
his masters paper from the Office where it
was printed. One day on his way home the
dog met an old enemy; the two engaged in a
fight. and the newspaper came TO grief. When
his foe had skunk away the victor. with an
anxious look in his eyes, stood over the tat
tiers.
At that moment a gentleman holding a
foreign paper came into view, walkinE leisure
ly along, and the dog al once, and without
a sign of agitation, took hold Of it and carried
1t TO his master. whose asConismeut at re-
ceiving a doreign paper gave way to pride
and vain glory when the victim of this eX-
ample of shameless highway robbery. who
had followed the dog. laughingly explained
the ali uatjou.

STORIES OF ANIMAL LIFE.
How Balloons Dispose OF the Aged.
From he Washington Post.

'In certain parts Of South Africa" said
Thomas Asbaldistone Of johannesburg, there
are balloons which carry into practical OPP
Grafton the doctrines Of DR.. Osler. These
simians have no earthly use for the aged
of their own tribes and when one Of their
kind gets too old to help himself the rest
ostracize him completely. neither tolerating
his society nor helping him to sustain life.
Never was there an exhibition Of such
csllous and cold blooded Indifference as these
'babyans' show to their helpless old. One Of
our scientific men who had made a study Of
this phase OF their life told me that in this
treatment of the aged by the balloons the
theory Of Darwin was vindicated, and that
there need be no further search Of the missing

Elephants Generate Electricity.


Employing elephants to generate electricity
is a novel idea which is receiving attention
In Indian circles. and the utilization of ele-
plants for working dynamos is likely to be-
come an accomplished fact.
1t Is proposed In Bombay to employ the
elephants six hours a day generating electric
ity which will be stored In batteries and used
at night for lighting streets.

A Tryinw Dialect.

Trying Dialect.
 When I first arrived I used to have my own troubles understanding the common people. It isn't that they drop their. h's so much. They don't. but they have such a funny manner of pro- nouncing say" and way" (sigh and wigh) 1t really makes you so nervous you can't understand what they sigh!
 The worst "h" I ever heard dropped was at the tower. when the attendant, fearing lest was going to forget some- thing tand wishing, perhaps, to earn an honest sixpence) remarked, 'Hi 'opes, miss, you won't forget to see the haxe in the next roomw
 And, really, the way he brought it out frightened me more than the sight of the bloody "haxey itself. although 1t had chopped off the heads of quite a few notables in its day.
 It seems to me, speaking Of the Tower, that 1t is terribly overrated. The fact is, there is precious little left of it, and what there Is you suspect Is doctored up with horrors for the bene- fit of the American tourist. who wants four murderers at tleast to every square inch. Bless his heart!
 The best of 1t all is the Beauchamp tower. where the inscriptions by the prisoners are, but even these have all been transferred to one room and neat ly numbered so that they can be read by means of a guide book, which really takes away the romance. However, there are still the narrow doorways you have to stoop to enter and the winding stone stairways, only wide enough for one person at a time, and the dungeon windows.
 You come away filled with the per- sonality of Henry VIII, feeling as If that monarch were still, very much alive and you stood good chance of mourning his royal displeasure and los ing your head.
 To aid in the ghastly illusion, the gar rison keeps pet ravens. and they fly around the site of the. scaffold and cav in the most dismal manner.
 I'm glad didn't live in those days.
 I have been to the ZOO, but not to Westminster abbey yet-which shows that I am slightly different from the ordinary tourist.
 But. really, 1t was fun at the ZOO. I kept giving the keepers sixpences to take the animals out of their cages until the woman who was with me al- most had a fit.
 I finally bribed the keeper to drag out an ocelot, and while the spotted beauty let out growis like thunder I managed to put my hands on its back for just one-tenth of a second.
 No. don't think I shall go in for animal training.

The latest announcement is that Rep resentatiye Grosvenor. the most con firmed standpatter of them all is going to investigate the charge that the steel trust charges American shipbuilders more for iron and steel than they sell it for abroad. What if he should find the charge true? Surely 1t would call attention to the tariff more fully than it ever has been called to 1t. To the outsider 1t looks as if Grosvenor is going to get the G. O. P. Into a peck of trouble. It certainly looks as if he Is playing right into the hands of the Democrats by making such an inves- tigation. Representative Rainey gave the standpatters an object lesson on the-tariff last week. It Is but the fore runner of what is to come. And that all points to the fact that barring the unexpected the next campaign will be fought along tariff lines. But if the Republican party believes that protec- tion is no longer popular they will desert 1t just as smoothly as they did silver in 1896. The Republican party Is opportunism personifed.
