The dusty road lay long and still
To where it broke across the hill;
The weary breeze would come and lift
A puff of dust, and let it drift
Against the haggard clover bloom
That gave but shadows of perfume,
And on the grass that was as gray
AS ever any dust that day.
The trees stood, thirsting, lank and lean,
With famine yellow in their green,
With leaves as shriveled as the hand
OF some old man who scarce can stanG
Because of all the years he feels;
The wagons moved with rafting wheels;
The bees with angry huns sailed by,
The birds chirped to the empty sky.
The twilight came without breath
or wind and was as still as death;
And all the night the hot stars glowed
While crickets clacked a crackly ode;
The dawn woke white, and brought
sense
OF the Sahara's heat intense,
And the thin dogs lay roundabout
With their long, red tongues lolling out.
Then suddenly a breeze laughed by
And tossed haze against the sky,
And RUNNING, racing down the hill
Came raindrops, with a subtle thrill
AS when some ripping dance-notes surge
Across the droning of a dirge.
And brook and river, hill and plain
Leaped up and sang: "The ram! The

English Versus American Wives.


Who sees and applies wisdom to the
daily course is the ideal companion.
Women quick of perception, keen
eyed, ready-minded, should make
ideal companions for their heavier and
slower-minded husbands, and in Eng
land, where education and training
aid the natural endowment, they &C
complish 1t. The Englishwoman takes
her pleasures with her husband and
keeps her interests apace with his.
She takes her holiday with him, leav-
ing the children at home or sending
them off with a governess or tutor.
She understands politics and is usual
ly an able political abettor. She has
an insight into her husbands trade
and profession, and keeps abreast of
his interests. She is physically hard
ened by a girlhood in which she
played tennis, cricket, hockey and
golf, and cannot only enjoy sports
with him, but can stand the same hard
travel, climb the same mountains, en-
Joy the same seas.
Any observant traveller abroad Aas
been struck by the forlorn pursuit of
common ends OF the American hus-
band and wife-she haunting the
shops and the theaters, and he vainly
seeking amusement and resources for
which he has had no previous train

BONNIE A WISE DOG
INTUITION TELLS HER MAN
WANTED TO WASH HER.
Exciting Days Work Provided for
Man by Wife and Setter-After
the Bath Bonnie Seeks the
Ash Heap.

What are you going to do, dear?"
the lady asked. The man was emerg-
ing from the bath room with a towel
and cake of soap.
I'm going to wash the dog" said
the man sturdily. The lady peered at
him keenly
Not with my soap!" she said. "The
idea of such a thing. With my gild-
rose soap!"
We'll, hang it, observed the man;
gimme some soap. This was all
there was in the bath room"
And one of my best towels new
one!" cried the lady despairingly. The
man threw the towel and soap far
from him.
Heavens and earth!" he said; "this
Is fuss over nothing, sure. Gimme
some soap and a rag-a blanket-any
old thing that you can dry setter dog
with
When these things had been
brought him-or to be exact, piece
of worn yellow kitchen soap and a
torn skirt-the man went into the
back yard, calling merrily:
Here Bonnie! Here BONNET" But
Bonnie was wise. Some underline
skin intuition told her that the man
desired to wash her, and she prudent
ly crawled under the house. This
made the man indignant.
Come out O. there!" he yelled.
Then he crawled under and emerged
backward, grating his teeth and rub
bling his spine, like the teeth Of saw,
upon the floor beams. In one hand
he held the elastic skin of the dogs
neck and the dog fought bitterly each
step of the way.
Once outside the man tied a rope
about the neck of the dog and pro-
cured a washtub. 1t was the one the
washerwoman used on Mondays, but
was just as good as any for his pur-
poses.
He dragged Bonnie to this tub and
thrust her forefeet in it, while her
hind feet struggled frantically out
side. When he got the hind feet in
the forefeet were paving the dirt out
side desperately. But Bonnie was at
last wet and soaped. Then the man
stepped back to throw a bucket OF
water over her; but Bonnie shook
herself briskly and in misery and a
shower bath of soapy water deluged
the man.
Blame the dog!" he said, rubbing
his eyes with hands that smelled of
yellow soap and had dog hairs on
them
Then he blindly liberated the dog
and commanded her to roll upon tho
grass.
But Bonnie, refreshed and joyous,
preferred the ash heap on which a
stovepipe had been newly beaten.
do you mean to tell me" said tho
lady later, that you washed that
dog%
Sure I did," said the man, growing
red; that's clean dirt It'll shake
off soon as 1t gets dry"

Or more new teachers will be appoint

the New York Board of Education, in
anticipation of the opening of the sec-

Also Sold Liquor.

Chief of Police Williams raided the
mans place and found several bottles
of whiskey, which, together with the
evidence of Petro, was sufficient to
convict the man and put him on the
streets. 1t afterwards developed,
however, that Petro was selling a
great deal of liquor, and an investiga-
tion was begun, with the result that
witnesses were found who testified
that they had bought the stuff of him
on several occasions.
In the trial this morning the Egyp-
tian endeavored to throw the blame
on some one else, but the evidence
against him was too strong and direct,
and he was fined in both cases, as be-
fore stated. Petro had left the city
after the investigation by the police
begun, and was located at Newton,
