Everybody had kicked the dog out, and so Max took him in. Max was shabby. One could guess that he had no money in his pockets, but Bobo had not the keen apprecia¬ tion of such a fault “Have they all shut their doors against you, Bobo?” said Max, “Como home then and share my sausage.” Bobo comprehended the invitation, and without more ado followed Wilber up the staircase of his lodgings, and stretched himself before the empty stove, with as evident an intention of never more departing as that mani¬ fested by Poe’s Raven. A little room with a north light and an easel, with a screen which fancied that it hid a bid, with furniture worth iu the bulk five dollars; with traces of a Bohemian supper—a pound of sau¬ sages and a loaf of rye bread. He had an opera-glass, and a meer¬ schaum which was the pride of his soul; but he had no place to put them but the mantlepiece. He had an in¬ come, and he painted pictures. When the income came due, aud no picture was sold, he lived on sausage, aud grew shabby. When the sausage was cooked, he gave a scrupulous half of that and of his bread to Bobo, and the two ate heartily. But supper over, Max sat down and thought rather bitterly that that day Flora had driven past, not seeing him at all, and in the carriage with her, beside her mamma, was a young gen¬ tleman, handsome, dashing, elegantly dressed, and Flora was looking at him, and— “It must come sometime,” he said, “All the love in the world is worth¬ less without money.” Then he started to his feet and looked at his pictures, and hope came into his heart—he might make his for¬ tune some day, to be sure. In three weeks the quarter’s income came in. He would try to wait and buy a new suit and call again on Flora. He would tell her of his love, and they would wait together for fame and fortune. From that hour Max and Bobo were inseparable. Max grew fond of the ungainly beast, and Bobo worshipped Max. Under the Bohemian changes of living at the studio he partook of everything, from pate de fois gras to dry rack, but he fared as well as his master in every case; and what more can a dog ask? Meanwhile Max still adored Miss Alibi; he was her shadow u?> long as his new gloves lasted ; and he vanished from her sight when mid-quarterly shabbiness overcame him. At last his emotions overcame his comgion-sense, and being all alone in the drawing¬ room with his angel, he told her he adored her; and she gave a little sob, and turned her face fro&i him ; and he THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IS THE SUPREME LAW, FORT GAINES. GA • % FRIDAY. MAY II. 1895. caught her hand and kissed it, and ia % moment more had kissed her lips, and it was done. Whatever happened afterward. Max never could forget that blissful moment She promised to “wait for him” forever, and was so sure of hjs coming fame that he grew sure of it also; and but one thing more remained—the speaking to Mr. Alibi. That Max dreaded. When he did speak, that worthy gentleman lis¬ tened ill amazement, and proceeded forthwith to browbeat him, as though he had been in the witness-box. In the end he proved to him that ho was too poor to marry, and ended by as¬ suring him that the idea was out of the question. Poor Max, into whoso ideas of ma¬ trimony the “leaving” of his wife, with or without money, did not enter, found no answer, and was politely bowed out. The climax came in an interview with Flora, in which she wept, but de¬ clared that she must obey her father. That evening Bobo waited in vain for a word or a whistle, and the next, and the next, and the next also. Max stayed at home and painted nothing and smoked and drank instead. In a week the state of his mind was some¬ thing terrible; he was more than ready for any desperate deed, and he decided that, since he could not share his life with Flora, he would get rid of it altogether. To this end, he went out in his slippers to a neighboring shop and bought a hook and a piece of clothes line. He returned and locked the door and drew the table to the middle of the room and drove the hook into the centre beam carefully. Then he made a slip-knot in the rope, and arranged it to fit his throat. Then he jumped down and found pen, ink and paper, and wrote a farewell note to Flora and climbed to the table again, Bobo by this time considered it his duty to ascertain exactly what was go¬ ing on. His master’s face wore an ex¬ pression of despair, and dogs can un¬ derstand expression. Moreover, there was something very wrong about the whole complication. Bobo put both paws upon the table, turned his nose upward, opened his great yellow eyes to their full width and gave vent to a prolonged and woeful howl. Max was just about to kick away the chair when it struck hie ear. Ho looked down. “Farewell, "old dog,” he said; “my only friend, farewell. You are con¬ stant ; you are true. You love me, I know Tou will mourn me. ” And then it came into his mind that Bobo would , , have to cause mourn. That once more , he would ,, , be , homeless, ’ friendless, , . kicked . , from every door, J ’ abused by children, barked at by J well fed „ dogs, , scratched by cats, and f angry carried . at last perhaps , to the pound. rn To this ... , he . left his . faithful . .... . dog, , his last , friend. . . , , ^ _ ..... ° ^ *eorge, won t c o it, said Max still on his perch 1 with the about , , his . neok. , “You’ve been rope true to m c, Bobo, and I'll bear „ misery rather than leave you to suffer. Bobo, old dog, it'. « great thing to die for any one. Im going to do more for you; I’m going ° to live for you.” And Max unknotted the rope, jumped off the table, and flung himself down upon the floor beside Bobo, who licked his face, and danced in ecstacy. That night Bobo slept with his mas ter before the fire. Sometimes Max fnom the fe.eri.h hn,f..,eep in which he lost himself, and felt the rough paws on hie breast, and patted them. By dawn he fell .ound asleep, and never awakened until a quick, light rapping at his door startled him to the consciousness that it was high noon. He started to his feet and opened the door. Without was Flora, “Great Heavens!” cried Max. “You here!” And he drew her in, forgetful of his rumpled Lair and disordered cravat. “Oh Max 1 ’ she cried, “it is so strange for mo to oome, I know—but 1 have such good news. Of courso, I’m sorry Undo William is dead; but I never saw him in my life, and ho has left mo a fortune, and I am of ago to day ; and, Max, darling, I may do as I please, and papa says so. And, oh, Max--” And Max took her iu his arms and kissed her. Whereupon Bobo, quite sure that matters had reached a hapjiy climax, leaped about iu ecstacy. Whether Max ever told Flora how ho came to bo alivo on her arrival, in¬ stead of hanging from the hook iu tho coiling, it is impossible for us to bo quite certain; but one thing wo do know, and that is, that, to the end of his days, 110 pet poodle, or glossy King Charles or graceful greyhound was ever more tenderly cherished by master and mistress than was grim, ill-favored, ill-bred, faithful Bobo by Max and his little wife.— New Ifork News, The Tongues of Birds. Although the form of the tongue of birds usually corresponds to the Bhape of the bill, there aro exceptions to this rule, as, for example, in tho waders, kingfisher aud hoopoe, which, in spite of their long hills, only pos¬ sess small cartilaginous tongues. In the polican, indeed, tho tongue is al¬ together rudimentary. In most birds whose food consists of seeds, tho tongue is dart or awl shaped ; in others spatulate ;rarely vermiform or tubular. In some birds, such as the owl, which swallow their prey entire, tho tongue is broad and serves a.^jj)fniere shovel. In the hedge sparrow, nuthatch, wood¬ cock and others the tongue if bifid or trifid at its apex, while in the hum¬ ming birds the tongue is split into two branches almost to its base, and is used for actually gripping the small insects on which these resplendent lit¬ tle creatures subsist. In a family of parrots tho tonguo is provided at its ajiex with a brush of some 250 to 300 hair-like processes. In the parrots, the tonguo is thick and fleshy, devoid of horny barbs or papillm, and is even suspected to possess sense organs of taste. It is interesting to note that the parrots,tho form of whose tongues most closely resembles that of man, are able to imitate his language more clearly thau any other birds. Kitchen lupntlM.

A lady lately asked for the name of tlie “host all round vine.” It 1 h im possible to say which is tho best with out knowing what is expected of the vine; whether it is intended to trnin over a slender frame or to cover a J high fence; whether it is wanted for its flowers or simply for its foliage; whethor an annual or an evergreen is preferred. For all gcnoral purposes I know of nothing superior to tho white passion vine, Constance Elliott, It will lend itself to all uses, meekly trailing over 11 low frame or quickly mounting ft wall if given anything in the way of support. If neglected it will crawl over the ground and bloom in appar¬ ent contentment. If cared for it will soon shade a large veranda, Sovcral years ago my first viuo, a tiny scrap of a plant, small enough to bo covered with a pint can, was bought and planted out in tho spring, Within a few months it covered a frame twelvo feet high and fifteen wide, making a | dense shade for a south porch, This I vino is hardy everywhere and an evor ! green except in very cold climates. It has one peculiarity appeciated by all housewives, and which makes it vtilua ble as a climber for tho porch—it is never attacked by insects of any kind. The greatest objection to most vines around tho houso is that they harbor spiders, caterpillas and other insects. I have often been obligod to remove pretty vines on this account. But on a white passion flower shading our long southern “gallery” for several years none of these troublesome pests ever appeared. ^ho flowers are largo, creamy white of beautiful form and delicate frag¬ rance, appearing in profusion during the spring and summer. Like all robust growers it should have a largo space by itself. No rose, no shrub of moderate growth can thrive in close proximity to any strong growing plant, which drinks the mois¬ ture arid absorbs all the richness from the soil. But for a place where there is plenty of “foot room” nothing in the ola hardy , 1 flowering 1 , climber , 1 way surpasses this passion vine.—Detroit | Free Press. I Rubber Ball in Fire Nozzle. Charles V. Pollock, a resident of Des Moines, Iowa, made a discovery about three years ago, while experi¬ menting with a garden hose. Ho found that a rubber ball, if placed loosely in a bell-shaped nozzle, would divert a stream of water into an auto matically moving wave of spray. He found a practical use for tho discovery, and has applied it to the ordinary lire j nozzle. The device is an exceedingly simple one. It consists of tho attachment of a bell-shaped funnel inclosing a rub¬ ber ball to tho ordinary nozzles which are used in extinguishing fires. A cock which is fitted to the nozzle can be made . to , switch the stream of , water from the funnel or from the norule at the pleasure of the operator.
