Love? I will tell thee what It Is to love
It Is to build with human thoughts a shrine,
Where Hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove
Where time seems young, and like a thing divine.
Yes, this Is love the steadfast and the true,
The Immortal glory which hath never set;
The best, the brightest boon the heart e'er knew
Of all life's sweets, the very sweetest yetl

Affirms Mad Stone Is a Fake
Writer Discusses Thai and Other Su
perstitions In Connection
with Hydrophobia.
Rubles when affecting human beings
Is called hydrophobia. Ah this dlsoaso
has causod a considerable consterna
tion In several sections of tho coun
try recently, n fow comments In this
connection may not be amiss.
First, lot us soo about somo of tho
superstitions associated with this dl
soaso. When a person hns been bit
ten by a mad dog, tho hilling of tho
dog does not provont hydrophobia In
the person bltton. This 1h a Joko and,
strange iib It may seem, hns been
taken seriously by many people who
should know bettor. Uottor lock up
tho dog for a fow days and soo If tho
dlsoaso develops. In enso tho dlscaso
does not dovolop tho porson bltton
need havo no furthor anxtoty. If tho
dlsoaso develops In tho dog, tho per
son will then havo plenty of time to
go to the" Pasteur Institute nnd tnko
troatmonl, which will positively pro
vfcnt tho disease from developing.
Again, tho common boiler that a
mad dog will run with his tall botwoon
hs legs, nnd froth at tho mouth Is n
mistake, Tho mad dog carries his
tall in qillto a natural position, nnd
whllo tho mouth may bo open from
paralysis of tho lowor Jaw, yet ho
can not truly ho said to froth at tho
mouth. The mad stone Is a fake, ro
nnd simple. It la nothing but a uivco
of poroim Btono (Ilka soap stono)
which when dried nnd then placed on
a moist surfaco will absorb water or
blood or nnythlng of a fluid nature
After a porson Is bitten by n mad
dog tho germs or tno disonso aro

(Cop.vrlRht. by Dally
Pinto Dobbs lay with his head Just
visible beneath the patchwork quilt,
and ono nrm stretched across tho top
of tho covers. Ills fist was clenched,
and whonover ho omitted nn unusu
ally loud snoro ho wrnthfully smoto
tho bed clothing. Pinto was evidently
having unpleasant experiences in tho
land of dreams.
His wife, clad In a dressing gown,
sat on tho edge of tho bed, watching
him. She mndo no movo to arouse
Plato from his unensy slumbers, how
ever; nnd when n light tap sounded at
tho bedroom door she opened It si
lently. "Don't make a sound, sister Ange

hatchot-faccd woman, with a bowl of
water in her hand, entered tho room.
"He's asleop at last, but he's mighty

until you've tried tho experiment on
him. Scem's If I couldn't wait another

picions were true, or only made up out
of your own head."
"Made up, indeed," sniffed Angelina;
"that's the thanks I got from my own
sister. You needn't bo afraid, I'll show
him up," nnd she gestured toward tho
sleoplng Pinto. "I showed up his two
brothers, Animous nnd Venomous,
over to Peaville, boforo I'd been visit
ing their wives two weeks. Just ns
soon as I helped thoso poor, deluded
women to pack up and go home to
their own folks I camo right over hero
to holp you out. Thero novor was a

now that I've discovered n way to un
mask 'ora It's going to bo my Ilfowork.
Did you hnvo Pinto do as I said to-dny,
so's ho'd be good and tired to-night?"
"Yes, he's been on tho go over since

book out of tho library, and he's been
reading It aloud. Thero was ono fear-

B'poso If I hadn't bought my book of

During Miss Angelina's remarks sho
had grown somewhnt excited, and,
heedlosB of tho sleeping Pinto, Bho
raised her voice a llttlo. Ho gave no
sign of rousing, however; Indeed, his
slumbor seemed moro (pilot, nnd he
lay breathing regularly, with his arm
dangling oyer tho odgo of tho bod.
Mrs. Dobbs gazed with awo at tho
bowl on tho tablo.
"Aro you sure," sho domnnded, "that
you'vo mixed It according to direc
tions?" "Certainly; I know the recipe by
heart: 'If you would know nnothor's
secrets, plnce a great pinch of Bait In

named Alberta Agnos discovered tho
secret. Como on, hold tho bowl so his
hands Just touch tho water, and I'll do

maro that had affrighted him Boomed
to havo departed. With curiosity and
awo on her fnco, Mrs. Dobbs took up
tho bowl and gently rnlsod it until
Plato's fingers dipped Into the water.
"Wot his hand more," admonished
her sister at her sldo.
Mtb. Dobbs was about to comply
when Plato struck out suddenly, Bend
ing a shower into tho face of Miss
Angollna.
"Wow!" muttered the sleoper,
"thoro she Is again. There's old bow

"There, what did I tell you?" ox
clnlmed Miss Angelina. "He's talking
nbout women a'ready. Walt till I got
tho salt water out of my oyes, and I'll
find out what bo's, boon up to. Wet
his hand again, sister."
Onco more Pinto's hand was Bub
merged, nnd this tlmo ho mado no
protesting movement. Miss Angelina
fixed her eyes on his faco nnd sternly
demanded:
"Pinto W. Dobbs, whero'd you first
meet this fomalo?"
"Um-um down by tho river," sleep
ily muttered tho man in tho bed.
"I know It," declared Miss Angollna.
"I told you, sister, that he went down
thoro for something else besides fish
ing. I followed him often enough, but
I never could catch him at anything.
Whoro'd you hide, you bald-headed old
deceiver?"
"Up a treo," responded tho victim,
with astonishing promptness. "Up n
tree tree tree um."
"Good ' lnndBl" exclaimed Mrs.
Dobbs, "thero's no woman around
theso parts that can climb a tree, lot
alono staying there whon sho got up.
Ask him how sho kept from falling off

"Dow-logged," Immediately respond
ed tho sleeper. "Old bow-legs bow

"Keep his hnnd well wet, Bister,"
cautioned Miss Angelina. "I'm going
to find out who sho is now, only I
dnsscnt ask him right out, Just yot.
What docs sho look like, Plato W?"
"Ugly, slabsldcd hawk-nosed old
gorilla gorilla wow ! "
"And you've been running nfter a
person llko that?"
"N-a-w, she chased mo every day
up a tree."
"Thero, I know it I" exclaimed Mrs.
Dobbs. "You sec, sister, no matter
whnt we'vo found out, it isn't his
fault."
"flo still, and keep his hand wet,
Plato W what Is her nnmd?"
Plato stirred, grunted, nnd hid his
faco In tho pillow.
"Wot his hand, sister. Come, you
brute, you'vo got to tell. What's her
name? Speak up."
"Angelina Barlow," and then Plntd
drowsily took away his hand and
burled himself beneath tho patchwork
coverlid.
Tho bowl of water dropped linhood
cd from Mrs. Dobbs' fingers, nnd Miss
Angelina sunk limply to tho floor.
"You'd bettor go to bed and got
somo rest, Angollnn," Bald Mrs. Dobbs
at length. "You'll bo getting up early
to-morrow."
"Do you b'llovo whnt ho said?" weak
ly demanded Miss Angollna.
"N-no, course not; only you told nit
that tho salt water mado 'em all tell

"Well, any way, you'd bettor pack

It is perhaps Uruno's tact and di
plomacy that havo mado his weekly

Broadway so popular, says tho Now
York Press. As nn example, last Fri
day evening tho subject of tho locturo
was "Shall Woman and Mnn Be Edu
cated Equally, and Why?" Thero fol
lowed discussions.
Ono boy, whether it wns thnt ho
slept or what, arose, mounted the
platform and began carefully to dis
cuss tho subject of tho week bofore
and to answer the nrguments ho evi
dently thought tho speaker of that
ovonlng had advanced in proof of his
theory. Tho nudlonco commenced tc
titter, then to laugh aloud, whereupon
Mr. Brunof sprang up and explained:
'Tho sign outside . has not been
chnnged," he said. "Tho painter did
not change it, therefore this young
mnn naturally supposed tho subject
announced outsldo to bo tho subject
under discussion this evening. It is
not his fault. It Is not our fault. It
Is tho fault of the palntor."
