' ... — X _•-? SOME FRENCH MAXIMS. A book of notes and impressions which does not. eoiUain contradictory ideas' Is not a sincere work. Morai thoughts improve nobody, not even the person who writes them. To talk loudly and firmly ts to use the argument of fools. To translate a book is to undress ideas. Lack of logic is one of the conditions of charm. Martyrs lack irony, and this is an unpardonable fault, because without irony the world would be similar to a forest without birds. Irony is the gayety of reflecton and the jcy of wisdom. —French Folly in Maxlms.--~H. I*. Du Bois. . ■ ;.. <• ' ■ T ", ■ ■ ....' ' ■ . — -5 . . ®

' POOR DOROTHY TRUE,- ' . k .’ Poor little, bored little Dorothy Tino! K A «ud little tzaldeii with nothing to.do. There’* a room to be dusted, a bed to be made, And the eggs to be found which the bantam bus laid. There’* * wee little boy, In the Burner, near. Who'a sobbing and crying with no one to Ihmit But poor little, bored little Dorothy True Still slta and laments that she’s nothing to do! —Margaret Seymour Uni! In St. Nicholas. MADEMOISELLE’S POODLE. She was shrieking for help on the top step of a flight leading to the river by the Pont Royal. Auguste Faubert ran to her assistance. “Mademoiselle is in difficulty?” he Inquired. “My dog! My little poodle!” she replied breathlessly. “See! he is in the water; he is not streag; he will drown. In mercy, monsieur, rescue my little poodle!” Faubert fan down the flight. The tide washed gently over a lower step, where stood the wretched cur, not ankle deep in water, barking aimlessly but with the zest of knowledge. Mademoiselle’s terror was not lest on him. Faubert carried him aloft, where mademoiselle wept tears of gratitude over rescuer and rescued. Then another dilemma arose. She was arrayed falre une promenade. The poodle's wet feet would soil her frock did she carry him; did she, on the ether hand, request him to follow afoot he would but seek the water again. “I will accompany raudemoiselle and carry the dog,” suggested Faubert. “But no, monsieur,” declared she. “He will ruin your beautiful coat” Faubert smiled. “It is of no matter, mademoiselle. There are other coats in the shops—voyez!” , The argument prevailed. They walked back together. But although there was strict truth in his remarks anent other coats in the shops, there was less in the application of it. When he arrived at his room (au sixleme) he ruefully surveyed the damaged garment; nor could all his economic arts restore the gloss on the parted strands where poodle’s resting claws had dug for a foothold. Arrived at that conclusion he counted his wealth —three francs fifty. And Marie and her father occupied a suite of rooms commodious enough for ten persons. Helas! 4 The following day he received a packet;' It contained a diamond stud and a card of invitation. He scanned the card, and examined the diamond with wonder and perplexity. The gift was excessive, out of all proportion to the service rendered; the Invitation to dinner was awkward; he possessed no drees clothes! But he was flattered. Marie was in love with him; hence the diamond stud. She was also wealthy; the gift proved it. He was an.artist, unknown nor a budding genius at that; his clothes, his environment pointed to it. He blessed that poodle! Yet his troubles had begun. He owned a magnificent'stud, held an invitation to dine, had but to extend his heart and hand to take a wealthy bride; bitt he had no dress suit He was a man of resources. He borrowed ten francs from the concierge, hired a dress suit for the evening, and_ went to dinner —diamond stud and all. He was a success, that is. the dinner and Marie, and her father radiated his own geniality, and he was happy. After dinner, in the little drawing room, Marie invited him to join her in the Bols'the following afternoon. Faubert hesitated. “To ride, maiiemcisclle, or to drive?” “To ride,” was the prompt reply. Faubert’s troubles were following him. “I—l have no horse,” he. faltered. “Oh! I ineq.pt on a bicycle,” she corrected. “It is the thing. Surely you can ride a machine, monsieur; everybody does.”* " He promised. Certainly he hadn’t a machine, but one could be hired, and The Mont-de-Pic-te was three miles distant from his sixth “floor, but he went there the next morning in preference to the nearest branches of the great pawnbroking establishment, they charged lower interest and lent higher sums. When he emerged from its door he had . temporarily exchanged his beautiful diamond pin ’for 100 francs and a reconnaissance. He returned the dress suit and hired a pneumatic safety and a cycling costume. Ma«fie called for him in her coupe? was attired in a chic but useful coat, and knickerbockers, and her bicycle rested beside her. They drove to the Bois, where they mounted their machines and found the broad Alie de la Marguerite pleasant riding How he blessed that poodle! The cascades did not drown their laughter, but the lakes suggested to Marie The enjoyment of a picnic by the river. Then Faubert could have groaned. He had no boating flannels. “Will you come, Auguste?” she asked. “Os course, Marie,” he replied. “It will be very jolly," she added. “If you* are ■ there —ah. oui!” he replied. She blushed. ’ Two days later Faubert called at Marie’s house and Left two little pictures of his own painting. She averred they were “gems.V He was formally invited to a picnic the‘following day. He went home and counted the remnants. Cabs, coffee, chocolates, and ices told their tale. In three days he had dissolved his diamond stud. However, boating flannels and their accessories could be had with his remaining francs and he hired them. They steamed -a yacht down to St. Cloud, went lunched, then dipersed a plaipir. It was the crowning joy of Faubert’s acquaintance with Marie. And the little poodle was there, too. How he loved that poodle! a -And Marie, how he loVed her! Oh! the joy of It! But there was but one though® to clou 1 - his ’mpplnws. S ’>■ 4 ’ ' ■' '■?* :' •

On their way back his host Invited him to the opera, Faubert turned sick. He had no dress clothes, and, worse than that, his diamond stud was at the Mont-de-Piete, the reconnaissance (the ticket) •ven then reclining in his pocket, and, worse than all, he had no money to redeem the pledge. His hand mechanically sought his ticket. A burning heat flushed over him. succeeded quickly by an Icy shudder. He withdrew from his pocket a bundle of papers. “Dieu!” he exclaimed. “Have I lost it?” He was leaning against the taffrail, Mario and her dog came up behind. "Lost what?" she inquired, solicitously. Frantic with fear lMW;he should behold and recoifinze flit ticket, he shuffled the papffs together to return them to bls pocket, when a puff of wind threatened his straw hat. He tried to save It. The f blicsome wind recognized its opportunity, With a merry swoop it came, caught bis ha* and papers in one rollicking ..wreath and scattered them. It was aAnomant-of despair. ,Mark. rescued his hat, others spouted the paper: -all but one. That bcact' poodle was careering round the dec', in mimic imitation of the wind, wit:: the pawn ticket-in bls mouth. How Faubert blessed that cur! His friends went in pursuit. Fan Bert's wits were-alert. “I pray you not to trouble, messieurs,” he cried. “It is but a biafi’i scrap of paper of no value whatever.’ They desisted. Faubert engaged them in conversation witK one eye or the dog and the other on Marie, sit ting at the further end of the boat alone. So passed the minutes —nearly twen ty. Then the dog, weary of his toy. trotted serenely to his mistress and presented it to her. Faubert was looking. She took it. It was torn and crumpled. She smoothed It lovingly with her fingers, then —thrust it suddenly into her pocket. At the first opportunity, In a floor of broken words. Faubert confess©' his audacity, foolishness —ah, yes. dis honesty. Marie understood, and twe little diamond tears, prettier than the pledged jewel, twinkled in her eyes and shook with laughter. And Faubert had contrived to be come a fashionable painter and take Marie to wife before her father knew a word about the difficulties of his son In-law’s courtship.—Good Company. J Uterary and M»»«ic*l* His hair was long and flowing and It would have been difficult to say whether he was a poet or a musician, at first blush. After blushing several times, however, the casual observer would have about concluded from the air about him that he was a musician. Somet.ow, the air is more distinctly defined in music than it is in poetry, anyhow. The young woman in the case war clearly literary. Her hair was in a slump, and her cuffs looked as if they ought to have the hose turned or: them. “Have you,” she asked after they had been talking some time, “have you read ’Trilby?’ ” ' “I beg your pardon.” he replied, starting as if the name were not en1 tirely unfamiliar. “I said.” she repeated, “have you read‘Trilby?’” “Oh, ah. h’m.” he hesitated: “well, no, I haven't. You see, I have been so - very busy learning ‘Sweet Marie’ for my approaching recital that really 1 have not had time to read much recently.” And the conversation happily continued.—Detroit Free Press.
