A Dangerous Pet.
The following story from the West

The following story from the West
may have some truth:
A strange, and what threatened to
be quite serious incident, occurred in
GunnisOn, Colorado. AS Mrs. Robert
Harris and Mrs. E. w. Eastman were
taking a walk near the western edge of
the town with baby carriage contain
ing an infant and child three or four
years old, they encountered pet deer,
which Immediately showed DISPOSE
tion to fight. The mother grabbed
her child from the carriage inst us the
deer fastened his horns in the wheels
and sent the vehicle over his head.
Rushing upon the woman with the in
FAINT he gave them a similar toss, land
ing them in the brush near the road
side considerably bruised. While the
other woman was endeavOring to avoid
his sharp horns, a young man rushed
to her rescue with n dog, but the an
CRY beast settled the dog at one thrust,
and then he sprang upon the young
man, who fired two Intellectual shots
from his revolver, which only seemed
to increase the deer's anger. He
sprang upon the man and thrust one of
his antlers through his thigh, inflicting
an ugly wound, then as he stood over
his PROSTATE victim a second man who
had been attracted to the scene, killed
the animal with double barrelled
shotgun. The injuries to the woman
were not serious.

A Word for the HOmely Girl.

OF four mysterious disappearances
reported recently all were of pretty
girls. A young woman is on trial out
in Kansas for the murder of her hus-
band. She is pretty. A girl in West
Virginia elOped with cOlOred man
and was described in the papers as
"surpassingly beautiful" A maid in
Connecticut ran off with her mothers
second husband. She. was exceeding
ly pretty, and girl in Kentucky, also
handsome and vivacious, poisoned her
fathers coffee and slipped away with
the hired man. The pretty girl figures
very extensively in the sensational
columns of the press, but not so her
palmer sister. The homely girl is new
er found on the slab in the mOrgue
with the cold water dripping on her.
She never runs away with another
woman's husband, and there is no re-
cord of the fact that she ever poisoned
anybody, broke her fathers heart or
caused the tongue of scandal to wag.
Happy is the homely girl, and thrice
happy are they who care for and cher
ish her. She never gets into trouble,
and nobody has any cause to fear her
or to weep for her. 1t is the pretty
girl who does the mischief. Chicago

get that if in those days great many
persons in England did not understand
the true issues, neither did great
many persons in America.
l will conclude by very humbly try
ing to point out what seems to me to
be the responsibility imposed by heav-
en- upon your nation at this time.
1. l would say, first of all, it is to
combine the old with the new. 1t is
to combine the experience of the East
with the daring of the West and to
combine the long past of Europe with
the long future of America.
2. 1t is, secondly, to lead us on in
on in the path of temperance emancipa-
ton. Drink is even worse curse, be
cause more permanent and universal
than slavery itself.
3. To establish a pure and right
eOus press lest the shadows of civiliza-
ton blot out it's sunlight.
A. To strangle the growth of man.
mon worship.
5. To carry out the conception OF
progress, to recognize that it is not
only your duty to preserve but to i'm
prove.
6. To deepen in the world, as
America has had and has exceptional
opportunities for doing, the sense OF
religious tolerance.
z. To work out fearless, intelligent
correlation of religious tradition with
the advancing knowledge of mankind.
If Christianity is to hold her own,
Christians must beware of stagnant
doctrines and dead theOlOgies. Pro-
phetic were the words of John Robin
son to the Pilgrim fathers: 81 am per-
suaded of the Lord that he hath more
truth to break out of his scriptures
Theology must learn to change her
line voluntarily and by her own in
sight, and not be forced to do so only
when the strangling grasp of science
or criticism is at her throat. And
above all, America must show to the
world the true ideal of national right
eOusness. You are, or soon will be-
the greatest in strength, the most af-
fluent in wealth, of all the nations OF
the world. Why? Mainly, l believe
because your fathers feared God. God

He took lunch down town and went
home in the evening to dinner.
AS he tells the story he got cold
chicken, cold butter, cold pie, cold
milk, cold salt, cold mustard, and sew

he was not entirely satisfied, and hunt

first he did not know what it was, but
finally concluded that he wanted bread.

Vermont Cattle i'm the West.

R. B. Galusha of Jericho who has
just returned from trip to Illinois
with several carloads of Vermont cat
tie was interviewed in Rutland by a

500 head of young stock, mostly calves,
from this state this fall, and finds a
ready sale for them on dairy farms
near Peoria, Ill. Calves bring from So

but Vermont dealers have not taken
hold of it much until within two years.

While Governor Pattison, Of Pennsylvania, in

not passing laws for the punishment of railways
that dared to discriminate, Governor Crittenden,
of Missouri has recently sent to the Legislature
of that State message which expresses very
different views on this subject. He says: obs
ordinations will take place in the management
of railways as in the management of any other
class of business. The purchaser of 100 hogs
heads of sugar is ever given more favorable rate
than the purchaser of pound, barrel, or a
single hogshead" Another of his emphatic
declarations is as follows 1T is to the interest
of everybody that railroad companies should re-

bankruptcy of number of important roads in
this country, which, like the Wabash, the Erie,
and many other roads which might be named,

debts, and there is general belief as well, that

trusting that the Louisville 81 Nashville people
will make up their loss, or the Cincinnati
