occasion. II can never thank him
enough"
"It was Jack Martin who made me
see it, Grace faltered. but he isn't
my friend as he is yours, Lillie''
why. he isl Lille said. HE
thinks you are perfectly lovely"
Grace looked at her bewildered.
II don't believe he ever thinks of
well, he talks about you a lot. -
Lille stated, but Grace wouldn't be
convinced. For SO many months she
had suffered from his indifference
left, and-it was Lille he cared for.
Therefore, when Eillie came to her
with a ring on her third finger and
said, 81 have a secret to tell you,
Grace felt her heart grow cold within
her, and she answered calmly:
Il think I know your secret; you're
going to be married.
But how did you know" Lille
asked. IT thought no one heard of
it but Jack Martini
"Of course he knew it," said Grace.
Yes" said Lille. ST told him first,
he was chum of Bob's at college,

me because of Bob, and because we
both paint, that's ALL"
1t seemed to Grace that the world
took on new radiance. Perhaps,
oh, perhaps, If she tried she might
make him like her a little.
The next morning she saw him at
dawn. His picture was almost fin
ished, and as she came up to him, he
said:
Let me show it to you"
It was just an expanse of sea lighted
up by the rosiness of the rising sun.
"How lovely 1t is" Grace said,
softly. How beautiful
Then she looked at him. yet

rected.
Then as he looked down at her he
spoke with some hesitation. "But
your beauty does count, Grace"
"Oh," she said breathlessly, "do
you really think SOP
st know it," he said. ''but there is a
new quality of it of late; you seem
sweeter and nearer to me-"
She had nothing to answer to that
and he went on slowly, For a long

seemed to think of nothing but hav-

FRON OFFER PENS
TRAINING FOR JOURNALISM.

1t is manifestly absurd to assume that
a man will be ruined for Journalism If
ne is taught journalism as a profess
sion, and it is just as ridiculous to
assert that the student will not be
greatly benefited by such training, as
suming, Of course, that the school which
he attends is good one. In journal
ism, as in anything else, some aptitude
for the work is required. Some men
cannot write and never will know how
to write. Others have no power of
observation or are woefully deficient in
the ability to condense or to separate
the wheat from the chaff.
One great trouble with journalism to-
day is that there are not enough college,
bred men in it. If the press is to in
f1uence or make public opinion, evident
ly the press should itself be controlled
by men who have been taught how to
think clearly and well, who know the
English language, who are acquainted
with history and the arts, and who are
thoroughly educated in a general way.
Yet the greatest journalists will still
be born, not made, no matter how many
schools of journalism there are. The
great mass of workers can be trained
for their work, but even training cannot
make great journalists.-Charles
News and Courier.

The Erer-FaithfuI Dog.

For the last three months a shaggy
black dog has been pacing up and
down in front of the Kings County
Hospital. Efforts of attendants to
drive him away were vain.
About August 1 an old man, sick and
destitute, Pete Donohue, went in the
hospital with a dog which he called
Bruin The doctors ordered him into
the dispensary, and the dog refused to
leave, him. Bruin was put out six
times, and finally resigned himself to
stay outside.
The first day Donohue was up he
went to the window, and there on the
walk outside he saw Bruin gazing up
at him, The dog almost went crazy
with JOY, and, despite his 15 years, he
leaped up and down as in his puppy
days. Since that time the good old
dog has patrolled regularly beneath
his masters window. Donohue is in
the consumptive ward. The dog never
will make friends with any one. al
though the physicians, touched by his
faithfulness, have taken to feeding
him.
Donohue says that he and Bruin
have wandered over a good part of
the country together. Neither OF them
had any home nor any other friends.

AGAINST CLEMENCY TO DALTON.
From recent issue of the Topeka
State Journal we learn that the
warden of the state penitenttary took
Gentleman James Dalton on a pleas
ure trip from Lansing to Topeka to
exhibit his pretty shape and work his
oily tongue to the governor in the
interest of securing a pardon. Just
why this cold b1ooded murderer should
be granted these special privileges is
more than our people can understand.
| What authority is there for such &C
ton? Dalton is good locker and a
smooth talker and seems to have the
penitentiary officials hypnotized and
now is trying to work his oily tongue
and handsome face on the governor.
Dalton is one of the most desperate
criminals in the penitentiary and is
not deserving of any favors. He is
smart and is a criminal from choice
and not from ignorance. Dalton was
| convicted in the Marshall county dis
| trict court of the murder of Jai1oI

REMEDY FOR POVERTY.

A speaker at the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist church Bable class, New York, is
quoted as saying at a recent meeting
of the class that 1.-The remedy for pow
erty lies in education, postal savings
banks and building and loan associa-
tions," in which remark there is a
great deal of truth. There are three
things that operate against poverty,
and they are intelligence, purpose i'll
life and a responsibility; and these
three things are furnished by the rem
edies suggested by the speaker.
In all these suggestions, it will be
noticed that the saving spirit is most
manifest. There is no progress that
does not involve some form of self
denial; some plan that makes a man
feel stronger today than he was yes
terday. That is what the postal bank
and the building and loan association
is supposed to do. and very often does
do.
man or woman. must have soma
ambition to get along; something that he
does for himself and leaves a balance;
some point ahead to gain. That is tire
remedy for poverty. 1t is not depend

bank or the building and loan.-Ohio

most easily, it is also most likely to be
in need of additional fertility, as such
soils are liable to be deficient in soluble
substances and nitrogen.
In the manuring of fruit trees and
orchards it must be borne in mind that
too liberal a supply of fertilizer is liable
to result in the production of wood
rather than fruit. For nursery stock
this would be no disadvantage, provid-
ed that the growth produced is not so
rank as to produce soft, imperfectly
matured wood. With fruiting orchards.
mineral fertilizers are often of great
assistance, but an excess of nitrogen
should be avoided.

WOULD ABOLISH ZOOS.

The chatting restlessness or sullen
melancholy of wild animals Gagged has
a gloomy impressivene which works
powerfully on the sympathy of sensitive
persons. A rich New York woman,
Mrs. George w. FackIer. wants to
abolish all the ZOOS in the country.
The sentiment which prompts her
commands e4dmiration without convic-
ton. Something must be conceded to
science, to amusement, to popular Curl
osity, which are all concerned in exhi-
billions of the denizens of jungle and
forest. Then, is Mrs. Fackler sure she
would really benefit the animal crea-
ton by her plan? Free wild beasts
suffer a worse fate than imprisoned
ones. The war of tribe against tribe,
furred, feathered or finny, is an end
less and frightful conflict, with no
quarter given. All hunters can tell
shocking stories of animals mutilated
by each other, or injured by accident,
and condemned to drag out a linger-
ing agony more dreadful than death.
We read of skilled medical attend
ance for elephants, lions and bears in

This Hippocrates person, in his
research, overlooked the appendix
No mention of that important scrap
of junk is made in any of his medical
works. There are two plausible
theories concerning this oversight on
the part of Hippocrates. The first is
that the average patient in ancient
Rome was too poor to afford the lux
ury OF appendicitis, and the second
is that the surgeons of that date did
not need the money to buy automo-
biles.
