' "No," replied the owner of the dog. "that Is only a little delusion of hi. When he was a puppy a bee stuns him on that foot you see him attending to, and ever since he ha cherished a standing grudge against flying Insects. Apparently the sight of one not only arouses his anger, but recalls most vividly his first experience with one, for each time after running after one, whether he catches It or not, he stops and tenderly licks the place where he was stung two years ago.

Webster CVpyrlgut, UMi, by Edwin J. W.brtar Chita, the big black panther, was growling sullenly, bis growl occasion ally rising to a snarl of exasperated, Jealous rage. Ills mistress. Carmen, dainty, pretty, from appearances very far from being a person capable of ruling and restraining the big, fierce cat antmnis of the circus, was standing In front of his cage, Ordluarlly the sight of Carmen caused the big panther to set np an affection ate purring. But on the present occa sion Tom Howard, the beat athlete In the great circus, was talking to the pretty Carmen. It was plain even to a black panther that the interest How ard took In Carmen was more than friendly. It was also plain that Car men was far from displeased at this interest And that was the reason the big panther was growling, for a deep and consuming Jealousy of stalwart Tom Howard filled Chita's heart Just then a warning bell rang. This was the signal for Carmen to get ready for her great "animal school act" Her scholars were not rosy cheeked boys and girls, but a very grim looking set of pupils, consisting of Chita, the big Bengal tiger and Diogenes, the sleepy but big maned, strong jawed Numidlan lion. In thla act each of the great felines left bis own cage snd entered a larger one In which Carmen was seated on a low chair, a small rod, the symbol of her authority, In her band. Chita trotted willingly into this cage. He was devoted to Carmen, and now that Tom Howard was out of sight there was nothing to disturb his good nature. The Numidlan Hon walked Into the cage In a lasy, nonchalant manner. He evidently looked on the whole tiling as a bore. But he had eaten a good dinner, felt at peace with the world, and, anyhow. It would soon be over. As he took his place be looked at the crowd with languid curiosity, vawned I and acted like a Hon who considered a THE IMPACT OP TUB SHOCK THKKW CAB MUN TO TUB FLOOR. scnooi ror u non or his years as a nuisance, but not enough of a one to make a fuss over. But the big Bengal tiger evidently was In an ugly frame of mind. At first bo refused to enter the cage. Car men struck him lightly with her whip. Like a flash the big lips curled up, showing the long, sharp tiger fangs, and at the same time he gave a snarl of rage, low and rumbling at first, but rising until It re-echoed from every part of the circus tent But Carmen looked him steadily In the eye, and after a moment's hesitation the great striped beast slunk to his place. It was plain that be was in a dangerous mood. Despite the tiger's bad temper the lesson would probably have gone on as usual had not Tom Howard hap pened to step beyond the entrance of the covered way leading to the quar ters of the circus people when they are not In the rings. Tom was always Intensely worried when Carmen wad giving her animal school act. It was this anxiety which led blm to leave the circus quarters. But his well meant consideration proved costly. As Tom stepped from the canvas covered passageway Chita saw blm. The sight stirred the black panther's smoldering Jealousy. He stooped abruptly in bis role as Carmen's pupli, Jumped off the pedestal on which u had been sitting at "attention" and sent forth a fierce, snarling growl In which be expressed his hatred of the man whom be felt bad usurped first place In his mistress' heart. At the first notes of the angry snarl Carmen turned reprovingly to the black panther. She knew there was not the least danger of her pet attacking ber, but he must go on with his perform ance or the act would be a failure. "Chita," she said In reproachful tones, looking straight Into the angry pan ther' eyes, and as she did this she turned her back on the still sullen Ben gal tiger. The big tiger had been growing more and more sulky as the act proceeded. HI nerves were In bad state, and the angry snarl of the panther had been the finishing touch. Now Carmen had taKen her eyes tilt mm. mat sot lltd It. He dropped fitirn his pmlestnl to the floor of the enj.e. uaUiered him self for the spring ami tfte next Instant was shooting through the air, a black and yellow bar of dcndly energy. The ItnpiH't of the slunk threw Car men to tiie floor; but, quick as the helical tiger had been, the paulher was iiutt'kcr. All thought of Jealousy van ished at sikht of the attack on his mis tress, llefore the tiger could use tooth or claw t lie tithe, strong limbed pnu- tlior had launched himself right at the tiger's throat. Over and over on the floor of the rage the two great cats rolled. Ordi narily the panther would have been no match for the far larger tiger, but the panther had caught bis grip first, set tling his sharp, deep biting teeth In the ilger's throat. Thla prevented the ti ger using his teeth effectually, but his claws, especially those on bis strong hind legs, could be used. Again and again he struck out with them, ripping through the panther's skin like a aoft glove, But he could not shake the deadly grip Chita had on bis throat. Although he might be torn to piece by the great claws, Chita meant to hold on until be felt his teeth meet lu hla opponent's windpipe, And through all the terrible struggle Diogenes, the Numidlan lion, sat on his pedestal, lasy, good natured, only calmly Inter ested In the life and death fight of bis fierce fellow pupils. When the circus men separated the two big cats the Bengal tiger was dead, and the black panther, torn In twenty places, was dying, Carmen was un hurt, except for a few slight bruise caused by her full on the floor of the cage. Tom Howard was foremost among the crowd which bad rushed to the cage. As Carmen placed her band on the head of the big panther who bad died to save her Chita opened his great yellow eyes, now fast dimming In death. But even In death the ruling passions of his fierce wild animal na ture held strong. Hla eyes brightened. with affection at the sight of Carmen. Then his glume fell on Tom Howard. The Jealous snarl started from deep dowu In his throat He half raised bis head; then It sank down, and the black panther's eye closed forever. And Diogenes, the big maned lion, sat on his pedestal, calm, nonchalant, disinterested, aloof. Ho was waiting for the signal "School Is over." It did not come. Diogenes wnlted a little longer. Then he opened hi great Jawi In a half suppressed yawn, c!ropcd to the floor of the exhibition cage and trotted laxlly off to the most comforts ble corner of hi own cng. Aa Arabia Horse Story. A pretty Arabian story Is told to this effect: A man wa riding upon a horse of pure blood when he wa met by 111 enemy, who wa also splendid ly mounted. One pursued the other. and he who gave chase wa distanced by the oue who fled. Despairing ol reaching una the pursuer in anger ahotited out: "I ask, In the name of God, has your horse ever worked on land?" "He ba worked on the land for four days." "Very well; mine never has, and, by the beard of the prophet, I am sure to catch yon." Toward the close of the day the horse that never labored wa the vic tor, and as the rider of the degraded horse sank nnder the blows of bts en etny he saldi "There ha been no blessing upon oar country since we have changed our courser Into beasts of burden and of tillage. Ha not Clod made the 01 for the plow, the camel to transport mer chandise and the horse alone for the race? There I nothing gained by changing the way of God." Cnaas; Wroaa-fat by New Woman. "res, indeed, said the old man thoughtfully after hi wife had de livered a dissertation upon the prof res of the sex, "the new woman Is vastly different from the old." "I thought you would realize that In time," she returned rather sharply. "I have Just been reading," he went on, "bow girls used to be sold by their parents, and some of them brought fancy price." , "But there's none of that now, thank heaven!" "exclaimed the new woman proudly. "Woman has asserted her self, and"- ' "No, there' none of that now," Inter rupted the old man. "That's all past A man does not buy a wife in the days."

CLIMBING PLANTS. The five Uiaral t'Jaaaea, With Their IVenllarllle. Climbing plants may he divided into five classes - Irnok cllmlHrs, root climb ers, twiners, leaf climbers and tendril bearer. Hook climbers are tiulmt with hooks, which are caught up lu the sur rounding vegetation, Bout climbers, like ivy, throw out (liters along their stems and ascend slowly, Insinuating themselves by means of rootlets, which grow away from the light and Itecomo glued to the stem of trees or to harder surface. Twiners, like the scarlet runner, hop, convolvulus and bryony, twine them selves around tin uprluht stems of their neighbors, Home, like the convol vuius, bond toward the left; other, like the hop, twine to the right. The climbing habit, boweveral most perfectly exhibited by plantslth sen sltlve prehensile organs, eliLS' leave or tendrils.
