Prairie Dogs.

They look very much like red squirrels,
with their ears cropped close as a hens,
and their tails cut off to three inches long.
They live III houses or holes in the ground,
and usually in f'towns," where large num-
bers are found
Each family has q house to itself; and
such houses! They dig holes in the ground
sometimes quite deep and very crooked,
and at the top they make mounds about the
size and 81 ape Of an inverted bushel bask-
ct, leaving funnel-shaped hole in the mid
die for the doorway. It is hard to get hold
Of them, for they always run to the mounds
at the first intimation of person approach
ing, and, if shot, they fall into the house
out of reach; but if not, they dive down in
a very amusing manner. Attimes they are
real playful and will chase each other
around for awhile, then set up ON their hind
legs and make a chuckling noise like laugh
ing, or stand on their hind feet and give
squeaking challenge for another race, and
off they go. have often stopped my oxen
and sat on the plow to watch them in their
antics, and always with increasing pleasure.
It took me some time to learn about their
ears, for they are hard to get acquainted
with. Sometimes | thought they had none;
at others that they did, but kept them laid
back like cross horse when was near.
But after awhile they seemed to lose their
fear, and would play all sorts of pranks

A Widows Witness.

It was told of old that the cackle of a
goose once saved Rome. Tt is now related
lthata swallow won a suit in Court away
down in Texas. A poor widow and her
daughter had a suit for damages before a
Court in Houston. The counsel for the
plaintiffs introduced in his pleadings the
fable Of the swallow that built her nest and
reared her young under the caves Of 4 tenn
pie Of justice. The lawyer enlarged npon
the swallows trust III the protection Of her
home the place afforded, and very aptly
made the application to the case before the
Court. When the counsel was about fin
ishing tho illustration, d swallow flew into
the court room and alighted on the Judges
desk. Il then hoped away and found rest
for the sole Of its foot on the jury box. In
it's circuit Of the court room it halted d
while on a pile Of law books, then hoyered
q moment over the heads of the plaintiffs,
aud flew out Of the window and away.
The counsel concluded by saying. 4 Be-
hold the w:tnessl' And as the witness
could not Be called back BY the opposing
counsel, il,e case was given to the jury pret-

Naming the Baby A Tennessee Fami-

A paying hoax was played few days
since. says a Clarksyille correspondent of
the Louisville Coarier-Jourasal, upon the
family relatives Of one of our young
married men who had the good fortune, or
bad fortune (whiehever way the reader re-
constraes it }, of having an addition to his

bearing upon its back this line;
G-has q new baby at his house nam

In few days letters Of congratulations
began to pour in. A gentleman from your

beautiful silver cup accompanied by these
words: 81 thank you for tbs honor that
my finances will not permit me to accept

Another writing from pnlncah feels sshigh-

Mark Twain's Last.

Mr. Samuel L. Clemens, better known as
Mark Twain, made a little speech at a
dinner enjoyed by some insurance men in
Hartford the other night The Courant
thus reports him:
GENTLEMEN:-l am glad indeed to assist
in welcoming the distinguished guest of
this occasion to a city whose fame as an
insurance centre has extended to all lands
and given us the name of being quadruple
band of brothers working sweetly hand in
hand--the Colts Arms Company making
the destruction of our race easy and con-
yenient, our life insurance citizens paving
for the victims when they pass away, Mr..
PATTERSON perpetuating their memory with
his stately monuments, and our fire insur-
ance comrades taking care of their hereafter.
am glad to assist in welcoming our guest
first, because he is an Englishman, and |
owe heavy debt of hospitality to certain
of his fellow-countrymen and secondly,
because he IS in sympathy with insurance,
and has been The means of making MANY
other men cast their sympathies in the
same direction. Certainly there is no nobler
field for human effort than the insurance
line OF business-especially accident insur-
ance. Ever since have been director in
an accident insurance company have felt
that am better man. Life has seemed
more precious. Accidents have assumed a
kindlier aspect Distressing special provi-
dences have lost half their horror. | look
upon cripple, now, with affectionate inter-
est-as an advertisement. I do not seem
to care for poetry any more. do not care
for politics; even agriculture does not excite
me. But to NE, now, there is charm
about railway collision that is unspeak-
able. There is nothing more benefcent
than accident insurance. | have seen an
entire family lifted out of poverty and into
affiuence by the simple boon of a broken
leg. | have had people come to me on
crutches, with tears in their eyes, to bless
this benefcent institution. In all my ex-
perience of life I have seen nothing SO
seraphic as the look that comes into
1IGSulg IudE lace witch lie 1e6lS
into his vest pocket with his remaining
hand and finds his accident ticket all right.
And have seen nothing SO sad as the look
that came into anothers splintered customers
face when he found he couldn't collect on
wooden leg. I will remark here, by way of
an advertisement, that that noble charity
is an institution which is peculiarly to be
depended upon. A man is bound to pros
per who gives it lis custom. No man can
take out policy in it and not get crippled
before the year is out. Now there was one
INDECENT man who had been disappointed
so often with other companies that he had
grown disheartened; his appetite left him;
he ceased to smile-said life was but a
WEAKNESS. Three weeks ago got him to
insure with us, and now he is the brightest,

a Remarkable Masonic Incident.
From the Philadelph ia Age.

FROM Inc Phiadc1phla ii Age
The first Masonic funeral that ever oc-
CURED in California took place in 1949, and
was performed over brother found drown
ed in the Bay of San Francisco. An &C
count of the ceremonies states that on the
body of the deceased was found silver
mark of a Mason upon which were engraved
the initials of his name. A little further
investigation revealed to the beholder the
most singular exhibition of Masonic en-
blems that was ever drawn by the ingenui-
ty of man upon the human skin. There is
nothing in the history or traditions of Ma
sonry equal to it. Beautifully dotted on
his left arm, in red and blue ink, which
time could not effaee, appeared all the en-
blems of the entire apprenticeship. There
was the Holy Bible, square and compass,
the 24-inch gauge and. common gavel.
There was also the Masonic Pavement,
representing the ground floor of King Solo
mons temple, the indented tessel which
surrounds it, and the blazing star in the
centre. On his right arm, and artistically
executed in the same indelible liquid, were
the emblems petaining to the fellowship's
degree, viz: The square, the level and the
plumb. There were also five columns rep
resenting the five orders of architecture
the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and
Composite.
In removing the garments from his body,
the trowel presented itself, with all the
other tools of Operative Masonry. Over
his heart was the pot of incense. On other
parts of his body was the beehive, the
book of Constitutions, guarded by the TY-
ler's sword, pointing to naked heart; the
All-Seeing eye, the anchor and ark, the
hour-glass, the scythe, the forty-seventh
problem of Euclid, the sun, moon, stars
and comets; the three steps which are en-
blematical of youth, manhood and age,
Admirably executed was the weeping vir-
gin, reclining On a broken column, upon
which lay the Book of Constitutions. In
her right hand she held the pot of incense,
the Masonic emblem Of pure heart, and
in her left hand sprig of acacia, the en-
blem of the Immortality of the soul.
Immediately behind her stood winged
Time, with his scythe by his side, which
cuts the brittle thread of life, and the hour
glass at his feet, which is ever reminding
us that our lives are whitening away. The
Withered and attenuated fingers of the De-
stroyer were placed amid the Ionp and flow
ing ringlets Of the disconsolate mourper.
Thus were striking emblems of mortality
and immortality blended in one pictorial
representation.
1t was spectacle such as Masons never
saw before, and in all probability such as
the fraternity will never witness again.
The brothers name was never known.
