Anticipation

Lieutenant Shackleton tells how when
in the antarctic wastes he and his COM
panions sustained their spirits and
their bodies as well when supplies had
to be cut down to a minimum by dwell
ing upon the glorious eating they would
have on returning to headquarters. The
value Of such mental sustenance has
long been recognized by up to date
commanders. There was the German
officer in the war OF 1870 who sustained
the tagging spirits and weary legs OF
his men by shouting: There is a brew
cry inside that town. Let us get there
before anybody else!' History relates
that the men did get there with re-
markable speed. Equally shrewd was
that Japanese commander In the Man
churian war who, seeing his men ex-
hausted with thirst and knowing full
well the wonderful properties OF pick
led plums, cried out, Two miles from
here there Is forest OF plums." The
anticipated plums went far TO relieve
their parched mouths.

Hunting Truf1es as Sport

Quite apart from the interest Of
fungi to the naturalist, the tempta-
ton can not here be resisted to refer
to a method of procuring one kind of
fungus which might take rank among
the minor sports This is the fashion
originating in France. of procuring the
truffie by the aid of swine and hounds
More i'll assorted sporting companions
can hardly be imagined. The truffie
grows underground Pigs are particu-
guided by the scent will discover
them by roofing in the earth. After
the discovery OF the truffies the dogs
are employed to beat back the pigs
and prevent them from devouring the
spoil. And every quality dear to the
sportsman OF skill and Judgment is
needed to control and obtain the de-
sired result from the efforts OF herd
of swine and a pack of hounds--Lon-
don Outlook.

Here the guide pointed out various OBJ
iects. (which" he said, ARE OF the em-
pire. the time of the Louis and the
mode NapoIeonic" II was very inter-
esting to note the contrast between
these objects of art wrought under
foreign influence and those of purely
Italian origin.
During the last week of their stay
in italy Mr. Van Brunt received a
cablegram from friends in South Amer
lea who wished him TO reserve quarters
for them at his own stopping place. He
tried several times to speak to the
old peasant woman who kept the pleas
ant little inn where the Van Brunts
stopped. but on every occasion she was
soundly asleep under the grape vines
and he was afraid TO wake her from
her nap lest she should be angry Al
last one day he managed to find her
before she had retired to the SHADOW
of the vines for her siesta, and said,
I'm expecting friends from Peru, Gla-
conda, and want you to keep for them
the rooms that l have been having
here
This was the first time that Giaconda
had heard the Van Brunts were think
ing of leaving, and her heart was
broken at the thought of parting with
the children, to whom she had become
greatly attached. and when the day
of their departure came the Van Brunt
family said goodby with much regret
to the old peasant woman who had so
faithfully lministered to their wants.

EULOGY OF A DOG

-HE following eulogy of dog was
| delivered by the late Senator George
Graham Vest, and will bear reprint
ing many times.
Mr. Vest was in court waiting for
a case to be called in which he was in
terested man was being sued for
killing a neighbor's dog. Vest became
and the plaintiffs attorney
urged him to speak. He arose and said
slowly:
Gentlemen of the Jury: The best
friend a man has in this world may
turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or daughter that he
has reared with loving care may prove
ungrateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us. those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good name
may become traitors to their faith.
The money that man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him, per-
haps when he needs it most A mans
reputation may be sacrificed in a mo-
ment of i'll considered action. The peo-
pie who are prone to fall on their
knees to do us honor when success
is with us may be the first to throw
the stone of malice when failure sets
it's cloud upon our heads.
"The one absolutely unselfish friend
that man can have in this selfish world.
the one that never proves ungrateful
or treacherous. is his dog. A mans
dog stands by him In prosperity and
poverty, in health and I'm sickness. He
will sleep on the. cold ground, where
the wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fierceIy If only he may be near
his masters side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer: he will
lick the wounds and sores that come
in contact with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as IL he were q prince.
When all other friends desert he re-
mains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he is as con-
stant in his love as the sun In it's
journey through the heavens.
'If fortune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world, friendless and
homeless. the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of accom-
panying him, to guard against dan
ger, to fight against his enemies. And
when the last scene OF all comes, and
death takes the master In it's embrace.
and his body is laid away in the cold
ground. no matter If all the other
graveside will the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws. his eyes
sad. but open in alert watchfulness.
faithful and true even in DEATH"
Then Vest sat down. He had spoken
in low voice, without a gesture. He
made no reference to the evidence or
the merits OF the case. When he fin
ished the judge and Jury were wip-
ing their eyes. The jury filed out but
soon entered with q verdict of $500 for
the plaintiff whose dog was shot; and
Ii was said that some of the Jurors
wanted to hang the defendant

A Does Stratagem

The following anecdote is related by
M. X. Raspal. 1t is worthy of compar-
ison with the most remarkable Of i'm
stances of the same kind:
The author one day perceived doe
in full flight before two dogs in the
Aigle woods that form part of the
forest of Chantilly. The doe was ac-
companied by very young fawn.
which appeared quite exhausted and
ready to drop. The mother. doubtless.
well aware Of this, siackened her pace
and presently stopped close to some
thick bramble bushes. She remained
some time there with lowered head as
If awaiting the onset OF her pursuers.
Suddenly an idea seemed to strike
her. and with butt OF the head she
tossed her fawn right into the middle
OF the thicket. Then, first advancing
gently as III to make sure IL was well
hidden, she soon set off by rapid bounds
in front Of the dogs The latter bark
ing close at her heels, she made a sud
den bend and thus drew them far from
the spot where this incident occurred.
The bowling of the dogs became faint
er and fainter the valiant animal haY-
ing doubtless led them two kiiometers
away into the Canardiere peat bogs,
where the dogs often lose the scent.
In fact. later they were seen return
ing TO the village In an exhausted con-
dition, while the intelligent mother
doubtless returned 10 the bushes to find
the little fawn she had so cleyerly hid
den and placed in safety
