The farmers of Hunterdon and
Somerset counties, New Jersey, are
said to use goats to protect their
sheep from dogs. Two goats can
drive away dozen dogs, and two
are about all each farmer put in with
his sheep. As soon as a dog enters
the field at night the goats attack
him, and their butting propensities
are too much for the canine, who
soon finds himself rolling over and
over. A few repetitions of this treat
ment causes the dog to quit the field,
limping and yelling. Formerly when
dog entered a sheep field at night,
the sheep would run wildly around
and cry piteously. Since the goats
have been used to guard them they
form in line behind the goats and
seem to enjoy the fun. The idea of
utilizing goats in this way came from
the West where they are put in
sheep pens to drive away wolves.

BARNES POPULAR HIsr0RY OF THE UNITED

first hundred years of American Ind epen-
dence. The author proposed TO give TO the
whole people of the United States and the
world thoroughly impartial history of
America, from the mound builders to the
present time. AS such it was necessary to
steer free from whatever in recent history
would arouse sectional animosity or party
bitterness. He determined TO meet all

A TRUE FISH STORY.
From Letter in the Albany (Ga.yNew

From Letter in the Albany ga News.
Heading across the bay to st.
Simon's light, the man in charge OF
the wheel hailed MIR. Tiff and direct
ed his attention to something ahead
of us. The object turned out to be
a sharks fin, SO large as to be mat
ter of wonder to the sailors aboard.
The boat happened to be provided
with q shark-line-a MANILA cord
about a half inch thick, with large
hook tied to trace-chain. A small
piece of beef was quickly put on the
hook, float put Oh the line and then
cast out, and then the line made fast
to the capstan. As We neared the
fish the tn disappeared and all eager
" watched the float. Suddenly the
line frightened, the float disappeared
and the headway of the boat was
checked and the man at the capstan
yelled out: Hes hooked J"
1 have been fishing, but I never
saw the like of that. The fellow rose
to the surface of the wave and looked
at us. He had about seventy five
yards of the line out by this time,
and actually III a second he made a
rush and jumped clear over the bow
of the steamer The ladies then got
under shelter and all hands helped to
hold that line The fellow, when he
failed to eat us up, made for the
ocean and fairly made the waters
foam. After about a miles run he
began to tire and the boat was heed
ed for the beach on Jekel Island.
Gradually we pulled in the line until
the boat touched the beach, and then
one of the hands waded ashore, tax
ing the end of the line with him,
which he made fast to a stump and
came back for help.
Four of us got on shore and COM
menced to pull Mr.. Shark ashore. 1t
took all We could do, and two rifle
balls to boot, to land him. When l
tell you that he measured seventeen
feet ten and half inches from tip to
tip you will know what a job we mad.
We determined to prove that we
caught this shark, SO we gave two
negroes S4 to cut him open and get
his head off so that we could get his
Jaw over home. His teeth are won
derful, being about three and-a- quar-
ter inches long and so strong that he
actually fattened out the big iron
hook. The negroes made quite a
prize. In his stomach they found
eleven silver Mexican dollars and one
Spanish doubloon, gold, and whole
lot of brass buttons.

LOVE BY POST.
From the Columbus Enquirer.


About a year ago a party of gen.
tlemen living near Green Hill, Stew
art county, Ga, took a notion that
they would move out West and grow
up with the country. They went to
Texas, and had not been there but a
short time before they formed the
acquaintance of "wire- walker, "
whose name was Bond. The ac-
quaintance ripened into friendship,
and Bond was so pleased with his
new-found friends that he wanted
them to give him a Georgia sweet
heart. This was an easy thing for
them to do, and they recommended
young lady in the Green Hill neigh
borhood. Now comes the romantic
part of the story. One evening after
Miss Annie Nicholson had finished
milking the cows and had rinsed out
the strainer rsg and hung it up by
the door-facing to dry, she got a let
ter. This was not an unusual occur
renee, but the letter was most un.
expected one. 1t was from her
Texas friends, informing her that
they had given her away and that her
lover by proxy wanted to know if he
could write to her. She couldn't re-
fuse such modest request and an
swered him yes Bond wrote to her
Immediately on receiving the per-
mission. He liked her chirography
and the smack of her letter. He
thought he would like her better and
asked for an exchange of pictures
Again she could not refuse. He was
in a heaven of bliss at the sight of
his fair Venus and at once made a
proposal of marriage. She had made
a precedent and it would not do to
violate it, and again she could not re-
fuse.
February 16 was set for the time
of eliminating their happiness by the
holy bonds of wedlock Those who
knew of the love affair said it was all
a joke. but Bond meant business.
Last Friday evening one week ago
a stranger called at the house where
Miss Nicholson resided. 1t was her
Adonis. He saw the goddess of his
hearts idolatry; he took in the stu
alton and was pleased-aye,- fascins-
ted, charmed He left her with a
promise to cali at the appointed time,
when the marriage nuptials would be
celebrated. Last Thursday evening
he was in on time and the happy
was consummated.

A FIGHT WITH A SPIRITED WHALE.
From the Beaufort Telephone.
On Wednesday the whaling crew
on Shackelford's banks, N. c., sight
ed a whale in the offing, and manning
their boats Immediately they started
for the fray. About noon they over
hauled his whaleship, and MIR. James

whaler, struck him with harpoon,
which was followed ON the same rise
by another. The whale Immediately
showed fight, and we are told by the
crew that they never attacked one
that showed more spirit. Messrs.
Windsor and Lewis prepared the
swivel, and on the first opportunity
sent in an explosive bomb, followed
by a second, both striking the whale,
but for some cause failing to explode.
The third shot, however, was more
fortunate, entering vital part and
exploding just at the right time,
which caused almost Immediate death.
