THE OUTSIDE DOG.
tYon may sing of your dog, your bottom dog,
Or of any dog that you pleaso:
1 co for thu log, the nico old dog
lhiat knowingly takes his oanlo,
And wagging his tull outsido the, ring,
J(eoping always his bono in sight,
Caros not a pin ein his Houlnd old hund
For either dog in the light.
Not his Is the hono they aro fighting for,
,And why should my dog sail in*
I- Ii nothing to gain but at corain chance
To loso his own precious akin?
'T"hero may ho a fow, perhaps, who fall

When she was alone Flossie eurlod
he-r dlaint y' self in a large ea.sy chair
an;d laughed softly as she0 recalled( heir

At fIrst hecr expriession wvas slightly
bored, then astonished, andi finally she
thIrew the sweets andI letter' on tihe floor
fhcing heriself face dlown on a couich
antd comnmenced wveeping. Tile portion
of Tomi's letter which had produced
such dIre results ran as follows:
"[ had such a strange and excIting
adventure that [ feel it my duty to
stell you all about It. You know that
my hotel Is In one of the best streets
here, and that from my wIndowsI
can see muich of the beauty and fash
ion of Berlin. However, I never
dreamt of such a visIon of loveliness
as the piece of feminInIty whose ac
quaintance I madte yesterd(ay."
At this hlossie's blue eyes opened
wide, she sat up,) loosed her' h111oldn
tile tchocolates, andt read on:
"Tile object of my admniration sat
in hera carrIage alone andc ulnatten('dedl
just below my window. Suddcenly
heard the ruish of a runaway horse
from tihe opp)osite direction, and set'

"Fancy!" exclaimedl Flossie.

vited her to a seat on the sofa, and
then endeavored to enterta.n this fairy
guest to the best of nm ability. You
must not be shocked, dear, when I con
fess to you that we soon becarne great
friends, and that she came of her own
accord and sat on my lap--"
It was here that ilossie flung the
obnoxious letter away from her and
began to weep wildly, and was so ab
sorbed in her grief that Miss Tread
way entered unobserved.
"Why, what Is this?" exclaimed her
aunt. She bent over the prostrate
form and said: "Flossie, dear, toll
aunty."
The girl only cried the more, but
at last wailed, "That man; that wicked,
false man!"
"Who do you mean?" asked the be
wildered woman.
"'T'om! See, the letter on the floor!"
Mrs. Treadway picked up the letter,
put on her glasses and began to read;
at first she looked puzzled, then
amused, and finally she laughed out
right.
ilsossie raised her head and gazed
at her reproachfully with tear-stained
eyes which looked like wet violets,
and said:
"Oh, Aunty, how can you laught?
The false villain! To let a strange
woman sit on his lap! And I loved
him so!"
"Why don't you finish the letter?"
asked he' aunt, with a quizzical ex
pression in her kindly eyes.
'hecause I won't!" cried Flossie,
springing to her feet. "Never mention
that man to tme again. Where are my
hat and my jacket? I am going to
ride with ar. Trevor at five, and if
he asks me to marry him I will say
'yes.'"
At. this Miss Treaday oaly smliled.
"'l'here, there! Sit down and listen

I amal not mitaiaken you left off ,ju:4

"Yest." c rird I''lo:=:e. "Ilow (-an you

loitcd severity of lone, obeyed.

"I.Flossie," said Miss Treadway, later
on, 'how dot you like the idea of

PIIILOSOPI1Y OF CROWDS
ADVICE FROM AN EXPERT ON HOW

Crowds furnish nourishing food for
philosophy. It takes a philosopher to
appreciate them to the full. Take a sup
posititious case: Suppose that you are
tightly wedged in a sharp-cornered
mass of struggling humanit-y,
a musician of the Wagnerian
school playing the anvil chorus
on your right ribs, an able-bod
led pantomimist performing the )evil's
Tattoo on your left ribs and a stren
uous anatomist taking liberties with
the small of your back. Unless you can
view life from a broad aspect, you will
revile fate. If you are a philosopher.
however, you will congratulate your
self that you are there and proceed to
square the score against your fellow
men by taking it out. of the man in
front. If youl are ingenious you will
even have a little balance left. to your
credit, provided you go about it in the
right way. In a crowd, the man in front
is fair game. Those in the very front
row alone are helpless and it is only
right that they should pay the penalty
of their sulprior position. It is not gi\
en to any class of men to have thinl;s
all their own way.
It has often been remarked that
crowds are good nattred. They are. A
crowd will break every cigar ill a man's
pocket and laugh good-naturedly while
doing it. A crowd will step merrily
over ta select. collection of reluctant.
fect with the happiest good nature. A
(lOwd will tear Ia m1an's clotties. carry
away his parcels. squeeze the la:;t gasp
ofl breath out. of his body and Ilien
black his eye, all withl the utmlost good
nal tire.
'The man who suddenly :top.; In a1
crowd':led procession has a ni c hot.

get a warl reception fromll his victims

fact in the phc'nomena of crowds that

To purify large quantities of water
in case a tilter is not obtainable it is
a good plan to use alum, for this will
cause all impurities to sink to the bot
tom, when the clear water at the tol)
may be poured off and will be fit for
use. One tablespoonful of alum will be
required for four gallons of water. It
must be stirred in thoroughly and then '
allowed to settle.
