A Surprise Coming.

A horse was standing along Chestnut
street the other day anchored by an
iron weight. The horse. not knowing
what else to do to pass away the time,
was industriously chewing the strap.
A newsboy happened along. and after
watching the animal for awhile he
grinned a cluster OF grins and turned
to a man who was standing near.
Don't say a word" be gleefully re-
marked. "Old Umpire here is going to
have the surprise Of his life in a few
minutes"

ed the man. glancing first at the kid
and then at the horse.
"Nothin' is the matter with him.
was the happy reJoinder Of the news
boy. He may eat the strap all right
but when he gets down to that weight
he will think he has struck a boardin'
house. Philadelphia Telegraph.

II Would Elatter Man

Few men have deserved and few
have won higher praise In an epltapb
than the following. which was written
by Lord Byron on the tomb OF his dead
Newfoundland:
Near this spot are deposited the re-
mains of one who possessed beauty
without vanity, strength without inso
lence. courage without ferocity and all
the virtues OF man without his vices.
This praise, which would be unmean-
ing hattery If inscribed over human
ashes, - but a just tribute TO the mem
DRY of Boatswain, a dog. who was born
at Newfoundland May 3, 1903, and died
at Newstead abbey Nov. Is, 1905"
