For sev eral mornings the teacher allowed th. puppy to remain at Joe's feet uodtr the desk. Then there came a day when the small dog could cot be kept quiet, but frisked about, to the delight of the school and the dismay of the teacher. Joe." she said Cnnly, you must take that dog out." Joe loo Led at her mournfully, bnt picked up the pup and. with Its ha ! against his cheek, started for the door. The boy's feelings were evidently hurt, but he said nothing until be reached the door; then, girtsg his teacher a re proachful look, with a pitying glance toward his dog. he said slowly, -An 1 he's earned for your Youth's Com panlon.

Everybody, or nearly everybody, has heard of the novel of -Frankenstein." Uiough It Is not prolable that many persons read It nowadays. There are md many allusions to It In our litera ture, however, that -one absorbs some sort of a dot ion of It so that he can not help knowing that It Is a weird and ghastly story about a monster, but whetber or not Frankenstein Is the monster even well Informed people do net always know showing that they i.evcr read tbe story. Sometimes we bear allusions to -Frankenstein's monster," as in one of ; CharleVS uuiner's orations, where be rwits of the -soulless monster of .Frankenstein, the wri-tched creation 'of mortal science without God." and tnmilmiK the reference Is to Frank enstein only, as If he were the mon stcr. ,Of ourse Sumner, who was very particular In hi use of figures of speech, was right, u hen Mrs. Deiana, in her n? novel of -Sidney." makes i Major Leo say that -Christianity Is I Frankenstein." he nuflVrs the major I to talk nou sense. Tbe story of this weird novel and the circumstances under which It came to be written are decidedly Interesting and mar be told In a few words. The facts are as follows: In IS10 Mary Godwin, afterward Mrs. Shelley, eloped with Shelley, and they took :p their residence near, Ge neva, in Switzerland. They had Lord Brron for o nelchbor. and the three passed much time together. Thtlr con versation frequently ran on the occult and the mywtcrlous. and Byron one day proposed that each should write a ghost story. All agreed and went to work, but it was not long before the two poets gave It up as a hopeless task, Thv could wrlre Doetry. but they could not write stories. Mary persevered and completed ber tale In the spring of 1S17. When By ron and Shelley beard It read, they were surprised and delighted. It was bound to be the novel of the century! The nameof It was "Frankenstein; or, Tbe Modern Prometheus. It was Im mediately sent to London for publica tion and met with a great success. Frankenstein Is a Swiss youth, a student at the University of Ingol- stadt. deeply Interested In the study of chemistry and natural philosophy. He resolves to penetrate the mysteries of life and death and wrest from nature the secret of creation. After prolong ed study he succeeds and discovers how to Impart movement and anima tion to lifeless matter. He then resolves to mold a colossal man. making him beautiful In form and feature and Imbue him with life. He carries on bis work In a studio far from tbe habitations of man, labors long and secretly, and at last the work Is completed. There In the great room lies the form and semblance of a hu man being, perfect In all his propor tions. Frankenstein relates. the story: -It was on a dready night In Novem ber that I beheld the accomplishment of my tolls. W'ith an anxiety that al most amounted to agony I collected the Instruments of life around me that I might Infuse a spark of being Into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. "It was already. 1 o'clock In the morning. The rain pattered dismally against the window panes, and my candle was nearly burned out, when, by the glimmer of tbe half extinguish ed light. I saw tbe dull yellow eye of the creature open. It breathed bard, and a convulsive motion agitated Its limbs." Slowly the Immense creature arose, and the artist, frightened at bis own work, fled away. Then be returns to find bis creation possessed of life and every attribute of humanity except a 6ouL Nowhere can it find human sym pathy. It Is out of harmony with aU things about It, and after searching the world In pursuit of happiness It returns again to Frankenstein and de mands that be make a companion with whom It can live In sympathy and love. Frankenstein declines, and thence forth the monster pursues him with hatred and revenge. It slays his broth ers and sister, bis frltpd and his bride. It follows him to BBssia, to Siberia and Info the Arctic ocean, and there creature and artist perish together. It Is a most uncanny story to read o nights. Sir Walter Scott reviewed the novel In The Quarterly, but while admitting. Ua power confessed be did not like It "Our taste rnd our Judgment revolt at this kind of writing." All the critics irryd as to Its daring originality. Good Strategist. John." said Mrs. Thursby, "you were saying yesterday that you were In financial trouble, 1 believe."

He simply gets down from his seat and, taking the butt end of his whip, beats the horse over the head until he clam bers to bis feet: then, after administer ing a couple of kicks from a No. 13 hobnailed boot, be mounts his box and drives along. The tram horses are constantly bela bored with a whip and sworn at In the argot of Paris, and the result, strange as It may seem, is that It takes you longer to go a mile In a fiacre in Paris with the horses being whipped all the time' than It does the same distance In London when not once during the drive will the animal feel the touch of the lash.
