As Wlstrom passed the bouse with the stone front it darted out from the side passageway in a perfect fury of angry excitement and pursued him with paroxysmal barkings the entire length of the low fence that separatel the lawn from the street. A day or two later the same thing occurred. This time Wlstrom made a threatening demonstration with his umbrella. It was an unwise thing to do, for it did not bavs a soothing effect on the little animal, which from that time forth seemed to lie in wait for the young man, who llred only a few doors away. The moment he came in sight that brown, hairy streak would shoot from the passage, leap at him, all but scaling the tiny pickets, and raise such a clamor of hatred that it seemed the whole street must be alarmed. Wlstrom became more and more resentful. The dog got on his nerves. One morning as Wistrom started out he noticed that the front gate of the house with the stone front had been left open. He gripped his umbrella tightly and took a deep breath us he heard the preliminary yelp of defiance at the passage entry. The next moment the dog was at the fence and the next he had discovered the open gate and was out on the sidewalk at WIstrom's heels. Wistrom stopped. The dog retreated, still barking furiously; he went on and the dog was again yapping at his heels. Then, without turning, Wistrom brought his umbrella around with vicious force and?oh, Joy I?caught the dog on the ribs. m "Oh, you coward!" It was a clear, youthful feminine voice. Wistrom looked up as the house door slammed and a girl with very pink cheeks and abundant yellow hair?a very pretty girl?came running down the steps and caught up the howling dog In her arms. "How could you be so cruel as to hit a poor little dog like that?" she demanded, turning an Indignant pair of very blue eyes on Wistrom. "I?I didn't exactly mean to hit him so hard," lied Wistrom in some confusion. "You see?" But the girl turned her back on him contemptuously and ran up the steps and Into the house, carrying her pet with her. It was a remarkable thing, but Wis trom Instantly regretted hitting the dog. I All day long he thought of the girl i with the blue eyes and yellow hair and the more he thought of her the mere ! poignant became his regret After all, on eminent authority, It was the nature and delight of dogs to bark and bite and why should they be struck' with an umbrella for following a purely natural Impulse? For weeks Wistrom looked In vain at the house as he passed for soine sign of the pretty girl. He did not even see the dog. On Sundays, when he was at home all day, he did nothing but sit by the window watching to see her. Some time soon, he thought, the chance would come, and then? It came at last, that chance. Wistrom was walking down an obscure street one afternoon when he saw a forlorn and mud-caked little dog that nan DlUTCUUg IIL1U Wllllllllg aiBCODSOlutely In the shelter of a doorway. There was something familiar about vthe dog. Wlstrom thought, and he stopped to look at it more attentively. Yes, it was certainly the dog. If there had been any doubt about it the way he snarled and snapped when Wlstrom stopped to pick him up would have instantly dispelled It. Undoubtedly the dog had strayed away. Well, muddy and wet as he was, WlBtrom stowed him underneath his coat, to the coat's and a white waistcoat's ruin, and half an hour later he was ringing the bell of the house with the stone front. An elderly woman answered the ring and went Into ecstasies of delight at the sight of the dog. It was quite a touching reunion. She? the elderly lady?was most grateful to Wlstrom, too, and so pleased to learn that he was a neighbor. The poor dog, she explained, had been confined to the house in consequence of a ruffianly young hoodlum having abused him, and so being let out for exercise had I scampered off. Wlstrom coughed behind his hand. "Your daughter will no doubt be glad to see her pet uguin," he said, politely. "My daughter?" I "I?er?supposed the young lady to be your daughter," said Wlstrom. "A rather tall young lady, with blue eyes?" "Oh." said the lady of tbe house, "that was my niece, who was making me a visit a few weeks ago. She went back to Dubuque and was married last Thursday. A lovely girl!" Rags was growling at his rescuer. And the next morning as Wlstrom passed he ran out and harked at him as savagely as ever. Boy, Fetch Us Bartlett! "Mr. X la certainly well read.

Some months ago an old man called at the French embassy and asked to see the ambassador. M Cambon saw him, and the. man produced a little square of old red silk, He explained that this was part oi a tricolor flag captured at Waterloc by a party of soldiers which included his grandfather. They had cml up the flag, and this piece had been treasured in the family ever sinoe The old man felt that he could nc longer keep it, and wished to hanc it baok to our friends the French.

The conversation in the lobby oi a Washington hotel, the other evening, turned to the solution of difficult problems, when this little anecdote was recalled by Congressmar James R. Mann of Illinois: One afternoon an esteemed citizen, who was employed in a big mercantile house, sought his way to th< private office, and gently bulged into the presence of the boss. "Mr. Smith," said the employee in response to the interrogative lool of the other, "I came to speak to yot about my salary." "Your salary!" quickly interposec the boss. "What is the matter witl your salary ?" "It is just this way, Mr. Smith,' the employee started to explain. "1 cannot save half as much on wha yon are giving me today as I did 01 what you gave me five years ago, anc I thought? " "I see! I see!" cheerfully inter posed the boss. "We can easily fu that. Suppose we give you what w< gave you five years ago?"?Philadel phia Evening Telegraph. DRINK MUCH CHAMPAGNE. Twenty thousand dollars a day an spent in New York for champagne This is not a guess but a carefull] prepared estimate based on figurei furnished by the big liquor and im porting houses. Before the Civi war gentlemen served carefully pre served and personally cared-fo: wines, but with the mad rush fo: precedence that followed the Civi war and the forced nomadic propen sities of succeeding generations, i became impossible to keep wine foi ten or twenty years before beinj served. That is the real reason whj champagne is the fashionable drinl today. UNWILLING TO EXCHANGE. "Oh, mother!" exclaimed a littli girl, as she ran in the house afte: school.
