Tke Wonderful Feata He Performed
For Joseph Jefferson.
There is a story that is toid of Jo
seph Jefferson and the boys that had
to do with the training of dogs. It
appears that there was a gentleman in
New Iberia who owned a very Intelli
gent animal, and he was moat anxious
for Mr. Jefferson to see an example of
his prowess. Accordingly he brought
him to the Island one day and put him
through his various tricks, which were
remarkably clever.
When the performance was over Mr.
Jefferson expressed his appreciation
and wonder at what the dog had done,
but added that he had an animal that
was even more remarkable. As the
gentleman seemed to be in some doubt
as to the truth of this statement the
dog, a dejected, stupid looking beast,
vuVjMUi UUU ' M A J OUU Vt
dered him to go into his room and
bring him a shoe. , ,
Obediently the dog trotted into the
house to presently ' appear witlh the
shoe in his mouth. Taking it from
him, Mr. Jefferson patted him upon
the head and told him to return to his
room and bring Mm the slipper for his
left foot.
"And, mind you, bring the left one,"
he cautioned as the animal trotted
away.
When he returned in a moment with
the left slipper the gentleman could
hardly express his astonishment, but
Mr. Jefferson waved the matter indif
ferently aside.
"It is nothing,' he said. "However,
we will now try something a little
more difficult" Then, turning to the
dog, he spoke to him very Blowly and
carefully. "Now go Into the library,"
said he, "look upon the bottom shelf
on the rigiht hand side of the room
and you will see a set of Dickens.
Bring me the second volume. Remem
ber, now, the second volume; not the
first or the third, but the second."
When the dog returned in a few
moments with the second volume in
his moutfli the gentleman retired in the
utmost confusion, declaring that in
comparison with such a prodigy his
own much vaunted animal was little
better than an imbecile.
And I may add that Mr. Jefferson
enjoyed the Joke fully as much as did
the boys, who, according to a prear
ranged plan, had placed each succes
sive article in the prodigy's mouth.
As to the prodigy, his one accomplish
ment consisted of trotting into the
house and trotting out of it again.

Ueason Way a Man Marries a Girl
and Makes Her a Slave.
A young man not many years ago
began going to see a girl; he kept her
out on the front porch and hanging on
the front gate late at night, and finally
he married her.
The girl's father is In good circum
stances, but the young man Is poor, so
for the first time in her life she began
to know privation and want, the Mem
phis News-Scimitar says.
She cooks for him, cleans, sews,
mends and slaves for him.
. Why has this man put this woman
in a position where she must exporj
ence hardships In addition to his
tyranny?
Because he loves her.
This is the common interpretation
of love, the sweetest word in the lan
guage. " '
Because he loves her, many a man
has brought many a woman down to a
hell, which she has loyally striven to
turn into a ieaven.
Woman is so constituted that so
long as she believes herself loved and
appreciated she can forgive anything
and endure ' anything and still be
happy.
A wife is the only laborer on earth
who works for her board and clothes
and is expected to be grateful for the
privilege.
The husband who doesn't economize
on expressions of affection or stint his
wife on praise may do as he will with
out friction or argument
So long as be does not sink the lover
in the household he need fear no rival.
He may forget every other rule, but If
he remembers this all will be well.
Every woman Is an idealist, and she
will break her neck trying to live up
to what she thinks a loving husband
expects of her.
But even she appreciates a day off
now and then.
Sitting alone at night waiting for a
husband to come home doesn't thrill a
woman with delight a bit more than it
would a man.

At Capetuwn, in South Africa, where
the traveler usually has the first
glimpse of the continent, is Table
Mountain, a magnificent natural curl-
oalty which rises behind the city to
the height of almost 4,000 feet and
has a level top about three square
miles in area. Its resemblance to a
huge table la so marked that the
dense clouds which collect at times
around the summit are referred to as
the tablecloth. A pretty little flower
which is found nowhere else on earth
grows on top, while on the northern
