Not Smiths Cow.

There is certain man In Waterford whom
we will call R., who Is quite man for practical
jokes. He pastures his COW together with sew
eral Of his netghbors, in pasture about half a
we will call Smith "a name perhaps familiar to
ally who lives about quarter Of mile below,
who also pastures his COW there. RS and
smiths COW resemble each other very much,
day last June about six O'Clock, r. went up and
got his cow, and it being rather early he let her
feed little in front Of the house Pretty soon
Smith came along and seeing, as he supposed
his COW standing in front of the house. he said
''Isn't that cow 1ntruding little, neighbor r 2
down and tell us what you think Of the cleo
tion." So Smith sat down and they talked quit
while, then he started to 60, but r. wouldn't
hear Of it, and made him talk on and so he kept
him until about dark. Pretty soon Smith
jumped up and said he guessed he must go, and
started driving the COW down the streaaasd hiI m
got her down few rods s s%ore sa IittIe at her
Ee hsT doWn e way
she again wheeled past him and came rushing
back to the house. Again he came back, pretty
mad this time, and by the help OF club and
some well-assorted profanity, got her consider
ably further toward home; but In an unguarded
home. This time Smith was in white heat
and as he reached the house almost In tears, R.,
who had been calmly watching his operations,
stopped him and said he had civil question to
you trying to do with my cow" Smith took in
the situation at glance, and handed out the
cigars, borrowed lantern, and went up to the
pasture after his own beast who had been pa

hours or more. II you want to see him get on

AN OTTER IN A WELL.-A week ago negro
went to draw bucket Of water from a well on
the premises Of Mr.. Leldensdorfer. at Caronde-
let. AS he leaned forward to empty the bucket
he naturally glanced downward into the well.
No sooner had he done so than he sprang back
in alright, and turning about incont1nently
fled. boy whom he passed called out, "What'5
the natter" 81 seen de debble," was the gasp
ing response as the af1r1ghted fellow kept on
his way. No explanation could be OBJ
tanned from him except that he firmly be-
l1eved he had seen the devil. People living
on the place kept watch of the well after that
and soon discovered the cause of his trep1-
dation. 1t was nothing more nor less than
an otter which has taken up its abode
there. Every night and. every morning it can
be seen. 1t will also appear frequently when
the bucket is let down to the water. How the
animal got there can only be cOnjectured.
Many years ago they used to be quite common
in the sink-holes near the city, but are very
rarely seen anywhere near here now. 1t evil
IDENTIFY did not get In from the top, as 1t seems
to be In no danger Of starving, though it could
not find food In the well, certainly. Mr.. Lei
densdorfer tried to catch it with q hook and
line baited with piece Of meat The animal
bit, but when he had hauled 1t out about ten
feet the hook broke, so great was the weight.
Since then it will not take q hook. Some think
that the well connects with one Of the nume-
rous underground channels which are so plentt-
full in the limestone under the city, and that
the animal came in that way. The wen is about
fifty feet deep.-[St. Louis Rep, 9th.

pretty Angelo Moreau first entered the COM

WHY NOT RRv1vE THE ORIGINAL OF ALL

the trescone the ancient dance OF the italian
mountains, which, to my eyes, is the great
grandmother of all the dances OF the world; the
first invented, from which all others, refined
and unref1ned, have originated. 1t savors of
the rudiments Of the dignifled cotilnon, the
graceful waltz, the wild mazurka, the bolster

The young men make no compliments to their
partners but seize them Sabine-rape fashion.

g1ddy velocity and buck-like jumps into the
thick of the surg1ng circles with a vigorous clan
and swirl of petticoats that only willing noun
tain limbs and nymphs are equal to. Soon the
excitement becomes contagious and the entire
meadow is q brilliant mass Of revolving and
swaying dancers, their bright colors flashing In
the sunlight and contrasting beautifully with
the dark greens of the FRS and the soft sWard
beneath their feet, which fly over It as fast and
noiselessly as so many Atalantas, keeping time
