They seem at a glance o: very soon thereafter to decide in their minds whether or not It would be safe to assail one who en­ tera their ownor’e promises, says Lip­ pincott’a Magazine. My own opinion la that evory one of them, big or little, of high or low degree, would liko to bito every stranger that he sees. Thoir love for their iccater makes them jealous or makes them pretend to bo jealous of everybody who approaches them, and they debnto momentarily whether or not a comer is afraid of thorn. If he is not, they either extend a friendly salute, which always is deceitful, or assume to bo indifferent lx he is, they give him a bite, more or less deep, then slink away from possible consequences. For years and years I have followed tho rule, when visiting a person resid­ ing out of town, unless I know positive­ ly that he keeps no dog of any size, to halt at the gate, raise a halloo and await not only my host’s invita­ tion, but his approaoh and his ao- companiment into his houke. I could not toll tho number of times wherein I have been barked at furiously from the inside by dogs whose owners declared that In idl their lives they had never dono such a thing before to a man of gen tool appearance. Tho oouns6ls and admonitions bestow­ ed upon me might have excited some gratitudo if they had not been wholly useless. I have been asked so many tim e s that it makes me almost Blok to h a v e the question repeated, “ Why don’t you just go along without noticing su c h th in g s , not being or at least pre­ tending not to be afraid? Not one dog in 10,000 w ill try to bite a gentleman u n le s s he is provoked or sees that he it being avoided. " A prominent German actcr, relates Albert L. Vandam in The Illustrated London News, had fulfilled half of hia “ starring” engagement in the capital of a grand duchy, and aa yet no recog­ nition of his talents had been forthcom­ ing in the shape of a decoration. Dis­ gusted, the player announced his inten­ tion of departing tho following morning. Early on that day the theater intend- ant acquainted hia grand ducal master with what, bad happened. The conver­ sation took' place in the garden of the schloaa, situated on the road to the sta­ tion, and suddenly an open carriage with the actor in it hove in right. “ Be quick I” said the prince. “ Get me that box on my writing table. If go be must, we’ll at any rate try to satisfy him in hia ambition.” The intendant ran, and returned just aa the vehicle passed the gates “ One moment, Herr U------. ” shouted the prince. “ Hert ia something to remember me by. ” Tho actor bowed low, and want hia way. In another moment, however, hia conveyance reappeared at tho gutea “ There' ere two crosses, your highuess, ” he exclaimed. “ Never m ind,” replied the prince. “ Give tho other to the coachman. ” T lt-ta t-to .

He would flourish a few lines and then stand back and describe them, and the jury waa profoundly impressed. "This,” he said, holding a piece of paper ont before him In his left band, while with his right he made passes in front of th e blackboard, so as to get a r n n n i n g s ta r t, “ is the handwriting of a person who is not used to handling a pen— not necessarily an uneducated per­ son. It might be one wbo had been so much in the babit of dictating all cor­ respondence that hia handwriting failed to settle into any permanent stylo or bad drifted into unsteadiness through lack of practice« ” The testimony did not have any par­ ticular bearing on the ease, but the Jury looked at one another, and the specta­ tors nodded their heads significantly. “The weakness of the upward strokes especially indicate that this is the hand­ writing of one wbo ia not accustomed to clerical labor, w hile the intelligence shown in pouctnetiou''— “ May the court please,’’ exclaimed a man wbo had been on the witness stand a abort time before and who had beta fumbling through hia pockets. The expert paused and everybody turned to look at the man who bad made the interruption. "May it please the court,” he repeat­ ed, with much embarrassment, “ there ia a mistake here. The expert has been testifying aa to handwriting.” “ Of oonreek" said the expert, “ that is what I am here for. ” “ Well, the paper he has been talking about it not the one I meant to hand to the proseenting attorney. I got the doc­ uments confused somehow, and what he has la a letter from an old friend of mine—a man whom I met long ago when I waa in the dime museum bad­ ness. He writes to me very frequently to let me know how he ia getting along.
