Int 1*,» -Ax..-J~vr.._-._. A Remarkable Dog. O=car, my Newfoundland dog, once brought home from Edenmeuth a wild duck's nest full of eggs, which he hatch- ed out. When be conceived that the nrstlings were of an apt age he carried them to the curling pond. where he superintended their education in swim- ming. When they grew up he brought )lr. ,a local sportsman whom he often accompanied, to the spot, and his Peter. whom he would often take out for long swims on his back when the weather was fine. Unluckily, astorm arose one day. Peter was swept over- board and drowned. O.~car brought the poor animal in, dead, buried him above highwater mark, erected a biscuit box to his memory and often visited the sepulchre with offerings of bones. He Wanted Solid Comfort. “ Say,” said the man with the correct clothes and the bowed back and the horny hands of a farmer, to the restau- rant waiter, “ have you got pig jaw] and greens here ? An’ buttermilk ? An' corn bread 7 An’ kin I shovel the truck in with a knife and take my coat ofi‘ ?” The waiter told him he could be ac- commodated in all particulars. The ex farmer removed his coat and sat down opposite a man who looked as if he might be willing to listen, and ex- plained : “ It’s been two years now," said he, “ sence we struck gas on the farm, and I ain't had a square meal sence. Been fillin’ up on' Charley horse ruises, soo- flay do allakaznm, an’ all them French dishes ever senee. That’s what comes of marryin’ a woman who believes in keepin’ up with the procession when you got the price, as she puts it." ” I should think you would have re- belled long ago," said the listener. “ Would, but, you see, about three years ago I was so deep in debt that I had to put the farm in her name. I sneaked away to-day an' left her at One of them fine hotels. I'm goin’ to have an orgie on old-fashioned vittels, sas- prilly pop, an‘ mebbe a beer or two, nn’ go back an tell her what I’ve did, an‘ of she wants to git a divorce she can git it. Old Eli will hev had his day of freedom for a few glorious hours, any- way l” - A Decorative Distinction. A woman with a new dress is less an obj-sot of interest to herself than a man who, after reaching maturity, succumbs to the bicycle wave which is sweeping the world. He was standing up in the middle of the room while his wife crit- icized his attire. Season after season she had had new dresses made and he bestowed on them no further attention than to comment that they were very pretty and perhaps to add a word or two about the expense. But, to return good for evil. she was criticising in detail and giving him suggestions. “That's very pretty,” she said. “ You mean that golf stocking ? " “ No. I don’t mean the whole stock. ing; just a part of it." “ Which part? " he demanded. “ Whyâ€"1 suppose it must have a A A woman WHO KEPT HER CHILDREN IN IGNORANOE or THE WORLD. There are tragedies in nearly all people’s lives, though some may never know them by that name. We find them. too, in most unexpected places. Which reminds me that one day I stopped for dinner at a. house in the Cumberland mountains, so deep in the and his wife, with six daughters, and a more ignorant lot of people I think I never saw. After the dinner of bacon, beans and corn bread, the man and girls went back to the fields, and I talked awhile to the woman before re- suming my journey. She was a typical mountaineeress, tall, angular and sallow, but there was a gleam of intelligence in her face, quite unlike the lack-lustreness of the usual woman of the mountains. “ Don’t you get very lonely, away off here to yourself ? ” I asked her as she busied about the table. “ I reckon I mought, ef I had time,” she replied, “ but I don’t give myself no time to think about things like that.” “ And what about your girls ? Don’t they want to get out among people? " “ Not ez I ever heerd ’em say." “ Do they go to school in winter 7 ” “ Ne.” ” Have they never been ‘2” “ Not yit," this half apologetioally. “ Do they have anything to read ? ” “ They can’t read.” ‘ “ Can‘t read ? ” I repeated in sur- prise, for even though the older moun- taineers cannot read or write, as a rule the younger ones, under a more modern civilization, can. “ No, they can’t,” she said, as if irri- tated by my tone. “ Are you so far from a schoolhouse that you can’t send them 7" was my next question. “ It‘s two miles, and they could go, but I won’t let ’em.” This was a new phase, and the mat- ter became more interesting. “ Why not ? ” I asked, with a per- sistence that was risky. She stopped her work and turned to face me. “ Them gals," she said, “don’t know nothin’ but these here mountains, and that thar river down thar; they don’t know what is goin’ on in the world out- side; they never seen no steam oars, ner boats, ner telegrafts, ner telephones, ner fine houses, ner beautiful elo’s, ner gentlemen, ner ladies; they don’t hard- ly know thar's such, but I do, for I’ve saw people as has seen ’em, and they’ve told me; many’s the night I’ve gone to bed and cried myself to sleep in the left that wuz my bedroom, thinkin’ about what thar wuz in the world that I couldn’t even hepe to git a look at; I got so I could read, an’ then 1 read about ’em all, and that made it wuss; thar wuz nothin’ but mountains and loneliness and silence fur me, and I couldn’t help myself nohow. Then I married Jim, and we come here ; Jim can’t read ner write, and the pore feller is satisfied, fer he don’t know no more than the gals does and they’re company for each other. The gals might git like I was of they larnt readin’ and writin’, and how could they ever git away frum this place and go among sicb different things? They couldn’t, jist the same ea I couldn’t, an' of I kin keep ’em from knowin’ whut’s away off whar the A RUNA I/VAY Or an upset may damage your buggy or waggon, perhaps only slightly, perhaps so badly that you will want a new one.
