A Japanese House.

A Japanese house causes a Euro
pean visiting the country for the first
time unparalleled establishment. The
interior is spotlessly clean, dead set
is waged against dirt in every shape
and when you enter you discard your
boots. To retain your boots on your
feet is an indiscretion that is not
quickly forgiven.
On looking round, you wonder where
the rooms are situated, for only one is
visible, and that apparently takes ur
the whole of the house. As a mat
ter of fact, for the moment-we will
assume that you are calling during the
day-the residence cannot boast OF
more than one chamber. But, strange
ly enough, this one compartment can
be converted into several others. The
Transformation trick is effected by
means Of panels, which when run into
their places divide the house into sew
eral rooms. If you require a few feet
of space to yourself, you just slide
along a few panels, and behold your
wants are satisfied. With the utiliza
ton Of panels you actually make a
room. At night the bed rooms are
constructed in the same way. The
floors consist of mats, and it is on
these mats that you sleep. There are
no beds. In the morning, when the
family is up and about, the bed cham,
bers disappear-the panels are put
back-and you have one large apart

those inside. They are composed Of

a Doc Of Heart and courtesy.

Il saw a very pretty scene a day or
two ago during one of the heavy after
noon rains" writes a correspondent OF
the Jacksonville Times-Union, "A lit
tie kitten, the pet of some children,
probably. with blue ribbon around its
neck, soft gray fur and dainty white
feet, had wandered out into the street,
and feared to cross the gutter where
a swift stream whirled and dashed
along 1t was mewing piteously, but
no one paid any attention to it In this
busy world the moaning of human
being excites but little attention; how
much less, then, the crying of a for
lorn kitten. Then there came along a
great Newfoundland dog, with bright
intelligent eyes and glossy coat. At.
tracted by the little Kittens distress,
he gazed at ii a moment then glanced
quietly ABOUT him. The nobler animal,
man, was going by unheeding. so this
dog walked out into the street, picked
up the kitten in his mouth and carried
1t gently to the sidewalk. There he
placed it on a dry spot, licked it kindly
once or twice. wagged his bushy tail
and went down the street. It was a
little thing, but it struck me that that
dog had something higher than intelli
gence."
Dogs usually reflect the manners
and morals of their owners in some
degree; how many dogs are there who
taught by brutal masters. would not
rather have killed the kitten?

He was just an ordinary dog, with
no pedigree. Who his parents were.
OF where he was born, he never in

from which he occasionally came forth
at night to bay at the moon, or an

the neighborhood.
His name was Pup. just plain Pup.
Once little girl called him Puppy,
and he was so surprised at her kind
ness that he licked her hand, and she
ran away screaming. After that he
never heard the pet name Puppy"
again.
Pups occupation was chasing the
chickens out of the back yard, and
watching for crusts of bread to be
thrown out Occasionally he got a
bit of meat, or bone from the kitch-
en-, and then he was very happy, and
would wag his tail as he gnawed the
gristle.
Several times the dog man tried to
catch Pup, but Pup was wise little
dog and always got away and took
refuge in the coal shed. Then he
would peep through the cracks and
bark and growl at the dog man. No
one seemed to care whether the dog
man caught Pup or not. If he had a
real friend, he did not know it. That
is, until something happened. This
something changed the entire course
of Pup's life.
One night, Just as Pup went to the
coal shed door to bay at the moon, he
saw bright light up near the roof
of the house, where the lady lived who
fed him crusts of bread and gave him
old bones. At first Pup thought
it was star, but no, it could not be
a star. 1t was too big, and then,
there was smoke. Suddenly Pup I'M
derstood. The house was on fire.
"Bow-wow! Bow-wow! Bow-wow!"
barked Pup. but no one answered his
call. If he was heard, it was only
thought he was baying at the moon.
This will never do" said Pup to
himself. THE kind lady who gives

plain, but Lem he flung open the
kitchen door and got the Deacon start
ed out and then he give him a kick
that sent the Deacon sprawling into
a snow drift Lem then follered him
out into the yard and when the Dea-
con got up Lem kicked him down
again Every time the Deacon would
get up Lem would kick him down
At last tho Deacon got tired Of this

the house and demande% a explanation

around his neck and told Lem that

that when the Deacon put his arms
around her she didn't think no more
about It than she would II her own
father had of done it and SO Lem he
forgive her, but he didn't forgive the
Deacon.
It appears that the jury which Lem
was serving on was dismissed Satur-
day afternoon until Monday and Lem
thought he would spend Sunday at
home so he walked all the way from
the county seat and got there just in
time to see his wife in the Deacon's
arms.
After Lem went into the house the
Deacon limped home. His wife asked
him what allied him and the Deacon
