A~It took two dogs to exhibit the hu-

w 1t took two dogs to exhibit the hu-
name sagacity about to be related. The
little son Gage 5 years) of William A.
Smith, of Lexington, Mo, wandered
lately away from home. Itmay be Of no
consequence, only we like to give all the
particulars, that the vagrant cherub had
on when he deserted the paternal rancho,
'sa dark wooden coat, and dark jean trow-
sers, patched on the knees" of course
One of the dogs was black, and the other
dark yeliow-but that's neither here nor
there. Well, they searched for that cLild !;
they advertised him; and at last they
found him in the woods. Will it be be-
lieved that these black and yellow dogs
had actually made a warm bed of leaves
for that little ooy,fve years of age in jean
trousers patched on the knees9 But
that's nothing to the statement that these
canine succorers, knowing that the little
man must be hungry, had caughta rabbit
for him, and that when found the young
gentleman was busily filling himself with
raw rabbit meat2 We don't say that we
believe this story but we are free to say
that we should ike to.

Write, Wright, Rite, Right.

A school Superintendent gave to o
teacher the following sentence to write ::
A cynic by the name. of Wright, in
Wrightville, Wright County, out West,
recently writing on woman's rights, said,
THAT it is so seldom. that women do
write what is right concerning their
rites, that it is no more than right that
when they do write what is right of each
rite, men should willingly acknowledge
that it is right" Now if Mr.. Wright
is not right, then he has no right to
write the above; and it would be better
for him to work at his trade, as every
wheelwright should do.

w Senator Jones, Of Nevada, tells
the following incident in the career of a
queer character Of the name of Poke

ry appeared in town with black eye, a
swollen nose, and lacerated garments

about it.

mind that, for Billy was my partner, you
see, and had right to his views. Then
we differed on ablution. Billy abluted
before breakfast, and said was a dirty
