The Unfortunate Fate of Nern-Didn't Know
His Masters Step.

From the San Antonio Herald.
About a week ago we heard one of
our leading citizens Dragging about his
watch dog. He went on to say that
Nero was SPLENDID watch dog that
he would never even growl at a child,
and at night he would tear anybody to
pieces he found about the premises.
"Ain't you afraid" we asked, ''that
he will bite you some night when
You come home late g
''Not bit Of it; he is..too intelligent.
He knows my step as soon as put my
foot on the gallery. Why, wouldn't
$500 for that. He is the most relia.
BILE biting dog in San Antonia.''
About three days after the forego.
ing conversation took place, one morn
ing early We met q policeman leading
this identical dog into the suburbs.
"What are you doing with Major
Jones's dog!'' we wanted to know.
''He gave him to me to take him out
and shoot him."
'What for e. we asked in amaze
ment.
"Because he tackled the Major last
right on his coming home, and bit him
in thirteen places; he would not be
down town for a week."
''But I heard the Major say that dog
was intelligent that he knew his step,
and wouldn't bite him no way he
could fix it; that he wouldn't take $500
for the animal.''
"The dog amt to blame for it, -
SAID the policeman, gazing sadly at
poor Nero, sits the Majors own
fault
"How 50 60 we inquired.
"Well," responded the policeman,
slowly, "the dog did know his step
and never even growled at him before,
but last night, for the first time since
he mas had the dog, the Major came
home three hours earlier than usual,
and perfectly sober, and somehow his
step was different from what the dog
was used to; he didn't tangle up his
legs as much as common, and the dog
was fooled by it, took him for a per-
feet stranger, and bounced him. The
dog amt to blame; he missed the
smell of whisky, he didn't hear the
Major whoop and cuss and fall down
in the cellar as he always does when
he comes home, so Nero kept on bite
the Major in fresh places until the
family interfered.'
"Come on, Nero!'' and the sad fu-
neral cortege resumed the line of
march for the brush.

Even Nurse Stark, a high authority on
all points of church controversy, never
succeeded in placing its meaning quite
beyond all question. But Nurse Stark
had special Sunday frame of mind
which discouraged close questioning,
and on that day of the week she was
exceptionally short and sharp in her
replies. She baffled our interrogato-
ries by pointing out to us that there
was nothing so unbecoming as a tend
ency to ask questions, which seemed
to us little inconsistent when we con.
sidered the inquisitive character of
her share in the catechism.

That rugged boy never looked so hot

appearance of restless decorum pre-
sented by Christy minstrel 'sBones''

service in laying the foundations of a

SAVING SEED CORN - The expert
ence of the past, has taught farmers a
lesson that they do not always heed
the importance of saving seed corn
early in the fall, and protecting it
from influences which destroy its ger
minating qualities. How few there
are, sufficiently particular in this re-
spect; often they risk a whole crop Of
corn upon the neglect of the outlay Of
a single days labor in saving the seed.
Poor seed may germinate and grow
under favorable circumstances, but for
a steady and vigorous growth in all
conditions, from the time it was plant
ed, the seed must be Of the best quality.
1t is a dangerous experiment in a
season like the present one, to leave
the seed corn to dry upon the stalk,
after the blades have been bitten by
frosts. 1t can in this case neither
grow nor ripen, but must dry out. If
the drying process is not steady and
rapid, the terminating qualities be-
come impaired and cannot be relied
upon for seed. The finest, largest,
and best ripened ears should be Sc
lected, tied into pairs by a few husks
left for the purpose, and hung in the
sun long enough to become dry, un-
less exposed to sufficient degree of
artificial heat. This latter plan would
be a good one;. an abundance of
smoke would form coating for the
kernels and make less susceptible to
climatic influence. If farmers will
pursue this plan they will be a thou
