A FAIrHFuL DOG.

An interesting story of a dog has
been told by gentleman who was
travelling in France during the war
with Germany He met one day some
wounded soldiers returning to their
regiments, and observed one of them
who had little dog. an iron-gray
terrier, evidently English, following
at his heels, bat only on three legs.
In an earnest manner the old man
told him how the dog had been the
means under Providence of saving his
masters life.
He had been struck by ball In
the chest when fighting near Ham,
and lay on the ground for six hours
after the battle was over. He had
not lost consciousness, but the blood
was flowing freely and he was get
ting weaker and weaker. There were
none but the dead near him, and his.
only companion was the English ter
rier, who prowled restlessly around
him. with its masters kept military
cap) in its mouth.
At last the dog set off at a trot,
and the wounded soldier felt sure
that his only friend had deserted him.
The night grew dark and the cold
intense, and he had not even the
strength to touch his wounds, which
every instant grew more and more
painful. His limbs grew cold. ard
feeling sickly faintness stealing over
him he gave up all hope of life and
commended himself to God.
Suddenly, when it had come to the
worst, he heard a bark which he
knew belonged to only one little dog
in the world; he felt something lick
his face, and saw the glare of lam
terms. The dog had wandered for
miles till he reached roadside inn.
The people had heard the cannon all
day, and seeing the kept in the dogs
mouth, and noticing his restless move
ments, followed him. He took them
straight to the spot, faster than they
could follow him with little cart.
just in time. When the friendly help
arrived the man had tainted, but he
was saved. !.
There were tears in the mans eyes
while he told the story. The dog had

sefo the task of cutting the other man out rather than
to picking quarrel with his lady love. A jealous girl
once said to the sister of her nnce the of visit
to his home: You will keep him for me- won't you?"
The sister answered IF man needs to be kept by
some one else he is not worth having Better let either
man or woman go, however dear they may be- than be
bound by the CALLING cords of jealous love.
For, indeed the love which continually must be fed
and nursed, which cannot stand alone is not worth the
trouble 1t occasions Still less is 1t wise cling to the
cold corpse of dead love- Better, far BETTER to bury 1t
out of sight and forget 1t, If And if one ac-
ually cannot forget least pretend to do So
The art of making believe is useful one in human life
and there is much wisdom in the caustic saying that
hypocrisy upon occasion is of the greatest virtues
which woman possess. A man generally may show
his feelings without reproac but such license al
lowed a woman Neither any deny that 1t sometimes
happens that may pretend well deceive not

A BOY AND A woopcHucK

A BOY AND A WOODCHUCk.
Teddy was sick in bed. The doc
tor had just come. Teddy could hear
him talking with mamma in the next
room.
II can't persuade him to touch the
milk" his mother was saying. He
never drinks it when he is well. What
shall l do?"
Teddy listened eagerly for the ans
wer. DR.. Huntington was such kind,
jolly man.
"Starve him to it,"
Teddy could hardly believe he heard
Alright. He trusted his ears still less
when the doctor walked, smiling, up
to the bedside.
How do you feel this morning?"
he asked, taking Teddy's wrist in
his cool hand.
81 haven't had anything to cal"
whined the little boy. Il can't drink
milk.
You'd better try" said the doctor.
81 can't! Mayn't have cooker"
"No."

mo"
"Why not?"
Because milk is better for YOU"
"But can't drink it!'
The physician was preparing pow
der, and did not reply.
Teddy wondered if he had heard.
Did you ever hear the story of the
little woodchucks?" DR.. Huntington
looked up with merry eyes.
No sir" said Terry. What is it?"
"Well, it was this way" and the
doctor settled himself comfortably in
his chair: there was once little
woodchuck that lived in nice, deep
hole with his mother. There was moth
ing he liked to do quite so we'll as to
run around in the sunshine. At the
other end of the lot there was a tall
tree, and one morning the little wool
chuck's mother said, Today you must
learn to climb that tree! cannot
always be here to protect you, and II
dog should catch .you away from
home you'd be in a fiue plight
but the little woolchuck looked
UP in the steep trunk, and said, oh,
can't and ran away.
THE next morning his mother said
to him again, To-day you must GER
tainly learn to climb that tree! But
once more the little wootcnuck ans
wered, I can't!' can't and ran OF!
| to play in the sunshine.
ut was not long before the mother
went to visit neighbor. The little
| woodchucl was having a glorious
time, when, all of a sudden, he heard
a yelp, and there was dog rushing
| towards him! He looked longingly at
his hcme, across the lot, but the dog
was between-and he was coming
nearer every second! The little
woodchuck ran as hard as he could
make his feet fly, but the dog ran
| faster. Just as he thought he couldn't
run much farther, he came to the big
tree. Dear mel he gasped, I can't
climb it, And then, because the dog
was almost upon him, and because
there wasn't anything else to do, the
little woodchalck just scrambled III
that tree-up, up. up, till he was cut
of the dogs reach! You see, he had
to, and so he did!
II hope tomorrow morning l shall
find you great deal better" AMI the
doctor smiled a kind goodbye.
Teddy lay thinking, after his mother
and DR.. Huntington had gone out.
81 wonder If could.' he thought
I'm awfully hungry!" and he reached
for the glass of milk on the table by
his bed.
When his mother came back, the
glass was empty, and Teddy was smil-

THE HUMMING BIRD.

THE HUI MMlNG BIRD.
The little humming bird, whose
rapidly-whirrling wings sounding like
hive of bumble-bees makes pleasant
music as we doze of a sumner after
noon under the honeysuckles, is a
member of a large family, most album
dant in the topics of South and Cen
trail America. In the United States
there are 10 species but only one of
these, our familiar ruby throat, in
habits the region east of the Miss!s-
sippi River. One of the pleasant sur
prises of life on the deserts of the
Far West is the glimpse to be had Of
such tiny travellers, flashing about in
the bright sunlight in quest of the
nectar of the flowers that blosm on
those arid wastes.
They are pugnacious little fellows
and great sticklers for what they may
consider their rights. Some kinds OF
humming birds seem to think every
tree they perch on is theirs exclusive
ly, and will not tolerate other birds
on the same tree with themselves. In
spite of their diminutive size they
are no mean foes, even hawks and
other birds Of prey meddling with
them having to beat retreat before
the savage onslaughts of the needle-
like bills, which are sagaciously direct
ed at the eyes of their enemies.
AS class humming birds are sing
ularly devoid of fear. They have
been known to fly within few inches
of human face and remain there as
long as before flower, raised on
their humming wings. Not infrequent-
ly they may be noticed flying around
indoors, If the windows are open, and
will perch composedly on some ar
ticle of furniture and make leisure
ly toilet.
The empty nests are always inter-
esting finds for country rambles, be-
ing often found suspended at the tip
of twig and Swallowed by a bunch
of leaves. On account of their small
size it takes sharp eyes to discover
them. They are shaped like shall
low cup and lined with wool or sim
liar soft stuff. The birds exercise
great care to keep them level. so
that the tiny eggs shall not roll out.
A case is on record of nest which
was kept in equilibrium by bit of
stone carefully fixed to the side dis
posed to tilt up.-Philadelphia Rec.
