and so did an event which was wholly
unexpected. The goose, in parting with
its limb, slipped from the grasp OF its
opponent and dashed itself against q
bowl containing gravy. The bowl Was
upset, and its contents sought fresh
resting place in the lap Of the bride. A
shrek Of dismay arose as large patch
of the blue silk dress assumed an es-
thetic gray. The bride. covered with
bushes and gravy, hurriedly arose and
left the room, and there were some at
the table Who felt they would sooner be
enjoying free lunch ct barre

that wedding party. As for Mr.. Nc

with desire to sink into the cellar.

A Mule Well Provided For.

Lieutenant Kobbe, stationed at Mount
Vernon barracks, Alabama, reported to
the war department that white mule
which had been at that post As years, was
about ::to nbe sold and the soAicers
asked permission to buy him and keep
him ct their own expense. The petition
went through the regular channels, and
General Sherman submitted the case to
the secretary Of war, with the following
report. and whether true or false. the
soldiers believe it was left at the Big
Spring, where Mount Vernon barracks
now are, at the time General Jackson =
army camped there about 1919 or 1920.
Tradition says it was once sorrel, but
now it is white from age. The quarter

Startled and sbashed at being thus sur

William Jones, with eager trembling

"Is your life lonely? Has the noble
effort on your part to help women to
health and freedom failed quite to fill
your life?" and then sadly, bitterly, he

A Feathered Shepherd.

In South America there IS very
beautiful bird called the agami, or the
golden breasted trumpeter. It is about
as large in the body as one of our COM
mon barnyard fowl, but as it has longer
legs and longer neck, it seems much
larger. Its general color is black, but
the plumage on its breast is beautiful
beyond description, being what might
be called iridescent, changing, as it con-
tinually does, from Q steel blue to red
gold, and glittering with q metallic
luster.
In the wild state the agami is not
peculiar for anything but its beauty, its
extraordinary cry which has given it the
name of trumpeter, and for an odd habit
of leaping with comicsl antics into the
air, apparently for it's own amusement.
When tanned, however-and it soon
learns to abandon its wild ways-it
usually conceives . violent attachment
for its master, and though very jealous
of his affection endeavors to please him
by solicitude for the we'll being Of all
that belongs to him, which may fairly
be termed benevolence.
II is never shut up at night as the
other fowl are; but, with q we'll deserved
liberty, 10 permitted to take up guar.
tiers where it pleases. In the morning it
drives the ducks to the water and the
chickens to the feeding ground, and if
any should presume to wander they are
quickly brought to q sense Of duty by Q
sharp reminder from the strong beak OF
the vlgilant agami. At night the faith
full guardian drives its charge home
again.
Sometimes it is given to the care of a
flock of sheep; and. though it may seem
too puny for such task. it 10 in fact
quite equal to it. The misguided sheep
that tries to trifle with the agami soon
has cause to repent the experiment; for,
with q swiftness unrivaled by any dog,
the feathered shepherd darts after the
runaway, and with wings and beek
drives It back TO its place, not forgetting
to impress upon the offender sense Of
its error by pecks with its beak.
Should Q dog think 10 tai . Vantage
of the seemingly unguarded condition
Of the sheep, and approach them with
evil design, tho agami makes no hesita-
ton about rushing ut him and giving
combat. And it must he . good dog that
will overcome the brave bird. Indeed,
most dogs are 90 awed by the fierce onset
of the agami, accompanied by its strange
cries, that they incontinently turn about
and run, fortunate if they escape I'M
wounded from the indignant creature.
At meal time it walks into the house
and takes its position near its master.
seeming to ask for his caresses. 1t will
not permit the presence of any other pet
in the &C ON. and even resents the intru-
sion Of any servants not belonging there.
driving out all others before it will be
contented. Like we'll bred dog, it does
not clamor for food, but waits with dig
nifty until its wants have been sstis6ed.-
