An Arkansas Cow.

The yield of milk from Northern dairy
COWS is incredible TO the people in re-
gious where the cattle are raised mostly
for beef and hides.
Judge Grant was in Little Rock,
Arkansas. in attendance on the United
States Court. Que morning he saw a
farmer with a slouch hat and genuine
tutteruut suit, trying 20 sell a cow in
the market thore. 1t was large, long
horned animal, and the planter was in
formed by imam that the cow would give
four quarts Of milk day, if fed well.
Up stepped the Judge. what do
you ask for that cows p
About $50. She'll give 4 quarts of
milk, if you feed her WELL
Said the Judge: Il have cows on my
farm, not much more than half as big as
your COW, which give twenty-five quarts
Of milk day
The planter eyed the Judge sharply
for .1oment rs if trying to remember
whether he had ever seen him before or
not, and then asked: Stranger, where
do you live q
My home is in Iowa.
'Yes, stranger, I don't doubt it. There

A SONG OF THE YEAR.

With roar of trumpet and hugle blast,
A giant comes from the North
With snow white pennons and glistenln9
spears,
To battle he marches forth.
Dire havoc he works with his icy breath,
And the green earth pales with fear
While his heralds shout, "Long live the
king
King Winter, who rules the year
But hark from the Fast and West he hears
A murmur of ripping rills;
And q helmcted warrior and blue-eyed
maid
Come speeding over the hills.
Away flies Winter the broken ranks
Of his army no help can bring;
And thesleeping beauty,by Wintercharmed,
Are walked by the kiss of Spring!
With a gentle rustic the grasses wave,
AS the soft wind from the South
Breathes over the meadow q greeting sweet
From baby's rosy mouth.
But even fair Summer grows old; and today
The forests are doffiing their green,
And fiinging out banners of scarlet and gold
In honor of Autumn. their queen!

A Noble Dane.

1t was during the wars that ragged
from 1862 to 1860 between Frederick
III. of Denmark and Charles Gustavus
of Sweden, that after battle, in which
the victory had remained with the Danes
a stout burgher Of Flensborg was about
to refresh himself, before retiring to have
his wounds dressed, with draught from
a wooden bottle, when an imploring cry
from a wounded Swede, lying on the
field, made him turn round, and saying,
"Thy need is greater thar mine," he
kueeled down by the fallen enemy to
pour the water into his mouth. His
requital was u pistol shot in the shoul~
der from the treachorous Swede. "Ras-
cal" he said, 81 would have befriended
you, and you would murder me in
return. Now will I punish you. l
meant to have given you all of it, but
now you shall only have half" And
drinking half himself, he gave the rest
to the Swedc.
The king, hearing the story, sent for
tho burgher, and asked him how he.
came to spare the life of such rascal.
"Sire." said the honest burgher, II
could never kill wounded enemy"
Thou deservest to be NOBLE" the
king said, and created him one imme-
diately. giving him for armorial bear
iugs wooden bottle pierced with an
arrow.

It was cold dark night night in
winter. The wind blew, and the snow
was whirled iuriously about, seeking to
hide itself beneath cloaks and hoods,
and in the very hair of those who were
out. A distinguished lecturer was to
speak, and notwithstanding the storm
the villagers very generally ventured
to hear him.
Willrm Annesley buttoned up to
his chin in his thick ovefcoat, ae-
companied his mother. 1t was dlthcult
to walk through the fallen snow against
the piercing wind, and William said to
his mother:
"Couldn't you walk easier if you took
my ?" %,
"Perhaps I could" his mother replied,
as she put her arm through his and
drew up as close as possible to him.
Together they breasted the storm--the
mother and the boy who had once been
carried in her arms, but who had grown
up so tall that she could lean on him.
They had not walked very far before ne
said
81 am very proud to night, mother"
"Pround that you can take care OF
me ?" she said to him with heart
gushing with tenderness.
This is the first time you have
leaned 1pon me-" said the happy boy.
There will be few hours in that
child's life of more exalted pleasure than
he enjoyed that evening, even it he
should live to old age, and should in
his manhood, lovingly provide for her,
who, in mis- helpless infancy, watched
over him.

Singular Fascination.

An English paper relates the follow
ing unaccountable occurrence 'One Of
the most singular instances in connec-
tion with material things, exists in the
case of young man, who, not very long
ago, visited large iron mandatory.
He stood opposite large hammer, and
n natched with great interest its perfectly
regular strokes. At first it was beating
imlaensc Jumps of crimson metal into
thick black sheets; but the supply be.
coming exhausted, at length it only de,
scended on the polished anvil. Still
the young man gazed intently on its
motion, then he followed its strokes
with a corresponding motion of his
head; then his left arm moved on the
same tune, and finally, he deliberately
placed his fist upon the anvil, and in a
second it was smitten to jelly.
The only explanation he could afford
was, that he felt an impulse to do it;
that he knew he should be disabled;
that ho saw all the Consequences in a
misty manner, but he still felt the pow
er within above sense and reason-a
morbid Impulse, in fact, to which he
succumbed and by which he lost q good
right hand.

Welcoming an Ex-Confederate.

After the meeting, Tuesday night, of
George B. Mead, Post No. 3S, Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, an inter
esting incident occurred. One Of the
members had made the acquaintance OF
poor Confederate soldier, and invited
him to the meeting. The long hair
and slouched hat Of the SOutherner soon
attracted much attention from mon who
we'll remembered these pecularities.
Many whispered inquiries were made,
but when tho beer and pipes went
ronnd, it was noticed that the ex>rebel
was kept bountifully supplied. Finally
the commander announced that he un-
dcrstood there was broth her soldier in
the audience-a brother soldier, how
ever, who had fought on the other side
and from whom a few remarks would
be acceptable. The statement was re-
ceived with applaus, and when it ceased
the astonished soldier made few re-
marks to the effect that if the trou-
bles resulting from the war had
been left to those who did tho
fighting all sectional aninosities would
have been buried by this time, and the
entire country in more tlourlshlng
condition.
At the conclusion of this little speech
it was proposed that the lone Confeder-
ate soldier be welcomed with the Grand
Army cheer "a compliment never ten
dered except to the most distinguished
gnest. The cheer was given with great
enthusiasm. Immediately after this
the "Liberty of the floor" was accorded
by Commander Finley to the comrades
of the post, and then ensued 4 scene
which almost battles description. A
grand fraternal rush was made for the
ex.rebel. His hand was shaken, tickets
10 contemplated excursions, members
business and personal cards, and gen.
eral invitations without number were
thrust upon him ; and he was placed
IN the ranks, behind the Philadelphia
guests, and escorted with milltrry
bonors and martial music, 10 Broadway,
near which thoroughfare lay his tenn
porary home. Not member present,
except the acquaintance of the soldier,
was aware that he would attend.-Nc'c

Changing From King to Subject.

According to an Arabian paper, Al
JanaiJ, the abdication of King John of
Abyssinia, was an act in keeping with
the striking romance Of his character
and career. Menelek H., who claimed
to be the riShtful heir to the crown by
virtue of his descent from the Queen of
Sheba, had by his pretensious excited
the ire of King John, who marched
against him, and, entering the terrific
ries of Shoa, prepared to attack Meuelek
in his capital, Aukobec. A band Of
priests, however, met the advancing
king, and rebuking him for levying war
against his rightful sovereign, SUM-
moned him to abandon his sucriligious
enterprise and recognize Menelek. King
John was so affected by their words that,
balting his troops, he entered the city
and in the sight of his army and the
population laid off his crown and royal
robes and paid homage to N1eneIek, who
embraced him and conferred new digni-
ties upon him, besides confirming him
in his original p:incedom of Kasa. This
story comes in very roundabout way,
but is quito likely to be true.

THE NEW POPE.

Cardinal Giarchi Pecci, the newl,
elected successor of the late Piu

March :, 1910, and is now nearly 6(
years Of age. The new Pope is des
cribed as tall man, with a fine head
high forehead narrowing at the TEN
pies, long face and straight features
He has large mouth and prominent
chin, cheerful open countenance anu
large well shaped ears. His face re-
minds one Of Consuloi, renowned
minister of Pins VII. He has a fine
sonorous voice, great dignity, ever
austerity Of manners in public life
but privately is affectionate unassum.
ing sociable and witty. AS Gamer
lengo he has been the head of that
party which, without formally re-
nouncing the righL of the Holy See,
acknowledges the wisdom of the
DEGREES of Providence, accepting
what he callsirrevocably accomplished
facts. The general opinion is that
for learning, tact, energy, dignity,
amiability, real moral worth and sin
cere piety, the sacred college could
not ind more deserving Pope than
Cardinal Pecci. Cardinal Pecci's
private life at all periods is above re.
proach. He has considerable literary
talent and has written poetry. He
never has had intercourse with the
tunctionaries of the present Italian
government, but is esteemed by them
all, and those with whom the neces-
sity of duty brings him into contact,
are perfectly charmed with him.
With American Catholics, Cardinal
Pecci will prove undoubte lly popu-
lar. 1t is generally understood that
his sympathies coincide with those of
Plus TX, whose actions and labors
greatly endeared him in the hearts of
his people in this country. The
new Pope will assume the name of
Leo XIII.
