THE RUNNING.
The six horses were soon in line, and as they
went OF at the tap Of the drum an Involuntary

keeping 1t gallantly to the home stretch: Here
everything put out, Hogan's sorrel mare racing
Up to the little bay passed her, and won the heat
by several lengths. No time kept, but put at
l:47X. The three horses last mentioned were
distanced and ruled out.
At the second heat the little bay mare was lame,

A MousE SroRy--A gentleman who

After slesping soundly for about three
hsurs, he again became conscious OF his
existence in this world Of transitory bliss,
but being still in somewhat dreamy state,
he had mo clear perception as to what
might disturb his disordersd imagination.
As he was thus lying. midway between
slcep and consciousness, hs heard some
thing going pt.ph pit upon tho table,
which closely aprroximated to the head OF
the bedstesd on which he was sleeping. He
listened moro attentively, and observed
very softly to himself:
"As live. this house is besct with those
wrctched mice. and there is one now gnaw
ing at something on the table"
SO saying. he slipped as noiselcssly out
OF bed as possible, and feeling for his boot,
took hold Of the toe part Of it, and the heel
upraised. very softly approached on tip
toe his intended victim.
When close enough to Be- within strik,

delight found the noise still there; he ther

The last thirty years of his life were
passed in quiet and comfort. He pre-
ferred living by himself, and always
had his own house, where he kept his
pipe and tobacco-pouch, and such things
rs were articles of comfort to him,
mostly such as he had from his resi-
dence with the Indians-not forgetting
rosary and a few religious pictures
which hung above his bed. He was
very neat in his person, clothes, and
housekeeping, and up to the day of his
death attended in summer to his tobac.
co plants and his cabbages. One of his
great desires was to see a railroad, and
when the first locomotive came scream
ing into the bottom near Kansas City
which was in full view of his house, hi
was nervous as a child until he visited
it. lie then expressed himself satisfied
saying he could "tell God he had seen ;
railroad" and never after expressed an!
curiosity on the subject.
Truly Kansas City could boast o
having the champion old man."-HaT

BOUND TO Do FULL Days WORK.
Mr.. NJ, of Oxford, don't object to hav.
ing hired man to do full days wok
or at least, SO we should judge from the
following story: A short time ago q
man went to his place for work. Mr.
NJ. set him blowing around forty
acre field. After he had plowed faith
fully all day, until the sun was about
half an hour high, he expressed his
opinion that it was about time to qui
work.
"Oh no." said Mr.. NJ, "you can pillow
around six or eight times more just a
we'll as not"
So the hired man plowed around si1
or eight times, then went to the house
took care of his team, MIXED ten cows
ate his supper and found ten o'clocl
staring him in the face from the OLE
time piece.
Said the hired man to Mrs. NJ, "Wher

He replied that he did. After beini
conducted to the bedroom, he said

want to do with the axe?"

BEEF TEA-ITs UsELEssNEss.-Many
persons believe that beef tea is very
nourishing, and is an excellent
strengthener for people of weak health.
This is a mistake. Some few practition-
ers and chemists have long been aware
of the fact, and now their view is con-
tirmed by DIR. Marcel. There is no
nourishment in beef tea. Mixed with
solid food, it imparts a relish winch
promotes digestion; and the best solid
that can be mixed Herewith is the beef
from which it was made, reduced to
powder. In two, at least, of the Lon.
don hospitals the mixing of powdered
beef with the best tea has long been
practiced; and there the patients gel
strong on beef tea diet. 1t is worth re-
membering, too, that the objections to
the use of beef tea apply equally to the
preparation described as extract o.
meat, with the further disadvantage
that the extract is always stale.-Chdm'
