A Clever Animal Mevor TOM L. JOHNSON, of Cleveland, has been pluckily fighting a law-infringing street railway. He tore up some of the railway's tracks, an injunction was served against him, and then he in his turn secured another injunction. “We arc like the old lady and the dog, with our injunctions and mandamuses and what not,” said Mayor Johnson the other day. “There was, you know, aa old lady who rented a furnished villa for the summer, and with the villa a large dog also went. “In the sitting-room of the villa there was a com- fortable armchair. The old lady liked this chair bet- ter than any other in the house. She always made for it the first thing. “But, alas, she nearly always found the chair occupied by the large dog. “Being afraid of the dog, she never dared bid it harshly to get out of the chair, as she feared that it might bite her, but instead she would go to the window and call ‘cats,’ “Then the dog would rush to the window and bark, and the old lady would slip into the vacant chair quietly. “One day the dog entered the room and found the old lady in possession of the chair. He strolled over to the window and, looking out, appeared much ex- cited and set up a tremendous barking. “The old lady arose and hastened to the window to sce what was the matter, and the dog quietly climbed into the chair." —Democratic Telegram. Thoughtful Miss Vinton HE small boy's mother was the only one who sat unmoved, while the small boy himself—most unwelcome addition to the informal afternoon tea— gleefully galloped around the circular table, daintily spread with silver and china, and towered over by a cut-glass lamp. “T'sa squiréus pony !"shrilled the infant, joyously, as he tossed his flaxen locks and twinkled his be- socked legs with ever-increasing speed. “Mercy! He'll have the lamp over!” shivered a nervous young woman, as the human gyroscope stumbled over the edge of a rug, clawed at the table for support, then triumphantly continued circling. Conversation froze on pallid lips as they sat awaiting the inevitable crash. Only the voice of the small boy’s mother rippled along serenely. The nervous young woman could stand it no longer. In sheer despair she ventured, “Mrs. Archi- bald—er—pardon me—your dear little boy” The lady addressed stared blankly, then grasped the situation, “Malcolm!” she said, sweetly. “Mal- colm, dear, run around in the opposite direction, darling. Miss Vinton’s afraid you'll make yourself giddy.”—Woman's Home Companion. The Beginning of a Long Line 'HE good Samaritan modestly related his exploit. “Fine!” cried his friends. “This will start the sitting up with a sick friend excuse.
