LATE DELIVERY

DOG THAT LIKES TO SWING.
Family Keeps Rope Constantly Ready
 for His Amusement.

In the front yard of home on East Ninth street rope dangles from branch of tree.
 Wonder what that ropes for?" ask ed man of his companion as the two were passing the house one morning
 Co in and ask, if you're curious" the other advised
 young woman came to the door.
 We, that is-I was sort of curious about what the rope on that tree is for" the inquisitive one stammered.
 Why, that's Johnny's swing" the young woman answered.
 Out of the door dashed Johnny-a fox terrier. A leap and he fastened his teeth in the rope and growing and jerking signified that he was ready to swing. The young woman pushed him back and forth until he reached the topmost branches of the tree
 Johnny would stay there hanging on that rope all day if we would let him. she said. That's why the rope is kept tied up out of his reach"
 Johnny is the property of Charles E. Hicks, of East Ninth street.-Kan. sas City Times

The Social Secretary.

Long ago it was found desirable to place the work of factory improve ment in the hands of a salaried so. clal secretary, says The Reader. This person, man where men are en- ployed, woman where girls are in question, serves as appoint of contact between the firm and the workers. supervising what may be called the domestic department of factory life to see that abuses which arise be- cause of carelessness or other causes are corrected; that the man or wom. an has every chance for doing work Tn such way as to deserve advance ment and to see that it comes; to protect the firm from the wasteful ness of keeping on the pay roll those who fail to give days work for a days pay in some cases adjusting salaries according to capacity. Not Tn the least in the nature of spv the social secretary is concerned pure. ly with the business of insuring fair play for both sides, more particularly from the employees viewpoint.
 Firms which employ such a person find the social secretary worth every cent of the good salary commanded.

HEARTS IN QUEER PLACES.
Some Long, Some Short and Some in
 the Small of the Back.

There is one curious fact which not everybody notices about the common finger long, green caterpillars of our larger moths. Their hearts, instead of being in front, are at the back of the body and extend along the entire length of the animal. One can see the heart distinctly through the thin skin and can watch it's slow beat which starts at the tail and moves forward to the head
 Hearts of this sort reaching from head to tail are not at all uncommon in the simpler creatures, says St. Nicholas. The earthworm has one, and so have most worms, caterpillars and other crawling things.
 Hearts in the middle of the back are also quite as frequent as those in what seems to us to be the natural place. Many animals, the lobster. for example, and the crawfish and the crab which have short hearts like those of the beasts and birds. never theless have them placed just under the shell in what in ourselves would be the small of the back.

Duck Raising an Industry.

In Iceland. on certain islands. near Ryckavik, the cider duck is raised in systematic manner. It is really more of small goose than duck, being so independent of fish and ami. nal food as to be able to support itself by grazing on the seaweed at the bot. tom of the sea, at considerable depth. It is splendid diver, being as much at home under the water as on the surface. The great value of the cider ducks down is we'll known. and, owing to the birds tendency to pull out such large quantities for lin. ing it's nest that it leaves its lower breast almost bare when it is setting. there is no difficulty in getting a good supply of these feathers without de. stroying the birds. In Iceland it is strictly guarded against intrusion. The inhabitants consider it crime worse than stealing deer in Scotland for any person to shoot an cider duck.

4 FEAST OF THE SIMPLE LIFE.

The August number of the Outing contains many beautiful short items, which most naturally appeal to nature and the simple life. In these days of monotony, ice famines, dust and heat, it is refreshing to read articles like these:
 Blessed and simple above all con- jugations is this of berries and milk! Have you ever eaten big bowl of fresh milk? It should be warm from the COW, then filled just one-third full of dead ripe blackberries, and another third of farm-made bread. What a terrible thing it is to live away from the farm. The best city loaf has con- ventional smell, and then it looks just like every other city loaf. But in the farmers kitchen the dough is kneaded by Gladys inspiring arms, and tell you that into that dough she puts something beside oxygen; it is her own healthy soul-sick souls and folk heartsore ought never to touch our food. And the milk, it is not that white liquid which you pour out of big tin cans, and labeled milk! but it is that which bubbles in the pail, and in which the cream rushes to the top. "-E. P. Powell.
 Whoever has had the privilege of lying at full length on some messy overhanging bank while watching a large trout Tn his lair, perceives that true figure has yet to be drawn of him. Even photography can give no hint of the wavy circles from the spotted dorsal fin undulating loosely athwart the broad back; of the perpetual flaming of the pectoral fins, of the capacious gills opening and closing, the half open round mouth, the luminous brown eye, the ceaseless slow vibration of the powerful tail nor can pen adequately describe the startling suddenness of the dart at some idle fly touching the sur face, the quick return to the old posi- tion and the resumption of the boise with head elevated at slight angle, pectorals all tremulous, and floating, watery circles emanating from every slight motion of the body It is also worth while to watch trout rush four feet up perpendicular fall of water, pause, tremble violently all over, and in moment throw himself clear of the stream and fall into the basin above, at an elevation of about three more.

life's Triumph.

I count the greatest gain to be Not merely in the victory. Men triumph round us day by day As all men triumph, in a way; But what 1 get of what I seek Makes me the more content and meek To do my task and go my road And serve my time and bear my load And love my loved and keep my creed Of faith in loves inviolate deed With this one grace of triumph more Than aught of all that went before That up and over all the rest The victory we should count the best, And treasure most. and boast about, Is learning to have done without!
