THE DOG DIDN'T UNDERSTAND

Her name was Maggie Ryan.
Sullen eyed and defiant, she swept
into the police court. Her hair was
awry and her clothes were rumpled
from a night at the police station.
A little brown spaniel trotted at the
woman's heels.
Maggie Ryan had slept or tried tn
sleep on the hard. bare confines Of the
matron's room. Usually dogs-real. for
sure dogs-are not admitted to the sta
ton. but something in the woman's
wistful face caused the matron to let
this little dog in.
In the morning the woman divided
her rough breakfast with the spaniel.
With reckless bravado and scorning
the audience of curious loafers Mag
gle Ryan answered the judges ques-
tions The dog stayed close. Maggie
was arrested as a disorderly.
I'D. and D."-drunk and disorderly.
Her eyes were hard and cynical. Her
mouth was set in severe. straight
line. Traces of one time beauty lin
gered. Dabs of face powder showed
too thick In some spots.
The spaniel crouched close to the wo
mans skirts.
II will give you until tonight to
leave town." said the judge. The Judge
was kind hearted. and he had looked
often at the little spaniel.
She started toward the door. From
there she would probably hit the
rails"-out Of town, out somewhere
Of town.
The little dog started too. Briskly
he sprang TO her side. Once he jumped
up and licked her hand
For the first time that day the wo-
mans lip quivered. Her eyes softened-

when there were tears in them.
The woman's head dropped for an
instant. and with one hand she furtive-
ly gave the dogs head a rough caress.
The station door swung behind them.

little dog capered and then trotted
proudly along at the woman's side. AS
he lifted his brown eyes there was In

love and devotion.

He loved this woman. his mistress
mistress from whom other women

HAVE WOOD CARVING FAD.

Women of late are much interest,"
ed in wood carving, possibly because
one of the European monarchies has
lately adopted the art and it is quite
a fad in foreign countries for both
men and women to chisel pretty bits
of woodwork for the home. With
the regular carving tools and soft
wood it is possible for women to
design some very handsome articles.
Now that the typography needles and
colors can be added, we may expect
some masterpieces in wood, perhaps
clever limitations of Celtic or Morse
designs.

cRlEc AND HIS ROYALTIES
Pet Grievance Against American Pue
,Ishers That Great Composer
Never Lost Sight OF.

There are very few amusing anec-
dotes told of Greig. He was so serl-
ous-minded. so devoted to his music,
that he failed to see humor in any
thing. He went to the Covent
Garden in London, and was much
astonished when some of the specta-
tors recognized him. While waiting
outside the house for his brougham
man came up to him and asked
him to write his autograph on the
program. II will, if you bring my
carriage here" was Greig's reply.
Greig had little esteem for the or
ders the sovereigns desired to confer
on him. "Much better for me that
thev should buy my music than give
me little gilt souvenir" was one OF
his naive remarks to q friend to
whom he was showing his decora-
tons. Whenever, besides, an Amerl-
can visited him at his hermitage
near Bergen. the beginning. middle
and end of his conversation was us
uallv the failure of publishers of
music in America to pay him royal
ties. Say what the visitor might OF
American appreciation of the com
poser, Greig returned again and
again to the lacking royalties.

PRAISES AMERICAN WOMEN.

Lady Henry Somerset has taken
up the cudgels in defense of Ameri-
can women against the too hasty
criticism of them credited to Mrs.
Cobden-Sanderson. Lady Somerset
has been acquainted with prominent
women in this country and has
passed many months in America
since she first joined Miss Frances
Z. Willard in the temperance move
ment. Visiting Miss Willard at
her home in Illinois and entertain
ing her in her own home in Eng
land, she has formed no hasty judg-
ment of women in this country, who.
she says. are the most progressive
women on the globe.

Latest Fad Among People
Of Wealth.

The little tree, gnarled and gray,

The guest extends her bare white
arm and plucks with her slim hand
from the tree the fruit she desires.
Could anything be more charming!
"Our fairy groves of fruit trees
at the nursery are none Of them over
two feet high. They vary in age
from three to seven years. A Japan

Earthquakes are the latest cure

fact that great many men and
women who were in poor state of

appetites and defective digestion, are
