A DOG STORY.

A good story is told in Dumb Ani.
mails of a red Irish setter dog belong
ing to a Washington gentleman.
The dog, however, lives on Penobscot
Bay all the year round, in charge of
fisherman. Not long ago the dog,
whose name is Pat, rescued no fewer
than seven persons from a fishing
smack that had been thrown on a
reef in a heavy gale. The smack
was wedged on one of the reefs on
Great Spoon Island, about two hun
dred feet from the shore. The men
hoisted signals of distress, and were
in momentary danger of being swept
away. Tremendous waves were run
ming, and the crowd of excited fisher
men on shore knew that it would be
fatal for them to attempt rescue, as
no boat in their possession could live
in that sea. Suddenly the one who
had in his care the dog Pat bethought
him that the dog had been taught not
only to retrieve, but to tow boats from
one point to another, and often when
a boat would get adrift he would be
sent for it, and he would run his nose
under the painter until he would come
to the end of it, and he would take it
in his teeth and fetch the boat to shore.
Pat was at once called. A long
cod line was attached to a piece of
lath and flung as far as possible into
the water. Pat promptly sprang in,
swan to it and brought it to the shore.
Several times he repeated the perfor-
nance. The fishermen were in de-
spair. The waves were splashing so
high they could not direct the dogs
attention to the men on the reef.
Finally Pat seemed to comprehend
that there was something more seri-
Gus on hand than he at first thought.
He raised his head and looked intent
ly over the water. His eye caught
sight of the boat with its signal of
distress and the waves dashing over it.
When the lath with the cod-line
attached was again thrown into the
water Pat at once sprang after it,
took the lath In his teeth, and instead
of turning to the shore, struck out
through the roaring surf to the reef.
Many times he was buried under the
waves, but after few minutes Of iu-
tense suspense he was seen Chamber
ing up the side of the reef, and
great shout went up as the imperilled
sailors took hold of him and lifted
him into the boat, in an almost ex-
hausted condition. In brief time
strong rope was attached to the cod
line. The men on shore were sig
nailed to haul away, the rope was
made fast to the reef and the shore,
and one by one the men passsd hand
over hand from their place of danger,
the brave dog following when he got
his second wind.

THEY WERE swINDLED.

Richard Mansfield, the recently de-
ceased actor, hired a private secretary
few years ago, but was compelled
to discharge him because he could not
spell and was otherwise rather lame
in the matter of education. When
the young man had received the no.
tice of his dismissal he went to the
actor and asked for an explanation.
1.-The fact is, he was told, 'your
education Is too meager for the re-
quirements of the position.
Greatly offended, the ex-secretary
exclaimed: "Why, sir, my parents
spent S., 900 on my education"
"Then, my dear boy" said the ac-
tor, "I would advise them to institute
proceedings for the recovery OF the
money. They were swindled."
Another story told of him was his
witty reply to the promoters who came
to him for capital to float "the great
est scheme since Col. Sellers time. /"
They painted their prospects in more
colors than the rainbow, and their op-
timistic verbage was more brilliant
than an autumn sunset.
Mr.. Mansfield listened then asked,
with delicious sangfroid: "Do you
know why the Lord said to Ananias,
Stand forth'?" Upon receiving
negative reply he said "Well, l
don't, either, unless it was that you
three could stand first, second and
third +"

song for the years of old,
All cleaned with memOry's gold.
A song for the school-bOy days we knew,
OF loyal hearts, and friendships true.
OF dreams that vanished with the light
OF later years, and clearer sight,
As came we through the mist and night,
Into the dawn of the infinite.
A song for the school we loved,
From it our hearts ne'er rOved.
In the old rooms oft we wandered through
Times fields of learning, strange and new.
We heard each poets deathless song
Like bugles singing clear and strong;
Or down the ages past we went
And drank its knowledge, richly blent.
A song for the girls we loved
From them our hearts have r0ved,
For US their warm lips have grown cold,
Yet we remember days of old.
AS memory points with shining hand
Far back to youths enchanted land.
And o, for one brief, joyous day,
Like those we spent In needless way.
song for the quiet dead.
Deep In each narrow bed.
AS the winds sweep over the strings of gold
They breathe of opal dawns of old,
When jewels sparkled DER the leas,
And voices drifted on each breeze.
Out in the orchards of bloom went we
And dreamed Of the fruitful years to-be.
A song for our old school home.
And paths we glad did roam;
For the road to fame holds many thorn
And hearts wax old, and feet are torn;
The skies hold storms, as far we go,
And soon the fields are white with snow.
So sing of the old school days,
And of childhood's primrose ways.

FACTS ABOUT THE JEWS.

The number of Jews in the entire
world is approximately II, 900, 600
scattered among all the nations of the
earth.
OF this number, about 1000, 900
are in America-half of these in New
York; 100000 in Chicago; 100000
in Philadelphia 5000 in Boston
so, 900 in St. Louis, and the rest dis
tributed chiefly in other large cities.
In an area of single square mile in
New York is a population of more
than 400, 900 Jewish men, women and
children.
The Jews almost control the wealth
of the world. In Germany, nearly
one-half of the rich people are Jews.
Six sevenths of all the bankers of
Prussia are Jews, while only one in
$50 is day laborer.

A PARTNERsHIP.

Said the baseball bug
To the lazy germ,
Were getting close
To the heated term,
When the skies will shine
Like a sheet of flame
And the crowds will gather
To watch the game.
I'll chase the players
From base to base
While you tempt men
To a shady place,
Where they can gaze
Till their souls enthuse
And yell at the umpire
All they choose.
Well show the world
On q summer hour
How the smallest may oft
Exert most power.
The statesmen great
And the financier
Will yield to the spell
As we draw near.

DRINKS HIMSELF
TO Death

With no friends or relatives
appearing to claim the remains,
the body of. middle-aged man
named Brady lies at the under

East Twenty-sixth street. He had
been drinking heavily for a week
and had left instructions with
Henry Hademan, proprietor of
the house. to tell nobody his room

There is one man who can
probably throw light on the iden-

a cripple who visited him at the
Potomac several times. The
stranger designated him as
