The family horse, who rejoiced in the eminently proper equine name of Dobbin, had earned a rest by long service, and was accordingly sent away to the country to spend his de clining years in the broad pastures of a farmer friend of his owner. The distance being somewhat excessive for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped to his new home by rail. Little Edna, the family four-year-old, viewed the passing of Dobbin with un- feigned sorrow. She sat for a long time gazing disconsolately out of the window. At last, after a deep sigh, she turned with a more cheerful ex- pression, and said: “Did old Dobbin go on the choo- choo cars, mamma?” “Yes, dear,” answered her mother. A broad grin spread over the little girl's face. “I was just thinking,” she said, “how funny he must feel sitting up on the plush cushions.”—Woman’s Home Companion. WELL DEFINED.

New York.—None but a fireman can understand with what pride Engineer Patrick Lynch of the New York fire department wears the gold medal pre- sented to him by the congress of the United States. It was a tribute from the nation in recognition of his bray- ery during the burning of the excur- sion boat Gen, Slocum on June 15, 1904, that Congressman Joseph A. Golden pinned on Lynch’s breast the medal from congress. The Slocum disaster was by no means the first occasion when Lynch risked his life in order to save that of others. No. 80 Cannon street was the scene of one of his first heroic acts. It was on November 14, 1879, when only a private that Lynch rushed into the burning building and tried to save those within. He was so persistent in his efforts that for eight months afterward he lay in Bellevue hospital suffering from the burns and smoke. Through the 29 years that Lynch has been a member of the fire depart- ment his record has been punctuated with acts of bravery, and he has never had a single charge marked against his name. He has been to the hospital three times, has been carried out of fires as dead several times, and as for being overcome by smoke, that is a common occurrence. The day of the Gen. Slocum dis- aster it happened to be Lynch’s day off duty. Being an able swimmer, he was going for a dip off East One Hun- dred and Forty-first street, when he spied the steamer Gen, Slocum coming upstream ablaze from stem to stern. “I saw the sand schooner John T. Russell tied up to the pier,” said Lynch in telling about it. “I rushed aboard and was about to loosen one of the boats, when a deckhand ran up and threatened me. I convinced him that I was a fireman and wanted to try to save those on the burning excursion boat. Only after this ex- planation was I permitted to use the rowboat. “There were five tugboats in the river, but all were afraid to go near Patrick J, Lynch and Medal Presented to Him by Congress. the burning ship. When I arrived near enough to the Gen. Slocum to render assistance women and chil- dren jumped for my boat, which, be- ing but a small one could not possibly hold all who wanted to get in. The result was that most of those who jumped the first time fell into the water. Then Capt. John L. Wade of the tug Wade came to my assistance and the refugees in my boat were transferred to the tug. “There was so much assistance needed that a hundred men with boats would not have been too many to render help. When I returned to the burning boat from the tug Wade I spied, near the paddle wheel, half a hundred women and children holding on. The flames had almost reached them. I rowed nearer and yelled to them to hold fast and I would try to save them. I got a boat full of wom- en and children and rowed them out to the tug Wade. The crew pulled them aboard, while I recovered breath enough to go back for another boat full.” Again and again Lynch repeated his trips between the rapidly burning Slocum and the tug, each time carry- ing a boat load of mothers and their little ones. Detective Sergeant Henry C. Firneisen owes to Lynch the safety of his wife and two children. When Firneisen heard that the Slocum was ablaze he rushed almost hysterically to the scene and, to his joy, found Lynch had saved those dearest to him. Desiring to express his gratitude to Lynch for saving his family, Firneisen presented to him a gold watch, chain and locket. On the watch is inscribed the following: “Presented by Henry C. Firneisen for heroic conduct in sav- ing the lives of his wife and two chil- dren from drowning at the burning of the steamboat Gen. Slocum on June 15, 1904.” The American League of Honor and the United States Volunteer Life-Say- ing society, Station No. 1, of Port Morris, also gave him medals. Potatoes from Sprouts. The ‘British agricultural colleges ‘sary in order to carry ‘on the normal physiological processes of the animal economy in proper conditions. For similar reasons it would also ap+ pear plausible that should this quan- tity in any way be greatly reduced or diminished, either through normal processes of the body or through ab- normal processes, this lost quantity must immediately be resupplied. Should suck a withdrawal of water be permitted to be unduly prolonged, the disorders will assume such grave dimensions that life itself may ulti- mately be terminated. Elasticity and pliability of muscles, nerves, cartilage, tendons an® even bones depend mainly on the amount of water they contain. Water also serves as a distributor of bodily heat and regulates the body temperature by the ‘physical process of absorption and elimination. Unter normal conditions and in a proper degree of health this supply is ordinarily furnished partly by the food and partly by the drink we are daily consuming. An overindulgence in the use of water—provided it is not carried to excess—will seldom, if ever, be pro- ductive of any deleterious conse- quences. THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER. It was Established Some 1,200 Years Ago. The Peking Gazette — the publica- tion of which, according to a recent telegram, has been suspended—is a very venerable patriarch among news- papers, since it is said to have made its first appearance something like 1,000 years ago, but it is not, as is of- ten stated, the oldest journal in the world. This distinction belongs to the Tsing-Pas (or Peking News), which was founded nearly twelve centuries ago. It now appears. as a book of twenty-four pages, octavo size, tied in a yellow cover by two knots of rice paper, and its price is about 20 cents a@ month. This is the edition de luxe, officially recognized by the emperor; there is also a popular edition. Eloped by Bobsleigh. An elopement by bobsleigh has oc- curred at Bienne, says the London Daily Mail, where a young Swiss, for- bidden to visit his sweetheart, carried off the girl by an ingenius ruse. The girl persuaded her parents to accompany her up the mountain route to Evilard to watch the tobogganing. Half-way up shouts of warning were heard, a sleigh came tearing down and every one ran to the side of the course. The girl alone stood still. The lover and her friends, who were on the sleigh, slackened speed, caught the girl in their arms and flashed down to the bottom of the run. There the lovers caught a train to Basle, where their marriage took place immediately. Shakespeare vs. Shaw. “Henry,” said his father, in the pres- ence of a crowd of literary friends, “tell me which you would rather be, Shakespeare or Bernard Shaw.” “Bernard Shaw,” was the prompt re- ply; and a murmur of admiration rose from the delighted Shawians. “Yes, he is only just turned six,” said the proud parent, who then con- tinued: “And now, Henry, state your reasons.” A hush fell on the back drawing room as the little fellow answered, thoughtfully: “Cos he ain’t dead, papa.” A Spider That Fishes. Prof, Berg, in Buenos Ayres, has discovered a spider which practices fishing at times. In shallow places it spins between stones a two-winged, conical net, on which it runs in the water and captures small fish, tad- poles, etc. That it understands its work well is shown by the numerous shriveled skins of little creatures that lie about in the web net.

These women are called Ainus, and upon the upper lip of each belle is tattooed something that resembles a long, flowing mous- tache. i es Wed) INDIAN RESERVATIONS OPEN. ‘| Registration, July 15 to August 5 —Drawing, August 9, 1909.

MAKING UP RIGHT QUANTITY. President Taft’s Willful Misinterpre- tation of Little Girl’s Intended Haughty Rebuke. President Taft is fond of children, with whom he is a favorite. A charm- ing story on this head comes from Cin- cinnati. Once, when a pretty Cincinnati girl was a child of six or seven, Mr. Taft, calling at her house, found nobody home excepting herself. She enter- tained him a little while, and when he rose to go, he stooped down and kissed her. “Here's one,” he said, “for the baby. Here is another for little Jim. And here is a third for Billie-boy.” The little girl, drawing herself up, said haughtily—she had been reading a novel: “Mr. Taft, you forget yourself!” He bent down again. “So I did,” he laughed. “Well, here’s one for myself!” TIRED ALL THE TIME. Languor, listlessness, dullness of spirits are often due to kidney disor- ders. Pain and weakness in the back, sides and hips, headaches, dizziness, urinary disorders are sure signs that the kidneys need immediate attention. Delay is dangerous. Alonzo Adams, Os- ceola, Iowa, says: “My kidneys failed me. I suffered aw- ful pain and was so weak I could not work, and often had to take to bed. I was dull and exhausted nearly all the time. I consulted doctors and used medicines, but only Doan’s Kidney Pills helped me. Soon I was perma- nently cured.” Remember the name—Doan’s. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

Girl's Head Encrusted—Feared Loss of All Her Hair—Baby Had Milk- Crust— Missionary’s Wife Made Two Perfect Cures by Cuticura. “For several years my husband was a missionary in the Southwest. Every one in that high and dry at- mosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughter’s scalp became so encrusted with it that I was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair. After trying various rem- edies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuti- cura Ointment. They left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a com- plete success. I have also used suc- cessfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called ‘milk-crust’ on baby’s head. Cuticura is a blessing. Mrs. J. A.

During the conversation, while the visitors were there, one of the ladies was describ- ing how the blowflies laid eggs and they hatched out as maggots. Four- year-old Blanche did not seém to be interested in the conversation nor pay any attention to what they had been talking about. After the visitors had gone, Blanche said: “Mamma, I don’t believe flies lay eggs.” “Why?” asked the surprised mother. “Because I never heard one cackle,” explained the doubting Blanche.
