are both buffers, yet sheep has to run
few steps backward before he can butt,
while the goat has to raise himself on
his hind legs to execute the same move

THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE FLEA

This is the tale of the philosopher and
the flea:
l. The former, having been bitten by
the latter, seized and was about to dis
patch his foe, when he reflected that the
little insect had only acted from instinct,
and was not to be blamed. Accordingly
he deposited the flea ON the back of q
passing dog. So .s. 5.f ...a.

and she was very fond of the pretty ami
nal. On his return to the house his
mistress took him upon herlap to caress
him, and the flea embraced his epportu-
nifty to change his inhabit. s7s 6.
3. The flea, having in. the course Of the
night engaged in active business opera
tions, awakened the lady. Her husband
was sleeping peacefully beside her, and
in the silence of the chamber she heard

A. As soon as it was day, the outraged
wife hurried to the house of her rival,
and told the rivals husband of the big,
big discovery she had made. He,
being a man of decision, at once called
out the destroyer of his households peace
and ran him through.
| 5. The widow, when her husband was
taken home to her upon the medium of
a shutter, was so terribly smitten with
remorse that she precipitated herself
from the fourth-story window.
6. The other lady convinced her hus-
band that he had wronged her by enter
tanning any suspicious as to her fidelity,
and, becoming reconciled with him,
seized an early opportunity of poisoning
him.

country mad never heard Of extenuat-
