Give Him A Chance.

Don't let the boy have to ask, or,
worse yet, tease, for every cent Of
spending money. Every child
should contribute his share to the
work on the farm, simply because
it is right, and by no near should
he expect pay for doing his duty.
However, to cultivate a spirit Of
thrift and independence, the orphan
lamb, the pet pig, or a few hens,
may be the property Of the small
boy, and any money ACQUIRING
therefrom, his also. The larger
boy may cultivate a parcel of the
farm (small or large, according to
circumstances on shares, with
results satisfactory to father and
son alike. 1t will be found that
the average boy will be as careful
and wise in expanding his own
money as his fathers money

crew could be summoned to assist
Anderson the dog jumped to the
deck, fought his way through the
swirling water until he had reached
the sailor, and seizlng him by the
trousers leg, pulled him partly in
board. Then settling down on
his launches, the collie hung on
with the tenacity OF a bulldog.
Anderson had become exhausted
by this time and let go his hold on
the line just as the dog grabbed
his leg. That is why Hector is on

When the Dutch tank-ship Hal
nut, which plies between New
York and Antwerp in the interests
of the Standard Oil Company, ar
rived in this port yesterday her
crew had been increased by one
member. Since 1887, when the
Hainut went into commission,
Captain Jacobs has always handled
the ship with two mates through
fair and stormy weather, but on
this trip he made a promotion for
bravery and now has a third
officer"
About two years ago, during a
heavy gale, a Scotch collie was
born on the Hainut and was named
Hector. He soon became the pet
of the ship, as his mother, un-
usually intelligent, and has been
the mascot of the ship since the
day of his birth. He ranked as an
"A. b." and drew his pay in food.
The Hainut left Antwerp May IS,
and on the 10th ran into a snoring
Southwestern which hauled to the
northwest next day. Shortly after
eight bells on the morning OF the
2oth Hans Anderson, one OF the
crew, was standing forward OF the
main hatch and was caught in the
wash of a huge comber, lifted off
his feet and whirled to the lee rail.
AS the ship heeled he saved him
self from being carried overheard
by grasping the blight Of a line
which was Delayed to the rail, over
which he also threw one leg and
hung cupboard in this precarious
position.
Hector was on the poop deck;
where the officer had come to get

VANITY FAIR.

A Social Culture Club has been start
ed by the teachers and pupils of Wash
on College, Washington, with the OBJ
ject of improving the table manners
of the young people. Here are some
of the fines imposed on members who
broke what are called the "ordinary
rules of good behavior:
Using toothpick in public, 3 cents;
hand in pocket at table, cents; scuf
fling under table, cents; not sitting
erect at table, 1 cent; fitting chair
back, cents; talking with mouth full,
? cents; uncomplimentary remarks
about food, ? cents; placing another
dish on plate, cents; knife or fork
misplaced, / cent; spoon left in cup,
! cent; incorrect holding of knife or
fork, ! cent; arms or elbows on table,
? cents; overreaehing, ! cent; eating
from knife, cents; buttering bread
on tablecloth, l cent; talking across
from table to table, cents; spearing
bread with fork, 2 cents.
1t is a pity that this laudable move
ment should be confined to young peo-
pie, seeing that their elders need it
quite as much. Think of the prince
ly revenue that might be derived from
those who grasp the fork as though it
were a shovel and who seem incapable
of bringing both knife and fork into
continuous and synehronous play.

English society is rejoicing in the
absence of restraint that now marks
the royal dinner parties. 1t was not
ever so. The dinner party with Queen
Victoria at the head of the table was
not exactly a festive occasion, while
the effort to preserve the artificial pro-
prieties was not conducive to an en-
loyment of the viands. The queen
had her own opinion about people who
took more than one or two glasses of
wine, while guests who spoke without
being addressed were her peculiar alb
horrence. Persons of real distinction,
whose conversational powers or intel
lectual brilliance were the cause of
their invitation. were of course given
a freer rein, but they were expected
to seintillate all the time and to be
on continuous tan.
The queen never forgot the occasion
when Thomas CARLYLE was her guest.
Nenturing to express a royal opinion
upon one of the topics of the day, she
was overwhelming by n torrent of
scOrnful condemnation as the sage of
Chelsea poured forth his own vigorous
and adverse opinion in a sublime for
getfulness of his surroundings. Ger
tainly the queen had never before been
so fatty and entirely eOntradicted. as
she had never before encountered such
a demonstration of intellectual tyr
amy. But she enjoyed it to the ut
most and was accustomed to relate it
with gusto. But she had a strong OBJ
lection to the conversational methods
of Mr.. Gladstone when the national
business was under discussion. She
said that he talked to her as though she
were a mass meeting.
But the dinner parties given by the
king are very different affair. Having
selected his guests, there is no further
social interference. Every one talks as

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 Little Rock, Dec. IS. - To his friends over the state, Gov. Pin dall is today mailing bark and chips from one of the historic ash trees planted at Mt. Vernon by George Washington, which he secured while on a visit to that historic spot last week. Gov. Pin dall was walking through the grounds of the park when he came upon two men chopping down tree. He remonstrated with them and was informed that the superin- tendent had ordered the tree cut down, 1t being old and refusing to yield to treatment. Gov. P1ndall then filled his pockets with bark and chips and brought them home to give to his friends as souvenirs.
 A. R. Bragg, traffic manager of the Little Rock Merchants Freig ht Bureau, is today sending over the state letters to shippers, advising them to stand by their old bill of lading, and not to accept the new uniform bill of lading insisted upon by the railroads of the state. The Iron Mountain railway has answer ed Manager Bragg, by saying at none of its ations will an inter state shipment be accepted, which is not accompanied by uniform bill of lading. The Cotton Belt is making the same rule but the Rock Island recently decided to rescind its order for uniform bill of lading. The Iron Mountain claims the interstate commerce commission ordered the use of the uniform bill of lading, but in answer to this, Manager Bragg is using a letter from the chairman of the commis- sion who states the commission simply recommended, and did not instruct the arbitrary use of the uniform bill of lading.
 There will be no prosecution of Gov. X. O. Pindall for the appoint ment of Al Shields, of Little Rock as expert accountant to examine the books of the state treasurer, and thus mourning a debt which will make a deficiency in the gov ernor's contingency fund, as was intimated yesterday. Gov. Pindall admits that he has technically violated the laws of Arkansas, but insists he would have been guilty of a more serious violation if he had neglected to make the appoint ment. The law requires the gov ernor to appoint an accountant to go over the treasurer's book once each year, and the accountant to be paid not more than S2oo for the work, the salary to come out of the governors contingent fund. The fund is exhausted. The legisla ture recently passed an act making it penal offence for the governor, or any state official, to incur a debt in the name of the state, over the appropriation made for such purposes. By exceeding the con- tingent fund, the governor has violated this act. Gov. Pindall says it was mandatory upon him to make the appointment, and expects the legislature to unquestionably pay the bill. Gov. Pindall says there would have been no de- 6ciency in the contingent fund, but from the fact he drew his first SIooo of salary therefrom. Gov. Pindall states that after that time he secured money from other sources upon which to maintain himself and turned the governors salary over to the family of Gov. IObp . itt1e
