satisfied with the price.

COunseling His Friends.

Political aspirants have odd ways
sometimes of fishing for a nominations,
but there is one way that has become
decided common arged by friends to
save the party, ETC. This reminds me
of an old farmer of Erie county, now
dead, but at one time one of the strong
est of Republicans. He had been hon
ored with party Offices in his own sec
ton, but had a longing desire to figure
as a county officer. Accordingly one
day he approached one of the leaders of
the party, and after little Introductory
talk about the crops and the weather,
the conversation soon drifted to the
subject of politics. Ibis gave the old
man his chance, and soon he remarked {:
"Do you know Mr.. -, my friends
have all been urging me for several
years to run for Sheriff. They say
ought to do it in the interest of the
party, but L don't know. Now, I'm get
ting to be rather an old man, but"
"Of course you don't want to run ?"
interrupted the other, with decided
twinkle in his eye.
"Well, now, l don't know. You see
my friends have been urging me SO
much that thought perhaps"
"Well, that isn't right" again inter
rupted the party leader. "Tll just go
and see your friends and tell them
they've got to put stop to that.

The Kind Horse.

A gentleman owned fine horse which
was very fond of him, and would come
from the pasture at the sound of his
voice and follow him about like dog.
AT one time, the horse become lame, and
was obliged to stay in his stable and
not be used for many weeks. During
this time, an old cat made her nest up
on the scaffold just above the horses
manger, and placed there her little
family of five kittens. She and the
horse got on nicely for some days. She
jumped down into his manger and went
OFT for food, and then came back and
leaped up to her kittens again. But
one morning she rolled off into the man
ger with her foot bleeding and badly
hurt, so that she could scarcely crawl;
but she managed to leap away on three
feet and get her breakfast. But, when
she came back, she was entirely unable
to get to her kittens; and what do you
think she did? She lay down at the
horses feet, and mewed and looked up
several times, till, ut last, pony, seem
ing to understand her wants, reached
down, took the cat in his teeth, and
tossed her up on the scaffold to her kit
tens, who, / doubt not, were glad
enough to see her. This was repeated
morning after morning. Kit would roll
oil into the manger, go ont and get her
breakfast, come back, and be tossed up
to her family by the kind horse, who
must have understood cat language and
been willing to listen to it.-WeSte1n

Fishing for Rats.

A novel mode of catching rats is thus
described in the american Anqler.
The writer says that person having
the patience of most fishermen can have
much sport in hooking the vermin. The
warehouse adjoining his place of bust
ness is infested by these "file-tails," and
our friend may be seen in the early
spring and late fall, on an occasional
evening just after dusk, seated at the
back window of his counting-room
Overlooking the yard of the warehouse),
with an ordinary rod in hand, strong
linen line, and spring hook, common
ly called "sockdolager, baited with a
lump of fresh beef, patiently waiting
for bite. 1t does not tarry long nor
does it consume itself in nibbles, but
with hungry snap the bait is seized
and the hooks of the sockdolager i'm
pale the rat, when the excitement COM
mences. A lusty rat is no mean antag-
onist at the end of plant pole and ten
feet of line, and his plunges, twistings
and straightaway dashes are more per-
picking to the angler than the leaps,
surges and sulkings of the gamy trout
or bass. The rat is generally landed
after seasonable sport and killed by a
blow from bludgeon. In this connec-
ton we may state that thousands of
small hooks are bought by sugar REIN
ers for rafting purposes. The hooks
are baited with small pieces of beef on
each, and then distributed about the
building. The rats swallow beef and
hook The first is digested. the latter
is not-death of course results. The
remedy is said to be infallible.

Quietly entering barber shop, the
stranger removed his hat and coat, and,
taking q card from his pocket, wrote on
it:
II want to get shaved"
A barber stepped forward, read the
card, and, pointing to q chair, said to
his brother artists:
deaf as a brass kettle, and dumb as
an OYSTER"
The man Strengthened himself out in
the chair, when his manipulation began
lathering his face.
"This deaf cuss has a cheek like O
stone WALL" he said, when general
laugh followed.
"Stick him with pin, and see if he is
entirely dumb" said another.
The victim remaining undisturbed
the following shots were fired at him
by the delighted tonsorial artists:
"He needs shampoo, his hair is dir.
tier than cess-pool."
"Shave him with a stool leg, DOM
spoil your razor on that stubble."
Gracious, what breath 1t smells
like Dutch band of music"
He ought to rent that nose for To-
connective headlight" etc.
While all these complimentary allu
sions were flying about him, the opera
ton of shaving was finished, and the
man arose, put on his coat, and ther
turning to the astonished barber, said
"How much for the shave and com
pliments?"
"I-I-I-I," gasped the astonished
man. "Oh, nothing-nothing. cal
again, excuse"-and, as the stranger left
the shop, the discounted BARRIERS swort
they would never believe in deaf anC
dumb man again until they had first
fired ten-pound cannon about his ears

A HUNTER has stumbled upon hith-
erto unknown lake near the headwa-
ters of Wise river, about sixty miles
sorth of Butte, Montana. It is high up
in the mountains, surrounded by deep
crags, and the water is frozen solid. The
hunter is convinced that it never thaws,
and says that in the center of this great
body of ice is large avalanche of snow
piled up to great height, which has
evidently slid down from the crags.
