DRESSED DOG AS BABY.

Ihio L. q rnnI tr,nn dnor srt. ~,

HOw n Woman Outwitted stony.
Hearted Street Car Conductors.
This Is real true dog story
He is a pug and a great pet Of his
mistress, who is very fond Of his fine
pedigree. One day she discovered that
Teddy could not see as well as usual.
She felt as sad as If he were brother
or sister and famous oculist was con-
suited, who told her to bring her pet
dog to him.
They started, but great obstacle
presented itself. Conductor after con-
ductor insisted that the dog should not
ride on his car, says the Portland Ore
gonian; so that it was only after get
ting on and off about dozen times
that the Doctors Office was reached.
Teddy was as quiet as he could be
while having his eyes examined, and
his mistress was told she must bring
him every day for month, and all
would be done for him that was posi-
BILE. So Teddy's mistress went to a
neighbor who had a small baby and
borrowed an outfit that was not too
dainty. Teddy kept very quiet while
being dressed in the long white dress,
then a cloak and muslin cap, and over
the face long white veil.
Thus they started. Immediately upon
entering car, If 1t was filed, up
would jump a man to give the woman
carrying a little baby a good seat.
Teddy never wagged his little curled-
up tail once, neither did he bark.
Each day the trip was taken with
the same result-a good seat and
very quiet baby.
One day the doctors OF ., was filed
with people waiting their turn, when Il
woman turned politely to Teddy's mis-
tress and said: my turn comes next
and l will wait for you on account Of
your baby. 1t is so very tiresome to
wait with baby
The doctor opened his door at that
moment and called them both in his
private office. He said. 81 will show
you the very best patient l have" and
took Teddy carefully in his arms. He
threw back the white veil and dis
closed the dogs little pug nose and n
pert little face looking out cutely from
under the frills of the cap.
Teddy can see pretty well out Of one
eye now. His mistress expected huge
bill for the experts service, but In
stead she received a receipted bill from
the good doctor with note saying that,
as Teddy was the first patient he had
ever treated of royal dog blood, he
esteemed 1t a great honor to have been
the means of helping him.

Constable advanced eagerly to give his
hand to Mrs. Stansbury, who received
his greeting with cooling repression. He
would have been dismayed, had he not
felt on former occasions polar draughts
from this source. Still, he paid her
unquestioning homage. 1t was enough
for him that Mr.. Stansbury, an admirable
American gentleman, honored her with
life of one-pointed devotion; that his
ance and heart vastnesses, cherished her
goodwill. 1t was enough for Consta-
Bile, indeed, that Mrs. Stansbury mothered
a daughter. He was by no means above
conceiving that another should dislike
him; although Mrs. Stansbury was in
other respects an Isis veiled too darkly
for his perception. The years had not
touched the elder woman. She had the
same tendril-like delicacy of figure and
refinement of face. Her eyes had often
startled him with their world-weariness
and world-knowledge. They were always
wonderful-the eyes of a mystic and vib-
rant with the suggestion of undiscovered
continents in their depths. The cool,
gracilent fingers slipped quickly from his
hand.
81 have always remembered your gra'
cious hospitality" Constable said.
II remember, too," Mrs. Stansbury re-
Piled with scarcely trace of a smile.

Advertising, says Lily Herald Frost
in the st. Louis GlobeDemocrat, Is
the lance with which the modern cru
sader, known as the business agent,
invades the world of commerce. And
an extraordinarily effective weapon 1t
Is, as the breakfast food people and
the patent medicine houses well know.
The man woh doesn't advertise Is
soon derelict, as idle and useless as
painted ship upon a painted ocean.
When the advertiser ceases his labor
It Is then that the receiver gets busy.
1t Is when advertising dominates
literature that one feels like protest
ing. The commercial spirit rules the
reading world and thrusts its volumes
upon 1t with wealth of encomlums
and a perslstency that usually win.
BY such judicous exploitation books
are sold by the thousands. Their
names are seen everywhere, In shop
windows, on billboards, placarded along
with brands of cigars or some superior
make of whisky. And they are accord
ed such high sounding phrases of mer-
it, Of cleverness, of dramatic posslbili-
ties, that, backed by the authors name
and the illustrators art, they present
such visions Of delight that ever curl
rous mortals must buy them just to
satisfy their curiosity.

How to Keep Water Cold.

Having tried it, l recommend the
following mode of keeping ice water
for a. long time in a common pitcher"
says writer in Womens Home Com
panion. place between two sheets of
thick brown paper layer Of cotton uat-
ting about half an inch in thickness !;
fasten the ends Of the paper and bat
ting together, forming circle, then
sew or paste a crown over one end,
making a box the shape Of stovepipe
hat minus the rim. Place this over an
ordinary pitcher filed with ice water,
making it deep enough to rest on the
table, so as to exclude the air, and you
VIII be astonished to see the length Of
time that the ice will keep and the
water remain cold after all the Ice has
melted"

The harbor was weirdly hot The
heavy, moist sweetness of horticultural

of Saint Pierre, had been supplanted by
dry, devitalized draughts of air. His
throat and nostrils were irritated, and to-

south the night grew clearer. He fol-
lowed the crcling shore with his eyes to
the Morne d'Orange, which marked the
southern boundary of the city. Beyond
the morne stood the great plantation

pure purple in that direction, and the

had scarcely stepped ashore from his
launch at the Sugar Landing when he
heard his name called and saw the futter
of a handkerchief above the burdened
heads of the natives in the market place.
1t was Miss Stansbury, in a carriage. She
greeted him merrily:
"Uncle Joey went out to the ship from
the lower landing. l told him l would
capture you IL you touched here. We are
very glad you've come, Mr.. Constable"
He took her hand and gained the seat
beside her in the carriage. "Thls is

Peter Constable was singular In vari.
GUS ways, possessing large fortune and
no fixture, save the natural bent of q
student. He had specialized in geology
for dozen years. Exceedingly tall, big
boned, and angular, Constable had a plain
kindly face and large, quick hands. His
nose was immense, and not to be classi
fed. He carried his head bent slightly
forward, as many tall men do; and it was
a well-browed head of goody contour
There was a puzzling solemnity in his
countenance. One would not have been
surprised to hear that this man was q
gambler, a preacher, or humorist; and
not knowing exactly why, one would ex'
pect 1t to be added that he was a good
man in his class.
